    IRON MAIDEN: 'Infinite Dreams - The Official Visual History' Book Due In The Fall

    I know it probably can't be 500 pages, but does the book include photos of all the stage sets and used guitars on tours? And I guess not all arts (just covers) with Eddie, plus apparently some merch designs over the years (interesting). To be like complete. I also saw some cool...

    Album Cover Art Cup <<WINNER: Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper >>

    There have been quite a few upsets for me so far, but these first Finals are good. Voted for: Sad Wings Of Destiny (a close call, Holy Diver is iconic and impactful, both use the same colors, but Priest's creatures are always interesting) Painkiller (easy vote over Master Of Puppets) Rising...

    18th Studio Album discussion

    I think it will be the same approach as the last 2 albums, length-wise too. With probably/I hope more faster and shorter songs with Simon, but overall shorter stuff, I don't think so. I feel the band really improved after TFF with the next albums. Structures, parts, ideas, also more varied. SJ...

    ^This. Why not add an acoustic part in the middle of a song this time. Steve could do it for an epic. Adrian could also use an acoustic part. Bruce? Not sure, if the song is fully written by him.

    18th Studio Album discussion

    Bigger solo tour for Bruce, possible, but then hitting the same places for the 2nd leg? Maiden's 2028 tour might not be just Europe, so Bruce's 2nd leg to be shorter, like this year. Maybe he wants to play bigger venues. So if he releases his album in March 2027 (like TMP), tour starting in...

    Maidenfans Best Albums of the Millennium: 2012

    Easy votes here. Unbreakable - one of Primal Fear's good albums as a whole piece, with enough strong ideas. The Priest/Helloween sound. There are a couple of weak songs, but that's normal. Awoken Broken - Primal Rock Rebellion finally clicked (to say). Adrian with even heavier material than...

    Good point. And Bruce's promo for his solo album will be mostly next year with a single, like he did in 2023. But for Maiden's promo, maybe 2028, for release too, is better. They could start a hint game again in 2027 if written.

    IRON MAIDEN: 'Infinite Dreams - The Official Visual History' Book Due In The Fall

    FOTD Eddie sketch or more? I'm curious. Edit: it seems there were 3 main ideas - tree Eddie, bat Eddie and mystic Eddie. Not bad, probably expected for 2 tours and era (unfortunately), although they are with the best 90s stage designs and light shows. Speaking of the SSOASS arts, Bruce really...

    18th Studio Album discussion

    Bruce is planning a European solo tour in the winter of 2027 (probably only Europe), so possible early 2027 for writing and recording (assuming Steve won't be bust with BL, I doubt Adrian would do a 2nd leg of his SK tour)? I guess they'll want a longer break after the tour, so early 2028 for a...

    Blaze Bayley

    This riff is probably tricky (and weird; it fits the tribal vibe of the instrumental section in a way though) to replicate live? Unbeliever's chorus (not easy for Blaze) and instrumental section (perfect for guitarists) are good live, but the rest of the song not so much.

    Maidenfans Best Albums of the Millennium: 2011

    Imaginaerum - not a big fan of the whole album, but it's one of Nightwish's most interesting. Like a fairytale. With 2 of their all time best songs. Anette's voice works for some really well. Still, more than half of it is effective. Elysium - strong ideas, almost all songs are good. The first 2...

    What are the top 5 worst Maiden songs?

    This live version sounds like a pure rock song, with the clean and heavier riff instead of keys (although they fit for the album). I dig it. The repetitive section is replaced with a jam, come to think of it, the song could have had more solos/drumming part if it wasn't for it, as the song...

    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    In the recent interview with Chris Jericho, Bruce said he enjoys such dramatic vocals like those in the Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son verses. Definitely. A missed opportunity that likely won't have a chance in the future.

    Bruce Dickinson

    That's not easy to say with a new band (it should have a bit of its own unique identity and features), and it's very curious, but we should expect: heavy, anthemic, melodic and some ballad-y parts, as always. Different from TMP? I'm not sure what to expect, he admits it as a departure. Maybe...

    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    In other words, he is thinking about his semi-retirement idea again? The question is whether that potential future would be with new albums and the same lineup. In ''some way'' is interesting. I guess it's the hardest for him and Bruce to retire. Like playing a rare Maiden song, lol. Steve...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2026

    He has, so it's odd (btw, he played 2 of his most difficult solo songs towards the end of the set last year). The thing is, Aces as a song is always a great start, not really a middle-type of song, and maybe the band thinks the visuals are perfect for the encore. The tempo too. The first songs...

    Tour merch, event shirts

    It was a live single, but I agree, Infinite Dreams deserves its own mystical art with Eddie. The book was a perfect opportunity, tour too.

    NOW PLAYING

    Dirkschneider & The Old Gang - Babylon An enjoyable album and project. Lots of anthemic parts (great and expected) and Mathias Dieth's guitar work is very good and tasty. Some opinions on the songs: All in all, considering their style, it's difficult to point out weak or filler songs. Good...
