    Black Sabbath

    Picked up the vinyl boxset yesterday for the newly released Tony Martin albums. Bit disappointed to be honest. A small but noticeable scratch on the front of the box, likely from the way it was handled at HMV. Not a massive big deal but a bit annoying. Upon opening up the box set I also...

    The official Maiden Tshirt discussion thread

    Nice idea primary but that is hideous! Who on earth thought a cream hoodie with such a small back print and a sparse front would look good :nonono:

    On a further point I have no idea why the band and their management think that dvds and blu rays don’t sell anymore. There’s still a big market for physical formats and loads of bands still release them. I guess they can’t be arsed to make one when they think some low life is gonna download it...

    I still hold out some hope that we will get a history pt. 4 documentary but I don’t think it’ll concentrate on the 1990’s. I think it’ll likely cover the period from straight after pt. 3 Finishes right the way through the 90’s, reunion and final days and will likely turn up in a box set when the...

    With all this talk of a big tour coming up in 2026 and the success of the future past hybrid tour between 2 albums I’m convinced the next big tour will also be a hybrid tour. The more I think about it the more I’m convinced a superb idea would be to combine post and pre reunion eras. Not sure...

    When Bruce talks about a big Maiden tour in 2026, in my opinion I don’t think that refers to a pure greatest hits tour. I think with time running out the future past tour has given them a reason to combine a new album with a greatest hits tour. I thinks it’s feasible that a new album drops end...

    Fair comment. I didn’t know the 2015 remaster changed as much as what you mentioned. I’ve got it but I’ve never listened to it. Bought more as I was collecting the 2015 remasters in vinyl than to actually listen to it as I have the original CD and vinyl. My go to when listening to dance of...

    I think the reason I’m bored of hearing it is because no amount of criticisms is ever going to change a thing. The reunion albums already released are what they are. Can’t change this and I very much doubt Steve will ever go back to these albums in the future and remix them or do anything to...

    That comparison is nonsense. I keep hearing people say that theirs loads of mistakes in the last few albums and I honestly I don’t hear many. I think some fans are bit too obsessed and analyse things in far too much minute detail. As I said, recent albums are basically live albums recorded in...

    Saxon

    Whilst I love the 80’s albums, even the much maligned albums like Destiny and Rock the Nations, personally my favourite period of Saxon is late 90’s until now. I would recommend to anyone to start with Unleash the beast which is a superb album and then just work your way through each album...

    This statement couldn’t be further from the truth in my opinion. Maiden in no way are being lazy with their approach to sound and most definitely are not trying to save any money. Kevin Shirley is a top producer and I’ve loved some of the albums he has produced for other bands/artists. The...

    How much are you willing to pay for the ticket to the final Iron Maiden gig?

    I have to say, Maiden tickets for the uk have been quite reasonably priced for a very long time now, at least in regard to what other bands charge. Last year I had decent seats at the O2 for the the future past tour and including fees/charges I think the tickets worked out around £85 in total...

    Bruce Dickinson

    I’ve always thought this. A day doesn’t go by without some interview somewhere from a band/artist complaining about streaming platforms ripping them off and paying pennies. If everyone took their music off the platforms then surely the streaming service would either a) die out or b) be forced...

    The new Priest album is brilliant. I like Blazes album too but have only given it one full listen. Just keep going between new Priest, new Saxon and new Bruce at the moment.

    Tailgunner (UK band)

    Not bad at all. Lots of potential here but…..Tailgunner is a piss poor name for a band. I thought they were gonna be a maiden tribute band when I saw the name of the thread. Also the vocal Melodie’s sound a little off to me. Rebirth was much better than White Death, that first song I thought...

    Bruce Dickinson

    Funny how the general fan base almost completely disagree with the majority of posters in this forum :p I do enjoy reading people’s opinions, even if they are wildly different from my own. Just find it interesting how a bunch of people can listen to the same thing yet all get a different...

    Can’t see anything related to Liam Gallagher on that twitter link, scrolled for ages trying to find it lol.

    Bruce Dickinson

    Didn’t ask him to be honest. I only literally a couple of mins with him if that and this is all about his solo stuff so thought it might be a bit rude to be like “nice solo album and all that but….lets talk maiden”

    Bruce Dickinson

    enjoyed meeting Bruce last night at the HMV signing. Although I had limited time with Bruce we did exchange a few words and when I mentioned I’m looking forward to hearing some of these new songs on the upcoming tour he straightaway mentioned exactly what tracks will be played. Thought a...
