I was team Joe before all this drama, but now Simon seems like the least dramatic alternative. He fits in age and mentality wise.

Wow

Fan club president 1997 - 2019 i think? Brother in law to Steve.

This is Simon with The Outfield:

I’ve put together a quick summary of Simon Dawson's history in this article, as I know many fans are eager to learn about his background (while it was written somewhat hastily). Feel free to share any suggestions for improvement...

The chance of them opening with spit fire just increased

Needs another original member if Steve retires - Ron Rebel Matthews!

This explains why British Lion has been following Maiden on tour all year. I wouldn’t be surprised if Simon has been rehearsing or soundchecking with them here and there. It’s similar to the Blaze Bayley situation: bringing in someone who’s used to performing 20-30 club gigs a year and...

Great choice! He sounds really good live:

To be honest, I was initially quite disappointed when I first heard Rock in Rio at 16. The songs from Iron Maiden (Iron Maiden, Sanctuary), Killers (Wrathchild), and The Number of the Beast (The Number of the Beast, Hallowed Be Thy Name, Run to the Hills) sounded so different compared to how...

Legends!

Tonight marks the end of the Future Past tour, and with it, we bid farewell to the greatest lineup in metal history. Steve Harris, Nicko McBrain, Bruce Dickinson, Adrian Smith, and Dave Murray defined heavy metal in the 1980s, and with Janick Gers, the 1999–2024 lineup propelled the band to the...

First brand new member announcement (not counting Smith/Dickinson as they returned) since december 1993 coming up

Besides Steve, everyone in Maiden is a hired gun and earns significantly less. Thats the way the IM company is set up. I think Bruce owns the beer branch and all the guys have shares in the company that owns the merchandise side (if i remember right).

Are the realistic alternatives Doug Sampson, Steve Dawson or Joe Lazarus?

I’m not talking about individual performances, as a whole 1996, 1998, 2023 and 2024 were the worst to see Maiden. 1995 was okay, those b-sides from Kåren are amazing!

I hate to say this, but I’m much more excited for the next tour now. Performance-wise, The Future Past tour has been even weaker than the Blaze Bayley tours. If Bruce stays in top form, next year’s tour could be the best since 2008.

Sorry mate

Next year you dont have to imagine it!

You almost got it right!
