    18th Studio Album discussion

    This scenario seems more and more likely. And it doesn´t take much of their time, they have written most of their albums (I would say 13/17) in about 6 weeks and then record it for a couple of months. I still definitely think they have one last album left in them. As for performing live, I...

    Bruce Dickinson

    Even though I don`t like leaving traces of internet use on the days that end in nine, I just might make an exception now. For today it has been exactly 35 years since Bruce´s first ever solo gig in Mayfair Ballroom, Newcastle upon Tyne, 19th June 1990...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

    Maiden fans are promised an adequate set list, spanning the seven studio albums from ‘Iron Maiden’ to ‘Seventh Son of a Seventh Son’, with one painful exception and a reasonably spectacular and elaborate show ! Well. At least we now know better to wish anything from NPFTD or FOTD (not counting...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES - The setlist contest

    I scored at lea Scored at least the required ten, so you have to endure me from now on as per usual and what is more, my hiatus is over, yay. No songs from No Prayer, gutted & disgrace. You had one job laddies.

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    Probably over precaution but as I don´t want even slightest risk of setlist spoilers, probably wise to back off from this website until the summer. Therefore, ?th and final summary of the setlist as I firmly believe it will be: -16 or 17 songs in total -5 songs from the first two albums...

    Maiden songs everybody seems to like but you dislike?

    I don´t necessarily dislike any of these, but Children of the Damned, Wasted Years, 7th Son & Writing on the Wall after pausing for a while to think. These are quite overrated. Probably poor example but its like they are praised as Pele or Maradona but they are in the 2nd tier Austria level...

    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    I don't want to sound arrogant, but chees. Of course there is gonna be a new album (explains to an eight year old that 1+1 = 2). It never ceases to amaze me how inexpert this forum is for supposedly being diehard fans.

    Fictional Album Art

    Iron Maiden goes autistic ; the 7th Son album in that style: 1. Manchild 2. Infinite Spectrum 3. Can I Play With Syndrome? 4. The Autistic Things That Men Do 5. Seventh Autistic Son of a Seventh Autistic Son 6. The Prophecy (About Acting Weird & Its Symptoms) 7. The Besserwisser Clairvoyant 8...

    Ed Hunter

    Harris said before the first gig of Ed Hunter tour that Sign of the Cross got most votes but for some reason they postponed playing it live until the Brave New World tour. Also Bruce said before the last gig of Ed Hunter Tour that they can´t play all the epics at one go, so if its between...

    Two songs of a similar formula: Rainmaker versus Stratego - Which one do you like better?

    I like Rainmaker a bit better, but that´s not a minus for Jan by any means. In fact Gers/Harris collaboration album, in my not even that bold opinion, would be stronger than a regular Maiden album.

    Ullevi 2005: the overlooked masterpiece?

    Said it before and saying it again, obviously I`m by no means alone, but Early Days Tour 2005 should´ve been the first three albums, 2008-09 Piece of Mind & Powerslave, 2012-13 SIT & 7th Son AND 2014 90s tour. Or at the very least SIT-FOTD as a nod to the whichever Real x One it was, I always...

    Future past…..live album

    Yeah, in Madrid the venue doors were open for some reason and Bruce caught cold after the gig. Then two days later he was already ill but did the gig and obiously did not fully heal for the Dortmund gig. Interesting approaches to some songs like Lord of the Flies when he was sick on that...

    Bruce Dickinson

    Yes, Bruce mentioned it to Tommy Vnce in VH1 in February 1999 when they were iterating each members background. Bruce wanted Janick to join Maiden but was in difficult position and didn´t have the nerve because they were mates etc, then Nicko actually suggested how about that brilliant greezer...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    Well if we have to gossip might as well talk about Bruce´s hair. I don´t think that was the reason, he was already taking flying lessons and tests with long hair. And he has said multiple times that basically he thought he looked old with it, and, well, certainly did look better with bangs. I...

    NO PRAYER FOR THE DYING - Your thoughts…

    Always weird to read about Bruce´s voice on that album. Head and shoulders above, or at least rejuvinated 2.0 compared to 7th Son voice both album and tour. Actually live in 1988 Bruce´s voice is probably on its worst and in 1990 its quite good. Also in 1992 some of his best ever performances.

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    As a poor man´s expert if I say so myself: 100% certain: Iron Maiden, FOTD, Phantom of the Opera, Running Free. Also Sanctuary is extremely likely Some classics obviously, probably at least the three amigos from TNOTB since none was played on Future Past Tour and Trooper etc NO songs from SIT...

    18th Studio Album discussion

    I guess it still is a mystery if there is anything written yet but I think if not, they will write and record in 2027.
