You can certainly find examples for this in metal history but in the case of Iron Maiden, I really can not imagin the other members even having that idea of carrying on with a band called "Iron Maiden" without Steve Harris.
I would have liked it a non-British singer in a more and more international metal scene. That their roots and what they stand for can only be honoured if they are all British does not make complete sense to me. I never read (hear) this argument when new members of other bands are discussed.
But...
I don't think it was mentioned again. On Facebook he doesn't respond to comments on this. For other projects he sometimes replies or gives a like. I also expected you hear something at the end of the year if he was working on it instead of touring.
Wonder if there will be new material played on...
Yes, of course. I never believed he surprised everyone with this a week before the last show.
Its is just speculation, and sometimes I was wrong but I always like to pay attention to small details in photos or what someone says (if it is not a prepared statement) because it reveals sometimes...
Yes, I really wonder why they didn't do that. It would have had many advantages and it wasn't that difficult to come up with the idea, nor would it have been particularly expensive or work-intensive.
Simon's drum kit is small but I don't see why he couldn't change it for Maiden.
And while all that is prepared, the contract with the big star is being finalised and Rod laughs about Lazarus' rants and how Lazarus really believed his son had a role in Steve's masterplan. ;)
Ok, I admit that...
This is just a confirmation for Steve that the decision against Joe was the right one. No band needs someone whose father might rant on Facebook if something happens on tour that his son finds unfair.
Is mr. Lazarus really too stupid to understand that?
I think they will definetly use the Sao Paulo material but maybe it will be more a "The Future Past Tour Experience" video and they will use material from Wacken also? Someone wrote there were a lot of cameras.
That exactly would have been the plan: Everybody discussing Priest, but the story has a good ending with the fans satisfied.
And everybody in the band, out , no, wait in the band again remained remarkeably calm.
Maybe I am wrong. I don't know what happened. It just made my wonder because it was...
I think that would be a possible timeline. And then indeed a heavy blow. Now leads to him talking about not wanting to be in the house band under any circumstances all the time.
Is it sure that that wasn't just a marketing trick to get Priest headlines, get attention? So much would have to be arranged and agrreed for this and then it was all revised so quickly again and all involved seemed to be fine with all of it. Odd.
This interview was published yesterday but it must have been recorded much earlier because Roy talks about looking forward to touring "The Mandrake Project" in 2024 and the possibility to tour the US in 2025.
He also comments on the individual songs
Bruce und Roy have discussed about religion not too long ago for sure (I don't mean by this that different opinions on religion was the reason for their falling-out) but you can tell they had this topic because they wrote the song "Fingers In The Wounds" together about what if Jesus were an...
