    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    The most interesting thing from that interview is that the first thing the band played in 1999 rehearsals, and coincidentally as a 6 man lineup (not counting Running Free from 1992) was a rough instrumental version of The Wicker Man, based on Adrian's demo.

    Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

    20th and 21st are out due to recording IMO. They won't rush to Paris and then record an one-shot gig, unless it's an additional night on 21st in Paris. There could be something on 18th or 19th, tho, if 2nd Paris night won't happen. If I had to bet, it's another gig on 18th and/or additional...

    Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

    One was taken to the studio along with the Barre Strat during TBOS, but not used. Barre Strat was used on TOAC solo by Adrian.

    Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

    As I said before, the 64 almost came back to service in 2013. However, it seems like Dave prefers really small necks this days. Cali Series Strat is an anomaly in that regard, since it has incredibly small neck according to Colin. Hicks Strat has a direct copy of that neck on it. Dave also...

    All that playing was the same guy. I think it was Alan. Adrian's cabs are much closer.

    Yeah, interesting that Time Machine is in Kashmir DADGAD. Eddie Marsh is drumming with a band currently as far as I know.

    What are the top 5 worst Maiden songs?

    Yes. The Nicko version. Album version is shite, tho.

    Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

    Of course the sales aren't strong. The prices for that gig are ridiculous. I could get a return TAP boarding pass from Venice and one standing ticket for Lisbon for the price of one standing ticket in Milan.

    Sting announcement also happened a week ago, but he is playing Zagreb instead of rumoured Pula gig.

    Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

    Thanks for the photo. I had a very strong suspicion that the Kossof didn't have a stock trem in the early 80's. It could be that Kahler made those saddles and that's where the mistake came from, although they look like a very early Gotoh brass saddles. It looks like bridge in that...

    18th Studio Album discussion

    Senjutsu tour became TFP tour because of Covid. I said this before... I think the focus on SIT grew simply from Bruce and Nicko wanting to do Stranger and Alexander live badly. Also, they wanted to represent Senjutsu ASAP after release, so they did the first 3 tracks during LOTB and afterwards...

    Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

    Then, it's indeed a mistake. But I remember vivirdly that Kossoff had a vintage Fender type trenolo with brass saddles at some point in the late 80s and an extra long tremolo arm, that is still on the guitar. Also, I highly doubt that is the whole Kahler catalogue. There are some bridges...

    Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

    I know that. The vintage Strat style bridge that was installed after is probably a Kahler. Kahler also did some non-locking Strat bridges and I think one of those is on guitar now or it was swapped back to original bridge since retirement of the guitar. I highly doubt that the original...
