Found something interesting in the announcement video: Question Everything

Be Quick or Be Dead would be a great opener. Such an underrated song.

Pretty sure we had Total Eclipse speculation in the last tour too and it never materialized. Its realistically just that the moon is from the debut album cover. Seeing the full resolution artwork doesn't reveal much more than we already knew. The whole art vibe is close to Iron...

I don't think there's much market for a reunion era tour in all honesty. Only the most hardcore fans would be interested in that.

This is actually a bit better resolution than the one that was posted earlier. Not much hints in the artwork. Obviously the whole vibe is IM/Killers. Though the shoulder is FOTD, the neck and red eye suggest SIT or SSOASS.

That would be far too late. They're not going to announce a summer tour only a few months before it kicks off.

I just hope they really throw a few curve balls in. There's potential for this to be the most bog standard, boring, predictable as hell greatest hits set ever, and I really hope they avoid that.

I think that would be a pretty cool concept. Though it potentially means a lull in the setlist when the casual fans don't get an 80's song for 20 mins

I think he's just rambling a bit, not quite figured out what he wants to say at the end of the show yet.

This is pretty clearly the guitar going out of tune after the solo rather than someone playing the wrong thing.

I honestly don't think significantly upgrading their shows/production for bigger venues would be a smart move for Maiden financially. It would require significant investment and increased touring costs with no guarantee of success. They can make some tweaks to what they do to keep things fresh...

The casuals don't even know the setlist ahead of the gig, hence them moaning when they get the setlist that was promoted rather than the greatest hits that they expect every time.

What update? Is it just that they've put up the latest tour artwork?

Yeah this was a really dull interview. Basically half an hour of hero worship.

No. Compression is used to control volume and dynamics. (there are some shades of grey here, e.g. multi-band compression) but the result and objective isn't to make all frequencies the same volume. I'm not trying to sound like a dick, but as someone who's worked in audio for well over a decade...

It's clearly not a money thing with Maiden. The cost barriers to high quality recordings are basically zero these days. But they choose to book a huge studio for 3 months with basically zero songs written. It's actually a very expensive way to do things. They could easily get together at one...

Daves solo's clipping are almost certainly a result of the mastering process. X Factor isn't a loudness war casualty, it's simply poorly mixed.

The only blessing we might get from Nickos stroke. It could make the band abandon the "record everything live as we write it" approach. They instead could spend time writing so that Nicko can then go away to work out and practice his parts. He still might need a good amount of takes so they...

Little bit from Nickos interview that's relevant. About 54 mins in: Talking about meeting the drum corps after the Mountbatten gig he said:
