    18th Studio Album discussion

    Bruce is planning a European solo tour in the winter of 2027 (probably only Europe), so possible early 2027 for writing and recording (assuming Steve won't be bust with BL, I doubt Adrian would do a 2nd leg of his SK tour)? I guess they'll want a longer break after the tour, so early 2028 for a...

    Blaze Bayley

    This riff is probably tricky (and weird; it fits the tribal vibe of the instrumental section in a way though) to replicate live? Unbeliever's chorus (not easy for Blaze) and instrumental section (perfect for guitarists) are good live, but the rest of the song not so much.

    Maidenfans Best Albums of the Millennium: 2011

    Imaginaerum - not a big fan of the whole album, but it's one of Nightwish's most interesting. Like a fairytale. With 2 of their all time best songs. Anette's voice works for some really well. Still, more than half of it is effective. Elysium - strong ideas, almost all songs are good. The first 2...

    What are the top 5 worst Maiden songs?

    This live version sounds like a pure rock song, with the clean and heavier riff instead of keys (although they fit for the album). I dig it. The repetitive section is replaced with a jam, come to think of it, the song could have had more solos/drumming part if it wasn't for it, as the song...

    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    In the recent interview with Chris Jericho, Bruce said he enjoys such dramatic vocals like those in the Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son verses. Definitely. A missed opportunity that likely won't have a chance in the future.

    Bruce Dickinson

    That's not easy to say with a new band (it should have a bit of its own unique identity and features), and it's very curious, but we should expect: heavy, anthemic, melodic and some ballad-y parts, as always. Different from TMP? I'm not sure what to expect, he admits it as a departure. Maybe...

    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    In other words, he is thinking about his semi-retirement idea again? The question is whether that potential future would be with new albums and the same lineup. In ''some way'' is interesting. I guess it's the hardest for him and Bruce to retire. Like playing a rare Maiden song, lol. Steve...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2026

    He has, so it's odd (btw, he played 2 of his most difficult solo songs towards the end of the set last year). The thing is, Aces as a song is always a great start, not really a middle-type of song, and maybe the band thinks the visuals are perfect for the encore. The tempo too. The first songs...

    Tour merch, event shirts

    It was a live single, but I agree, Infinite Dreams deserves its own mystical art with Eddie. The book was a perfect opportunity, tour too.

    NOW PLAYING

    Dirkschneider & The Old Gang - Babylon An enjoyable album and project. Lots of anthemic parts (great and expected) and Mathias Dieth's guitar work is very good and tasty. Some opinions on the songs: All in all, considering their style, it's difficult to point out weak or filler songs. Good...

    18th Studio Album discussion

    Idk how the material in BL is written, but it's probably different for Steve live and in the studio. But he has songwriting experience with Simon in mind, so that's good. His longer material is probably a bit tricky now. The overall statement should be true. The interview with Steve from today...

    Bruce Dickinson

    At least they played Revelations once, second to last song in the set. Good performance by the band, a bit of a different vibe as Bruce mentioned (Mistheria played an extra solo between the two solos, it's odd to hear one there; the solos were very nice renditions), Bruce rules. Philip with a...

    Album Cover Art Cup <<WINNER: Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper >>

    Such details in the (full art) background are always cool and add a lot, especially in the sky. Space theme done very well and in a painted style.

    NOW PLAYING

    The verses of ''Flash Of The Blade'' could have been a Priest song, Bruce likes SFV and SWOD after all.

    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    Even if the interviewer mistaken Bruce's solo album for the next year, I think that's a curious quote from Steve. It gives a little more hope by saying - that he's not ruling it out, not been properly discussed (but still discussed in some way), and that there's no reason NOT to record another...

    Bruce Dickinson

    I loved that Bruce complimented Blaze's voice. Btw, Purple's ''Mandrake Root'' instrumental section is cool and perfect for the theme, especially for 1968! Long tribal drumming with keys (more than half of the song!), right for Bruce's band. If only he has a proper title track for the latest...

    Blaze Bayley

    I think he likes Sign, Clansman and probably Futureal. Man (for sure, it's for Blaze) and Flies probably not so much, but the latter was such a surprise for the 2003 tour that he should at least enjoy it. And it's like a song they could have written with him in the 90's. He did a great job with...
