I agree with the above. Capitalism has many, many flaws, but it's still a better system than socialism. If you've had the opportunity to live under both, it's truly difficult to choose the latter. Romanticizing socialism is usually the domain of the younger generation, and I personally wonder...

I know. Ok, maybe I misunderstood what Bruce mean. For me 'not using any studio tricks or technology" meant "no modern improvements over sound and recording methods etc.". If that's wordy way of saying 'no remote album recording' that's different :-)

Which is funny given his hate for no prayer for the dying album.

You're too focused on the details here :-) A musician doesn't sell master tapes, they sell copies. So, sticking with the analogy, a painter would sell reproductions here. And about new works? Maiden have many albums, right? However, that's not the point of the example. The point is: you don't...

And I disagree with that. The owe us new music because of what exactly? Being a music band? Being big music band? I don't follow the logic here. At the end of the day - they are music band, they play music that they want to play and people have freedom to either listen to that or not. There is...

It's always funny to read business analysis from someone without access to decision room & data.

I don't mean to be mean or unkind, but the value of such observations is very, very low. Without knowing the management's numbers and business plans, an external assessment is worthless because you have no way to relate your observations to the goals they set for themselves. Judging by Google...

And the proof of that is...?

I dont know exact situation here but if sales are below expactation then normal marketing strategy is to move lead magnet as close possible to the event date to make cross promotion.

I just wanted to say that "verified rumor" is an oxymoron soooo...

Yeah. There was time when I was thinking that Dave is the one who doesn't enjoy playing anymore. But since LotB I think that I was wrong.

Ok, but substract from that time pandemic & tours.

People see What they want to see and some like to add some stuff. That kind of opinion would sugest attendance on multiple shows with sole focus on Dave (and great visibility). Yeah. Someone should go outside and touch the grass.

Entitlement is strong in this one. Steve next year will be 70. I didn't know that he's obliged to make album until death? If he want to rest - he fully deserves that & he has full right to put whatever time he has left into things that make him happy. If that is British Lion - good for him.

But these are quite possibly small details. 'I dunno (...)' may be result of uncertainty about available time. and noise... well, this is something quite subjective and leaves a lot of room for interpretation. Maybe he hates the idea, or maybe he had a bad day or didn't drink his morning...

To be honest, Steve isn't negative or scared about recording an album. I think we're starting to get a little carried away. Bruce said Simon is a good drummer and maybe they should record a new album. Steve replied that he doesn't have time, and that's pretty much it. The comment about the...

TBH. Roy Z is not Roy Z since... what? 200X? ToS wasn't that great, Mandrake Project is divisive and his input on Halford albums was average at best.

The 2027 break is 99% a break after a grueling tour. Rod clearly stated in the press release that the band's history is '50 years... and counting...' and they're working with Yondr, which might suggest that future tours will be phone-free zones. It seems 2027 is a year of reorganization, and...

I'd rather bet he doesn't want to suggest they'll record anything because they have legal obligations (and doesn't want to take the focus off the tour) & doesn't know how Simon will perform in the studio with the band. I think a realistic scenario is that they want to record an album, but Simon...

Nah, last tour poster & 'songs from first 9 albums from iron maiden to fear of the dark' was false advertising. Show was great but I still feel disappointed by this. Either way - great that they are again on road in 2026 and I'm sure that there will be more dates in US. I'm interested if 2027 is...
