Gave this a listen. He's definitely got alot of his finesse back! The explosive power likely is gone forever, but it's an absolute pleasure hearing him at this level behind the kit again :)

Yeah between the frequent hand bruising, the recent MRI that they're not being transparent about, his regular cognitive tests and his general verbal decline over the last couple of years it's clear that there's something wrong. But transparency isn't a thing in this administration.

I can see Maiden doing a few months in the studio early in the year. Bruce releasing and touring his new solo album, and Steve probably doing some British Lion stuff. Janick, Dave and Adrian would have most of the year off unless there's more Smith/Kotzen stuff.

Yeah if Steve really wants to tour as much as possible then taking 2027 off to do NOTHING doesn't really make sense. Got to be studio time. We know Bruce is keen.

Honestly the "far left/socialist/communist" label just seems to be a stick to beat your opponents with. Centre right corporate Dems use it to attack anyone left of them. Republicans, Fox News etc use it even to attack the centre right Dems. Are these "far left" Dems advocating for the state to...

I can't say I've seen anything Mamdani has said thats antisemitic. He's a fierce critic of Isreals genocide, and some are quick to twist that into antisemitism. It's the same playbook we've seen many times before. I think Democrats will ride a pretty huge blue wave in the mid terms. Even some...

Thats an outrageous price for a Mexican strat.

As far as I know Maiden actually pay their support bands. But someone like The Hu will be much cheaper to book than a bigger band that would actually make the lineup stronger and help to shift tickets.

Agreed, the lineup is REALLY poor. Maiden could realistically ask almost any rock/metal band in the world and they would most likely say yes. I think the supports was more of a financial decision.

I mean Europe generally works towards peace I think. We've not had war in Europe for a long time and normally are trying to negotiate and mediate with other countries these days. Sending troops into other countries is often seen as a absolute last resort. The Russia Ukraine war is the big...

Trump only cares about peace if he can make himself look good. Just like Trump happily bombed Iran, attacks boats in the Atlantic, or sends ICE to snatch people from the streets to make him look tough. He is friends with dictators because it makes him look important. He brags about taking...

Most MAGAs couldn't define neocon if their lives depended on it. MAGA is literally a cult of personality based on worshipping Trump. He managed to activate lots of people who weren't interested in politics before now. Vance has all the charisma and character of an old couch. I really don't...

"I wouldn't have minded playing a couple of different things on the last tour, maybe "Only The Good Die Young" or something like that. But at the end of the day the singer of your band, obviously Bruce in our case, has to be comfortable with the song selection. They've got to be sure that they...

I've got the PDF. Give me a mo and I'll pull the quote.

I had an absolute nightmare trying to get Glasgow standing tickets. The site showed they were available but then when trying to go to checkout they were gone. Happened for ages. That was on Fanclub Presale. Seen posts from several others having the same problem that day. I ended up getting...

Presale for last years UK dates were a shambles too. I think ticketmaster are deliberately making their system shit in the hope you'll buy whatever overinflated tickets are left. Just a few years ago everything worked fine and you never had problems getting Maiden tickets.

RFYL had a new Eddie a whole marketing campaign and new merch plus a tour. So other than the recording/writing a new album has exactly the same work involved. As mentioned there's other people who actually do the overwhelming bulk of the work. Maiden just communicate artwork ideas and provide...

https://www.facebook.com/share/1AFfvuwgqy/ Maiden just posted about Sweden Rock. Nothing else mentioned.

While a peace deal is better than continuing the genocide it kinda seems to me that it's only come about because there's basically nothing left to bomb. Gaza is absolutely destroyed, nearly 70 thousand people killed. Isreal got what they wanted and don't seem to have conceded anything in this...
