So Future Past live album with Simon rerecording the drums in studio?

I'm sure the Maiden camp will review your posts on this forum and take your opinion into account when adjusting the track listing for the future live album!!!

To be fair this is the biggest heavy metal band in the world. Blaze Bayley out of key or Nicko out of shape is not going to work on a live album.

Would have been much better if Run for Your Lives was the 2023-2024 tour saying goodbye to Nicko, while 2025-2026 was 40th anniversary Future Past tour celebrating Somewhere in Time with Simon. I was beyond excited for a SiT themed live album, but the performance quality for the band in total is...

One of the best moments in Iron Maiden history? Might be!

Do we really want one though?

"Despite the legendary status of the concert, it seems to have been overlooked in favor of other live recordings." - obviously overlooked in the sense of official releases. Must have been a great conversation over at the Maiden camp: "Oh wow this seems really popular among the fans. Let them...

For some context, there are a few tours from the 2000s that don't have corresponding live albums, the Early Days tour in 2005 and A Matter of Life and Death tour in 2006. For many, the former is considered one of the greatest tours in Iron Maiden's history. The setlist is absolutely unreal, and...

If you prefer hearing the songs as they were originally recorded, then you must dislike Nicko playing Clive’s parts.

Nicko didn't play the songs like Clive and maybe they are looking for someone who isn't an exact Nicko copy playing wise.

Blaze Bayley announced Iron Maiden annoversary Tour in 2024. Really excited for this as they are my two favourite albums. Tour starts next year!

You know, you could simply plug this into chatgpt and ask it to help structure it a bit

Joe was the top choice for several years, but ultimately, I believe Simon is a better fit. Joe might have conflicted with the band's image and perhaps even his playing style. It’s similar to the situation with Tommy Clufetos in Sabbath—Vinny Appice would have been a better choice in that case.

Just finished the book. Sold the song to Maiden dirt cheap.

I remember attending a show in 1995 after a four-year gap, having not seen any performances between 1991 and 1995. At the time, I was not that into Maiden, and I mistakenly thought Fear of the Dark and Afraid to Shoot Strangers were from The X Factor album, therefore considering the new album a...

I live in a reality where both conditions are often caused by atherosclerosis, where plaque builds up in the arteries, leading to narrowing or blockages. Does the lack of distinction between them make it harder for you to understand the concept of potential replacement musicians in Iron Maiden?

When Joe was the retainer drummer, he was told before the tours (Legacy of the Beast/Book of Souls) to learn the set. Joe was not available for the 2023/2024 tour. Nicko suffered his stroke in January 2023 and informed the band via email the following day. On February 28, 2023, British Lion...

Exactly, that's my point. The Simon announcement stated that he will be the drummer in 2025. Nothing about 2026. Why is Simon announced as the drummer for 2025 if the tour is already scheduled to continue into 2026? Might be a communication error. However, if I were to speculate (as I've done...
