    https://www.loudersound.com/bands-artists/steve-harris-interview-iron-maiden-early-years New interview with Steve? Not the full one? This part is about the early days/first 2 albums. I like what he said about good album covers, logo and his specific writing (even drum parts!, melody is...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2026

    Isolated drums of Rime's first half from Simon's debut. Idk if it was shared before. More than solid enough, different fills. edit: Bruce said he keeps the album tempos (Hallowed is a good example), but sometimes the instrumental part of Rime, the encore songs, Trooper feel a bit slow, which is...

    18th Studio Album discussion

    For the same reasons any old band still does it. Musician's creative desire. Well said. I also think Adrian is being honest too, but at the same time we know they like to work in secret, unlike other old bands. Steve's answers have a bit more weight, right. Maybe they also need time to see how...

    How Adrian writes his solos: ''a catchy melody, technical or flashy trick, good beginning, strong end.''

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2026

    Infinite is great, it should be played again, but I love Afraid and it's only been returned on 1 tour so far, so. Not playing Infinite during the current tour is more unfortunate for me.

    Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

    When was the last time Maiden played 3 same dates in a row, back in the 80s, right. So I doubt it was really in their plans. Let's wait, there's enough time. I doubt it's because of Nicko. And how they have overestimated the demand after probably their best tour this year? Plus, Maiden really...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2026

    It's an effective show (lights, effects with the bigger(?) screen), it looks wider, but it's the same template for them, nothing new. And it's not something unseen. For me, Maiden's one is better. Sabaton's new stage show is their best, more physical props (which is always cool, the big prop...

    18th Studio Album discussion

    From a new interview with Adrian (quite a few lately): ''Maiden only tour 3 months a year now, and we don't really record anymore, at least, you know, there is no immediate plans to. So I have a lot of time, I like to be productive. There are no plans at the moment, no.'' This is just... let's...

    Adrian Smith

    https://www.metaltalk.net/interview-adrian-smith-on-2026-smith-kotzen-tour-knebworth-and-urchin.php I still see the Urchin guys, my old band. We still play when we get a chance. You know, just some fun. We’re like brothers, really. I think people will enjoy this show, because we’ve got a...

    NOW PLAYING

    Tailgunner - Tears In Rain 2nd single inspired by Blade Runner. Cool. So far two great singles from a promising band (like Wings Of Steel). Both sound old school. This one has a nice melancholic intro (British Lion vibe), the style of the verses and riff are really fitting (HammerFall vibe)...

    Bruce Dickinson

    What I found about their recordings: Tanya - she plays bass on 2 songs on Dee Snider's 2018 solo album. I couldn't find more. Dave - his earliest studio recording is listed from 1997 in Wikipedia. His famous works are Roy's TOG's Dweller On The Threshold and Puddle Of Mudd's Welcome To...

    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    From a new interview with Adrian - he said he doesn't know what's happening with Maiden in 2027, he's not looking that far ahead now. That didn't really say much, but he also mentioned a possibility of a new SK album and tour in 2027... ''you're never satisfied with the writing and playing''...

    Adrian Smith

    I thought they won't be in a hurry, but in this new interview with Adrian, he said they're already talking about different songs and writing new stuff (the same style, it's great for him to play clubs again), so he's hoping for another album and tour, why not in 2027 (didn't say the same about...

    Dance Of Death - the album

    ^Probably the best example from the Reunion era. Actually, DOD has some experiments with sound and stuff, but overall it's what the early 90s albums could have been with a more traditional Maiden approach. Or surprisingly close to a traditional Bruce solo album approach. Bruce and Adrian have...

    Battle Beast

    https://blabbermouth.net/news/battle-beast-announces-new-vocalist-marina-la-torraca Noora left the band to pursue her solo career. It won't be the same without her, what a voice, but I'm interesting in hearing her solo material, hope for different approaches. Marina La Torraca (Phantom Elite...

    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    Interesting to read that Blaze encouraged Steve not to care about the criticism or feedback, good call from him. It seems like Steve cared about such stuff at the time (also asking himself if he does the same thing all over again with his songwriting, that's interesting), which he already should...

    Adrian Smith

    In a new interview, Adrian said that he might think about playing some different material during the upcoming SK tour: ASAP/Urchin, Psycho Motel songs (he likes The Last Chain, he really likes the 2nd album; this material will fit them great), even a different Maiden song from Wasted Years (the...
