    5 Reasons Iron Maiden Won the Long Game

    The factors imo: 1)the talent of the band, ofc. 2)Eddie + the elaborated live shows, touring in general. 3)perseverance, determination/dedication, sticking to the music (and length) they like, and making their own decisions (regarding everything, from the music to promotion). 4)constantly...

    Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

    So glad to see this, Maiden totally deserved this success after the Reunion. Albums, tours, shows, playing, everything. A pure of example of how it's done.

    Iron Maiden Album Art Showdown

    I see. Eeeh, how the singles have fallen since 2006, it was fun with b-sides, live stuff and more (small) arts that add to the world of the albums. Yeah, the game will be long, but it's curious to have them all. Idk, only the official covers is probably right. I think some have a good chance to...

    Iron Maiden Album Art Showdown

    Making TFF singles comics style was probably the best idea. Not only it's unique and different, but it ties the album's theme, which was hard to do with El Dorado. With the other two, the title track and Coming Home, they could have done some space sci-fi action with Eddie (something from the...

    Adrian also said he likes to be creative. In this new interview he said he loves what he do with Maiden, but they tour 3 months per year now and haven't really recorded in a while, so that's another reason he wants to run the SK project, besides the love for the more rock music. It sounds to me...

    Nicko McBrain

    Nicko did another show with his solo band yesterday. Same 10 songs, but Chris from Bruce's solo band was there and they played Moonchild with him. And Heaven Can Wait too. :) They also played with Pat Travers. Moonchild and Clansman were very lively, kudos Nicko.

    This. I feel Steve will be inspired by Bruce's new and his best solo material as he calls it. Bruce will probably release his solo album in early or March 2027 (he will do most of the promotion next year, as well as the singles), then tour until August, so the fall (and early 2027, their wanted...

    NOW PLAYING

    SIT is indeed associated with such harmonies, a timeless sound. On SK's new album, the song Life Unchained has a SIT-esque intro by Adrian and it takes you back. Yeah, the vocals aren't my cup of tea for some reason. This instrumental is cool though, the keys also add. It has a classic melodic...

    NOW PLAYING

    Great song. Chez Kane is an artist/band that sounds so classic 80s, love it. Glam metal at its best, vocals too. I should check all albums, a new favorite. The long harmony on this song is indeed great, pure highlight, best idea for the song and definitely worthy. A real gem! Adrian will like it...

    The Book of Souls: General album discussion

    Reflecting on the album, Eternity and especially Empire are very important songs for it, the latter being like the culmination of everything. I don't think any other Maiden albums has such a strong core of 3 songs (the epics) that are essential, not singles. Maybe SJ, Steve's songs are more...

    Maidenfans Best Albums of the Millennium: 2018

    Already Won has cool harmonies and an impactful chorus that Blaze tries hard for, but his vocals in the verses are not the best. The song starts with the solo!

    Steve and they all prefer touring, they don't want to think about retirement (he says he's scared to slow down), but that doesn't mean they won't release one last album. New music doesn't mean no touring, just more pressure and expectations (stage sets are easier with screens). And Steve doesn't...

    Judas Priest

    ^I didn't know that! It makes sense, the Jugulator sound can be heard, as in the overall mood of Lochness. Judas Rising may be an idea from the mid 80s (whole song, who knows), but it's definitely Pankiller-ized. The fast riffs and tempos are the album's DNA.

    Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

    Niiice. 1983 photo, when Adrian started playing the brown SG live. Probably a studio guitar, never used live(?). It's interesting to see The Three Amigos' studio guitars over the years (not used live). Do we have a full list of them?

    Iron Maiden Album Art Showdown

    With a football theme or a landscape (like in the original art), it works for the overall idea. Like red or orange as a dominant color. With landscape it's like a power metal cover. Me too, great idea. Considering the theme of the song and not to repeat the same idea, they could have done...
