    Bruce Dickinson

    A special one-off? His solo stuff and band? Interesting, the year of perhaps a big solo tour. ''He said to somebody — in his solo band, I believe — 'I never do this for anybody,' do a guest appearance on somebody's album. 'But I'll do it for Graham.'' And for Rob.

    Iron Maiden Album Art Showdown

    Considering the theme of Lord Of The Flies, the single cover should have been epic (more fitting than Man On The Edge). They made 3 different covers for Virus just a year later after all. The art approach for (especially) FOTD and TXF albums was odd. And for the former they even had additional...

    Iron Maiden Album Art Showdown

    I think it fits for both album arts, but cloud Eddie is perfect. They really should have made a noticeable sci-fi artwork for the live album from TFF tour. Not in comics style like the singles, but full-on fantasy. They same can be said for Live Chapter.

    Best performances of a song

    Wow, this is a brutal version of Icarus! Bruce sings it better than in 1997, AOB tour. Early 2000s voice, such power! The best version of his live vocals on this song. Studio quality indeed.

    Exactly. Touring is their favorite, but the best chance of a new album being recorded is in 2027. But what if Bruce likes more songs from the Blaze era, what about Flies? I doubt Man On The Edge, Futureal, yes. It seems like he decides to sing a song live not by how difficult it is vocally. A...

    NOW PLAYING

    Bloodbound - Field Of Swords The new album is quite solid as a whole piece, one of their strongest. Yes, the music is very samey, but it's effective, catchy and memorable. Power metal after all. This fusion style of Stratovarius and Nightwish. Good production. Patirk's voice is like a mix of...

    Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

    Such teaser would be appropriate for new music... ehhhhh. Something extra for the big Knebworth show. More bands (doubt), fun bonus stuff for fans, merch? A special artwork for the show would be nice. On this map we can spot pyramids and a tank- just hints for fun? edit: Maiden themed park...

    Bruce Dickinson

    They both need each other, but Steve wasn't that sure about Bruce's return, he said that. And if Bruce's solo albums were more commercially successful. But what, another new singer, breaking up. Adrian wanted a solo career along with Maiden, Bruce now yes, but back then he was the star. All in...

    Yes, that's why it's odd that 2027 will be a holiday, but maybe they need a break for the next chapter of the band, be it 5+ years. Let's hope future setlists will be more interesting, it's up to Bruce. And doing more tours, I think it will be with new album/s. A pure deep cuts tour is a wildest...

    Adrian Smith

    WTTW is an underrated album for its style. It seems like they didn't release 2 songs from the 1997 writing sessions and maybe Rain and Underground (the latter is great) are leftovers from the previous album. Iirc, a demo from that era was called ''Winter's Child''. Into The Black is Drop C...

    Iron Maiden Album Art Showdown

    This. BNW's face is timeless, like FOTD Eddie. If the city was a drawing (not CGI), I think it would have been even better. Still it's quite good. The two halves of the cover are done by two different artists. Unique fact. Btw, I want to see a full length of BNW Eddie, I really do.

    Iron Maiden Album Art Showdown

    It was used for a stage Eddie, but I wonder if this Wicker Man art could have been used as an album cover. Is it that strong or appropriate for the band? I guess so. It's better than Derek's one.

    I like the exact single cover of Different World better, more of Eddie is shown. The colors are cool in both.

    Maidenfans Best Albums of the Millennium: 2019

    The Great War - might be my favorite Sabaton album as a whole piece. I like all songs but one a lot! Crowned In Frost - Frozen Crown, old school power metal with nice vocals and ideas. It's enjoyable enough. The Eighth Mountain - Rhapsody Of Fire deserve a vote for the quality of their stuff and...

    Maidenfans Best Albums of the Millennium: 2018

    Firepower just smash the albums here. Everything clicked for the band with it, no fillers (only one weaker song)! Such albums are always special. One of Priest's best, no doubt. Blaze's Redemption is the most uneven one from the Trilogy and some of the songs are very short. 5 of the songs are...

    Iron Maiden Album Art Showdown

    Well said. Good remarks. Also, when it's the first compilation album, they/he should have added the other Eddies (SSOASS, TNOTB, FOTD, even TXF), a more developed background would have helped with that. Btw, I remember an interview with Derek from the 90s in which he mentioned having big art...
