    Powerslave: Album Discussion

    FFS. Just look at how other bands have treated their classic live albums. UFO, Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple and Hawkwind. They all put out incredible boxsets. This is such a missed opportunity to put out a boxset to celebrate this iconic live album. Lame. Seriously lame.

    I go back and forth with Senjutsu. There are some days I think it is a great album and others where I just don’t get it. I still love Stratego, The Writing on the Wall, The Parchment and Hell on Earth. They are incredible tracks. The rest are hit and miss. Much like The Book of Souls, Senjutsu...

    Is there a particular reason why Senjutsu has dropped?

    Didn’t his son come up with the game ‘Laughing in the Hiding Bush?’

    Blaze Bayley

    I joined in 2003. My username was No More Tears. The ‘Blaze is the Messiah’ phrase was still going strong then.

    Blimey! That takes be back to the old days of the IMBB.

    Early start, early finish. Sounds like a win win to me.

    Bruce Dickinson

    I love the fact that the guitarists replicated the original solos as faithfully as they could. It reminds me of when my mates and I were growing up and we would transcribed classic solos note for note. What a great tribute to Davey and H.

    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    I am being a little sarcastic. Bruce is the main reason why the set lists have been better since 2016. 2011-2014 was a little stale IMO. As far as I am aware, he is the one behind the more interesting song inclusions.

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

    Good to see Jan using a Radial splitter as well. The man has good taste!

    it’s utterly baffling. He probably couldn’t be arsed to learn it considering he had to remember ATG, CSIT and SIASL.

    IRON MAIDEN: 'Infinite Dreams - The Official Visual History' Book Due In The Fall

    I don’t know how many times we have to drag up these recordings of Blaze being out of his depth. He took the job in the world’s greatest metal band (wouldn’t you if you were offered it?) and they did bugger all to accommodate his vocal range. You can’t slag someone off for doing their best in a...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2026

    Slow ticket sales are a result of the band not willing to change the show up one bit. I know some of my esteemed fellow board members are going again, but why would you pay more money to see a show that you have already seen? Fair play if you are up for that, but most fans will have caught them...

    I went to Florida Disney in August for two weeks. It was like being hugged by a hot bath for the whole holiday.

    Who got 'The X Factor'?

    Here’s how I sum up the left overs. Judgement Day Great energy and riff Terrible chorus and the verse is a bit shit too. Justice of the Peace A cool arrangement with a great post chorus Terrible lyrics I Live My Way Great arrangement Terrible singing and chorus I can see whey they were...

    I have to disagree with Nicko. I would take a cold Parisian winter over Florida’s humidity any day of the week (and yes, I have been to both!)

    18th Studio Album discussion

    They haven’t been in the studio as a band for nearly 7 years. I think that is pretty good evidence to suggest that they don’t have a particular desire to be in the studio together.

    18th Studio Album discussion

    I am repeating myself, but I am in the view that they should retire after this tour. I am not being a negative Norman, but I have my reasons. The band clearly have no desire to return to the studio. I believe that the reunion era songwriting tropes have been exhausted. Hell on Earth is probably...
