    The Future Past Tour 2024

    Let your bald head shine proudly as a beacon of manhood which will guide lost souls in their way through life. And save lots of money from not having to buy shampoo in the process!

    Bruce Dickinson

    Which feels weird that he didn't do it before. Bruce's writing feels very well suited for comics. I do have to wonder how would the world react if he'd released something like the Iffy Boatrace book these days. I remember reading it when I was 14 or something like that and feeling a great sense...

    Bruce Dickinson

    Bruce should've just written a plot outline and let someone write the proper story, plenty of celebrity backed comics work like that.

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    Having to run across the stage to get the drapery ready for the next song must be great cardio!

    Dream Theater

    Nothing against you, but save for the recent stuff about MP rejoining, your post reads like the same kind of discussions held in DT fan forums I've been since at least '05.

    Bruce Dickinson

    Well I've never even heard of Z2 and I am very much into comics. For the looks of it, they are one of those publishers like IDW or Boom which thrive off umbrella type marketing. In this case, they want Maiden fans to buy their comics because they fully know they are going to buy it because Bruce...

    Is Bruce Bruce painting on his hairline?

    Simon Dawson is the new drummer

    Face In The Sand is a very good song imo. The double bass drum was probably unnecessary but I think it adds to the urgency of the song. It's very upfront in this mix but I like how it makes the keyboards sound like mellotron a bit.

    The one I attended... because I was there to see it :cool:

    Nicko McBrain retires

    The second leg is probably already booked, and they are being very diplomatic with making it seem like Simon is more of a hired gun than an actual member. My guess is that Nicko won't play with Maiden live or in the studio ever again, but they dont want to upset the fanbase and with good reason...

    Simon Dawson is the new drummer

    They could probably alter the setlist yes, but that's also on the rest of the band, who aren't getting any younger.

    Simon Dawson is the new drummer

    That's something that's bothering me, people talk of Simon as if he's come out of nowhere. He's been in the business almost as long as Maiden has. He has a session musician type profile, but, if anything, that's the sort of guy you want for your band, because session guys can sit and play...

    Nicko McBrain retires

    The rhythm section here sounds a bit robotic, but it makes a wild difference to have someone who can actually sign to perform the backing vocals for you: If only Mr Harris would let him do this sort of thing again...

    Simon Dawson is the new drummer

    Yeah, holograms of them like that thing Kiss wants to do.

    Simon Dawson is the new drummer

    Letting Joe Lazarus join the band means he'd be cashing on the fame of being the last surviving Iron Maiden member. Steve Harris probably doesn't want that.

    Put your initial thought after your first listen to the Senjutsu album to one sentence please.

    Make it like Transatlantic's The Whirlwind, the entire 72 minutes album is just one song!

    Put your initial thought after your first listen to the Senjutsu album to one sentence please.

    There's two tracks under 5 minutes and two other under 8 minutes which for contemporary Maiden is quite short. They're a prog band now. :p

    When did The Trooper become Maiden's de facto big hit?

    It's more record company ploys. We'd have to see if the sales required to get to number 1 are represented by copies that are sold or shipped, in the video game industry companies are using the latter and making it pass as the former, which is why the figures they give are too round to be...

    When did The Trooper become Maiden's de facto big hit?

    Take a look at this site: https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/23494/iron-maiden/ Singles for TNOTB and POM did well for a metal band. However the popularity of singles Maiden exploded again with Seventh Son's release, which speaks of the quality of the album but also it might've been due to...

    Dance of Death DVD Audio

    What would be the definitive version? The original is really rough sounding, but the 2015 remaster isn't particularly better imo. It sounds clearer yes but it has the secondary effect of highlighting how fake sounding the keyboard strings are. And, much like the other 2015 albums, it sounds very...
