    Exactly! Agree with this too. Thankfully elitist fans are a lot fewer in numbers and I’ve also met some really cool people who’ve dedicated their lives to Maiden. Ok so I still find it a bit strange when someone has so little going on in their life that they dedicate their lives to listening...

    Not really, it was just an opinion. Just find her and some of the guys on the channel very irritating. I watched her review of the run for your lives tour and it was just a complete pile of shit talk to me. I rember her from the official FC forum when I used to post there. She was part of a...

    Your Maiden collection, what's in it?

    The best versions of the albums up to fear of the dark definitely aren’t the 1998 remasters: I’d say the castle 2 disc versions are the absolute best. Then I’d take the original recordings and then the 2015 remasters ahead of the 1998 versions.

    Rubbish. I’ve tried this channel and find cap Harris massively irritating plus think she talks a load of shit too.

    If they do a part 2 of the RFYL tour keeping a few classic era songs and throw in a bunch of reunion era songs that makes total sense to me. Keeps the maiden touring machine going with a similar but different theme. Now they’ve got the big screens it’s easy to change the stage design, just get...

    The thing with a new album is that IF they do release another one then it would 100% be there last ever album. It’s already been 6 years since they recorded Senjutsu and with no new album on the cards at the moment then if we did get one it would probably not be for at least another 2 years...

    I don’t think it’s weird at all. When Nicko announced he was stepping away from touring the run for your lives tour had likely already been booked and contracts signed and money had been paid. Also it’s easy for me to believe that Steve and the rest of the guys probably all sat down and said...

    Following on from LooseCannon’s post above the other major factor in my opinion that stops a new album is the sheer scale of it all. What I mean is every Maiden album is a major event. It’s not like any regular band getting together and writing 10 songs and slapping them on an album. If all it...

    My opinion is they’ll be a boxset announced towards the end of year along the lines of Eddies Archives 2. I really can’t see this meaning a new studio album. I’ve been saying for a while I really don’t think we’ll get another studio album, just a few more years of touring before the band slows...

    Saxon

    I think part of the reason they are so busy touring and releasing new albums is money. Didn’t Biff lose his house in France a few years back and most of his possessions. I remember reading something about it. I doubt Saxon have made pots of cash over the years so Biff losing his home and all...

    Fear Of The Dark Vs. The Book Of Souls

    Fear of the dark all day long for me. Absolutely love the album and a definite top 5 album. Sometimes I wonder if it’s nostalgia and rose tinted glasses telling me it’s a great album as it was the first new release album for me as a maiden fan and at the time it was released I just listened to...

    Kevin Shirley - What do you dislike about his work with Maiden? (if you do)

    I saw priest on the tour with Saxon and Uriah heap and whilst Rob did sound decent and much better than I was expecting he certainly sounded miles away from what’s on the record. When I first listened to invincible shield and panic attack burst out of the speakers it sounded like a track lifted...

    Kevin Shirley - What do you dislike about his work with Maiden? (if you do)

    It’s funny but I see these sort of threads come up all the time. I do get how fans would want the band to sound more polished but the fact is Iron Maiden have paid their dues and from dance of death onwards they release albums sounding exactly how they want them to sound. No producer in the...

    So you’re one of the wankers buying multiple copies. Hope the extra ones aren’t going on eBay to try and fleece someone.

    these t-shirts look shit :facepalm: :bigsmile: I’ve no problem dropping some coin on something decent but who decided to put the most bog standard Maiden designs that have already been done to death on these stupid oversized throw back to the 1990’s and the grunge era style shirts.

    I guess my opinion on a new album comes from being a fan of Iron Maidens since 1991. At the time I became a fan the current album out was NPFTD. My first new album release purchase was fear of the dark, my first live experience with the band was on the x-factor tour in 1995 and since then I’ve...

    That is something cool but as much as I love Saxon I’ve never understood why wheels of steel is so revered. It’s a very good album don’t get me wrong but to me it’s got 3/4 amazing tracks and a lot of filler. If you compare it to other albums released in 1980 it doesn’t get a look in. I mean...

    True, and I would have liked at least a couple more albums but at least when they did release an album during the reunion they went all in for each release. They created a new branding and marketing strategy for each album, released new merch and did proper album tours playing around 6/7 new...
