Some curious info from Nicko: It seems that the 3rd leg of LOTB and TFP tours weren't originally planned, it would have been SJ album tour for over 2 years. Maybe playing the whole album at first. He said this is not likely the end, but everyone is catching up his age. The year off is good for...

Interestingly, Nicko said he wanted to retire after the original SJ tour and only spoke to Dave about it. It seems the 50th anniv celebrations were already planned in 2018/2019. He spoke to Bruce last December and asked him about new album - and Bruce said he wants to do, but not sure about the...

More new skills in the studio for Bruce: he apparently played the cowbell on the new album (after taiko drums, and bongos on the previous one). Let Dave have more fun, Bruce. The song in the caption with the post is Inside The Machine, a strong Skunkworks-esque song on the album (more so than...

https://www.instagram.com/naslundmusic/p/DVLw3_2DAb3/ Philip with some photos from the studio. Gibson guitars, 7 strings, acoustic.

To me the wording is like a wish to continue when 2028 is mentioned. Yeah, the plans may not be decided yet, but we know they prepare tours in advance, so 2028 should be on their minds (plus studio plans). Maybe Dave (or Janick) needs a year off to continue (let's hope no more changes), they've...

Interview with Steve from 1996 where he talks about all albums. I've never seen it before.

Irritant - Voice Of The Siren This band didn't make it? One of the best early-to-mid 2000s songs, combining classic metal melodies and ''nu style'' vocals. So nostalgic. No wonder Dave likes the tone, that instrumental section is pure gold. Could have been great as a part of a Maiden song.

Finally, 2 weeks before the start of the tour (and before announcing the final dates for the tour). Let's hope it's interesting (rare stuff and footage, full songs?) and with a good representation. ''Burning Ambition'' as a title, fitting and yet surprising that it's not tied to the tour or a...

Crimson Glory with a new album in 26 years. The title track, curious cover: I don't think the vocal ideas are that interesting (they work well enough, especially the verses), but the music is very solid. Riffs and harmony!

For me it's probably NPOTR Eddie, even for its time (it was like from the 80s).

We are asking for more short songs per album (3-4, 2-3 epics, the rest 5-8 minutes), not to abandon the epics. A shorter song can feel more like a filler/weaker than an epic, at least with Maiden. This. A mistake, it could have been a fun short song. I wouldn't call it safer, I don't think...

Hat! Happy to see Bruce agreed to play with SK. The downtuning is curious and noticeable, Bruce sounds very solid and this isn't after 2 hours of singing beforehand. This should be right after the recordings of his solo album.

New song/single (written during the latest album sessions, it shows; I like that they released an art for it, like the ones in the booklet). I dig it, it could and probably should have been on the album (in Scream's place, for example). It's a groovy and mid-tempo standard rocker from them...

Bruce rocking the wizard look! No video for TM? Both TM and SW remixes at once, not physical releases like BTP? Bruce is really proud of the latter (better mix for the next tour is expected), I think he means ''advanced album'' for his metal side. I wonder if they will play more songs from them...

It's a wow yeah. I was curious and read the thread and one person mentions that Richie seemed unhappy with Adrian's mistakes, during Wasted Years too. Mistakes? Adrian having some ''issues'' with it again, I noticed he plays the intro riff with some pauses. Yes, a little change from the...

This Faithkeepers tour is curious (not the name) and has a mysterious art (only DOFT connection from their discography, they like to celebrate albums annivs). I doubt that's the name of their next album, even if most of the songs are ready, but who knows. The tour poster art (btw, the picture...

Yeah. For the studio it's possible (not for Bruce though, he's ready for something new; Steve?), and in general. Still, 2030 should be their goal. This. This is so wrong. They could easily combine RFYL Part 2 with a new album and some rare songs. Be a tour for the fans like TFP. The question...

Video teaser for the EddFest. Looks cool if it's built like this. SIT walk-on Eddie? The museum stuff? RFYL Eddie looks really good. And some fans praise (and cool footage) for the new stage show.

It's nice to know that Dave didn't just use the Dean V for 1 tour. It was used for Trooper right, I mean during WST outings. Nice trivia.

Off the top of my head: Iron Maiden - ''Aces High''/''Caught Somewhere In Time''/''Alexander The Great''/''Different World''/''Darkest Hour''(Adrian)/''Prowler''(Dave)/''The Alchemist''(Janick) - memorable solos. Bruce Dickinson - ''Tears Of The Dragon'' - one of the best structured solos...
