    It’s sad that so many of the old studios are going. The problem is that they are surplus to requirement.

    Blaze Bayley

    It is a cracking version of the song. I think the pandemic helped propel the song higher!

    Bruce Dickinson

    Maybe he is splitting it between festivals in the summer and own shows in the winter? I’m not sure. To be honest, I had never trusted Bruce with dates. He says in the interview that they first recorded in Jersey in 1981 for Piece of Mind…

    Bruce Dickinson

    If his solo album is released next year surely it makes sense to tour it next year. I have edited my initial post of I was not clear.

    Iron Maiden - inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame

    To be fair, the whole concept of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a bit wanky. Too much ego.

    Iron Maiden - inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame

    If the band are not going to be there, Blaze could do an unaccompanied version of Fortunes of War.

    Favorite post-80's Maiden album opener?

    The Sign of the Cross is my favourite song but The Wicker Man is the best opener. I have always had a soft spot for Wildest Dreams, Different World and The Final Frontier. They are not the greatest songs, but they are great openers.

    I am supremely jealous that you are just casually chatting about Maiden’s epics in the clip! What a topic to talk about. I wild have gone on a long spiel about Sign of the Cross.

    One thing that I don't understand (reunion vs. 1980s & early 90s)

    Bands change and so does their sound. Personally I do not miss the guitar harmonies that much. I internally roll my eyes every time I hear a metal band do a song with a unison guitar melody for four bars and then four bars in harmony. It so cliched at this point. It’s almost as annoying as...

    News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

    This comment reminds me of the best ‘heckle’ I ever heard at a gig. It was during Bruce Springsteen in Hyde Park 2009. There were two Americans behind me. One shouted ‘Woooo music!’ The other then shouted ‘Wooooo concert!’ I still chuckle to this day thinking about it.

    News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

    I heard Eddfest being advertised on Planet Rock today. I can’t recall hearing a Maiden tour being advertised on there before, as the UK shows generally sell out quite quick. Poor ticket sales?

    I went to the cinema for a morning showing of a Bluey film with my daughter. Baring in mind it’s the Easter holidays, the cinema was empty. It was just two of us. People are just not going to the cinema as much as they used to. I would say 20 people for a documentary about a band is pretty good.

    Rant Thread

    I was furious today with some random bloke in a car park. I got out the the car with my wife, daughter and mum (dad went off to park the car). As we were getting out, this guy came up too close behind us. I thanked him and moved for the side which was an empty car parking space. He then...
