Of course it’s totally different. Every gig they do on the road they get paid for. They don’t get paid anything to sit in a recording studio for a few months writing and recording, in fact it costs them to do this.

I’m not American no. Whilst I understand it’s a big market the world does not start and end with the USA. My point stands, does Maiden at this point in their career, over 50 years since they started, need any more fans than they already have? Sure a few more fans won’t hurt but they’ve just...

I have been saying for a while that I don’t think they’ll be any new album and that the reason they’ll be taking 2027 off is to sit back and plan retirement. They’ll release some live stuff I’m sure from recent tours but as for a new album and a commitment to tour it I’ve always been a bit...

I honestly would have a ton of respect for the band if they snubbed it and never turned up to accept the award if they get it. Everyone knows the RRHOF is a joke the way they pick and choose who they want in there and no one who’s a proper music fan gives a toss about it. I mean, Maiden have...

Don’t think that’s how it works. I think the RRHOF just decides which members they feel were important to the development of the band. It’s all goal bollocks to me as if a band is inducted then every person who was in an officially released album should be in as they all contributed in some...

You’re right, I think Dennis Stratton is the only one who gives a shit about this. Funny thing is, nothing against Dennis but it could have been anyone else on the debut album and it would still sound exactly the same. He was just a bloke in the right place at the right time. No writing credits...

I’ve heard that Stepjan Juras (Maidencroatia) is supposedly in this documentary. Cannot stand that bloke. Apart from his nefarious background and history he always comes across as a total leach doing anything he can to get some attention in the Maiden community just to earn money. I’m...

I’ve never been a big fan of skunkworks but thought I’d give the new Dolby atmos version a go. It’s been so long since I listened to the album it was like listening to a brand new release lol. Have to say if you’ve got the set up this does sound very good indeed. Still not convinced the...

I don’t think this is the case. I see a lot of disdain online for NPFTD and FOTD but this seems to be mainly from fans in the USA. The rest of the world loves these albums. I’m from the uk and these albums were hugely successful here and in most of Europe too. NPFTD peaked at number 2 in the...

I think you have Saxon confused with your mum, who most definitely sucks :D It’s all a matter of opinion but I think Saxon are pretty great and Biff still sounds pretty good despite age and health issues. My point for bringing them up is simply down to how productive they are releasing albums...

Saxon have a new album out this year and Biff is 75 years old. Wish Maiden were as prolific as them with albums.

I like the last note, pretty decent song and fitting end to the Megadeth Legacy. Then the Bonus track kicks in to remind everyone, not that we needed reminding lol, of where Dave started. The RTL cover is very good in my opinion. Just wish he’d recorded it years ago as while his vocals are ok...

I would imagine if we ever see any other blaze songs in a maiden setlist it will likely be man on the edge or futureal and that’s it. Even that’s a bit of a stretch but the only likely candidates in my opinion.

They couldn’t even get a 50th anniversary documentary released in their 50th year. I mean, they’ve only had 50 years to plan and make it :facepalm:

After seeing them at Earl’s Court it was a surreal experience watching them in such a small venue. Like you said it was more like a club gig. My first experience of the band live was with blaze on the x-factor and VXI tours at the Brixton academy but when Bruce came back I was lucky enough to...

Yes I know, I did edit the post.

I’m pretty sure they have played this live. I’ll need to double check but back in 2000 when I was a member of the fan club there were two things I remember. First up the fc convention in London the day after the Earl’s Court gig. Last time I think the band ever attended one of these. Then there...

Well that’s a stupid reply as you’re quite right, if he decides he doesn’t feel like singing anymore then he shouldn’t. If a band doesn’t feel like making an album then they shouldn’t. It’s not up to the fans to decide what a band does or doesn’t do. Bands don’t owe their fans anything but a...

I was a fan long before BNW came out and I don’t remember many people bashing the production of the album at the time. To be fair I wasn’t very active on forums as 25 years ago the internet wasn’t as available as it is now and social media didn’t exist but amongst the fans I knew and spoke with...
