Someone made a calendar of the Maiden/side project related dates over this year and there was a sizeable gap early October through to end of November. While Bruce is out on tour through October in the US, and Steve starts BL tour end of November, Davey, H and Jan will be hopefully well rested -...

Confirmed: Davey is 100% sitting next to the Infinite Dreams book

It's been mentioned a few times that H does like to swap around a bit nowadays. But as the tour progresses, I assume he gravitates towards certain guitars a little more. The green Jackson he uses on the current tour has mostly been his No. 1 for not far off 10 years. But I think the hooligan...

Agree! As for content on the album - I'd love to see something like 10 tracks - 4 shorter (3-5 minutes) bangers, 4 proggy mid-length (6-8 minutes) and maybe two epic (10 minutes). I mean I'd be happy with anything, but I think the above would be a good mix

There's a small part of me that wants Maiden not to tour in 2026 at all. In the hopes that they can recuperate and write/record a new album - bear in mind they've been on back to back tours around the world since 2022. Or perhaps just a couple of dates in August/September to tease a new album...

For example, Steve would do a medley of all his bass-only intros and then yell football chants into the microphone, followed by Adrian just playing half of the Wasted Years riff and then letting the E & B strings ring out. (written with love & admiration of my two favourite musicians)

I think a lot of people here need to realize that as a whole Maiden are still performing at a very high calibre - not just compared to bands of the same age, but many heavy metal bands of younger age too. The issue with Bruce not reaching high notes on Aces or a few others? So fucking what The...

Fair enough - I like H's tone, it's 'chunky' while not being too dirty. But I think it varies a lot from where you're stood. I think his tone is great if you don't have the issues of a large arena to compromise it - so it could be his tone is fine but the translation through the PA has degraded...

I just found a video from Paris 19th July - of 2MTM - Adrian's guitar sounded fine. Could easily just depend on where you are in the venue. Or maybe you were there on the other night and it sounded worse?

This is a topic I've always been interested in - H's rhythmic variation on certain riffs. Wicker Man is the same. 2 Minutes original version on the record is pretty much all down-strokes, mainly sticking to the A and D strings, only really extending to a full power chord vibrato on the 'D-C-D...

Interest how often H chops and changes his guitars - wonder if the Hooligan will be back for another show - usually I think 'artwork' guitars are cheesy but I like the Hooligan one - although it was odd that he used it on TFP tour. Something nobody really ever mentions is the Ibanez Roadstar H...

Satch replacing Bruce on Aces High only, confirmed

Nearly as bad as the drummer that used to play with Vince Neil on his solo shows - Zoltan Chaney - sure it's entertainment value but in all honestly it gets very fucking tiring after 30 seconds of it.

I think Judas Be My Guide would have been great on SSOASS.. To me it sounds like a track Adrian would have sounded incredible on..

I think Kev's first three albums with Maiden were great, BNW, DOD and AMOLAD. They sound like a like a live band, but sonically the sound is still tight and punchy. Flight 666 was mixed by Kevin too and it is a great sounding live album.. But TFF, BOS and Senjutsu are all just a bit dry and...

Powerslave Piece of Mind Somewhere in Time Number of the Beast Seventh Son Brave New World A Matter of Life and Death Killers Iron Maiden Book of Souls Dance of Death Senjutsu Fear of the Dark Final Frontier No Prayer for the Dying X Factor Virtual XI However in my mind a lot of albums are...

Ironic that in LOTB tour with Where Eagles Dare, and probably previous tours, they reduce the pre-solo section quite a bit compared to the studio version (I'm sure of it anyway...). WED is quite a word song for Bruce and high too.. But they've reduced his breather time!

Davey is quietly lurking on this thread CONFIRMED

I'm sorry but have you ever listened to SSOASS studio version? haha! In all fairness it's likely the middle section has extended out a bit live purely out of them not really knowing when to come back in .. But the studio version does have 2.5 minutes roughly of it

I agree - I felt like moving to screens was a good indicator that they'll be doing more tours with the screens - and while within 1 tour leg it might be difficult to change a song (or they feel it best to keep the same setlist for fans' sake), they would easily be able to change songs and have...
