I have a feeling what will be announced soon are not the initial plans. It made so much sense to believe world tour 2025/2026 meants shows in Europe in 2025, then the rest. I believe that there is something that has changed in the meantime.

I think when the tour was first announced, we all believed that the first leg would be Europe, the second leg the rest of the world. Now all the ticket sites preparing and the rumours about the European festivals, that seems to be wrong, surprisingly.

It is a convention about horror movies in California, correct? I don't fully understand it. Bruce has a connection to horror movies but Nicko? Because there is a video with Nicko in that awful movie "Girls gone dead" from 2012?

I really feel a bit sorry for Nicko. Why is Bruce worth more? I thought Nicko is the good-looking one. I have never paid for my photos with musicians or other celebreties, so I don't know if this is always so expensive. A photo with the complete band Iron Maiden is something I don't have yet...

That is almost the complete show in Fort Lauderdale:

He looks scared.

:bigsmile: I am afraid we need a bit more sly plan here. But at least Bruce lets us always know lately where to complain if we don't like some decisions, like Sonata, rare Maiden songs... :bigsmile:

Aggreed. I wonder if this is really logical. Yes, Bruce is very energetic, but also Maiden. You could see it on stage, but Bruce also confirmed in an interview that they had much fun on tour. It is still assumed that Maiden will soon slow down and retire, while Bruce is just getting started...

Not in public. Not when there are not only friends, but people who could misunderstand how we mean it.

Nicko had a dig at Bruce, and now Bruce had a dig at Nicko. But we have to believe that there is nothing but jokes, love and compliments. A completely obvious, public dispute is highly unlikely to happen in this day. (Even though something like that did happen in the past with former members.)

I think it is taste. I was surprised how much I liked the lower tuning.

Janick seems a little less physically fit than on previous tours. For reasons we cannot diagnose from afar This is noticeable in videos and even when you only see him in photos. This has nothing to do with the atmosphere in the band.

But artists are often inspired by artists they like themselves, and you can recognise the influence in their new work.

I personally find it worrying that Bruce thinks Ghost is so great (regards new songs solo and for Maiden).

Perhaps the reasonable assumption is not that everything was consensual and positive. But that we will never know the complete truth. Unless we plant a spy from this forum among the members. :devil2: (Just a joke.)

I would be surprised if this were one of the very few cases where everything is so clear and simple. It hardly ever happens. And yes, I know, it is the Black British humour where you compliment each other by pointing out each others mistakes. But for me, it would make much more sense to think...

Maybe Nicko thought it would be handled differsntly and will therefore now always give very "funny" interviews?

Mandrake sounds to me like it was finished too hurriedly. I hope he will not make the same mistake again, now that he already releases a new album in 2027 again.

Then maybe there are feelings somewhere in Nicko that prevented him from coming across as just witty and light-hearted? I am a bit sceptical to just say there in fact is nothing when so many people perceived it in a certain way. At least when these people all know and like the person that spoke.
