Following on from LooseCannon’s post above the other major factor in my opinion that stops a new album is the sheer scale of it all. What I mean is every Maiden album is a major event. It’s not like any regular band getting together and writing 10 songs and slapping them on an album. If all it...

My opinion is they’ll be a boxset announced towards the end of year along the lines of Eddies Archives 2. I really can’t see this meaning a new studio album. I’ve been saying for a while I really don’t think we’ll get another studio album, just a few more years of touring before the band slows...

I think part of the reason they are so busy touring and releasing new albums is money. Didn’t Biff lose his house in France a few years back and most of his possessions. I remember reading something about it. I doubt Saxon have made pots of cash over the years so Biff losing his home and all...

Fear of the dark all day long for me. Absolutely love the album and a definite top 5 album. Sometimes I wonder if it’s nostalgia and rose tinted glasses telling me it’s a great album as it was the first new release album for me as a maiden fan and at the time it was released I just listened to...

I saw priest on the tour with Saxon and Uriah heap and whilst Rob did sound decent and much better than I was expecting he certainly sounded miles away from what’s on the record. When I first listened to invincible shield and panic attack burst out of the speakers it sounded like a track lifted...

It’s funny but I see these sort of threads come up all the time. I do get how fans would want the band to sound more polished but the fact is Iron Maiden have paid their dues and from dance of death onwards they release albums sounding exactly how they want them to sound. No producer in the...

So you’re one of the wankers buying multiple copies. Hope the extra ones aren’t going on eBay to try and fleece someone.

:facepalm: There isn’t going to be a new album :p

these t-shirts look shit :facepalm: :bigsmile: I’ve no problem dropping some coin on something decent but who decided to put the most bog standard Maiden designs that have already been done to death on these stupid oversized throw back to the 1990’s and the grunge era style shirts.

I guess my opinion on a new album comes from being a fan of Iron Maidens since 1991. At the time I became a fan the current album out was NPFTD. My first new album release purchase was fear of the dark, my first live experience with the band was on the x-factor tour in 1995 and since then I’ve...

That is something cool but as much as I love Saxon I’ve never understood why wheels of steel is so revered. It’s a very good album don’t get me wrong but to me it’s got 3/4 amazing tracks and a lot of filler. If you compare it to other albums released in 1980 it doesn’t get a look in. I mean...

True, and I would have liked at least a couple more albums but at least when they did release an album during the reunion they went all in for each release. They created a new branding and marketing strategy for each album, released new merch and did proper album tours playing around 6/7 new...

That’s why I loved the nostalgia tours because you always knew a new album and album tour would follow plus I got to see a ton of songs played live on the nostalgia tours that I either hadn’t heard in a very long time or never before. To truly turn into a cabaret band, and Maiden could easily...

Unless a new album comes out I really doubt they’ll keep touring. They’ve always said they don’t want to be a cabaret band just playing the hits and since the reunion they’ve been very careful to find good themes as an excuse to go out and do a nostalgia tour in between new album tours. This...

A pipe dream I know but I’d love every single studio album to be released as a boxset similar to the Metallica ones. Just put everything in it they have based around each album, demos, live recordings and stick a blu ray in with any and all video footage they have laying around.

And I never said they’d stop playing. My thoughts are this will be the last iron maiden tour. They haven’t called it a farewell tour so they can leave the door open to the odd one off gig and maybe a few headline slots at festivals. With this tour and all other promotions heavily leaning on...

Yes I do. That’s why they chose the drummer they chose. They could have gone with the young buck Joe Lazarus or another more profile drummer. No, instead they’ve chosen a guy nearly as old as them who’s been playing with Steve for more than a decade. This was the obvious choice when a band...

I honestly think we won’t get a new Maiden album. I think most of the band are done. Not with music but they’ve been doing the Maiden thing for a long time now I just don’t think they have the interest in a new album. It’s not just writing a bunch of new songs it’s all the stuff that goes...

Your not wrong at all, just accept that people may disagree with your opinion.

I’ve got all the iron maiden compilation albums but a lot were bought just for the sake of completion for my collection. There not really worth playing, especially now when you can just make up a playlist. The best one for me is my 2disc CD of best of the beast. Mine is the digital book and...
