That's a logical interpretation too, so we'll see... Given Bruce's earlier output and the recent Balls to Picasso reimagining, however I'm quite confident that they want the album to sound sonically great too and there will be some polishing touches etc. But yeah, it remains to be seen!

Yeah, it's not that Nicko would be totally unfit to record a new Maiden album and make the drums sound good, but I wonder if the band would really want that after getting to know & play with Simon for the two parts of RUN FOR YOUR LIVES tour (at the end of the 2026 leg). Not saying they'd have...

Is it though? Recording "live" in the sense of having everyone in the same studio, at the same time, isn't anything new to Bruce or Maiden, nor is it exclusive to No Prayer for the Dying. I understood Bruce's words as doing what is essentially a band album, instead of putting lots of...

Very likely indeed. Bruce already hinted at coming back to North America next year with his "day job" or something like that in the last Mandrake Project tour show, so... They'll probably announce something soon enough.

I agree. It kind of reminds me of how much more Bruce has been out there talking about Maiden (well, marketing Maiden) from 2015 onwards and has, to some extent, been seemingly lot more upfront with a lot of things. Like, he didn't do nearly as much interviews and such promo before The Book of...

It makes the speculation about a very 2022 kind of a tour schedule seem very plausible.

Or how about Daves Of Future Past tour? :D

Mmh, while I personally wouldn't trade any track from the current set (excluding Frankenstein cover) to a Tattooed Millionaire track, I admit that doing something like Born in '58 in the encore would be fun to see. But yeah, I understand the disappointment, although I personally don't mind (and...

Yeah. Bruce has had a big say in the Maiden setlists for a long time now and while RUN FOR YOUR LIVES theme kind of sets certain limits (=certain classics occupy majority of the set), I doubt that Bruce has even been too keen on including Flash of the Blade in Maiden sets... Like, he probably...

I can see your point, but if Bruce is playing one Maiden song in the set, I very much like that it's an extremely rare one. Of course it would be cool if Maiden did surprises like that, but... In the end, it's just one song in the set. They'll most likely do Revelations and possibly one other...

Yeah, I get why Accident of Birth is the established Bruce Dickinson set opener, but I think that Toltec 7 Arrival intro & Starchildren would work almost just as fine at that.

Great set. I fucking love the fact that this new era of Bruce doing solo material live est. 2024 came with The Alchemist. I certainly expected Bruce to return with his solo material at some point anyway, but I didn't dare to dream that they'd live debut The Alchemist in 2024, haha! One of the...

Not during one leg of the tour per se, but in 2008 they played in all the listed places! Of course using Ed-Force 1 for the first leg of the 2008 tour made it a lot more convenient schedulewise than it otherwise would've been.

True, true. Also, noticed that in the post I call the game "quite a Ture" (???) instead of "turd" as was intented, but oh well, gets the point across. :D phone keyboard word suggestions etc...

I love how almost every interview from that time makes Ed-Hunter sound so cool & epic adventure through the Maiden universe. Alas, the game ended up being quite a turd even in late 90's standards. To think that it came out around the same time as, e.g, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time... :D...

I might be a bit biased, but I'd say Helsinki was very strong one too, especially for Bruce; he was on his prime mode with Powerslave & Rime of the Ancient Mariner! ...okay, it probably doesn't really stand out from the rest, after all, but I still can't stop praising the pertormance of Mariner...

I think that the three most recent tours (LOTB-Future Past-RFYL) showcase that they actually aren't running out of ideas of how to brand tours that, essentially, cover a certain classic period, whether as a main focus of the show or just partially. That being said, I get what you mean; there...

Yeah, I mean Simon sure has a few hiccups every now and then and might have occasional challenges at keeping up with all the tempo changes, but it's notable how every single mistake or tempo-related complaint regarding their pertormance is often pointed out as Simon's fault, although he probably...

I agree that Mother of Mercy would've probably sounded a lot more dynamic & exciting live, but given that 2011 was one of Bruce's more inconsistent & weaker runs ever since 1999, I don't think the chorus would've sounded particularly strong... I mean yeah, he had some fantastic nights and a...

There already are :D Terrible setlist Worst Maiden setlist ever Damn, my "Terrible setlist" from 2021 got a bit close to reality with Iron Maiden & the game Eddie on screens... :D Intro: Transylvania & The Legacy of the Beast game trailer 1. The Number of the Beast 2. Wrathchild 3. New Beer...
