News 18th Studio Album discussion

From that interview...

Steve: “I think it’ll be an event. There’s the exhibition [the Infinite Dreams Experience]. And we’ve talked about different things relating to the songs, which I don’t want to give too much away about. But it’s the same old thing – you talk about stuff, and then you have to actually put it into practice. You just hope it’s all going to work out. It usually does, but you never know, haha.’


My theory/dream that they will do Running Free at Knebworth with special guests is alive and well, yee haw!
Never mind, I just read more and Steve and Bruce both say there's no plan to get anyone onstage. It's 'cheesy' apparently. Booooo!

But then what does Steve mean about doing "things with the songs" at Knebworth? Hmmmmmm. The dream lives on, methinks.

Also, the Bruce/Nicko 'spat' lives on. He says there's no plans to get Nicko up to "play 3 drums." Buuurrrrrrn. Our Nick would back himself to play the whole kit for Running Free, I'd wager.
 
Ah, this time of the month when the speculation and overanalysis swings towards "Yes, I think there will be another album, just hear me out bro..."

Never doubted the new album and probably never will, modified Bruce quote courtesy of A Real Dead One.
 
Any plans to start work on a new Maiden album?

Bruce:
“Would I like to do a new Iron Maiden album now? Yes. Would I like to do one starting next year? Yes. So over to you, Steve.”

Steve: “No. We haven’t had a band discussion about it yet. I know Bruce wants to do one. He said in an interview that I didn’t want to do one, which is not true. When he told me about it, I just said, ‘Yeah, maybe, we’ll see.’ At the moment it’s more important that we focus on playing live. Plus, Bruce is doing stuff with his solo project next year, so we’ll see.


Idk why, I guess it's because of Steve's wording (the: maybe, we'll see, focus now, mentions Bruce's tour), but I'm much more optimistic about a new album. And maybe Bruce is teasing with this ''starting next year'', the perfect timeframe, he knows his solo dates. If Adrian wants to write new songs (he said he likes to be creative), Steve doesn't even have to talk (to say) to the other band members - I mean, I doubt Janick wouldn't want, Dave writes 1 song, and Simon would love it.
