News 18th Studio Album discussion

[Poto]

Who knows if Simon has a say beyond "are you in or out?"

Imagine if he was the one who vetoed it.

Nah, fuck you guys, I want to go on tour with British Lion

I think Adrian and Bruce definitely fancy a break. Not from music but from Maiden.

Bruce is definitely buzzed again about his solo career and Adrian has other stuff to do so I reckon they both voted to take time off. Dave definitely voted as he likely wants to spend time with his family and Simon I suspect doesn’t get a vote.

Leaving just Steve and Janick and I bet Janick was in the fence and would be happy with either decision leaving Steve out voted.

No way. Bruce wanted to record a new Iron Maiden album and never wants to take a break from anything. The more there is to do, the better in his world. And what would Adrian have to do? A short tour with SK for 1–2 months and then spend 10–11 months writing a new album?
No, I don't believe Steve.
We can’t take these interviews at face value and assume that what’s said is necessarily the truth. There might be something else behind it.

If I had to guess it's Dave and Janick who want a break.

That makes sense. And then it would be 2 votes to 4 votes.

Rod vetoed it because Maiden aren't selling out their tours. He's a man of high standards and clearly embarrassed by such a disappointing performance.

Isnt bruce going to tour next year?. Definetly Dave is the one who wants a year off. I see after the gigs and reahersals he doesnt touch the guitar at all. There were years that his solos were really nothing close to the album and a lor of "guitarrist tricks" to go trough the solo.

Maybe it was Rod who wanted the break since he is stressed out administrating all the money.

Started some time in the 2010s and up to 2019. He sounded much more focused and inspired after the pandemic.
