18th Studio Album discussion

Back on topic: we are three days away from that UK metal hammer feature on Maiden. Maybe there’s no grand announcement yet but some clarity on next years plans is surely coming as soon as this week.

X Factor. Horrible prododuction, way to long album and a lot of boring "sad" songs from Steve

Amazing songs:
Sign of the Cross

Good songs:
Lord of the Flies
Man of the Edge
Blood on the Worlds Hands
Edge of Darkness

Shit songs:
Fortunes of War
Look for the Truth
Aftermath
Judgement of Heaven
2AM
Unbeliever

Virtual X1. Better production, shorter and not as bloated, more fun, but a bored and uninspired Nicko

Amazing songs:
Clansman

Good songs:
Futureal
Lightning Strikes Twice
When to Worlds Collide
Educated Fool
Como Estais Amigos

Shit songs:
Angel and the Gambler
Dont look to the Eyes of a Stranger

Aftermath a shit song? I cant agree

It was on last Saturday night, a selection of songs from Flight 666 for an hour, and then the documentary part of Flight 666 after it

Something is brewing (no pun intended, as I hope it is not another beer!).

While watching Flight 666 again i noticed a couple of comments from band members about being `old men` and how amazed they were to be still doing tours of that size in 2008.
Look at them now, really old men i guess is there take now and still doing huge tours in 2025, amazing really . It only went to consolidate the thought i want to catch them every year they play live if i can now until they are done.

You haven’t felt the power of heavy metal until you’ve seen a room of grown men cry | Mike Watson

Here in metal-mad Finland, I see the 50-year-old genre is still in rude health – and helping people see the light in dark times, says Mike Watson, media and art theorist based in Finland

Same here. Even if they´re not coming to Belgium I´m planning to travel to see them.

Same, we will travel to catch them if we can if the UK has no dates. I hope they announce soon as my wife is keen to get some idea what the 2026 holiday plans look like!
