18th Studio Album discussion

[Kalata]

The Rock Candy interview - which for me is the best recent insight into Steve's thinking by far- trots out similar lines regarding having 'too many new ideas for one lifetime'.

As always with them, Steve, Bruce and Adrian. So, an important and one of the best interviews.

The question is whether he wants to push himself to develop them into finished ideas with Maiden. There, I agree with you, he doesn't seem to focused on that.

Now, yes, but in 2027 there is hope.

He event specifies how he has backed up his new ideas, semi-ideas, etc.

That's optimistic, right, he won't backed up them if he has no intention to finish them sooner rather than later.?

New interview with Nicko, mostly restaurant talk, but at around 8:45 he talks about the possibility of being asked to do a couple songs on a new album (while also reiterating that there are currently no plans for an 18th album, though that could change). Also mentions his role "in the band" these days near that time stamp.

He said there are no plans for a new album yet (maybe after next year's tour they'll start thinking about it), but I like how he added that this could change. Him being not sure if he'll be asked to play on a couple of songs is kind of odd, considering they said he's still part of the band. Mostly fan club work?

Nicko is going to dress up as Eddie and will be on the cover of the album.

But what would you expect Nicko to say when he is asked this question?
He will and can not confirm that they are planning a new album. He also can not answer that he doesn't know anything. After talking about being still a member of the band that would also be odd.
So saying there are no plans is the only option. It is always possible to claim later the planning started after this interview.

I think we shouldn't take remarks like that too seriously or literally. We have to read between the lines more if we want to find out something.

I'm sure they wil record at least another album, but I hope he won't be involved. If he can no more practise at the higher level, I don't see the point, it would be rude for Simon, and it would alter the record's coherence. I understand the "he is still a member of the band" stuff to preserve his ego, but that shouldn't go too far.
