It's not official. Maiden didn't update the Bruce Book Tour section yet. Next week he will be in Malta. I hope someone ask him about the new Maiden and solo albums.
But not a new book ...
I didn't mean you.I don't complain, I just following his track.
Because it's a total waste of time. You don't need to promote a book two years after its release.
It's not like he tours it for several months at the time. How many book shows has he done this year? Five? He is only "wasting" his own spare time.Because it's a total waste of time. You don't need to promote a book two years after its release.
I'm not complaining, I just think that having the longest book launch in the history of the printed word is taking the mick a bit, that's all.Why do people seem to complain that Bruce does book tour dates?
This.You don't need to promote a book two years after its release.
He's obviously looking at having a conference speaking career, and this fits in with that. It's no more promoting the book than the man in the moon. The book is just the excuse.
There's probably good money in it too. The venue in Dublin holds 2,000! I can't see them getting anywhere near that, but the promoter must be paying a nice sum if he needs to book a venue that size over smaller venues.
If we were to assume that the promoter would break even selling 1000 tickets (a reasonable estimate based on what I know about the business), that would suggest a fee of 35000€. That is good money (not that all of it would go to Bruce), but probably much less than what he gets at each Maiden gig...
He'd be a fool to turn down such money for a nights work. As would anyone.
Being interested in Bruce's views is beyond me, frankly.
