Thing is, “King in Crimson” has one of my all-time favorite solo sections so a part of me selfishly just wants to hear Roy and Adrian do it lol. But I think if Chris did Roy’s solo and Philip did H’s it could work. Chris seems more like a shredder whereas Philip is a bit more meticulous. Definitely excited to see where they go from here.
Same. I'm not a solo guy at all, so I barely noticed there was a lack of solos on TMP.Once again there's a point where we disagree: be it metal or any other genre all I want is to enjoy the songs (no matter if they feature ten solos each or none at all). But then again, it's all a matter of perspective and taste so to each his own.

On an unrelated note, just watched halfway through Night 2 at the Whiskey, and noticed they tagged on the original minute-plus Keith Olsen version intro to Tears of the Dragon. I'd say that's a decent hint that some of the extra guitar tracks Roy had laying around were from that intro (which likely got cut from Shay Baby's version to make it more single-worthy). So, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see that wind up on the new iteration of Balls to Picasso.
Question is, will we also get the weird little flute outro with Bruce mumbling over it?
I was only aware of him playing that solo at the beginning of Resurrection Men, was there anything else?
The outro I was mostly joking about. Almost guarantee that part's staying gone.
Face in the Mirror solo is Bruce
Know one thing my friend, it’s Bruce at the helm and it Roy’s solos weren’t as terrific as those on TOS, TCW or AOB, it’s cause of how Bruce wants to direct his music. I do hope we hear some shreds on the next record.

IRON MAIDEN’s BRUCE DICKINSON - “I Know What Maiden Are Doing In 2025 Which Is All Sort Of Top Secret At The Moment”
In a new interview with ABC Audio, legendary singer Bruce Dickinson opens up about his new album, The Mandrake Project, and how Iron Maiden are giving him space to promote it all around the world. “I know what Maiden are doing (in 2025), which is all sort of top secret...bravewords.com
It seems Maiden won't tour next year. At least not before september. That means a lot of things : a new album recorded by Iron Maiden on early 2025, then a U.S. and South American tour for Bruce Dickinson (and maybe some summer festival dates in Europe). Before releasing the new Iron Maiden masterpiece in september and going on stage for a new album tour.
I know this won’t happen but he needs to rotate the songs from TMP. Like Shadow of the Gods & Mistress of Mercy would be perfect additions
15 songs set, that's better. But I don't think the cover is needed. I guess he added an additional song because Navigate is not that difficult. I worry about the absence of Road To Hell again.
Exactly. Although, Shadow is a longer song, so it doesn't fit in the set as of now (an older song would need to be replaced).
