There's no issue with criticizing Bruce about his shortcomings or hypocrisy or whatever you find worth criticizing. Mocking his wife is in bad taste though and has nothing to do with Bruce's politics or views. That's just not-so-thinly veiled misogyny, in my opinion.
Oh come on.
It's one thing to make fun of the anecdote about her loving Sonata and how Bruce talked about that, but it's hard for me to see the constant circling back to her and bringing her up, as well as the mocking of her appearance and use of filters in a different light. Some of the comments here could be straight out of tabloid trash and I don't see the value in them.
Bullshit. She is mocked as well and the fact that some posters keep bringing her up and have this urge to make fun of her (and the filters/photoshop) in a thread about Bruce says more than enough. If people want to gossip I can't stop them, but it's gotten a bit ridiculous.
Some posters here have a parasocial relationship with Bruce that has apparently gone sour for whatever reason. Why anyone would care what his wife says or looks like is beyond me.
It's no surprise that they recorded the London show:

Shadow, Ragnarok, Wounds, Resurrection Men, Eternity (ofc) are all quality songs with quality ideas.Shame about the quality of the project though.
I treat Mandrake as the last 2ish decades of Bruce ideas that never got to come to fruition due to Maiden, cancer, or otherwise.It's no surprise that they recorded the London show:

Maiden's approach of a video release with songs from multiple shows?

(Although he probably won't understand it, if he hears it in the first place).
I agree with what you said here. And yeah, those slower/acoustic ideas on all his solo albums could have been his rejected SIT material.
The songs work great live. ^I expressed a similar opinion about Bruce's focus (in a way) after the release of the album and its lack of some ideas. It was a must for him to tour again for his great solo work.
How many songs out of the usual 16 do you think the set will be for those non-headlining festival shows? 10 maybe.
Roy probably drinks and/or carouses when he’s on tour, and his wife vetoed his participation. That’s the simplest explanation that lines up with the available evidence, but it’s just speculation on my part.
