DAWSON 1 YEAR ON

I am not sure anymore. There have been a few decisions recently where I would have said, ‘That is atypical, that is not Maiden.’
Do you think Nicko’s opinion of Simon’s performance is influencing Steve?

Do we have any public information about that? So far I've only seen Nicko say positive things about Simon, as well as a bit of bantering.

I think nobody apart from people here are against Simon being in the band. If anyone who havent listened to maiden before goes to an IM show would see a great band.

I don`t think it`s just people who haven`t listened to Maiden before who will see a great band. Anyone who likes Maiden will see a great band , just an older and understandably different version of the band. Just use a bit of common sense and a cut them a bit of slack when seeing them live now and all is good.

This. The internet is filled with people lamenting artists for not looking and sounding as well as they did 20, 30 or 40 years ago. It's ridiculous, because they somehow expect these people to be ageless and thus they don't view the artists through an appropriate lens.

That doesn't mean one have to put blinders on and pretend everything is awesome and that Axl Rose is kicking ass, but rather adopt a more pragmatic view.
