I don't know how I feel about this I wish they wouldn't do it

 

[LooseCannon]

I'm surprisingly okay with this.

 

[Ariana]

Sure. 1 April.

 

[Moon Child]

April Fools.

 

[Saapanael]

That album cover is almost a rival for Dance of Death.

 

[The Flash]

In before cabaret act

Posted a bit late in the day for April Fools really, but it clearly is... there's just no way.

If they were going to re-record those albums I would've expected it to be done around the Early Days period. It mentions they asked ("Derrick") Riggs for cover ideas - not for a cover, but for thoughts - and given that they don't particularly get along I can't see him sitting down for a friendly chat on what he thinks they should do without him doing it. Also an interview for an inflight magazine? lol.

Finally: "Nikko"

 

[Mosh]

That was pretty funny

 

[Rotam]

The third guitarist added: "The new album is going to slay everyone. I am so excited to be part of this. Paul would be proud!"

 

[Forostar]

Excellent

 

[Travis The Dragon]

That was too obvious but quite funny too!

 

[Perun]

A bit too over the top.

 

[Eric Wright]

That album cover is almost a rival for Dance of Death.

Whose album cover should have been an April Fool's Joke.

I love the Powerslave II cover

This fake cover almost equals the last albums' ugliness. Maiden's sleeves were really part of the fun in the 80's, now there are more a matter of worry. TFF is a joke, or maybe I'm getting too old for monsters.
