Hints collection thread for 2023

Well, the front of the Brazil event Tee is an even more evident hint than the back of the same shirt I would say... (btw... I LOVE THAT SHIRT and I REALLY HOPE they'll do something like a 24-hr-sale on that one, like they did before with the Scandinavian event shirt, after the Brazil shows will be through. I definitely need that one. My Maiden shirt collection gets bigger. I counted all my Maiden shirts yesterday, and it's 37... :D :nuts2: )

Most likely not playable, he would just improvise something different. However, that would require them to play The Man Who Would Be King, which would be awful. Most likely, yeah. The song is not that bad though - the drumming after the intro, Dave's solo and the amazing outro would be great...

Time will flow
And Hints will follow
Time will go
Bu Hints will follow...

Hints continue to pop up. At this point Wasted Years and Stranger In A Strange Land is in the pocket. What about Alexander? Bruce mentioned it, Nicko also. If it looks like a duck, if it walks like a duck... :D

Btw, about the writing credits, maybe it's a joke because one of Bruce's favorite Maiden albums is Killers.

Well, yeah, but he was not in the band during the recording of Killers, where as SiT was a completely different thing and Bruce most certainly wasn't too fond about it during the mid 90's anyway. It still probably isn't among his favourites, but I'm sure he has warmer feelings towards some individual songs on that record now.

That's the 2018 shirt unless I am mistaken.
 
It seems odd to me they are planning on doing a senjutsu themed tour with a set presumably dedicated to the album but all the hype around said tour is they may or may not be playing SIT songs.

So basically they are not backing there new songs as a selling point and think debuting Alexander or bringing back stranger will instead be enough for people to look past 6 new songs and pack out arenas based on what else is added

Odd marketing lol

I think this might be a symptom of the scheduling conflicts. Normally a band releases an album and goes on tour for it afterwards. This time they recorded an album, couldn't (or wouldn't) release it for years because of the pandemic and had to fullfil contractual agreements to finish LOTB. Because of that, there's quite a separation from the album's release (and even more from the recording of it) to the supporting tour.

I'm sure, if we hadn't had the pandemic, the prospect of touring the new album would be enough to create hype. Teasing playing songs from one of the "forgotten" albums, that has quite a few fan favorites on it, is not a bad strategy to create additional hype. Not sure if it's necessary, but I can certainly see how some people might find that more exciting than simply "Hey, we'll be touring Senjutsu, which came out quite a while ago".

^ This. It's odd, but let's not forget that Alexander The Great is the ultimate ''weapon'' for hype! :lol:

Everything is odd with Maiden marketing since they released album one year ago but they are still touring the same tour for last 4 years.

You know there's a reason for that. And the tour is 3 years. Edit: Besides, their original plan was the tour to have 3 legs anyway.

Sorry I wanted to get out of all these rumors, clues for a moment, my mental memory card is running out !! But I'm losing hope for Infinite Dreams and To Tame a Land so do you think some songs will be abandoned forever from the setlist? Dance of Death, Paschendale, Man on The Edge, Rime, 22 Acacia Avenue,Children etc are just some examples of an endless discography. Maybe if Alexander and Stranger aren't trolling us? I know it may seem like an idiotic question but sooner or later we should ask ourselves .. Will Maiden somehow surprise us? anyway cheers!

It’s funny how the guy comes with 3 long songs written in 3 lockdown days and the rest of the 5 or 6 years doesn’t write anything.

Do you have specific and reliable info on the way he wrote the songs? I'd be really interested. Btw, though, the songs were written and recorded before the covid crisis and the lockdowns.
