in 1999 instead of reuniting with Bruce and Adrian, what in your opinion would have been their lasting legacy on the world of music?
I don't think so. When one of them dies (it's sad but it must happen one day), I really can't imagine the bands paying tribute to them playing anything more recent than "Fear of the Dark", simply because there's no song afterwards that is as much unifying as anything from, say, Somewhere Back in Time (+ "FOTD" of course). Iron Maiden stays relevant thanks to their stage act and -business is business- to their merchandise (inspired from a strong visual identity to say the least), not thanks to their recent songs (apart, maybe, from "The Wicker Man" which could pass as an anthem).They'd be forgotten about now mainly
Speaking about Britpop, do you remember who Alex Dickson (who played with Bruce) went to play for after Skunkworks?I’m sure they would been held in high regard in the metal community and then pressurised into a reunion tour post the Britpop fashion crisis in the 90s..

Good memory! Actually, I quite like RW's career up to Intensive care.Wasn’t it Robbie Williams? It’s a bit like Morrissey’s old guitarist going to work with people like Rihanna, guess you can’t blame them as it’s easy money. Although selling out.
I'm sure you know Nuno Bettencourt did it with Rihanna too...It’s a bit like Morrissey’s old guitarist going to work with people like Rihanna, guess you can’t blame them as it’s easy money. Although selling out.

Anyway, wait till '52.
It's his job to play guitar. How is it selling out for someone to do his/her job if they have bills to pay and a family to look after?Although selling out.
This is what they just did over the last few months. No need to split and reunite for that!Maybe they would have pulled a Guns and Roses-like sensational reunion cabaret tour that would have broken the box office and set attendance records.
