With the new album all but confirmed to be announced within the next week or so, I thought it would be fun to play the prediction game for what could very well be the last time for us Maiden fans. The idea is this: predict as much information as you can about the new Maiden album. Since Maiden tends to follow certain formulas, I imagine someone here is going to get pretty close to what actually gets released. Try to be realistic. Rather than fantasy land nonsense about how you want Maiden to release a 10 CD set with a 30 minute epic written by Nicko McBrain, use your knowledge of Maiden to “predict” their next album. Here are the categories:
ALBUM TITLE:
ALBUM LENGTH:
ALBUM COVER ARTIST:
NUMBER OF SONGS:
LONGEST SONG:
SHORTEST SONG:
WRITING CREDITS (how many songs will be written by each member or combination of members?):
GUITARIST WITH MOST SOLOS:
NUMBER OF SONGS WITH TITLE REPEATED IN CHORUS:
NUMBER OF SONGS WITH TITLES LIFTED FROM OTHER MEMBERS’ SOLO CAREERS (bonus for predicting which specific songs):
The Winner will receive the grand prize of eternal forum glory and one (1) emoji reaction of my choosing.
Runner ups will receive one (1) liked post each.
Good luck!
Here is mine:
Edit: I am also open to people making their own prop bets.
