So, you're saying it'll only be 14 more years until Ruby XI? I can live with that
Thankfully, that will be bettered significantly a couple of years later with Brave New Ruby.

Someone just left a copy of Powerslave on one of the faux-Egyptian sphinxes that can be found on London's Embankment next to the Egyptian obelisk (not the Gaul one), Cleopatra's Needle.
Weather was probably dry that day, because the LP does not have a protective plastic cover (it is either that or the owner is quite careless with their record collection).

The ONLY way to buy it is CASH BUY.
That reminded me to the first lines of Thin Lizzy's Cold Sweat song (Great great song with legendary riff and guitar solo btw)
'…I put my money on the suitcase
and headed for the big race…'

This feels like something Maiden (or just Steve) could buy. Brand it with Maiden, pour Maiden beers on draft, play a gig whenever the fuck you want...
Decision is Rod's and Steve's thing. I think they should do it, it's a piece of music history.

Because we all know what happen to most concert halls that have been sold : they became supermarkets, parking lots or have been destroyed...
I don't want that for the Iron Maiden's birthplace.
That's why this sale shocked me. And I hope that Iron Maiden, or at least Steve Harris, will buy it to allow this pub to continue to exist.
In doing research on early Iron Maiden venues, it is shocking how many are just gone these days. Some are empty shells, some have been converted. There's one I can't find any evidence of existing anywhere. I get that it was 50 years ago, but I do think there is simply a lot of dead pubs in the UK and here's one more.
I don't think Steve or Rod will buy it. It's surely been offered to them quietly already.
I am just thrilled I was able to go to this historic bar with my friends once.

They could buy it and convert it in a Maiden official merchandise shop, t-shirts, posters, beers… or a west ham franchise shop LOL

Fans tend to overestimate the popularity a Maiden merchandising shop/museum would have. I bet Steve or Rod are not willing to lose money for nostalgia.
On a side note, I live close to London and I have never been interested in visiting those places where Maiden played at in the early days*. There’s so many more interesting things to do in the city!
* I have seen Status Quo and Deep Purple at the Hammersmith Odeon though. Does that count?

I don't think there's any future for a pub that can't stand on its own as a pub.

I think they bought a building to make a Hotel-Museum for Rock and Roll stars but I don't know if it works fine or not.
Music shop?

Basically like Eddie's Bar, which used to run in Portugal, and was owned by Steve.
How is it that you are complaining that Iron Maiden is a failing business, and then you actually suggest they open one of the most likely to fail businesses in the modern business climate?
