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.

Thanks!!!

I thought some of the band members were involved in it. For some reason I am thinking Adrian and Bruce.

 

[Aggelos]

* I have seen Status Quo and Deep Purple at the Hammersmith Odeon though. Does that count?

You know, if I could get a time machine I would go back to the 80s, buy a season ticket for Hammersmith and live the dream...

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

That's why a lot of these places had bands on in the first place, and why they're gone now.

IIRC, Nathalie (Adrian's wife) is heavily involved with it.

Sorry, if it was already posted. Interesting interview.

Spoiler

Steve is a Play Classics! Bruce Dickinson fan

 

[Randalf]

Referring to the interview above, I think it's kind of sweet how, over time, Bruce has softened up towards Somewhere in Time and has expressed, and is expressing, great enthusiasm towards songs like Stranger in a Strange Land and Alexander the Great and meanwhile Steve also confesses his love towards a Bruce Dickinson song that deals with his creative restrictions in Maiden and his "divorce" from the band.

Age & time softens up some rough edges, haha!

As we look to see the man of sorrows
Passing knowledge to those who don't know
As we watch all our friends passing over...

I just watched the prices of the rooms on Booking.eu (207 £ / night) and they are reasonable for a luxury hotel. These are not the 25000 euros for a night at the Plaza Athénée or Le Crillon in Paris.

Absolute rubbish.

We expected it, but it's still like a surprise. Just the remastered album and some new art, I'm cool. Pharaoh Eddie in full length! And Eddie inside the pyramid or something. Not made by Riggs, I guess. Well, at least it's something. I would have loved some leftovers, live stuff(? as usual, Hammersmith show?), even demos or something completely unexpected like ''Losfer Words'' with lyrics wow. They could have made a comic again, but we weren't expecting anything spectacular anyway. Edit: I guess they don't have such stuff (live stuff for sure have) in the vault.

I think they will do something for SSOASS, but I wonder if they will do for SIT.

Is all the same. No major motivating force to buy it

 

[Mosh]

This is a great vote with your wallet opportunity.

 

[Meliegree]

Yup.

I wasn't expecting anything great but even for me this is a let down. Oh well.

It would be great to get Powerslave with some additional content (demos maybe?) and / or materials. Hell, even with some gadget. But we well know that this would cost money.

 

[Ascendingthethrone]

FFS. This was the perfect opportunity for a LAD box set with all the Hammersmith and Long Beach nights. Fucking ridiculous.

 

[onurb]

I would prefer a re-release of those 2cd 90s castle version instead.

Thin Lizzy and UFO did it.
Maiden could do it 4 nights Long Beach and 4 nights Hammersmith
8 Discs Box Set

I have the UFO one. It’s amazing! There is also one for Space Ritual by Hawkwind.

Even though Powerslave is my least favourite of the ‘classic 5’, I would have definitely bought a box set from this era.

Here’s hoping they do it for LAD’s 40th next year.
