Maybe the band want to play Aces and Bruce goes along with it even though he isn`t completely happy with it, just at thought on the whole Aces is all down to Bruce theme on here.Especially after such singer thinks he can still do Aces High justice.
I presume this is sarcasm as i have never had Bruce down as lazy.He probably couldn’t be arsed to learn it considering he had to remember ATG, CSIT and SIASL.
After this quote it seems to be obvious the 18th Maiden opus is in their plans.Bruce has said a new Maiden album is coming next year. “He’s always saying that,” laughs Steve. “I’m not ruling it out, but we haven’t discussed it properly. There’s no reason not to record another album but next year is going to be busy.”
Some interesting bits in that.

Illogical tour schedules frustrate him. “On our booking agent’s birthday, I sent her a dartboard, a map and a blindfold – a subtle hint.”
In the new Chris Jericho interview, Bruce clearly tries to shed personal responsibility for placing Aces in the encore.Maybe the band want to play Aces and Bruce goes along with it even though he isn`t completely happy with it, just at thought on the whole Aces is all down to Bruce theme on here.
Great, that article is by the author of the first Maiden book, Running Free.
I am being a little sarcastic. Bruce is the main reason why the set lists have been better since 2016. 2011-2014 was a little stale IMO. As far as I am aware, he is the one behind the more interesting song inclusions.Maybe the band want to play Aces and Bruce goes along with it even though he isn`t completely happy with it, just at thought on the whole Aces is all down to Bruce theme on here.

Even if the interviewer mistaken Bruce's solo album for the next year, I think that's a curious quote from Steve. It gives a little more hope by saying - that he's not ruling it out, not been properly discussed (but still discussed in some way), and that there's no reason NOT to record another album.Some interesting bits in that.

In the other interview he says that he doesnt think about retireThe Rock Candy interview is better - Steve doesn't rule out Maiden finding ways not having a 'hard stop'. He even speculates about just a few gigs a year to keep Maiden going in some way.
Yeah there were definitely a few major mistakes in the article so wouldn't surprise me "take your daughter to the slaughter"?
Steve's comments if true are interesting though. They're likely not thinking too far ahead. But I imagine once they're approaching the end of 2026 they'll think about new material, especially with Bruce seeming to be keen get in the studio with Simon.
Yeah, interesting band dynamics on display as well I thought, Steve taken by surprise thinking Bruce said something without discussing it with him, "he’s always saying that".Steve's comments if true are interesting though.
