Whatever guys, just don't lay the blame on anyone but yourselves if you hit the dead end in your rabbit hole.
I think the title of this topic says ...album 17 rumours and speculations. And we are discussing that. And I said, I'm 90% sure that they are recording. Why?
1. Steve said that they will meet in early 2019. Why would they meet up, if they didn't intend to do something? Why would Davey fly from Hawaii to attend a meeting, which he can do online.
2. Why would Bruce only do only 5 book dates, all of them crammed at the end of February to 2nd of March?
3. Why would Adrian, who ALWAYS spends winters (if IM isn't touring) in Malibu, CA return to UK in February?
4. Why would Adrian test pedals in his studio?
5. Why would Adrian and Nicko return/come to London at the same time?
6. Why would Kevin Shirley be in Paris in the middle of the winter, instead in the sunny Australia.
7. Why would Adrian visit Steve in Nassau in the beginning of February?
All things point to IM recording a new album. So, I'm 90% sure it's happening. We are connecting the dots as @Lego said. And almost all of them point into the direction of Maiden recording.
