"There's got to be something (just) more to it than this..."

Infinite Dreams confirmed. Oh boy, next tour is going to be awesome with Infinite Dreams and Alexander the Great in the set. They sure planned this years ago!!! Just like Icarus was deliberately saved for LOTB to give it a maximum effect.












Kidding, of course.

I'm starting to believe that announcement from Maiden camp is gonna be sooner than July 15, I can't imagine that for 2 weeks they will feed us eternal amount of WOTW references.

I think there could be a 2 week countdown leading to July 15 which would be posted on Maiden's site in just a couple of days.

The WOTW theme seems to be very prevalent however I would be surprised if Maiden used The Writings on the Wall as an album or single title.
It has been used by a number of other artists before and doesn't seem very Maidenish.
Maybe WOTW means something else?

The Final Frontier wasn't very original either.

Legatodave, of course.

Seriously, do check his last post here.

These two weeks are going to be sooo fun . This thread have 15 more pages than 2 days ago.

The Final Frontier wasn't very original either.

Very true.
Although there were a particular set of circumstances that led to that album title. Bruce was being mischievous (again) and was trolling the media especially. Steve had previously stated that they would stop at 15 albums or something like that.

They can still change around the tours..we don't actually know for sure 100% will LOTB 3rd leg even happen. If 2022 shows are going as planned, they surely have named the tour as "Legacy Of The Beast Tour '22"..but I don't get used to the idea of having new album out then tour some of it and then do LOTB 3rd leg. Not seeing logic there..
Would it be that they will adjust the tour, setlist and setup that it will actually be a teaser tour or album tour instead?
I think someone mentioned already when they postponed 2021 shows to 2022 that the announcements didn't actually refer to LOTB-tour etc.

Or the album dropping this year will be the perfect marketing tool to announce a North / South American tour for next year that's what i think is going to happen.

Europe will wrap up the legacy run. They may add a new song or 2 and promise to return 2023 with the full album set which will debut in NA late 2022 which they usually announce almost a year before the gigs these days so perfect marketing either way

Calling it now

 

[Helmuth Von Moltke]

Yep, my thought too. Steve may have pilfered some of Bruce's solo album ideas and asked him to keep them for Maiden,
like If Eternity Should Fail. and then the song titles/themes lent themselves to the imagery for the album...cue artwork/style ideas. Give me old school biblical imagery aka Gustave Dore etching style, pure Black and White

I also think it is possible that parts of the Bruce album have been cannibalised for Maiden#17.

Co-writes with Roy Z maybe not, but lyric and visual ideas perhaps.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

Is it possible that Belshazzar could be a new character planned for the LOTB game?

 

[Poto]

I think Belshazzar's Feast is just part of the marketing. It's connected to the writing on the wall, but that's it.

@MrKnickerbocker Why did you laugh at that? I was being serious.
