Iron Maiden studio album 17 rumours and speculations

[shadowpants]

 

[Azas]

Let's play guessing game. My bet is:
New album will contain 10 songs. Album cover will be somewhat yellowish/sandish. On the cover will be seen some domesticated animal. A horse or camel. Eddie's stance will be prominent and very recognisable. There will be no Murray song. Title song will be written by Bruce.

 

[Magnus]

But it is a Chinese Eddie,right?

Only the lasers, apparently.

Spoiler

Google seems to be developing a sick sense of humour.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Flaming Blimp Crash]

If the album is called The Way Of The Warrior, a.k.a. 武士道, how many fans would perform seppuku, I wonder.

Give me Sun and Steel in the tour set, please.

With authentic Japanese saké yeast from the award-winning Okunomatsu saké brewery?

Eddie as a Lawrence of Arabia character?

 

[The_7th_one]

Done

And Samurai too:

 

[gazda]

So if this album will be post apocalypse/sun and sand theme. Maybe this is time for some deep cuts on set.

To Tame a Land, Sun and Steel, Child' Ends, Lord of the Flies, BNW, and why we had Twilight Zone poster in video? Of all posters they put that one...

 

[Perun]

Or did you tell me that, @Perun?
That would explain a) why I'm pretty sure I learned it courtesy of this forum, and b) why I couldn't find such a post anywhere

Might be. It sounds like a thing I'd tell you.

Samurai Eddie seems so out of place in the video that I can believe that he’ll be on the cover. The interview that Kalata posted also seems to suggest that all the Belshazzar and Daniel business was all tied to the video. Starting to think that all begins and ends with The Writing on the Wall.

Twotw played at x1.25 is outstanding. Give it a shot if this hasn’t been brought up already on thee boards . Sounds so much more MAIDEN!

Most believable estimate so far

I buy this argument tbh i.e. it's so random in the video and out of keeping with the story that it must have some greater significance. It makes no sebse with the rest of the story for them to go "Oh ok and let's have a fidth eddir appear on top of the four we already have AND be a samurai AND be rendered in 3D unlike everythibg else in the video.

I can’t believe we didn’t get a new beer announcement on Thursday, just a few minutes of music instead! Clearly Iron Maiden doesn’t care about their fans anymore. I’d better see some new beers and Bruce speaking tour dates announced on Monday or I’m through with these geezers!

 

[jvitor_amaral]

I am very curious on what we will see tomorrow, as the cover for TBOS is so plain and not very hidding-stuff-friendly

I just listened as a ‘let’s see’ and by golly it’s great.
I like it as is, but it’s got a more urgent sound at 1.25.

To me it sounds worse faster.

Absolutely amazing!

It's a good song. It has that pacing because of something. I think it will be like the "Tears of a Clown" of the next album.
