AFTERGLOW!!!
A part of me wishes Maiden wouldn't blast everything so loud and in your face. Sometimes, stuff gets lost in the mix and doesn't sound quite right.

Congratulations! Even more remarkable: you managed to get a picture of Steve not holding the imaginary umbrella!

Isn't that the guitar Adrian used during TFF tour (2011 leg).... I think he played DOD and Blood Brothers with it in En Vivo!
A debut for the current tour? Or just a warm-up guitar like the Sunburst Strat nowadays...

Two recent pictures from the current tour. What on earth has Janick done to his hair?!!?
Idk about his hair, but at these two recent pictures he has a KISS influence (he put the guitar pick at the pickguard and he shoot the Spitfire with his guitar just like Ace shoot with his guitar).... so he definitely goes for a glam metal approach

I don't think you can ascribe the spare-pick-behind-the-scratchplate to any particular influence - it's an obvious practical consideration since the scratchplate is slightly loose at that point, and plenty of other musicians do it besides KISS (Status Quo spring to mind for a start). Also we know Janick's thoughts regarding make-up (he's "just not into that shit") and we don't need to go outside Maiden for a guitar-neck-used-as-prop-gun reference (ie Steve). So I don't think any of this is actually proof or even a strong indication of any glam metal influences on Janick. (On the other hand we do know he is a fan of T-Rex ...)Idk about his hair, but at these two recent pictures he has a KISS influence (he put the guitar pick at the pickguard and he shoot the Spitfire with his guitar just like Ace shoot with his guitar).... so he definitely goes for a glam metal approach

Well, my comment was a joke, but I think for the first time I see one of the Maiden guitarists to put the guitar pick at the pickguard.

That's fine, only with you I can never be quite sure
Surprising it took them so long to think of itI think for the first time I see one of the Maiden guitarists to put the guitar pick at the pickguard.
For Janick though, I suppose there was always the chance it could fly out if he decided to start throwing the guitar around ...

Nah, the guitar he played on the TFF tour was actually the 1986 Jackson superstrat, but with the new signature pickguard and pickups. And also one new knob, if I remember correctly.

They won't be. There's no way that Iron Maiden would have any 2020, dates announced before the current tour is finished. After the end of this tour is, however, a different matter.

Exactly my thoughts, I just have this feeling but with almost another month of this tour to go it would be out of the ordinary for Maiden to announce 2020 dates

It'll most likely be System of a Down in my opinion because they've been slowly announcing a European tour consisting of festivals the past few days. We will see though

About drums..
One thing I know for sure, the BOS tour drum set was the best. Royal gold and red, really precious looking. Imo, LOTB drum set looks much less impressive.
I also think TBOS drum kit is the best one, but the LOTB drum kit is also top-notch (it's like a colorful version of the ''Give Me Ed'' tour drum kit). TBOS one is just bit ahead for me.

I wish I could understand what magical powers allow Adrian to improvise solos like that. Seriously, the thought of just coming up with the idea of throwing in the intro riff to Wasted Years in the tail of the Wicker Man solo is just mindblowing to me, from the perspective of a non-guitarist.
