If you can find a Brave New World shirt that has Maiden +Blaze -Adrian printed on it then we might just be on to one of the best kept Maiden secrets of all time... Just imagine that both albums had already been written and recorded during the Blaze era... even the album artwork and some conceptual merchandise had been produced. [!--emo&

With Sanctuary Records / EMI selling less and less records Rod Smallwood and Steve Harris secretively decide to push the releasedates for both albums a few years ahead an meanwhile plan for a reunion with BD and AS.
As Blaze is payed a conciderable amount to "leave the band now" and "ask no questions later" he even agrees on signing away his co-written material for both BNW an DOTD wich, after the release, is suddenly credited to Dickinson and Smith. [!--emo&

Well then, if we would buy this DOTD shirt and we would send it to a specialized laboratory where one could carbondate the ink used for the print on this shirt then, and ONLY then, we could have certainty if either the shirt is a fake or Maiden fans around the world have been fooled big time by their favourite band and its management for well over seven years.
Until any official scientific institute proves otherwise, I will stand by this theory. [!--emo&
