Maiden to "reveal secret plans" in next issue of Metal Hammer (it's the air show)

[THESEVENTHMARINER]

They didn't, there's nothing about a new album in Metal Hammer, it's just a big section about the air show at Sonisphere and Bruce's aviation history.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Jesus, how many times does it have to be said? We already found out on page 1 of this thread that it's just about the airshow!!!

 

[LooseCannon]

Calm down, calm down. I'll add it to the title, and if we can't get along, I'll have to close the thread.

 

[Brigantium]

Is there some kind of award pending for the thread with the best name?

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

I am in full support. This whole thread was an exercise in silly.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Calm down, calm down. I'll add it to the title, and if we can't get along, I'll have to close the thread.

Get it done, man!

 

[Black Wizard]

I'm really looking forward to find out what the secret plans are when I pick up a copy of the magazine!

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

I have no interest in magazines.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

Get it done, man!

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Here's the fucking secrets in detail!!

But you need to register or something.

 

[Brigantium]

If you really, really want, I can scan it, commit copyright infringement, and send to anyone who's interested. But chances are you won't find it very interesting, unless you're interested in the manoeuvrability of assorted WW1 aircraft.

Which, incidentally, I am

 

[LooseCannon]

It probably won't teach me anything I don't already know.

 

[Brigantium]

I can only aspire to your levels of knowledge, Loosey, I tip my cap to you, sir.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

That's very kind of you @Brigantium ! But I think I will also pass. I mean of course roll and back to my right and jerk back on the stick and disappear into the sky!

 

[Brigantium]

I hope that was a reference to aviation.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Yes, it was a poor and uneducated guess at aviation lingo for "passing something"

I'm the nerdy kid who sat around with a copy of Jane's Complete List of Fighters reading stats in college.

 

[Brigantium]

I used to study those Jane's books, but I don't remember that much. I must have just looked at the pictures or something.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

It probably won't teach me anything I don't already know.

It will probably not go further into detail than talking about how the Sopwith Camel was a revelation in terms of quick turns etc, but that it was a dangerous machine to fly, and probably something equally detailed about a couple of German planes. Not very secret.

You've read it, haven't you? Actually he says more about the tight turn radius on the Fokker DR.1, and picks the five planes he'd most like in his personal squadron.

It does go into more about what Maiden have been doing on the tour/what they'll be doing at Knebworth, and Steve has a bit of a chat too. Thank goodness the setlist wasn't a secret to me, because the list was shown in the magazine.
