He tunes Maiden songs to D.

Even more evil then.

Can anyone who was at the concert in Antwerp today confirm Bruce's final words? From what I heard, it sounded promising.

 

[onurb]

Steve and Bruce have already been asked about that and said no. Steve also said he wouldn't be joining Blaze on stage during his set.

LMFAO

This is the most IM thing. Idk why some people still think it will have some sort of collaboration.

That's a given. Blaze tunes to Eb these days and we know that tuning down is a source of all evil according to S. P. Harris.

And Bruce, because if you tune down it's "not authentic" anymore for...reasons.

 

[GhostofCain]

Maiden will die the day they use that.

Do the backing vocals on Powerslave count or not? They were using Bruce’s original ones from 1984 “played” by the (hidden) keyboard player on The Book of Souls tour in 2016/2017 and have also been using them on the RFYL tour in 2025/2026.

Dave seems more than usually emotional ...

I can forgive Bruce, because it's his voice and his struggle and stubborness.

But making Blaze sing songs like Trooper in original key is another story.

it's him behind the curtains…

I remember one blaze interview, one of his first that he loved to sing aces hugh, seventh son and maybe flight of icarus. That would have been interesting to see lol.
