I didn't think about it at first, but it shows that they have plans beyond 2026.

I would say so too. Then the question is, what does that mean regarding Nicko?

Your guess is as good as mine. But I think it depends on how he does on Run For Your Lives Tour.I would say so too. Then the question is, what does that mean regarding Nicko?
Both, as has been said for some previous History tours, but I think at this point in time this will be true for some songs. It has more weight and we know it. Plus Steve said they have no plans to retire for a while, whatever that means. With or without Nicko? Idk, but I think - with, if not, then it's the end.I see this as a hint that they are not hanging it up and will continue their business. Or this is just standard promo wording?
Nicko's son, Justin, could replace his dad. There's a video on YouTube where you can see him play the same songs as his father is doing in front of him.Both, as has been said for some previous History tours, but I think at this point in time this will be true for some songs.

I guess he will maintain his current level, the songs will be simplified (80's or not), and this would be fine I assume, if Nicko wants to continue ofc. With 20-25 shows per year. Despite everything, Nicko is showing great endurance and I'm happy.Your guess is as good as mine. But I think it depends on how he does on Run For Your Lives Tour.

Disagree, I'd look at it the same way Zeppelin did with Jason Bonham. If he's good enough, then he should be the one (if anybody should replace him at all).Just my opinion, but no, not nepotism again. Someone well known/recognized in the metal/rock scene.
As I said before, IF Maiden get a touring drummer, it needs to be someone who has grove. Pure metal drummer wouldn't cut it.Just my opinion, but no, not nepotism again. Someone well known/recognized in the metal/rock scene.
Zeppelin did a single gig with Jason. A tribute to Atlantic Records president Ahmet Ertegun. Not a Tour.Disagree, I'd look at it the same way Zeppelin did with Jason Bonham. If he's good enough, then he should be the one (if anybody should replace him at all).

It is the same principle.Zeppelin did a single gig with Jason. A tribute to Atlantic Records president Ahmet Ertegun. Not a Tour.
Yes. Spectacular live dvd.Didn't they do the O2 thing with him?

From No Prayer I want to hear only title track and Daughter. Tailgunner as opener would be super weak for me. I mean, it' poor man's Aces High at best. Be Quick or Phantom would be great openers.
It's a feel thing. Nicko doesn't play like a metal drummer nor does sound like one. Maybe non-musicians don't understand that, but it's a thing. And is especially important to the rythm section department, in this case, Steve.I don't think that drummers who are recognized (admired) in the metal scene are only drummers who don't have a groove.
That's very bad, imho. The less shows, the bigger the stadiums. Maiden show is suited / shines in arenas, not stadiums. Also open air has bad visibility and the sound often is far from perfectI guess he will maintain his current level, the songs will be simplified (80's or not), and this would be fine I assume, if Nicko wants to continue ofc.
