What happened to the supposed Stratego video?

Don't know. Maybe he needs some public recognition as his band is not famous in Europe, just in France. And Maiden is a monster around the globe. So, the possible reason of his spitting on the best heavy metal band in the world is jealousy... That's why he's criticizing 'Senjutsu', Maiden and Kevin Shirley...

Maybe it has vanished in the obscurity of a black hole ?

I think someone mentioned here (not so long ago) that a new Maiden documentary is coming. Maybe they will skip the History Part 4 documentary and release one that covers their entire career/history instead. This Twitter post confirms that a new Maiden documentary is on the way. Great news.

This is really amazing. There is truly a sound and an album for everybody. Did you like Angel and the gambler, Educated Fool or Don't look to the eyes of a stranger?

That twitter post has nothing to do with a Maiden documentary!

Steve and Bruce: "So, Nick, we are gonna do Aces High, then Where Eagles Dare and then we think about replacing Two Minutes To Midnight with Stratego..."
Nicko: "Oh fuck."

Album is great. Along with TBOS best reunion album. But samurai vibe to me looks so forced and not fitting. Eddie should be Albion/Avalon isles warrior
Hmmm, I am not so sure.

Absolutely agree! Roy is a shredder through and through. Just listen to the solo on the opening track of Tyranny for example - it's so boring, just one note after the other, all at the same tempo with zero feeling.

DEEPER GREY CAME TO MOURN
I think on the whole it's a very strong album. No real weak songs...but of course we can still all rank them.
I'm not sure it's quite up there with BNW and AMOLAD but its close. How it sits with DOD TFF and BOS I haven't figured out yet.
I think the song Senjutsu it one of the highlights for me. Different, dark, unusually emotional. Very affecting work I think.
Just a quick word on the 'epics' of the album. I think Steve over the last number of years has gone down the route of the extended song...as opposed to an 'epic'. I still think Rime is by a long way...his most epic track. Purely for the sake of the scope of the track. It really travels to different musical locations...comes out of the middle section and builds and builds into a new explosive world. It Travels.
I think the recent stuff, which I do love by the way....doesn't really do this scope/travel thing, that I feel robs them of some of that epic status.
I'm also not a 'Powerslave' fanboy. Of course its great, but no better then BNW and AMOLAD. Each with their own vibes and flavours.
I suppose theres just that quality of scope and travel that I would love to have seen in Steve's epics. The new stuff tends to stay in the same musical location. Anyways...just some thoughts. I'm very happy with the new album and look forward each day to selecting a song to get into.
I know I haven't unlocked the whole album yet

Now Im really curious about thanks list on the album cover, Steve mentions all those people, it has to be hint or goodbye and it just doesn't feel like random thing to happen today.
Did someone mention that they had been in contact with Di'Anno later, if the list was compiled in 2018? I recall reading that somewhere.
