Studio Album #16 - Rumours and Speculation (New Info 27.02.15)

[Lego]

From 2012-
"Harris: I don't know about ten years, but I think we've certainly got another five years in us but it's hard to say. As you get older it gets doubly hard to keep yourself fit and in shape. We do work really hard on doing that. It's important to us. We'd be selling ourselves and everyone else short if we didn't, so we do look after ourselves. It does get tougher."

As the old saying goes, better to leave too early than too late. But it will be a sad day when they leave. I have caught every tour that has come near me (and a few far away from me) since the World Slavery Tour.

I'll enjoy it while it lasts and see as many shows as possible, obviously the music itself will be around forever.

I don't think this is true for music.

At least we can be thankful for this. Maiden has not "yet" reached the "Man, I wish they would have just called it quits x years ago" issue....Still putting out good stuff.

I do, some bands I used to like (still like the albums, but will not go see them anymore). seeing them on stage where the singer cannot sing, band members replaced, and the remaining ones look like they need a walker. It is a sad state and Maiden is not there yet for sure, they looked and sounded good on the last tour.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Yup, some bands get embarrassing over the years...Maiden not yet.

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

Maybe it's just that as an aging musician myself, I sympathize.

 

[jeez]

New song from upcoming album? This is most likely a demo version as the sound aint very good, song is called Sacred City. http://www.4shared.com/mp3/HjZyIEXCce/Iron_Maiden_-_02_-_Sacred_City.html

Im pretty sure this is Bruce singing

It does not mean do not keep playing, but it is a little tacky IMO to charge people top dollar for a show when the band is sub par.

I doubt this is a new Maiden song, but that sounds a lot like Bruce... where'd you get this?

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Are you saying it's not a virus NP? safe to DL for the rest of us then?

 

[Night Prowler]

Uh, I just streamed it from that website, there's a play button. Now that I see it can be downloaded, it might need to be removed because of piracy. Mods?

I don't think so. Something sounds off.

Somehwere on the internet, the post was removed very quickly so was just running into this file by pure accident.

Sorry for crap english.

Not until we see proof this is genuine Maiden. If it is, word will spread, and something should be known soon enough.

 

[jeez]

Once again, i am not saying this is a new maiden song but it sounds VERY VERY much like Bruce Dickinson. Also all riffs, play style etc is very "maidenish".

Oh i posted this link as i found it, it was only up on internet for few minutes. I know it hasn't been up for long, in that case i would have seen it long before..

 

[Night Prowler]

Higher notes definitely sound like Bruce, and that's much harder to pull off than the music, which while definitely Maidenish can be easily mimicked.

 

[The Flash]

It's Bruce, no question. However I don't think it's a song from the new Maiden album. A song from a new Bruce Dickinson album, maybe?

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Not Maiden. But a damn good Bruce impression. Should've hired this guy instead of Blaze.

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

I don't think it's Maiden. At minimum, I don't think that's Nicko and Steve on drums and bass. The style is Maiden, but I've heard Maiden this good from bands like Nomad Soul too.

I'm not even sure it's Bruce. The pronunciation sounds off on many words. If it is Bruce, it may be an unreleased solo demo.
