Apparently the TBOS cover art featured in an exhibition at Bloodstock festival, Derbyshire, at the weekend, and artist Mark Wilkinson was there to talk about it. I think it was a large print, not the original piece.

Hey hey night prowler, there's a different forum for that. "Iron Maiden social media forum" lol just joking.:rolleyes: My point on how no matter what, we are going to talk about something else other than the thread topic because there is nothing going on.

Yip, you've got to love it when even the staff can't keep on topic...:innocent:
 
Whilst we wait for the Speed of Light video to come out, Maiden have launched a tournament to determine the best video:

(Although I think we all know that the Tournament of Iron Maiden Guitar Solos is the superior Maiden-related contest)

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't realise that Night Prowler had actually posted about this earlier on in the thread!

All that would be cool but Janick has said in an interview that he doesn't even know if there is a video, and if there is, then none of the band is in it.

I don't remember reading that in either of the two recent interviews with him. However I wouldn't be surprised if you're right, as both were rather detailed, lengthy interviews.

That said, the official website refers to a Speed of Light video coming out on Friday. That's either a lyric or music video.

It's pretty awesome how close we are getting to hearing some real music from this album. Come Friday we'll know one song and have a pretty good idea on the sound and production of the record will be like. Man I can't wait!

Don't think so. Final Frontier and Eldorado are completely different from the rest of the album.

Tecnically, there is no single but an online promo video. :smartarse:

I hope that this video will be not an animated videoclip but a collage of this 5 working/life years of the band. I would really enjoy an "Holy Smoke" kind of video.

Umm I did share a picture I took of the Best Buy add that came in the newspaper yesterday showing Speed Of Light single on CD including a T-shirt available on Friday... However, I am confused with why it's not online right now.. Maybe they did sale out online (as it showed a while back), but each store is still getting what they ordered.
 
Yikes, maybe they're sold out of preorders again! I know it was posted on the IMFC board so quite a few folks there probably ordered it as well.
 
I work at Best Buy and I can confirm that (at least my store) we've got the Speed of Light singles in stock. They arrived today via UPS. It sucks that the t-shirts all seem to be extra large. That's a couple sizes too big.

Oh, and no, I can't take one early! Well, I could... but you know what I mean.

Could you take a photo of the single and the t-shirts?
 
I just hope they have more than like 2 of them per store. Historically, in my experience, Best Buy has been horrific about having even advertised product in their stores.
