What do you reckon the last thing we need from Maiden next year is...

Invader said:
Well, the show itself will be about two hours hopefully; does it matter if it's many short songs or less long ones?  I personally would really like to hear Alexander the Great, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son and Heaven Can Wait all in the same set. :)

You said it man.  It's been a while since they played a two hour show.  My problem wasn't the number of songs,  but the length of the show in the first time.  And I was being sarcastic about future shows.

PS:  I really hope you were replying to my post,  or this was just a pointless clarification  :D.  If you weren't,  please forgive me,  I'm tired and ready to fall asleep  :halo:.
 
Yes, I was replying to your post. :)  And I've never seen Maiden live; I just thought that two hours would be the standard, since that's what it is on Rock in Rio.  :D

Yeah,  I think it was probably the last time they played so long.  Now the "standard" is about an hour and 40-45 mins.  But then of course,  you get the 2005 tour when the show lasted an hour and a half.  :P.
 
It had better not be a documentary in which the band members go to group therapy and film it, like Metallica's career-ending movie. 

I've got it!!  Alien v. Predator v. Eddie!  (or, Jason v. Freddie v. Eddie)  With Maiden doing the soundtrack! 
(Just joking, but you know, it wouldn't be the dumbest movie idea Hollywood has come up with...)

EDIT:  For the record, my prediction is that the band will release a (remixed?) single of one of its 80s classics.  This would be consistent with past practices, and would explain why cagedbeast was less than enthusiastic in his first post on this thread.  Which leads to the question, which song?  Many of the classics already have promo videos, so my guess is Rime of the Ancient Mariner.  If anyone could pull off a 14-minute single, it would be Iron Maiden, and a short film of the Mariner's story would actually be pretty cool -- and one of the few things that could warrant the giddiness in cagedbeast's more recent posts.

I liked that documentary. Far from "career-ending", St. Anger took care of that and even then I'm curious about their next album, supposedly out this year.
 
I haven't seen Some Kind of Monster, but my impression was that the group therapy was just another part of the documentary, which was supposed to chart their progress in writing St. Abortion.

Still, I doubt Maiden are in need of that...at the minute, at any rate. :P
 
Exactly, the documentary was supposed to be about the making of St. A, but half way through it Jason quits, Hetfield goes batshit insane and all the unhealthy crap they had been harboring for 20 plus years surfaced and they finally dealt with it.
 
Really?  I prefer the Bruce version; Blaze's interpretation seems somehow weaker, and I think the high chorus rather suits the song.  But to each his own I guess.  :)

BTW is the DotR commentary any good?  75 minutes seems pretty long, especially compared to the rather fragmented "documentary "of Rock in Rio (the interviews with the band members and "life on the road" or whatever they called it).
 
Yes,  the documentary on DOTR is actually very good.  It covers a lot of subjects,  from writing the DoD album to what it takes to make a Maiden gig come true.  It's the RiR documentaries that are poor  -_-.

News from EMI Norway, new CD and DVD out this year
Before the showing of LAD in Oslo last night a person from EMI had some news for us. There will be a new best of CD out in may, and a new DVD will be ready for xmas this year. 2 new LAD dvd's where also given away yesterday.

Could this have anything to do with the mentioned unwanted release? ;)

If it's going to be another reissue of Edward the Great, some heads are going to roll. :mad:
 
Edward the Great Part Trois.  Just what we do NOT need.  What are they going to add onto this... 'These Colours Don't Run' and/or 'The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg', plus 'Different World'.  Why bother!? 
 
PHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!

At last I can reveal all! http://www.ironmaiden.com/index.php?cat ... icleid=831

I was told about this last December but was sworn to secrecy! Someone I know was in contact with Derek Riggs & they were told that there would be another compilation.

Looking at the track list it's not just the same old same old I suppose, but how many times do they need to put RTTH Wratchild, CIPWM & Iron Maiden on live recordings!

Wonder where the live recordings come from though!!
 
Utter crap tracklist. LAD(era)-tracks plus WY, TETMD & CIPWM. Again the last two albums of the 80s are undervalued. *shakes head*
 
Basically a re-release of Best of the Beast.  Ugh.

Not a bad looking cover, mind you.
