Sorry, if Kevin Shirley and Steve Harris produce a possible new album, Im not really interested. Been a fan since 1982, and Maiden hasn't had good album production since Martin Birch.

Just think what Eddie will look like in the future at a gig?

Next we'll be seeing Pepto Bismol commercials featuring "Run to the Hills."

As an Iron Maiden fan, could you see unearthed live recordings being released from this?

Absolute sellouts. Totally on brand for them though with the never ending greatest hits tours they've been doing non stop, something they mocked other legacy bands for doing. Obviously not making enough money from that. Pathetic.

Oh, EddFest was designed by Pophouse? Do an event/showcase in America it's a thumbs up for me!

Like, a virtual Iron Maiden event at Cosm/the Sphere would be sick.

Wait, they needed an outside company to take some old junk out of a warehouse and display it at Knebworth?
Really??

Not surprise 'd Iron Maiden today live is already a musical

This deal is good for the band, the people around them (families, crew, employees) and will ensure that fans get more experiences to enjoy. I won't get into how but I have some insight into what ABBA have done and it benefits a lot more people than just the band. ABBA looked after the people who helped them become and stay successful as well as their families.

Iron Maiden jeans and pimple cream coming your way soon…as well as a gazillion more "eddie toys"

For me it would be best they call it a day. One last final album and then retirement. The last album I felt ecstatic was Dance Of Death, all the albums that came after were kind of ok but nothing spectacular. Most songs are too long and the energy/aggressivness really took a hit. Also the latest stadium tours suck, in smaller venues the music and energy sharing between the band and the crowd really made it another level of feeling their music.

the only reason your channel deserves to get the hype is because you get the music and you get the bands and most importantly you get the fans.

This happens a lot now, especially artists towards the end of their career. Can't see the issue with it. Good luck to them

Its 50%

Hope Derek Riggs gets some of that cash

It will be like their latest movie in the theaters: it will bring nothing new to us but it will increase their bank accounts and decrease ours.
Anyway, I am hopeful about this and expecting something good to come.
Up the Irons! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Heritage? Fuck that, we gonna grab some MONEY!

I saw Harris collecting money on Hook a duck at Knebworth

Everyone in their position would do the same…

I think this is awesome for me because i am one who is Swedish and from Stockholm and this could mean so much for me and when this news came out i was flabbergasted and its so sick that we Sweden have this bands and Kiss. I hope we do it right because we Sweden are one of the biggest Maiden fanbase and we love them so much and like everything they do and play even The X Factor and Virtual XI and for me they are actually soo good. I will like The X Factor in my heart i hope forever and its Sooo underrated even Virtual XI and that says that those facts are like true. So lets see if we do it right and i think so 100% but we will see and i hope we Sweden don't fck up and lets see what happens now with stuff that can happen now with the stuff they do that you said at the end but now even more of it so im so excited so lets see what happens and now lets see what tours and music stuff they put out in the future and lets see if we get a new album now after 2027. 🙂🤘🔥💯😁💥

Soon:

Kylie Minogue playing the song Iron Maiden. In every set list.

it means record company can make iron maiden songs with ai as they sold their likeness. the next maiden album may be made with ai.

Copyright, in the natural world, is a travesti. Ideas are infinite, you don't "own" something that exists in the ether. Private property exists for something real, that is limited, and can't be shared or used by everyone, so the need to secure your ownership: You and other person can't eat the exactly piece of food that is needed for your survival, so your existence relies on a private property.

When you listen a song, though, the original creator of the song, don't lose the song, it doesn't vanish from the head of the creator because that song is now "playing" in your head. Of course it's annoying when someone copies something you created, but the laws can't be written because you felt bothered, laws must be created to solve conflicts, and real conflicts only occur when people are fighting for limited resources. Copyright a song, has the same principle of someone copyrighting the word "apple", or the number "2". Makes no sense AT ALL.

With all that said, people, the cattle, accept anything, as long as introduced discretly or existed previous their existence, and we will defend it just because "it's how the things are". Wrong! Most things in the world must be revised, because lots of things were created for the most ridiculous demands or motivation. The copyright was created, probably, because someone wanted to secure lots of money, and did the lobby with people with power to do it.

Luckily, reality always strike, today, you can't dowload any song you want, without paying for the gatekeepers. Still limited, because they can charge you (under menace of violence of the State), if you do a cover of a song in an album release, but still something, musicians learned the hard way and accepted that they only will make real money, by doing live presentations, not selling music.

Who really cares? Killers was the last proper maiden album. Sod Bruce I don't care what you think, I think he's an arsehole.
