+Jason I totally agree! He's a really smart bugger. My favourite singer from my favourite band :)

+Jason 17 years. It really took 17 years for me to understand this. Wow. I have been so blind.

Maiden have always understood the merch aspects of the whole Maiden world. Smart blokes. Maiden will still be being played all over Earth in 2118, and many more centuries to come. 😋

i couldnt agree more!

wow for real

That is true

i've always loved that Maiden is a musicians band, and that every one of them get to shine with their talent to make a complete and complimentary band as a whole

they've never been a band that used "substances" they were married with families and were grounded. sorry this is five years after you posted but i've just found the video!

YRP! actually whoas smarter??? any hnds in the air?

It's actually funny what he said at the end because they actually did that. If you take a look at the album booklets until the album A Matter of Life & Death, (you can even take a look on the Discogs website for convenience) they used to have actual photos of them. Until the album The Final Frontier, it's when they only had like a photo of them in the dark. And in The Book of Souls album, they also had a picture of them but with some digital effect and a pyramid behind them. They pretty much started using more art on the booklets to compensate the lack of photos and to make them more interesting to look at, I guess. So I imagine the guys talking about how they wouldn't use photos anymore, because of how crap they think they looked. Lol

funny thing is, Bruce can probably still run circles around EVERYONE in the comments combined. i'm sad for us all. even 8 years after you made this comment.

Have you heard Rob Halford when he's on his game? At 60 some odd years old, he still overpowers Bruce.

pilotamurorei Only saw him 3 times live compared to over a dozen for Bruce but he's my number 2 and just loses by a nose.

halford does high notes great but hes cheesey! that whole band is cheesey. He doesn't have the depth that a world cless fencer, minor league football player, pilot of all things flying, brewMASTER, PUSSY EATING CANCER SURVIVOR. does!

@@pilotamurorei The problem with this statement is in the statement. "When he's on his game". Bruce is always on his game. Whether he's sick, injured, tired, beginning or end of the tour, he's extremely consistent. Halford is amazing, but he isn't as consistent and even when he is, you can tell he's struggling a lot more with his upper register than Bruce ever does.

@@pilotamurorei bruh, Bruce is way better than Rob. He can still do it after40 years.

very true. im currently working on a song based on the Raven by Poe. that poem both knocks you off your feet and turns your brain into a pretzel

+wishuhadmyname hows the song working out?

@@MrCapone1996 I think he quit

Hyperbolic much?

@@Carlos-xz3vi dont think so, hes one of the only who wasn’t a drug addict.

@@Zomebody135 I don't think so either. Bruce has pretty much got it all sussed

and he is an ATP, rated to fly that big jet.

My two favorite bands. Along with King Diamond, Fates Warning and Dio.

+FinlayLavery303 That was a poser movie

wtf is a poser movie.. fucking kids these days

Antares a movie that thought it was way cooler than it actually is, yes..fucking kids these days..lol

FinlayLavery303 That... actually makes a bit of sense.

Eroticnightmare common dude. There's a guy throwing flames with a fucking guitar, while he rides a monster truck in an apocalyptic desert. Now tell me that's not metal

+TheReincarnatedDeath 13 songs where recorded @ Long beach arena and 5 where recorded @ Hammersmith so you're actually both correct.

+Tommy Jensen Thank you! I was wondering that as well because I was there at Long Beach and distinctly remember Bruce telling everyone that they were recording :D. I only have the LP and its in storage sadly with the rest of my collection :(.

scream for me Long Beach!!! the Flight.... of ICARUS!!!

Side 4 was recorded at Hammersmith

Yes but there's a bonus disc with 5 songs, recorded at Hammersmith

Yes! And guess who was there all 4 nights! THIS CAT! (they only recorded 2 of the nights) Ivw been to all 4 nights at the forum and the the 2 nights at Irvine meadows (6 nights every single fraking june in greater l.a.) every year they did it! Im on the gatefold of the album! WOOOHOOO!

@@chrisadams1996 That must have been one hell of a week.I saw them on the UK leg of the Powerslave tour and it's still one off the best live performances of any band I've seen(and I've seen a ton of bands over the years).

Nearly all of it is.. There are about 4 songs at the end recorded at Hammersmith Odeon... Side 4 of the lp.

What?!?! He sang it in French??! That's crazy.

Nah

Maiden would have gone no where if they stayed with Dianno. Even Dianno admits that.

+Marek Więcki I've watched all the films they've put out, and I don't remember him ever saying that.

Metal world o r something, he said that in the beginning that his favourite band is from Brazil

+Marek Więcki not really. he always said Maiden was is favorite band. He said at one point that Sepultura was ONE of this favorite bands.

***** Nope, crappy album, same as everything since dance of derp.

暗黒騎士 Ankokukishi ……Empire of the clouds. Fuck, the entire Book Of Souls record.

James Florin The minute I heard Speed of Light, I immediately turned away. A song THAT FUCKING SLOW does not deserve the title "Speed of Light." Listen to Stratovarius' Speed of Light, now THAT'S what a song called "Speed of Light" should be called. And no, I have been bitten once too many times by Maiden, I am done with them. they can't write music anymore, and they STILL refuse to play Flight of Icarus on tour. Until they play FoI again, they won't even get 3 seconds of my attention.

you r so wrong lad

I'd say AMOLAD is one of their best actually.
