    Surely a band such as Maiden deserves it's own thread, somewhere that Maiden fans can chat about anything Maiden.

    So here it is



    First contribution, wonder what the mystery announcement is at midnight??

    Nice big countdown ticking away on the Maiden website

    It'd be great if they announced their bloody support for Dublin!

    Nice, but i think this announcement will be slightly bigger than just announcing a support band for 1 gig

    I suppose it'll be the release date for either the album or the first single

    Probably the release date of The Final Frontier tbh. Something like that anyway!!!

    But great idea for a thread, as a band as great as them defo deserves its own thread!

    Would imagine it is a release date for the new album or maybe for the lead single off of it.


    Unless of course they are going to have some of the first single to listen to on the site from midnight....

    I wonder if they have it syncronised around the world because if they don't we'll be waiting another 5 hours or so until the U.S. hits 12 a.m.

    I remember it happened with Scars on Broadway's timer. :p

    Sounds like something from the No Prayer album. Dickinson's got snearing tone he had around then.

    Promises to be epic... Loving the album art too...

    Here's hoping the whole album is better than A Matter Of Life And Death which I was not too enamoured with...

    I would have preferred a cover with Eddie instead of a Predator/Predalien lookalike but I like El Dorado so far.

    Not really a fan of the song. let's hope it's one of the weaker tracks on the album. Or maybe it will grow on me. Hopefully it will.

    As for the artwork? If it's not Derek Riggs, it's never going to a classic.

    After listening to it a few times it's growing on me, I just hope Bruce sings the song like a Maiden song live, instead of one of his solo-projects.
    The vocals are a bit dull.
