IRON MAIDEN Singer To Begin Work On New Solo Album - Dec. 16, 2003

IRON MAIDEN frontman Bruce Dickinson will get together with guitarist Roy Z in January/February 2004 for a songwriting session for a possible new Dickinson solo album, the singer revealed (Windows Media) during a Dec. 2 signing session aboard a specially chartered Dublin-London flight filled with MAIDEN fans. Dickinson's last solo album, "The Chemical Wedding", was released in 1998. A two-disc "best of" set followed in 2001.

Very very good

 

[Seventh Son]

'bout fucking time

 

[Spruce Goose]

I wonder if Adrian will play on it?

 

[Blitzkrieg]

This is AWESOME news! I hoped he would get right onto this now that Maiden are gonna take it easy, and starting Jan/Feb next year it sounds like he will. I am excited.

 

[Nightwing]

Yeah, cool news.
He won't have to try very hard to beat DoD.

 

[spawn]

But he will have to do something utterly brilliant to beat The Chemical Wedding

 

[Mark]

I hope they don't use the same old tuned-down RoyZ sound, though... Not that it's bad, just that it's been copied so much since CW.

Here's some even better news:

EUROPE: New Album, Live Shows On The Way - Dec. 17, 2003

Reunited Swedish hard rockers EUROPE have posted the following message on their official web site:

"Hello everyone! We are currently writing new songs and it's beginning to sound really good, and we have found a producer we like. The new record will be recorded in the beginning of next year. Can't wait for you to hear it! We are just about to start booking our concerts, and looking very much forward to seeing you on tour next summer.

"In the New Year we will give you more info. Have a great holiday!"

EUROPE last performed together on New Year's Eve 1999 when they reunited to play two tracks ("Rock The Night" and "The Final Countdown") in Stockholm as part of a live television event that was sponsored by Sweden's biggest media company Kinnevik.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Whilst that might be good news, it isn't better than a new Brucey album.

I like the sound they had on the 2 new tracks on the best of (Silver Wings and Broken), kind of a cross between Maiden and the Roy Z sound, which suited very well.

I think DoD is great, so if Bruce can top that, or come up with something just as good, I will be one happy fan.

 

[Southy]

Brucie and Roy Z= fuckin'

 

[Shannow]

Brucie and Roy Z= fuckin'

Yep, that about sums it up !!

 

[Winmar]

Broken and Silver Wings are bloody great, and if the new stuff can be anything like that I'll be more than happy.

Why can't Maiden get a specially chartered London-Australia flight? Bastards.

 

[phlogiston]

"Logistics", Winnie, "logistics".

 

[spawn]

And isnt Rugby great!

 

[Bucko]

Maybe Bruce could tour solo ...........well with the rest of his solo band that is

 

[Spiff]

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Bruce toured Oz.

 

[Bucko]

that would be nice but it would'nt surpise me he did'nt .................

 

[Blitzkrieg]

There is much more chance of that happening, as they do lots of smaller venue gigs than Maiden. Also, Bruce has said he wants to tour here, so if thats true I don't see why he couldn't come himself.

That said, he probably still won't...

 

[Goreripper]

Well Bruce came down to promote "BNW". Maybe he could come by himself, and get the Dungeon guys to act as his band for a small scale tour. They could play at the Forest.

 

[spawn]

I reckon Bruce would go close to selling out the Forest Inn.
