I'd like to see The Iron Maidens put out original material along with the covers. Do The Iron Maidens foresee putting out an original Iron Maidenish type CD someday?
That's interesting. I know a Misfits tribute band here in San Fran where I live called Plan 9 that did an all original CD as if the Danzig Era Misfits never broke up.
While it sounds nice on paper - i don't think it would make financial sense in terms of all the time effort and cost put into it.
Same reason why classic rock bands put out a new album, it barely sells and when playing - people just want to hear the old stuff.
Nita, Liz, Heather and many others have been in other acts, I wonder how many here have purchased their music?
If you're really enterprising, you could license 1 track from all the members solo acts (including phantom blue) have a "music of the maidens" type CD (get legal permission first) and see how it sells.
