Buckle down.

WANT. I have all full-lenght studio albums except three of the four 90's releases and it's one of the only band from which I will regularly listen to entire albums without skipping any song. I also saw them live in July 2012 and it was one of my favorite show ever.
Also no matter how long they have been around, they still managed to continue releasing awesome albums 30 years later and even their worst albums (pretty much everything from the 90's) still manages to be enjoyable sometimes. I can't wait for the new album.
Oh nice, a new album, can't wait to check it out. Yeah, that's what's nice with Iron Maiden, they're still good and even their worst stuff are good. Also I hope Bruce cinson recover well enough to tour soon.
Pretty excited about it as well. It's cool to have some bands survive the 21st century musical debacle. :P
Indeed. Nowadays though most bands survive off merch and tours. They can no longer survive just from album/song sales and especially not streaming. Plus the other issue is that many bands that used to be good can no longer release any good stuff.

Yes. I truly can't wait. I hope the style is like the preview song in general.
hmmm, sounds good.. :P

I know Don Henley only has like one youtube video of a song of his out there O.O
Maybe because his label or himself are extremely uptight about music sharing? Some artists, labels or movie authors are really bad when it comes to taking down videos.
Yeah, I once snuck in to one of his concerts and he explicitly said no photagraphy or videos.
Nowadays most concert venues can't really enforce no photo rules because many people got cellphones and they couldn't expel half of the audience. Although it might be better because it's annoying to watch a concert with like thousands of bright phone screens in front of you
So they released a single out of the album. :D

They still make games, it seems
Oh yeah, I've heard of this but the game didn't run when I tried it. Stays stuck on the loading screen. Apparently it's the DK-like from the video.
Edit : ah lol it's my ad blocker. :P
I can run it with an ad blocker? :P
Yeah I have extra blocking lists enabled. :P
What does extra blocking lists do? Does it block any special script or applet? Anyway the game is fun but on mobile devices it's very hard to control the character movement.
It's better on desktop, but there is no sound in Opera D:
I enabled some lists that block social embeds like Facebook like or tweet buttons.
Oh right. I only have 1 custom block and it's to block SAX shoutbox on Cemetech (via Adblock Plus)
Anyway I wonder when Maiden will announce their tour schedule? Because I can't wait :D (I also hope they consider doing a trip where you live so you can have the chance to see them again)

Tour is for 2016, sounds awesome.
Yeah I know that. I was more curious about the exact dates :P (which will most likely be revealed soon). I need to plan my purchase ahead because the tickets will most likely sell extremely fast compared to Motley Crue.
I finally bought the album! :D
I didn't get the vinyl package as planned, but I got the special edition CD album that looks like a book. http://www.ironmaiden.com/thebookofsouls/img/dlx.jpg
At first I was worried the HMV store didn't have it in stock or sold out, but they just put the albums in a different sections.
Wow nice. I still need to figure out where to get it. Maybe I'll get someone to buy it in France and bring it to me when they come over (my grandparents are coming in two weeks).
To keep me waiting, I downloaded the album in FLAC, and I must say it is awesome. High level Maiden right there, Speed of Light was merely an appetizer. :D
Are there music stores in your country? Another solution for you would be to buy it online but that might be more expensive.
And yeah I liked what I heard so far. I didn't have time to listen to the last three songs yet, though. Pure maiden stuff so far (even more than Final Frontier)
Also they reverted back to the logo they used from 1980 to 1995. :P
They are slowly unveiling tour dates now :D, and they have given an idea of where they'll be heading next Spring. They'll tour Canada during the first two weeks of April and from May to August they're doing a big Europe tour :D

Oh nice, seems to be a rather nice world tour here. Can't wait to see which towns they'll visit.
I hope they didn't plan to play at Colisée Pepsi in April, though, since they'll prbly have removed most seats and stuff by then. :P
In fact some Metallica fans think some people will steal seats to bring them home once the concert tonight is over
So I finally got it. :D

I already know the album though since I downloaded flacs the day after the released and have been listening to it.
Glad to see you got it. :D Also it looks like you got the book version of the album like me, although mine looks different (it doesn't have the yellow label at the bottom)
That's just on the plastic sealing, one you take it off it looks normal.
Oh ok, I thought they started doing that region-specific BS like with video games.
Lol no, thankfully they don't do that.
On a side note, I wonder if they'll do it with Japan? Many power metal bands releases different versions of their albums in Japan that have tracks not available anywhere else in the world, not even online. They do that because in Japan everything is much more expensive than elsewhere, so Japanese people buy online instead. By adding exclusive Japan material, it's an incentive for people to buy locally instead. But it sucks because everyone else get screwed over. Sonata Arctica is very notable for this.
THEY ARE COMING TO QUEBEC CITY FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!1!1!!1!!!!!1 *.*

Since it has been 5 years since they came here I am unsure if I will be able to get tickets in time. Probably gonna sell out fast unless people decide to wait to see what the Summer Festival will offer (since the show overlaps with it like last time).
For some reasons the band ignored Quebec City during their 2016 tour but they added a 2nd North American leg now. If it sells out fast I hope they add a second concert.
NICE. I'm jelly.
I got my ticket by the way. It's on the sides of the stadium, not the floor, because the general admission section (the floor) sold out in under 5 minutes. However, since I only bought 1 ticket I was lucky enough to have a very good seat since pairs of two seats were usually in the nosebleeds.
