Bruce Speaks: Maiden Breaking New Territory in Album, Promises Biggest Stage Set Ever for 2008 [UPDATED]
Bruce first talks about the writing and the recording process that have led to 'A Matter of Life and Death', and also goes into more details about his voice performance.He mentions that 'Brave New World' didn't break into new territory, while 'Dance of Death' did in some regards. Some of it worked, some of it didn't, but it paved the way to 'A Matter of Life and Death' which he's really proud of but will take at least a few weeks for the listener to get into.
In other news, it seems that Bruce's record company signed a 3 album deal with him, so it's not the end of his solo career !
Talking about his own music, he even mentions that he might probably create the soundtrack of a movie he's writing the script for. This project will go ahead next January.
After talking diplomatically of Paul Di'Anno (stating that he's making a living the best he can -by singing- and that no one is confused between Maiden with Paul and Maiden with Bruce anyway), he shares some interesting thoughts about producers, namely Martin and Kevin.
But what will certainly stir Maiden fans around the world is that Bruce announces that 2008 will probably see the biggest Maiden festival tour ever !
The Powerslave stage set will be rebuilt. And it might even be a bit bigger !
It means that the History DVD part II is coming soon. We learn it will cover 4 albums.
Listen to the whole thing on MP3 or by streaming it (asx file)
Note: the interview is missing the questions, so don't be surprised.

So Iron Maiden will play many songs from " Powerslave" "Somewhere in time" "Seventh son of a seventh son". Only from these great albums,to support the next dvd "history of iron maiden pt.2" due in late 2007. Wonderful ! Up the irons forever !
The DVD for the History Of...part 2 will be out at the end of 2007.
Hopefully when he says big tour he also means big as in complete US tour!
