To sum up my thoughts on the matter: I am sure that the new Iron Maiden album is in the works and these photos were not a coincidence, but not sure this particular meet up was to record anything ;)
I think the new album will drop next year. Bruce himself said retirement sucks, so I don't think he'll be keen on pushing out a release for so long. They may release a live album for their 50th anniversary.
A couple of weeks ago, I read on a Brazilian news website that Bruce made a comment about them recording an album soon. If that isn’t a throwaway line and if most of them are in Paris currently, then the stars seem to be aligning 👀
@@user-bl6ne3hc6n doubt it will be their last album, everyone thought Final frontier was gonna be their last & low & behold 2 albums after it,dont think they will be done until they hit their 20th album
@dynamo4543 I guarantee it is that's why Dickerson is on tour with his own band he's getting ready to do his own stuff there's no way Niko can do another full tour after the next, their going to be in their 70s, one more album and last tour, UNFORTUNATELY TAKE THAT TO THE BANK, 😬😬
I turned out to be a Maiden fan in 2022, so I have never experienced they feeling that a new Iron Maiden album has gone out. Super exciting and I look forward for some new studio album😃 Keep rocking🤟
Thats a great event to look forward to! I have been a fan since 89, but was too young to know a new album would come out in 90. However from 92s Fear of the Dark and onwards it has been a big event for me every time they released a new album! Sitting with the booklet from the CD reading lyrics while listening to brand new maiden songs is super nice! Welcome to the family!!
1:57 Brave New World was also recorded in Paris. And Sensjutsu was recoreded in 2019, but released 2021. Anyway it is to short to record, as they are indeed having holiday break
First saw Maiden in the Cart and Horses pub in Stratford East London in 1976. My old school mate Paul Mario Day was making his singing debut that night. I didn't know that I was part of metal history that night. Wish i had appreciated it more😢😢
@@garymitchell5899 I'd say it was very VERY likely. What is also likely is me going over West Ham to see the Hammers v Newcastle Utd with Steve (Loopy) Newhouse ( Clive Burr's drum tech ) and Paul Dianno. Great day's 😁😁👍👍✌️
If, if they make a new album they should make an old school one; 12 or 13 “short” songs!! Not every song has to be a rime of mariner, but a be quick or be dead is ok too!!
My thoughts: 1. Senjutsu was recorded in early 2019. So it's 5 years of gap since their last recording sessions. 2. Since their last album was released on September 2021, 2025 seems to be a perfect year for a brand new studio album. 3. Late 2024 marks the end of The Future Past Tour, and since Iron Maiden is not a band that likes to be quiet, I guess, since they rarely do a tour after tour without any new music, they should be releasing the new album next year. 4. Unless they take a well-deserved break throughout 2025, I don't see any 'other option' for the band, considering they plan everything.
Is there any chance they might have been getting together to check out some cuts of a new live album? I'm assuming Steve would check with them all in some form. Bit odd so many were in France though! If it's a new album, I'm all in!
I suspect that a new album will be completed before the next leg of The Future Past tour, to be released as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations 👀
Senjutsu was such a great album I kinda hoped it would be the final one to go out on a high. I hadn't enjoyed a single Maiden album since Brave new world and was pessimistic about even bothering to listen to Senjutsu. It's by far my favourite Maiden album in 25 years.
@@richardgardiner6468this is possibly the most pathetic reply i have ever seen. How does liking an album make me gay? Seriously do you have learning difficulties?
Off topic, but does anyone know if when Blaze Bayley comes to Britain if he will be doing the Maiden albums, or solo stuff? It says Maiden albums for Ireland, but doesn't specify for GB.
The BREAK-UP - was difficult to concede. My kinship with IRON MAIDEN has been going on since 1980. My first listen to SAMSON, defo pulled the chair out from under me. Dickinson is our favorite singer and will continue to manifest his style whenever he sings. Go Bless IRON MAIDEN !!!
Where have you seen maiden fans talking about this theory? I wanted to know if this was my post on Reddit. Knowing that Bruce and Leana live in Paris, all 3 members moved to the same city during the same time period, it's hard to believe it's a coincidence
I honestly just don't know how they are going to come up with something new and epic after Senjutsu. How they are going to top that album is beyond me.
If they put the work on they are gonna do it. Senjutsu was done with very little effort. 3 weeks to write 80% of the music and record it. If they want to do better, they will, no worries
@@Jean-tu2pf Thanks so much for sharing your perspective. I think so, yeah. Maiden are studio perfectionists as are Judas Priest and both bands have that reputation but it is interesting how Maiden have approached recordings with unfinished songs and crafted something masterful and artistic from that. Somewhere In Time wasn't even written when it was due so they had only a few weeks to compose it and it turned out to be one of their strongest albums.
@@prehistoricgentlemanbird9131 I thought it was meh to begin with but it grew on me. Such a gargantuan heavy metal record. That said, the new Judas Priest album is much better.
Could it be that they're just there to listen to some songs for a live recording? I mean, at this time, I think I would love to have this tour on record more than a new album, since I won't have the chance to ever see they play Alexander The Great live :(
I always think “ok they’re on tour. When the touring finishes, then they will record new stuff” so, I’m gonna be very patient and just wait for a 100% confirmation.
@@michaeldean7220 Thanks for answering that. It was well known where the other guys lived but Adrian has always been a bit elusive. I know Steve had a mansion in Essex where he lived and recorded for many years (I think they recorded No Prayer, FOTD and X Factor there) before selling it off and moved to the Bahamas. The man does not age.
@@vinaymulukutla358 Janick obviously doesn't mind the cold as he lives in Yarm in the North East. Bruce's Chiswick house is up for sale but looks like he's had to drop the price a bit.
@@michaeldean7220 Jan is from the North of England anyway being from Hartlepool plus he’s half Polish which might explain his tolerance for the cold North. It’s like with Def Leppard (who are reportedly good friends with Maiden). Rick Savage is the only member who still lives in England having never left Sheffield in spite of achieving massive fame and success. The other guys live in LA and Ireland (Joe)
Traditionally, vocals are recorded last, so the rest of the band might be laying down their tracks. I know they've recorded some records live but that might not be feasible with scheduling.
During Covid, Bruce said that he and Steve were working on new writing (Iron Maiden - A Message From Bruce, 30th Sept 2020)… this was AFTER Senjutsu had already been recorded… so they’ve probably been doing work on a new record even since then. Kevin Shirley will be a very busy man over the next year, if I’m right he also produces Dream Theater’s albums and they currently recording a new one with Mike Portnoy returning. So his “world travels” are probably taking him to a few places, which may also include France. Also, Bruce had a 10 day gap in his schedule before the UK part of his tour
I think it's highly likely - he said at his gig in Manchester on the 19th that he would be 'seeing him next week' in regards to Steve (regarding West Ham's loss to Manchester City); a week exactly from this date Bruce has a gig in Paris but he could just as well be meeting him in the UK before he leaves for Paris.. who knows! speculation is always fun
Hey Bro, as You I would love to see another Iron Maiden album soon but I think the reunion has more to do about BruceDickinsons wedding. He married in Paris and then the 12 of May he made a celebration in the hotel that Im working in Saint Tropez. I could not see Bruce or the party because I work in the kitchen but he invited about 70 persons and people stayed up untill late in the night. My Girlfiriend works at the spa and he saw Bruce and the bride in an elevator and exchanged a few words but she isnt a big maiden fan so didnt recognized him. I hope this helps you. Sorry for my bad english.
My friend i think you are possible right, cause out of nowhere today Steve Harris commented positive an oldest post of mine on iron maiden's Facebook, that i was saying: " we can't hardly wait for a new studio album", cross fingers it's true.
Yes they were actually recording the 6th song right now !! I’m here . Anyone wanna ask a question to one of the guys? Cmon let’s goooo were on a cigarette break
@@IanPotts-lv6os10 songs . They sound kinda early days punk ish straight forward lots of riffs almost no harmony though. It’s also tuned in e flat finally . Lots of baritone vocals . Slower bpm on 7 out 10 songs as well. And the 10th one is like 11:45 secs very progy as usual -love it. The guys told me that whatever I seen at the studio to not tell anyone I guess these are my last words
Let's be honest guys, we all know deep down inside us that this is the schedule: (Its possible that they will record this year, but this tells us nothing for the release date.) 2024 - At this moment that we speak, in their website - future past tour 2024 has december dates, that means they might even continue touring beggining of 25, or even later. 2025 - We All want and need a live dvd (especially with alexander the great) and i think its gonna be their last dvd ever so this is gonna be released before the end of year. 2026 - final album to match with groups 50 year anniversary followed by big festivals and perhaps some generic live dvd.
Bruce might only have invited them to see his show in his city of Paris, at the prestigious Olympia ( MAAAAAN i am so frustrated, i wish i could be there )
Compelling evidence. I wouldn't be to shocked if Maiden was recording knowing Senjutsu was recorded back in 2019. But, I don't think 2025 will be dedicated to the future past tour. Maiden has to no further dates will be added to the future past tour. So I think it will be finished at the end of this year. Leaving 2025 to ether a new album tour. Or maybe a 1 year, Ed force one 50th anniversary tour.
Another album of songwriting masterpiece to come? I still hope for the day , when they could do a so called 'B side tour'.... with that massive catalogue of tracks never or rarely played live.... even from those 5 or 6 albums from the '80's
I feel Senjutsu closed an era, started with The Final Frontier, so I think and hope they will do something different, maybe shorter songs and a single disc album. Something in the vein of latest Judas Priest effort? It could be...
### Iron Maiden Recording a New Album Right Now? In whispers borne on fan delight, A rumor stirs the silent night, Iron Maiden in the south of France, Where music, once again, may dance. Nicko’s wife shares scenes so bright, From Monaco to French twilight, A love they mark with thirty-five, Yet fans suspect a tune alive. Then Adrian, with Nathalie, In Provence basked, so casually, A second sighting fans embrace, A clue, perhaps, this is the place. Bruce and Leana join the throng, Their travels hint a secret song, A break from tours, a fleeting rest, Yet whispers say they're on a quest. In storied halls where notes are born, Where legends crafted, records sworn, The band convenes, or so it seems, To forge anew their heavy dreams. Could it be, in France’s embrace, Iron Maiden finds their space? To craft the riffs, the vocals soar, Another album to adore. Oh, fans, in fervor, hearts alight, With hope for sounds that thrill the night, For if the rumors prove to be, We'll revel in their symphony.
Iron Maiden were formed on 25 December 1975. That gives them over a year to write and record their 18th studio album. Suggested title track: The Band in the Iron Masks.
@@IanPotts-lv6os that would be awesome! it's really profound! the age of 60'ish, when our bodies break down, but these guys are still performing at a very skilled rate! Same with lotsa bands out there!
I think they were only vacation, they didn't rent a villa like the Rolling Stones to record something. 😊 They go to the french Riviera like other rich rock star ! I miss Iron Maiden from the old days, more simple and humble.😕
Where is the live Live Concert Blu-ray of the last tour going to be released or of Live at The Wacken 2019 ...they have not put out a live concert Blu-ray in quite a while
just give me an album with 4-5 minute bangers. no more recycled harris epics, PLEASE. drop a 50 min record, not another exhausting senjitsu. maybe an ep.
A new Maiden album would be awesome, but please no second Senjutsu. Just hated all the exhausting, much too long guitar solos on it. Somehow I think, they are not able to write four-minute-songs anymore. Edit: A new album and a possible tour would be a little contrary to the rumor that Dave wants Maiden to retire
What you expect them to be making music like they did when they were in their 20s? I think what they've done the past few albums for being a bunch of 60 somethings and being together for close to 50 years is pretty incredible.
@@robinlove6981 I disagree with lack of creativity. Senjutsu and Souls are better than 99% of the stuff being put out by people half their age, there are some fantastic songs on those albums. Have you actually given those albums a chance?
@@ricklannis6244 yes quite a few times. My issues are around general pacing, tempo and repetition of re-hashed riffs. Not every song needs a 3 min intro, outro and long drawn out solos that are pretty souless. They're some good songs on each album but neither album stands alone front to back. Bruce sounds pretty strained on the book and soul. Listening to his delivery on red and the black is truly horrid. It was a little better on senjutsu but he clearly can't deliver with the power he could even during the final frontier area which I really enjoyed. They don't need to reinvent the wheel but an injection of pace and trimming the bloat would really help
To sum up my thoughts on the matter: I am sure that the new Iron Maiden album is in the works and these photos were not a coincidence, but not sure this particular meet up was to record anything ;)
Hope you are right but Bruce is on tour- not much time to songwrite!
I dont' really care, if they release one more album - then okay.
When I daw Bruce live in Manchester (England) He said he'd "see Steve next week"
@@TheOnemanmoshpitwhat other Manchester is there?
Hopefully Nicko is recovering well.
Long live Maiden! 🤘
They’re dead tho
I hope they do another album 🙏 the stars are aligned.
I dread the time.when Maiden and Priest retire. Keep the music coming.
I think the new album will drop next year. Bruce himself said retirement sucks, so I don't think he'll be keen on pushing out a release for so long. They may release a live album for their 50th anniversary.

Don’t forget that Senjutsu was recorded early in 2019, so they’ve had plenty of time to write some new material, especially over lockdown
And what a shit album that was

(Its possible that they will record this year, but this tells us nothing for the release date.)
2024 - At this moment that we speak, in their website - future past tour 2024 has december dates, that means they might even continue touring beggining of 25, or even later.

2026 - final album to match with groups 50 year anniversary followed by big festivals and perhaps some generic live dvd.
I don't see how they can release a live album with Nicko playing as he is
Thanks for sharing.
Hopefully
Bruce might only have invited them to see his show in his city of Paris, at the prestigious Olympia ( MAAAAAN i am so frustrated, i wish i could be there )

### Iron Maiden Recording a New Album Right Now?
In whispers borne on fan delight,
A rumor stirs the silent night,
Iron Maiden in the south of France,
Where music, once again, may dance.
Nicko’s wife shares scenes so bright,
From Monaco to French twilight,
A love they mark with thirty-five,
Yet fans suspect a tune alive.
Then Adrian, with Nathalie,
In Provence basked, so casually,
A second sighting fans embrace,
A clue, perhaps, this is the place.
Bruce and Leana join the throng,
Their travels hint a secret song,
A break from tours, a fleeting rest,
Yet whispers say they're on a quest.
In storied halls where notes are born,
Where legends crafted, records sworn,
The band convenes, or so it seems,
To forge anew their heavy dreams.
Could it be, in France’s embrace,
Iron Maiden finds their space?
To craft the riffs, the vocals soar,
Another album to adore.
Oh, fans, in fervor, hearts alight,
With hope for sounds that thrill the night,
For if the rumors prove to be,
We'll revel in their symphony.
I can't wait
Iron Maiden were formed on 25 December 1975. That gives them over a year to write and record their 18th studio album.
Suggested title track: The Band in the Iron Masks.
what a wank name ha
I hope there is a new album, but Bruce is on tour and Adrian is recording with Richie Kotzen- so not going to happen immediately.
this might be their final album. i hope not, but with Nicko's health scare a year ago, they might be thinking it's time to wrap it up. UP THE IRONS!
It won't be the last Steve said they would do more albums if they had to cut back on touring
@@IanPotts-lv6os that would be awesome! it's really profound! the age of 60'ish, when our bodies break down, but these guys are still performing at a very skilled rate! Same with lotsa bands out there!
Or maybe a live album ?
I think they were only vacation, they didn't rent a villa like the Rolling Stones to record something. 😊 They go to the french Riviera like other rich rock star ! I miss Iron Maiden from the old days, more simple and humble.😕
Speculation is great fun even if it’s two three years before a possible payoff as evidenced in Judas Priest invincible shield etc etc……..💥🎇🎆
Up The Irons ...🙏
i think they will finish up the tour then announce the album early 2025 then release it mid/late 2025 then tour 2026
That would be cool
Great, another album for people to complain about so I can complain about people complaining about their newer albums.
There all at a wedding guys.
No Kevin Shirley again, we had enough from his bad productions in the past albums. We need someone new.
Yes please!
Can't be recording, Bruce has been yelling at his kid fans for weeks ! Never gonna see Halford doin that shit.
The future past tour 2025 with special changes in setlist, and a new album in 2026,
I hope it's not full of overly long tracks.
playing wasted years,but it says- the writting on the wall (wacken 23)🤔
Copy-paste mistake. Thanks for point it out!
@@MetalPilgrim No big deal...Maiden fans know this is a human mistake we all can make. Hope you ok. in ukraine
Probably rerecording for a live release.
Where is the live Live Concert Blu-ray of the last tour going to be released or of Live at The Wacken 2019 ...they have not put out a live concert Blu-ray in quite a while
What is blu-ray
It's a kind of Fish 🐠. @@daniel69
i dont think there is going to be another album after this tour ends, all is not good in the Maiden camp...
Can't get excited anymore. You've proved everything guys, now take it easy.
So by now I think we established that Final Frontier is far from their final album
Please
Speaking of recording new IM album.... check my message, man! :D
just give me an album with 4-5 minute bangers. no more recycled harris epics, PLEASE. drop a 50 min record, not another exhausting senjitsu. maybe an ep.
Think you'll be disappointed
ok, they need to change producer
A new Maiden album would be awesome, but please no second Senjutsu. Just hated all the exhausting, much too long guitar solos on it. Somehow I think, they are not able to write four-minute-songs anymore.
Edit: A new album and a possible tour would be a little contrary to the rumor that Dave wants Maiden to retire
How can you not like all the guitar solos
Formed 25/12/1975
Bruce Dickinson is on a solo tour so he won't be involved at the moment
Iron Maiden - the most effective sleep aid since 2003.
You could carve that in stone.
Why aren’t you fighting? We are sending you a ridiculous amount of money.
He has to pretend to be excited about metal? Come on
I no longer set that excited after the last two releases being pretty uninspiring.
What you expect them to be making music like they did when they were in their 20s? I think what they've done the past few albums for being a bunch of 60 somethings and being together for close to 50 years is pretty incredible.
@@ricklannis6244 age isn't really an excuse for a lack of creativity
@@robinlove6981 I disagree with lack of creativity. Senjutsu and Souls are better than 99% of the stuff being put out by people half their age, there are some fantastic songs on those albums. Have you actually given those albums a chance?
@@ricklannis6244 yes quite a few times. My issues are around general pacing, tempo and repetition of re-hashed riffs. Not every song needs a 3 min intro, outro and long drawn out solos that are pretty souless. They're some good songs on each album but neither album stands alone front to back. Bruce sounds pretty strained on the book and soul. Listening to his delivery on red and the black is truly horrid. It was a little better on senjutsu but he clearly can't deliver with the power he could even during the final frontier area which I really enjoyed. They don't need to reinvent the wheel but an injection of pace and trimming the bloat would really help
@@robinlove6981 Fair enough
In my opinion, the last album was a disaster.
