That article is nearly 2 years old man. The news about Dio not being in game was announced way before it was released. I haven't got a fucking clue why that article is on the front page again.
There is a Brutal Legend 2 coming out, but that article itself is old as fuck. Even the trailer is from the first game.
It's not low because Dio wasn't dead at the time. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by hellrider 31038 from Thursday, June 10, 2010 8:14:09 PM)
they should all say they dont want any part of it unless they keep Dio,s caracter alive Edited at: Thursday, June 10, 2010 8:15:36 PM

Yeah that's true Kiamat, they will probably alter the setlist from time to time. I just hope when they come to NZ it's during a time when Craig is actually in the country, poor dude is missing out on Metallica now.

I think it will have been totally changed by then Becks- the new album will be out by the end of this tour and they'll have some more tracks from that.
I know during the last tour a lot of people were going on about the lack of newer stuff being played live, I guess they can't please everyone, but still, I AM surprised at some of the omissions- No The Trooper?
I would go see them live with this setlist, but if you haven't caught them on one of their recent 'Greatest hits' type tours, yeah it sucks. I could accuse them of this being a marketing ploy, but, hell, I'd feel bad. I think they do it because they genuinely get bored of playing the classics.

IRON MAIDEN: New Album Details Revealed - June 7, 2010 *cough*badalbumcover*cough*
The European release date for IRON MAIDEN's much-anticipated new studio album, "The Final Frontier", is now confirmed for Monday, August 16. The CD features artwork (see below) illustrated by Melvyn Grant and, to mark the occasion, the band has made special arrangements for one new album track, "El Dorado", to be made available worldwide as a FREE digital download MP3 with immediate effect via www.ironmaiden.com. The song can also be streamed in the YouTube clip below.
Singer Bruce Dickinson explains, "'El Dorado' is a preview of the forthcoming studio album. As we will be including it in the set of our 'Final Frontier World Tour' (which opens in Dallas on June 9) we thought it would be great to thank all our fans and get them into 'The Final Frontier' mood by giving them this song up front of the tour and album release."
The band reunited with long-time MAIDEN producer Kevin "Caveman" Shirley in early 2010 at Compass Point Studios, Nassau to record the album and then moved to The Cave Studios in Malibu, California to finish the recording and do the mixing. Compass Point Studio is very familiar to the band, it was where they recorded the "Piece Of Mind" (1983), "Powerslave" (1984) and "Somewhere In Time" (1986) albums.
Bruce comments: "The studio had the same vibe and it was EXACTLY as it had been in 1983, NOTHING had changed! Even down to the broken shutter in the corner... same carpet... everything... It was really quite spooky. But we felt very relaxed in such a familiar and well-trodden environment and I think this shows in the playing and the atmosphere of the album."
30 years on from their eponymous debut album in April 1980, "The Final Frontier" will be MAIDEN's 15th studio album, making a remarkable average of a new album every two years for 30 years and totaling over 80 million album sales during this period.
"The Final Frontier" track listing (total running time 76:35):
01. Satellite 15....The Final Frontier (8:40)
02. El Dorado (6:49)
03. Mother Of Mercy (5:20)
04. Coming Home (5:52)
05. The Alchemist (4:29)
06. Isle Of Avalon (9:06)
07. Starblind (7:48)
08. The Talisman (9:03)
09. The Man Who Would Be King (8:28)
10. When The Wild Wind Blows (10:59)
"The Final Frontier World Tour" begins in Dallas on June 9 with 25 shows in major cities across the USA and Canada, playing to an expected 350,000 fans or more. Following this the tour will ship over to Europe starting in Dublin on July 30 and playing a few selected major festivals and stadiums , finishing in Valencia, Spain, on August 21 and including a concert in Transylvania.
Says bass player and founder member Steve Harris: "We're hugely excited about this tour. I think the fans will really like the brand new stage production and lights and we will also be debuting one of the new album tracks , 'El Dorado'. Our Texan fans will be the very first people anywhere to hear it live, so it will be interesting to see their reaction and how it goes down with the crowd on the night! Eddie has changed a bit for this tour but is possibly the most outrageous one to date... I can't say too much about him as don't want to spoil the surprise but I guarantee he will scare the hell out of you!"

It's alright what they released. But the length of songs are far too long. It's like they are going back to the experiment days again and repeating from A Matter of Life and Death.

They've gone and done exactly what I had hoped they wouldn't do and released a fucking long album. This is gonna be hard to get into. El Dorado didn't sound too bad though. Might try and get a download of it. Gay cover by the way. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Vaillant 3.0 from Tuesday, June 08, 2010 12:03:27 AM)

IRON MAIDEN: New Album Details Revealed - June 7, 2010 *cough*badalbumcover*cough*
The European release date for IRON MAIDEN's much-anticipated new studio album, "The Final Frontier", is now confirmed for Monday, August 16. The CD features artwork (see below) illustrated by Melvyn Grant and, to mark the occasion, the band has made special arrangements for one new album track, "El Dorado", to be made available worldwide as a FREE digital download MP3 with immediate effect via www.ironmaiden.com. The song can also be streamed in the YouTube clip below.
Singer Bruce Dickinson explains, "'El Dorado' is a preview of the forthcoming studio album. As we will be including it in the set of our 'Final Frontier World Tour' (which opens in Dallas on June 9) we thought it would be great to thank all our fans and get them into 'The Final Frontier' mood by giving them this song up front of the tour and album release."
The band reunited with long-time MAIDEN producer Kevin "Caveman" Shirley in early 2010 at Compass Point Studios, Nassau to record the album and then moved to The Cave Studios in Malibu, California to finish the recording and do the mixing. Compass Point Studio is very familiar to the band, it was where they recorded the "Piece Of Mind" (1983), "Powerslave" (1984) and "Somewhere In Time" (1986) albums.
Bruce comments: "The studio had the same vibe and it was EXACTLY as it had been in 1983, NOTHING had changed! Even down to the broken shutter in the corner... same carpet... everything... It was really quite spooky. But we felt very relaxed in such a familiar and well-trodden environment and I think this shows in the playing and the atmosphere of the album."
30 years on from their eponymous debut album in April 1980, "The Final Frontier" will be MAIDEN's 15th studio album, making a remarkable average of a new album every two years for 30 years and totaling over 80 million album sales during this period.
"The Final Frontier" track listing (total running time 76:35):

I think it sounds a lot more like Bruce's solo stuff than Maiden's recent work. It'll be interesting to see how it fits into the rest of the album. Meanwhile I'm continuing to try and download the mp3- its taking forever and this is about the 4th attempt. Guess the website must be swamped.
And yeah, good music but why the hell have they got Melvyn Grant back on board? They should have had Tim Bradstreet again, if AMOLAD is anything to go by, he'd have done a much better job. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Becks from Tuesday, June 08, 2010 12:38:28 AM)

I agree, the song is ok. Doesn't make me excited about the new album though unfortunately.

Thanks for the info Vail. Not sure what to make of that song. Someone needs to tell them to stop making 7 + minute long songs! That song could easily have been half the length.
