In
1999, Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith rejoined British heavy metal
legends Iron Maiden for a world tour, reconvening arguably the most
infamous lineup (plus one) of the greatest heavy metal band of
all-time. The following year, it was announced that an overhauled
classic Iron Maiden would issue a studio album of all new material.
Whatever on Earth could new Maiden with Bruce Dickinson back at the
microphone sound like? After all, these guys were, like, old now.
