If you've ever seen Iron Maiden live, you know to expect a pretty wide range of material to be played. Even up to the brand new stuff. Of course, there will always be core groups of fans who want to only see the old stuff, and to those people frontman Bruce Dickinson has this to say – "That's tough. In that case, don't come."
In an interview with Fortune, Dickinson says he's less than interested in simply becoming a legacy act. He adds that he feels by becoming a legacy act, you're depriving fans of something and pretty much just taking their money.
"If you take advantage of them, as in you serve up the same old thing every single tour, you can expect some of them to walk away. That is just a band becoming a karaoke band. If you're not doing new music, why bother? We don't share the idea that going and doing stadiums, playing thirty-year-old songs, is a success. It's just making money."
Plus, who the hell doesn't want more Iron Maiden albums? The Final Frontier and The Book Of Souls were awesome!
