it'll probably be someting like The Number Of The Beast single. I hope they put something new on it
Sounds strange to me..
The Trooper to promote the DoD-DVD?
Would have fit better to "The early days"-DVD...
Yes, but as a single, it's way easier to sell that any newer stuff.
And since the release happens in the middle of the Eddie Rips Up The World Tour, this might make sense.

hmm, do we really need another single release? First the number of the beast and now the trooper...
next up in the line are 2MTM and Wasted Years I guess... They can do all the other after that, maybe get a number one spot with Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter in 2009...
I guess I'm just a wee bit disappointed...
You shouldnt be. For cyin out loud Maiden release new stuff all the time. DOTR tour CD/DVD coming in august. So what if they re-release yet another old single. They have to constantly aquire new fans as well as satisfy the old ones. This doesnt bother me at all.
i think it`s great that maiden is releasing old singles..so that the kids kan take part in the great adventures of iron maidens music!!
btw: the trooper rules!!one of the finest maiden songs ever!!
Maiden!!ill see them in about 50 days!!I can`t wait!!
Excellent, i'll be getting that if it is released 
ARE MAIDEN PLANNING ON RERELEASING EVERY FUCKING SINGLE FROM THE 80S ??!!
shameful! No excuses... it's just SHAMEFUL.
Shut up gor.....all maiden are doing is looking at the past and going ohh i liked that era why not realease a couple of songs from it.......why is it shameful...huh?

like it won't have a mention and picture of the following dvd on it? HA!

By constant rereleases they capitalise on old fans and look like the geriatric ward to the could-be new fans, who therefore move to greener pastures

like I said, spare me the excuses, especially the lame ones
Well, everybody's opinion...
I think there could be some new stuff being released - but as they try to promote the upcoming tour (or not), it's OK with me.
I'm looking forward to another item in my collection

All maiden are doing is looking at the past and going, "ohh we could make even more money out of that!"
THAT's a shame

So you're one of those who'd buy a Maiden dildo, right?
yes definitely I would - should I order one for you too? 
[right][snapback]104421[/snapback][/right]
Sorry, mate. I'm not a collector
but you can buy some - wait for years - sell them for a giant amount at ebay :rofl:
Indeed a good idea...
But I'm not like Maiden, my current aim is not to become disgustingly rich on the back of arseholes who'd buy anything from me just because it's me. 
Thats Mav's christmas present sorted!
Iron Maiden are just trying to satisfy the new fans and the old fans. They are probably thinking that older fans would be upset if they would release new stuff and newer fans would be upset if they would release old stuff only.
It's tough to satisfy everyone

I think I kind of just said that earlier.
Its no big deal. I dont buy everything they sell. I didnt buy the stupid looking Eddies Head boxset, for example. Wasnt impressed with that one and probably will never get it.
And the re-released stuff isnt majorly exciting either, but I`ll probably buy the Trooper part duex anyway.
Its not necessary and its not overly exciting, but as a collector I like adding stuff to my collection. A new release is a welcome edition. I'd rather they release singles such as this than go for 2 years without releasing anything. I understand where a few are coming from though, its raking the money in, but to be honest, I dont really care, i'm getting something new for the collection, end of.
It could also be the promo single for the forthcoming 'Death on the Road' DVD/CD to be released on August 29.

According to Rafa Basa, the promo single that EMI Spain are going to launch will include the original version of the song and a live version from the forthcoming "Death on the road" live album (Link).

Interesting. Will wait a while before making a new news headline: I want to know if EMI Spain is the only one to propose this promo this summer or if other distributors/labels across Europe will also think of it.
Thanks GoC !
Cheers

As far as I know, it will be just a promo release to celebrate the Iron Maiden show in Spain.
