According to Classic Rock, IRON MAIDEN guitarist Adrian Smith recently told VH1’s That Metal Show that the band is in talks of working on shorter songs after recording a series of lengthy tracks.
He explains:
On the last couple of albums Steve, Bruce and me have written together, which is a new thing. Steve used to bringing three, four, five completed songs. But now he’s doing more arranging, production, overseeing. We sit down and write, and that’s reflected in the slightly different stuff.
We’ve been writing longer for some reason. Maybe next time we’ll do some shorter stuff – but it’s difficult to look into the future too far.
