Requested concerning the causes for his exit from the group, Dickinson mentioned (as transcribed by Phoosi.com): “Actually, I used to be as stunned as anyone else. I do not assume folks actually believed that on the time. I simply thought that if I stayed with MAIDEN eternally, all I’d study was what it was prefer to be in MAIDEN. And to be able to be taught what it was like exterior MAIDEN, you need to depart, as a result of, until you left, no person would take something that you just did critically. It will all the time be, like, ‘Oh, bless him. He is doing a solo report. Let him have his enjoyable after which he can return to being in IRON MAIDEN.’ I hated that. So I assumed, ‘Fuck it. I am going to simply depart.’ And [people said], ‘What occurs in case your [solo] profession would not work out.’ And I mentioned [it’s] higher [to take a chance] now and do one thing else together with your life than sit there someplace in fantasy world and find yourself simply grumpy.”

“Nicely, all I wanted to know was that we weren’t gonna come again as some kind of a reunion-type factor,” he defined. “I did not need to return to the previous. This was gonna be about placing a band collectively that was looking forward to the long run — to do a terrific new album and to actually restart the entire impetus and course of the band. And Steve [Harris, MAIDEN bassist and leader] mentioned that is what he needed to do, and I used to be, like, ‘Okay. Let’s do it.’ And, in fact, the primary album we got here out with after that was [2000’s] ‘Courageous New World’ — I believe among the best MAIDEN albums that we have ever carried out.”
