Topics you would like to hear Maiden cover

[Connor19]

What topics/ideas/stories that Maiden hasn't covered would you like to see them do songs about?

I've always thought that they could make some cool songs dealing with the Harry Potter series.

 

[Night Prowler]

That'd be cool. Song called The Philosopher's Stone with a chorus of "You're a wizard, Harry!".

 

[Mosh]

Maiden still owes me a song about King Arthur.

That seems more like a Blind Guardian area...but then again, Harry Potter is as quintessentially British as fish and chips.

They're English, right? I want a Paschendale-level epic about the Battle of Hastings. I want them to take Harold's side: the rightful king usurped by Fat Billy Bastard.

Hockey

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

War & death.

A song about fish and chips.

Yes, but there have been empires of considerable size under the rule of pastoral élites. Ruled by guys such as...

Some evidence indicates Megabyzus wasn't a pastoral ruler, he just tripped over a shovel.

Adrian should definitely write a song about angling.



(Actually, I bet he's written loads, they just get changed into songs about brothels and war and stuff by Steve while he's out of the room).

Hooks In You

Writers: Dickinson, Smith

 

[Yax]

People running to the hills.

Yeah. That was about angling.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Smith may have come up with the title and Bruce took it from there...

This was around the time he was also writing the Adventures of Lord Iffy Boatrace...the themes are not so surprising then

 

[Stardust]

I'd like an song about an actual Iron Maiden. The title track is not one of them.

Explain.

The lyrics are ambiguous regarding the specific means by which the blood is caused to fall upon the floor. I have never considered it to be specifically caused by an Iron Maiden.
