I really like NPFTD. It was the current Maiden album out when I got into them. The first album I ever listened to was Seventh Son but once I started getting into the band and buying their albums I never remember at the time thinking that No Prayer was poor album. I’d already heard bring your...

If Steve really likes NPFTD then the rest of the band must absolute detest the album as apart from bring your daughter to the slaughter on the give me ed tour in 2003 they haven’t played shit off that album in decades! Very disappointed that RFYL was advertised as from iron maiden to FOTD and...

November 1995, Brixton Academy, London on the X-factour. My dying bride supporting. Fantastic show. Was already a big fan of my dying bride and hadn’t seen them live yet so was excited to see both bands. Thought blaze sounded great and never really had an issue with him singing the older...

This has got be the strangest opinion I’ve ever come across from a fellow maiden fan. Don’t get me wrong I’m not knocking your opinion I’ve just never met anyone that would class the first 4 albums amongst their least favourites. All power to you and it’s nice to see a different opinion to...

I’ll be honest with no new Maiden album I could be done with seeing them live to be honest. I’ve been fortunate enough to have seen them a lot over the last 3 decades since my first time in 1995 and at this stage I have no interest in seeing them touring the same old songs over and over again...

Forget my previous comment about EddFest. Just copied this from the official website from an announcement they made in Feb this year about the 2 dates in Japan in November: “And now, the band are returning once more with their spectacular new production, to perform for the first time at the...

When EddFest was announced wasn’t it explicitly stated that this was the last chance to see Maiden in the uk until 2028. I’ll have to check but I’m sure they said something along these lines and if it did I can’t imagine them playing any shows with no uk date at all. From what I remember even...

I’ve watched it now and reading your post I found your recollections very different to mine. For one I thought the documentary made it very clear at numerous points that not only was it Steve’s band but that he was the main driving force that has pushed the band throughout the years. Also it...

My opinion couldn’t be more different. Don’t get me wrong I love BNW and think it’s a tremendous album but right from the off I could tell some of these songs had been written before Bruce and Adrian rejoined. DOD on the other hand sounded way more fresh and powerful to my ears. It truly...

Executive producer credits don’t mean a person had any involvement in the actual product. Executive producer is just a made up title anyway, it’s usually used to credit people who have a financial interest in the product either as a backer or just someone that is entitled to receive payment...

Very true.

Another thief. This is one of the reasons why some bands like Maiden don’t release dvds/blu rays anymore because they know theirs a huge amount of people out their who think they are entitled to watch and listen to stuff for free. Don’t worry about the hard work the band puts into stuff and...

No I never did torrent. I firmly believe that artists should be paid for what they create. I don’t care if iron maiden are millionaires, to me that just means they’ve created a product that loads of people want so good for them. I never used torrent and never pirated anything, music or films...

lol, no. If you wanna watch it buy it. Don’t ask people who’ve already bought it to upload it on YT so others can watch for free. All kinds of wrong.

Has anyone seen this? I’ve ordered one as a little birthday treat to myself as it’s released in December just in time for my 50th in December. I think it’s quite nice. Not sure how much I’ll actually wear it as I have a few much more expensive watches I normally wear but its still a nice...
