I always felt like Blaze could have delivered a great version of Fate's Warning.

I love it. I love the delivery too. "Paaaaaper Kniiiiives!" And the instrumental breakdown with the synths. Love it.

Fair enough, but no bad tracks? My opinion of Face in the Mirror is that it's the most insipid, bland, boring, lacklustre unmemorable "song" that he's ever recorded. It sounds like something Ozzy would have done with Kelly. After he was dead. (Which reminds me, one week sober! Well done John!)...

Broken and Silver Wings are better than anything on Mandrake, and one of them is another song about planes.

Wow! I'm the polar opposite. My opinion is that the album feels like what it mostly is - a collection of unused material from over a period of years. The change in Bruce's voice, with his unfortunate slight lisp and drawled annunciation on the most recently recorded tracks (especially noticeable...

Exactly, the average middle aged tea-time watching Englishman isn't going to have heard of Here to Eternity outside of the Burt Lancaster film. I would argue the only songs that have gotten into the mainstream consciousness in any way would be Hills and Trooper. I wouldn't even put Beast up...

Taking a back seat here now, as the negativity is overwhelming.

Nobody got the Angel song, but the guy did know the video clip was Be Quick! The other guy who got the 3-in-10 also won. There was a question about BYDTTS on another show, I think it may have been The Hit List.

On Pop Master TV, a British television version of a radio quiz show, Iron Maiden has featured twice in the Mix Tape round (one audio clip of TAATG unbelievably, and one video clip of BQOBD), once as a general question, and once as the 3-in-10 final round. That's just from my personal watching of...

That's me out of this thread. Enjoy the rest of the tour, folks.

Which I'm guessing is what the visuals were built around. There's a lot of unnecessary "criticism" in this thread. I don't mean you, by that.

Would have loved The Parchment! Death of the Celts is one of my least favourite songs.

If you change the arrangement, the music and the lyrics, is it really the same song? If a bear shits on the pope and no one is around to see it, did it make a sound on the moon?

OK, a tough one, but here's my no-Blaze era bottom five in no particular order: Iron Maiden The Assassin The Apparition The Fugitive Tears of a Clown I'm really surprised at the hate for Darkest Hour. I get it if you don't like Churchill, that's fine, but I think it's a fucking great song.

You do realise this is worst, right? :bigsmile:
