Back in the days of the "official" Maiden forum, I used to see many Janick appreciation threads from the small contingent of supporters there. The hate was borderline vitriolic but his fans, myself included, have been proven right with time. The man's passion and song crafting ability are...

I kept it chronological. 1. Strange World 2. Purgatory 3. Total Eclipse 4. Still Life 5. Mariner 6. Caught Somewhere in Time 7. The Clairvoyant 8. Public Enema Number One 9. Judas Be My Guide 10. The Unbeliever 11. Como Estais Amigo 12. The Thin Line Between Love and Hate 13. Paschendale 14...

No, but I'm thinking their hope is that Maiden fans who haven't already purchased the album online may seek out retail outlets to pick up a copy. On the way out, or on the way to the album, they may pick up impulse items or general goods during their visit. It's kind of ingenious if you think...

If you're not gonna buy the new one straight off, I'd go for Somewhere in Time. Hunt around on eBay for an original CD press, it's worth it.

The Apparition I can find something to like in basically every Iron Maiden song, even if I don't like the track as a whole. This is the only one I can honestly say that I hate.

Why not the whole thing?

Thanks! As much as I'd love to hear a collection of strong, fast paced songs from the band, it's time for me to accept that they're past all that. I'm loving their more longform work here, and always have, so if that's what they're going to pour their creativity into I'd personally rather them...

Reposting from the Maiden Chat thread. As I'm wont to do whenever a new Maiden album comes around, I'm here to pop out of the shadows, spew my opinions on it, then fade into the great unknown after about ten posts or so when my enthusiasm wears off. Enjoy, lambaste, or ignore at your leisure...

Will do, thanks.

Ditto. As I'm wont to do whenever a new Maiden album comes around, I'm here to pop out of the shadows, spew my opinions on it, then fade into the great unknown after about ten posts or so when my enthusiasm wears off. Enjoy, lambaste, or ignore at your leisure. All my thoughts are in spoiler...

Ugh, watching that video is always heartbreaking. Up until Final Frontier, Brave New World was my favorite album, but it always gave me a headache. Same with DoD and VXI. If any albums in Maidens back-catalog ever get complete remixes and remasters, these three are the absolute top candidates.

Re: Satellite 15....The Final Frontier It's not a defect exactly, you're just hearing where the drum-loop starts over. That's actually what clued me in that it was a drum machine rather than Nicko.

Close, that's when it started though. I'm gonna put it in spoiler tags to protect the innocent.

Just saw the video, and I'm pretty impressed. A long time ago I had to accept that crappy CGI was going to be a recurring trend in Maiden videos, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that this wasn't so bad. Did anyone else catch the Indiana Jones and Alien references? Nice touch. All around...

I don't know about that. It's true that Bruce has lost a lot of his higher register, but his full voice is still very strong. I don't see why he couldn't pull off a more than respectable rendition of Highway Star or something. He certainly has more than enough voice for it, plus he can still do...
