Fear is double, Book is triple.
Light and Sorrows very good on Book, but there's a whole lotta tedium going on everywhere else.
Fear's lightweight but fun so gets my vote.
Piece of Mind – one hand tickles brain, the other punches face!
Killers – youthful vibrancy with a little experience.
Powerslave – golden logo for a reason.
The Final Frontier – out of the box brilliance.
Seventh Son – great songs.
No Prayer – dirty, don’t care attitude.
Iron Maiden – classic...
Beast to Powerslave.
Had to include POM and PS, and whilst not a huge fan of neither Beast nor SIT, Beast on the Road was far superior to Somewhere on Tour. Plus 1982 going forward was very exciting whereas 1986, from a Maiden standpoint, wasn't as much.
That was fantastic.
Thought Sabbath would start with Black Sabbath after the bell intro but, alas no. It's such an iconic sound that can only be replicated by these four guys. It's the only downer for me but it's a biggie.
Iron Maiden: classic
Killers: power
The Number Of The Beast: pop
Piece Of Mind: prog
Powerslave: peak
Somewhere In Time: synths
Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son: songs
No Prayer For The Dying: masculine
Fear Of The Dark: feminine
The X Factor: dry
Virtual XI: wet
Brave New World: spring
Dance Of...
SIT. On the old board especially. I seem to remember it was mostly highly rated by Americans. I think the band's profile was raised over there around that time, with LAD about.
Played BNW recently and was impressed, bar Dream of Mirrors which sounds like a Blaze era track.
About spontaneity; I assume they have a click running to keep in sync with the screens. Maybe just on those songs with more complex visuals.
Hopefully that's all they use, but pitch correction would be tempting. :confused:
