The Book of Souls (10/10) the best song ever, along with Dance of Death Shadows of the Valley (10/10) The Red and The Black (10/10) Empire of The Clouds (10/10) If Eternity Should Fail (10/10) The Great Unknown (6.5/10) Speed Of Light (6.5/10) When the River Runs Deep (6.5/10) Death or Glory...

When I was in the USA in 2019, I saw them in New Jersey. It was my first, and to see my favourite musicians live was an amazing feeling. Sadly, the terrible sound mix that night was disappointing. Dave's guitar was so high in the mix, Adrian was audible, whereas Janick's guitar was almost...

From the 80s, song-wise, nothing beats Children of the Damned for me. But as an album, Powerslave is much better than TNOTB. SSOASS is equally good, but Powerslave has my vote only because of Dave's magnificent solos on the title track.

I would rather choose a song that I like for each instrument or that I think shines the most in the song: Vocals: The Talisman Guitars: Dance of Death, The Parchment Bass: Running Free Drums: Where Eagles Dare Acoustic Guitar: Journeyman Synths: Seventh Son of a Seventh Son Piano: Empire of The...

Same discussion goes on under the Thread "Which Iron Maiden albums Iron Maiden likes?", which is more appropriate, I guess.

KUDOS to Nicko for picking AMOLAD as number 1, and putting the reunion albums at top spots. Happy to know a band member likes the reunion songs (so do I) more than the so-called classics. I wonder how the setlist would have been if Nicko had chosen the songs to be played in RFYL tour :) .

After overlistening to Senjutsu for about 4 years, I switched to other stuff this year. For the last 6 months, I have been listening to Megadeth's final album more than anything else, and I attended one of their concerts last month. As for Iron Maiden, I am picking up a couple of songs to listen...

Even though there are some songs that I don't like at all (especially from the 80s), I don't think IM has ever recorded a song just to fill the gap on a record. This is not how IM (or Steve Harris in particular) works. As far as I know, they always had more than enough material to work on, and...

Janick (not Jannick) Gers by far. His songs are the ones I get most excited for on every album release. I don't care if he recycles intros or riffs, most of the songs co-written by him are fantastic, with 4 of them in my personal top 7 IM songs. 1.The Book of Souls / Dance of Death (cannot...

Thanks Wickerman 1204! That interview brought my hopes higher for a new album.

100% agreed. Sadly, never played live. One of the forgotten gems in the extensive IM catalog.

Guitar harmonies is a trademark of the Maiden sound, and I like them a lot. There is hardly any that sounds bad to my ears. Childhood's End is one of the best on that matter. I can count at least 30 more, and in some cases I find them as the best part of the song (eg. The Time Machine, Dance of...

Why does everybody think Simon will play the drums on a possible new album, when Nicko was retired from touring only?

I like all the reunion albums a lot. Another one is always welcome, and I don't care who mixes it, really. Give me a new Gers/Harris epic PLEASE!

I have been to both shows. Setlist-wise, Legacy was better. However, I enjoyed RFYL much more, to be honest (maybe because I was closer to the stage this time, I don't know).
