    Iron Maiden's management: What went wrong?

    It's hard to determine if anything went wrong without knowing what the band's goals were. Rod is ultimately Maiden's employee, I imagine he's tasked with executing the band's vision. I don't know what that vision is, but I'm inclined to believe he's been successful at executing it due to his...

    Maiden songs everybody seems to like but you dislike?
