Both albums are weak, but The X Factor is weaker.

RIP

My opinion is that the debut is better than Killers indeed, but not by a wide margin, it's still the classic from the 80's and still very good. It's hard for me to imagine NPFTD being better than Killers.

NPFTD over Killers? And the debut 9 spots above Killers? It's strange.

Which quartet of instrumentals is superior in your book? Personally I thinks Metallica wins here without a doubt. All 4 Maiden instrumentals are just good and neither is great, while Metallica has two great instrumentals (Ktulu and Orion), TLITD is good (not great) and Anesthesia is just ok.

Painkiller was by far their heaviest and most aggressive album to date. It terms of heaviness and aggressiveness, none of Iron Maiden albums comes close to Painkiller. I'd easily take Painkiller over three acclaimed Priest albums from the 80's anytime, which sound a bit commercial by comparison...

OK, I could agree on that, but outside of that song their material is generally ass. Joe Walsh wasted his time and talent playing in Eagles.

They suck.

Name me another metal band with three guitarists.

But anyway Steve is the "boss" or leader of the band. He makes the main decisions regarding the band.

Who decided that he should stay in the band? Bruce or Steve?

Maybe a controversial statement here, but I think Janick is a redundant member of Iron Maiden. Maiden just don't need 3 guitarists and as a player he is simply not as good as Adrian and/or Dave.

I absolutely agree about Gangland and QFF. How about Heaven can wait? It's generally regarded as the least favorite from SIT by fans.

Man on the edge two tiers above Fear of the dark? That's controversial as hell.
