    News 18th Studio Album discussion

    Yeah I have to agree with the recent posts. We all know that Maiden is on borrowed time and with Nicko stepping aside now we don’t know how long we have left with the band. With that in mind I do wish the band would focus more on a new album rather than devoting all this time to side...

    Cart and Horses

    I was was thinking of popping along to the cart and horses when I bought my tickets for the London gig but now I doubt I’ll bother. With the London stadium only a 10 min walk away and 60k+ maiden fans in town I really don’t fancy queuing for hours. The place is gonna be rammed.

    Maiden songs everybody seems to like but you dislike?

    I’m not a fan of blood brothers. I always skip it when listening to BNW or any live album it’s on. It’s not a terrible song by any means but what really puts me off is the absolute cringe fest that Bruce spouts off every time it’s played live. This whole thing about “we are metal brothers, we...

    The pop-ups are making this forum near unusable

    I can’t use an ad blocker on my iPhone as it’s also used as my work phone and an ad blocker stops some of my work apps opening properly. Pain in the backside as the ads on this site are just full blown ridiculous now. I hope the mods are all Rich now from the ad revenue as they better be after...

    Ed Hunter

    They did used to put some great effort into some cool things back then. I did another fc trip to Paris in 2004 to watch the early days dvd tour. That was another great trip. Also remember the FC convention the day after Metal 2000 at Earl’s Court. Think that was the last convention the band...

    I really like both those tracks :)

    Ed Hunter

    It was a bit of a kick in the teeth for the uk to be honest but at least the fan club put on a good trip to see the tour. I mean I can’t complain that for £150 I got picked up by coach in my home town, travel to Paris and an overnight stay, gig ticket then travel to Rotterdam, another...

    Maiden songs everybody seems to like but you dislike?

    I know it’s the complete opposite of the thread title but it got me thinking about songs I really quite like but seem universally despised by most of the fan base. The first 2 that sprang to mind were invaders and the apparition. When I see these songs pop up in threads it’s usually when...

    I was picked up in Harlow. Handy for me as I was born and live in Harlow and I believe Steve Lazarus who was running the fan club at the time also lived in Harlow as the postal address for the fan club was Harlow.

    Ed Hunter

    I feel very lucky to have seen the ed hunter tour as it never hit the uk. I went on a fan club trip and saw the gigs in Paris and Rotterdam. I remember in the press something was said about how the band were pissed off with the uk, particularly the press, about how they reacted to the band...

    Ed Hunter

    Even for its time ed hunter was a complete turd. I remember being so disappointed when booting it up. Asa gamer I was looking forward to this a lot but it was just poor. There is a video on YouTube where someone discusses the making of melt and why it was scrapped and the video has footage of...

    Nicko McBrain retires

    Maybe maiden are planning a boxset for the 50th anniversary and Nicko is helping put that together along with recording another listen with Nicko to go with it. Fingers crossed :p

    Future past…..live album

    If they can put out legacy of the beast live with all the sound problems that had I’m sure they could put out a future past live package and it would sell well. Loads of bands are still putting out decent packaged physical products and Maiden has a built in fan base that would lap up not only a...

    Future past…..live album

    Yeah I’d like one. Bruce sounded amazing when I saw them and from Some of the YouTube clips I’ve seen he was consistently good most of the tour. The band sounded great with only Nicko slightly off but that’s fine to me. There’s too many great songs on this tour that aren’t on a live album...

    Future past…..live album

    We’re now into February and nearly 2 months after the last date in the future past tour and no news yet of a live album. Does anyone think we will actually get one? I was sure we would get one but as time ticks on i’m starting to doubt it. The new tour starts in less than 4 months and I would...

    News 18th Studio Album discussion

    Saxon springs to mind. Ok they aren’t as big as Maiden but they’re a lot older (biff is 73 and still singing well) and they do big tours and play some decent sized venues. They’ve released 10 studio albums during Maidens reunion years (roughly every 2 years) compared to Maiden releasing 6.

    Most overrated Maiden album?

    Give it rest will you. How many more times can you keep going about accepting other people’s opinions, it’s getting very boring now. As a few others have said, whether you like run to the hills or you think it’s total garbage that’s the subjective part. One man’s treasure is another man’s trash...

    Most overrated Maiden album?

    Nonsense calling RTTH filler. As has been pointed out it was the lead single released over a month before the albums release. Fine if someone hates the song and thinks it’s shit, just use another term to describe it. Filler songs are where a band needs one or two extra songs to fill out an...

    Most overrated Maiden album?

    You’re right, I guess hate was too strong a word. I guess I can accept, but disagree, if someone thinks NOTB is overrated but then you yourself went on to trash the album saying its full of filler and has 3 of maidens worst 80’s songs! If that’s your opinion fine it’s all subjective but that’s a...
