Theyre not masterpieces but I like plenty of the songs on them

It would never have been produced that well. Blaze would never have sounded that good. It would have been produced in Steve's home studio and all the songs would have pointless intros and repetition.

Blazes voice was outrageously good in the 2000s..listen to as live as it gets

Any of the new Maiden tracks you'd fancy singing? "I quite liked 'Futureal'. When the singer writes a track the melody is a lot more singer-friendly. Some of Steve's songs are a bugger to sing because the words are incredibly awkward. You want to leave out half of them, basically."...

Does anyone have that interview? I vaguely remember it and Bruce was basically saying how refreshing it was to sing lyrics written by (another) singer rather than Steve "shove as many syllables in a line as possible because I'm not a singer" Harris.

This song is very VXI, even Nick drums incredibly straight on this one

Futureal is still the second best short rocker Maiden have done in the last thirty years btw.

Paschendale has a bit in that key "blood is falling like the rain" I think

Sure it might have delayed the Virtual XI tour slightly but I do think Steve should have been made to do at least 3 months community service for the crime of writing this song.

He'll be okay I'm sure

The opening song is still the most boring thing they've ever done. Outside of one or two moments on poor ol' Virtual XI

Always felt bad for Blaze that he was a good 5-10 years younger than the rest of the boys in the band and he was the one obviously heavily balding to the extent that he had to wear a hat for the Virtual XI tour. Yeah Steve's hairline had crept back a good few inches but he still had the same...

In no order Final Frontier Book of Souls Senjutsu Virtual XI Fear of the Dark

I'm a fan of this era but... Does this song have the flattest chorus of their career? Love the verses and pre chorus though Edit- October Listening through headphones I love the chorus and the double tracked vocals now

Somewhere in time CSIT E Wasted E Sea E Heaven E TLOTLDR E SIASL E Deja F Alex E Quite uniform (if this is accurate), and yes this has no impact on song quality as this album is of course better than Virtual XI. Deja Vu, like Don't look to the eyes of a stranger is in a very odd key for...

Well listening to stuff like the educated fool, it does just keep going E C G D over and over or E G C D. Would have been nice to at least do the traditional key change to F# for a solo or something

It's their greatest album too

I was just thinking... Virtual XI is quite interesting in the varied amount of keys each song is in. From what I can tell- Futureal E Angel Gambler A Lightning Strikes B Clansman A When Two Worlds B Educated Fool E Stranger G# Como D Especially when some albums like AMOLAD is nearly all in...

He was a lot better in 95 and 98 than 96

In fairness to the guy I've seen him do perfectly respectable to very good versions of the following maiden songs live on his Maiden tours Futureal Man on the edge Sign of the cross Clansman Afraid to shoot strangers Edge of darkness Fortunes of war Blood on the world's hands Sanctuary...
