Let me add another! Infinite Dreams, I never liked the intro all that much so it was usually a skip for me. Was jamming to 7S on the way home from work the other day and really listened to it more closely. It may have broken my top 15 on that listen, whew what an awesome song, I love how it...

The Aftermath! I really, really like the intro guitar riff. Its simple but powerful, similar to my new found interest in Where Eagles Dare. Sign of the Cross has a great, great, great instrumental section. Also, Justice of the Peace on the B-Sides record is quickly becoming a new favorite, love...

This is so crazy. I was so excited for the new album, and I've never seen them live and had told my wife next time they came to the USA I was going to go see them come hell or high water or bankruptcy. I'm so deflated, becalmed at sea with nothing in sight. Ugh, this makes me sick to my stomach...

Last year was a big dive back into metal year for me. I had put away my electric guitar in favor of my acoustic for, oh maybe 8 or so years. I completely missed out on Dance of Death, A Matter of Life and Death, and The Final Frontier. That said, I really didn't like DoD the first spin. At...

I never really cared for this song, I'm not sure why really now that I look back. I haven't been able to get this song out of my head the last few weeks. It is straight forward, but it is just a great song. Glad I finally warmed up to it!

You really think they haven't experimented much? Some cool stuff in SiT, more cool stuff on SSoaSS, then all the recent more progressive style. Yea Metallica played with an orchestra, and entirely changed their sound for several albums, to a hard rock vibe. I like Metallica for sure, but I don't...

I'm big on 22 Acacia Avenue too. That one gets a bunch more praise from what I've seen, but still an overlooked gem. Love the chorus in it! Charlotte's guitar parts are pretty unique to me, they layer so nicely together, and that bass line has to be one of Steve's best. Iron Maiden's with the...

That is a really interesting way to look at Aces High. I've never considered that until now, but I can really envision the mood even without the lyrics there. Can you think of any other examples? Brighter than a Thousand Suns kind of does that for me too, the song sounds like a bomb.

I'll second Judas Be My Guide, wow, one of my favorites. Just a great tune. Also can we undo TAatG as a single? I actually like the song, but if you're gonna choose a super long song it may as well have been The Clansman. I would have preferred Lightning Strikes Twice, Two World Collide, or...

I listened to Paschendale 5 times in a row yesterday. Better each time, what a song. I was going through some articles online about the Battle of Ypres and reading some of the comments from people on here who had family fight in the battle. Getting some more background details definitely took...

I don't dislike any album from Iron Maiden. Since I started with Powerslave it took me longer to get into Paul, and I've been on and off with Blaze, but really digging TXF and VXI now, especially after hearing Best of the B Sides, lots of great Blaze on there. Especially like Justice of the...

Think I mentioned this in another thread but my Dad, not a heavy metal fan in anyway, brought me home Powerslave one day, randomly, around 1996? He is a trombone player and loves Chicago and their ilk, so it was a shock for him to get this for me. I asked him about it the other day and he just...

Although, the Offspring - Americana was my first album and the one that got me to want to play guitar. My dad brought me home Powerslave one day outta the blue and they for sure became my favorite. My favorite band for sure, best ever? For me, probably so, I love guitar melodies/harmonies/solos...

Love this song! 10/10. For some reason, Maiden's repetition never seems to bother me, and I could listen to the guitar tone on this song for days. Also Janick and Dave's solos in this are maybe my favorite pairing in any Maiden song. I really like Blaze on this song too, sounds great during the...

Wow... I really thought it was, "Join my quest for fire..." Drawn by? Wow, mind blown indeed.

Thanks so much Saapanael, I'm gonna plug in and play around with those settings as a starting point. I've managed some pretty good tones for the earlier albums, but they've done many more nuanced tones in the more recent stuff.

"Everybody's got their vice."

I'm new here, so I'll give a quick introduction. 29 years old been playing guitar since I was 12 because of Powerslave. My dad brought the disc home for me from a used record shop, and I still to this day have no idea why because he never listened to anything metal, and neither had I before...
