    How bad is the wait for you for The Book Of Souls

    The wait just got a little easier. I start ten days of vacation tomorrow, and I bought an Xbox One today. So I think I am good.

    The Official Book of Souls Tour 2016 Thread (Warning: Spoilers within!)

    I bought tickets for both Vancouver and Seattle for the Somewhere Back in Time tour in 2008, but ended up selling my Seattle ticket. I feel like the same would happen this time around if they do both. Be excited, get tickets for both, at some point realize I need money, and sell Seattle.

    It's sickening how underrated Lord of Light is

    Approach People often feel very strongly on religion, and spirituality. Where you stand on these things can have a huge effect on how you view your existence, and your worldview. In a lot of ways, it really can help define you. So it makes me sad when people are dismissive, condescending, or...

    It's sickening how underrated Lord of Light is

    Nomad, I would just walk away at this point. For the record I agree with you, but this has become less about interpretations of the song and more about agendas/religious debate, and people are coming across too defensive for any sort of thoughtful discussion. At least in my opinion.

    "The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

    1. Book of Souls (Gers has the best song on three of the last four albums.) 2. The Great Unknown (Reviews are giving me the Brave New World vibe; my favourite Maiden song.) 3. The Red and the Black (At the very least, it will have some brilliant moments.)

    Your Maiden blasphemy

    Well, I guess hate was a strong word. I shouldn't have said it like that. I think I phrased it strongly because of how strongly it is loved. I grew up in a conservative Christian household. And although I've drifted a fair bit from that, the lyrics and the aggressive tone in Bruce's voices, is...

    Your Maiden blasphemy

    You and I could not disagree more on this one. But that's okay, I mean this is the unpopular opinion thread. For me, Jan's solo on The Talisman is top five of all post-reunion solos. As for other unpopular opinions. I hate Moonchild I don't think every Maiden song needs a solo. A perfect...

    A Matter of Life and Death Dissection

    Your two least favourite songs from the album are also my two least favourite, and your top three are also my top three. I think that makes us BFF.

    Your Listening Arrangement for Book of Souls

    Probably just lounge in my chair with my headphones on.. no food, no drinks, perhaps a confetti cannon.

    Tournament of Maiden Solos: the Top 10 video!

    Quest for Fire and Ghost of the Navigator. I know we're not supposed to rate the solos based on how well we enjoy the song, and I'm not, but I can't help but take into consideration how well the solo fits in with the rest of the song, and when Janick's solos on the songs he's written, well it's...

    A Matter of Life and Death Dissection

    There is a nice simplicity to Brave New World, it's great to have on in the background while doing other things. It's catchy, the songs are good, it doesn't require a lot from you. For that reason it's my favourite album, and the one I play most. Compare that to AMoLaD. There is a certain...

    As far as albums with repetitive choruses, why does Seventh Son get a break?

    I don't complain about the chorus of Fear of the Dark, Seventh Son, or Caught Somewhere in Time, because I don't like any of those songs to begin with. The choruses having nothing to do with the reasons I dislike them. I've often used No More Lies, and the longest Day as examples, because for...

    First Maiden song heard

    Technically it was Number of the Beast, because the song was in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4, though at the time I did not know it was Maiden, and it would take me a couple years to actually get into them. It was 2004, I was asking a friend over MSN Messenger about any new music I might like. He sent...

    As far as albums with repetitive choruses, why does Seventh Son get a break?

    I don't like Seventh Son (the song), the chorus is the least of that song's problem, at least for me. It's actually my least favourite song on that album. As for the chorus to that song, maybe people think the music makes up for it? People seem keen on those solos. And as you said, the first...

    Band Members Favorite Maiden Albums?

    I think AMoLaD is Nicko's favourite. SiT is definitely near the bottom of Bruce's list. He has no song credits, and wanted Maiden to go in a different direction at that point.
