    This or That Maiden Song

    Alexander has better moments. Some of the best moments in all of Maiden. But as an entire song? Well the Lyrics are clunky, and the first half is Meh. So this one goes to the song which is constantly good, though never great, the whole way through.. Quest for Fire The Mercenary

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

    I don't have a horse in this.. but I am curious, what's wrong with letting this thread drop to the bottom of the page when there is no news and nothing new to talk about? Why can't it die, and then pop back up when there is news? Why shouldn't we use the appropriate threads for other...

    Best opening to a song?

    I'm shocked no one said Brave New World. Hands down number one intro for me. I love how I can make out all three guitars, and each one builds on the previous and it's just really cool. I always found the intro to Dream of Mirrors was the only weak/clumsy/silly part of the song. I have it edited...

    Dance of Death

    Bergman also had a huge impact on my life. Own all of his Criterion Blu Ray releases, and cherish them unabashedly. I'm glad to hear you made it through a rough season and managed to gain some clarity and passion for what you wish to do/accomplish in the coming years. It's encouraging...

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

    I honestly don't understand Bruce and his voice. Some songs on the album seem so strained, while other songs that are higher sound fine. Than songs that sound strained on the album, sound great live. It changes song to song. Talisman sounds great, Starblind sounds forced and rough, and Talisman...

    Toys-r-us surprise today! Neca!

    I work at Toy's "R" Us. But I'm in Canada. Haven't seen any Maiden figures here, but this year we did start carrying Walking Dead, Halloween, Aliens, Texas Chainsaw, Robocop, and Terminator figures. So there is still hope we'll get Eddie up here. They have slowly been turning the electronic...

    Tournament of Maiden Solos: the Top 10 video!

    Wait, did Jan's in the The Talisman make it on your list of solos we are voting for? If not, I'm pissed.

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

    I always just assumed that "Speed of Light" was an anagram for "Ledges of Pith." That the band was into extreme botany, and this was there way of coming out.

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

    Because there will be a myriad of new reviews, song samples, and information coming out in the following weeks. Remember when just the one sample dropped and there were 5 new pages within a couple hours? Why add the initial Speed of Light impressions to the mix? Plus do we really want these...

    A thousand times this. Especially Bruce's vocals.

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

    My guess is that the review embargo will be lifted on the 14th when the single hits. Then push hard with as much coverage until the album drops, banking on social media, and information going viral. I'm sure Rod doesn't trust the attention span of kids and the longevity of news with how...

    Tournament of Maiden Solos: the Top 10 video!

    Amigos gets my vote. Second would be Phantom, but on this round I'm only voting one time. Got to play the metagame.

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

    I meant in terms of members. Maybe "form" wasn't the right word.

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

    I think the love of Brave New World comes from two places. 1. A return to form. 2. Though repetitive, the songs are catchy and don't require much from the listener. It's an easy album to enjoy.

    Your Maiden blasphemy

    That is really interesting. What I've noticed is people either tend to love it, or are indifferent to it. If you have the time, would love to hear why you consider it the worst. I loved it when it first came out, but am finding it more and more of a mess as time goes on. Still enjoying it...

    War Of Epics: Results

    Sorry.. Was not paying attention. My mind was still blown by the fact that this sub-forum exists. How have I never noticed that till now? I guess I'm just blind. I wonder if new people know about the sub-forums. It's not all that intuitive/noticeable. But then judging by the fact that I missed...

    These are the main four. The rest of the list constantly rotates. Iron Maiden Interpol -------(Check out, My Desire, Next Exit, and Lights) Bob Dylan Wilco-----------(Check out, Impossible Germany, it has my favourite guitar solo of all time.)

    TBOS Predictions

    Come to think of it, I actually like the chorus in rainmaker, just not the same verse repeated 3 times. Plus, as you said. Dave really elevates that song. One of his best! Anyways.. we got way off topic.
