    Tournament of Maiden Solos: the Top 10 video!

    Incredibly tough. I love all solos but I went with RotAM and FotD. Different World was VERY close as I love it a lot but alas it will have to be third.

    TBOS Tour Predictions

    I would absolutely love it with all my heart but I really don't see it happening.

    Shadows Of The Valley

    I think this is a fantastic song. Just like every other tune on the album it is energetic, powerful and catchy. I liked it from the start but with the chorus stuck in my head it is growing on me even more.

    If Eternity Should Fail

    This song blew me away upon the first listen and has stuck with me ever since. There are so many great elements at play. I love the keyboard/vocal intro before it kicks into that great groove rhythm and harmony. The verses rock along nicely and then we are treated to some really powerful...

    The Book Of Souls (song not album)

    I have come to the conclusion that this song has one of the very best choruses that Maiden have ever done. There is so much power, emotion and atmosphere oozing out of it! Seeing this one live will be a truly remarkable experience!

    The Book of Souls: General album discussion

    This album for me is a masterpiece. It is a really special album full of things that have already gotten me straight in the heart after only a few listens. I think Maiden succeeded with the "writing in the studio" method. I keep thinking about how fresh and full of energy this record is. The...

    Keyboards on The Book of Souls album

    Absolutely love the keyboard work on the title track's chorus. Really helps build the truly epic atmosphere and power.

    Guitar Solos - The Book of Souls

    I love that there are a bunch of songs that have solos from all 3 Amigos on this album. The most before was Dance of Death with 3 but I want to say this album has 5 or 6 songs. And they also changed up the order of who plays, not just Adrian/Dave, then vice versa and then Janick like usual which...

    #1 Record? Did you do your duty?

    There are no stores near me that had it so I got it from Amazon. It was such a nice feeling to hold a new Maiden album in my hands for the first time in years. And then the thrill of listening to it for the first time, soaking in all the new masterpieces, and enjoying the artwork- so incredible!

    Janick's role in post-reunion Maiden

    Master songwriter, brilliant guitarist and an absolute beast on stage. He is just as vital to Maiden as anybody else and frankly I don't take kindly to anyone that thinks he should have been kicked out of the band. The most common argument against him is the stage presence but I say if it...

    The Book Of Souls (song not album)

    This song leaves me speechless. It is nothing short of a masterpiece. Janick and Steve are geniuses (and of course the other lads for their contributions and playing). That is all I can manage to type at this point lol. Maybe later I will be able to go into depth.

    Best Non-DVD Full Concerts

    That one would probably be my top pick as well. Rock in Rio and Rock Am Ring from the Maiden England tour are fantastic as well.

    AMOLAD songs played live

    My first Maiden show was all of the album live, and I wasn't disappointed at all. Loved the album and I knew they would come back another time to play classics. Every song on this album is top notch for me so it was a nice treat to get to see them all. And it did make for quite the experience...

    Your Maiden blasphemy

    After listening to The Book of Souls for the first time, a small part of me thought "I kind of hope they don't make another album, I don't know how they are going to top this". But with Maiden it is entirely possible to match or exceed it :)

    Virtual XI appreciation

    I think Virtual XI, though flawed, is a damn fine record. The production is overall a little stale, though the guitars are an improvement from The X Factor. I would agree with others about Nicko's drumming, very boring. The Angel and the Gambler had a lot of potential and at it's core is a good...

    Live Recordings

    Those were recorded from different shows I believe.

    Live Recordings

    Rock in Rio has some vocal overdubs where Bruce beckons the crowd to sing and then he still sings. You can tell when you listen to the original webcast. In the liner notes for Maiden Japan they said they used a little bit of overdubs.

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

    I refuse to listen to the leak and I haven't listened to Speed of Light in what feels like a couple weeks (don't want to overdo it before I get the album) so my anticipation is pretty high. Can't wait for Friday!

    Tournament of Maiden Solos: the Top 10 video!

    Oh my god this is a tough one. I'm going to need a few minutes to decide because they are all so fucking good!

    Your favorite Maiden guitar sound

    Piece of Mind, Powerslave, Seventh Son and AMOLAD. They all have such fantastic tones that really add something special to the music.
