    Your Maiden blasphemy

    Got a couple that judging by some of the responses to Speed of Light should be unpopular for some people for sure lol. I like the production of the past few records. I like the live feel that they are going for. For me the way I consider it is that the band is now older, so they have gone for...

    Your Maiden blasphemy

    I think it is one of the best songs on the album. The guitar work is excellent! And of course everything else about it is top notch as well.

    TBOS Tour Predictions

    It will be very interesting to see what songs they choose to play alongside the new material for The Book of Souls touring cycle. Between the history tours and the reunion songs being highlighted on the first run of The Final Frontier tour they have covered everything but the 90's. Since they...

    Your First Maiden Gig ?

    A Matter of Life and Death- Toronto 2006. I had only been into Maiden for a couple years and was still delving deeper into their music. So it was the first new album to come out for me. I immediately thought it was great so I had no problem with them playing the whole thing back to back. It was...

    Is the current Iron Maiden lineup band's "classic" lineup?

    83-88 and 99-present are equally classic in my opinion. I love all eras of the band, and every album is important (whether viewed as good or bad by people, every album has had something pivotal in Maiden's history) but those 4 studio albums from 83-88 are for me the most crucial. Besides the...

    Your Maiden blasphemy

    I never get bored of The Trooper. Everything about that song is just legendary in my opinion and the reunion era renditions are the best I've ever heard. Don't get me wrong I totally understand that songs like that one need to be given a break every now and then to make room for something else...

    What are your favourite nineties albums and why?

    There was a time when The X Factor was one of my favourite Maiden albums and I still highly regard it. Up until recently it would be no contest that it would get ranked as number 1 of the 90's albums for me. But I've been on a No Prayer kick recently and damn that is a great record! So I might...

    Blaze Bayley, good or bad?

    The X Factor. Better songs, great variety, excellent musicianship and the dark atmosphere is very nice to hear from Maiden. I have always thought that even if people don't like this album, they ought to respect it for its very important place in Maiden's history. Not only for being a Blaze album...

    Five years later: The Final Frontier revisited

    I think this is a really great album with Maiden continuing to try out new things. The only I song I don't overly care for is The Final Frontier. I might even say it is the least interesting/exciting opening song they have ever done in my opinion (Satellite 15 is great fun though). Other than...

    No Prayer for the Dying could have been Amazing

    I absolutely love this album. The only minor complaint I have is the production, but even it is not that bad. Just not up to the par set by the previous albums. I think the song writing is really strong, it's just a deliberately different style. Hell, I even love The Assassin. The only song that...

    Your Maiden blasphemy

    After listening closely to all the Maiden albums front to back recently, I have noticed Steve's bass playing really went downhill after The X Factor. He is as talented as ever and obviously still a great songwriter but the basslines for the past few albums have been very "functionary" and don't...

    New posters! Who are you?

    My name is Jon. I have been reading this forum on and off for many years but only recently decided to create an account with my excitement for The Book of Souls being quite high. I have been listening to Maiden for about 10 years and have been lucky enough to see them 4 times. Cheers!
