Re: Daily Song: Isle of Avalon This song would make an excellent ad for a cell phone company. "I can hear you, can you hear me?"

Forostar, I was actually thinking of you while writting the post--not because you are playing with fire, but because I agree with the way you are approaching this. You have been careful, but are also very educated in the composituion of Maiden stes. My point has not been "let's spoil it for...

Re: Daily Song: The Alchemist I am one of those who strongly prefer Maiden's old style, but I don't hear it in The Alchemist. I do however hear it in El Dorado (and even to an extent in The Talisman). The Alchemist is a very typical rocker of the 2000s era, and few of these songs (Rainmaker...

The most metal athlete of all time is Roman Turek who was a goalie for the St. Louis Blues in the NHL. He had Eddie on his mask. http://pucksandrocks.blogspot.com/2010/07/eddie.html

My complaint is with people who don't want to be spoiled, spending a lot of time on a thread clearly marked spoilers, and as Snake Pilsen mentioned, the spoilers are annoying and perhaps a little out of hand. It's like not wanting to see boobs, but going to a strip club anyway.

Re: Daily Song: The Alchemist This is Iron Maiden going through the motions. On paper it has everything to be a solid song, but the execution is just not there. Initially I absolutely hated this song (as in one of their worst ever) but I have come around to tolerate it, especially the strange...

All of the lists are interesting and no doubt any songs they choose would be great to hear. Of course Maiden would never do this because they don't want to be a "cabaret act." The one time they did do it (two really Prowler '88 and Charlotte the Harlot '88) the results were a bit disappointing.

Judas. Sitting in the government! Evil Priest (Death Angel) vs. Evil (Mercyful Fate)

Would prefer studio versions, but I'd also be all for the most recent live tracks idea, as long as the tracks were: 1) Strange World -- some of the more psychedelic parts of Starblind make me think this would be cool 2) Prodigal Son -- really want to hear Bruce on this track 3) The Prisoner --...

Don't Stop Believin' King of Twilight  vs.    Childhood's End (Maiden)

Not to mention the fact that I just accidentily misspelled "spolier" in my last post, so yes, to answer your question it is that hard.  ;)

Come on, you (we) are all obsessive Iron Maiden fans. If you can't predict what they are going to play with 90% accuracy you are doing something wrong. Am I Really spoiling anything by saying they aren't going to play on this tour or EVER?

Re: BEST VOCALISTS EVER GAME! Elimination - Group 1: Round 1 Really? Whether you like Faith No More, Tomahawk, Mr. Bungle, etc. it's pretty much a given that Patton's got a great voice. Although the vote for Ozzy does redeem you.

Re: Iron Maiden Album Survivor TIEBRAKER Get rid of both. Whichever survives the tie-breaker will surely be gone next anyway.

I'm sick of the lazy attitude that Maiden has. These rich clowns just sit around for years while we wait for them to tour every couple of years and put out albums whenever the mood strikes them. It was 4 years between AMOLAD and TFF, but 4 years, 5 months between Iron Maiden and Powerslave. They...

Re: Daily Song: Mother of Mercy I'll go with an 8 on this one. Really like, although it seems more like an AMOLAD song to me. The way "mother" explodes out of Bruce's mouth in the chorus is quite effective. In fact the drama of the lyrics throughout matches quite well with the music.

Re: Best vocalists ever I listen to all sorts of stuff, probably a lot less metal than most people on here.

Re: Daily Song: El Dorado To the derisive scorn of almost everyone else on here, this is seriously my favorite post-reunion song. I was initially confused by this song when it was released last summer--not sure what to think, but it keeps getting better. From the Heart-inspired riff, to the...

Wasn't that Jim Morrison's defense? That it was his finger that poked through his jeans in Miami, not the real thing, girl?

Re: Daily Song: Satellite 15.. The Final Frontier Kind of harsh, don't you think? That dude is stranded in space! ;)
