I'm going through (most) of the known bootlegs that we have access to. Currently at the World Slavery Tour (Three more bootlegs left!) and yeah, the amount of fuck ups was much worse at times in the past. Not only that, many of the mistakes were much worse than a bit of timing issues and there...

Guess we'll have to agree to disagree then! I don't think a song having soft parts or being melodic disqualifies it from being heavy metal.

Not sure I agree with that. SSOASS: Sure, you have stuff like CIPWM, which is pretty poppy and straightforward, or TETMD, which is highly melodic. But there was also stuff like Wasted Years on the previous album. There are plenty of songs on the first three albums that lack aggression. On the...

AMOLAD DOD BNW Senjutsu TBOS TFF

95 to present, by a landslide. SSOASS and FOTD are the only albums in my top 5 from the first era, the rest are from the second. Even the top 10 is mostly dominated by the second era. There are great songs in the 80s albums, but the reason why Maiden are my favorite band is their 90s and...

Yeah, it was basically an open secret that they recorded Senjutsu.

Even then it's not as excessive as many other instances of repetition in their catalogue. It keeps building the intensity, until all energy is released in the frantic instrumental section. I guess people are only paying attention to the lyrics and ignore the build-up? He starts out with a...

DLTTEOAS not only has one of the more unique and interesting instrumental breaks in a Maiden song, it also feautures two brilliant solos. Y'all are crazy if you genuinely think that's the worst solo Harris song.

:) :( :mad:

Hopefully they'll release it as a live album at some point then.

For the record, while VXI is my favorite album and I love the songs to bits, you'll never catch me defend the production or Nicko's phoned in drumming! But as for your overall point, I agree that Nicko's retirement makes another album a lot more likely. Simon has energized the band and I think...

Man, still being a kid after 20 years sounds rough! :D Jokes aside, hilarious story. Thanks for sharing!

The inclusion of Invaders makes this an easy one.

Probably talking about what Bruce has mentioned before, where they thought about recording another album prior to the release of Senjutsu. There were travel restrictions, so some would have had issues with that, and I believe some wouldn't want to "dilute" Senjutsu's importance by overshadowing...

You mean replaced by Wrathch- wait, shit.

How was the London show? Any obvious mistakes/problems? Would love to finally get a new live album.

Another video by Bruce:

While only one of those is in my top 5 (AMOLAD), that's actually a pretty great representation of the various styles Maiden went through. You cover a lot of their stylistic changes with those four albums.

I actually didn't know that, makes sense. Never really looked into it. Thanks for the information!
