    The best run of 3 Maiden albums from the 80's?

    Any of the latter 3 really. Let's say: Powerslave - SIT - SSOASS.

    Poll: The weakest 80's Maiden album?

    I think it's just the style of the songs, but Murders and Genghis Khan have no proper solos (the intro of the album has), while songs like Another Life(!) and Purgatory have really short solos. If I have to compare the debut and it: There is no song like Phantom, a league of its own. Remember...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

    True that, and I suppose there was a reason Hills was used as an encore song in the 80's (probably because the chorus has words), but Trooper's melody and single cover are some of the most iconic in metal. During the 90's they become equal, I guess. Speaking of the song, I'm not enjoying the...

    Poll: The weakest 80's Maiden album?

    Every 80's album is at least 8/10, so weakest is wild to say - but I think Killers overall material can't be compared with the standouts from the rest, although it's a unique album and Wrathchild and the title track are classics. Also, no real epic. According to the band, they used the weaker...

    Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

    I kind of like how it looks. I like the black Strat better not with the original pickguard. This. It will become Dave's main guitar again?

    NOW PLAYING

    New single from Dirkschneider & The Old Gang - Strangers In Paradise. The album will be released in October, but so far they almost release it all with singles! I guess it's a decent ballad with beautiful verses and cool double electric and acoustic solo from Mathias.

    Name your fave three songs from the reunion era yet

    It's impossible, but: 1.The Wicker Man 2.Out Of The Silent Planet 3.Hell On Earth A symbol of the Reunion, one of my favorite choruses, and one of the most emotional songs with golden melodies/chorus. Rainmaker is up there too.

    Maiden or Maiden-related physical media wish list

    Your comment reminded of this good interview with Janick from 1998, in which he said they have wrote a lot of material for the VXI album, but only chose 8 songs. We know the BNW songs, I'm curious to know or hear some of the others. Maybe someday. Btw, his favorite songs from the album to play...

    A fun event shirt, I like it. Thematic too. It reminds of the the 80's ideas.

    Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

    I will always associate this guitar with Trooper (the red Ibanez too). Or TCW era. I wonder if Adrian would have used these guitars if he was on tour with Bruce. Jackson KV? Or no, like with SK. Let's hope the book will have interesting stories along with the guitars photos. I really want to...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

    Bruce during Killers with a bit of his 1982 voice for one tiny moment of the song (4:20)... just wow! :notworthy: This is just a great live song, why it's been forgotten since 1999, I have no idea. Btw, all of his screams for it over the years, without in 1988, are strong. 1982 are brutal.

    Maidenfans Best Albums of the Millenium: 2000

    Ok, let's get started. An easy round for the 2000 albums: Brave New World - my favorite Maiden album. Resurrection - Halford pure metal is very strong and very solid. Rob's vocals and the heavier approach are the real deal. Great! A worthy follow-up to Painkiller, so. Only 2 weak songs...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

    It's better for the song to be without the intro for an opener. They played it live in the LAD version. I think it's because that's not Maiden's thing. Maybe for the final tour? Blaze could have been invited, but they didn't play a song from his era. Odd 50 years celebration, I have to say...

    A surprise. For the first 4 songs? I hope he won't drop the black Strat.

    BTP cover - 31 years later! :) With RFYL stage costume, like he did with TFP. Probably from the new remix's booklet?

    Thread of utmost sincerity & positivity

    Thank you very much for the kind words @Azas :). I hope I deserve them and I think the same about you. Also, you are the master of the art mind, to call it, and vision (which I share) for mystical album arts and songs.

    It's simple, they're still thinking and wanted to see how Simon would do. People need time, but there will always be criticism, preferences and comparisons when he plays Nicko's songs. Simon playing on a new Maiden album is very curious, he might bring a different approach, but I don't want...

    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    Agreed with both (I still want to hear stories about the SJ songs). Maybe Steve's secrecy (as usual with Maiden) is a sign that the next step is a new album, although he openly talked about it in 2018. It's logical. Let's hope so. They can find time if they want to. Maybe they're deciding...
