None . Their only cover that i can stand is "Cross Eyed mary" , which is absolutely amazing and sounds like a song straight from POM .

Huge eighties' Mercyful Fate fan . They were absolutely brilliant from their first EP until they broke off . When they reunited they just weren't the same band , IMO . I used to love solo King Diamond when i was a kid (and i was blown off watching him live in 1990, still have the t-shirt ), now...

Iron Maiden are in a league of their own . For me it is " Iron Maiden and the other bands" Anyway: Black Sabbath (with Dio) My Dying Bride Judas Priest Dark Angel eighties' Slayer Hellhammer/Celtic Frost . Motorhead

I don't trust that site . It seems like VGChartz to me . Again no way they sold 100k in the rest of the world . There's so many countries (some of them big like Spain and Italy) where TBOS did good . That's 100k in around ...what 50 countries , at the very least ?

This is the one Maiden story that puzzles me , being a fan around 30 years . I understand why every member replacement occured except this particular one . Clive Burr seemed like a really nice guy , he was a monster behind the kit and a member of Maiden in both Dianno and Dickinson's era . Does...

First week :U.S+U.K+France+Germany+Australia = 215k. I really doubt that TBOS sold just 100k in the rest of the world that includes some maiden strongholds like Scandinavia and South America . You underestimate Maiden's worldwide appeal .

Hated everything about that period . The "back to the roots" attitude was silly because the album NPFTD didn't support that and had nothing to do with the "roots" of Iron Maiden . Secondly going from the majestic SSOASS tour (and album) to the NPFTD period was painful for anyone that was a...

Everybody that was young in the eighties remembers A-Ha. They were huge at one time , like Duran Duran huge . They even wrote a song for a Bond movie , the living daylights .

He writes the most classic Maiden sounding songs in each post reunion album . GOTN is the best song in BNW , Montsegur is a great heavy metal anthem , The pilgrim is a very good old school Maiden rocker , The talisman is classic Maiden like it comes from SSOASS and TBOS is also classic Maiden ...

It's so nice to see IM breaking the trend of reduced album sales each year . They have built a fanbase through hard work (touring) and good albums, just like in the eighties , with no help from mainstream media , well except for lady gaga's comments !!

1) if eternity should fail 10 2) speed of light 7 3) the great unknown 9 4) the red and the black 9 5) when the river runs deep 9 6) the book of souls 10 7) death or glory 10 8) shadows of the valley 10 9) tears of a clown 10 10) the man of sorrows 9 11) empire of the clouds 10

That is amazing, need to check out this band ASAP .

Yeah this is the curse that pantera brought in metal, this american style of stupid "bro" lyrics with an influence from the southern U.S combined with a downtuned guitar sound that has no melody whatsoever . Fortunately this movement died around 2000 and most traditional metal bands abandoned...

Meh bought it for the bluray and I regret doing it . Another bad slayer album . The only good one in the last 20 years is "Christ illusion" . Now they have , for whatever reason, returned to the DIM/GHUA days with the fucking horrible downtuned , "heavy" guitars that were popular........in the...

Meh at the U.S number . Quite bad, expected much better .

No , that's not how sales' charts work . Each copy of the entire album is counted in the numbers , not each cd separately or each vinyl record separately .

Well they made their bed , as far as success in the U.S goes , and threw away all the good will from the world slavery tour . I actually love SIT , just saying that it was the wrong album at he wrong time .

Eh , no "into the pandemonium" was accused of being a very "soft" album and a "sell out" by CF . People had no problem with thrash metal , in fact thrash metal was booming at the time with a ton of phenomenal records getting great reviews (remembers the 6k in Kerrang's review for F&J's debut ) .

Heh, so happy that it seems that i was right . The U.K number is HUGE . Doing POM numbers (the successor to TNOTB that had made Maiden a household name in the U.K ) , in this day and age, is phenomenal , astonishing . I hope for 80k in the U.S , the early estimates usually underestimate the...

Had something like TBOS been released in the eighties it would have been ridiculed by journalists and , probably, hated by the fans . The metal community in the eighties was extremely close-minded and thus albums like Celtic Frost's "into the pandemonium " were seen as soft and wimpy . If you...
