I just discovered this today, Some guy redid St Anger in 2015 Sounds 1,000 times better than the original. This is actually listenable. With the original I cannot listen to the whole album in one go, actually I very much struggle to listen to just one entire song from this album. But this take...

As far as I understand it Maiden were getting very popular, and Bruce was a very different singer, I'm sure he alienated many established fans. I still come across people pining for Dianno.

Many people consider Floor to be better than Tarja or Olzon

Iron Maiden replaced Paul Dianno with some guy that seemed to do pretty well with them.

I'd also want him to mix it up with the concert setlist more. The usual culprits occur at most of the tours, would like to see more other songs. Like perhaps make a rule that a song can't be played on three tours consecutively and that they need to play two songs (other than from a new release...

Perhaps. But at the time that just was a horrendous hire. Get a guy that can't sing your hits, your back catalogue. I have no idea what he was thinking on that one. Hard to respect him for that decision. But on the other hand, Anthrax hired a great singer in John Bush, Judas Priest hired a...

Not replace Bruce with Blaze. That was his biggest mistake by a long way. Make sure he gets someone that can sing the range that is required for those songs.

Montsegur and Isle of Avalon sound nothing like a Celtic Jig I have no idea why some people relate DOTC to Clansman, the songs are very very different Maiden is Maiden, They have done 100's of songs, they have their sound, they have their structure. DOTC is more different to their back...

Maiden have never done a Celtic Jig before. Given their back catalogue DOTC is entirely unique for them. Have any heavy metal bands done Celtic Jigs before? (probably yes, IDK, but it doesn't seem to be common at all) I'm not sure how you objectively determine whether a song has a valid point...

They are my four favourites from the album. All the rest rank below those four, easily below.

Harris' four songs on this album are far above the rest of the songs. I really really really hope he doesn't take your advice. LOL Darkest hour is one of the least exciting or interesting songs on the album. Maiden as a whole aren't great at ballads. Harris should keep doing what he is doing.

AMOLAD is a unique album but not a goto album in my book. BOS, TFF and Senjutsu are all pretty high up there. Senjutsu songs seem quite easy to play on guitar and my 11 year old daughter can sing them, she wouldn't have a hope in hell of singing the earlier stuff. But that doesn't detract from...

Many a legend has the historical figure standing alone and above and doing heroic things that change history. It's just the way it goes. It would make for a really boring and long song to write a historically correct and balanced, and expressing all views and disclosing all positives and...

That's what I would have presumed. Churchill's claim to fame wasn't him being the real life inspiration for Rambo.

Sure, but they are all leaping to a conclusion

Maiden have lots of songs about war, British wars etc, Churchils speech represents Britain's war effort, it's not an endorsement about how great Churchill is as a person. I've never thought Bruce or Maiden as having praise for Churchill. I don't know how or why you jump to that conclusion.

Utter nonsense. But you have every right to be shocked at the lyrics and disappointed in Bruce for writing them. That's your prerogative. I just don't happen to share your view on this. They wrote and performed and recorded a song. They aren't attempting to rewrite history or portray Churchill...

Was Maiden writing an academic historical record full of moral judgements and covering all perspectives of the entirety of Churchill's public life and actions or were they writing a song? Good grief.

Seems to me to be a first person perspective, like what Churchill might have been feeling at the time. Not a statement of what the members of Iron Maiden think about Churchill's character. Good grief, if we are going down this woke path then all Maiden will be able to sing about is stardust...

Maiden wrote a song about The Beast, a song about Icarus, a song about a Prowler, a song about a prostitute, a song(s) about war... I don't think writing a song about a person, entity or subject means that the band is praising or endorsing that person, entity or subject. Maiden do lots of...
