    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    Thanks for the detailed description, I forgot a bit about all the details, I just remember that I really love those releases and that there was a lot of very cool stuff to read, lot of details that I wasn't eve aware (with all of this I almost forgot about the live recordings and other demos...

    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    I tend to support Maiden most of the time and agree with a lot of things they do and the way they do it but when it comes to anniversary releases, I must say they're among the most ridiculous I've ever seen. For the 40th anniversary of the debut album, what did we get...a clear picture disc...

    Seriously, WTF is Jan trying to do here?

    Their guitarist situation of the 80's where one of the two was more like a statue on stage, hardly moving and looking serious (or should I say bored) as hell? And no bashing of Adrian here, he's a great guitar player and great writer but in terms of stage presence...no comment (even if he...

    the most unusual Maiden song?

    I'm gonna repeat some that have already been said: - Strange world: it has for some reason a very late 60's/70's vibe that is nowhere to be found in any other Maiden song - Innocent exile: you can really feel that it was of the first songs Steve wrote, the rhythm and riff is quite unusual for...

    The Wicker Man - another inspiration?

    Actually for me the fun fact was that I was just browsing through the website I mentionned and I just put play on that song and I was like "wahouhh, this is very similar to a song I know very well". And what is "fun" as well regarding these riffs is that when some bands just try to sue others...

    The Wicker Man - another inspiration?

    Ah this bring back memories, there was an article in a french magazine a few weeks before BNW came out and the writer of the article had the chance to listen to four songs of the album, including The Wicker Man and he mentionned "Spreading the disease" as well. I almost forgot about this one.

    The Wicker Man - another inspiration?

    Yeah I fully agree, its a very basic riff as well. Its just that not only this time its exactly the same but also the building of the song as well (intro riff used also for the verse and the rhythm is almost identical). Its more or less the same as the 2 minutes to midnight riff, Im sure there...

    The Wicker Man - another inspiration?

    This is a subject that has been talked a lot before, the fact that the main riff has a lot of similarities with many other metal songs (since this is a very "basic" riff), specially Running Wild of Judas Priest as fas as I remember but while I was browsing a "traditional heavy metal discovery...

    Eddie Van Halen vs. Randy Rhoads?

    Same feeling about Ozzy here btw...Randy is one of very favorite guitar players but I can't stand Ozzy in general (so I mainly focus just on the music itself while listening to these two albums!)...always thought he was one the luckiest guys on earth, that was just there at the right place at...

    Senjutsu - 20 Months Later

    Very interesting analysis I must say. Months and years go by, and feelings stay the same (or became even stronger): it's one hell of an album! I never get tired of listening to all of it (maybe minus The Darkest Hour, while not bad at all, its still on the same level as other calm songs they've...

    Eddie Van Halen vs. Randy Rhoads?

    It means that in just two albums and I'm talking stricktly from a guitar technique point of view (been playing guitar for more than 30 years now...I'm that old!), its difficult to explain it with words rather than showing it but when you take a guitar and try to learn EVH stuff and RR stuff...

    Those that have been to 10 or more Maiden gigs

    Its hard to just list the 3 favorites because basically there are great memories attached to each gig I've attended so I'll go with a very quick overview for each: - Geneva 95: I became a fan around the end of 93 so just 2 years after that I had the chance to see them a few km from home. Of...

    Eddie Van Halen vs. Randy Rhoads?

    Randy Rhoads without a single doubt. In just two albums with Ozzy, he has achieved way more than EVH ever did. Of course, EVH was way more popular (actually more in the US than in Europe, btw) because Van Halen was clearly more mainstream than Ozzy (playing the Beat It solo helped a lot as...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    It remembers me of a song that I can't remember the name but some of the lyrics were : "dreams are my reality..." yeah, Jay Jay, keep on dreaming, for "sure" Maiden were really intimidated by Twisted Sister fans ::)
