    Ever notice how Steve doesn’t write “riffs” anymore?

    As time goes by I think what happens with Steve happens with - almost - everyone, no matter the area. They kind of find a certain way of doing things and tend not to stray too far from that. Is this a bad thing and does this make his songs less interesting and not as good as before? Well to each...

    Legacy of the Beast Tour 2018 - CONTAINS SPOILERS

    Talking about emotional singing and Ronnie I immediately thought about these two songs. I find his singing in both extremely emotional (specially the first that almost makes me cry every time I listen to it) but as you said each of us has his own perception and opinion :)

    Songs that could have been hits with a better chorus

    Die with your boots on is the first that comes to mind. For sure it's not one of their best songs but it's really the chorus that annoys me a lot and drags the song down, imo. The verses and the pre-chorus are ok but that chorus, it just sounds like a total improvisation, just a serie of words...

    Here we go again...Iron Maiden sued over the rights of 6 songs

    My exact thoughts. When you start a band in your early 20’s, all you want to do is play, try to get some gigs and people that come to see you and you’re more than happy when you finally succeed to write a few songs. At that moment you don’t really think about who’s written what and how you are...

    Here we go again...Iron Maiden sued over the rights of 6 songs

    What is really beyond understanding with both is that it took them more than 35 years to realize that their work has been « stolen ». And the only argument provided is that they were unaware of the facts because they turned their back on the music industry (for Wilson-Slesser actually there is...

    Moonchild vs Futureal Infinite Dreams vs The Angel and the Gambler Can I Play With Madness vs Lightning Strikes Twice (the chorus of LST is painful to hear but the rest of the song is way better than CIPWM) The Evil That Men Do vs The Clansman (the most difficult choice of the list but TETMD's...

    Songs that didn't work live

    I agree with BTATS and its question of timing. I will always remember how Bruce totally messed up the chorus in Zurich (a funny moment, listening to the recording of it right now :bigsmile:). From the same album, I think of The Legacy more as a studio kind of song (and a great one) but live...

    Different takes on Maiden songs

    I always thought the Transilvania 666 tribute album was one of the most fun to listen to because some of the covers are really different from the original This one of FOTD, I find it particularly cool with a singer that sounds a bit like Klaus Meine (Copy and paste the link) youtu.be/2sXIUSgsZgk

    9-2 for NOTB, I'm not surprised since TFF is, imho, the weakest of their 00's albums Invaders vs Satellite 15… Children of the Damned vs The Final Frontier The Prisoner vs El Dorado 22 Acacia Avenue vs Mother of Mercy Prowler’88 vs Coming Home Number of the beast vs The Alchemist Run to the...

    Maiden Albums: Head to Head

    I completely agree, Drifter musically is a very basic rock'n'roll kinda of song, really boring (apart from the riff of the introduction and the bluesy solo in the middle, the rest is really subpar compared to Maiden standards) I'm not even gonna start talking about the lyrics (do they really...
