I find this really hard to answer. I was thinking recently about which Maiden songs I think are completely meritless, 'cause there are quite a few songs (some mentioned in this thread) that I think are pretty weak overall but have some redeeming moments, like a strong instrumental section or...

I don't see anything wrong with Tears or Darkest Hour :ok:

Eh, kind of predictable. Eighties stuff at the top, reunion stuff nearer the bottom, 90s albums ranked lowest. Only surprise is the Dance of Death ranking, and I appreciate Brave New World being in S Tier.

::)

How? What have the band done or said to suggest this?

:ninja:

Update time! Maiden England - 4/8/2013 (17 songs): Moonchild Can I Play With Madness? The Prisoner 2 Minutes to Midnight Afraid to Shoot Strangers The Trooper Number of the Beast Phantom of the Opera Run to the Hills Wasted Years Seventh Son of a Seventh Son The Clairvoyant Fear of the Dark...

I think you could find some connections between early Tool and Sabbath, plus Adam Jones is close with Tom Morello, it was him who invited Tool to play. I didn't know Rush were invited, that is odd. Admittedly there are some confusing inclusions that make less sense than Maiden, as great as he...

Seriously though, how much of a connection between Sabbath and Maiden is there? Obviously every early metal band was influenced by Sabbath in some way, and it would've been cool to see Maiden utterly outclass tip their hat to Sabbath as "one British metal band to another", but I never got the...

This came up a few months back: https://forum.maidenfans.com/threads/when-did-the-trooper-become-maidens-de-facto-big-hit.72557/ I do think Trooper Beer had some influence on The Trooper's popularity, but I agree that it was probably named after The Trooper because The Trooper was already so...

I knew he'd been on the Sooty Show in the eighties, I just couldn't find any pictures of him on Nick's kit from that time. Digging a little deeper I found the below, not sure exactly when it's from, but it's nice to know Sooty joined the kit pretty much immediately after Nick's appearance :)

Alice in Chains played Fairies Wear Boots

When did Sooty first appear on Nicko's drum kit, and has he always been dressed in tour-appropriate attire? The earliest picture I found was from the AMOLAD tour, with Sooty dressed in camouflage.

I do think Dance of Death is actually very underrated, mostly being remembered for its horrible cover art, loud production and being squashed between two vastly superior albums, rather than the merit of its music. I agree it has some strong highs in Montsegur, Dance of Death, No More Lies (yes...

Is this to say DoD is an improvement over BNW? Explain yourself. :mad:

After all the Maiden hype I'd completely forgotten this was happening, and I'm going to see Duran Duran tomorrow. I know where I'd rather be :cool:

I almost feel like they've "peaked" with this tour, with it being their 50th Anniversary and having played their biggest UK crowd (which I was a part of and I won't shut up about it), where else can they go? You're right that they can't repeat any history tours without looking like they're...

FTFY, now this post is 'arry 'approvable.

FWIW I was not being serious :ok:

I hope not, then he'll subject us all to his sloppy playing :facepalm:
