    THE BEST LIVE BAND (HEYDAY EDITION)

    Maiden, Metallica and KISS. Considering everything that matters (listed by Azas), Maiden are truly the best. It's not even bias. Metallica still puts tight shows, so they deserve to be praised for that. KISS shows are like ''THE rock show'', not only because of the stage performances, but...

    Best Metal Song Tournament (Round 4)

    Some really high lines that Bruce could have written for himself back then, even now.

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2026

    These two Hellfest performances sound pretty solid in terms of playing and mix.

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    Good performances, good sound for a pro-shot, 4 songs shorter set (interesting ones). The stage lights are darker, they didn't show the color of the full show. I wonder if they will release another official concert video (3rd in a row?), they could also add more new songs for next year (unlike...

    Best Metal Song Tournament (Round 4)

    ''Beast In The Light'' and ''Nosferatu'' are some of the few songs I wish were Bruce solo/Maiden songs. What a songs, instant classics for me. Roadrunner's ''In The Fire'' is very solid (riffing, tempo, vocals, and especially instrumental section). Pure King Diamond vibe. Kamelot's Karma is...

    Blaze Bayley

    ^I guess that was really important to Steve (I understand him about that, it makes a lot of sense from this point of view; every band needs such members), he needed that especially at that time, so that's probably one of the main reasons (probably THE one), along with his different voice, for...

    Bruce Dickinson

    I accidentally found this info, it says there was suppose to be another bonus song called ''Emblem Of Hate'' in 2005? How true is that? Does it sound like a Bruce solo title? Probably. Also, there are some lyrics from ''Original Sin''. Didn't know that.

    Bruce Dickinson

    Old school metal video with the whole band. True. He said he's going to make about 5 videos, if 2 are for the singles from the new album, 1 for this, the others? More MBPT promo? I guess he really enjoys them. ''Change Of Heart'' is a fitting song for a video. Only Philip is in the video (with...

    What's your favourite bass lines 'Arry has done since 1990?

    Despite not being that prominent in the mix like before: Tailgunner The Fugitive (intro) Sign Of The Cross/Man On The Edge/Fortunes Of War/Look For The Truth (intro)/Blood On The World's Hands (intro)/Unbeliever Blood Brothers Dream Of Mirrors The Longest Day El Dorado The Book Of Souls...

    Best Metal Song Tournament (Round 4)

    Wow. A typical ballad style for them. I wouldn't nominate a ballad, but I wanted something different. Riding The Eagle is one of their best songs. Melodic anthem.

    NOW PLAYING

    Iron Savior - Back From The Fires Of Hell New single. The chorus is typical power metal, but the rest of the song is quite solid (verses and instrumental section, good guitar sound). I love the main/intro riff, heavy and melodic (pure metal) never gets old. Btw, the album cover with its...

    News 18th Studio Album discussion

    Steve's doesn't think Bruce's solo approach is ''fitting'' for Maiden (unlike TM for the early 90s era of the band). Which is true, but why not for one or two songs. He writes some heavy riffs (Parchment is a good example, if only the production was better), but he puts the melody first. Maybe...

    Who's song credit will you look forward to hearing most on a possible next album?

    Harris, of course. I just love his ideas, he delivers every time! More impactful and memorable melodic stuff. Then probably equally: Gers/Harris for more epicness - Dickinson/Smith for a slightly different and maybe heavier vibe. I could also say Smith/Harris, all really. Will there be a...

    NOW PLAYING

    Xandria - The Poetry Of The Real World A standout song from the new album, I love the big Nightwish Anette vibe and the harmony (wish it was much longer). The chorus really work.

    Bruce Dickinson

    Yeah, that would be possible and cool. Even more than TCW, imagine! Btw, Philip kind of illustrated the heavy sound of the album with Trumpets Of Jericho and a Meshuggah song on a story.

    Iron Maiden Covers

    Here's him playing ''Deja-Vu'' live, the double bass suits it too. SIT is probably Nicko's best album. Btw, here's him playing ''Trooper'' from the same gig, it shows how important are the fills to the full sound for the Maiden songs. And he doesn't play it that fast.
