This should be repeated for emphasis. To this day I wonder how anyone older than 5 can take that band seriously! They try so obviously to be psychotic, and it is so OBVIOUSLY constructed and calculated... I won't dispute that it is their best BJ album after BIB, but "Thunderstruck" is such a...

What, bro???? :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: You are kidding right? That's not even a question. SSOASS is their best album ever, AMOLAD is not terrible, but nowhere near the top.

FOTD is way better. Yes, it has some turds on it, but not more than BOS, and its bangers are all far better than the better songs on BOS.

Geez, you really got me :cheers:

Actually, I think FNM was better in the 80s. We Care A Lot beats Angel Dust. Never hated them, but never particularly enjoyed them either. They ripped off Exhorder to the point of plain stealing. If I listen to Pantera, it is Vulgar Display of Power. Chaos AD was such a great album. They...

Is it? My impression is that most users love these bands... I could be wrong though. CoC is all sound and no substance. Good lyrics though. Admittedly, I don't know (or recall) the latter 2. But Images & Words and Metropolis is musical wankery for the sake of showing of their (undisputed)...

Very good examples of the great side of the 90s! Great to see Time here, a rather underrated album, and a true gem! Very good examples of the terrible side of the 90s! Especially Korn. One of the worst bands ever.

It is not completely true. At least for Metal. There was a shitload of terrible Metal bands in the 90s, and a lot of terrible sub genres. Neo Thrash was among the worst offenders, same with the Biohazard/Pantera/Sepultura/Machine Head hype and that terrible crossover wave (Corrosion of...

FF being fave Maiden album: weird, but well.... FF being fave album in all of music: you must either be completely deaf or simply know only 5 albums.

These tracks are great. Deja-Vu even makes my personal top 10. The hatred that Weekend Warrior gets is out of place. It is a good song. Great guitar leads, catchy and aggressive chorus. No masterpiece, and of course we can wonder why Maiden tried to be AC/DC here, but it is still much better...

Not at all, and I really don't understand how you get to such a thesis. They sound very different. SSOASS was the next logical step after SIT. They stopped that style right there and never continued with it.

1) Seventh Son 2) Somewhere In Time 3) Fear of the Dark 4) Piece of Mind 5) X-Factor 6) Powerslave 7) Iron Maiden 8) No Prayer For the Dying 9) The Number of the Beast 10) Brave New World 11) Virtual XI 12) Killers 13) The Book of Souls 14) A Matter of Live and Death 15) Senjutsu 16) Dance of...

Keep in mind that several members of Maiden, Steve included, do not have a very high level of formal or intellectual education. I assume (without any judging) that in some cases (Sinjutsu, Alexander), their knowledge about the topic is simply very basic (which is fine, it's not a lecture, it's...

As I am too lazy to look up who exactly has credits for which songs, I just decided to make up some new categories and add my fave song of each. Best fast banger: Be Quick or be Dead Best long epic: Alexander Best song based on books or movies: Man on the Edge Best album opener: Aces High...

Tool - every album At the Gates - every album Guns N Roses - Appetite (good album, but not as great as they say) Beatles - Sgt. Pepper, Beatles Metallica - Master of Puppets (good album, but neither their best, nor in thrash metal top 20) System of a Down - everything Nirvana - Nevermind Led...

I was born in 1981, so no boomer here, but whatever. I simply see Metal as an escape from fabricated plastic music. It is important for art and culture in general that there are some genres that are not dictated and driven by sales and Sponsors and stuff. Metal was intended to be that way. An...

*sigh* I know you don't. Most Metal fans these days completely forgot where this genre comes from, what its original meaning and intention was. Most listeners are just the same consumerist people as pop audiences. That's also why they don't see or don't care about the irony that Bruce rants...

I don't deny the party could be fun, but you meet other fans to celebrate with anyway, so there is not really a benefit in this party...

These days it became trend that every major band on tour sells VIP tickets. Which are generally overpriced gimmicks to milk the most devoted morons among the crowd. In many cases (Maiden included), the amount of standard tickets is deliberately reduced in order to sell more VIP tickets. While I...

Run To The Hills. No question. I disliked that song from the very first time I ever heard it. One of the worst Maiden tracks of the 80s. Being played at every heavy Metal party, after every second metal show at the bar and almost every Maiden gig did not help. Also never was a big fan of 2...
