    No More Lies

    This song is very VXI, even Nick drums incredibly straight on this one

    18th Studio Album discussion

    Futureal is still the second best short rocker Maiden have done in the last thirty years btw.

    Don't Look to the Eyes of a Stranger

    Paschendale has a bit in that key "blood is falling like the rain" I think

    Don't Look to the Eyes of a Stranger

    Sure it might have delayed the Virtual XI tour slightly but I do think Steve should have been made to do at least 3 months community service for the crime of writing this song.

    Senjutsu 4th anniversary

    The opening song is still the most boring thing they've ever done. Outside of one or two moments on poor ol' Virtual XI

    Blaze Bayley

    Always felt bad for Blaze that he was a good 5-10 years younger than the rest of the boys in the band and he was the one obviously heavily balding to the extent that he had to wear a hat for the Virtual XI tour. Yeah Steve's hairline had crept back a good few inches but he still had the same...

    The Educated Fool

    I'm a fan of this era but... Does this song have the flattest chorus of their career? Love the verses and pre chorus though Edit- October Listening through headphones I love the chorus and the double tracked vocals now

    Maiden album with the most variety of keys the songs are written in?

    Somewhere in time CSIT E Wasted E Sea E Heaven E TLOTLDR E SIASL E Deja F Alex E Quite uniform (if this is accurate), and yes this has no impact on song quality as this album is of course better than Virtual XI. Deja Vu, like Don't look to the eyes of a stranger is in a very odd key for...

    Maiden album with the most variety of keys the songs are written in?

    Well listening to stuff like the educated fool, it does just keep going E C G D over and over or E G C D. Would have been nice to at least do the traditional key change to F# for a solo or something

    Maiden album with the most variety of keys the songs are written in?

    I was just thinking... Virtual XI is quite interesting in the varied amount of keys each song is in. From what I can tell- Futureal E Angel Gambler A Lightning Strikes B Clansman A When Two Worlds B Educated Fool E Stranger G# Como D Especially when some albums like AMOLAD is nearly all in...

    He was a lot better in 95 and 98 than 96

    Blaze Bayley

    In fairness to the guy I've seen him do perfectly respectable to very good versions of the following maiden songs live on his Maiden tours Futureal Man on the edge Sign of the cross Clansman Afraid to shoot strangers Edge of darkness Fortunes of war Blood on the world's hands Sanctuary...

    Blaze Bayley

    Such a shame too. "We've got this great but very different singer to Bruce in the band now. He's a baritone. How should we help him live with the Bruce material? Er.. let's play it in the original key and about 20% faster than the studio version.." Regarding confidence I think some gigs on both...

    Blaze Bayley

    Does anyone else think Blaze (often, not always) lacked confidence on stage. I saw him on a bootleg of Brixton 98. He wouldn't come near the front of the stage that often. Compare him commanding, admittedly smaller, crowds before and after in Wolfsbane and his solo stuff. Yet in Maiden he...
