The worst Eddie for me was ed hunter Eddie. The obsession around this time with crappy CGI was awful. Don’t know why so many have mentioned VXI. Apart from the cringe fest football stuff inside the booklet the album cover itself I think looks great, even with football pitch in the background.

I actually quite like the 1998 re designed Eddie for the debut. Never cared for the original much either to be honest. Now when you look back over all the eddies decades later the original doesn’t really even resemble Eddie much. Eddies iconic look really started with Killers where he had his...

Saxon are another good example of a band who regularly releases albums. Starting with Killing ground in 2001 they’ve released 10 studio albums up until last years Hell, Fire & Damnation. That’s an average of an album just over every 2 years. Plus a few live albums in between too. Plus the Saxon...

The more I think about a potential setlist for this tour the more I’m thinking that the bulk of the setlist will be just the standard expected hit songs. All they really need to do to appease everyone is put in still life, infinite dreams and killers that were missing from Maiden England 2013...

Can I play with Madness is popular amongst the feral Maiden fandom but to me it’s the worst track on Seventh Son. I do t hate it and do t feel the need to skip it when listening to the album but I do find my mind wanders when that track comes on and I’m already thinking about the next track as...

The chemical wedding I presume :)

But in the build up to the future past tour the band, Steve in particular, was saying how they regret not recording much from the SIT tour and how they weren’t gonna make that mistake this time. Maiden have released a ton of live albums and I can’t believe they haven’t realised that a future...

Maiden are one of the few bands that I’m sure do make money on albums. Maybe not as much as they did in the past but I’m sure they turn a profit on an album. They have hundreds of thousands of fans all over the world and theirs a hardcore of Maiden fans that would buy multiple versions of...

It’s not just a lack of a new album but it looks increasingly like we aren’t getting a live album from the future past tour either. It just feels like Maiden is a touring band these days and nothing more. Hope I’m proved wrong but they don’t seem to want to release any music these days.

I thought it was quite reasonable actually. About the right price for hardback coffee table book. At least they haven’t gone with some £200 special edition with a load of tat included. Having said that I’d pay at least £100 (or more) if I could get a signed copy with all the guys signatures on...

Yeah I have to agree with the recent posts. We all know that Maiden is on borrowed time and with Nicko stepping aside now we don’t know how long we have left with the band. With that in mind I do wish the band would focus more on a new album rather than devoting all this time to side...

I was was thinking of popping along to the cart and horses when I bought my tickets for the London gig but now I doubt I’ll bother. With the London stadium only a 10 min walk away and 60k+ maiden fans in town I really don’t fancy queuing for hours. The place is gonna be rammed.

I’m not a fan of blood brothers. I always skip it when listening to BNW or any live album it’s on. It’s not a terrible song by any means but what really puts me off is the absolute cringe fest that Bruce spouts off every time it’s played live. This whole thing about “we are metal brothers, we...

I can’t use an ad blocker on my iPhone as it’s also used as my work phone and an ad blocker stops some of my work apps opening properly. Pain in the backside as the ads on this site are just full blown ridiculous now. I hope the mods are all Rich now from the ad revenue as they better be after...

They did used to put some great effort into some cool things back then. I did another fc trip to Paris in 2004 to watch the early days dvd tour. That was another great trip. Also remember the FC convention the day after Metal 2000 at Earl’s Court. Think that was the last convention the band...

I really like both those tracks :)

It was a bit of a kick in the teeth for the uk to be honest but at least the fan club put on a good trip to see the tour. I mean I can’t complain that for £150 I got picked up by coach in my home town, travel to Paris and an overnight stay, gig ticket then travel to Rotterdam, another...

I know it’s the complete opposite of the thread title but it got me thinking about songs I really quite like but seem universally despised by most of the fan base. The first 2 that sprang to mind were invaders and the apparition. When I see these songs pop up in threads it’s usually when...

I was picked up in Harlow. Handy for me as I was born and live in Harlow and I believe Steve Lazarus who was running the fan club at the time also lived in Harlow as the postal address for the fan club was Harlow.

I feel very lucky to have seen the ed hunter tour as it never hit the uk. I went on a fan club trip and saw the gigs in Paris and Rotterdam. I remember in the press something was said about how the band were pissed off with the uk, particularly the press, about how they reacted to the band...
