    Bruce's Singing

    Lol you haven’t hurt my feelings at all :p Maiden England is my personal favourite maiden live album and I enjoy listening to Bruce’s singing on the album. Same with live after death, I have no issues with Bruce’s singing. Im just glad, to my ears, that I can enjoy Maidens live releases from...

    Bruce's Singing

    Really! So according to you Bruce only had 1.5 tours where his singing was good and the rest of the 80’s he’s was a load of shit bar odd performance? This thread should be renamed as the “let’s slag Bruce’s singing off”. I’m all for a bit of constructive criticism but honestly, I wonder why...

    Paul Di'Anno passes away, age 66

    Wow, there’s a touch of arrogance right there. I disagree with a lot of what you’ve said in your post and just don’t get the punk connection at all, no matter how tenuous. I’m not gonna debate this any more, I have my opinion and you have yours. If you really feel like explaining it one more...

    Paul Di'Anno passes away, age 66

    The songs on the first two Maiden albums just don’t have anything punk about them in my opinion. Punk mainly made up of bands that could barely play their instruments and would be lucky if they could write one memorable chord per album. They were mainly from working class backgrounds who wrote...

    Paul Di'Anno passes away, age 66

    There is absolutely nothing punk musically whatsoever about anything on Maidens first 2 albums. Never understood why people say this and always thought it was a lazy description just because Paul had short hair and was a bit of a geezer.

    Paul Di'Anno passes away, age 66

    Today we mourn the passing of a musical legend. The man helped put Iron Maiden on the map and those first two albums will always be a legacy that any musician would be proud of. I wasn’t a fan of the man behind the music but today is not a day to dwell on the negatives. Today is a day to raise...

    Paul Di'Anno

    Totally agree, I think that guy is a total leach. He made out he was helping Paul and moaned so much about all the shit he took, whilst plugging his tell all book. Can’t stand the bloke and find it cringy how people on the official fan club forum kiss his arse.

    Futureal CD2 ?

    I have the futureal digi pack single and whilst I was a member of the FC at the time I actually bought it from a local record store (UK) so a few copies must have been released to be sold in shops.

    Run For Your Lives tour their last or not?

    No this won’t be the last tour but I do believe this is part.1 of the farewell tour. The venues they’ve picked and the fact the tour is based around the first 9 albums only with no real theme (legacy of the beast, future past etc) leads me to believe this the first part of the last big tour...

    Books

    Your welcome. I will say however, the order does seem to be taking a while to process. Money has already been paid and a couple of days ago I got an email from Lulu apologising for the delay with the books and they will come back to me as soon as they have a further update. Could you give them...

    18th Studio Album discussion

    With the announcement of the current tour my thinking is if we are to see another album then it will be 2027 at the earliest. We know that this new tour will take them up to the end of 2026 and we know the set list will be based around the first 9 albums only. This is what I think may happen...

    Books

    Just ordered the new book, plus I ordered another copy of the first book 1973-1983 as I really wanted the special collectors edition and the cover art looks way better. A lot of money for a book I essentially already had but the new art looks a lot better alongside the new book. Don’t mind...

    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    So powerslave will be 40 years old tomorrow and…..shock horror….Maiden gavent put the bunting out and let off the fireworks and they haven planned a big celebration. Every album Maiden has ever released has an anniversary every single year. What’s so special about the album being 40 years old...

    Most overrated Maiden album?

    I love how threads like this always end up with people jumping on and bashing the songs/albums they don’t like. That’s not what the OP was asking. I’d say the most highly rated and highly thought of albums would be Number of the beast, Somewhere in time and possibly Brave New World as it was...

    Most overrated Maiden album?

    Whether or not you personally like it wasn’t the point of this thread. The question is what is the most over rated album and I don’t think Senjutsu is particularly highly rated at all, at least not by casual fans so from that perspective it can’t be over rated.

    Stolen Eddie torso incident during the World Slavery Tour... wtf??

    Wouldn’t be surprised if Rasmus has this as part of his collection :p That dude never ceases to amaze me a) how on earth he gets all this stuff in his collection and b) where on earth he gets the money from.

    Bruce Dickinson

    On the subject of trooper beer I really like it but for some reason all the variants of the main beer are just impossible to get hold of. The regular trooper is always in stock in my local Asda and a while back when the new session IPA was launched they had a few bottles if that but once it was...

    Bruce Dickinson

    lol, no way. Rob’s voice on the last 2 studio albums has had so much studio help to sound the way it is almost to the point it could be an AI robot doing the singing. Don’t get me wrong, I think invincible shield sounds great but when I first heard it I was taken a back by the singing. Rob...

    Bruce Dickinson

    lol, I’m watching the stream this morning and I thought resurrection men sounded great. It’s one of my highlight songs on the album :p

    Paul Di'Anno

    That rant is basically all about money and about plugging his new book. There’s a lot of negative stuff that’s been swirling around this Stjepan Juras over the years and ever since he hooked up with Paul I get the feeling it’s all for his own personal benefit. Every so often the guy goes on a...
