    Mental Health Thread

    Yesterday I had a rant at a group of kids I work with in an extra curricular club. They were being quite disrespectful and not listening. It seems to be a recurring theme with this particular group. I said along the lines of ‘Do you realise that I do this club for free and I don’t get paid to be...

    50th Anniversary Documentary Announcement

    They said it will be released this year. I predict it will premiere on BBC1 on Christmas Day. Right in between Strictly Come Dancing and Doctor Who.

    Explain a Maiden song as poorly as possible

    There is a beautiful sunrise, but apparently we live in a shitty place that the singer can’t to leave.

    Hallowed Be Thy Name

    I enjoyed the song live up until about 2011. I remember listening to En Vivo and thinking he was starting to struggle with it live. Before that he always carried it off pretty well. The Rock in Rio version is iconic. Plus H in drop D! It sounds so heavy.

    Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

    Aces High aside, I would have loved to have seen the show again. I just can’t justify the cost of a ticket for Knebworth. It’s a shame, as it is down the road from me.

    Varying the setlist would help with that as well. One can dream…

    Maiden songs you find rather boring

    Empire of the Clouds. I love the ‘Hear lie their dreams…’ verse. It’s just a shame it takes 16 minutes to get there. Man of Sorrows. I just find it a bit bland and doesn’t add much to the album.

    Maiden songs for crappy days

    What are you go to songs for when you are having a hard time or crappy day? My number 1 choice would have to be Rainmaker. There is just something about this song that clicks with me. I like the message of the lyrics as well. The song always pumps me up.

    Thanks for the breakdown. It sounds like a great book.

    Now drinking

    I can’t drink as much anymore, as I have high uric acid. I still enjoy one beer maybe once a week. I don’t drink in the spring and summer though. This time of year is great, as I love the Belgium Christmas beers and high ABV stouts. I am currently drinking a Marks and Spencer Winter Ale. It is...

    Songs you love from bands you dislike.

    How You Remind Me by Nickelback. It is just an incredibly well written song from a very bland band. All Summer Long by Kid Rock. A great pastiche of Sweet Home Alabama from a complete twat.

    IRON MAIDEN: 'Infinite Dreams - The Official Visual History' Book Due In The Fall

    I have a £10 Waterstones voucher and I am debating on picking up the book. I would get it for £29.99 with the voucher. I am going to be blunt: is the book worth it?

    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    It’s a cracking song that deserves some recognition. TETMD is great, but overplayed. Infinite Dreams will never come back. OTGDY could have fitted in well on the RFYL or TFP tours.

    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    It was in 2021 when some DJ/journalist was doing a Twitter listening party to SSOASS. There were lots of quotes attached to songs that would appear when you got to that particular song at the same time as everyone else. When it got to OTGDY, I remember the tweet saying something along the lines...

    18th Studio Album discussion

    Saying ‘I would rather see the band go out on a high’ is not a negative. It’s a more dignified end for a band of Maiden’s stature.

    Of course you are. I’m just not attacking you personally for yours.

    Ok, pal. You win. I will sit here in my narcissistic tendencies. I’m done with this shit. It’s a fucking forum for opinions.
