    Most boring classic?

    For me it’s Fear of the Dark from this list. And I increasingly find myself skipping Run to the Hills and The Trooper, very good songs but repetition fatigue has set in.

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    I know some people don’t want spoilers, but I’m anxious to see the set list. I hope someone posts it here in real time.

    Official Hockey discussion thread

    The finals in the Worlds match Switz / US, a tough call for me because I'm U.S. but the Swiss team is led by players from my NHL team the New Jersey Devils: Timo Meier, Jonas Siegenthaler and Nico Hischier (Devils' Captain but unfortunately injured earlier in the tournament). Either way I'm...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    I fully expected CSIT once they announced the focus was on Somewhere in Time / Senjutsu. It was the opener on the SIT tour which I saw as a teenager. I'm also glad they played Celts although I'd like to see Parchment one day. My two biggest surprises were 'The Prisoner' and 'Can I Play With...

    Is the popularity of Wasting Love fabricated?

    Infinite streams, it's hard to comprehend.

    NOW PLAYING

    I am re-watching The Song Remains the Same movie by Zeppelin for the first time in maybe 15 years. There’s a very good reason they are consistently held in such high regard. They earned it.

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    You had me at I Love SIT. It’s my original and by far my all time favorite IM album. I was thrilled with the focus in the last tour. I just get a gut feeling that for this next tour they will pick a different tune from that album. I’d be equally thrilled if it’s Loneliness or Deja Vu.

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    I think that a good reason we might hear it on this tour is because it wasn't included in the DoFP tour.

    DRUNK POSTING

    I just listened to each of these. I love Brainstorm. It's like Syd Barrett-era Floyd crossed with Iggy & the Stooges. I just get hypnotized by the groove. Take those same elements and add some Ziggy Stardust and you have Silver Machine. I hadn't heard Lost Johnny before but I already like it...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    On a hypothetical level, I love how this starts out but after Killers my enthusiasm level pretty much drops off a cliff (except for Hallowed). For my wish list it could really use one more PoM song. My choices would be Die With Your Boots On or Still Life (since Revelations was played recently).

    DRUNK POSTING

    I've got a pretty pleasant but strong buzz right now. I generally avoid the political threads because I know what I believe but I understand that this topic has become sadly tribal and it's no longer a dialogue / debate it's either echo chambers or people yelling at each other. No thank you. I...

    Maiden really buried the lead — DoD is as good as any post-reunion Maiden album

    Yes for my tastes Rainmaker, title track and Montsegur are the true gems from this album. Also really enjoy Gates of Tomorrow, New Frontier and Paschendale. I’ve never had any problems with this album the cover is hideous but I generally don’t care about that.

    Could 'join' also mean 'rejoin'?

    I’ve never listened to this album

    I like this album. It starts off blazing (pun intended) with hyper catchy short rocker Futureal. The next song Angel and the Gambler gets strong reactions across the board but for me it’s basically a catchy rocker with unfortunate repetition of the chorus. Lightning Strikes Twice and The...

    The album ages well

    I place it in the middle of the pack in my album ranking. I absolutely love The Great Unknown and especially The Red and the Black (despite the plodding first 4:30) and the title track, while also appreciating IESF and Shadows of the Valley. Most of the rest I tend to skip based on placement...

    Iron Maiden's management: What went wrong?

    Growing up in New Jersey listening to the New York classic rock radio stations, they almost never played Maiden despite playing other metal bands like Ozzy / Sabbath, Scorpions, Priest, etc. On the other hand I clearly recall MTV playing the videos for Run to the Hills, Wasted Years, Stranger...

    Iron Maiden's management: What went wrong?

    I guess I'm on Team Proggie since Rush, Yes and Maiden are my three favorite bands. Although to take your example further I also love Zeppelin and U2.

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    I like that idea, although by the same logic I'd squeeze in Death of the Celts and/or Time Machine (not played on LOTB tour).
