According to my cable guide, it will be shown on AXS TV Monday night at 11:00 pm US Eastern time.

While you and your buddies are playing video games on the Commodore-64, just spin Maiden records in the background. That's how I would get my friends to sit through all the albums that I liked.

:smartarse: I realize that the contest is over ... but here is a "setlist" that would probably work best at successfully indoctrinating a woman in her 50s (assuming there is a legitimate chance for success) ... :applause: The Trooper The Prisoner Flight of Icarus Run to the Hills 2...

:innocent: If you truly want this experiment to be a genuine "success"... 1. Limit the total running time to 50 minutes. Assuming that your mother grew up in any decade before the 90s... she'll most likely burn out on one band after 50 consecutive minutes of primarily unfamiliar...

I don't understand why "Call Me Maybe" is such a popular phenomenon. To me, the chorus sounds like it would be a great pre-chorus... but then it leads to no payoff. The bridge in the middle of the song possibly could've been structured to act as a chorus. Then again, I never understood the...

It would've been nice if they found somebody to "properly" remaster all the albums a few years ago when CDs were still profitable items. If I knew that new CD versions would definitely have the best possible sound, then I would buy them and replace the 90s remasters that I have. Oddly...

hmm... I'm fairly certain that I once (or twice) heard Paul complain about how much he dislikes performing Maiden tunes. Well, I suppose there ARE bills to be paid after all. ______________________________________________________________ http://www.hardlinemedia.net/ Hardline...

I have no point. :p I'm just trying to analytically figure out how all the opinions around here about this one band's output can vary so widely. :smartarse: I've decided that, for each individual song, it all comes down to the listener's predisposition towards the influential genres...

Hmm... Maiden seems to sit on a metaphorical fence post that intersects four yards: (1) Classic Hard Rock, (2) Melodic Metal, (3) Vocal Pop, and (4) Symphonic Prog. When a particular song leans more towards one or two particular yards, then the listener will appreciate the song...

I actually find the extreme subjectivity on these forums to be rather bizarre. We all love the same band... yet we almost never seem to concur on specific opinions about the band's output. Meanwhile, the band rarely deviates very far from their own handful of formulas... so how is it...

The rankings from #110 down to around #25 or so will probably appear to be almost a complete crapshoot. I can't imagine that any one person's taste will agree with a majority of the overall order in this segment of the list.

Wow... I am surprised that this one is buried so low. For me, this song really captures the classic Maiden vibe in the reunion era. If you take away the thick Kevin Shirley production, the song itself would sit comfortably on either of the Piece of Mind or Powerslave albums.

Here in America, I remember seeing a movie with a very similar title when I was a kid. It was simply called "Raiders of the Lost Ark". I think it was shown in movie theaters the same year as "The Road Warrior"... just a few years after "Star Wars". <_<

I suggest that you frequently check eBay. Check out this link with a site-wide search for "Metal Hammer" Maiden... http://www.ebay.com/dsc/i.html?_sop=1&LH_TitleDesc=1&_sacat=0&_nkw=maiden "metal hammer"&_ipg=200&rt=nc I realize that THIS magazine is NOT the one that you're looking for...

This was definitely the case in America. The band had practically zero radio exposure... so initial awareness for most people was based almost entirely on the satanism spin, followed by the label's marketing push to prominently display cover artwork in all the record shops.

It would've been interesting if this song opened the album. In that context, it has a very "Caught Somewhere In Time" overall vibe (after the acoustic intro, of course).

This is one song from VIRTUAL XI that I actually enjoy. I wish that they would've re-recorded it with Bruce in 2012 ... particularly to get it included in the film soundtrack for the (soon-to-be-released) TOTAL RECALL remake. Whenever I see promos for the movie, the tagline is "What is...

Thankfully, VIRTUAL XI was not my first Maiden album. If it were, I probably would have stopped right there-- and never would've heard everything else. Needless to say, this is my least favorite Maiden album... by a very large margin.

This composition would work better if it was maybe a minute shorter... and performed as a collaboration with ASIA. I'm not kidding. JOHN WETTON on vocals and CARL PALMER on drums would absolutely make the song so much better. Believe it or not, the overall style is very ASIA already. :dancinggeek:

This could be interesting ... depending on the quality of the vocals, of course. The one thing that kinda disappoints me, though, is Kevin Shirley "at the mixing helm". He seemingly goes out of his way to give most of his albums a more organic, live, thick-bottom sound... which (apparently)...
