    Official MLB baseball thread.

    Anybody here still following the MLB? Looks like the Giants are gonna take this one, but I still think what Cliff Lee has done is absolutely remarkable. The winning streak he was on to start his playoff career was amazing. That performance of his in Yankee Stadium in the ALDS was out of this world.

    Official Hockey discussion thread

    I really have no basis for this, but I've always kind of felt that if Hasek got along better with the media or was as entertaining as somelike like a Roy, he would be in more of the GGOAT conversations. He's got numbers to put him in the same conversation as Roy, if not ahead of him. The year he...

    New posters! Who are you?

    Hey everyone, I'm Jason. I'm Canadian, currently studying chemistry in university. First heard Maiden about two years ago from my big brother, heard some of the bigger hits like TNOTB and RTTH. I decided on a whim to buy AMOLAD from iTunes when it was on sale about a year ago, and I've been in...

    "Coming Home" announced as Iron Maiden's next single.

    Yea I agree, I think this is one of the more radio-friendly singles Maiden has put out, along with The Wicker Man.

    Paschendale

    Re: 'paschendale' I've always liked this song, but I was never really in love with it. It was "Paschendale", a great Maiden epic. I've been listening to it a lot more lately, especially the Death on the Road version, and somehow it just clicked for me a few days ago. From "Cruelty has a human...

    When the Wild Wind Blows

    The Man Who Would Be King One thing that still amazes me about this song is how fast it seems to go by. It may be 11 minutes, but it goes by in a flash. This seems to be the mark of a great Maiden epic, I feel the same about songs like Paschendale, FTGGOG and ATG. I love the lyrics, I love the...

    North American tour thread

    Re: USA tour date on Livenation! Haha i've never actually been there, but I'll take your word that the building is good  :lol: I too am really hoping that should Maiden come to the NE USA or Montreal, it doesn't horribly conflict with final exams or anything like that. Save for a late April...

    North American tour thread

    Re: USA tour date on Livenation! Okay, Montreal it is! That's much better than Toronto anyway, I wouldn't want to visit the ACC where the worst NHL team plays :)

    What would you want as Maiden's final encore at the last concert?

    Words cannot describe how epic this would be  :rocker:

    What would you want as Maiden's final encore at the last concert?

    This question came up in a thread a few weeks back, I think it was one about proposed set-list's for the Final Frontier World Tour that'll be up and running in 2011. There were several songs that got brought up, but I figured it was interesting enough for its own thread rather than being buried...

    Deconstructing Eddie: My Iron Maiden Songs & Albums Countdown

    Completely agree about Heaven Can Wait. I heard it for the first time on Flight 666 and it didn't really impact me like the rest of the songs (that DVD was one of the first times I heard Maiden). It's not a bad song by any means, but there's so many songs they've done that just seem like they...

    Which songs should be played live?

    That's actually an interesting question on it's own, what song would people want as the final encore song of the last Maiden concert ever? I'd agree with you, it has to be Hallowed.

    Isle of Avalon

    Maiden announce Nordic dates for 2011

    This. I'm a university student myself, and if there was a Maiden show within a few hours of me the night before an exam...that exam isn't going well, because I'm not missing Maiden.  :edmetal: But hopefully some NA dates go up soon! I waited years to see my first show, can't wait to go back again.

    Maiden Fans at School

    I'm at university in Canada, I actually had a five or six minute conversation with someone in the cafeteria yesterday about the latest tour, we both had on our shirts from the show. Great to get to know/hear the opinions of other Maiden fans. I've seen five or six Maiden shirts in the week or so...

    Which songs should be played live?

    I'm personally going to hold onto the optimistic belief that the "we aren't playing the whole album live" means we get Sat 15 over the PA, then they play the rest of it live :D Throw in IM, Hallowed, maybe TETMD, an AMOLAD gem (These Colors, Brighter, Lord of Light) and maybe Blood...

    OFFICIAL tour thread. SPOILERS inside!

    The Clansman on the Rock in Rio DVD is friggin EPIC, I would love if they used that as a sing along tune rather than FOTD.

    OFFICIAL tour thread. SPOILERS inside!

    I've only seen Maiden once, but I can see how Fear of the Dark would get old. It was great the first time, but I don't think subsequent times would be as special. Hallowed, on the other hand, I don't think I would ever get tired of. I can't see them ever taking it off of the setlist, and i'm...
