    Iron Maiden Album Art Showdown

    Yeah, Rainmaker could have been effective with an actual drawing of this photo from the video. Blue and dark color, showing more of Eddie with the dancing figure/s. The Eddie head in the sky from the end of the video could have been added too, like in theme. Given the song's theme, I doubt they...

    Bruce Dickinson

    Is this the Part 2 of the Metal Hammer interview? I thought it would about all solo albums. The curious bits: Bruce said he felt creatively lost when left Maiden, he needed to leave to understand if he could give more to the music world. You don't get that in Maiden, it's gotta shape in a...

    Iron Maiden Album Art Showdown

    Weak and easy Round. They won't have a chance in the next rounds. 10 No Prayer for the Dying [remaster] +3 10 "Stratego" +2 8 "Be Quick or Be Dead" +1 2 "Speed of Light" 0 "Wildest Dreams" [DVD] 0 "Rainmaker" [DVD] NPFTD is a weak and boring cover for Maiden, but Eddie is still good and at...

    'pass The Jam'

    I listened to Pass The Jam for the first time in a while - and I think they could have easily used the verses approach for a an album song. I like their rhythm. The whole song has good parts: verses, Janick's solo, drumming, guitar licks, the melodic riff (5:54). Some of Bruce's vocals are nice...

    Best New Music 2025 Edition

    It's time to share my rankings of the year. Solid metal year for the bands I like. Album Of The Year: Helloween - Giants & Monsters. Some of the songs could have been better, but overall it's the strongest and varied. Other highlights: Battle Beast - Steelbound Bloodbound - Field Of Swords...

    Best New Music 2025 Edition

    Pure 80's catchy glam, I really dig both songs. I remember liking their album cover and the song ''Solar Winds''. I should listen to Part 1 some day. Old school and Maiden-esque melodic.

    Iron Maiden Album Art Showdown

    I always prefer Eddie to be a central figure, but not gonna lie, it's underrated. Good for both main and back covers. It's without CGI, right? Same here.

    Iron Maiden Album Art Showdown

    Ahh, so close. OOTSP would have been stronger in the next rounds. Easy round. 13 Powerslave +3 9 The Clairvoyant +1 9 A Matter of Life and Death +2 5 Women in Uniform 0 Behind the Iron Curtain 0 Ed Hunter Powerslave is timeless and one of the best covers of all time! It can win the whole...

    Best performances of a song

    Yeah, songs like Icarus, Still Life, Infinite Dreams, Seventh Son, Stranger In A Strange Land, Long Distance Runner, No Prayer, Wasting Love, Be Quick... played earlier. I'm not mentioning other SIT songs because he did them great during TFP tour.

    Bruce Dickinson

    A special one-off? His solo stuff and band? Interesting, the year of perhaps a big solo tour. ''He said to somebody — in his solo band, I believe — 'I never do this for anybody,' do a guest appearance on somebody's album. 'But I'll do it for Graham.'' And for Rob.

    Iron Maiden Album Art Showdown

    Considering the theme of Lord Of The Flies, the single cover should have been epic (more fitting than Man On The Edge). They made 3 different covers for Virus just a year later after all. The art approach for (especially) FOTD and TXF albums was odd. And for the former they even had additional...

    Iron Maiden Album Art Showdown

    I think it fits for both album arts, but cloud Eddie is perfect. They really should have made a noticeable sci-fi artwork for the live album from TFF tour. Not in comics style like the singles, but full-on fantasy. They same can be said for Live Chapter.

    9 "The Evil That Men Do" +3 7 "Out of the Silent Planet" [alt.] +2 5 En Vivo! +1 1 Beast over Hammersmith 1 Video Pieces 1 "Lord of the Flies" All of the 1988 arts are captivating and noticeable (one main color too). Out Of The Silent Planet alt cover (should have been the real cover), I always...

    Best performances of a song

    Wow, this is a brutal version of Icarus! Bruce sings it better than in 1997, AOB tour. Early 2000s voice, such power! The best version of his live vocals on this song. Studio quality indeed.

    Exactly. Touring is their favorite, but the best chance of a new album being recorded is in 2027. But what if Bruce likes more songs from the Blaze era, what about Flies? I doubt Man On The Edge, Futureal, yes. It seems like he decides to sing a song live not by how difficult it is vocally. A...

    NOW PLAYING

    Bloodbound - Field Of Swords The new album is quite solid as a whole piece, one of their strongest. Yes, the music is very samey, but it's effective, catchy and memorable. Power metal after all. This fusion style of Stratovarius and Nightwish. Good production. Patirk's voice is like a mix of...

    Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

    Such teaser would be appropriate for new music... ehhhhh. Something extra for the big Knebworth show. More bands (doubt), fun bonus stuff for fans, merch? A special artwork for the show would be nice. On this map we can spot pyramids and a tank- just hints for fun? edit: Maiden themed park...

    Not a strong Round. 11 Live at Donington [remaster] +3 7 Virus +2 5 BBC Archives 1 The History of Iron Maiden - Part 1: The Early Days +1 0 Iron Maiden [remaster] 0 Visions of the Beast LAD '92 is not the coolest, but it's a striking Eddie, the background works. Virus wins it because of the...

    Bruce Dickinson

    They both need each other, but Steve wasn't that sure about Bruce's return, he said that. And if Bruce's solo albums were more commercially successful. But what, another new singer, breaking up. Adrian wanted a solo career along with Maiden, Bruce now yes, but back then he was the star. All in...

    Yes, that's why it's odd that 2027 will be a holiday, but maybe they need a break for the next chapter of the band, be it 5+ years. Let's hope future setlists will be more interesting, it's up to Bruce. And doing more tours, I think it will be with new album/s. A pure deep cuts tour is a wildest...
