    Maidenfans Best Albums of the Millennium: 2014

    Empire Of The Undead - underrated Gamma Ray album imo. It has 1-2 weaker songs, but the rest is strong quality of theirs with some new classics. Blind Rage - one of their strongest albums as a whole piece, maybe THE one from the Mark era. It's full of bangers with only 1 filler! The songs are...

    Which songwriting team is your favourite?

    It's easy for me to say Harris solo (Dickinson solo are also winners), but since it's a songwriting team: Gers/Harris. For the epicness of the songs. I have to mention Harris/Smith/Dickinson, quality stuff. We haven't had that combo on the last 2 albums. I also enjoy Smith/Dickinson(ofc)...

    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    Adrian is just pure class. I like how he said he thinks Nicko was the best player in the band (''it would never be the same, very distinctive style, we love him, he's incredible and he'll always be a part of the band''). He also added that Maiden's choice of band members is always if they know...

    Best New Music 2025 Edition

    Battle Beast's new album, Steelbound, continues the quality line from the previous one. Similar albums. IMO - only 1 filler from 9 songs (one song is just a 2-minute intro)! Every song is memorable/has a memorable part, which is not that easy, despite their style. Noora's voice makes everything...

    At first I really thought the vocals are live because Bruce's voice (not the screams, they're top) during the verses sounds kind of odd, even for 1982, like it's too dramatic. I'm not a fan of them, it's like a different voice, Samson-like. TNOTB album has no such vocals. 2005 is pure gold for...

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    Definitely, better representation and variety. They do it for some break and fun. Btw, the song played for the first time since 1987 is a challenge for Kiske, he doesn't sound that good.

    https://www.instagram.com/falconfaulkner/p/DHMHA3dR6V_/?hl=bg Richie and Rob won their categories in the Japanese Burrn magazine readers' choice. Ahead of Adrian and Bruce (Steve won his category). Such a praise for Richie, he can't believe it. With the new album. Top player after all, he just...

    Official Iron Maiden artwork and fan drawn Eddies (no AI images please)

    New POM art that we missed from the comic book. It's like a continuation of the album cover, Eddie looking through the cell (for Icarus!). I like it, but why Eddie isn't colorful?

    Album Cover Art Cup <<WINNER: Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper >>

    The full art is nothing short of an epic! Yeah, lots of details and more colors, the one in the game emphasizes the whale, but they are all good and mystical. Not refined, but deep. Definitely. Still it's good.

    Album Cover Art Cup <<WINNER: Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper >>

    6 Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper 4 Mastodon - Leviathan +1 So here it is, the FINAL. I thought Helloween, Holy Diver (to mention some, Terminal Redux had a good run too, etc) would be here, but the 2 covers are striking. I'm glad Leviathan is so liked - and I vote for it because it looks better to...

    I'm a big fan of Prowler '88 version. Bruce's vocals at that time suit it and (a perfect example of) the production makes it shine even more, especially Dave's solo. Like the drums & rhythm guitar production for Bruce's version of Bring Your Daughter, it's the same. The originals are perfect...

    Best Maiden album cover art:

    Powerslave - a definition of epic, timeless art! Killers - the classic image of Eddie and background, enough said. Brave New World - the art is very captivating with the futuristic city and (even with just) Eddie's head. The colors add a lot, striking image. Fear Of The Dark - one of the best...

    Sabaton

    The new album is, well, generic Sabaton. I don't think it's stronger than the previous one. Some interesting and cool stuff, ofc - and solos(!). Best songs: ''Templars'', ''Hordes Of Khan'', ''Maid Of Steel'' (first 2 albums style), ''Lightning At The Gates''. more: cool drumming and...

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    Good call, even the Keeper is talking lol... their new show is over the top of the things he mentioned. But the moving screen, during this song, is cool and effective in its own way. Imagine the same for Maiden's TFP tour, it would have been noticeable. Not to mention the moving metal eagle. The...

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    Short version of the ballad?? I think Andi's voice is perfect for In The Middle Of A Heartbeat. The chorus of King For A 1000 Years is pure Keepers era, so it's fitting for Kiske. Btw, is King also shorter? What's the point.

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    This is one of their most interesting setlist in a long time. They promised rare songs. One of their best? Not sure. Overall it's quite solid for the mixed themes. Btw, combining an anniv tour and a new album tour saves them time. For a 40th anniv/new album tour, they are playing songs from...

    Blaze Bayley

    I didn't know that I Live My Way was the first song recorded and that Steve considered it to be a single. Curious but correct decision not to be. Agreed about the B-sides. They didn't fit on a single CD is also a good call. Agreed about I Live My Way, but I wouldn't call Judgement Day (it's...

    Venger - From Worlds Unknown First single from Saxon's Doug Scarratt debut solo album. 2 guitarists. A surprise. I dig it. Melodic and riffy (power metal-esque) with nice vocals and solo (Doug deliver with it and the main melody/harmonies), the chorus is interesting. The songs themes and...
