Ok, cheers mate! Up the Irons!

I don't want to insult anyone, but I must admit, I'm not a huge fan of modern Maiden. I think the band has headed towards a more epic song-writing with more depth perhaps, but lost some of it's vitality and immediate energy. The symphonic sound and proggression has been highlighted and I can...

Lots of great nominees, I guess I would still have to go with Purgatory played live. Insane and intense. Murders in the Rue Morgue is brilliant in this department, too. I say this, though my favourite albums are Beast, Mind and Slave. Their greatness lies in the balance of energy to melody and...

"Nail that FUCKER, kill that son..." But I guess, that's there on purpose.

Things that annoy me about Iron Maiden? The nineties;) @ Night Prowler You mentioned there is no dvd release from Early Days tour. But, having seen the Ullevi Show on tv, doesn't Bruce deliberately hint that the show should be distributed via Internet to all Maiden fans free of charge? I always...

"Don't you think I'm a savior Don't you think I could save you Don't you think I could save your life" I get it at first, but as this lyrical line is repeated the 754th time I think I've lost the meaning. Maybe they should make an extended 30 minute version of this song and it would make sense...

Are there any other rare but official single/album covers that have been released somewhere around the world or is the Di'Anno-Maiden Japan a unique case? I remember seeing Riggs' artwork for Fear of the Dark (Eddie as a vampire), but I don't think that ever materialised as an actual lp cover...

Cool! I wonder if I should get one as I currently am missing that version. I wonder if Freewheel-intro has ever been released on cd anywhere.

@Perun That's a good question. Is there anyone on this forum who has one? Are these photos authentic? http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=2146924 Now all I need is someone lending me 1000 euros... There's one for sale in France:p Yet, on the other hand, if someone simply likes that...

Okay. So at least some of the vinyls that have the infamous Di'Anno cover are the real deal and not bootlegs? Good to know. Cheers!:notworthy:

@mckindog I don't know which version of Freewheel does that maxi-single have? Does it include the intro?

Err... that's a tough one. Dennis Stratton? ... Just kidding. I would say that Smith+Murray have a unique chemistry between them. Neither of them is the traditional guitar hero, but their playing really complements each other. To me Murray is more spontaneous, led by emotion (I see him kind...

Thanks! Once more, I shouldn't dis Seventh Son completely, as I think Infinite Dreams is a damn fine track, and one of the most progressive Maiden did. There are a couple of other great tracks there, too, I guess the biggest problem I have is with Can I Play with Madness, really.

Hi! A while ago, I got the 2-cd version of Killers (1995, us edition). On disc two, there are 8 bonus tracks, including all the five tracks originally released in the us-version of Maiden Japan. The euro version omits Wrathchild, always has. I was just wondering, is this 2-cd version the only...

I guess Aces High. My older brother used to play a lot of music, so I must've heard some others before, unknowingly. The song that really got me hooked was Powerslave, though. No going back after hearing that:rocker:

I think Saapanael is right about the terrible mix. The clean guitar is out of sync, no doubt about that. Yet, if they were in a rush, who knows. I haven't yet heard this type of entended mix that I would have liked. I like real players, not computers, that's why I listen to metal in the first...

Oh, I didn't know that. No wonder it sounds quite dodgy:D Of the slight edits, also Living After Midnight was "raped" - the intro drum cut in half, for some reason... Why? The song lasts only 3'31 anyhow...

Sorry, this is going to be a long comment again... If some of these things have already been mentioned I apologise. Yep, I kinda like the Freewheel-intro (is it the same as the solo backing chords?), and got to know about it only recently. Hmm... Of the rare songs/versions I know, I believe...

Cheers, everyone! Yep, I am a Finn, so if certain words or phrases in my comments seem weird/out of place, it is because of that. Wait! No... It is probably just me being weird :nana:

My goodness, Ram it Down seems to energize a lot of discussion! Brilliant:clap: Sorry, if this is off-topic, but I'm sure you know the "extended" version of Freewheel Burning? The one with the intro? () I was wondering do they have any other single versions with "extra stuff"? I know there...
