    Album production, overall sound - loudness war?

    I've just completed my degree in Broadcasting, and one of my final projects to was to talk about the principles of editing. Half of my compare and contrast was just showing the cuts from the Rock in Rio 2001 DVD vs. Flight 666 performances. I got an A :P

    The Final Frontier Reviews Thread

    They suck, but even they at least they try to give justifications for their opinions. Garbage like that two word review is the same kind of crap I've heard all of my life about metal. I listen to all kinds of music from wildly different genres, and nothing is as pigeonholed and looked down upon...

    A couple of questions about recent Iron Maiden tours

    It'll probably be the usual maiden returning to America tour, y'know  a few shows on the east coast, maybe one in the midwest or texas, and Los Angeles, and then probably down south of the border.

    The First Ten Years on vinyl (for sale)

    Hot damn. If I weren't a poor recent college graduate, you'd have piqued my interest.

    Are you pleased with Maiden's direction?

    ...I bash gangland all the time :P It's my least favorite Maiden song.

    Maiden's war songs

    hey, it's your topic. Just my opinion o'course, and I wouldn't change my vote anyway (if there were 5 choices that'd be different), but in general your list is spot on.

    How good are Iron Maiden (individually)?

    Well yes. It's the most unrestrained classic metal album ever made. :P Though to be perfectly honest, I know Ian Hill has been part of the band since the beginning, but could you imagine even how much better Painkiller would have been had they had a bass player more along the lines of 'Arry or...

    Are you pleased with Maiden's direction?

    it's funny, I hear a lot of people comparing this album to AMOLAD, which to me sounds nothing like TFF. In my opinion, it's pretty clear that BNW-AMOLAD is distinct from TFF, but maybe people are just talking about song and album length.

    How good are Iron Maiden (individually)?

    Scott Travis is all over that entire album, except for Touch of Evil. Just because he climaxed on the intro to painkiller doesn't mean he hasn't kicked severe amounts of ass since then. But yes, I do agree to an extent (RACER X KICK ASS)

    How good are Iron Maiden (individually)?

    Well the thing about Nicko is that he has such a great feel for the music that Maiden produces. It's not like in Judas Priest who make much more straightforward songs, and thus got a serious upgrade when Scott Travis went behind the kit.

    Maiden's war songs

    I dunno I feel like the Clansman is more of a war song than Alexander for sure or even Invaders.

    The Final Frontier Reviews Thread

    I find it interesting that so many people have such difficulty with this album. I find it a much easier listen than AMOLAD (which was so thematically heavy) and the fact that there are basically 3 straightforward kick-ass rock songs on here as opposed to basically two on AMOLAD (Out of the...

    Only Nicko is hard to follow for me, but I get what you mean.

    Are you pleased with Maiden's direction?

    Yes, absolutely. My taste in music has matured, and Maiden have put out albums that suit where I am with my taste. If I could change anything about this era at all, would be a stronger single on AMOLAD, which would have shut all of the haters up forever. Not that I don't like Breeg or Different...

    The Talisman

    I love this song, and it's my 2nd favorite on the album (behind Isle of Avalon) but really hurts this one, moreso than probably any other song on the album... I feel like Bruce is trying to fit too many words into too small of a place at times. I mean it's not like Isle isn't wordy either, but...

    USA Politics

    I do, I do! I absolutely think it's entirely lame of the majority of representatives in the state legislature more or less being for gay marriage but too afraid politically to do anything about it. That's why it had to be judicial. At any rate, it should surprise no one that a case of rights...

    album themes

    I come from a Jewish family, Jeff. There are certain phrases that you can't shirk from your lexicon unless you actively think about it. Also, colloquial terms and slang and whatnot. It's not as if when I proclaim Holy Shit, it means that the feces has been blessed.

    Thank god. I can certainly live without the re-proliferation of Polio, thank you very much.

    Bullshit is amazing. If nothing else, it got me to stop buying bottled water.
