I was until recently a Maiden live virgin: Maiden England Tour - Albuquerque, NM, 8-12-12 It was a great experience, and I'm looking forward to at least a couple more before the boys call it quits.

I just want to say that this is the best analogy I have seen before, since it shares the "you're not really hurting anyone" argument that is so often used to justify Internet piracy. The argument might go that showing the film costs the same whether 10 people are in the theater or 50, but in...

Hmmm, I'd actually say The Wicker Man is too high. It's a very good song, but I don't think it's a top 30 song, probably not even a top 50 song for me. I guess it holds some symbolic value though, being associated with the reunion.

But does that level of extreme metal provide significantly more cathartic benefit than, say, thrash metal (I've heard a few Slayer songs, and I'm pretty sure they're my upper limit, though I know of some Slayer songs that I'm not too sure about)? I much dislike the guttural vocals. Once I...

Yeah, that was pretty alarming. I question the value of that kind of music.

I'm just getting started out on bootleg stuff, and decided today to register to dimeadozen.org. However, when I tried to sign up, I received the following error message: "Access forbidden! You don't have permission to access the requested page. Reason: IP address [my IP address] is not...

I agree that the cover is awful, but that shouldn't be an influence on how you feel about the music. It isn't for me. Interesting how you like Wildest Dreams, I think most of the forum would disagree with you on that one. I'm not a huge fan of the chorus but I do like the overall vibe of that...

I'm curious, what don't you like about Coheed and Cambria? I'm not familiar with their material at all, but when I saw them opening for Maiden I thought that they were pretty good.

Few people have more embodied the dream of space and the vast potential of humanity. We have lost a hero, not only to one particular country, but to the whole of humanity.

Oh, please. You may not like Dance of Death, but "big shit" is way too strong. Iron Maiden never made anything that is properly classified as "big shit". I think, for example, that The Apparition is a fairly bland song compared to the rest of Maiden's catalog, but I'd rather listen to it than...

Dennis Wilcock!

Also, in the vein of some thrash metal bands, you should check out the early work of Metallica and Megadeth. In the case of Megadeth their recent stuff is good too, but the early albums are the best. Try Ride the Lightning from Metallica and Rust In Peace from Megadeth.

@The Flash: I also archive my music and have the composers all listed in all my songs only computer. But these are songs that I bought legally, most from iTunes and a few from Amazon MP3, as well as Brave New World and Dance of Death which I ripped from CDs (those albums are not available in...

Are you referring to Beckett's Rainbow's Gold? If so, I don't see many similarities besides the line "Catch... soul...willing to fly away." Which Steve should probably have attributed. However, unless you were referring to another song, most of Hallowed is Steve's work. Naturally, there is a...

I say to Kopinism what I say to every religion: You can practice your faith so long as you don't violate the rights of others. So just like Muslims shouldn't be allowed to force women to wear burkas and Christians shouldn't be allowed to force gays not to have romantic relationships, Kopinism...

That is true, but it can't be the only service that offers legal music streaming.

I would like to point out that there are legal ways to sample an album to see if you like it besides illegally downloading it. For example, you could use Spotify. Spotify has a free service which is like Pandora; a personalized radio station that plays songs similar to an artist, genre or song...

Piracy is theft. I am going to give one go to prove this, but some people simply will never accept the truth of this, so it's not worth trying beyond one. The only moral transcation between two individuals, or an individual and a group, or two groups, is one that is voluntarily agreed upon by...

See, I simply disagree with you on most of this. The Mercenary and The Fallen Angel both are very repetitive and feel like they are just to make the song long enough (The Mercenary to a worse degree, I do give The Fallen Angel credit for having 3 solos). I agree that Wildest Dreams is mediocre...

This is actually an excellent point, I think a lot of people take the joy that came with the Maiden reunion and then fail to evaluate Brave New World objectively. I think people too easily forgive BNW for The Mercenary and The Fallen Angel, which are below average Maiden songs, and then slam...
