:lol:not really, Andante's post just made me remember of this talk we had about it, with a friend, long years ago...fun story, but that's about it...it's just fun sometimes to try to imagine a different reality...oh and not really into "new Coke", I'd rather have a belgian trappist beer or a...

On one hand I would definetly agree with this statement but on the other there is always some gray areas and decisions that are not that easy to understand. Per example, I think they all knew right from the start that Blaze's voice wasn't on the same level as Bruce's and that he will probably...

I remember talking about this matter with one of my best friends who is also a huge Maiden fan and here is what we came up with: - In the early 90's Maiden were starting to be considered or were already considered and seen as an 80's band, the kind of band you tend to think more about what they...

All albums are back to Spotify including the live ones

Thanks for the detailed description, I forgot a bit about all the details, I just remember that I really love those releases and that there was a lot of very cool stuff to read, lot of details that I wasn't eve aware (with all of this I almost forgot about the live recordings and other demos...

I tend to support Maiden most of the time and agree with a lot of things they do and the way they do it but when it comes to anniversary releases, I must say they're among the most ridiculous I've ever seen. For the 40th anniversary of the debut album, what did we get...a clear picture disc...

Their guitarist situation of the 80's where one of the two was more like a statue on stage, hardly moving and looking serious (or should I say bored) as hell? And no bashing of Adrian here, he's a great guitar player and great writer but in terms of stage presence...no comment (even if he...

I'm gonna repeat some that have already been said: - Strange world: it has for some reason a very late 60's/70's vibe that is nowhere to be found in any other Maiden song - Innocent exile: you can really feel that it was of the first songs Steve wrote, the rhythm and riff is quite unusual for...

Juste between us, great Rush quote;)

What can be said about such a perfect album? Never get tired of listening ot it!!

Ok, just for fun but there are at least 50, 100 more songs that I could have included here (with at least 95% of Maiden songs) 1. IRON MAIDEN - Rime of the ancient Mariner (close second: Alexander the great or Hallowed be thy name) 2. FATES WARNING - At fate's hands (close second: 95% of their...

Actually for me the fun fact was that I was just browsing through the website I mentionned and I just put play on that song and I was like "wahouhh, this is very similar to a song I know very well". And what is "fun" as well regarding these riffs is that when some bands just try to sue others...

Ah this bring back memories, there was an article in a french magazine a few weeks before BNW came out and the writer of the article had the chance to listen to four songs of the album, including The Wicker Man and he mentionned "Spreading the disease" as well. I almost forgot about this one.

Yeah I fully agree, its a very basic riff as well. Its just that not only this time its exactly the same but also the building of the song as well (intro riff used also for the verse and the rhythm is almost identical). Its more or less the same as the 2 minutes to midnight riff, Im sure there...

This is a subject that has been talked a lot before, the fact that the main riff has a lot of similarities with many other metal songs (since this is a very "basic" riff), specially Running Wild of Judas Priest as fas as I remember but while I was browsing a "traditional heavy metal discovery...

Sign of the southern cross - Black Sabbath

Same feeling about Ozzy here btw...Randy is one of very favorite guitar players but I can't stand Ozzy in general (so I mainly focus just on the music itself while listening to these two albums!)...always thought he was one the luckiest guys on earth, that was just there at the right place at...

Very interesting analysis I must say. Months and years go by, and feelings stay the same (or became even stronger): it's one hell of an album! I never get tired of listening to all of it (maybe minus The Darkest Hour, while not bad at all, its still on the same level as other calm songs they've...

Senjutsu: 8 Stratego: 8.5 The writing on the wall: 8 Lost in a lost world: 7.5 Days of future past: 8 Time machine: 8.5 Darkest hour: 7 Death of the celts: 8 The parchment: 10 Hello on earth: 10 Probably my favorite from the reunion era along with BNW and AMOLAD

It means that in just two albums and I'm talking stricktly from a guitar technique point of view (been playing guitar for more than 30 years now...I'm that old!), its difficult to explain it with words rather than showing it but when you take a guitar and try to learn EVH stuff and RR stuff...
