Our FM metal station, 96.7 here in Southern Cali, still never plays Maiden.  They'll play Ozzy's latest single, old Dio, Ozzy-era Sabbath, Metallica, Megadeth (once in a blue moon), you name it, but a Maiden play is very rare.

I still think radio is a huge influence on the casual music listener - those who aren't necessarily visiting music websites or following specific bands or checking out the local record store weekly.  My wife, for example - she listens to the radio pretty non-stop while driving, and the songs she...

I feel the same way.  Lots of interesting parts, great intro, classic outrio, cool atmosphere, but as a whole doesn't do much for me.

Exactly.  You can't claim the US of A killed Maiden after SSoaSS.  Like it or not, their hard rock direction on NPFTD and FOTD turned off most listeners - not only in America, but in other countries as well. Sweet!  Updated... any others?

What are you going on about?  Because America isn't huge on your favorite bands, you can go around insulting its citizens?  In case it wasn't clear, Iron Maiden, an act that literally gets 0 airplay on the radio or television, has the number 4 record in the country.  Seriously, there are three...

Uh, what he said  :D

So some countries don't dig Maiden so much... is that a crime?  I know I did my part buying two copies. Maiden landed at number 4 in the US, it's official http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbe ... mID=145069

Love your comment on Starblind: "This one deserves a full review. Amazing. A++."  Tell us how you really feel LC. Wish I had time for a full review; instead, my number ratings / quick comments 1.) Sat 15...TFF - 9/10 - two very different tracks mashed together perfectly 2.) El Dorado - 8.5/10 -...

That bugs me so much.  If you rated the album a 1, you probably don't like heavy metal at all.  Don't be an idiot.  Sheesh.  I may not be a huge Korn or Papa Roach fan but I wouldn't go giving their albums 1.

No spoiler tags, as long as thread is labeled for spoilers

I can neither confirm nor deny that I listened to the new Accept record, and I have no comment on if it may or may not be their best since Restless & Wild.  :DAnd for interested parties, the new The Sword record is streaming on www.myspace.com/thesword

Where are you guys getting this album @?  Amazon says release date isn't until September (in the US, that is.)New The Sword tomorrow also!

Funny you describe it as "monochromatic" - that's exactly how I feel, yet it's still my favorite record pending continued listens of TFF.  I love the consistency, how it feels like a giant hour-long epic.  That being said, TFF's variety is giving it a ton of re-spin value.

Add Como Estais Amigos to that list.  Been loving that one.

The Man Who Would Be King Crazy how true this is.
