I do not intend to claim that one party copied another or anything as such. I just happen to find the main riff from a bollywood song strikingly similar to that from 'The Writing On The Wall'. Interestingly it came out much before TWOTW. Do you guys also notice it??

High On Fire One of my new favourite bands right now. Really like their brand of Sludge/Stoner Metal (with hints of even Thrash). Their sound often draws comparison with Black Sabbath and Motorhead. Matt Pike is a riffmaster. Rush Prog/Hard rock giants! At times I find it amusing how that music...

Some of my favourites (Top 10 basically) :shred:: - Dave Murray/Adrian Smith (and also Janick for that matter) (Iron Maiden) - Glenn Tipton/K.K. Downing (Judas Priest) - Alex Skolnick/Eric Peterson (Testament) - James Hetfield/Kirk Hammett (Metallica) - Jeff Hannemann/Kerry King (Slayer) -...

As the title suggests. It is not that you necessarily hate or dislike a particular band, you may just not care much or never bothered to check their discography. I will start first. Hellyeah - Hell Of A Time Even though having some talent - Chad Gray (Mudvayne), Vinnie Paul (Pantera). I...

Welcome to the altar my friends! :p Can't believe we don't have a thread for "Best/Favourite Adrian Smith songs" considering the enormous fandom for Adrian on the forum and we have seperate threads for each member for the same topic (except Nicko as we all know New Frontier is the best Maiden...

https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxnZgTJC0qYEk-5h3NDnFlU_7mE9DxWEIA?feature=shared Saw a clip on YouTube of "MTV Metal Music Half Hour" from 1986 (I've put the stamp in the video above) where an advertisement occurs for SIT album. Now many of you may have seen it back in the day but for newer fans...

Now don't look at me like that! Someone had to do it. As of now, we have no official news or statement regarding the next album. So, it is going to be solely speculation based. You may discuss what you are expecting from the next album. Themes, production, tonality or anything music-wise. Also...

I feel like this totally needs to be a topic of discussion. You can mention your favourite drum moments by Nicko, can be from any of the songs or live performances. Some of my favourites are: Of course the intro to Where Eagles Dare. Powerslave (song). The entirety of Somewhere In Time...

"I think the music reflects the state that the society is in... poets and musicians... reflect that age." - John Lennon In a new study published in the journal 'Scientific Reports', it has found that song lyrics have become simpler and more repetetive since the last fourty years. This...

Whenever I look at the homepage that someone has posted in the 'News, Links and Interviews' section, the first thought that comes to mind is, "wait, can it be about the new album!?" then turns out there is a random discussion going on. Not to mention, even Bruce's solo thread at times turns into...

Alright, after strolling across some similar threads before, I was surprised why it totally ended. So why not start it again? I think it will be a good space for discussing music and introducing fellow members to artists/songs that you think should get recognition (not including Maiden songs as...

Since we already have a GnR thread, I decided to make one for all the other projects having the guitarist Slash in his full capacity. For the record these bands and albums are: Slash's Snakepit: It's Five O'Clock Somewhere (1995) Ain't Life Grand (2000) Velvet Revolver: Contraband (2004)...

To begin with, I will state the obvious: Michael Kiske of Helloween. Though not strikingly same range but his vocals definitely reminds of early 80s Bruce. Joe Comeau (Liege Lord/Annihilator) also has a very similar voice to Bruce. Tommy Paris (stage name) of Glam metal band Britny Fox, who...

Awesome band! Definitely deserves a thread of it's own. Their first two albums: Alice In Hell and Never, Neverland are stone-cold classics in the Thrash sub-genre. Third album Set The World On Fire is more in the lines of Metallica/Countdown To Extinction in terms of accessibility and appeal...

If you ask me, it is of course the year 1990. Some of my absolute favourite albums were released during the time. Actually the entire time period from 1989-90 is my favourite which saw the the culmination of 80s Metal. Pantera made an insane comback with Cowboys From Hell which in my opinion has...

You know the drill! Just go for any genre. Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare Black Label Society - Order Of The Black Havok - Time Is Up Vektor - Terminal Redux Exmortus - Slave To The Sword Special mention: Sylosis - Edge Of The Earth Redemption - Long Night's Journey Into Day Both the Maiden...

Since @Dick Brucinson has already made similar threads on previous decades, so I decided to make one for 2000s. You can pick from any genre. Iron Maiden - A Matter Of Life And Death Nevermore - Dead Heart In A Dead World Avenged Sevenfold - City Of Evil Shadows Fall - The War Within Dream...

Both albums having Metal's greatest vocalists - Bruce Dickinson (The Chemical Wedding) and Rob Halford (Fight - War Of Words) Both were released when the vocalists were not a part their main acts (Iron Maiden and Judas Priest) Both the records follow a groove metal approach, a stylistic shift...

Enough with the lists! Yes, I know its tough to pick just a single song but I want you to mention that one Maiden track which you absolutely love. If possible, do post a write-up/essay on it. You may mention your own interpretation to the song, popular/cultural references to it, related live...

Yes folks, you guessed it right, time for Top 10 Maiden riffs! I'm surprised how this topic hasn't been touched before. Anyway, here we go! :shred::shred::shred: My top 10 riffs: 1. The Trooper (intro/outro + chorus riffs) 2. 2 Minutes To Midnight (main riff) 3. Phantom Of The Opera (intro +...
