I don’t have a general problem with HOE, it’s actually a nice song. But I don’t understand the hype around this track. Not in the slightest. From the "I wish I could go back"-part onwards, it starts sounding like traditional German hiking songs to my ears. And later on, the "love in anger, life...

Will they actually come up with the museum in other places and venues as well, any plans like that been discussed yet?

Just a little mental excursion to another Maiden album: It's the exact same case with me regarding Hell On Earth.

I don't get why The Man Of Sorrows gets so much hate. I personally love the first "and their light is their darkness no more" lin, and the 1980s vibe to it. May not be among their BEST songs, but anyway...

It is! But NPFTD is not among the first seven albums, and that's what the thread is about. And yeah, NPFTD does knock out SIT for me.

Somewhere In Time will always have a special place for me since it was the current album when I got into Maiden.

It was kind of a big thing. I was 25 years old back then and was deep inside the Maiden thing from 1986 on already, and it was sort of a sensation. And I remember, witnessing them coming out on stage during Ed Huntour was amazing. What a moment. Sure, it was a little before BNW, but the tour...

Rate the songs of Book of Souls best (top) to least good (bottom) Here's my rating: Shadows Of The Valley (yes, I really love that one) (10/10) Empire Of The Clouds (9/10) If Eternity Should Fail (9/10) Death Or Glory (8.5/10) (this one has significantly grown from a bottom tier to one of my...

Could actually someone briefly explain the Lazarus story to me? I never quite got into what it was actually all about. All I gathered was that there was apparently some behind-the-scenes friction regarding the passing-on of the drumsticks.

What seems a plausible scenario going on in fact? Just curious.

Dunno what the problem is. I think he is being an upgrade to them, and I like his drumming, there is some kind of bright presence about it. Perhaps I'm the only one here, but I personally am completely fine with him. And what I also liked is that they did the whole thing/replacement without...

When I get home from work, which is pretty exact 7:30 p.m. every day, I'm opening all my windows at home and give my neighborhood a blast of three Maiden songs each day. I'm doing this for more than two years now. They know what to expect. And they get nothing but Maiden (or Bruno solo stuff)...

THIS. My cousin recently wanted me to help him getting deeper into Maiden, we went together to the show in Hannover, which was his 1st Maiden show (and my 57th), and in all this his context he was super surprised when I explained to him he would never ever make it only anywhere near to the...

Still surprised that Prodigal Son is rated a filler every now and then. :) For me, that one is the essential center piece on Killers (well, on a same level as the title track) :wub:

Are there any songs commonly agreed to be an album "filler track" that you do enjoy a lot, and that's actually more than just an average song for you? For me, that’s definitely the case with "The Prophecy."

I'm not a singer so I can't really judge on that: What are actually the most challenging vocal parts Bruce ever did with Maiden? And one sub-question: Sometimes he altered the way of singing things over the years, so some live versions sound different to their studio originals. What vocal lines...

am i actually the only one who is not really interested in his biography and the spoken word tour? :blush:

And I think Steve knows this very well - which is why he has no desire to record a new album. Cause if #18 was such a half baked stuff like Senjutsu, he would see his own legacy endangered. It's simply the fear not being able to continue in the tradition of better days. Just an opinion of course.

p.s.: I have to admit tho: until recently, I didn't even know a city named Charlotte existed. Heard about it recently because my girlfriend & future wife, who is American, is changing plane to Europe there, coming from Detroit.

And in Lübeck, Germany, there is a district called Fegefeuer, which means Purgatory. (No kidding, you can check on Google maps if you want.)
