Just stumbled on this old thing... I thought I had it as a video file somewhere but couldn't find it anymore. Maybe that was for the better?

You have a point. That was cringeworthy.

Alas, the game ended up being quite a Ture even in late 90's standards. To think that it came out around the same time as, e.g, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time...

It came out a year after Half-Life, but wasn’t even as good as DOOM.

True, true.

Also, noticed that in the post I call the game "quite a Ture" (???) instead of "turd" as was intented, but oh well, gets the point across. phone keyboard word suggestions etc...

Oh yes: "that was Bruce Dickinson's face when 'e 'eard the new album"

Never seen that before. That was shocking

Fear of the dark promo. I cant find if bruce said " its the best record weve ever made"
1992

 

[Starblind]

a bruce solo interview, nice to see him promoting his own stuff on USA TV and while doing that he mentions a scorpions concert on the same night in the same area with him. i really liked this attitude.

I saw this headline scrolling through the Yahoo home page, not sure if it's already been posted somewhere here:

It seems it's from an upcoming new interview with Steve. He's said that before about the Blaze era, but not sure about VXI too. He called TXF a powerful album.

He also said that Maiden never made a perfect album (yes, he's still not a fan of Invaders and Gangland): ''not everything's going to be good, is it''.

^I disagree here.

Seventh son if its not perfect its like 99%.

Harris tells us: “I said it at the time and I still believe it – those two are really strong, powerful albums and people will appreciate them later. And people are going back and discovering them and realising they’re good.”

That's me. I am people.

 

[dickinson1978]

That's me. I am people.

Yeah me too. I didnt like blaze in 95 to 98. Still find horrendous him singing live with maiden. But that album is for him.

Same with Piece of Mind & Powerslave.

That was cool and kind of sweet how starstruck the anchor was! You'd never guessed he was a Maiden fan necessarily but he seems in the middle of the interview to have had his own 'holy shit!' moment Also, Leana seems to walk past at the end...

 

[dickinson1978]

I cant agree with that. Quest for fire sun and steel are not that good. And for me the same happens to powerslave.

And if we go after reunion for me bnw and amolad are in almost same situation. A few not great songs but no weaker.

That's Leana? Good, I almost thought Bruce would be confronted by her now, with the question who was walking around in that room.

All the albums mentioned have a couple of less inspiring tracks , most albums do.
For me the highs of POM & Powerslave are higher than SSOASS.

Of course. Is just a choice

 

[Vaenyr]

Thinking about it there's nothing on POM that gets even close to the final minutes of SSOASS's title track (in my opinion of course). My favorite moment on POM is probably the instrumental and solo section of QFF (that lead tone!), but that pales in comparison to SSOASS.

Revelations is an all time great track in my imaginary list and would be higher than the song SSOASS .
