Alchemy Of A Second Golden Age: Iron Maiden's Senjutsu Reviewed | The Quietus

There was nothing inevitable about the 21st century renaissance of Iron Maiden. Following the departure of the talismanic Bruce Dickinson in 1993 which ended the band’s decade-long “Golden Era”, the heavy metal giants struggled to stay relevant during the rest of the 90s, entering what looked...

[frus]

But fans turned the guitar melodies to woahing on that one (FOTD)

The final frontier

 

[Severian]

what song on this album could have woahs in it and would it make the song better? HOE probably the most obvious candidate but i don't know where you would put them.

On a similar note it would have been nice if The Parchment had orchestration on it to give it a kind of a Maurice Jarre type feel to it, although I do hate that synthetic orchastra sound alot of bands use. Can you fit a 80-piece orchestra inside Guillaume Tell?

Heaven Can Wait and The Wicker Man want to have a word with you.

Still dont like them in studio version.
Live version is great ofc.

I'm so glad they left out those shitty whoas choirs this time!

 

[frus]

The Trooper has a woah chorus
What do you say to that?

Ok, I failed on that one

I really like them in "The Red and the Black". I admit "Heaven Can Wait" is kinda cheesy (to me) but I am glad to find they can work.

 

[Poto]

These Colours Don't Run has a great woah-part.

Bruce’s The magician could have been a great Maiden song live. Seriously, what’s not to love songs with woah parts

No, you'd record the orchestra separately in a large room or chamber.

probably not worth it then
