Hey, im new here, but and altho as good as this site is, i cant help but notice the person is obsessed with the "Golden era" stuff....(whoever did the commentary)
Now im a huge maiden fan as im sure u all are [!--emo&--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'tongue.gif\' /][!--endemo--] ....and i notice on top of the 'No Paryer' and 'Fear of the dark' albums it says "Decline"....what a load of bollocks to put it bluntly.
Yes ok, Adrian had left....Maiden changed, but i dont see why ppl complain(ed) cos if Janick had copied Adrian you would have moaned about him not being origional. Bruces voice had changed, but he didnt abandon the old style of singing, hence 'Wasting Love' and 'Fear Of The Dark' and 'Bring Youre Daughter..' They were the same band, that adapted a little to a line up change, and i like Bruces more growled vocals as well as the older style, it worked on the songs they had written at the time.
This annoys me when people say that Maiden went downhill after 'Seventh son' cos its just obviously not true. Look at the album chart positions....i mean..Maidens "Worst" album (with bruce) got them to number 1 in the Uk singles charts and No.2 in the album charts. Fear of the dark got them to No.1 in the album charts, and it has to be said, No Parayer and Fear Of The Dark are damn good albums, but you cant expect someone like Adrian to leave and expect janick to have come in and instantly have made the next "Number Of The Beast", it was a good debut album for him, and Fear of the dark proved he was more than capeable of writing good songs. And I read that "there are some unusually short songs on the album" er....Maiden do write short songs! [!--emo&--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/sleep.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'sleep.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
Basically, if any fan was that devoted they wud except Adrian aint on the albums and realise how good they are! cos if u dont like 'No Prayer' and 'Fear Of The Dark' then u cant be THAT much of a fan, cos those albums are just as good as the so called "Golden era" albums...
(just for the record......The Bayley albums are class albums as well!...ALL the maiden albums rule!)
Bottom Line:
IT WASNT A DECLINE!!!!!
I kno that was an aggressive first post, but i just had to get that off my chest [!--emo&--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/rolleyes.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'rolleyes.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
