Worst 21st Century Maiden Song

[Magnus]

But since you mention it, I (not you) prefer every single DiAnno era song to any of these. Not that it matters, buddy

Totally agree. Nomad over Sanctuary would be the single exception if the former was a genuine Maiden song.

About half of my Maiden top 10 is made up of 21st century songs. I've got "Empire of the Clouds", "The Red and the Black", "Starblind", "Brighter Than a Thousand Suns", and maybe "The Legacy" in there.

I think I have 7 reunion songs in my top 10. Probably more than anybody else here has.

 

[John Silver]

Yeah, “Blood Brothers” isn’t all that great, and “Empire Of The Clouds” is bloated and overrated, though I still think that one has a lot going for it.

FTGGOG and WTWWB are fantastic, though — not sure what you’re smoking there.

Speaking of bloated and not all that great, what do you think of this version...?

Well, no offense to Balze at all, but why are people gettin hung up on DiAnno so much when this is out there. Jeebus.
This is what Maiden shoulda coulda been had Dickinson not swung in on his white aeroplane and saved the day.
Dickinson, the beer god/licensed pilot twat/corparate nimwit from over yonder.

Maybe you speak some truth there, buddy. Stealing and dealing with Nomad gives the win to stealing yet reeling with Sanctuary though.

Is it a contest to like Nu Maiden more then?

Is it a contest to like Nu Maiden more then?

No. What I mean is that it's unusual to prefer modern Maiden over classic Maiden.

 

[KidInTheDark666]

Many people including you have their top 10 filled with only 80's songs.

Maybe, buddy.
But mine would be a total anomaly as it contains mainly DiAnno era songs.
But in the end it matters not, just as long as it is what you like. I can respect that and only occasionally insult you over it.

 

[Number 6]

Good on ya, buddy. Interested to learn which one is numero uno in your book then?

That one isn't a 21st century song. It's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner".

Alright buddy girl, I would have liked you to write Phantom of the Opera, but hey, Bruce the goose and all that fuckin nuisance. It's your call and all that nonsense.

As a matter of fact, "Phantom" was my favorite song for a long time, and to this day I still hold it in high regard (I'd be crazy not to).

 

[Deus_Adrian]

I didn't got very deep. Innocence, Jam/Vicar, King and Sorrows.

Chronological order -

Dream of Mirrors - never cared for this song, or the crazy amounts of ridiculous repetition
Gates of Tomorrow - alright
New Frontier - alright
Pass the Jam - shouldn't really be on this list but since it is gets my vote
More Tea Vicar - same
Mother of Mercy - worst one by far, just horrible on all fronts - lyrics, performance, etc.
The Man Who Would Be King - pretty much the same as Mother of Mercy but with a cool outro that saves it
