Your current Maiden ‘kick’

I go through phases with listening to different albums or eras of Maiden. Currently, I have En Vivo in the car and I am really enjoying it. I have always been watching 2010 bootlegs and the Wacken footage from that tour. I am on a proper Final Frontier ‘kick’ at the moment.

How about you? What are your Maiden listening habits at the moment?

I went through a really bizarre NPFTD / Virtual XI kick a while back — I guess I just wanted to troll the bottom of the barrel for a while. Made returning to the better albums all the more sweet in the end.

And did you come away thinkin how actually class No Prayer is? That what I do when I hear it every 5yrs or so.

My current Maiden kick, hmmmmmm, not really on one. Trying not to over saturate myself before Paris.

Brave New World and Dance Of Death at the moment. Really hoping they would return to some songs from this era on their next tour.

As much as I'd like to see a "From The X Factor to Senjutsu" tour in the vein of the ongoing, I think that it might just be "From Brave New World to Senjutsu". Especially since No Prayer for the Dying has gotten as much love and care from them as Cinderella got from her stepsisters

Im with you dont know why but i usually skip the number of the beast. After all this years there are albums that i dont revisit often. But its like SIT when i revisit i have fun again.
 
I've had this DiAnno era one in heavy rotation for the last few months. I love the speed, energy and agression.
And the 2nd half of Final Frontier as well for the last year or two.

A little bit of No Prayer and Fear of the dark actually. They are usually been spinning during the fall for me. Most summers I play Piece of mind - seventh son of a seventh son

NPFTD actually sits in the middle of the pack of Maiden albums for me, as the other 90s albums and the Di’anno stuff are worse, IMO. So yeah, it’s a bit unfairly maligned.
 
I went on a kick of trying to find the perfect soundboard representations of every tour, and then never listened to them because too little time/too many of the same songs on each recording tour after tour. So, I went and made A Real Live One/Dead One-esque amalgams of new songs played with crowd noise blended together through Audacity.

I did 1982-1983 to start (I was never big on Di'Anno's style personally) and used mostly recordings from Beast Over Hammersmith and some PoM-era soundboards to fill in the new songs played from that era until I had a bit over an hour's worth of material. Did that all the way up to present, including the Blaze era with a curated selection of Bruce material that sounded okay-ish--The Trooper surprisingly(!) didn't make an appearance there).

It's not perfect, but it's a decent way to get a quick rundown of going through the eras and avoiding endless Troopers, Iron Maidens, and Halloweds, etc. A few notable gaps are frustrating, such as no soundboard quality versions of Sea of Madness, for example. The closest one is taken from a VHS recording, and that has that high-pitched whine over it which is impossible to ignore.

Upload it somewhere! Google Drive or YouTube! I want to hear it!
 
Maybe it isn’t a “kick” but since London last year, I have mostly listened to 7th Son from their catalogue. I am on another binge of it on the lead up to Knebworth (although I still haven’t got a ticket)

It may have finally toppled SIT as my favourite 80s album

Probably my top seven albums in the whole back catalogue, good way to put it.

Current kick: Beast over Hammersmith DVD from early days. Just watched it for first time in a decade, it is sublime. (Listened to the CD a lot too)
