Iron Maiden are garbage in my opinion.

I recently counted that I think I have the song Iron Maiden at least 16 separate times across CDs, vinyls, Blu Rays and DVDs

Navin Johnson posted:I was at fourth night (added show) Long Beach Arena on the Powerslave tour. Much of that show can be found on "Live After Death". You lucky bastard. I just about wore that VHS tape out as a teenager. I’ve just brought Bruce’s autobiography with me on holiday to Gran Canaria, going to start reading it on the beach tomorrow. This is the best thread in the whole of forums history.

food court bailiff posted:...really? i mean i'm sure i would because like i said it's faster and requires more control but honestly i've played classical piano pretty seriously for almost three decades so i've got a pretty good innate sense of time and have never thought "this would be way easier if i was keeping time with my picking hand regardless of what's being played" i'm just gonna post because I've played piano for years and plink around on a guitar (you're probably better than me) - to me it sounds like an issue of developing a bad habit now which might make it difficult to play more complex stuff later? I guess idk how much more complex it gets than Iron Maiden though.

my favorite album was always seventh son of a seventh son because it was weird and kinda spooky at points. I'm kinda surprised so many people here apparently think somewhere in time is their best album though, I kind of always figured the consensus "best" album was powerslave worst album is probably one of the blaze bayley albums but I've never actually listened to virtual xi and the x factor still has several good songs

symbolic posted:Somewhere in Time is their best album, I will never budge on this. You misspelled Number of the Beast. (I had it on vinyl... twice) Just because it was the most popular does not mean it was not their best work. Powerslave was solid as hell though. After that the music just got a bit too polished, too "clean" IMO. Hasselblad fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Jan 24, 2018 |

Hasselblad posted:You misspelled Number of the Beast. (I had it on vinyl... twice) This, Number of the beast is loving amazing. I grew up with a kid who lived next door to Bruce's mother, It's how I got into Maiden and Number of the Beast was the first track/album I ever owned. I finally got to seem them live in London for the first time last year and it was loving amazing.

Iron Maiden is really loving good. Went to see them, like, a decade ago now, and Bruce had amazing stage presence.

I didn’t grow up with Maiden and I wouldn’t say I’m a fan, but every song I listen to I’m like “drat these guys own” Edit: it’s like one of those bands that never exploded to the top of mainstream consciousness but they’re super solid and have a long career I guess

Number of the Beast is the best but Powerslave is a real close second.

Powerslave is best, Brave New world is pretty up there I acutally dont mind some of the Blaze Bayley tracks- nowhere near as good as Dickinson but X Factor has some bangers

romanowski posted:are their last two or three albums any good? I stopped listening to maiden after dance of death I think this was supposed to just be placeholder art like "here's the idea i came up with, lemme know if you guys like the concept and i'll turn it into an actual album cover" and maiden just said "GREAT WE'LL TAKE IT"

Iron Crowned posted:Is there no love for Piece of Mind? imo Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, and Powerslave are the quintessential maiden albums, but of the three Piece of Mind is probably the most underappreciated e: lol I forgot that the trooper came from piece of mind. but still

Seventh Son is probably my favorite album, but you can't really go wrong with any of them. They are such a good live band, I've seen them 4 times I believe now. I've gotten my 5 year old into them and he wants an Eddie stuffed toy for his birthday. I have no idea if they even make them, but someone should.
