I have seen so much bs written about Iron Maiden's latest releases

yeah opinions are so BS

How many times do we have to say it right ? I loved the sarcasm in this but you know man, some people will never accept other's opinions
on visual or musical arts... Some will always think they are better and what they think is ''THE'' way to think. Poor things really.

It took me a little while but honestly, nowadays I have pure, unadulterated apathy towards most people's opinions... ain't got time to care about it really lol. you could be listening to Slipknot ft. Drake ft. The Backstreet Boys and honestly I'm ok with that Then again if I know someone to have similar tastes or interesting opinions then I'll hold theirs in a certain higher regard.

I also find if you don't judge other music genres and tastes too much you can actually find some good stuff... I think a lot of metal listeners could benefit from a little bit of branching out, but that's just my opinion xD

i second that...

and imo there is nothing worse than narrow minded metalhead...because narrow minded fan of Justin Bieber is not worth attention anyway, but from a metalhead you kinda expect something more

hahahahha metalheads who likes maiden is OK, but metalheads who LIKES only maiden are narrow mindet... they cant see that there is good other bands
I like maiden, but I like other genres to

Its not just about Iron Maiden and another metal...its also about metal and other genres...especially metalheads should be able to judge music according to its quality, not by looking to genre labeling...and have some respect towards other ppl opinion and music tastes...but some of them are not...

Wow I don't remember being misunderstood this hard before. I meant bs as in "bad things, negative things, insulting things". I never intended to say that their opinions are bs but that was a mistake on my part, the phrase was badly written and it suggests just that.

What I meant was, I have read bad things about Maiden's latest releases and I was glad to find people who can enjoy all of their releases at the same time because I was one of them. This doesn't suggest those who find them bad are wrong or stupid or inferior or whatever. Also there was nothing in my post that implied loving Maiden all around is something "right" or "superior" it's wrong to assume that.

Seems like this "opinion" topic is exhausted enough in these boards to trigger some overreaction. Sometimes you should take somebody elses opinions and look at them under the light of ctiricism to spawn some fruitful arguments. There is nothing wrong about that as long as you don't insult them. You can try to support that your way of thinking is a better way of thinking in a mature environment. Although in music this would be unneccesary as liking a kind of gentre or a particular work is rarely an indication of superiority or being moral or more intelligent or whatever.

Just to inform you, I have added a couple of new dates to their summer European tour. Plus I've added all of the support bands to the events. Check it out!

Voodoo Six? wtf is that?

Read few last pages on this thread.
Still I missed Iron Maiden in their mayhem days. I mean, their later works are too generic.

Only few songs as my 'Best of Beast' after the Fear of the Dark era.
- Man on the Edge
- The Clansman ... the only 'long' song that a real deal
- Futureal
- Virus
- The Wicker Man
- Brave New World
- Wildest Dream
- Rainmaker .... how can this high energetic song missed by the band..
- Different World
- The Final Frontier ... take out the intro
- El Dorado

and that's basically all their first or second tracks in each album

then the second line up that also nice, but very tired to listen for its too long for some
- Sign of the Cross
- Blood on the WOrld's hand
- Ghost of Navigator
- Blood Brother
- Dance of Death
- The Journeyman
- New Frontier
- These Colours
- Brighter than a thousand Sun
- Out of the Shadows
- The Alchemist ... one of oldies sounding song

and all the rest is just too filler... Take a look most of the songs in Virtual IX, actually they are good songs but suffered from too long song arrangement. And see the last song we have When The Wild WInds blows, hey they are not Dream Theater who can 'prog' their way to kill those five minutes solos. WTHWWB is a good song yet same situation there.

I apologized this maybe too provocative, but I just miss them...miss them. I mean they are not like Deep Purple who just a different persons writing new song under the band name. IM is the same f*)*+ guys from 20 years ago. They are one of richest heavy metal band in history, they should no worry about their income and do something more solid for the fans.

I am just pretty sure about one think - they dont do new stuff because they are worried about their income...like what Bruce said in their biography - they wanted to do accoustic song, so they fckin did "The Journeyman", regardless they didnt do anything like this in previous 25 years

they just do what they want and say what they want and noone can take it away

Just want to share this blog, it has one of most complete list of Iron Maiden cover and tribute albums, as well an 'individual' song such as Testament' Powerslave, Stryper's The Trooper, Reinxeed's Aces High, Rhapsody of Fire's Flash of the Blade listing out.

If you see the right panel, there is a 'live' statistic about which song is most covered, The Trooper had been on the top for a moment.

I've liked Iron Maiden for a long time and almost everywhere in the metal community they seem to be put on some kind of pedestal, as being one of the if not the greatest metal band ever. And I had the chance to see them live in the state of Utah which I live in. And they were just okay to be honest, I guess I expected a lot more out of them, but they've been so played out in my mind and they've also released the same album for 20 years. Not that they weren't influential or a good band, its just that they are way too overrated in my opinion.

I think we kinda feel the same way.

In my mind, their old albums (until SSOASS) are timeless classics and will always be. I almost never listen to Iron Maiden nowadays but I will always consider those albums as great.

However, I think they released nothing worthwhile after SSOASS, so they're extremely overrated nowadays.
Sometimes, I can't help but wonder what this band could have become if they progressed and evolved after SSOASS, instead of taking the downward spiral. They had the potential to become something even greater, Imo. I mean, if they had incorporated other elements or went a bit more extreme or complex.
For me, Iron Maiden after SSOASS is a missed opportunity, a waste of potential. They sounded as if they didn't care at all anymore for their music in the 90s.


They were a great band in the 80s, that I will always give them.

I can never have enough Iron Maiden!

Some of you are a little hard with Maiden.
I don't think a band can have the creativity to release masterpieces like TNOB to SSOASS during 40 years!
For me, Brave New World and Final Frontier are good albums.

This !

Iron Maiden was my first teenage band, I started listening to metal

with Iron Maiden. Best heavy metal band of all time. I remember the

time when I first buy my Iron Maiden T-shirt, I thought i was king of

the world. Today , everything is easy , you can always order on

the internet. I ordered my latest Iron Maiden T-shirt from

http://www.metal-shop.eu/bands/.

I saw Iron Maiden the other night on this new tour of theirs celebrating Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. The show was great, the setlist for me at least was near-perfect (I would have dropped The Prisoner for Hallowed Be Thy Name to close the show), but the biggest surprise was that I had no idea that Dickinson can still sing so well that my hair would stand on my forearm. Especially on Seventh Son, he was pretty much without breath the whole first 6 minutes, singing the guitar melodies, blasting out superb notes that never seemed to end, perfect delivery and theatricality like I've rarely seen. I had forgotten how much I love Maiden, but they reminded me of that last night, and they even played my favorite song of theirs (The Evil That Men Do) the first Maiden song I really heard (on VH1) and the one that made me fall in love with this titanic band. to think I actually thought I might lose this show and not feel bad about it fortunately that did not happen

As great as the current setlist is, I can't believe they don't play "Infinite Dreams". Instead they pull out "Afraid to Shoot Strangers" which doesn't belong to the time-period (neither does "Fear of the Dark", but apparently they can't not play that one). And I would have liked to hear more from Somewhere in Time.

Minor quibbles aside, overall it was a great show.

This! Somewhere in Time is too good for an album to brush aside. Wasted Years is cool but I'd kill to hear Sea of Madness or just about anything else off that album. Still, I saw the same show last year and it was like a religious experience.

Maiden was my first concert...they put on a great live show and they still sound great. I can't wait for new material.

IRON MAIDEN Golf Balls Now Available

That escalated quickly.

I found 'Afraid To Shoot Strangers' an odd choice for the set I must confess. Both the time period and the fact it didn't really flow that well either I didn't think. Not sure how true it is, but apparently on the actual SSOASS tour they only played 'Sanctuary' extra and obviously didn't play Afraid or Fear so maybe it was just the songs they thought best to fill the time.

Haha, I said something similar on his Facebook. Porn sounds like a logical step from beer and golf balls.
I don't see what's wrong with golf balls anyway. I guess Maiden and most large bands have much more weird merchandise.

DP is borng old people , DP music since 80's is boring, I cant listen album at all

If you can't listen to them, that does not make them bad, if you say you are "bored" by that music, it's ok, you calling it boring, it's not.

ask marcel or other metalheads many will say DP new album sucks even Megadeth Super Coilider are better then DP

DP's new albums are actually quite good, they are superior to new Iron Maiden albums. Megadeth Super Collider is worse than any DP album. SO STOP TRYING TO THINK FOR ME WITH YOUR NUMNUT FEEBLE BRAIN K7.

You have no fucking idea of what I like and what I don't like. Please try to get a life and stop copying me, because when you do, you do it all wrong. SO FUCK OFF.
