Can count the number of Maiden tracks I actually really like on one hand. But think they might have been the first metal band I ever heard, and I definitely have a soft spot for them as a result.

My first "metal" shirt was a hand me down Motley Crue "Dr. Feelgood" T-shirt that I wore everywhere despite never owning a Motley Crue album. In my defense, I was eleven. No pictures of this exist.

Re: IRON MAIDEN I saw them once when I was an exchange student in Germany. It was in 2000 at the Leipzig 'With Full Force' festival. It was a blast and it was right after Bruce had rejoined. I'd love to see them again. I doubt that they're going to be around for another 10 years.

Re: IRON MAIDEN I was really disappointed with Maiden when I saw them at the Soundwave 2010 festival (it happened this year but they billed it as 2010 go figure) Bruce seemed really off, Nicko was struggling to keep his timing, was really hoping they'd be be amazing but they really looked (and sounded) their age, won't be seeing them again

Bruce sucked it up however. The set-list was pretty weak too. I was praying that they'd have come through here when they were doing their Somewhere Back in Time tour a few years ago but they didn't. I'd probably see them again if they came through and if the set list was primarily of song pre-2000.

Re: IRON MAIDEN I'm slowly warming up to the band after 7 and a half years of a lukewarm attitude to their music, no I don't particularly care for their first album and I don't consider them even remotely as good as Sabbath or Priest. But they have great songs with my particular favorite album being Somewhere and time and Powerslave, I don't listen to them often but when I do I get into their stuff. You have to love the combination of Dickinson's vocals and those dual melodies, not to mention their classic songs really are anthemic in every sense.

Re: IRON MAIDEN seeing him live you can tell he's really trying to hold things together but just can't do it (or at least not anymore) hey maybe that's why Maiden are playing less and less old material, Bruce just can't hit the notes anymore (of course when I saw Maiden at Soundwave in Febuary he couldn't hit the notes on the new material either), maybe he should have kept up the singing lessons instead of learning to fly a plane

Re: Best Iron Maiden Album

Hi everyone, I absolutely love Iron Maiden and have almost all of their albums, but I was wondering, which is the best? Of course, I know that Maiden have had 15 albums and I am only able to put on ten, but still, I think I can knock out five that most will agree are no the best. Can't wait to see which comes out on top :)
I guess you were wrong about the ones you left out, Killers is my pick.

Re: Best Iron Maiden Album it's tough for me to pick just one Maiden album as "the best", I could probably pick the best of each era of Maiden easier so here goes: Paul Di'anno era: Killers, Bruce Dickinson era early period: Powerslave, Bruce Dickinson era mid period: Fear Of The Dark, Blaze era: X Factor, Bruce Dickinson era late period: A Matter Of Life And Death

Re: IRON MAIDEN BOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! epic fail for Apoc lol, then again if every metalhead liked the same bands there'd be no point in having the Metal Forum since there'd be nothing to discuss, how boring would it be having nothing but conversations like this: "Iron Maiden are great" "yeah I know aren't they?" "yeah I agree" etc on a completely unrelated yet somehow still relevant note (yeah I know that sentence makes no sense so what?) maybe Tim "Ripper" Owens could replace Bruce as Maiden's lead singer, he did a pretty good job of replacing Rob Halford in Judas Priest

Re: Best Iron Maiden Album Sorry NTNR, I could not disgree with you more. I think that Brave New World is a wonderful album,full of beautiful solos and rousing choruses which go on forever and I also like Dance of Death, especially Paschendale, which, IMHO, is Maiden's second best song (I like Mother Russia in No Prayer for the Dying best 8-) ). I also think that A Matter of Life and Death is probably their weakest album, alot of it is really rather dreary, not serious, not thoughtful, just dreary. Anyway, thanks for voting!

    • Sacred Reich "Awakening"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Overkill "The Wings of War"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious.
