Who knows but if it is the album cover without "Eddie" it will be the worst Iron Maiden album cover of all time,absolutely terrible for them. As for seeing them live its all up to you obviously of course but as I said if it were me I'd wait till I hear the album.If its "ok" then I'd go if it sucks no fuckin way am I giving those greedy dudes any of my money.

I'm hoping it's a decoy, maybe he's a deranged distant-cousin of Eddie or something. Maybe the album cover will have both of them fighting to the death! That'd be pretty cool.

I know Vail,its not a "bad picture" its just that its NOT Eddie,just like on the Fear Of The Dark album,that to me ws not "Eddie",and now this picture the least like Eddie out of any Iron Maiden album covers,unless its a decoy and the real Eddie is in the album cover somewhere? I don't know but if what we are seeing is the album cover than it sucks because its not Iron Maiden.And after 30 years "The Final Frontier" is the best title they can come up with? That title alone sucks.I have a huge vibe that this album is going to be terrible,but Brian Evans(the dumb one,not the original one)already loves it even though he hasn't heard it yet,because he has no opinions just fanboyism.Hey Brian.."FUCK YOU".

Yep, the proof will be in the listening. I have no doubt Maiden can deliver, we'll just have to wait and see if they do [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by kiamat from Friday, March 05, 2010 5:41:05 PM)

In the end, I guess we need to hear some music before making proper judgements on it. I believe Maiden can deliver the goods, but who knows? Anyway, now the album details are out there should be a single along fairly soon. (Can't wait! )

Jimmy is right,Maiden are good live but the question is do you really want to go to the show if you don't like the new album? Because with this new album they will play at least 4 songs off it,then they will be playing at least a few songs off each album you don't like already,so that leaves very little room for old tracks,yes of course they will be playing old tracks but how many of them? If the new album sucks,I would recommend NOT going to the show and not supporting them with $money.
I hate the Nostradamus album and I actually bought tickets to see Priest before I heard the Nostradamus album,after I heard the entire Nostradamus album I sold my tickets as I was pissed off and would still do it again.Judas Priest are my favorite band yes,but since they put out a shit album it "ruined it for me" so much to the point of I don't even want to see them!! Fuck em' if they can't put out a killer album.To thoese who think Nostradamus is a "good" LP good for you guys(Guido and others) but for me it fucking "SUCKS" and I don't want to see "that" tour. Same goes with Maiden,if this new album sucks I will NOT be seeing them live.FUCK Em'.
If this next Priest album 'sucks" then I won't be buying the album or seeing the show,fuck em'. They are my favorite band but that doesn't mean they can do no wrong,I'm not a poser fanboy like the idiotic Brian -Maiden-fan-boy- Evans is.If Priest delivers I will support them,if they don't then fuck them.

From Corrosion, Deliverance or In The Arms Of God, from Monster Magnet Dopes To Infinity or Powertrip to begin with. Check out the new metal meltdown show Corrosions song Heavens Not Overflowing is the first song after the first voice break. Thats one of their best I reckon. If you like that you'll love Corrosion.

That's just off the top of my head, I'd gladly go see other bands too. Motorhead and Megadeth, like Maiden, I couldn't afford to go see when they were here. So I'm saving my pennies hoping they come back lol. (Quoting Message by jimmyjames from Friday, March 05, 2010 12:57:50 PM)

If this next Priest album 'sucks" then I won't be buying the album or seeing the show,fuck em'. They are my favorite band but that doesn't mean they can do no wrong,I'm not a poser fanboy like the idiotic Brian -Maiden-fan-boy- Evans is.If Priest delivers I will support them,if they don't then fuck them.

I hate the Nostradamus album and I actually bought tickets to see Priest before I heard the Nostradamus album,after I heard the entire Nostradamus album I sold my tickets as I was pissed off and would still do it again.Judas Priest are my favorite band yes,but since they put out a shit album it "ruined it for me" so much to the point of I don't even want to see them!!

Hmmm my lame-ometre went off when I saw the title of the new Maiden album. The Final Frontier - eh??? I see Star Trek has already been mentioned LOL, Star Trek concept album perhaps? Hopefully it's a better album than the title promises.
Vail - I'd still go see them live. I missed out when they were here last year (here just after my wedding and trip overseas so we couldn't afford it lol) and wish I could have gone. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Bazookajoe_666 from Thursday, March 04, 2010 12:10:24 PM)

He doesn't have the charisma of Kirk, the intelligence of Spock or the humanitarianism of Bones. He's dead meat. You can tell he's nervous because he's already got his phaser out. Hostile aliens will sense the fear and pounce. Star Trek was way ahead of it's time, this photo is probably 40 years old and you can see Kirk is texting. A Nostradamus moment from Gene Roddenberry.
HAAAA!! Just be sure that you are not the one in the red shirt!

If Maiden are playing in your area you should definately go. Even if the album is crap they'll still play a whole bunch of classic songs as well. Iron Maiden is one of the best live acts around. I saw them in 08 and 09 and they were awesome. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Vaillant 3.0 from Friday, March 05, 2010 7:41:04 AM)

I know Vail,its not a "bad picture" its just that its NOT Eddie,just like on the Fear Of The Dark album,that to me ws not "Eddie",and now this picture the least like Eddie out of any Iron Maiden album covers,unless its a decoy and the real Eddie is in the album cover somewhere? I don't know but if what we are seeing is the album cover than it sucks because its not Iron Maiden.And after 30 years "The Final Frontier" is the best title they can come up with? That title alone sucks.I have a huge vibe that this album is going to be terrible,but Brian Evans(the dumb one,not the original one)already loves it even though he hasn't heard it yet,because he has no opinions just fanboyism.Hey Brian.."FUCK YOU".

I hope that picture is not "Eddie"? That doesn't even look like Eddie at all,I'm NOT saying that it is but if it is,then thats the worst picture of Eddie I've ever seen! And Steve Harris has said that this new Iron Maiden is the LAST studio album ever by Iron Maiden,I don't believe him but if its actually true then... because why keep putting out less than average albums?

37. RAINBOW - On Stage
38. "Woodstock" soundtrack
39. DAVID GILMOUR - Live in Gdansk 40. JUDAS PRIEST - Unleashed In The East
There's a lot that can be said about these results - like, "wow, Rush fans are friggin' nuts" and "where's Ted Nugent's Double Live Gonzo?" and "Asia? Really? Asia?!?" - but the real point is that other than David Gilmour's Live in Gdansk, Rush's Rush in Rio, Metallica's S&M and the Thunder disc, all of these albums are from the '70s or '80s. Which makes me question whether the live album has any value in the 21st Century.
There was a time when live albums served a clear purpose. They showed that bands could reproduce their songs live, which was somewhat important in the case of prog-rock groups like Genesis and Yes, with their lavish arrangements and super-deluxe production. Heavy blues and hard rock bands like Free, Humble Pie or Status Quo, whose songs were more bare-bones and basic, didn't really need to prove their case on that score, so their live albums became a showcase for extended jamming and solos. Live albums were also great if you lived in a town that never got bands coming through. New Yorkers and Californians didn't need 'em, but if you lived in rural Nebraska, If You Want Blood You Got It was as close as you were probably gonna get to seeing AC/DC.
But...but...now we have the Internet. And cell phone cameras. And YouTube. Pretty much every gig a band plays is uploaded online, in whole or in part. Some bands, Metallica most notably, record every concert and put them online in CD quality for purchase - not only can you own a Metallica live album, you can own the exact show you were at, if you choose. (Supposedly, Metallica are working with Greg Fidelmann, who engineered Death Magnetic, on an "official" live album. The question is, why? If all their concerts from the World Magnetic Tour are already available, couldn't fans just make their own? Maybe we're expected to pay for the effort the bandmembers and Fidelmann have put in, listening to version after version of "Broken, Beat & Scarred" and "That Was Just Your Life" to pull the best ones.)
Of course, there's also the idea, worth pondering, that there are very few bands big enough to "deserve" a live album these days. Half the point is to hear the roar of a sold-out stadium crowd behind the band, and which bands are still playing stadiums or even arenas? Judas Priest's recent A Touch of Evil - Live and Iron Maiden's Flight 666 were like relics left behind by old gods, bands taking victory laps knowing that nobody's coming up behind them. Similarly, Slipknot's 9.0: Live, released before their somewhat disappointing fourth studio album All Hope is Gone, felt like a combination of contract-filler and something they had to do to prove themselves more than just music for pissed-off kids at the mall, like a live album was something "real" bands did.
What do you think? Is the era of the live album over?

Sure, I can find a song here and there that I do like, I can find a bunch out of Nostra. As a complete album, I can say without hesitation that I still love it.

I think they didn't have anywhere else to GO except back "Somewhere in Time" trying to recapture their old fan-base.
Nope, while a couple of explosions and Eddie are nice and all, I am still there for the music alone. THAT is where they have failed since the 80s, IMO.

Iron Maiden Completes Recording New Album
British heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN have completed the recording process for their new album at Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas with producer Kevin Shirley. According to a posting on Kevin's official web site, "There's still work to do, but the band portion is complete and in the can, so to speak."
Shirley also worked on the last three MAIDEN albums — 2000's "Brave New World", 2003's "Dance of Death" and 2006's "A Matter of Life and Death".
The next IRON MAIDEN album will be the band's fifteenth studio record, and they face a challenge to follow up "A Matter of Life and Death", which was received well critically and saw the group play the whole album on tour.
Speaking at last year's premiere of the band's documentary film "Iron Maiden: Flight 666", guitarist Adrian Smith stated, "There's always a bit of pressure to follow up the last album, in a way it's good because it motivates you.
"We never get complacent; we always try our best for our own sake as much as anything else. As far as pressure for another album, we just do what we do — we've been doing it long enough now, we know what we're doing. [laughs]"
IRON MAIDEN guitarist Janick Gers revealed to BBC News in November that the band was on its way "to Paris for three weeks to work on some new stuff." He added, "The most important thing for a band is to create new music, otherwise you're not valid — you become a parody."
IRON MAIDEN will headline this year's edition of the U.K.'s Sonisphere festival, which will be held Saturday, July 31, 2010 and Sunday, August 1, 2010 at Knebworth.

I think the skinflint bastards charge people to chat on their noticeboard too. I think it's 10 pounds a year or something. That's why I'm not a member. The Maiden / Priest debate is a weird one because when you listen to them they both do totally different things. They have a lot in common such as great vocalists who are very different i think, awesome musicianship, wicked songs, same era give or take, both english etc but musically they do vastly different stuff. eg Number of the Beast and SFV came out the same year, they are nothing alike. DOTF and Powerslave again like black and white. I think both bands are cool but don't think much of their recent stuff. Would go to see either live.

Iron Maiden Completes Recording New Album
British heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN have completed the recording process for their new album at Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas with producer Kevin Shirley. According to a posting on Kevin's official web site, "There's still work to do, but the band portion is complete and in the can, so to speak."
Shirley also worked on the last three MAIDEN albums — 2000's "Brave New World", 2003's "Dance of Death" and 2006's "A Matter of Life and Death".
The next IRON MAIDEN album will be the band's fifteenth studio record, and they face a challenge to follow up "A Matter of Life and Death", which was received well critically and saw the group play the whole album on tour.
Speaking at last year's premiere of the band's documentary film "Iron Maiden: Flight 666", guitarist Adrian Smith stated, "There's always a bit of pressure to follow up the last album, in a way it's good because it motivates you.
"We never get complacent; we always try our best for our own sake as much as anything else. As far as pressure for another album, we just do what we do — we've been doing it long enough now, we know what we're doing. [laughs]"
IRON MAIDEN guitarist Janick Gers revealed to BBC News in November that the band was on its way "to Paris for three weeks to work on some new stuff." He added, "The most important thing for a band is to create new music, otherwise you're not valid — you become a parody."
IRON MAIDEN will headline this year's edition of the U.K.'s Sonisphere festival, which will be held Saturday, July 31, 2010 and Sunday, August 1, 2010 at Knebworth.

You should start up an organization similar to what Hitler did with the Nazis. However rather than go round gassing jews you could go round gassing fanboys, friends and family members of fanboys, people who are known associates of fanboys, people who have done business with fanboys, people who are suspected of being fanboys, fanboy sympathisers, all of them. Just round them up, truck them out to Aushwitz or somewhere, gas them and burn them on a big bonfire. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D.

Iron Maiden Completes Recording New Album
British heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN have completed the recording process for their new album at Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas with producer Kevin Shirley. According to a posting on Kevin's official web site, "There's still work to do, but the band portion is complete and in the can, so to speak."
Shirley also worked on the last three MAIDEN albums — 2000's "Brave New World", 2003's "Dance of Death" and 2006's "A Matter of Life and Death".
The next IRON MAIDEN album will be the band's fifteenth studio record, and they face a challenge to follow up "A Matter of Life and Death", which was received well critically and saw the group play the whole album on tour.
Speaking at last year's premiere of the band's documentary film "Iron Maiden: Flight 666", guitarist Adrian Smith stated, "There's always a bit of pressure to follow up the last album, in a way it's good because it motivates you.
"We never get complacent; we always try our best for our own sake as much as anything else. As far as pressure for another album, we just do what we do — we've been doing it long enough now, we know what we're doing. [laughs]"
IRON MAIDEN guitarist Janick Gers revealed to BBC News in November that the band was on its way "to Paris for three weeks to work on some new stuff." He added, "The most important thing for a band is to create new music, otherwise you're not valid — you become a parody."
IRON MAIDEN will headline this year's edition of the U.K.'s Sonisphere festival, which will be held Saturday, July 31, 2010 and Sunday, August 1, 2010 at Knebworth.

I think the skinflint bastards charge people to chat on their noticeboard too. I think it's 10 pounds a year or something. That's why I'm not a member. The Maiden / Priest debate is a weird one because when you listen to them they both do totally different things. They have a lot in common such as great vocalists who are very different i think, awesome musicianship, wicked songs, same era give or take, both english etc but musically they do vastly different stuff. eg Number of the Beast and SFV came out the same year, they are nothing alike. DOTF and Powerslave again like black and white. I think both bands are cool but don't think much of their recent stuff. Would go to see either live.

I disagree about Nostra as most know. I love it. I have been to dozens of Priest shows against one or two Maiden shows. Were you to see my house, you'd find an interesting mix. TONS of Priest stuff (hell, five guitars!) mixed in with a handful of 80s Maiden stuff. Of course, I have things from other bands but I have a serious Priest addiction.
While I mentioned why I don't care for Maiden much anymore, I can elaborate as to why....they are FAR too "jumpy" in rhythm for me now. Each song seems like ten minutes long with so many changes that I just can't seem to get a grip on it. Of course, I refer to the new material. Sure, I can find a song here and there that I do like, I can find a bunch out of Nostra. As a complete album, I can say without hesitation that I still love it. Perhaps the "fanboy" in me talking, but I run to it all the time. Were I to try that with Maiden, I'd trip over my own feet!
Probably explains why I am not a member of Maiden's site.

They just step all over each other with Murray usually taking the lead. I didn't catch the "Somewhere" tour live, but I have about 10 bootlegs and can say that I would only go for nostalgia's sake. Nothing more. They do not inspire me as they did in the past. Their last tour and album was so miserable that Dickenson even admits it in a couple of interviews I have heard. I think they didn't have anywhere else to GO except back "Somewhere in Time" trying to recapture their old fan-base.
Nope, while a couple of explosions and Eddie are nice and all, I am still there for the music alone. THAT is where they have failed since the 80s, IMO.

Priest probably couldn't pull off playing all of Nostradamus live (although I think it could work to an extent, it's just too long lol) - but they did pull it off exceptionally (from accounts I have heard) with British Steel. Yes I know it's a much shorter album, but it's a piece of heavy metal history, and I would love to see it played live.

I love Priest, I think they are incredible. But Maiden have always totally blown me away, from the moment I brought home 'Edward the Great' and put Number of the Beast on full blast. I've seen Priest live, and it was great. I'm seen Maiden live, and it was awe-inspiring.

Iron Maiden Completes Recording New Album
British heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN have completed the recording process for their new album at Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas with producer Kevin Shirley. According to a posting on Kevin's official web site, "There's still work to do, but the band portion is complete and in the can, so to speak."
Shirley also worked on the last three MAIDEN albums — 2000's "Brave New World", 2003's "Dance of Death" and 2006's "A Matter of Life and Death".
The next IRON MAIDEN album will be the band's fifteenth studio record, and they face a challenge to follow up "A Matter of Life and Death", which was received well critically and saw the group play the whole album on tour.
Speaking at last year's premiere of the band's documentary film "Iron Maiden: Flight 666", guitarist Adrian Smith stated, "There's always a bit of pressure to follow up the last album, in a way it's good because it motivates you.
"We never get complacent; we always try our best for our own sake as much as anything else. As far as pressure for another album, we just do what we do — we've been doing it long enough now, we know what we're doing. [laughs]"
IRON MAIDEN guitarist Janick Gers revealed to BBC News in November that the band was on its way "to Paris for three weeks to work on some new stuff." He added, "The most important thing for a band is to create new music, otherwise you're not valid — you become a parody."
IRON MAIDEN will headline this year's edition of the U.K.'s Sonisphere festival, which will be held Saturday, July 31, 2010 and Sunday, August 1, 2010 at Knebworth.

Were I to think that, I would be following them and not Priest.
I am no Maiden-hater either. Quite the contrary, in fact, and my pic here should be proof enough. However, they lost it. While a nice thought, three guitarists is too Spinal Tap for me to like. They just step all over each other with Murray usually taking the lead. I didn't catch the "Somewhere" tour live, but I have about 10 bootlegs and can say that I would only go for nostalgia's sake. Nothing more. They do not inspire me as they did in the past. Their last tour and album was so miserable that Dickenson even admits it in a couple of interviews I have heard. I think they didn't have anywhere else to GO except back "Somewhere in Time" trying to recapture their old fan-base.
Nope, while a couple of explosions and Eddie are nice and all, I am still there for the music alone. THAT is where they have failed since the 80s, IMO. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by jimmyjames from Tuesday, February 16, 2010 12:08:42 PM)

Come on, Maiden do a better live show than Priest these days.

Yup, I disagree completely. I have most of Maiden albums and most of the later ones are boring as all get-out. I have seen both live (many times) and, while Maiden of old was fine live and I even got on stage with them, I was almost bored to tears just like I am with most of their later albums.
PRIEST is always awe-inspiring. To each his own.

Thats what I'm saying too Becks,with this next record this gives Priest the chance to prove to Maiden fans that they are kings.Like in 1990 they put out Painkiller while Maiden put out No Prayer For The Dying and then Fear Of The Dark...both those albums can't even to begin to compare to Painkiller...back then Maiden fans were sitting on 2 shit albums while Priest fans were cellebrating Painkiller....same with 2005 with Angel Of Retribution....we got a classic LP like Screaming For Vengeance or Defenders Of The Faith while Maiden fans got 2003's "Dance Of Death" wich is to me the utterly most shit album they have ever done with Bruce,so again Judas Priest fans come out on top.Now with the Nostradamus 2008....Maiden came out on top because thier 2006 album 'AMOLAD" is better than Nostradamus in my opinion,but I recon this next album from Priest will soar them into the sky over Iron Maiden again.
But yeah,every time someone raves about Iron Maiden its 95% of the time about an 80's album. These Maiden "fan-boys" can laugh at Saxon all they want but the truth is that Saxon have been 100% more consistant the last 15 years than Iron Maiden have by far and they don't get any credit for tha and thier excellent heavy metal song writting skills,they don't have 'EDDIE" to sell records so they are swept under the carpet and forgotton about,thats fine because all of Saxon's true fans have mega albums that are of excellent quality to listen too,Saxon are a treasure chest of Diamonds waiting to be found by the heavy metal listener who's bored of bands that put out average material like Iron Maiden.

I agree JD, whenever most people talk about Maiden, they bring up their albums from the 80s to show how awesome they are, whereas with Priest you have stuff from the 70s, 80s and more recent releases like the 3 albums you mention. Maiden really needs to go back to their 'roots' to give fans a reason to continue to think they are awesome, lol. Fans like me anyways. Angel Of Retribution blows any recent Maiden out of the water I believe. I also believe Priest can certainly bring out an album next which will kick Maidens butt, LOL! But who knows in the world of heavy metal.

I fully agree with Guido 100%,I think that Iron Maiden gets too much credit for songs that are overrated and I'm talking about the last 20 years again! Come on guys Priest hasn't done much better the last 20 years but at least they have 1990 Painkiller under thier belts and 1997 Jugulator blows away anything Maiden has done in the 1990's and Angel Of Retribution is waaaay better than anything Maiden has done since 1984 Powerslave.
Just like kiamat mentioned....Edward The Great wich is a best of album,and The Number Of The Beast...nobody ever mentions a horrible album like 1990 No Prayer For The Dying or the terrible awful 1992 Fear Of The Dark,the shit albums X Factor,Virtual Eleven or they never even mention Brave New World,Dance Of Death or A Matter Of Life And Death...
When Maiden is mentioned its always something from the 80's,again Priest hasn't set the world on fire either but like I said they have Painkiller,Jugulator and Angel Of Retribution to wield in front of Maiden fans while Maiden doesn't have any records as strong as those 3 albums from Judas Priest since 1988's Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son album.I realize this is just all opinions but I hear 95% of people talk about Angel Of Retribution but when it comes to Maiden they talk about the 1980's for some reason? Hummmm

Hopefully it's a better album than the title promises.
