How could I not agree with you HRMG????   Everything you've just said hits the nail head on,this is the "truth" about Iron Maiden in my opinion as well. Excellent post HRMG.  Fuck "Iron Maiden" and piss on everyone who pisses on people who "rip on Maiden !" .

Yes, I agree totally Spa! WAY TOO MUCH ego there and that's what it's become about, not the music like you said. Too bad too because I used to love them in the early '80s. Although I've never thought that any of them were hot.....

Man piss on everyone who rips on Maiden. Sure they've gotten all stuck up with their music, the songs of the new album got stale the second time u heard them, and they're pretty much pulling what people claim ac/dc did with back in black. Brave New world would be their BIB album. Fact is though they're still around after 30 years. Still playing HEAVY METAL(albeit they're own new wave of repatative preachy god worshipping metal) But hey still got Bruce and Harris and Murray and mcbrain. At least they're still putting out long talented songs. Cool guitar solos, even though ya the turn from devil inspired songs to Jesus inspired songs is really really lame.... Fuck it i've got floor tickets for the show this Thursday!!! WHOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!

This new Eddie is really cool!

[HOT ROCKIN' METAL GODDESS] Tuesday, June 22, 2010 8:14:28 PM 
Those songs were great because they were INSPIRED by those topics. They felt passionate about it and wrote great songs because they felt something. What I feel is missing now and has been missing for a very long time is the passion and emotion that they used to have. I feel no connection to them now. Music is supposed to make you FEEL something, by the lyrics as well as the music. Maiden makes me feel like I'm sitting in a history class being bored out of my mind and that is NOT what I want when I listen to music! I don't have a problem with the topics they write about, I have a problem with the fact that they no longer put any heart or soul into their music. I said before, why don't they write about something that they give a shit about? This is what I meant by that - put some emotion into it! I think we can all agree, whether we like a Priest song or not, it is always full of passion, heart and soul. You can feel the way that they did when they wrote the song. Priest pours their heart and soul into every note that they write. Iron Maiden no longer does that and THAT is what is missing IMO. I know you may not agree with me and that's fine. I just don't feel it anymore like I used to.

I've always felt since the late 80's that Iron Madien became a band all about Steve Harris and his love of monopolizing a song with too much bass. Then Bruce decided to put his degree into play and make songs about poems and such that went on forever. The only one of which I love it "Rhyme fo the ancient Mariner".
So they became more ego driven than music driven as far as I'm concerned. That's about the time they started to suck! Damn shame. They had something and pissed it all away. Sure Steve Harris is hot and so is Bruce, but that doesn't carry a band. Yawns.  BE must be used to music that puts you to sleep.

[J.D. DIAMOND] Tuesday, June 22, 2010 2:09:46 PM 
METALMANJP I think and many "old" 80's Iron Maiden fans think that the song subjects are cool,all those songs you mentioned are killer songs execpt Alexander The Great(yuk) but the song subjects are cool,its what Iron maiden is founded on,thats NOT the problem.The problem is that the songs themselves are and have been for 26 years been getting worse and worse ever since the shitty 1986 Somewhere In Time album,the songs themselves suck.The problem with the length of the songs nowadays is that we all know that the songs are going to suck and they last a long time. But it really doesn't matter because even if they shortened up each song to 3 minutes,they would suck just as bad so eh.  

Its like there are 2 different Iron maiden bands: The great one from the first Iron maiden album 1980 - to 1984's Powerslave.......and then the shitty Iron Maiden band from 1986 Somewhere In Time up till now The Final Frontier. There is a freaking HUGE drop-off after the Powerslave album,its like after Powerslave aliens from another planet came down and took the killer Iron Maiden away to another planet and replaced them with a shit band Iron maiden who continued starting with the Somewhere In Time album. Maybe on that other planet where the real Iron Maiden are,the people there are getting quality albums like Killers,The Number Of The Beast and Piece Of Mine? LOL!! DOWN THE FUCKIN' IRONS!!!!!

I agree. Maiden writes songs about stories that someone else thought up. Phantom of the Opera, The Prisoner, Where Eagles Dare, Flight of Icarus, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Alexander the Great and so on. 

Think how Halford back in 1981 wrote Electric Eye so far ahead of it's time. Know one knew about Sattelite's or how they could be used . How about Metal Gods, Artificial Intelligence and now it's coming to be. Halford is AWESOME !! So clever.

Yup, my friend saw them in Dallas for the opening of the tour. He left and got a beer during the show, FFS!! Now that just shows you how SHITTY it was! He would NEVER leave to get a beer if the setlist hadn't SUCKED SO BAD! I'm so glad we didn't get tickets to this. God does it blow! El Dorado has it's moments when Bruce sings high.... I almost think that the song could be something in those moments and then they just go back to being in love with themselves and how they play... They need an editor in the studio - someone to cut out the 3-4 minutes of shit in just about every song! I just realized that Silent Screams by Halford was over 7 minutes long - they need to take lessons from THE METAL GOD and learn how to write a long song! It should keep the audience craving even more at the end, not wanting you to end the song halfway through!! DOWN THE IRONS CAUSE IRON MAIDEN IS DONE AND THE NEXT PRIEST ALBUM IS GOING TO BLOW THEM AWAY!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHA! Yes!  Tons of fans ARE complaining about the shitty El Dorado song and the crappy fucked up set list,the shitty looking Eddie wich is the WORST Eddie in the history of the band,I never would of thought they could come up with more crappy album cover than Fear Of The Dark,but they did! 

Hey Maple Syrup,you nailed that shit right on the head.....FUCK OFF to Iron Maiden,that lame fucking shit band they are DEAD and they will NEVER return to top form.

Sorry to say that the same sentiment was voiced over and over again on Eddie Trunk yesterday. Don't know if you caught it but the show was anything but positive from those who saw it in Texas. 

Most callers saying the exact same thing: had they know the setlist would have been so piss-poor, they wouldn't have even considered shelling out the $. You know it is bad when people were even laughing at how goofy Eddie looks. Here's hoping you have a better experience.

Thats because there's nothing wrong with the setlist Maple Syrup.  I guess if you just like older Maiden then don't go to a show.


‘The Wicker Man’
‘The Ghost Of The Navigator’
‘Brighter Than a Thousand Suns’
‘El Dorado’
‘Paschendale’
‘The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg’
‘These Colours Don’t Run’
‘Blood Brothers’
‘Wildest Dreams’
‘No More Lies’
‘Brave New World’
‘Fear Of The Dark’
‘Iron Maiden’

Encore:
‘Number Of the Beast’
‘Hallowed Be Thy Name’
‘Running Free’

Up The Irons!!!!

Here here. Ian may not be a songwriter, but he's Priest's lynch pin, the quiet chap, holding it all together. Very much like Charlie Watts.

Thou speakest wisely. Verily, ass pimples, nay, Ass Pimples, for they deserve capital initials, are the salt of the earth of our epoch. Never should we squeeze the ass pimples of the ass of history.

And if anyone doesnt understand that - no worries. Neither do I.

As we study history, we find that "ass pimples" are the backbone of greatness. Throughout time, it has been the "ass pimples" that have led the way.. learned us, shown us independence, given the downtrodden hope and generally been the inspiration for all things great. It is important to remember the "ass pimple" when discussing music like Maiden. Never forget how much we all should appreciate the "ass pimples" of the world, for they are the true leaders, innovators and all around "good guys". I think it is the "ass pimples" that need to be here on this Board, showing us all how to speak our minds and not follow the mob rule.
[MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE] Saturday, May 15, 2010 7:18:38 AM 

That Iron Maiden video is great Brian. What a trip down memory lane! I enjoyed every second of it! But then again, anything Steve Harris does is phenomenal. Ian Hill is the pool cleaner of Steve Harris. No kidding. Hill is nowhere in the same league as Harris is. The guy must have drowned in pussy during his time. Hill isn’t a pimple on the ass of Harris. LOL!

I used to get mad at threads like this but I now think it is great that both bands get such great attention and comparison. Obviously my two favorite bands of all time. I love them both. We really are lucky to have both bands still around....think about all of the other crap that is out there, I think you will then learn to at least appreciate both bands.
