maiden won a Grammy last night for el dorado. I'm very happy for them. I wish it was megadeth but maiden was my second choice. Congratulations to Bruce and the boys.

Starblind - The seventh track from Final Frontier. Excellent
[Brian_Evans] Friday, January 21, 2011 12:33:08 PM
Bruce by a long shot. He's a much better vocalist and put Maiden on top.

who do you think was better for maiden Paul dianno or Bruce Dickinson. I personally love the first two maiden albums so Paul gets my vote

Wow, I didn't realize they had that many different singers over the years. That guy sounds kind of like Tim Owens on that one. Excellent! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Sunday, December 26, 2010 6:11:25 PM)

Travel In Stygian last track on album
Actually the vocalist on this album which is thier 2nd is a guy named John Greely,and the band's first album the vocalist is a guy named Gene Adam. These are the only 2 Iced Earth albums I care for,Matt Barlow is vocals on the band's 3rd album and every album after that untill he left and Ripper came in.
I don't care for Barlow's vocals only because he reminds me too much of a cross between Geoff Tate of Queensryche and Paul Stanley of Kiss,it just messes with my head,the music is all cool but those vocals...I feel like I'm listening to Kiss and Queensryche while its still Iced Earth so I've never been able to get into Barlow,but he is a good vocalist. Yeah musically there are some heavy 80's Metallica riffs on there but there are still some Maiden influences as well. But the whole album is excellent and real masterpiece of heavy metal and good solos ect...

Brian,have you ever heard the album "Night Of The Stormrider" (1992) from Iced Earth? Its a mix of musically "Iron Maiden" and old 80's Metallica with some small Judas Priest influences but Maiden influences are heard throughout the LP. The vocalsit isn't nowhere near Bruce but he is not bad.Give it a listen...also check out at the 1:49 mark where it reeks musically and influence of The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner....its not a rip off but there definately are some Maiden influences....
Total killer traditional heavy metal album by all means a must have.

Yeah ElDorado is weak. I'll admit its better than Saxon's single "Live To Rock" off thier last album 2009's Into The Labyrinth as that song sucks balls way worse than Eldorado and so does one more song off the album "Hellcat" but the other 11 songs from Into The Labyrinth totally blows away the rest of Iron maiden's The Final Frontier by FAR.
I wish Iron Maiden would do more old school "gallops" even with the progressiveness of the band I still wish they would do more normal paced tracks like they did for the majority of A Matter Of Life And Death but The Final Frontier is more like Brave New World and Dance Of Death....more Dance Of Death actually.

I've always had somewhat of a love/hate relationship with Maiden
They warmed up at my first Priest show in '82 ( the Infamous Vengeance / # of the Beast pairing )
I met Bruce that night after the show , we talked for a few minutes and he's a nice guy but, for me Maidens early music had a very obvious Priest influence and it always bothered me seeing them rise to such a towering status in the states . Witout Priest ,Maiden probably would'nt have existed.

Well Saxon's songs flow more towards an old school style than Maiden's newer songs do,but that doesn't mean Saxon is better. I'm sure if we took a vote world wide Iron maiden would win 100 times over Saxon. But its just individual opinion,thats all. I like Saxon better than I do Iron Maiden these last 20 years. But I like Iron maiden from 1980 to 1984 better than I do Saxon,execpt the Lionheart album and The Inner Sanctum album,those 2 are equally as good as any old Iron Maiden album.
