I've said the same type of thing before and you slammed me for it? lol! I think there are things and songs from Iron Maiden you don't care for,but your enjoying irritating people by not giving your honest opinion. Go ahead,have your fun,theres nothing any of us can do about it. I guess I'll be waiting longer than anticipated for "the smoke to clear" eh? lol!

Somewhere In Time sounds so different that its almost like another band. Same with the Seventh Son album and every album after it including the first 2 songs from The Final Frontier,they tried to harken some old sounds but it clashes with to much progressiveness for my likings because the band gave us 5 stright albums of one awsome style and then they took it away from us forcing us to be fed little incriments of riffs that remind us of old Iron Maiden that don't last long before they vanish into "nu-iron maiden-sounds" and "nu-Steve harris ideas".
Throughout these "nu" albums from 1986 to 2006 there are an albums worth of songs maybe 10 or 11of them that could make up one Iron Maiden album that still wouldn't be close to Powerslave or anything before it but there wouldn't be anything off of Somewhere In Time,The X Factor,Virtual Eleven or Dance Of Death....all 4 of those albums I hate with a passion. But beings how talented the band is and have always been,I still can see why Brian likes the nu stuff but to me being 12 years old buying The Number Of The Beast I remember a totally different band and a totally different attitude from this band.
Judas Priest still has this "spirit" except from the Nostradamus audio but live they still "look" and sound "heavy metal" and still with the British Steel 2009 tour and now with a new album in the works(soon!)they will put out another metal masterpice.2005's Angel Of Retribution's "sound" had the old school sound regardless if anyone likes the album or not they can't deny that it sounds like it could of been released right after Defenders Of The Faith instead of Turbo! Iron Maiden have lost thier tradmark sound but they still are a talented band,but the band that I used to like died after the Powerslave album and tour.

I'm not here to rip anyone so I usually stay out of this thread because of how I feel about Maiden.
To the Maiden fans though I must say, after watching a couple of those clips it appears they
still sound pretty tight. If you are a fan they probably still put on quite the show. They played
here last week and I heard good things about them, I just couldn't bring myself to going
because of how I feel about Bruce Dickenson. My only criticism is something that J.D. pointed out.
Jannick Gers (is that even right). High energy in concert is normally a good thing but he comes
off (to me) as a little quirky. Kind of irritating to watch. No disrepect to Maiden or there fans
they're just not for me.

| Went to see Iron Madien at Dallas Superpages, Bruce's mic cut in and out which got me angry and not impressed with music line up, dont get me wrong, I love Iron Madien but felt lost with some of the new songs. Spent 250 a ticket and when I saw a mug for $35 bucks, it kinda ruin the whole thing. Is the band getting this money or is the middle man? |
