First off...(rolling my eyes back and refering to Brian's nitpicky post) hey jimmy james.........and I'm the one being fucking anal"??  LMMFAO at jimmy!!! PLease.


Second,yes I do like A Matter Of Life And Death dumb shit, and I said its thier best work since the Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son album and it "IS" a great album for "Iron Maiden" because Iron Maiden writes shit albums one right after the other,so for Iron maiden it IS a "great album". If it were Saxon that wrote it is would "suck". If Judas Priest wrote it is would "suck" because those bands could do 100% better than Iron Maiden and those bands kick Iron Maiden's ass up between thier shoulders just like I do to you on a regular basis Brian HA!   

But for Iron Maiden yes it is a great album because of how much they fuckin suck. Those "8" songs I do like,and yes some of it does remind me of Piece Of Mind and Powerslave in spots but they are nowhere near the "greatness" of albums such as "Iron Maiden,Killers,The Number Of The Beast,Piece Of Mind and Powerslave and even Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" nowhere even close Brian.

I can easily side A Matter Of Life And Death in with shit albums from 1990 - to 2003's shit album Dance Of Death,I have always given AMOLAD a break because of how shitty Iron Maiden's song writting skills are so what your saying again is a mear joke,you failed yet again shit for brains,face it you can't top me and never will because your not smart enough haha! 

Just because I said it was "great"  I never said "how great" and for a shit band like Iron Maiden it "is great" I'll take it and it doesn't mean-that I side it in with those elite albums as I've said. Wich is a far cry from a contradiction like you are consistantly dickhead lol! Down The Irons  lofao!!!!!

At least this is "an opinion" and your not saying "oh gaga everything they do is equally excellent".   I agree that AMOLAD is boring,even though I do like most of it it isn't anywhere near,not even near thier first 5 studio albums(1980 - 1984).   Whats also interesting is your first 7 albums listed are all from the 1980's and my first 6 albums are also from the 1980's and the rest is all rated as "aeh..ok" to "shit" from both our opionions. I can't even fathom how many people/fans have said the same thing year after year that the 80's material is the band's best and everything else is "ah...ok I guess"...everybody nowadays just wants to see the band "live" because they can't "get anything special" out of thier albums from 1990 till now,they just can't get anything they want from these less than average albums.   I'd like to see how many people would go see Iron Maiden if they were to only play songs from the shitty albums from 1990 No Prayer For The Dying to now with A Matter Of life And Death"...1990 - 2006 no "Number Of The Beast" song no nothing just those albums from 1990 to 2006,I'm sure they would still pack em' in because of how many fan boys out there but I'd still bet there wouldn't be as many people excited about it.      jimmyjames wrote: Ok, I wouldn't really call it a challenge though. Number Of The Beast ( awesome ) Somewhere In Time ( awesome ) Killers ( awesome ) Piece Of Mind ( agree about Quest For Fire and don't really like To Tame A Land either ) Powerslave ( Solid but the good songs aren't as good as the good songs on POM ) Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son ( Great all round album, a touch mellodramatic ) Iron Maiden ( This and Seventh Son I rate equally ) Fear Of The Dark ( Not bad, 7/10 ) Dance Of Death ( A few good songs ) Brave New World ( A few good songs , I rate this and Dance Of Death equally ) No Prayer For The Dying ( Boring ) A Matter Of Life And Death ( Long and boring ) X Factor ( Crap ) Virtual XI ( haven't even heard it because X factor was so crap. )      J.D.

Maybe he didn't say it the "correct" way but I understood perfectly what Brian was getting at and I'm sure you did too. You're just looking for a fight because you don't like Brian. PS. You are extremely anal about everything to do with metal.      J.D. DIAMOND wrote:   LOL! Ha ha,thats not correct jimmy as you and Brian are not understanding what these statements actually mean in a stuctured sentence.I'm not being "anal" about anything jimmy,Brian has contradicted himself and I just called him out on it,no need for you to worry about it,but we will "agree to disagree" thats all.  And I'm not the Maiden fanboy,you should dedicate that Twilight Zone song to Brian...after all,any other song by any other band that did not have a guitar solo in it is considered "not good" but if its an Iron Maiden song than it "is good" and doesn't really need one.

DIAMOND wrote:   No jimmy,I'm afraid your wrong on this one pal.He said every track should have one to be "good".  Your not understanding the meanings of these sentences,look them up and you will find I'm right.   Your confusing the words should and has together,look them up in sentences and depending on how its used they are showing what I'm saying is absolutely correct. We'll have to agree to disagree,no problem but he just basically said that the song Twilight Zone is not a "good" track unless it had an 'excellent" guitar solo in it, the word "good" in the sentence is why I'm right,had he worded it another way then you'd be right.... Its not that hard to understand,I'm disappointed in you jimmy hahahaha!!!!

You are wrong on this one.      J.D. DIAMOND wrote:   Brian Evans wrote March 1st in you tube videos thread:  Bathory formed in 1983. Ha! 1983? HaHaHA!! Thats too funny!  Where's the good guitar solo? No way these guys can compete with the masters like Iron Maiden  (lol!) Oh ok,so you laugh at Bathory for not playing a guitar solo but its ok if Iron maiden doesn't play a guitar solo in the song Twilight Zone?   LOL! Fuckin contradictional fanboy! LOL! Gotcha!      Brian_Evans wrote:   "And yeah I knew you would throw the live versions of the JP tunes,thats why I posted what I posted for you to shy away from the Iron Maiden Twilight Zone non-guitar solo track." I didn't shy away from anything. You're just grasping at straws here and you probably don't even know how to play chess. The bass solo thing I said was  just a joke. Although Steve Harris does more in that track than most bass players do in ten. Twlight Zone is a solid metal track. And I never said all metal tracks had to have a solo in it to be good. Read the post five more times and maybe just maybe(fingers crossed) you will finally catch on. You can't stump me man, give it up and go back to your littie Saxon cave of a thread. You're out of your element here.   (Quoting Message by J.D.
