Your not a "fan-boy" if you enjoy Nostradamus Guido,far from it because you have opinions of the album itself there are songs you would rate from the #1 song to the least favorite of yours even if you like every track there still is an order to opinions of these songs,its when a fan like "Brian Evans" claims it all to be the same,sure he says that he doesn't like the Blaze era but he says all Maiden with Bruce is all the same value and the same quality all across the fuckin table.....(Brian if your reading this...you are a fucking "JOKE" and are nothing but a worthless fucking fanboy,your opinions here do not mean anything to any of us because you have no opinions so fuck yourself fanboy!!)

		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.      jimmyjames wrote: Yeah, I know their new musics not so good but neither is Priests, Nostradamus is pretty lame and people go to Priest shows for nostalgia reasons as well. That's what the BS tour was. I've only been lucky enough to see Priest once and I didn't go to hear Nostradamus, I wanted to hear all those cool old songs, which I'm happy to say the band obliged with. Maiden do the same thing, they know what people want to hear and play that, it makes sense.      guidogodoy wrote: 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.      jimmyjames wrote: Come on, Maiden do a better live show than Priest these days.      guidogodoy wrote: 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.      kiamat wrote: Well, I personally am SO stoked over this- I love Maiden, I disagree that all their stuff is the same- and I could happily listen to most of their albums right through- I can't always say the same for Priest, sadly. In fact, (and I totally expect people to disagree, and get angry with me over this, its fine) if I had to choose which I like more, Priest or Maiden, I would always come down on the sice of Maiden. 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.      Bazookajoe_666 wrote: 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.
