In that case: Follow the Reaper (it is the best of them all - but you know how it goes, at the beginning they don't know where the limits are, in the middle of career they are the best - Follow the Reaper - and with years they go bad - last album!)

Have great time, and conntact me about anything about metal, will you?

In my teens I was the biggest IM fan on the planet, then came Fear after dark and boy did it suck... havn't heard a good song from them since except Wicker Man which is pretty good, but not as good as they used to be.

I don't agree with that. The Album "Brave New World" was a Masterpiece though it sounded different from all other Maiden Albums. Songs like the titletrack "Brave New World", "The Wicker Man" and "Ghost of The Navigator" are great, especially in the Live Versions on "Rock in Rio".

Originally posted by Haldir: By the way, do you know why so many people from Finland, Sweden,... North lands of Europe make so much (good) metal (Children Of Bodom, In Flames, Hammerfall, Dimmu Borgir, Nightwish,...)?

Well IMO it is pretty simple: When they got Polar night there and the whole day is dark you get in a mood where you want to make heavy music


Well, my favourite Metal Bands are Dream Theater, Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, Slayer, Stratovarius, In Flames (they really kicked ass on the WOA 2003), Iron Maiden, and Grave Digger. I also like Sonata Arctica, Die Apokalyptischen Reiter, Rage and EdGuy.

Are you suggesting Iron Maiden was ever good? I would definitely have to strongly disagree with that one.

[Night Stalker]

Well disagree all you want! But Powerslave is a perfect 'running' album! It keeps a great pace that seems to ebb and quicken at just the right moments to keep you going for the whole 45 min.

One of the great things about Maiden was they included alot of historical and literary culture in their music. If you pay attention, you can actually learn something ....

Rob Halford is in Judas Priest, or I should say recently returned to Judas preist. You must be thinking of Bruce Dickinson, who returned to Iron maiden after going solo for a bit. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I love the new albums, as I loved the old ones. Okay, so Dance Of Death (*shudders at the thought of the cover art*) isn't Seventh Son, but there are still some classics in there. Paschendale, for example, is as good as anything Maiden have *ever* written, lyrically or muscially.

BNW was repetitive, yeah, but tracks like Wicker Man and Blood Brothers are still excellent, and you can't detract that from them. If you ignore the terrible era without Bruce, Maiden's later stuff is just as good as a lot of their 80's work, and I stand by that opinion proudly.

And i'm going to see them in December! If Nicko isn't still in jail, of course...
