i like listening to paul dianno better than dickinson, although their best album to me is powerslave,which also contains what i think is their best song rime of the ancient mariner thats 13 min 30 sec long
believe or not but I will probably disagree review based on final frontier albums as I began to listen iron maiden since they released prayer for dying album which inspirate me to continued the heavy metal tradition.This album does not have deeper meaning basically suckz as Iron maiden mostly become more corrupted sorry but its disapointment as anticipated since matter of death which was bri....... and broke my heart.up iron by the way its my own opinion!!!!!!!
you should make the effort to see Maiden live again mike. I have been a Maiden fan for about 21 years myself. seen them live 16 times, on ever tour since 7th Son, bar Death on the Road.
they are getting better, and better, and better. UP THE IRONS!
yes acdc charted number one in something like 27 countries, but they are played on the radio all the time ,all they sing about is mundane stuff.... maiden and sabbath sing about horror, history, science fiction and war their music is publicly supressed, but their millions of fans know how great they are when i saw maiden in 87 they blew me away ...wow...
i saw iron maiden in 1987, they have been my favorite band for 25 years now their best album is powerslave really nice to see their new album chart so well the highest in the usa ever but why are they more popular everywhere else probably because like black sabbath they arent played on the radio and they still reach 4th position..maidens and sabbaths lyrics are tough and hit home where it hurts and people dont like the truth thrust into their face just read the lyrics for children of the grave or two minutes to midnight
hads any other band in the world done this
love it, def necessary!
They deserve it!!!!!!!!
they are an inspiration to me. best artist of all time. up he irons!!!!!! your music will never die
UP THE IRONS!
