lol no, BNW is the best them

BNW is amazing but it doesn't have Nicko's epic drumming sections of The Longest Day, the epic buildup in For the Greater Good of God, or DAT RIFF of The Reincarnation of Benjamen Breeg.

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #981 on:** July 11, 2010, 07:24:27 AM »

And AMOLAD doesn't have "Blood Brothers", "Brave New World", "Ghost of the Navigator" or "Dream of Mirrors"

tri.ad · « **Reply #982 on:** July 11, 2010, 07:25:28 AM »

Blood Brothers is probably the weakest link on BNW, apart from The Mercenary. The Thin Line Between Love And Hate is one of the best Iron Maiden songs imo, though.

Blood Brothers is my favourite track on BNW. It's so awesome on Rock In Rio, for example.

Just for a second a glimpse of my father I see
And in a movement he beckons to me
And in a moment the memories are all that remain
And all the wounds are reopening again

So, a top 15 IM song overall is the worst song on BNW?

Janick's guitar solo is what really makes the song awesome, but probably one of Maiden's more emotional songs. He gets a lot of shit, yes, but I really enjoy his guitar soloing, he doesn't deserve the crap he gets, and he wrote The Legacy for crying out loud (Anyone that knows me knows I love the crap out of that song)

Unless someone come up with a factual, objective ranking of Iron Maiden songs, you are confusing your opinion with fact.

Blood Brothers suffers from the same problem as "No More Lies." For me, the worst tracks on BNW are "The Nomad," "Blood Brothers," and "Dream of Mirrors." *prepares flame shield*

I was referring to my own opinion, I simply assumed that was assumed and that I did not need to slap "imo" at the end of that.

And all those songs you listed are among my favorites......

I used to love BNW, but i'm not sure how i would compare it to their other albums now.
Ghost of the Navigator is probably my favorite song on it.

Ghost is awesome, and almost feels like a sequel to Ancient Mariner in some ways. But honestly, I think the first half of Brave New World is miles away better than the second half.

Zantera · « **Reply #989 on:** July 11, 2010, 10:39:53 AM »

*checks the songs on the album again*

Out of the songs on the album, the only songs i really love (a lot) would be Ghost of the Navigator and the title-track.
The Wicker Man is still very awesome, but i have overplayed it a bit during the years, and therefor it has dropped a bit.
Some songs sounded really great when i first heard them, but i now find them very repetitive (at least chorus-wise and so on), the songs that would go under that category: The Mercenary, Blood Brothers and Dream of Mirrors.

Overall, i prefer A Matter of Life and Death & Dance of Death over Brave New World when it comes to their modern albums.
AMOLAD is fantastic all way through, meanwhile DOD has killer tracks like the title-track, Paschendale, Journeyman, Rainmaker and The Gates of Tomorrow. (to name a few)

I just found out Van Canto did a cover of Fear of the Dark. Hooooly shit. Go youtube/spotify it guys. SERIOUSLY

O_________O

zxlkho · « **Reply #991 on:** July 11, 2010, 02:33:05 PM »

Maybe I'm missing something about Van Canto, but this the strangest cover of anything I've ever heard.

faemir · « **Reply #992 on:** July 11, 2010, 02:35:19 PM »

They've done Metallica, Manowar and Nightwish covers, as well as their own material of course. 3 albums i 6 years, as entertaining now as it was in 2006. You evidently can't go wrong with a cappella metal.

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #993 on:** July 12, 2010, 06:42:56 AM »

So fucking excited for MSG tonight!

skydivingninja · « **Reply #994 on:** July 12, 2010, 07:45:43 AM »

I remember that Van Canto cover. Many lols were had.

PlaysLikeMyung · « **Reply #995 on:** July 12, 2010, 09:01:55 AM »

My god Maiden ROCKED last night

Easily one of the best shows I'll ever see

let's hope we snap the fuck up streak tonight in MSG.

last show: PA blows to pieces, soccer game ensues
the show before in hammerstein: some jackass throws beer at the electronics, soccer ensues

RobD · « **Reply #998 on:** July 13, 2010, 05:50:53 AM »

2 hours until the new video! And typically I have to leave half an hour before and won't get to see it for at least a day.

2 hours until the Maiden site is flooded with traffic preventing most of us from seeing the new video!

Fixed.

my god the msg crowd was so pathetic. i was in the pit and all these old fart maiden fans were standing around an nodding. we were jumping around to the songs and they were all giving us disapproving looks like 'calm down son, my heart burn is acting up from watching you'

skydivingninja · « **Reply #1001 on:** July 13, 2010, 09:45:33 AM »

Damn old people. You gotta learn to MOVE a bit during a metal show. Especially when Bruce is challenging you to move as much as he does at his age.

zerogravityfat · « **Reply #1002 on:** July 13, 2010, 09:49:01 AM »

yea, if you are going to buy standing tix in front of a grandpa running and jumpng up and down, the least you can do is to pretend to move a bit.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #1003 on:** July 13, 2010, 09:59:26 AM »

Besides, this is Maiden, its not like they're so engrossed in the deep lyrics for them to stand transfixed like a statue the way one would be at a Yes concert.

GuineaPig · « **Reply #1004 on:** July 13, 2010, 09:59:49 AM »

The Final Frontier's a pretty good song. Lyrics are OK, riffs good, solos excellent. Definitely can tell that it's an edit though. Now I really want to hear Satellite 15.

TAC · « **Reply #1005 on:** July 13, 2010, 10:01:45 AM »

I like it a lot better than El Dorado. I cannot wait for this album!

skydivingninja · « **Reply #1006 on:** July 13, 2010, 10:08:19 AM »

This video is pretty damn cheesy. But it is Maiden. Pretty good song though, not sure if I like it more or less than El Dorado.

aurorablind · « **Reply #1007 on:** July 13, 2010, 10:16:37 AM »

Liked the video, even though i kinda hoped for Maiden to be in it.. The concept is ok, the animation of eddie is pretty lame at times, but its still a pretty good video. Can't wait for the full version of the song! I have a feeling this will be a very good album. Both songs so far are pretty good, and the Maiden-singles from the past few albums haven't been my favorites at all, so i defenitely have hopes!

Nick · « **Reply #1008 on:** July 13, 2010, 10:18:48 AM »

Shows the last two nights were awesome. Both performances were excellent, but it's quite sad when an opening act manages to have far superior sound to the headlining act. It's been a long problem with them, and Maiden really has to try and clear up their live sound a bit, even if it means lowering the volume a bit.

Cool Chris · « **Reply #1009 on:** July 13, 2010, 10:36:22 AM »

Liked the riffs and solos, but nothing about the vocal lines or lyrics stood out as anything special. Enjoyed first listens to this an 'El Dorado' so still can't wait for album.

Video wasn't nearly as cheesy as I thought it would have (or could have) been. When this TFF Eddie first made its appearance (as just a head) I thought it was a cool concept, but the more I see of it (album cover, live show, now this video) I don't really care for it at all. Oh well, who gives a shit if the album rocks.

TAC · « **Reply #1010 on:** July 13, 2010, 10:41:16 AM »

Weei in Boston (a sportsradio station) just came back from a commercial break to the opening of The Wicker Man.

Nick · « **Reply #1011 on:** July 13, 2010, 10:43:33 AM »

Just watched The Final Frontier, song did next to nothing for me.

Zydar · « **Reply #1012 on:** July 13, 2010, 10:53:46 AM »

Yeah I sadly agree Nick. Hopefully the song will grow on me though.

zxlkho · « **Reply #1013 on:** July 13, 2010, 10:59:44 AM »

Yeah, I just watched The Final Frontier. It's not really anything special but it certainly isn't bad. The solo is awesome though.

zerogravityfat · « **Reply #1014 on:** July 13, 2010, 11:00:22 AM »

i'm not a fan of the new eddie, i like the classic one.
