That song was the soundtrack to my early summer. I was so pumped for the show and when I think of early summer that song comes to mind. Good times.

Listening to the setlist now, and I freaking love El Dorado's lyrics.

Indeed.

One of my favorites on TFF, tbh.

Yeah, and in pretty good condition too. And by pretty good, I mean almost new looking and sounding. Love all the things in the artwork you can't see on the CD version

I made the mistake of hearing original masters after getting all the 1998 remasters. Now I'm buying them all again...

Same with Somewhere In Time

I have the original CD but the first bit of audio in Aces High is cut off. So....... My Aces High..... Starts suddenly... Anyone else have this problem?

sneakyblueberry · « **Reply #2457 on:** February 28, 2011, 04:17:04 PM »

How is that a problem?

No, jk. I didn't have that problem when I had the original.

Zook · « **Reply #2458 on:** March 01, 2011, 10:44:49 AM »

I swear, everything I buy is defective... Well I guess I'll have to be on the look out for Powerslave again. I can't have this garbage as part of my collection... ARGH!

Despite not being a fan of this band, outside of a handful of tunes, this is still pretty cool:

Fourth favourite band, love what they've done so far. Not a fan of Steve Harris' bass tone, though.

I know this post is almost two years old by now, but I have to ask. How can Maiden be one of your favorite bands if you don't like Steve's bass tone? It's such a huge part of their sound.

Zook · « **Reply #2462 on:** March 04, 2011, 09:57:41 AM »

Maybe he means his new tone. The twangy thing he's doing these days. His 80s tone was godly.

Exactly. I especially love the bass sound on Piece Of Mind and Somewhere In Time. Not a fan of his clickety-clickety-clickety-click he's been using since Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son at all.

I love both. The twangier post-SSOASS is pure Harris tone to me.

Congrats! The best live band out there! Where did you see them?

Jirpo · « **Reply #2469 on:** March 08, 2011, 06:31:32 AM »

At Soundwave Festival in my home town, Perth, Australia. They played the expected setlist and it was just amazing! My highlights were probably Fear of the Dark, The Talisman (fucking insane live!!!), Blood Brothers, and of course Hallowed and TNOTB. Bruce's voice sounded amazing in the El Dorado chorus as well. And The Final Frontier was great too! Bruce has such an incredible stage presence, and his voice is amazing live.

TAC · « **Reply #2470 on:** March 08, 2011, 07:10:04 AM »

Australia..cool!
They have a great setlist for this tour.

sneakyblueberry · « **Reply #2471 on:** March 08, 2011, 02:20:00 PM »

Awesome, Jirp!

I was hoping they'd swing by NZ after Soundwave.... but nope. Sucks to live in the bumhole of the world sometimes

Gadough · « **Reply #2472 on:** March 08, 2011, 03:21:48 PM »

Just got Seventh Son. I'm liking what I'm hearing.

Jirpo · « **Reply #2478 on:** March 09, 2011, 04:23:01 AM »

Haha yeah I heard about that a little while ago

And Seventh Son is a great album, although it isn't one of my faves it really does flow nicely, particularly the second half. The first half is really great too but doesn't seem to flow as well. My fave track: Infinite Dreams

Zydar · « **Reply #2479 on:** March 09, 2011, 05:07:51 AM »

Seventh Son is probably my favourite Maiden album, so many great tracks on it. Although I've never quite liked The Prophecy for some reason.

TAC · « **Reply #2480 on:** March 09, 2011, 05:24:26 AM »

A second tier track for sure but I love The Prophecy.
I rank it #5 on the album ahead of The Clairvoyant, Only The Good Die Young, and Can I Play With Madness.

Mladen · « **Reply #2481 on:** March 09, 2011, 07:16:22 AM »

That's a great album, my second favorite right behind Somewhere in time. Every track is just awesome, and The Prophecy might even be one of my favorites. That last minute with acoustic guitars is so beautiful...

wolfking · « **Reply #2482 on:** March 09, 2011, 01:44:29 PM »

The Prophecy is a gem. It was Maiden stepping out and doing something a little different. The ending is amazing and the middle instrumental section is awesome aswell.

I always loved Davey's songwriting; Prophecy, Total Eclipse, Judas Be My Guide, Brave New World, Still Life, Justice of the Peace, Twilight Zone, Deja Vu, Thin Line Between Love and Hate, Rainmaker, Fates Warning etc. all great stuff.
