I can't wait. I've been a huge Maiden fan since 1982. They were the most powerful band the kids in my neighborhood had ever seen. I find it amazing that they are still knockin' them out. When I was younger, I always saw 50 year olds as old mo' fo's but these guys give me inspiration to keep on kicking some ass. I'm 39 as as soon as I drop 40 pounds off of my fat ass, I'll feel like I'm 25 again. Stay active.

I want it!!! man, if Steve Harris records a fart and puts it out in a cd, I will buy it!!!

BassGod · #4 07-05-2006, 09:54 PM

Up The Irons.

I'll be buying this the day it's released. I hope they don't start to sound tired though.

P.S. Those are some lame song titles. I hope for the best...

Yeah... was thinking the same thing. I find it hard to believe that they made an awesome song and said "well, we just can't think of a good title. Let's call it 'colors don't run.'"

Still, if they think it went well, then it might be good.

I agree with you. I find it hard to believe that they made an awesome song and said "well, we just can't think of a good title. Maybe they are poking fun at the attitude some of us have about fighting overseas. Maybe they are saying something really intelligent, just like Maiden always does. Or maybe its a history lesson. We all know Maiden is capable of teaching us a thing or two about history. Maybe its an adaptation of a book. Thats very possible given the history of Maiden songs.

Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg, its a cool name, someoen on blabbermouth says that its their codename for Paul, if so cool :P!

I'm definatley getting this the day it comes out. I was underwhelmed with Brave New World but I really liked Dance of Death so hopefully this one is at least as good as that.

Up The Irons!

SWEEET, can't wait!

BTW I think the song titles are cool, they sound so bloody epic

cant wait to hear "For The Greater Good of God", 9:24 of 'Arry genius (hopefully)

Totally agree on all points... With a few of them there is no denying which band member they are supposed to be... they LOOK like them.

haha good point
lets see... (from left to right)

singer, lead guitarist, drummer, bassist, rhythm guitar

the fuglier ones have to be kept at the back of the stage

Youngspanion · #14 07-08-2006, 09:27 AM

Far right is Wanda Ortiz. Bassist. The woman in the center is the lovely singer. I think they are all lovely, in their own way.

peace

flon_klar · #15 07-08-2006, 09:41 AM

So anyway, back to topic...

Besides Steve, you know what's great about Maiden? Average song length on the new album is over 7 minutes! I just love that!

And I agree with SlavaF: the song titles are awesome! Typical "epic-yet-campy" Maiden titles. I'm DYING to hear it!

goddamn!

back on topic... I love all their long songs too, Maiden's average song lengths have been gradually increasing from album to album, which is always a good thing

their longer songs are usually my favorites on the album, Dance of Death and Paschendale being my favs from DOD. This should be a damn fine CD!

haha more off topic goodness...

I'm listening to Number Of The Beast right now

flon_klar · #20 07-08-2006, 12:21 PM

OK, here's one for ya- Is there any other band that could pull off a song about a darkly satanic subject (The Number of the Beast) using a riff in a MAJOR key??? I'm thinking NO!!
