Iron Maiden - The Book of Souls - Out now!

[Corazon de Leon]

YOU'D BETTER STAND THERE'S NO TURNING BACK!

[Dual]

First band I ever saw live so I hold them pretty dear to my heart.

Saw them at the Birmingham NEC on the Dance of Death tour. All the live theatrics were amazing to watch. The 12ft Eddie was particularly cool.

Anyway, Iron Maiden yeah

[Drumstick]

I don't get the fuss about The Trooper. Sure it's very catchy and all and has a nice hook but there's at least two tracks off Piece of Mind which I prefer.

[Corazon de Leon]

Yeah, but shut up.

Bruce Dickinson is one of the few musicians I would genuinely love to have a pint with. Seems like a great guy.

[Squinty]

Everyone knows Rime of the Ancient Mariner is the best maiden song.

[Crimson]

Everyone knows Rime of the Ancient Mariner is the best maiden song.

I could never pick just one song but Mariner would definitely be in my top ten.

[Drumstick]

Hell, if we're doing top tens:

1) Aces High
2) Heaven Can Wait
3) The Wicker Man
4) Iron Maiden
5) Die With Your Boots On
6) Caught Somewhere in Time
7) Where Eagles Dare
8) The Number of the Beast
9) Wrathchild
10) Fear of the Dark

[Jimmy Shedders]

RUN, LIIIIIIVE TO FLLLLLLLLLY!

[Crimson]

Not in order of preference:

Aces High
2 Minutes to Midnight
Powerslave
Mariner
Fear of the Dark
Brave New World
For the Greater Good of God
Hallowed Be Thy Name
Can I Play With Madness
Wasted Years

[Drumstick]

I would assume Powerslave is your favourite of their albums then, given that you've listed half of it there?

I find it really difficult to rank their albums.

Probably is, I could never say for sure but there's just something about it.

Found this while browsing Gaf's thread about Muse's latest Live pisstake, and it seems Maiden did something similar years ago.

Iron Maiden? More like I'm ashamed of 'em.

It's the mental connection between buddy brothers, dude.

You make me ashamed that forced sterilisation for being so strawberry floating wrong in the head isn't legal.

[TheTurnipKing]
