not at all!!! its a blessing!!

ALSO...."quest for fire" has a power metalish chorus.

The new 'Montsegur' or how ever it's spelt has a more than a rough resemblance to power metal.

And I don't really enjoy Heaven can wait much. :(

^^^

that song is one that i think defines Maiden's sound. The "woo ooo ooo" chanting, uplifint chorus, triplets in the verse, long musical interlude with solos by both adrian and davey, and a long outro...Maiden to the max.

try "caught somewhere in time". GREAT bass work by Steve :thumb:

"i can't believe that really my time has time, i don't feel ready there's so much left undone, and it's my soul and i'm not gonna let it get away...heaven can wait, heaven can wait till another day!!" -Steve Harris 1986

The orchestral version of Dance of Death is sucj an amazing song.The orchestra works so well.

The best Maiden song is The Trooper.

Who's heard the orchestral version of Dance of Death.It was on the Rainmaker single,I think.Anyway,it's amazing!

My opinion is that Iron Maiden is the Best British Band and Metallic are the Best American band. I cant pick between them they both rule too much. And especially as i saw both of them at earls court within a week of each other lol. And DOD is a kick *** album. I love to play dance of death. ****in owns.

Ace album. maybe not as good as BNW but still in their top 5.

The songs worked really well live aswell, especially dance of death and paschendale

groovy album:)

Can someone tell me who does the first solo in The Lonliness of the Long Distance Runner? It's my favorite maiden solo.

davey does i think ^^

Its usually easy to tell the difference with Iron Maiden leads. Davey plays with his neck pick up and is more meliodic, uses hammer ons, and is very legatto. Adrian can either be very bluesly, string bends, or he can be the speed demon with long runs and blayzing picking. Janick, although a great riff/songwriter is a third leg lead player, and he is generally a speedpicker and sloopy in his leads both in studio and live.

Brave New World is indeed a stronger album. I find that Dance of Death lacks a high percentage of quality songs and that some of them made it on there simply to beef up the track listing up. Also, most of the songs seem to be just a little less well writen than previous efforts. One of Maidens weakest albums in my opinion.

ARGH! I hate that paschendale riff also.

I think that for being a bands 13th studio album it is perfect. The fact that Steve and the boys can still crank out good music for this long, so consistantly, is amazing to begin with...now that they have gotten to the point in their career where they have "Nothing to Prove" its more about good songwriting and overall enjoyment for themselves with broadening thier sound. They have kept their classic sound without being repetative vocally and lyrically, not to mention becoming very good at "word painting" with the guitars on the choruses.

Overall, people are to hard on bands later in their career. Writing the same album over and over just to please the "original" fans bore both the band, and alot of fans who respect and enjoy all their efforts over the years, reagardless of lineup changes or directions they have taken. Dance of Death is a wonderful album and im proud to have it be appart of Iron Maiden's ledgendary legacy. enough said, if you dont appriciate it...thats your loss.

its good, but not truly spectacular... it's no Powerslave

im going to upload my LA 1/31 bootleg...ill post the link here when im done.

please do!

I hate to say this, but I think there is a tie for greatest British Band. It's between Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest. I can't decide who's better. Halford and Dickenson have awesome voices, and the talent of the two bands are equal in my eyes. I haven't seen either live, though, so I think that would be the deciding factor. Is Maiden touring this summer? I already plan on seeing Anthrax, Priest, and possibly Ozzfest, but I'm not sure.

of course im going to go with Maiden over Priest.

yeah, Priest were never as consistently good as maiden, though Painkiller rocks on some insane level

ive never listen to maiden, all these replies inspired me to listen to them. I love iron Maiden. "Run to the hilllllllllllllsss!, run for your liiiiiiiiiiiiifffe!"

if oyu break down Priest and Maiden, its a preety close matchup overall. Vocally, its all what you prefer...both Bruce and Rob have remarkable voices, that are distinct and godlike, guitars....to hard to judge, in riffs....leads...solos, they are evenly matched in my book. Bass, Steve destroys Ian Hill...no base for compaison at all. Drums, Clive was a powerhouse like Les Binks was, and Dave Holland was more of a "filler" drummer, but Nicko really enhances Maiden's sound with his stlye of drumming, and Scott Travis is just youy typical "run of the mill" double-bass junkie IMO. Songwriting, again...its all what you prefer. I think JP have to many filler songs on to many of their albums, while Maiden really do not, plus i feel Steve's style of writing is much more diverse (with album themes and styles) than KK n Glens. Lyrically, Priest are what define heavy metal, while Maiden are based more around history and ledgend...which is alot more impressive than singing about heavy metal in general.

my vote will ALWAYS be with Maiden over Priest, but i would never say that either are a better band.
