well, i started off with "no prayer for the dying" and "fear of the dark" as my first two Maiden cds (IMO the weakest with Bruce) and didnt get really hooked onto them until i heard "the number of the beast". I still have a real soft spot for "no prayer" and listen to it more than most of the Maiden albums because it was my first, but i wouldnt say its the best introduction to the band. Also, if you've never heard Maiden before and start off with something from Blayze's years he might never get into them, as alot of people do not enjoy his era as much. still, every Maiden album is great but not all are perfect to start with.

i find the song "No prayer for the dying" wonderful to listen to, and NPFTD is actualy one of my fav albums... along with VXI...

I have "Number of the Beast," "Piece of Mind," and "Powerslave." The best stuff to start with, and I'm going in order too.

5. Hooks in you
6. The assasin
7. Public Enema number one

yeah, kinda like that, i dont like to rate songs, since i love every maiden song as much as the other...

And Motorhead and sepultura are coming to my town! :D know its probaly nothing to brag about, but my entire country have an population at size with half of Manhattan in new york :p (we are only 4 millions) so big bands usually go to the capitol :D!!! wrong thread :p im just so deamn exited!

edit:
hmmm. Just noticed... im wearing my Hooks in you t-shirt today... :p the one with eddie standing over some guy with 3 hooks as an hand...

i started to read through this board page by page and then realized theres a miraculous 56 ****ing pages. It's good to see my all time favorite band has such a following. I'm getting a job soon and after i upgrade my guitar rig all my money goes straight to maiden cd's as all i can listen to now are mp3s. im probably going to buy piece of mind and power slave first. any objections?

haha, i went to see maiden last december at manchester MEN, frigging awesome, and harris is a big thing for me, being a bass player (or trying to be)

maiden rule over any other band. favourite albums - x-factor, fear of the dark and dance of death. favourite songs no more lies, fear of the dark, fotunes of war and running free.

ah, right.. :thumb:

Hello, I started this thread. I'm on a different account now though.

The irony of me starting this thread is that I didn't even like IM when I made this thread. :lol:

But I like them now.

[QUOTE=ACSMAT]SOAD dusn't suck

Surprisingly, I agree with you. I like SOAD, but when I want to hear some great bass playing, who am I gonna run to? Maiden, that's who.

i HAVE noticed that because i have a real petpeve with rosewood fretboards, i adore maple and all of my guitar must have maple! Adrian's gibson's obviously have rosewood becuase Gibson never makes maple necks. i wonder if Janick has ever noticed before?

ok, i willl look for that video....what was the name of it?
