[QUOTE=blackthorne]yeh they are but if paul stayed maiden might have been stuck in a creative rut - [b]kinda held back by him[/b][/QUOTE]

i wouldnt say so. Paul had a great range but alot of his songs didnt need that range. Iron maiden definately wouldnt be as big as they are now, but Paul certainly didnt hold maiden back.

As for blaze, i wouldnt mind if he was the voice for BNW. But he did definately leave at the right time.

And i <3 killers

[QUOTE=ashman]Long time no see Gur. How's things?
[/QUOTE]

Not too bad, yerself?

The extent to which I know bruce's solo stuff is the tattoo'd millionaire album. The title song was great, and I think that had the all the young dudes cover on it, which was pretty good (and I saw him do it live at the LGS :cool:), but mostly, not that strong material-wise.

Well it really depends if you like Bruce's cleaner more operatic-styled vocals than Paul's more energetic 'punkish' vox. For me, Bruce's voice is so much more appealing its like night and day.

whoa, Gur came back :)
why'd the thread get re-named?
(i've been away 2 days)
i like Paul's vox, Bruce's vox, and Blaze's, although i prefer Blaze on his solo stuff, even though he pwnd for maiden.

Read the various notices, Yoshi, the forum got a bit of tweaking while I was away, as were you.

I like all the songs on Killers, the Title track, MITRM, Drifter and Another life especially.

I have yet to hear anything with Paul singing...

I haven't heard Dance of Death yet and I'm seeing them live in December. Should I listen to DoD before seeing them live? Will they be playing a lot of those songs?

[QUOTE=Prince of Darkness]I haven't heard Dance of Death yet and I'm seeing them live in December. Should I listen to DoD before seeing them live? Will they be playing a lot of those songs?[/QUOTE]
possibly a couple of them.
listen to the album anyway, it's great :)

Nah, they'll probably only take one forward, hopefully Paschendale, maybe The title track or The Journeyman.

Get the album anyways though.

Is the album similar to Brave New World?

Hmm, I noticed that a few Maiden abums were like at a 2 for either 25 or 30$ sale the last few tiems I went to an HMV, which is very good, considering we pay about 25$ an album here. Hopefully DoD, SSOASS and Powerslave are in in that sale when I go there to a buy Maiden albums. Or are those not the ones I should get ?

If you don't already have Peice of mind, X-Factor and Brave new world, then yep.

[QUOTE=Stormrider331]I have yet to hear anything with Paul singing...[/QUOTE]
Buy Killers, now.

Oh oops, I forgot about X - Factor. I already have a real copy of Peice of Mind and BNW on my computer.

Though, I wasn't really amazed by the X - Factor songs that I have :-/

X-Factor's alright, IMO. First three songs, blood on the world's hands & Unbeliever are good, but otherwise find the album a bit too samey and, well, not very high in adreneline.

For the guy who hasn't heard paul sing, I think paul's vocal style suits the S/T more than it does Killers, so mebbe track that one down? I prefer it to Killers meself.

[QUOTE=GurS]Not too bad, yerself?[/QUOTE]

I be good.

I'm kinda in a "I don't know what to make about this new album" rut.

You best be excited.

And, for the record
s/t >>>Killers

Agreed.

S/T >>> Killers.

Fix'd.

The edge of darkness? I dont really like 'the unbeliever' all that much, it's kind of a dissapointing album closer.

and for the Paul albums:
S/T has stronger material on it, but killers production is %1000000000000000 more better.

So i agree with the S/T>killers
But im a bit biased considering S/T was the first real album i bought.

I'd say Killers > S/T because I just generally prefer the feel of the album and it has lots of great songs on it. Personally, I find S/T a bit lacking, but each to his own.

I don't have a favourite between the two, they're both very good (not my favourites), but are reasonably equal in terms of the quality tracks.

I got Killers and Piece Of Mind for $20 :cool:

Killers and S/T are very similar IMO. I think i prefer Killers more though.

Yeah, I've kind of gotten into killers alot more.

I would say is was close, Killers hasn't got anything the quality of strange world, but Killers has stronger stuff overall.

Killers > S/T. Although the self titled does contain Phantom, which is still one of the best songs Maiden have ever recorded imo.

So true.

Phantom is seriously amazing..

So..I think that Weekend Warrior may be one of Maiden's most under-rated songs ever. It's a really good song, not so much Maiden sounding, but still a really good song.

Weekend Warrior is a good song but, like most of the FotD album, it just doesn't grab me.

Yeah..FotD isn't much of an album but still..On it Weekend Warrior would have to be probably one of my favorite songs. (Out of like..it and the t/t)

Yeah, but the TT is crappy compared to the live versions.
