    Thumbs up Iron Maiden

    I dug out a few of my Dad's old albums from this band, they rock!
    my dad liked them when he was a kid too so saved me money.

    What do you think of Iron Maiden, one of the most legendery Heavy Metal bands their is. Number of The Beast, Seventh son of a Seventh Son and Iron Maiden were all good albums but the band really can sing and their theme of lyrics and riffs is what makes them so godly IMO. Ok people discuss!

    I think Iron Maiden have some great guitar players and a superlative bassist, The song "Flight of Icarus" has the best power scream i've ever heard.

    All in all Iron Maiden are like a 9/10

    Run to the Hills and Number of the Beast are some of my personal favourites. Sveneth Son of a Seventh SOn, Moonchild, Powerslave, Hallowed Be Thy Name, Iron Maiden and Alexander the Great are also some favourites, I just cannot decide which is the best but Dickinson and Harris have some serious talent power screaming and normal singing.

    I like the solo to 2 minutes to midnight, The trooper is another great song with a Great solo to it.

    I agree with Venom, 9/10 is the score I give Iron Maiden as well, very kick ass band, always stays true to their sound and they're so MYSTICAL in a way, they remind me a lot of the SNES days you know. But yeah...great band.

    favorite songs:
    -Caught Somewhere In Time
    -Sea Of Madness
    -Powerslave
    -Rime Of The Ancient Mariner
    -The Clayvoyant

    Ditto.

    Hollowed Be Thy Name and Run to the Hills are their best songs. Classics.

    Maiden are great, Dickinson is one of the best singers around. My favourite album is Dance of Death.

    They're excellent for a reason, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Dokken and Deep Purple are more over rated than Iron Maiden though. Who cares if you think they're over rated, they do good music, good songs and alot of them are very famous for a R-E-A-S-O-N.

    They do but they arent as great as the are said to be, close though, very close.
    British Heavy Metal bands dominated the 70s and 80s, most new bands use the keyboard which annoys me to hell.

    Key Boards are ok, as long as you know how to use them, I prefer when the artist chooses to use the piano (Ya know Motley crue doing home sweet home, and GNR doing November Rain) Because it just makes a ballad sound good, But Key Boards are annoying cause it just kills the whole guitar apect of a band.

    Keyboard based music is often times much better than guitar based music. Take, Solefald for example, their keyboards are much more important than their guitars on a few albums and well guess what they are better than 95% of metal bands.

    Anyways.

    Iron Maiden are not as good as everyone says they are, and just because they are famous doesn't mean they are that good.

    Helstar are smurfing MILES ahead of Iron Maiden, but they are not as famous.

    -Hallowed Be Thy Name
    -From Here to Eternity
    -Fear Of The Dark
    -Wicker Man
    -Wildest Dreams
    -Journeyman
    -Aces High
    -Another Life
    -Holy Smoke
    -Remember Tommorow
    -Clayrvoyant
