New Maiden Album

I just found out that Iron Maiden are planning a new album for 2010 and I thought I'd post this and get peoples thoughts. Do you think it'll be good? Planning on seeing them on tour? I know I am.

far as im concernd, their last great album was powerslave in 84....ok ok, the albums after that up until Fear of the Dark were decent, but i havent been wowed

i didnt know they had a new album, and i probably wont download it

but they were sick in concert. glad they were my first

Do you not like the new Bruce Dickinson/Adrian Smith stuff?

i do not.

classic all the way baby

convince me otherwise.
post 3 songs to defend your argument

I'll give you an album: Brave New World
Listen to it and, I'm telling you, you'll love it.

ehhhhh
ok
ill trust you

very rare, but ill give it a shot.

Good man. Make sure to tell me what you think of it.

playing wicker man right now

so far, it is just typical maiden. nothing special


i should also let you know my musical tastes have moved past classical and power and all that stuff.
im into much odder things now, so i hope my review wont be biased.

Do not be discouraged if he does not like it lol

yeah
to give you an idea
axe has reccommended like 25 bands....i think i didnt like 24 of them

well,m maybe i truly didnt like 20 of them, the other five i enjoyed, but it just wasnt for me

Lol, I'm slightly worried now, I think The Wicker Man's one of the best tracks on it.

classic is classic. the 90s were bad for most bands when it comes to creative. mostly because of the new grunge influence.
and sure they kick ass on tour but i thought that the somewhere back in time, or what was it called was their last one. but then again if the rollingstones can have 30+ last tours so can iron maiden

it was decent. i accidentilly closed the link
quite catchy and like other maiden songs.

but ho boy if that was their best track, ill stop. i liked it a little bit.
but powerslave is epic, and there is no topping that

It's ok it's just Brute : )

I would be really proud if you enjoyed 5 out of 25 bands I showed you Brute. The only one I can actually remember you liking to an extent was Obscura. And I remember I came super close to being the one that showed you Equilibium, that would have been a proud moment

so close and yet so far.

i think remember liking andromeda. i should try it again.

Andromeda is very cool. I'm also fairly positive you would like Pagan's Mind. Think along the lines of Dream Theater. Maybe my selection didn't reach your properly. But I'm in love with Pagan's Mind right now. I am also fairly certain you would enjoy skyfire, although it's more progressive melo death

Oh shit, don't stop because of what I said! NO!

Lol, it's alright, everyone likes different things. And styx, I never heard anything about this tour being their last. But then again, rumours like that fly that all the time about bands that are getting on a bit.

fine fine

ill give it ago later today

true only when their costume chick tells you that then you have a pretty close source

Their costume chick told you that?

Oh well, by the looks of it it's not true.

yep. i work as a roadie so i get some behind the scenes news .
but then again bands change their minds every so often so it wouldn't surprise me if my grandkids would still be listening to iron maiden and motorhead

Of course I'll check out the new Iron Maiden album. It's Iron Maiden like holy f***...
I don't know if it'll be good but it doesn't matter. It might be.

Cool, so you were a roadie for Maiden?

styx was, not vr

Yes, yes I was.

/Jokes.

yep. main crew. well that doesn't say much but it's like this:
you have the road crew - mostly techs that go with the band and handle what ever the band is taking with them. instruments, sound, light. depends on who it is.

the main crew - that's the local crew most times. on some occasions that's the best crew around that can be sent to the place where the concert is being held to do their job. these guys do everything that is needed except instruments. lights and sound sometimes are also their concern. only they are allowed to handle the band equipment and to directly work with the road crew.

the local crew - in cases where you have the main crew and the local crew being different, the local crew is there only as support for the main crew. they handle the "steel" - stage and ground support. at times they can work with special equipment like lights and sound but only if the road crew approves it. in some cases that equipment is not from the band but from the main crew and then they can also help out with it. these guys you won't see anywhere near the backstage or when the concert is going on. their sole purpose is to put together and dismantle the steel, and to help with the load in and load out.

Cool, is it good work? You met any big bands?

the work is good. well hard but i enjoy it. the money - well for this hellhole it's good, for looking at the wider picture it's shit. still i love it.
and about the bands - yep met a few and had some interesting time

this thread might help you further in what i have seen this far:

Nice one. Anyway, back on topic, is there anyone apart from me who thinks this album's gonna be good?

to be honest i was expecting the last testament album to fail and it was great. but then again i was expecting the last judas album to be epic and it wasn't. so you can never tell with those thigns

oh and here we rarely stay on topic

I agree Styx.

Last time Iron Maiden changed their sound a bit so honestly I have NO idea what to expect.

Hmm, well, I don't know. I'm being optimistic and hoping that it's good and it's been a long time since I've actually found a Maiden album dissapointing.

When if it's Iron Maiden and you don't know what to expect, it's a good thing.

Yeah, I suppose. Well, I think we can all agree that, whether the album is good or not, the tour will be phenomenal.

Dance of death was good and that was 2002 I believe

Dark, I definitly have high hopes if they are indeed putting out a new album-no it will not be better than their 80's tunes but I think most people don't expect it to be. I would give it a listen anyways and go to one of their shows just to see them live because it will likely be a kick ass performance

Maybe it will suck, like all their other albums.

Iron Maiden still slay live, but their last 4 albums have been pretty poor. I can't see seem them improving so I'll pass on it.

i changed my mind. ill give it a listen. how can i not, its iron maiden.

That's what I've been trying to say, +rep.

There we go, brute. I personally don't see why anyone doesn't like their more recent stuff. I love it.
