Right now I am listening to Ballroom Blitz by Sweet and Talk Dirty to Me by everyone's favorite, Poison.

BTW, if you all have never heard of Audiosurf, you should check it out. Very entertaining way to listen to music!

If youre feeling down depressed and lonely
I know a place where we can go
22 acacia avenue meet a lady that I know
So if youre looking for a good time
And youre prepared to pay the price
Fifteen quid is all she asks for
Everybodys got their vice

Maiden were the nuts when they had Di'Anno at the helm. Went downhill after they swapped him for Dickinson [:(]

[Gem35]

Disagree, both had their own style but Maiden as we all know is all Steve Harris.
Bruce developed into a great front man IMHO.

Agree with you about Harris, but I preferred Di'Anno , he had a much more raw voice and I thought it suited the music better. Not saying that Dickinson was not a great showman, but for me that is the problem. It all became much more theatrical. Di'Anno sounded like a old rough neck off the council estates, which is exactly what he was, while Dickinson sounded like a choir singing public schoolboy, which is exactly what he is. Still, each to their own [;)]

[Adraeth]

For me:
 
Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Jethro Tull,Black Sabbath, PFM, Le Orme, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Iron Maiden, Pantera, Megadeth, Opeth, InFlames, Savatage.... and as my sign .... Tenacious D .... an so on
 
P.S. Iron Maiden live in italy the 27th of June; Jethro Tull the 5th of July, Deep Purple the 12th of July (all near my town ... i will be there [:D])

It's good to agree that we disagree, I will give you the fact Bruce was a showman but the way the band evolved and the fact that eddy was used more as a marketing tool, the natural progression of the band was made just for that purpose.
Merchandise was produced and they moved towards the mainstream to make more money.
I do have alot of favorites like wraithchild and remember tomorrow as well as rime of the ancient mariner and moonchild, both singers had their strengths but Bruce dominated for the most part.

If we all agreed on the same things the World would be a boring place [;)]

Take your point about the way the band evolved, most bands go the same way as the shows get bigger and bigger. Same thing happened to AC/DC after Brian replaced Bon, with the band relying more on stage gimmick's like inflatable Rosie's etc.

I'm not adverse to all Dickinson era songs, love "The Trooper" for example. When I was in my teens I had all the Maiden album's up until Powerslave. Actually, I started out with the Dickinson stuff and discovered Di'Anno later on. Still got them all floating around on cassette and vinyl somewhere's. As I got older my tastes changed. I prefer my rock a bit more "gritty", so the only ones I have replaced on cd have been the Di'Anno ones. Have toyed with the idea about getting The Number of The Beast, though.

Now, what about Blaze Bayley.......................

Honestly? I could care less, when Bruce left I "left". I didn't want to go through another guy, I am just glad bruce came back and they made Brave new World.

The Blaze Bayley thing was a bit tongue in cheek[;)] I'm not qualified to judge him cos i've never heard his stuff with Maiden, but from what I have read it wasn't too pretty [X(] It seems a lot of fans were very happy to have Bruce back.

And now for something completely different.
 
Gentleman (and Ladies if any ever wander into these parts) I give you The God-Like Genius that is Mark E. Smith. Twenty-seven studio albums, untold live and compilation albums, the only band who's back catalogue can be seen from space, this is The Fall - Free Range.

Missed this last night in my drunken state. Dickinson still sounds like a choir boy but what a great riff. Like you said its always been about Harris [:)]

Getting visions of cornfields now. Dunno why [;)]
