    Best metal band in the world. I was a fan when Di'Anno was there after buying Iron Maiden and Killers but first seen them live in ST. Davids hall Cardiff with Dickinson and Nicko replacing Di'Anno and Clive Burr (RIP) on the 1983 Piece Of Mind tour, outstanding gig.
    Haven't seen them as many times as some of you 'Irons' (10 times), my favourite live gig was in late 2006, again in Cardiff, A Matter Of Life And Death. An absolute brilliant show and superb album to go with it...

Live is as good as (and most times better than) the studio sound. Just undisputed awesome!

      Berneer They did mention him briefly, but failed to mention his strength with The Force, his prowess with a Lightsaber, his cameo in "Flight Of Icarus", his co writing of the "New Frontier", his religion, or his hit and run incident.
      (they also mispronounced his name so they made him sound like the chick from Velvet Underground)
      In my opinion, he is the only known living drummer that could actually give Grandmaster skin basher Neil Peart a run for his percussive money.

    The Wicker Man...Maiden's last great 'ear candy' song that was a throw back to the old days. Now everything is a quasi-melodic 6 minute epic song. Ugh. Bring back the good ol days 'Murders in the Rue Morgue', 'Killers' 'Run to the Hills' and 'Aces High'.

      What about "Rainmaker", "Different World" and "Speed of Light" ?

    • @guibox3
      @guibox3 7 років тому

      @ Robert Rusch The above ones you mentioned are melodic (Speed of Light less so) but they still lack the gritty punch of the ones I mentioned. I don't know how to explain it.

    • @bdrainmaker

      "The Final Frontier"? Look up the Cover of "Jorn". You can feel literally the power!
      Beside that I love "A Matter of Life and Death", which is the best album after their reunion imo.

      You obviously are not old enough to remember that that is actually true. They obviously don't sound like metal by today's standards, but they are definitely one of the bands that started the NWOBHM, which started in the late 70's when Iron Maiden and Def Leppard were both formed. And if you think Judas Priest should have been mentioned instead, you're sadly mistaken because they were already around long before that.

    Rime of the ancient mariner isn't their longest song anymore. The brand new double album book of souls has a song called empire of the clouds that's 18 minutes long.

      Venom is rubbish,lame and nothing to do with black metal, except for an album name. Bathory is the real thing for black metal

    • @ritamoura2012
      @ritamoura2012 7 років тому

      Venom is the Black Metal music period. The dirty sound, the satanic lyrics, the image...and they call themselves BLACK METAL before no one in the fucking planet play what after became the black metal scene. So this is the true. VENOM IS THE REAL THE UNIQUE THE TRUE BLACK METAL BAND. And Iron Maiden is the more popular NWOBHM band in the world that real help to spread the metal music to all the land. Before all this, Black Sabbath gives de first step to real deep heavy music (with some liltle help of Deep Purple and Led Zeplin and many other 70´s heavy rock bands around the world, like Uriah Heep, UFO, AC/DC, Alice Cooper etc etc...) and than it was Judas Priest that take it to another level, and gives birth to the real "traditional" Heavy Metal that inspired many of the NWOBHM bands, than after Priest came Motorhead that gives a lilte help on more dirty sound with the real rock n rol atitude and lilte punk influence, that inspired many bands after them...like Venom (that is a mix of judas priest and motorhead influencies) and with the scream of the NWOBHM came the rest, thrash..speed, power, death..etc etc untill today...this is the simple true history of metal music....sorry for my english...but i think any one can uderstand the message. cheers from Portugal!
