What's wrong with Number Of the Beast? You don't like "Hallowed Be Thy Name"?

My first Maiden album was Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.

Okay Anthony, now I'm REALLY going to tease you. Iron Maiden the kings of suck???? They are the epitome of 80s virtuoso demon metal! I will have a soft spot for any group that does songs about Satan, dogfighting and epic poetry with musicians trained at the Royal Academy.

Novice!
And Iron Maiden are the kings of suck
Do not EVER talk to me again. Do not EVER address me again. If you see me coming down the street, AVERT YOUR GAZE or, better yet, CROSS THE STREET. Do not befoul the oxygen we might momentarily share by speaking. You do not exist to me.

I also just remembered that Third Eye Blind's best song, "Losing a Whole Year," sounds more like Mott The Hoople (or at least solo Ian Hunter) than anything the Clash ever did. (And wow, didn't some Iron Maiden moron cover a Mott or Ian song on some solo LP once? Weird.)
― chuck, Monday, 12 May 2003 14:48 (twenty years ago) link
Mr. Dickinson covered "All the Young Dudes," so Mott/Bowie I guess. The video was craptacular.

Just better than about 99.99 percent of rock bands since 1980; no big deal, I suppose. (*Especially* if early Cars + early AC/DC doesn't mow your lawn. Though Kix have their Hooplish moments too, actually.)

And with that, the considerable burden of credibility was lifted from Chuck's aching shoulders.

The first sentence about really creeps me out, though I hope it's a joke. Either way, I should add that the mythology and operatic vocal bullshit has been done both more rockingly AND more beautifully than Maiden by scores of dark-metal (and other kinds of metal) bands AFTER them, as well. (Including lots and lots of bands -- from Voivod to Guns N Roses to beyond -- that claim Maiden as an *influence*!) So it ain't just the '70s that blows them out of the water, believe me. (Partly, it's just that they're VERY VERY EASY TO IMPROVE ON.)
― chuck, Monday, 12 May 2003 16:08 (twenty years ago) link
I meant "the first sentence above." (I.E. Anybody who thinks that there's ANY music that I'm not allowed to disrespect is, uh, wrong.)
― chuck, Monday, 12 May 2003 16:09 (twenty years ago) link
And Chuck, I don't know why you decided that because I don't like certain honky voices (Rob "Gangsta Barker" Aston, Justin "Urkel Soul" Timberlake) I'm incapable of finding the funk.
― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 12 May 2003 16:13 (twenty years ago) link
So Maiden as a starter band if you like? Hm...
― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 12 May 2003 16:43 (twenty years ago) link
You've obviously never listened to the first two Maiden albums (pre-Bruce). I'm not saying you'd like them, but they have fuck-all to do with mythology or operatic vox.
