I still think Seventh Son.. is anew album

"Relatable"

 

[Anthony]

Gers has become the face of Maiden to me. I'm almost certain that if he wasn't in the band I'd have gone to see them in belfast and all the other times I didn't go to see them. I'm not sure I'd be able to take my eyes off of him. In a rage.

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

I'd recommend the early stuff. Start with Bandwagonesque. Let us know what you think and if you're still with us by then I can give you more commendations.

Grand Prix is the commercial hit but it's a bit bland really. Though I still love it.

As @rettucs said, Bandwagonesque is a good start. The run of albums that they have reissued just last week are all great as well - in particular, Grand Prix is superb, Songs from Northern Britain is equally good.

The only 1 I've listened to is Bandwagonesque. I think it's great. Not sure why I never checked any of the others out.

Thanks lads, listening to Bandwagonesque now. For some reason, I had them written off as being really twee like Belle and Sebastian but two minutes in and I'm liking this.

They were fairly rockin' in the early days.

Their twee side come later. I love it.

i'm still smarting over eric claridge's clandestine departure from the sea and cake.

Not to derail the thread but I was sure I'd read that Janick Gers was leaving Iron Maiden after the current(just ended) tour. I even looked it up this morning to check. Turned out I just dreamed it.

White Spirit reunion?

 

[rettucs]

always loved this song. It was a sneaky extra track on that best-of they had out in 2002

Devastating. You have my sympathies. I'm listening to it now, out of solidarity. As Dip of these parts said to me about 2 years ago "You still think 1990 is ten years ago" ...........

 

[Anthony]

I never understood why people love Seventh Son so much. "living on a razor's edge, balancing on a ledge" in retrospect, I think that was my exit point.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

I go as far as Piece of Mind,and then the odd song.

 

[Anthony]

Yea, I watched the history of Iron Maiden doco on YT recently. As soon as Niko appeared I turned it off. It wasn't even a conscious decision.

 

[therealjohnny]

Stop shitting on Iron Maiden in there!

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

I could live with the first two only. Definitely the best Maiden records.

It's not surprising that I've never been arsed to go see them.

This prompted me to listen to their new album, it's really good!
