Chemical Wedding by Bruce is awesome!! Once again though....Halford's Resurrection is better IMO.

First of all, let me say this....Judas Priest is the greatest Metal band of all time. That said, I do like Maiden too.
Priest just has better albums, more classic albums than Maiden. Halford is better than Dickinson, Tipton and Downing are equal or better than Smith and Murray. The drumming in Maiden was better than Priest, that is until Scott Travis arrived to Priest.
Maiden has also benefited from the greatest mascot of all time...the incomparable Eddie on all the album covers. Musically I say Priest is better...and they were before Maiden and influenced them as well. I will pick a Maiden video though.....

Well said musicmanstu. I also think the Priest is great. I put them right behind maiden and Sabbath as far as metal bands go. Personally, I feel the lyrics of IM & BS are better tha JP. But ya, musically and vocals wise, Judas Priest are as good as it gets.

One of the best kept secrets about the members of Iron Maiden is the fact that some of Bruce Dickinson's solo albums are as good or even better than some of Iron Maiden's 🤐

Does anybody else like Bruce's solo work ❓

His first one is not his best, but it has a few good songs on it.

(1990)

From here on Bruce does keeps outdoing himself 😁

Published: January 17, 2012

EMI are proud to announce the release of a new live IRON MAIDEN Blu-Ray, 2DVD Set and Double Soundtrack Album on Monday March 26th (March 27th Canada and USA (via UMe)).

"EN VIVO!" was filmed on 10th April 2011 in front of over 50,000 ecstatic fans at the Estadio Nacional, Santiago during the Round The World In 66 Days leg of The Final Frontier World Tour, and captures a magnificent performance by the band, ardently embraced by the legendary Latino passion and energy of their Chilean fans. With spectacular stage backdrops, dynamic musicianship and a literally jaw-dropping appearance by Eddie, this live show encapsulates to perfection the heart and soul of Iron Maiden 2011.

Bass player and founder member Steve Harris comments "For The Final Frontier Tour it was really important to me that we filmed in South America as we're always so overwhelmed by the fans' reaction when we go to that part of the world and I wanted to reflect that in the filming. After much consideration we chose the Santiago show as we felt it was one of our best performances of the entire Tour and to play at the prestigious Estadio Nacional was a landmark moment for us. For reasons known to our fans, it took a long time before we got to play our first show in Chile, and once we did get to play a show, the response was so phenomenal we just had to keep coming back and it's got better and better each time!

This show also features the gigantic new Eddie. He wasn't due to make his appearance until our European leg of the tour later in 2011, but we managed to transport him across the sea in a special huge container just in time for the latter end of the South American dates so it was great we were able to immortalize him for the DVD as he really has to be seen to be believed!"

The concert was filmed digitally using 22 HD cameras and an octocam (a flying camera which captures aerial crowd scenes), recorded in both stereo and 5.1 audio and mixed by Maiden's longstanding producer Kevin "Caveman" Shirley, all of which serves to accentuate the incredible atmosphere of this compelling performance. Extensive use is made of split screens so fans can follow the individual members closer and the set list moves seamlessly between songs from Maiden's most recent studio album, 2010's The Final Frontier through to classic fan favourites via the band's vast and varied catalogue. (full set listing below).

DVD Disc Two is a Bonus Disc containing an 88-minute documentary, BEHIND THE BEAST. This is also an entirely in-house production by Maiden's own Krew, led by Andy Matthews, and is intended as an interesting and revealing high quality "home movie" for their fans of how to put on an Iron Maiden tour and what goes on behind the scenes at a show. It describes the extraordinary story of one of the most acclaimed and ambitious touring shows in the world. It illustrates the day to day life and complex tasks of the Maiden Killer Krew and the other characters behind the scenes. The expertise and experience, the problem-solving and successes, the sheer scale and immense difficulties of the undertaking comes to life through the day to day coverage of the tour and the background work of the crews in sound, lighting, carpentry, production and set design. As well as interviews with the Iron Maiden crew, it interweaves anecdotes from the band and their fans, and includes footage of the live show in this comprehensive guide to the intricacies of staging massive, live Stadium shows around the World out of the belly of a Boeing 757. The bonus disc also contains an extended version of the promo video "Satellite 15...The Final Frontier", a video about the making of "Satellite 15...The Final Frontier" plus the opening video sequence to The Final Frontier World Tour.

In addition to the Blu-Ray, the 2DVD will initially be available as a Limited Edition double DVD in Collectors Steel book case and Double Vinyl Picture Disc. As well as a traditional 2CD Soundtrack album, EN VIVO! will also be available as a Digital Download, CD soundtrack album and Digital Download Video.

Maiden's "Final Frontier World Tour 2010-11" saw the band circumnavigating the planet for the third time in their customized Boeing 757, Ed Force One, piloted by lead singer Bruce Dickinson, and playing 98 shows in 36 countries to over 2 million fans.

GARY if i were to listen to 1 90's Iron Maiden album (and I mean One) which would it be? (from what I hear the 90's weren't good for them but who knows).

Yes the 90's were a little rough for Maiden 🙁

But they have been great again since 2000 😁

I would say that you should give Fear Of The Dark a go.

So, did you like Fear Of The Dark Jhereko 🤔

This is one of my favorite Iron Maiden songs/videos and some may find it a bit surprising 2 know that it was written by ADRIAN SMITH (guitar) 😎

Stranger In a Strange Land (Nicko McBrain on drums and Bruce Dickinson vocals)

Link

Was many years ago that I left home and came this way
I was a young man, full of hopes and dreams
But now it seems to me that all is lost and nothing gained
Sometimes things ain't what they seem

No brave new world, no brave new world
No brave new world, no brave new world

Night and day I scan horizon, sea and sky
My spirit wanders endlessly
Until the day will dawn and friends from home discover why
Hear me calling, rescue me

Set me free, set me free
Lost in this place and leave no trace

Stranger in a strange land
Land of ice and snow
Trapped inside this prison
Lost and far from home

One hundred years have gone and men again they came that way
To find the answer to the mystery
They found his body lying where it fell on that day
Preserved in time for all to see

No brave new world, no brave new world
Lost in this place and leave no trace

What became of the man that started
All are gone and their souls departed
Left me here in this place
So all alone

Stranger in a strange land
Land of ice and snow
Trapped inside this prison
Lost and far from home

What became of the man that started
All are gone and their souls departed
Left me here in this place
So all alone

Stranger in a strange land
Land of ice and snow
Trapped inside this prison
Lost and far from home

Getting Beast, Powerslave, and Mind as result of this thread. I;ve always stayed away from Maiden and Kind of though of them like Kiss. Really only hear Run to the Hills. Hoping for a gold mine of awesome metal here.

I'd also recommend 7th Son of a 7th Son and my favourite IM album: Somewhere In Time - both awesome albums!!
