Presto-digitation Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) I would say there is probably more demand in the US for Maiden simply because their tours here of late have been sparser. They rarely play the southern United States. Rush's touring of the States has always been generous and widespread, tour after tour after tour. Globally I think Maiden is a bigger band. Globally Maiden may be one of the biggest acts on the planet....even still. Edited August 29, 2015 by Presto-digitation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disembodied Spirit Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 For ALL SIRIUS FANS- For one week, Iron Maiden takes complete control of SiriusXM's Liquid Metal! Tune in to hear all the songs from their new album, The Book of Souls (out September 4), plus Maiden classics, concerts and stories from the guys themselves. Vocalist Bruce Dickinson is set to launch the channel takeover at "Two Minutes to Midnight" (11:58pm ET) tonight, August 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I think there are two groups of Maiden fans: one that thinks that their best stuff was made in 1981-1985 (classic sound) period and the second who including myself prefer SiT, SSoaSS and recent albums (more progressive sound). There are also some lunatics that think 90's albums were the best. :crazy: I'm definitely in the former group. Probably because I started listening to them in 1982! :codger:Old Maiden good. New Maiden bad. Bring back Paul Di'Anno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 My take on Maiden´s output: 1978-1988 - 100% jaw-dropping awesomeness; 1990 - 1994 - still cool, but dated and in need of a break; 1995-1999 - horrible, a pastiche of their former output; 2000-present day - nothing original, with ups and downs in each album.

Rod in Toronto Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 The beginning of the title track is classic Gers, VERY similar to The Talisman. The middle riff sounds like The Pilgrim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
