thesweetscience Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Never got into Maiden all that much. I like some of their stuff though. Mindcrime is a masterpiece. Edited June 19, 2017 by thesweetscience 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Great topic. It´s hard for me to vote against Maiden unless you include the Blaze albums. But did you guys know that even Bruce was aprehensive when they were recording SSOASS and Mindcrime came out? He thought that fans would think they were copying QR, just because both albums were concept ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurkst Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Anyway I voted for Queensryche, it's a better concept, more interesting musically and features a band at the peak of their powers (plus it was recorded at Le Studio with Peter Collins ;) ). Maiden were definitely past their peak by 1988, although SS does contain two of their best singles in Can I Play With Madness and Evil That Men Do.

I guess they knew about it before it was released. Mindcrime started to be recorded in 1987, and both Maiden and Queensryche were EMI artists at the time.
