Iron Maiden - Hell On Earth / Melbourne 2024 Night 1

[@danw4490]

As a Maiden fan of 35 years, I think this is one of their best tracks. This performance is spectacular.

[@JimmyGrant74]

C'mon its the same old shite. It's almost an almagation of two songs on the previous album. Same key, same chord structure, very similiar melodies, blah blah. I am also a lifelong fan but i wish to god they'd trying something different.

Nice melodies indeed, but personally I'm not a fan of the guitar and vocals doing the same melody simultanously along with each other. It's too much and sounds kind of cheezy, not necessary for the song. They started doing that thing alot since The Book Of Souls record. What's your opinion on this?

[@off1k]

@@faaip For me it's The Parchment very closely followed by Senjutsu, Stratego, Writing on the Wall and Hell on Earth in no particular order. I rate The Time Machine as easily the weakest on the album for me. As an Iron Maiden album it probably sits just outside my top 5 from them.

[@MetalTraveller]

Woah! Senjutsu is to me the weakest album of their career with no hesitation, and I find The Parchment is the most boring song on earth.

[@djpoiison6588]

Maybe “Brave New World “ is the last Iron Maiden album I really like , from then to now they recorded irrelevant and boring albums, probably they lost inspiration, they don’t need to make too freaking long songs , I wish they come back to Heavy Metal like they used to be in the 80s

[@ippopaidi]

don't get your hopes up for any further recovery ... what came back the first 3 months, after the stroke is what'll ever do.. It's all downhill from here due to age ... Can't even hear most of his right hand side crashes ... He can't even do a drum roll or the (already simple) Maiden fills ... He should have made the right decision and retired gracefully, not wait and see if the band would have him... They love him too much and I'm sure they wouldn't tell him to leave ... Which would be the right thing to do.. now they'll only play what Nicko still (somewhat) can ... (Depriving fans from possibly hearing fast paced favorites)

​@@ippopaidi You're being a little bit hard on Nikko. God willing, he'll return 100%. He's a fighter for sure and he said he was back to like 80% I believe. He said there was one song he could no longer play. Godspeed Nikki

I love Nikco and will always support him he's keeping tempo and beat and honestly thats all that really matters for drummers, yeah u can be flashy and have amazing fills (ofc he has had that thats why he my fav and he's just someone to look up to anyway, loved him from a young age) but just praying he gets better even if not it will still be epic asf to see him and the rest of the guys playing live being in there 60s and 70s!!

Respect outwins performance for me sometimes. I get people pay their money and want to hear him drum well. Realistically he isn't going to be anywhere near what he was at his age. I mean I'm 34 and couldn't even do half that or last for 3 songs. He's a legend & love him for that

Ever since Janick Gers joined, there have to have been like 20 or 30 songs that sound like this. This is NOT (at all) what Maiden used to be. I wish that when Adrian Smith returned, they thanked Janick and sent him on his way. He's the sloppiest by far of the 3 guitarists. Speaking of which... you don't even NEED 3 guitars. It buries Steve Harris' bass in the mix. They give Adrian (who is their best guitarist)'s solos to Janick live - and he butchers the shit out of them. God... I cannot STAND him being in this band. It's just not the same. Getting back to the tempo and feel of this song... It bores me to tears.

Maiden were awesome. Probably the best sound mix I've ever heard at a live gig, it was incredible and an amazing performance. The crowd was lame as though. Not the real fans who pushed to the front and went for it, they owned it. But I was at the back of the floor, and just loving it and taking it in and observing, and I reckon 80% of the crowd had no clue, they knew none of the words, no clue when to chant or sing along, it seemed like they didn't even know any of the songs. Weird as. I reckon most of the people were just ticking the box, or clueless. (I get that there were people in seats up higher with kids and stuff just chilling), but the floor? There was at least 20 scumbag losers just lying on the floor around the bar area, whinging about random shite, and people pushing through the crowd like they were getting a train, going in and out, like they had no idea that probably the greatest band ever, in the history of music, were actually playing, right there, it was so weird. I saw them on the Fear of The Dark tour at shitty Festival Hall in '92 (deep in a recession when $ was tight), and I swear everyone in that building sang every word, to every song, and was glued to their performance for every second, because they knew how cool it was. Maiden were awesome and I had a great time, but as the tour goes on and people see footage from North and especially South America, it may become apparent that Melbourne and possibly Australia as a whole, is an irrelevant self-entitled shi..hole. But Maiden were astounding and their show was cool as, I'm truly honoured to have seen it 😊

People tend to leave you alone when you rock out like a mad man and give you your room! This song is a highlight for me though, and I have a newfound respect for Death of the Celts after admiring the musicianship that went on.
