ABOUT IRON MAIDEN:
Iron Maiden are an institution. Over the course of six decades they have come to embody a spirit of fearless creative independence, ferocious dedication to their fans, and a cheerful indifference to their critics that’s won them a following that spans every culture, generation, and time-zone. A story of gritty determination and courageous defiance of the naysayers, theirs has been an adventure like no other.
The band’s immense discography includes the studio albums ‘The Number Of The Beast’, ‘Piece Of Mind’, ‘Powerslave, ‘Somewhere In Time’, ‘Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son’, ‘Fear Of The Dark’, ‘The Final Frontier’ and ‘The Book Of Souls’ which have spawned many classic hits as ‘The Trooper’, ‘Wasted Years’, ‘Hallowed Be Thy Name’, ‘Wasting Love’, ‘Run To The Hills’, ‘Aces High’, ‘Rime Of The Ancient Mariner’ and ‘2 Minutes to Midnight’.

[@MechaTengu21]

No prayer for the dying was my first CD ever! My dad brought it to me just because I liked the cover art, I was like, 5 or 7. As soon as the album started playing I was stonned, my mouth was all open. My brothers said "wow what a shitty music haha" and I didn't care. I listenned to it with full attention till the end. That was the first time I listened to metal music, today I'm a metalhead, I watched more than 1 Iron Maiden show, some of my most precious friends I just got to met because of this passion. Lots o' good memories, and it all started because of that music and that album. Up the irons!

[@lorenzomidabatacchi5342]

Nice

[@LionMetalMusic-videochannel]

nice !!!!!! its my way to know Metal too, but with "Number of the Beast" hhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@felphero]

The Number of the Beast was my very first metal and Maiden album. And believe it or not I thought it sucked ass at first and just left it there for months. One day I decided to listen to it again for no reason and it blew my fucking mind, I was like holy mother of fuck how did I not hear this before? Man as soon as Hallowed be thy name was over I was back to Invaders all over again, hahah good times

[@chrisproost7290]

I was in a rough school and being on the small side and studious (with a defensively big mouth and stinging wit to boot which probably didn't help) I got bullied like crazy. By the time I was 13, in 1990, one of the few other guys who'd looked out for me had to leave and when he did he gave me a tape with Powerslave on one side and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son on the other. I started listening to it a few nights later after a bad day and... well, I was so damned blown away that I've never looked back in the 27 years since. \m/ all the way. I can like and get on with other stuff, other genres... I guess I'm as eclectic in musical taste as I was in reading... but I forever turn again to the \m/

[@EvilForgemaster]

NPFTD was my first album as well. I had listened to other Maiden songs before though, but this album was my first serious delve into Maiden.

[@albitcapinigro1107]

One of their BEST songs.

[@brendendesimone9278]

I know a lot of Maiden fans and even some Maiden band members that thought this was a letdown after 7th Son. But I'm glad they changed direction. It's nice to take risks. And there were some good songs on this record.

[@marctommolino774]

This album is solid. Nothing groundbreaking but consistent

[@SeanFlygon]

Personally, I'd take this album any day over 7th son; so much more raw

[@darreng745]

Sadly an album that suffered from the decision to record it in Steve Harris's barn using the Rolling Stones old mobile recording van, the album would have been so much better in the studio and as for 7th son an album that was almost prog rock in some of the material and probably the nadir of the concept album for Maiden.

[@toddlesiak3837]

@@SeanFlygon So much rawer & also very inferior to Seventh Son!

[@dusitn_]

I read somewhere that this album was meant to capture the feel of their live concerts and put it into album format.

[@alessandrobernardi9258]

I don't care what you all say. No prayer will always be a brilliant gem to me. Got to know them through that album, it will always sound amazing in my heart. The raw, straight forward feel of this album will always be my favorite.

[@vinaymulukutla358]

I honestly don’t know why No Prayer For The Dying got absolutely panned by the press and fans alike. As great as their more epic and complex 80’s albums such as Powerslave (1984), Somewhere In Time (1986) and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (1988) were, it was incredible to see them return to a raw and fast street metal style on this album. Fear of the Dark is a masterpiece as well.

[@moonchild4eva1]

Yes absolutely! No prayer for the dying and Fear of the dark has lot of great songs that I love. They don't get that much credit like the previous albums which they should

[@summonersummoner9536]

Because they had a new guitar player and they also ditched out the customs and started to look like real men once again

[@SilverFang2789]

NPFTD is considered to Maidens worse album... but that says so little because it's still a badass album.

[@coreysmith556]

Agreed, great album

[@PETERODZZ]

Not for me, I Play rhythm guitar and holy smoke was my audition song. I learned it and got the job. Somewhere in time is my main album. But this album stands with me . All maiden albums are awesome. We got are stories

[@susannewilliamsson8339]

[@johnniec2861]

Say what you want dave and adrian had great chemistry but dave and janick did too. And the 3 of them together now is just damn awesome

[@moonchild4eva1]

No shit! Fantastic. I saw them first time in the brave new world tour in 2000. Queensryche opened followed by Halford (then in his own solo band), and then Iron Maiden came and finished the show

[@JoseOctavioRodriguez-zr7fb]

The composed nature of this type of songs: tailgunner... Caught somewhere in time... Holy smoke... Trooper... They speak of the line of quality and dedication of the band through different albums

[@bernabefernandeztouceda7315]

How you gon compare tailgunner with caught and the trooper?? 😂😂

[@Rednax_99]

Tailgunner and Aces High are like brothers in Maidens discography. And both are really good songs (the best off their own albums for sure)

[@SimoneCalloni]

I think Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Mother Russia beat these two songs, but they're actually very good.

[@rogeriopenna9014]

+Rednax_99 Isn´t Tailgunner like a sequel to AcesHigh? AcesHigh is about Britain defending itself from Germany's bombings. Tailgunner is about the allies taking the bombings to Germany

[@jfkshow420]

Neither of those are the best off eitger record. Not even close !!!

Tailgunner uma verdadeira metralhadora em nossos ouvidos o bruce DInckinson que foi sempre um vocalista operistico em no prayer for the dieng o Bruce canta de um jeito despojado e selvagem. Na era dave murray e adrian smith nas guitarras o som era limpo já com dave murray e janick gers as guitarras tem sonoridade totalmente suja.

[@johnadams3800]

Considering this is the first album without Adrian Smith, while at the same time taking a new (and often dismissed) era of their sound, this song absolutely shines with that section that starts 2 minutes in where they manage to fit nearly their entire discography into the next 60 seconds, between the groovy killers riffing and a Murray solo straight out of seventh son.

Some people didn't really like NPFTD, but Bruce's vocals alone can keep that album above water. I really miss these substantial songs, totally filling, great sound and great story. Upbeat, full of solos, so many recognizable 2:45 moments. One of the greatest bands in history of music.
