[@ArturdeSousaRocha]

My gateway album to heavy metal. I was a synth nut at the time and this was also the first album with guitar synthesizers I ever heard, which was part of the excitement.

[@Thedesertguy75]

Somewhere in time has always been one of my favorites. Its transcendent in its sound and feel. Alexander the Great is genius.

[@beenaplumber8379]

Alexander the Great was a genius, ok, but the song was just some story about some dead dude, and they played music while they told the story, trying to make it sound metal. It wasn't metal. And it dragged on! I think Steve was trying to recreate Rime of the Ancient Mariner. I thought it was a massive and painful fail.

[@brianh2787]

Get into them. You won’t regret it.

[@Jaake-my2rq]

I was sort of the same way. But I came to learn two things you can always count on with Iron Maiden: 1) Iron Maiden will never give less than everything they've got. Steve Harris hasn't forgotten all of the work it took to create such a large and dedicated fan base, and he's equally dedicated to it and very protective of it. It translates into every aspect of the band. I didn't get to see them until the 7th Son tour and I went into the show knowing maybe three of their songs because my best friend had a cassette of "Live After Death" that he would play now and again and you know what? It didn't matter one lick because the production was so full-on and precisely executed that your eyes didn't have time to rest or get bored. Aside from Maiden, I know of only one other performer who could pull off that trick at any show, anywhere in the world, and he's gone now; his ashes in an urn at his studio and his world famous "Cloud" guitar on display at the Smithsonian. I like to think that he and Eddie Van Halen ( whose guitar is on display there as well ) like to get together after hours and "cut heads" once in a while. 🤟😊 2) Iron Maiden will never insult your intelligence. Though they used to get the "Spinal Tap" comparison once in a while back when they really started ramping up the live show, the fact of the matter is that Maiden gave Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer the inspiration to pick up their guitars, write the music for the movie, and go for it full-tilt with no apologies. Would you care to guess what the most successful comedic outing of those three guys combined careers just so happens to be? Damn straight. No, Bruce and Steve write good lyrics and are capable of telling a compelling story. UP THE IRONS!!!

[@kristenburnett7352]

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son - Can I Play With Madness. Always loved Iron Maiden but that album was my favorite. Saw them three times in Atlanta and have such good memories.

As far as music goes I believe Iron Maiden is the closest to actually getting to a higher point of existence. Every night, every tour for decades has kept the same amazing feel. Now in 2019 they are better than ever. Truly an amazing inspiring bunch of human beings. All with basically zero promotion. This is what humans can do all by themselves. I was an original fan club member from the eighties and they're still just as exciting to me. They've always been in contact with their fans way way before the internet made that easy. Never sell out. Every other huge band has and you can go see them today and they all can barely play and charge 2 Grand a ticket it's really a shame. Every human should see Iron Maiden at least once it'll change your whole idea of what's possible.

A year later Adrian was kinda forced to leave. Also Bruce is still bashing a magnificent album (Somewhere in Time). Maybe because his ideas weren't accepted? This is just so sad IMO.

[@KeremcanBuyuktaskin]

I was listening to pop music during the 80s. One day, I watched The Clairvoyant Donington performance on TV, which can be seen at 28:56, and I was simply mesmerized. The next day, I bought the 7th Son album on cassette tape and it changed my life forever. Especially listening to the title track was magical, I never knew complex, epic music like that existed. Afterwards I became a metalhead, but at one point I also got into prog rock bands like Jethro Tull, Genesis, King Crimson etc. And after reading interviews of Steve Harris, I learned that he is a hardcore fan of those prog bands as well. So I think I owe all this amazing musical journey to Maiden, I'm pretty sure 7th Son opened the doors of prog rock/metal for me.

I wanted to see them since I was a kid and finally did several years ago here where I live in Washington at the Tacoma dome on the book of souls world tour, it was a dream come true for me, I remember getting paid, went straight to ticket Master right after work and immediately bought a ticket, I didn't care if I could afford it or not, I knew if I didn't see them soon I'd never get a chance once they stop touring and I'd regret it for the rest of my life.

No band does it the maiden way, for sure iron maiden is unique, everything they do is top class, the quality of this production is flawless so are the part 1 and 2. Can't wat for the next chapter, I consider the 90's maiden way more interesting than 80's maiden, all they went thru: lineup changes, being relevant even thou the music in that period of time were going thru big changes and metal was down under in people's taste... What I mean is that the 90's got all the ingredients to produce an outstanding film production and probably the best of the series.

7th Son is my favorite album. Dont get me wrong I like others for sure just that particular entire album just resonated with me

[@James-qq2vq]

Maidens first 8 albums which also includes LAD is the greatest stretch of music and will never be duplicated. They were on a role and thats why they are my favorite group of all time. Up the Irons \,.,./

Jason Corlis Maiden Japan was an EP, not an album.

@@leehubbard5580 Never Heard Fear of the Dark, X Factor, BNW or TBOS? There release after the classics many good Albums or songs

[@EddieOrfield-y1i]

I loved the Live After Death double album. It changed my young mind. I also love Seventh Son. It’s so difficult to pull off a concept album and they nailed it. It’s so big and serious and silly and wonderful. I love it.

[@SERCHSOS3722]

Best two Maiden albums ever!

[@jakedeane5304]

Sergio Soriano fan favourites for sure, they just had such good atmospheres!!!

[@PerfectMask1]

They are both brilliant. Maiden used to be able to produce interesting and atmospheric epic songs, unlike nowadays unfortunately.

[@jakedeane5304]

cut them some slack dude, and book of souls was a great album

[@PerfectMask1]

I just think they're a bit dull these days. Long plodding songs to fall asleep to.

[@jakedeane5304]

well good point, the guitars and bruce's vocals aren't as powerful as they were in the 80's, but it's great they are still making music

I saw these guys in a very small hole-in-the-wall club in Harrisburg, PA, in 1994 or 95, I forget which year. Fear Factory opened for them, man that was a great show. Never saw lead singer stand on the speaker the whole time like that! Not just a foot, but he was standing on it singing, it was epic!!

Dave Murray: "I don't know what were we thinking? Hahaha. That was the era, the period where basically... it was big loud costumes... and loud productions... loud band. Everything was really loud about everything. You had to wear sunglasses quite a lot, because it was just sheer volume.... actually it was a lot of volume coming from just the clothing!!" Hahaahaa

His laugh after he's done talking is the best. 😂

[@frankhendricks6631]

Will always be a fan ! Still playing the bass. Thank you Steve for the inspiration.

Iron Maiden, one of the best things ever to come out of Britain along with Benny Hill and Monty Python.

[@tomwalker8332]

And Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath and The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and Queen etc.. etc..

[@edwardhernandez8079]

Its nice on occasion to view a doco thats not all depressing and riddled with near-death experiences. Shit, Iron Maiden actually encourages me to be productive, even if it is too late. Goes without saying but!!!!!!!!

[@LoneStarGemini]

NEVER TO LATE!!! 🤘🏼

[@javierk2143]

Somehow I think there's a conceptual and spiritual connection between Powerslave, Live After Death and Somewhere In Time. I normally tend to listen to them together
