    Not really a fan of the song. let's hope it's one of the weaker tracks on the album. Or maybe it will grow on me. Hopefully it will.

    As for the artwork? If it's not Derek Riggs, it's never going to a classic.

    Talkin of Riggs, whats everyone's fav Riggs artwork?

    One of mine is Aces High, Eddie just looks so menacing

    Gotta be either 'Killers' or Somewhere in Time' for me. I love all the background stuff on SIT

    I quite like the artwork, it's certainly better than a matter of life and death and dance of death (the latter having pretty awful artwork, despite an otherwise very good album). It's more like classic maiden covers.

    I wasn't sure of the song at first but it's definitly growing on me

    My favourite artwork is definitely Powerslave.

    That tune is pretty good. Took a few listens to get into it but it bodes well for the new album.

    Nothing from Powerslave?

    Or Piece of mind?

    I thought they'd surely play some tracks off them at every gig. :confused:

    Didn't they say before the Somewhere Back in Time Tour that they'd be using that tour to play some of the older tracks for the last time and put them to bed for a while?

    Yeah, this tour will mostly consist of newer stuff and songs that were made when Bruce rejoined.

    Anybody ever see this video? Feckin hilarious, from a German TV show (like Top of the Pops) in 1986.
    Story is the band we getting extremely pissed off with TV shows and how they were treated, so they decided to have some fun (Apart from Adrian who thought that it would hurt the band's reputation!!)

    Ahh yes, it was some music show that refused to let the band play live, so Maiden refused to play along with miming the song.

    The Maiden lads got the tour of Johnson Space Center in Texas the other day. They're big fans of the Space programme.

    http://www.ironmaiden.com/index.php?categoryid=8&p2_articleid=1219

    This gives me the opportunity to post this video which combines 2 of my loves,Spaceflight and Heavy Metal. These guys put together mission highlight videos which are set to music,this one is from STS-125 in May '09 on the final repair mission of the Hubble Telescope.

    And I'm bored with Run to the Hills, Fear of the Dark,...
    If you want to hear their old stuff you should have gone to the Somewhere Back In Time Tour.

    This is in support of the new album and it's a different setlist from what they've been doing for the last years.

    And there's still tons of great songs there.

    i would have gone but the scaldy c**ts wouldnt come here on the tour ,and im not made of money.i know its supporting the new album but they should have a lot of classics in there and less new stuff one of the last times i went to see them they played the whole of their new album i fel asleep .

    most bands will play maybe 3 new tunes and whip out mostly classics.

    Flight 666 on blu ray is now 11.99 at play.com, half the price I paid less than a fortnight ago. Well worth the money.

    I tried re-listening to A Matter Of Life And Death there tonight... Can't shake the feeling that it was way too pedestrian and trying too hard to be a prog album more than it had to be...

    Still, some good moments on it, but nowhere near what they are capable of, IMO.

    Thank you! i've been trying to get this for so long but anywhere i've checked it's always cost around double this or more. Total bargain imo, it's the same price as the dvd on play!

    New Maiden video on their website. Like 'El Dorado' I wasn't too impressed on the first listen but that's grown on me a bit (although I still don't think it's as good as any of the other 2nd Bruce era stuff) so maybe this will too.

    The video itself is a bit crap I think and the special effects noises from it sometimes take over the video and drown out the music.

    I'm apprehensive about this album now

    The video and the volume of the effects are very distracting when trying to listen to the song.


    Upon first listen it actually sounds a bit like Bruce did vocally for the Skunkworks album and that tour.
