Binge_And_Slash Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Is that running free and Iron Maiden with Bruce?I'm guessing so.This is a pile of shit. If they want to rehash old material, at least make it Live albums. Not greatest hits, their last album was a greatest hits too (Edward The Great, which as moreblack pointed out did not have Hallowed on it)They have a new live album out in August "Death on the Road" from the Dance of Death tour (it's a CD and DVD) so that's cool.The artwork. Hey it's got Janick on it I'm not complaining! The reason for the shitty artwork, is the guy who drew all the Eddie's is like really ill, and has been for some time. That's why Dance of Death and Brave New World Eddie's are a pile of shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Ha yeah, I love Jannick Gers. He really outdid himself with that song (Dance Of Death).He really makes the grade in Bruce's Tattoed Millionaire album.I can't wait for the live CD/DVD from the Death On The Road Tour, comming later this year.

Moop Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Well, personally, I'm glad they finally have an album cover of the band. You don't know how many people I know are Iron Maiden fans and have about 5 of their albums and still don't know what the band members look like. I'm just dissapointed that they could've been more creative for the album picture.Also, I would've prefered Wildest Dreams, Montsegur or Dance of Death over Paschendale.

bucket13 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 IMO the Greatest Hits for Iron Maiden is really any Live cds. But not bad...it includes the new material. :krider: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
