maximo Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hello, I have just recently discovered how great this band is. I knew they were good but wow. I knew the forum has a few big fans. Which brings me to my question. I want to buy a Cd and i dont know where to start or any songs i should download or whatever. So any advice would be very helpful. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevdo242 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I love Iron Maiden. The albums I have are Number Of The Beast and Dance Of Death. Both of them are pretty good, but maybe someone who is a bigger fan can suggest a better album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Third Man Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 (edited) First of all, don't buy into the Maiden is boring rubbish. It's kinda like AC/DC, there ain't all that much range in their music but they're phenomenal at what they do.Download the songs:The Phantom of the OperaHallowed Be Thy NameSign Of The CrossThose are the 3 more epic songs from each of their 3 vocalists. See which one of these you prefer then go from there. If you like the Phantom most then buy 'Iron Maiden'. If you like Hallowed Be Thy Name buy 'The Number of the Beast', 'Piece of Mind' or 'Powerslave'. Or if you like Sign of the Cross then buy either 'X-Factor' or 'Virtual XI'.I guess that could be as good a start as any.I reccomend Powerslave personally. It's got 'Aces High', '2 Minutes To Midnight', 'Powerslave' and 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner' on it, which are all considered Maiden classics.

JONEZY Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Peice of Mind is a great album. Flight of Icarus is my favorite Maiden song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moop Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Number of the Beast is definetly the best for newbies. Powerslave is a great album but is more for people that are already into IM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnezz Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I say dive right into the deep end and buy the Iron Maiden Rock in Rio III DVD when they headlined it.Phernominal performance, Maiden stole the festival, defantly one of the best live bands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Flower Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I like them, but they just seem to be lacking something. Maybe it's the corny songwriting?... I don't know, I just don't listen to them a great deal.Great band though. Each member is right at the top of their respective field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody even noticed GNR was there...Seriously though Maximo. If you wanna hold off for like 2 weeks, their new live DVD is coming out from the Dance Of Death tour and that should be insane too, it's got a documentary on the making of the album and some behind the scenes tour stuff... Should be amazing. Get that one! Edited January 23, 2006 by moreblack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagocoma13 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Any of the first five albums---Killers and Piece of Mind are my personal favorites. Phantom of the Opera, Rime of the Ancient Mariner and 22 Acacia Avenue are favorite songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddergascar Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 No, trust me, Seventh Son of A Seventh Son. My favourite metal album ever, even if only for The Evil That Men Do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both have a few great songs, like Fear of the Dark and Tailgunner, but they sure as hell don't stand up to the other Maiden albums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
