Get Powerslave... If you don't like it, no problem... At least try the title track... 


says the man with exploding head... that wink makes me nervous, am i gonna download this track to find that it is one of their least serious pieces of all?


Depends of what you consider as being serious... If to you a serious thing is Rick Wakeman dressed as a princess and Bill Bruford shaking his ass, you'll get disapointed... Sorry...
And above all, is punk

speaking of iron maiden, dream theater did a cover of the whole number of the beast album, they have also done concerts with bruce dick-in-son i think. I think you can buy this on the official DT website as an official bootleg

official bootleg, now there's an oxymoron!

You can see them talking about this on the tour diary of the live at budokan DVD They have also covered the whole of Master of Puppets by Metallica too but its shoddy quality.

Actually according to Jordan Rudess and Mike Portnoy, Dream Theater is a Heavy Metal band that is heavily influenced by Progressive Rock bands like Pink Floyd, Yes, Rush and Genesis.

Iron maiden on a prog site...They are quite oviously not prog.

If the Beatles threads get moved so should maiden

Not a 100% prog' band you're right, but they had a very interesting approach to Prog'.

Have you ever listened Rime of the Ancient Mariner? It has more changes and complex atmospheres than many songs from prog' icons, the same goes for 7th Son and a couple more tracks.

BTW, we don't have o talk only about prog' bands and I'm not asking to include them into the Archives, but Iron Maiden was a great band despite the genre.

I see no problem, there has been threads about Dylan, Bowie, ELO and even Mariah Carey

Iván

There not even 1% prog im sorry to say...I'm not desputing Iron maiden was'nt a great band in the eyes of all teenagers

& there is no problem about talk regarding the band but on a heavy metal site please..

The treads about the other artist you have stated have been removed to the bowels of the other channel & so should this band too

Have to agree with Reed Lover (After a year it was about time), Iron Maiden is IMO closer to prog' than Dream Theater, but with the difference that I can listen hours of Iron Maiden and only minutes of DT before getting sleepy.

They managed to create prog' tracks without keyboards, that's outstanding.

So you would give Rush some credit?

Iron Maiden are definitely a bit Progressive, but not close to as Progressive as Dream Theater are.

The list is obviously made by a metal head (Not offensive term, I have a lot of respect for REAL metal), Fantomas let the most prog' oriented tracks aside.

  1. The Rime of the Ancient Mariner: One of the most and better progressive tracks by a non prog' band, simply outstanding.
  2. 7th Son of a 7th Son: Idem N° 1
  3. Phantom of the Opera: Simpler than 1 and 2 but in the same vein.
  4. Hallowed Be Thy Name: Powerfull and atmospheric
  5. The Trooper: Excellent 2nd guitar.

1, 2 and 3 are very seriously crafted tracks, even 4, but The Trooper is pure power.

Iván

they dont suite the qualities of a typical metal band cos most metal bands have gruff vocals and no keyboardists although they have got the hair, lyrics, riffs and image going on.

Still one of the best bands you shall ever find, much better than that iron maiden bollox. i saw the early days DVD and they played a song with the original vocalist and i thought it was immense, the live show didnt have any of that eye candy.

Most of the songs i have heard by Maiden have Bruce on vocals and his voice is so childish as are the lyrics, songs like run to the hills, the evil that men do, bring your daughter to the slaughter. I fail to see why they are a good metal band because i can never take them seriously, they just pomp around on stage with giant eddies and pyro and all that crap and the music sounds so immature.

Hah, actually I kinda like Iron Maiden but not everything they made and I don't consider Bruce a childish vocalist, because its one of the most impressive falsettos I've ever heard.

I think that's because we're beginning to see the light, and stop talking about boring, pretentious and pompous bands just like Yes...
