Iron Maiden

Fair enough...

I kind of expected this so I'll just stop here and remove the ones I posted.

I should know better by now already than post any kinds of lists.

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Really Charger?

A couple of people express surprise that one of your choices was a bit lower than expected and you choose that reaction?

Put your lists back and finish it off, you're better than that. We know you have a different perspective on Iron Maiden than the rest of us, it's what make these lists interesting.

[Zzzptm]

Your opinion is important, even if it's not one we agree 100% on.

That is the truth!

I demand Iron Maiden album rankings from Charger!

[Thelemech]

Your top 5 is very interesting Thel...very interesting indeed. Way different from mine.

I know that my top two are a bit controversial, but I have truly adored those two albums since I first heard them.

I also think that you should repost your rankings Charger, and there is no right answer here.

Don’t know what to say really so I’ll echo the sentiments above 

[Charger]

Maiden did a thing!!!

I believe this is the first time they've ever done a never played oldie live before!! And the song to chose to do it with couldn't have been much better...

[Vyn]

That's notable!

[Jack the Stripper]

Yep first time for Alexander the Great. Maiden fans have been hankering for that song to be played live more than any other. So what a treat. They did a brilliant job of it too. Caught Somewhere in Time which hadn’t been played since Somewhere on Tour tour of 86/87 was another treat for the fans.

NICKO MCBRAIN RETIRES!!!!

This one came out of the blue!

I ponder who will Maiden find to replace him as those are some damn big drum pedals to fill!

[Ted Sallis]

^^ Yes quite unexpected.  Apparently Maiden has already chosen a replacement which should be revealed soon.

Ted

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

I think he's a little older than the rest of the guys, perhaps he wants to slow down a little and enjoy his latter years.

I really good drummer, he'll be missed.

[Vyn]

I remember when Clive Burr left, and thought, "who is this jackhole McBrain? Is that even a real name?" lol Turned out he was a top-flight drummer and yeah the name is real. Wishing him the best and hoping to hear him now and again - would be cool if he did that retired rock god thing and put out random songs now that he's no longer tied to a band.

[Zzzptm]

McBrain doing the drums with Pat Travers back in 1977.

[Charger]

So they went with the guy from Steve's other band...no real surprise there. I'm pretty sure that was a done deal long ago.
