eldorado is just terrible, new cover too...

that song has no power and it's so boring, I think i won't buy they new release.

This is where Maiden fans in Britain differ a little from other fans around the world.
Regardless if the cd is good or bad and I can't tell by listening to one track, I will buy it along with 1000s of other Maiden fans in the UK.

I think the track is amazing...
Its lovely and heavy gets the thumbs up from me!
And I can't thank them enough for giving us the song for free!

Gary Graff of Billboard.com recently spoke to IRON MAIDEN guitarist Dave Murray about "The Final Frontier", the band's forthcoming 15th studio LP which will be released in North America on August 17 (one day earlier internationally) via Universal Music Enterprises (UMe).
"We breezed through the album, really," Murray tells Billboard.com. "We actually finished it in six weeks. We were getting down a track a day — all playing together as a band, Bruce (Dickinson) singing, all in the same room, so there's a very live-in-the-studio feel to it. Once we finished a track we'd jump straight into doing some extra guitar bits. It was very quick for us."
Murray says the 10-track set mixes "straight-ahead, uptempo rock songs with good grooves with some other tracks that are kind of longer and more complex." The album closer, "When the Wild Wind Blows", is an 11-minute track that's one of the longest songs IRON MAIDEN has ever recorded. "The rhythm's a little bit different from what we've done before, and there's lots of melodies," Murray says. "It's a big song. We learned it in sections just because it was such a complex arrangement, but it sounds quite natural (on the record)."

I just saw this show in Auburn Washington at the White River ampatheater what a killer show! Hard to believe Bruce has such a voice live! Good stuff man! And like always the guitar work was tops!

What do you think?
Maiden back to there best?

[olivious the drummer]

Great Video......song is OK, certainly better than some of their recent material but I have to be honest and say the maiden sound is now just a bit too polished and is lacking some of the grunt of old.........dunno what they are like live these days though.

Still a class act!

ZAKK WYLDE On Egg-Throwing OZZFEST Incident: 'If I Was IRON MAIDEN, I'd F**k Some People Up'

Charlie Steffens of KNAC.COM recently conducted an interview with Zakk Wylde (BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, OZZY OSBOURNE). An excerpt from the chat follows below.

KNAC.COM: There's something that's been hanging out there a while that's caused a lot of people to take sides, when the truth is, we're supposed to be all on the same team. Some of it has been fueled by other parties directly involved in the 2005 Ozzfest IRON MAIDEN egg-throwing thing. I'm not interested in your opinion of the characters involved, but I'd love to know if you have something you want the heavy music fans out there to know, now that five years of water has passed under the bridge.

Wylde: Well, the whole thing is ridiculous. What it should have been down to is Mom [Ozzy's wife/manager Sharon Osbourne] should've just talked with their manager and just said, "Hey, look it. Tell your guy to shut the fuck up. And if he mentions one more thing, you guys are off the tour." That's it. You're done. And if their manager, Rod [Smallwood], went over to them — because they're all fucking grown-ups — and said, "Dude, enough of the fucking bagging on The Boss [Ozzy]. First off, it's their fucking tour." And that's the end of the conversation. The minute he goes back there and says, "Oh, fuck this. We don't need a reality TV show, fuck Ozzy, this and that, bla bla bla..." then you know what? Pull the power on them right there. Have a guy sitting on the side of the stage every fucking night and the minute he says one bad thing about Ozzy, break his fucking legs and you're off and you're on your way. That's it. Done.

KNAC.COM: So that's what was really going on?

Wylde: It should have never got to eggs. If anyone ever threw eggs at me, I'd break their fucking legs, dude. I'd stop the show right there and whoever was throwing the fucking eggs — I'd fuckin' morgue them. I wouldn't hospitalize them. I'd fuckin' kill them, right there. I'm looking at both sides. If I was IRON MAIDEN, I'd fuck some people up. And, if I find out who's responsible for it, they're getting fucked up, too. I mean, I'd never go up onstage and start bagging on whoever the headliner is. If anything, all I ever do is thank the band for letting us play with them. When I opened up for TED NUGENT and LYNYRD SKYNYRD, I thought, this is such an honor to be playing with these guys. Why would I say anything bad about them? You know what I mean? And on top of that, you're getting paid. It's so fuckin' ridiculous. It's a fuckin' joke. I had no idea. I was just like, "Whatever, man." I'm telling you right now — the way I would have handled it would be, "Hey, guy. You tell your singer to shut the fuck up or hands down, I'll break his fuckin' neck. I'll break his legs first, then I'll break his fuckin' neck. Then you'll have no singer. So he can't say shit. Throw eggs? I'll slit his fuckin' throat, dude. I'd say, "fuck you!" Fuckin' throw eggs? Are you fuckin' kidding me? What, are we in second grade here? Come on. Throw eggs? Throw fuckin' grenades, now. You motherfucker. That whole thing should have just never happened. It should've been, "Tell him to shut up or the guy's off tour." That's it. Then his manager would have said, "Dude, enough of the talking, slagging the headlining act." I mean, how old are we here, dude? How old is Bruce Dickinson? You'd expect that out of an 18-year old, like the Battle of the Bands in high school? What do you think about it?

KNAC.COM: I was there all day and all that night in San Bernardino, really liking the whole thing, up to the point of the egging. And I continued to dig the show afterward. When BLACK SABBATH went on and did their set, they were totally professional, of course. Ozzy didn't say shit...

Wylde: I guarantee you that Ozzy didn't even know that that went down. I'm telling you. I know he didn't.

So what do you think of the new cd....
Only had a few listens but love this song.

Thanks HM,

I didn't know more of the album had been put out there. I haven't paid much attention to them since Bruce left and came back. But this release has my attention. I loved them in the 1980s. Always stood strong in their own right.

I think the album is one of those 'growers'. I have listened to it on the internet and I am not sure about it.......must be my age as I used to love Maiden but I think they are a bit of a parody these days.......I have just purchased the somewhere in time compilation and the classic Maiden is awsome - I've not been overly fussed on anything since fear of the dark........

"The Final Frontier", the band's 15th studio album, has sold more than 22,000 copies, while "Recovery" has sold around 7,000 this week in the U.K., according to Official Charts Company midweek figures.



Who would have thought Metal beating Rap in the charts

[olivious the drummer]
