Janick had previously been working with Bruce on his solo career. After awhile Bruce Dickinson, Adrian Smith, and a new guitarist Janick Gers came back. At this time the band was at its lowest on the charts. Blaze did his own thing with the vocals, this time the songs are more creepy, mysterious, and disturbing.
Now let's take a step to the creepy and mysterious side, Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith left to do their own thing, so Iron Maiden got a new lead vocalist, a man by the name of Blaze Bayley. This Maiden was adventurous, more poetic, and probabely has the best songs in my opinion, this is when Iron Maiden became famous and had their longest tour World Slavery Tour which lasted 13 months and 193 shows.
Dickinson's era brought such classics as Number of the Beast, Run to the Hills, Hallowed be thy Name, and the Flight of Icarus (there you go Bigelover88). Then came the Bruce Dickinson era, this is what most people consider the best Maiden, and I agree. In the beginning there was Paul Di'Anno, at this point in time Iron Maiden was very new and on a distinguished road, Pauls era was the energetic, punch you in the face, fast paced, exciting Maiden. I see four different types of Iron Maiden and they all have to do with the lead vocalist. Their themes are always relevant, their musicianship is impeccable, and they have something a lot of bands lost in the 90's-they're fun!!! At the end of the day, they can craft everything from obnoxiously memorable, headbanging heavy metal tunes to some truly complex masterpieces that take several listens to enjoy. I'm no musician, but I appreciate good music, and Iron Maiden offers that in spades. They're the reason I started listening to metal five years ago, and they got me out of the dead-end that was the pop-punk of my teenage years. I'll contribute more later on, but as for the band itself, I love Iron Maiden. I'll post in the thread when I'm ready.įor the record, my favorite album is probably Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, and my favorite song is the Blaze era classic, The Clansman.
I've been listening to it thoroughly, but I still haven't heard it for long enough to give a definitive opinion. I'm making this topic primarily because their latest release, The Final Frontier, came out a couple days ago. Here's a popular example of their music, though it by no means encompasses the whole scope of what the band's written: If you're a fan, or if you're just curious about the band, this is the topic for you! Talk about your favorite albums, songs, etc. They rose to prominence in the 80's, and have continued to evolve and change their sound throughout their career. For the uninitiated, Iron Maiden is one of the most readily identifiable, influential metal bands in history.
