      I think they are out there because they have a good manager.... and they played well at the beginning. And most of those who now pay thickets were those who listened them at the beginning. Because after Seventh Son there hasn't been anything. They could possibly have innovated a bit keeping Blaze, which is a awesome songwriter (much more metal than they are now), but they kicked him right when they started to get accustomed to his voice and nature. Now it is just a business act... love me for the money. Much like the firework show before the closure at Disneyland in the evening! They do not even have Derek Riggs at the artwork anymore. Their true sound ended also when M. Birch retired. K. Shirley sound is really terrible IMO... sounds so cheap and distant.

      That's probably because they learned them without an "objective" reference point (i.e., by ear, listening to the records, most likely).

      ​@@cobrasysI had to go back and revisit a bunch of tunes a few years ago because I didn't have a computer growing up until the late 2000s/early 2010s and I was playing things half right. My go to for learning was watching live concert dvds so I was playing some bits right but because the focus isn't always on the guitar I had to fill in blanks by listening to albums. I also don't think it's a bad thing to not play things exactly the same as they were written though, if you can get some of yourself in the tune and it still sounds good like right note wrong position then it's not a big deal to me.

    Where Eagles Dare made me an instant fan of Nicko, still my favorite intro of all time. I started out trying to play guitar like Frank Bello but I kept hearing the drums, I could play rhythm okay but solos were out of the question.
    I traded my 1974 Les Paul and all the gear for my first drum lessons a couple weeks before Festivus in 1983, mostly because of Clive, Nicko and Alex Van Halen (My dad was a huge rock/metal fan and I was always borrowing his albums) but it was Slayer's Show No Mercy which released about that time too, late November or early December, Dave Lombardo's double bass made me snap and think to myself "I have to learn to do THAT!" Had my first drum kit on my 14th birthday in March 1984 and played along to Piece of Mind and Show No Mercy learning by ear too many times to count.

You can gallop along until you learn to play leads, and the Song writing is very good, Sets you up for a good life of well structured creativity.

    The drum intro on "Where eagles dare", holy crap...
    I got to see and hear Nicko do that live in front of 55 thousand people in Gothenburg, i believe it was in 05!
    Hair standing up on my arms from that memory just hearing Mike Portnoy doing it!

    Many years ago, I saw Slayer and Pantera at the Long Beach Arena.
    During their set, Tom Ayala (Slayer) goes up to the mic and goes:
    *“Scream for me Long Beach……… **_SCREAM FOR ME LONG BEACH!!!…….”_*
    And then says: *“I always wanted to do that!”*

    The first lick I learned on guitar was "Alexander the Great" intro, and Somewhere in Time remains my favourite Maiden's album until now. They made so many great albums : the bass, the harmonies between the guitars, the drums, Bruce's voice, everything is perfect with this band. They're definitely legends of Rock on a large scale !

    The same person that Introduced me to Iron Maiden, also introduced me to Rush.. I used to listen to Live after Death on repeat hehe. We even listened to Iron Maiden "Rime of The Ancient Mariner" in Senior English, and had to learn the passages that were from the original poem. I sang along (quietly of course) Drums and a little air guitar. My Teacher asked me to bring in tape, but my Friend Jennifer brought it since it was one of hers that I borrowed.

    I still remember in elementary school in the early 80s seeing a kid wearing this shit that had this wild looking undead dude with long hair on it. Then a few years later in 7th grade, another kid let me listen to my first metal song ever, Flight of Icarus. I was INSTANTLY hooked. The next 10 years was a sublime journey through what, in my opinion, were the golden years of metal music.

    Iron Maiden's impact on Metal is literally incalculable. The most important band to the genre since Sabbath and still tied with them today on what they laid down for future generations to come and draw the water from.

    I caught a Clive Burr drumstick when I saw them live for the first time in 1982 in the front row standing on seat with my chest against the barricade. I swear to God, he looked right at me and we had this momentary connection like he was saying to me, "it's coming your way get ready". And he tossed my way and I caught the damn thing and immediately stuck it in my waist belt so nobody could get it from me. My friend who was next to me was trying to get Dave Murray's guitar picks which he got 2 of them. At some point I showed him my Clive Burr drumstick and he showed the guitar picks and the thing is, we were in a band, he was a drummer and I played guitar and he begged me to trade him, but I wasn't going to do that. We're still friends and he still jokingly brings that up lol.
