Fucking Hostile
It is time for instalment number two in this series, this time focusing on one of the biggest bands of all time, Iron Maiden.
Iron Maiden first came to prominence in 1980 as one of the leaders of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) along side the likes of Judas Priest and Saxon amongst others. Since the release of their eponymous debut album in 1980 they have released 15 albums. During all this Iron Maiden have toured all over the world and continue to do so. Through out their careers the line up has stayed more or less the same, although there have been three different singers in Paul Di'anno, Bruce Dickinson and Blaze Bayley.
For me, the quality of albums post Fear Of The Dark has dropped quite a lot although I thought Brave New World and The Final Frontier were both pretty decent. It is hard not to criticise the Blaze Bayley stuff though, that was pretty shit to be honest, no one could ever fill Bruce's boots and Blaze didn't even come close to do so.
With all of this said what, if any, criticisms do you have of this amazing band? If you happen to have none, please explain why.
