Hey guys!

Many of us love metal so I would like to know which is the best Iron Maiden song from your point of view.... just choose one and we will have the best one in some days...

Posted by: Slavenko Erazer Oct 3 2012, 07:44 PM

U can't simply choose the BEST MAIDEN SONG!! There are too many of them to pick just one...

If i have to choose that would be Stranger in a Strange land from Somewhere in Time!!

Posted by: Saddlefall Oct 3 2012, 07:45 PM

Hah, that's an impossible choice. There are so many great ones... One of my favorites have to be Alexander the Great. The middle part of it and the solo is just insane, I think it's one of their longest as well.

Something from Brave New World.
I'm not a great fan of all the old stuff, but I like No Prayer For The Dying and off course Run To The Hills!

Posted by: DeGroot Oct 3 2012, 07:51 PM

Yes, tough to choose just one!

Posted by: Ben Higgins Oct 3 2012, 07:56 PM

What an evil question !!

How am I supposed to choose between Moonchild, Where Eagles Dare, Infinite Dreams, Run Silent, Run Deep etc..

First Opeth and now this !! You cruel man !!

Maiden is my favorite band, how can you make me choose just one!!! HOW!? I cant handle this pressure. Its like telling me I have to choose only one eye to keep and the other gets stabbed out with a mechanical pencil. How about I give you a "short" list to start with while I weigh in on which eye I want to keep.


Run to the Hills
The Trooper
The Prisoner
Hallowed be thy Name
Fear of the Dark
2 Minutes to Midnight
Paschendale
Aces High
The Longest Day

....Ok I will stop there or I will end up putting all of them on there.

So I have given it some thought. You may take my right eye. My left eye is my master eye and shooting eye even though I am right handed. Might need that afterwards...

I will choose

Dance of Death

There, Ive done it. I feel this song has a great mix of everything Maiden.

actually this question can´t be answered ....Maiden is my most favorite band since 1987 so you could ask me which is the best Iron Maiden song in every decade.....

I will name just 5 just to name some but if you ask again in 5 minutes you will another 5....

Hallowed be thy name
Dance of Death
Fear of the Dark (definitely in the live versions!)
Alexander the Great
Wasted Years


up the irons!!

Hallowed be thy name
Dance of Death
2 min to midnight
loneliness of a long distance runner
rainmaker
Blood brothers
Paschendale
to tame a land

haven't listen to maiden in a while

Posted by: The Uncreator Oct 3 2012, 10:00 PM

The live versions of Rime Of The Ancient Mariner.

So.


Epic.

Posted by: audiopaal Oct 3 2012, 10:26 PM

Revelations, from Piece Of Mind

Posted by: SindreD Oct 3 2012, 10:29 PM

Word up from above, Rime of the Ancient Mariner is definitely my all-time favorite!

2nd place goes to Phantom of the Opera, the DiAnno records are way underrated!!

Posted by: bleez Oct 3 2012, 10:35 PM

The Trooper.
That song is like getting the fist of zeus rammed into your face

Posted by: llibach Oct 3 2012, 11:05 PM

Hallowed Be Thy Name. That line where Bruce holds thas note at the start is just amazing.
"The sands of time for me are running loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOw."
Classic.
Oh and from the Di'anno era Prowler.

Posted by: Ekilo Oct 3 2012, 11:47 PM

I have to agree with the Paul Di'Anno sentiments. You have to figure Maiden came about when British punk was big. Di'anno had a great punk style that fit Maiden perfectly for the very beginning. Gave them an edgy sound for the time.

Bruce however, is epic in mortal form.

Posted by: Ben Higgins Oct 4 2012, 09:02 AM

That too is a monstrously epic tune. Still remember the first time I heard it which was when I borrowed the 12 Wasted Years video off of my friend at school... totally blew me away !



That's a fantastic description !
