It seems to me we have some high votes for Metallica, Iron Maiden and Priest. Andy you gonna do anything about this?! haha
For anything other than Andy's CV (and wallet), I'd rather he mix a good young band than a huge band that hasn't written a good album in twenty years.
But don't you think that some of the bigger bands that have put out weaker albums over the years may benefit from having Andy as producer as well? I bet if Maiden jumped on board with him for an album, we'd have another "Number" or "Powerslave" as the end result. My only reason for thinking this is because of what happened with Nevermore. They go with someone else for EOR right after they did DHIADW (which was brilliant) and aside from the obvious shitty sound, the songs on EOR aren't actually that great. The remix helped that album a lot ... A LOT ... but then they go back to Andy for TGE and FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!! Another brilliant album
I actually edited my post. To be clear, EOR has good material regardless so that isn't what I'm talking about. What I'm saying is that I don't care what he would do for an album with terrible music just b/c the band is famous. I think the production point is fair, but to be specific (at the risk of getting flamed), no amount of guidance is going to make Metallica cut a good album now. I would rather hear what Andy could do to shape a young, talented band....sylosis for example.But don't you think that some of the bigger bands that have put out weaker albums over the years may benefit from having Andy as producer as well?

I think its time we star an all out internet campaign war to get Maiden on board with Andy for their next album. Bruce is sounding better than he has in over a decade ... its time to get one more massive mutherfucker of a Maiden album and Andy is the man to do it
