Being that the early 90s were a totally putrid period of Maiden's esteemed career, it can be said that, not Maiden, but, actually, Spinal Tap were the authors of the horrid affair known as "Fear of the Dark".
Obviously, it couldn't have been Maiden's record! Could the same band that wrote & released classic, classy metal tracks such as "Infinite Dreams", "Hallowed Be thy Name", "Purgatory" & "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" really be the same band that wrote...<gulp>..."Fear is the Key", "Apparition", "From Here to Eternity" and the embarrasing "Weekend Warrior"??!?!? I doubt it.
Heck, even the silly "Eddie props" were a joke on that tour. Does anyone remember the childish "tree Eddie" that stalked the stage?
Pure cheese & idiocy.
THank godlessness that the 'Tap gave up this gig!
