Iron Maiden - Countdown

Finally got it to work. It totally sounds like Maiden but is still like nothing they have ever done before. Interesting. The cover for the single is the coolest thing i've seen in a long time.

Rock on brother. I saw them in Milwaukee in '99, and kids who were 12, 13 or 14 were singing along to EVERYTHING( (Di'Anno, Dickinson, Blaze)!!! It was amazing. A great band, and let's hope they keep going for years!! At least I can count on Iron Maiden not ot be a soap opera (I think)!

Dude, that wasn't by any chance the show they did in the summer of that year at the Eagles Ballroom, where it was FUCKING 110 degrees in there? Cuz I was at that show, and it was awesome. A pal of mine & me were up front during one of Adrian's solos, and started doing the Wayne's World "we're not worthy." Adrian starts chuckling on stage, and FUCKS UP THE SOLO! Not a lot, but enough for me to notice. Dude threw me a pick, too. Adrian Smith rules.

It was!!!

My wife & her best friend went in bra-less!!!! Classic. The heat & humidity were crazy!!!
 
Finally got to listen to it.

I like it. A lot. Reminded me a bit of Killers and other earlier albums in parts. Far more direct than the epic progressive sound of the last album.

Looking forward to the new album now.

I hope its not their last album. We've already lost Bushthrax, don't want to lose Maiden too. Im thinking the countdown is for Maidens US tour starting this month or its a new single or album release date announcement.

How can you even compare? Bushthrax is 90's grunge metal whereas Maiden is old school as hell. If you like old school you should like ANTHRAX with Belladonna too...

After listening to this single, I can say with certainty that Joey, being only two years younger than Bruce, can outsing Bruce any day of the week.

I swear 6er, you outdo yourself in every post! Are you on drugs??? Even when Bruce has his worst night, he still blows Belladonna off the stage, both vocally and as a frontman.

Man, oh man, I do believe I have heard it all now.

Okay, we know you love Joey, i guess you're even masturbating while imagining him on stage with Anthrax. But that's just ridiculous.
 
6er said:
Bruce was once the best vocalist in metal, but his voice has now aged to the point where he can't use his high register without straining. I wish Maiden would focus more on complementary high guitar melodies, allowing Bruce to sing comfortably in his lower register. Something tells me Bruce's ego won't allow it.

Joey's highs are still crystal clear and unforced. He has better control now than he did in the 80's.

And he lived in his dreamworld happily ever after...

Not likely. What you will hear is the collective "We told you so" as Bush fans laugh at how goofy Joey is gonna make Anthrax look.

Agreed....

Tell us 6er...why you hate John Bush so much? Why you turn every thread to battle Joey vs. John?

I mean we all know that there are different eras of Anthrax and Joey is part of couple of them... some more successful than the others...
I like ONLY Joey's first stint with the band (Armed And Dangerous -EP - POT). But disliking the reunion - I still think it was a bad idea - and what is happening now does NOT make me hate Joey. I just think Joey is inferior as a singer or frontman and that Anthrax were better off with Bush.

Anyway...I'm looking forward to hearing the new Iron Maiden album! And seeing them live at Sonisphere... :headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang:

Don't say things like that, we'll probably have to hear about how live Joeythrax is better than live Iron Maiden ;)

Hahahaha. I'm breaking my own rules and fueling the fire but I'm going to be dick (so if anything I fit in perfectly at this forum) and quote myself from page 1.

UP THE IRONS!!!
 
"God damn we have crowd here tonight!"
I don't know why but live Joey has no register, no pitch, no control in his voice, not what it takes to be a metal singer...he just lets that high moan and wail come out of his mouth. Am I evil if I say that he is the Ozzy Osbourne of thrash metal...?

In studio...totally different Joey...would be nice to know how many takes it took to record vocals to the albums he has done with Anthrax.

When it comes to metal singers...now when Ronnie is gone, of all metal frontmen Bruce is probably the best there is left...through all these years he has kept his standard of performance and vocal delivery on very high level!

Hm, the former best rock vocalist of all time still lives, but has lost his voice from decades of screaming "Child In Time". But there is still Glenn Hughes, he would destroy even Bruce anytime.

I have to agree on everything else. Bruce might not be what he once was anymore, but Joey will never outsing him. Joey is not a bad singer, but i just don't understand what 6er thinks is SO fucking great about him. He is your average, generic 80s metal singer. Not bad, but nothing special.

But whatever, in the end everything is a matter of opinion, and he shall have his. It's just annoying in a childish way, that he has to make everything into a Joey vs Bush debate. What's the point in that? I don't think the Bush fans will magically be converted to love Joey, just by saying how great he is often enough. In other forums such a troll would have been banned long ago... i mean, nothing wrong with having a discussion, thats what forums are for. But i think we have enough John vs Joey threads already.
