Why are Maiden-fans a band of easy-to-satisfy sheeps?

[Tangerine Dreamer]

if the single is any indication, Maiden are releasing yet another crappy album. They've been doing this for a long long time now... and the albums are just getting worse and worse. But look at the happy Maiden crowd: They are satisfied with the situation. It's not logical.... look at albums like Piece Of Mind and Seventh Son and compare those with BNW. You have to be a vegetable to even suggest that BNW has a chance against any of the classic albums.
It's obvious some of you are not living in this world anymore... go on supporting a band that died some 15 years ago, it's no skin o' my teeth... I just find it stupid.

Sounds like you're stuck in the past to me.

I watched a movie where tangerine dream did the whole sound track. It was funny.

Aren't most singles geared toward getting radio play so people will hear it and then buy the album? Wicker Man wasn't the best song on BNW and I doubt Wildest Dreams will be the best song on DOD. Maiden is far from dead. As for bands dying, Metallica died after the black album.

Ever think that people LIKE it?

THAT'S the bottom line. WE LIKE IT...TRY ARGUING THAT.

I for one like the song.

I honestly love brave new worl it's there best ever. The only album that can stand up to it is Seventh son of a seventh son.

Wildest Dreams isnt a good song. Its poorly written and straight out of the generic classic rock library.

Personally i think that BNW is one of maidens best albums.
Some people of course wanna remain negative to anything "new" no matter what.
I also think Wildest Dreams is an ok song, though i prefer their epics to regular rockers.

Yes and when people hear this song they will get the impression that the whole album is just as mediocre and ignore the album. You can't blame anyone for thinking that Maiden are a bunch of has beens from listening to the singles. Maiden's single choices are retarded, they lost a great opportunity by not releasing Blood Brothers. Not only that, I agree the band is going downhill, they're simply repeating themselves. Its the kind of people that are impressed by cheap power metal that think Maiden are still an interesting band.

I totally agree. I have high hopes that the rest of the album will be better so hopefully Wildest Dreams is not an indication of what to expect.

Coming from people that enjoy the ":cheddar: Factor" saying Wildest dreams is a bad song is really laughable.

 

[Tormentor]

Ben,
Well you don't have to buy & listen to the single/album.
And I don't have to agree with your (what I consider-) bullshit, either.

 

[Stormwatch]

So the band will never release an album as good as POM or SIT again - tough shit. BNW was still a good solid record, and I'm sure DoD will be good as well. Not many bands release classics constantly for 25 fucking years.
It's all OPINION anyway, John SIlver thinks Maiden are retarded cos they didn't use Blood Brothers as a single - I personally think that song is pretty shite and Wicker Man is much better.
If you dont like it, dont buy it - simple as that. At least they aren't selling out or using a frying pan instead of a snare drum.

The movie was funny or the soundtrack?

I bet it was "Legend". Or maybe "Near Dark".

TXF has 1000 times more originality than BNW.

I have listened to BNW just three times... I just had to stop. It was horrible horrible, forgettable shit. Maiden really is a shell of their former self.

One word to you sir: LOAD

 

[Mark]

Why is it, whenever people start criticising Maiden that the fanboys have to bring Metallica into it?

It's like calling someone a fag just because you can't think of any better arguments.

(oh, ps - I'm glad Blood Brothers wasn't a single; overwrought melodramatic crud, IMO)

 

[Iced In Flames]

To me it sounded like YES did the soundtrack for Legend.
