Aging like a fine wine...Iron Maiden

Just had to share my love for the greatest metal band of all time.

I wholeheartedly agree. Bought Killers back in '81 when I saw the album cover in Hit Parader or Creem or Circus magazine. Been a fan ever since.

Awful stuff. I prefer more reflective, relatable music. Like Gordon Lightfoot.

I’ve seen them 3 times over the years. Once in Nola, Houston, and Denver. You know what you are going to get and they never disappoint. Some bands can’t hold up live compared to the studio albums...definitely not the case with Maiden. Hoping to get the chance to see them one more time.

The quality dropped off big time after Powerslave.

Dude there is so much quality after Powerslave. The early albums are all brilliant and it’s justified that they get more publicity. But there’s tons of great music in the later catalogue. You do realize Seventh Son of a Seventh Son and Somewhere in Time came after Powerslave right? Granted there’s some less quality work in there, especially without Dickinson and Smith, but the later stuff is great as well.

I see you post in a lot of threads on the music board and we seem to have similar musical interests. If Maiden makes one more run do yourself a favor and make a trip. They usually play Texas which isn’t a bad trip. It’s well worth your time and money.

I saw Sabbath at the Woodlands about 5 or 6 years ago, so I was able to check that off the list. The only time I saw Pantera was in late 80’s early 90’s, can’t really remember. They opened for Skid Row in Nola on New Years Eve. They weren’t even very popular yet. The one regret I have is I never got to see Dio.

I saw him at Hob in Nola. 1997 Magika tour. It was fricking awesome.

I loved going there in the 90s because you were damn near 10ft from the performers. Type O Negative was another great concert I saw there.
