Insanely good new Iron Maiden Sci-Fi music video
- Thread starter Pingfah
- Start date
Seconded.
Eddie is not unlike Jason, un-fucking-killable.
I like this track a little better than El Dorado, which they released about a month ago. Gonna get the album.
That video makes me think Maiden could do an entire movie, ala Heavy Metal.
They have enough great music to fill a full length movie and could use that video as a template or one chapter among many.
It would need to feature Eddie of course, maybe in different time periods as the many different versions of himself.
Well in a way I could see that whole thing with the pyramid and the key and El Dorado being sort of like the sphere in Heavy Metal 1 and 2. Going from era to era corrupting and killing and affecting everyone it came into contact with. So really they could very easily do a Heavy Metal like movie if they really really wanted to.
Of course then they need a scantily clad warrior chica

It really was just a lesser copy of the original, with animation that actually looked worse.

I'm not ashamed to say that that gave me wood. I probably should be, though.
I'm sure I'll get sick of it after it's been used in about 600 "This is what the theme song of Enterprise should have been" and Trek action scene compilation videos on YouTube, though.

Sigh. I wish Maiden would quit repeating the choruses of their songs like, 30 times toward the end. They've been doing that since Brave New World. I never checked out the last album. I'll probably sit this one out as well. Dance of Death was so boring it kind of put me off of their new stuff.

That was awesome! Now the song is stuck in my head. 
Their last album was the best album they've had since Seventh Son in my opinion.
Anyway, I am enjoying this track as much as the video, I prefer it to Eldorado and I can't wait for the new album now!
So it's only okay to praise the video/song in this thread? Sorry, I'll leave now. Or maybe I should just post; "Yeah, you like it, I get it."
You can say whatever you want, I never said you couldn't. Just wasn't sure why you were repeating yourself and making out that people liking a song has some sort of bearing on the direction of music as a whole.
Seemed like a pretty redundant post all round but feel free to participate and i'll feel free to pass comment on it. Thanks.

I think Brave New World is the best of the latter day stuff, so far.
Well, it's certainly a hell of a lot better than the two travesties that came before it.
Try as I might I cannot listen to more than a track or two of the Blaze Bayley stuff, i've given them both a fair hearing, but they are really horribly uninspired albums. Brave New World is a massive improvement.

Yep, there were 2 songs on X Factor that I thought were OK. The first two in fact. Nothing at all memorable from Virtual XI.
It seemed like the writing was completely different than with Bruce Bruce. Like it was simplified to death for Bayley. Very repetitive lyrics.
I was lucky enough to get the first 9 albums (including Live After Death) as 2 disc sets with the b-sides on the second discs back in the mid-90's.
And at good prices no less.
Mission From Harry is a friggin' laugh-fest. Nicko has'n a melt-down.

Sparse vocal overdubs too, it was like listening to a pub rock band compared to the operatic qualities of Dickinson's stuff.
I vaguely recall those re-releases but I don't own any of them myself. I just picked up the Best of the B-sides album though which collects together a lot of those extra tracks.
I have several albums on vinyl and unfortunately had the tapes of most in the 80s, but most of my CDs come from the 98 re-releases, so they are enhanced CDs with videos.
