I've always found it strange that punks really love iron maiden,i can understand the earlier stuff that had a punk feel to it,but not the later stuff.
Living a life kept shut by a dream,
I'm reaching out to grasp my reality.
Hands of time wrap tight around my neck, and hit me so hard,
leaving me eyes black.
staring at a ceiling,
wondering why i never left,
penning words in a notebook,
wondering why haven't slept.
sanity is tapping in a cell
inside my fucking head.
begging for redemption
after hearing what was said.
the nights, they will not sleep
cause the days, have played for keeps.

I like the albums "Iron Maiden" - "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son". Everything else I never got into.

Not a punk.
Sometimes people just like good bands. Regardless of what scene or genre they're supposed to fit into.
Though I guess that would be punk?
All nonsense aside...Maiden puts on a better show than just about anyone on earth...regardless of how the album may turn out.

Of course,it was't a dig towards people who do like them,but i see punk as a kickback to big stadium rock bands...And iron maiden are well a big
stadium rock band now...

Steve Harris (their bass player) has talked down that element before.
He has a quote in American Hardcore actually talking about how people have said they had a punk vibe in the early days and that's the last thing he'd
want to be compared to as they were all working class kids and couldn't relate to rich kids w/ funny haircuts or something of that sort.
Venom is another metal band that's always caused that "vibe" discussion...though their early stuff was way more "punk" sounding than maiden has ever
been.

The last album Matter of Life and Death was pretty good...but it was also a bit drawn out. The songs were very long and kind of seem to blend
together. Outside of a few songs on 7th Son and No Prayer of the Dying though...everything else has been forgettable at best.
Nicko has stated in an interview that this is their fastest material in years...what that means...who knows. But Dickenson can still handle the vocals
better than any of that era of vocalists (Halford sounds like one of the skeksis from Dark Crystal now) so we'll see...it could be a solid album.

Damn right! Caught them for the first time on their last tour in which they ONLY played material from the Self Titled upto Fear of the Dark. Such a
solid show and was everything I had hoped to see since I was a little kid and my older brother turned me onto them.
Anyone ever hear "The one you love to hate" from Halford's solo album "Reserection"? It has him AND Bruce Dickinson on ONE track! EPIC!

I like the really old Maiden Stuff and then after that I enjoy:
Powerslave
Piece of Mind
Number of The Beast
They are good and I have never seen them live. Still need to see them.
BKT.

I like listening to Maiden every now and then. I don't throw them on too often, but I still enjoy their stuff.

I tihnk Iron Maiden gets a bum rap being catagorized as "Cheese Metal"... The lyrics are "epic" but not in an overly cheesy way like for instance
Twisted Sister.
