Iron Maiden
No publicity,no TV appearances,no airplay,no Simon Cowell yet still have highest new entry in top 40 at No.3!!!
Thats the sign of a proper band.Who else could manage that nowadays? I doubt anyone in U.K! \m/ \m/

Maiden have one of the most loyal fan bases going. Would have been even better if it had emulated 'Bring Your Daughter...' and made No 1. Superb marketing again.

Delighted to hear it's done so well! |

i bet radio one wont play it. a couple of years ago marillion used the net to get big sales for their single your gone.it was 2cnd highest entry that week i think in at no.6 but radio one wouldnt play it and top of the pops gave the video about 3 seconds.typical,if it aint dance,rap crap or something trendy it gets ignored even if its miles better than the rest of the trash in the charts.

The other factor is releasing the single after christmas when sales are low, which also helped Bring Your Daughter... get to number one.
However the chart success of 'Maiden puts many other bands to shame (14 top 10's iirc?). |

Iron Maiden > Any and every other band in the charts today
Fact. Way better than all of this dance/rap/R&B garbage that Radio 1 shove down our throats. |

Think my faves are still Number of the Beast and Can I Play with Madness, though there are many great tracks to choose from!
(Incidentally, yikes! My second post in this thread, exactly 13 months after my first!) |

Love the Iron's. A guy I used to work with introduced me to them way back in 1982. Since then I've bought all the albums, and just love them. Wasn't too keen on the stuff without Bruce at the helm. But fave tracks have to be Hallowed Be Thy Name & Wasted Years.

Im glad this thread is here!
Maiden are probably my favourite band, just foooking amazingly brilliant shows and incredible songs. Hoping to see them this year too, saw them at Download last year and they owned it. Looking to get the Live after Death DVD this week, cuz it also has the second part of the history of maiden which should be great too. Have to say though, my fav song is probably The Clairvoyant, followed my Fear of the Dark. Amazing stuff!

Considering what they've achieved world-wide, it's nothing short of a disgrace how they're treated, or should that be ignored, by their own country's media!
![]() Still, I'll be there at Twickenham in July, enjoying it just as much as the first time I saw them, way back on the "Iron Maiden UK Tour" in 1980!!

But when the next studio album comes out they will return to doing a full UK tour once more. You can't expect them to play the smaller concert halls like they did during the early eighties - the Hammersmith Apollos and De Montfort Halls and St George's Halls of this world, as they aren't big enough to hold the number of people who want to see Maiden. That's why they play the NEC, Sheffield Arena, Wembley Arena, SECC etc. But they will play them, next time they do a full UK tour. Maybe they don't want to do a full tour when they have no new material to promote. |
