I think dave has always put in and brought out 100%. Sometimes when you listen to a maiden track it doesn't exactly stand out (something like gates of tommorow or nomad for me) but i've never ever sat and said, "god, dave's solo, is crap there".
Musically, Cradle of Filth done a good job of Hallowed Be Thy Name.
But I just don't like Danny Filth's voice. Its good that he did it his own way, but it's no use for a song like Hallowed Be Thy Name.
There are so many great tracks on the album, Its hard to pick an outright favourite.
But the intro on Face In the Sand, when Dave hits that certain note! God, it gets me everytime!!
Yeah, they really need to bring back their original artist.
I did think Brave New Worlds artwork was very cool, but Dance Of Death's cover would have looked so much better if all the people we're drawn by hand rather than computer.
my favourite cover is probably Fear of the Dark
I'm new here, so I thought I'd start a topic.
i started listening to Maiden when I was 8 years old!! I saw the "No Prayer For The Dying" album when I was on holiday in Cyprus. I asked my Mum if she'd buy me it purely on the strength of the cover art!
So 10 years later and things havn't...
