[MoonOvIce]

I like all of them, but my favorites albums are definitely Somewhere in Time and Seventh son of a seventh son because of the "epicness" of those albums and the subject matter (lyrics) is unbelievable and is the sort of thing I really like...

[WrathWithinMe]

1) Dance of death

I rarely listen to the recording of the four first albums only the live versions since they are so much superior the the recordings.

At the end Bruce acts like a 5 year old or something: "Am I done?" :D

[WrathchildNH]

right about one thing.....I saw Maiden with DiAnno twice....but when I saw the Beast on the Road tour.....the band went well beyond my expectations...... incredible showmanship and stage presence...many thousands of fans drank the koolaid and joined the Maiden Army on this tour....saw it twice...once opening for the Scorpions Blackout tour.......only tour with Bruce I've missed since was Fear of the Dark

[orionconflict2007]

I just figured I'd do it since everyone else is. I thought Piece of Mind would be on there, but somehow it wasn't :/ Ah, I love them all. Piece of Mind can alternate with AMOLAD. And I really do love The Final Frontier, so in a few months or so, may end up on the list :)

[PAULOcbi]

@TealBerryEmerald I saw the Powerslave tour at MapleLeafGardens in Toronto great show.Too bad BruceDickinson is such a twat though.

At the moment I would say 1 - Killers 2 - Piece Of Mind 3 - Iron Maiden 4 - Number Of The Beast 5 - Seventh Son 6 - Somewhere In Time 7 - Powerslave 8 - Fear Of The Dark 9 - Brave New World =10 A Matter Of Life And Death =10 No Prayer Cheated a bit there, but its so damn hard to choose, I love them all!

[skogis1992]

Oh..choosing the top 5 is a hard one, but here's my list:

1. The Number of the Beast

2. Powerslave

3. A Matter of Life and Death

4. Seventh Son

5. Piece of Mind

But I could as easily put Iron Maiden, The Killers, Somewhere in Time, Fear of the Dark, Brave New World and Dance of Death on the list.. :D

[MMdrummer3153]

Hate my taste if you want but here's my personal favorites. Iron Maiden never made a bad album but these are the albums I love to listen to the most. I'm sure The Final Frontier will make this list if not the top.

1: A Matter of Life and Death

2: Brave New World

3: Seventh son of a seventh son

4: No prayer for the dying

5: Fear of the Dark

[sandiz83]

allright top 5 album:

2, Seventh son of the seventh son

3, Fear of the dark

4, iron Maiden

5, Powerslave

[rockinronny14422]

What other band is more popular in the world. been a fan sence 1982 when i was snot nose punk now 43 cant what to see them in chicago this summer.

1: Strange World

2: Journeyman

3: Reach Out

[jonybeam]

you do live in a strange world!

[Gladius314]

lol, those are some strange selections. are you sure you've heard all their music?

[internalpeaceseeker]

strange world

[Rangerhalt1]

For me it's hard but my favorite is probably "The Longest Day" I like how it starts slow, becomes a hell of a rock song, has a kickass solo, and goes out with a bang. Well, either that song our "Hallowed Be Thy Name"

[psych0p4t3]

Sign of the cross is like this too.

[donlennaerts]

I got into maiden 2years ago.A friend of me asked me to watch a music dvd and i'm like sure man.And I came to him and then we got to watch/ the rock in rio dvd.I tell you I fell inlove imidiatly. After that I downloaded a couple of songs and the next day I bought NOB and IM. They're very good! And I love them! Next summer we went to their Gig in Assen, Holland so good! I've got al their cd's!

UP THE IRONS!!!

[TheGuitardedOne1338]

t0p 5, in no particular order:

A Matter Of Life And Death

The Number of the Beast

Seventh Son

Piece of Mind

Somewhere In Time

Powerslave would be on that list if I could put one more in. Not a big fan of their work '90-98 (not bad but they've done mch better), but Brave New World and the more recent ones are great.

[SweViktory]

I'd say:

Fear of the Dark

Dance of Death

Brave New World

Somewhere back in time

Live After Death

[Jontish316]

Number of the beast

Powerslave

Seventh son

Somewhere back in time

Piece of mind

IMO, they're all good though.

[TellyaSomethin]

Wish they'd do a show where they open for themselves with tunes from the first two records and have all the old guys play then go into the newer guys stuff. with all the original members to the current ones. That would be a bad ass concert indeed!!!!!!!!!

[pkfaceman]

I'm gonna go with -

Live After Death

Number of the Beast

Dance of Death

Powerslave

Piece of Mind

Not in any particular order tho!

[punapoppeli]

A matter of life and death

Piece of mind

Seventh son

Powerslave

Iron Maiden

[Robinott93]

I've always thought Adrian left Iron Maiden due to the new sound maiden had on Somewhere In Time time and SSOASS. Even so, SIT is one of his favourite albums xD

[Olly8264]

I heard he actually liked that. Just listen to Stranger in a Strange Land which he wrote. I thought he left because they were going back to the old sound. After all No prayer is certainly different to SSOASS!

[greeneye023]

I love you Maiden,for so long. . .

[wifflestoner]

2. Brave New World

3. Number of the Beast

4. Fear of the Dark

5. Somewhere In Time

[bottletopp]

Ha ha, at the end you can see Bruce can't wait to get out of there!

I was at that show in Zurich that the footage is taken from, but it took me a while to realise. Who knows where I can get hold of more footage from that show???

[roggeriocsouza]

MASTERS!!!!

[urizen123]

"Somewhere In Time" is Adrian's favourite album, eh?

...There's a surprise...!

:P

[ChillenMcGrillen93]

Yeah, but you do write songs and put them on an album because you think they are good, not because you wrote! (atleast that's what good bands does)

[Xiolablu3]

@ChillenMcGrillen93 I think Adrian actually  says that its his 5th favourite after the 4 they put out.

I think its first equal with Powerslave. SIT contains Sea of Madness one of my favourite Maiden songs.

number of the beast

[xOppositeEffect]

top 5 albums:

the brave new world

dance of death

powerslave

somewhere in time

number of the beast

[tocko92]

Its really hard to decide top five. Seventh son and Powerslave share the first place in my opinion, but then its difficult. Sure, Number of the Beast, Run to the hills and Hallowed be thy Name are great songs, but except those, there are many better songs than the ones from number of the beast, so i would say Powerslave and Seventh son on the first place, after that i cant decide

[Mammasbajskorv]

Damn top 5 albums is hard! I mean they are all AWSOME so you can't realy pick 5 of them. They all have there best song and some songs are not so good, but 99% of the song is the BEST!!!

UP THE IRONS!!! LONG LIVE MAIDEN!!!!

[51m0nnn]

i can hardly decide which album is the best, cause all are great. but i think brave new world really rocks!

[hassiebassie19]

Top 5 albums.. Real tough one!

Powerslave

The Number Of The beast

Dance Of Death

Iron Maiden

Brave New World

Don't know, think Seventh son should be in aswell.... so many great albums :D

5. Somewhere in time

[HalfEatenDimSim]

Yeah I like Powerslave aswell, just thought it had a few filler tracks however. I would vote their worst album as No Prayer for the Dying, but it is still a good album. UP THE IRONS

[brassknuckleduster]

I would say No Prayer is their 2nd worst, Dance of Death is their worst IMO. The funny thing is they are still great albums in their own way. I also believe they are the 2 worst albums for artwork along with Piece of Mind. Powerslave and Somewhere in Time have the best artwork IMO. UP THE IRONS! UP ADRIANS MULLET!

[tocko92]

i would say the blaze albums are the worst, i think dance of death and no prayer actually are better than for example killers and number of the beast (except run to the hills, number of the beast and hallowed be thy name, those songs belong to their best ever, but the rest of the album is not better than anything else they have made except the blaze albums)

[brassknuckleduster]

Number of the beast also has Children of the Damned & 22 Acacia Avenue aswell so I feel it contains 5 power tracks with just the3 fillers, but I like these fillers. Powerslave had really only 4 power songs and 4 fillers. Personally Piece of Mind had no real songs I like much, I think the The Trooper has an annoying riff. I like the first 2 albums because they are so raw, fucken classic metal. MEGA HELLA RIGHTS FUCK YEAH BABY MAN!! UP THE IRONS!! FUCK MY OLD BOOTS THOSE BOYS CAN PLAY HI BIG ORRA!

[Iamyourfather666]

I think their worst album is Virtual XI or No prayer for the Dying (even when each one has a few pretty good songs). The worst Artwork goes for... Virtual XI!!! and the best artwork for me it's maybe Somewhere in Time or Fear of the Dark... and singles cover, definetley The Trooper and Hallowed Be Thy Name

[brassknuckleduster]

My top 5 maiden albums:

1. The Number of the Beast

2. Somewhere In Time

3. Seventh Son

4. Killers

5. Virtual XI

[Gorbaswe]

top 5 studi album for me i gues is #1 Brave New World # 2 The Number Of Beast #3 Killers #4 Somwere In Time # Fear Of The Dark, but i allso realy like A Matter Of Life And Death :)

[Malchazeen14]

Yes, Steve Harris DID put the best album on top five: The X Factor.

[ColtraneTaylor]

Which is that last one Dave picked?

[ChillenMcGrillen93]

Yeah, but I don't think it's because of his ego, just that his really proud of it!

[ChillenMcGrillen93]

No, Adrian likes the record and he just says "I like the eddie on this one", has nothing to do with how good the record is :P

[theowilson]

Hehe it says The Number of The Beast but it's actually 2 Minutes To Midnight.

[boomhouse86]

Think you should listen more to Iron Maiden. :p It's The Number of The Beast, no doubt. If you mean the song at approx. 6:50.

[ChillenMcGrillen93]

Maybe he tought it said "The number of the beast" at approx 3 minutes cus of the bad quality!?

[theowilson]

Yeah exactly

[LouczE]

Is that Killers or Iron Maiden Bruce and Adrian put in top 5? Looks like Killers to me, but not quite sure.

[ChillenMcGrillen93]

Killers!

[AudioSHABELA]

Wow. Great interview. Definetly the best live band ever. And still rockin' after so many years. Awesome.

[maiden910802]

Best ´Band ever! It's that simple.

all the albums are great I cant make up my mind;)

Ullevi gothenburg 26/7-08 cant wait

up the Irons!

[ironmaidenisgod]

what does the sign say at 6:26??

[ChillenMcGrillen93]

No freaking idea, but looks like Scorpions on the top (and ofc Maiden)

[ImEatinSkin]

and on the text down to the left it says Heavy Metal, but I can't figure out what it says between Scorpions and Maiden, but it kinda looks like Destruction something, but I may be wrong.

[Clivef213]

I agree with Steve at 8:45 mark when he said You Have to see them Live they are the Best Live. UP THE IRONS!!!

[joelikesdogs]

is it just me or does dave murray look like dog the bounty hunter

[wouldntyoulike2know]

Dave, Steve and Bruce are all so cute!

[acdcCOLINacdc]

My top 5 :D

1.Number Of The Beast

2.A Matter Of Life And Death

3.Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son

4.Fear Of The Dark

5.Piece Of Mind

[Zeitgeist74]

It's great to see Bruce seem so......I don't know.......rather down-to-earth? Yeah, I've always been a fan. Rock on Maiden!

[Stratocaster900]

Nicely said.

[saul522]

I love these guys so much!!!!!

[gamble7man]

Iron Maiden are the best, what more could I say.

[themoor666]

I'm in agreement with you man
