Great song. I get chills when i get my own "A Matter of Live and Death". I started to do maniac dance when i heard first notes. I love them. They have incredible performances, I was at one year ago in Poland. Great way to spend money. : ]
Larga fue la espera cuando recibieron un email que levanto cierto interes, el remitente era anonimo y escribio 9 palabras en romano:"Aici zace un om despre care nu se ştie prea mult" asi como esta en la lapida con eddie en el cementerio, al traducirlo dice Here lies a man of whom little is know (aqui yace el hombre por quien pocos es conocido) apartir de esto, se fueron formando las piezas en el rompecabeza, pero quedo pendiente... el titulo de esta cancion no lo invento maiden, ellos lo usaron

la traduccion es: Aqui yace un hombre de quien muy poco se sabe.
y sobre Benjamin Breeg, parece haber sido secuestrado por la mafia en Rumania, al igual que su primo Abraham (el que nos ha provisto de toda esa imformacion).
Benjamin parece ser conocido por alguien de la banda, pero ellos no diran nada sobre su verdadera identidad o paradero.
Pocos o muchos saben de la historia de benjamin breeg, primo perdido de murray o harris no recuerdo bien cual de los dos, dejando una larga historia y una increible coincidencia de benjamin con el grupo iron maiden (especificamente con sus pinturas y sus libros) Harris/Murray siguen en la busqueda de su primo en Rumania donde se cree que todavia vive pero imposible localizar
First of all you double posted dude. Secondly Number of the Beast can never be repeated ever by any band it's the defining album for modern heavy metal and one of the best rock albums ever. Also what's the problem if it focuses on war. Afghanistan Cecenia Irak Sudan Afghanistan shall i name more conflict zones? isn't this sort of a protest against the bullshit that war is?
This song fucking rocks and i love bruces voice \,,/! is maiden the only band what does good albums like 20 years ago and good albums on these days? like If you hear new metallica that sucks hard, but old metallica rocks. And sorry my english sucks :D
is that sort of thing okay in the UK? in america the FFC would flip the shit over breasts. i swear, sometimes i wonder if people in the ivory towers are on crack.
Power slave is my favourite maiden album. I didn't listen to blazes 2 albums with them. Even now maiden proves they can always come up with kick us songs. The nomad,, ROBB, Paschendale are few examples of their latest kick ass albums. No other metal group could survive like maiden without going commercial.

Matter of life or death, just seemed to focus too much on the war, don't get me wrong, the album had a few good songs, but none as good as the songs on The Number of the beast album.****************************

disagree with you suckoya 100%, NPFTD, TXF, BNW, DOD, and AMOLAD, are all awesome cds. FOTD is their worst album but still good, and VXI is the second worst maiden album, but still very good. Maiden always rocks, even on their worst album.

Iron Maiden will always be #1 in my book, but this new album disappointed me I mean, it lacked luster, and it might only be me but the songs seemed a bit preachy, don't get me wrong, it was good, it just lacked the civil disobedience that we have come to love about Maiden.
They need to get Martin Birch back producing... or at least someone who will force Bruce to actually bother singing well. Honestly, listen to the Birch produced stuff that Bruce sang, then the new stuff, it's all the same melodies these days. Bruce's lack-luster "I can't be arsed putting in any effort" vocals these days are ruining every Maiden song that could be great.
Yup Brave New World is definitely the best heavy metal album in the past 10-15 years and maiden's greatest contribution to heavy metal since Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Also it fuckin rocked! Up the Irons!
haha they are still great maybe even better than before just hear brave new world`s solo u wouldnt hear that on powerslave or piece of mind they still kickass !..!
This must be a hard song to play because they're remembering all the good times. It's hard for bands because your on top for so long. On top of the world and then like that you're kicked off because your tours are done and there are no more albums. I feel for you Iron Maiden. You still kick ass in my book.
I think Iron Maiden playing Better than 20 years ago ... Dance of Death or The Matter of Life And Death are more interesting and more advised than Fear of the Dark or Powerslave albums. But I Still Love That Solo in Wasted Years :D Up the IRONS!! its My Opinion ... Greetings for All Fans Of Iron Maiden !!!
ok! so they didn`t play much of their old stuff BUT we(my mate and i)did get right down to the front(glasgow ssec) a pair of 40 something (grumpy!)old gits in amongst the young team in the mosh-pit GREAT FUN!!and i have the bruises to prove it.`Trivium` their support totally ROCKED!!-a great night 5star.
furthermore . . i have to confess i am going to see them at glasgow SECC on 15/12 ONLY because my mate bought the ticket (i wasn`t going PERIOD!!) dickenson!! this is your chance to redeem yourself and YES you will play some old stuff!! `cos the new stuff fuckin` sucks!
amen to that beak8 a great track.iron maiden have a huge and impressive back catalogue most fitting of the awesome band that they are.i feel over the last few years their stuff has become a little tired and samey, however i am (now) looking forward to a good gig AND some early stuff!!!
saw them way back in`84 when they were truly awesome.saw them again in `01 and bruce`s attitude was `if you`re here to listen to the old stuff then you can fuck-off!`and then proceeded to vent his spleen about some article written about them in `Q`magazine for 10 minutes!!(`fucking` this and `cunt` that and how he was going to fill the journalist in !) us old fans had our kids with us and could `ve done without his whinning-prat that he is.they lost the plot after `seventh son . .`anyway.
The identity of the character is being held secret by band members. Steve Harris, in an interview given to Kerrang was quoted as saying: "Who is Benjamin Breeg? Ha ha. I'm not telling you." (from wikipedia) R.I.P. Dimebag!
