Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden Reviews

Iron Maidennnnn Flight 666..........
Aug 12, 2009 05:13 PM 1145 Views

Iron Maiden Flight 666 is adocumentary about the legendary British rock band’s one of its kindsconcert tour titled ‘Somewhere Back in Time’ where the bandperformed in 13 countries, flew their own jet also landing in Azerbaijan andPapua New Guinea en route for fuel stops, travelling 50, 000 miles(70, 000 km)and performing to almost half a million fans across the globe!


The Band which got the rocklovers addicted to it in the 80’s show how their fan followinghasn’t diminished a bit in spite of the members having aged and now intheir 50’s during this tour that happed in 2008.


Along with giving you a minuteto minute detail of the Rock band’s record tour, Canadian filmmakers SamDunn and Scot McFadyen also give you an insight into the lives of Iron Maiden, the people behind the stars and their followers who worship them and considerthe band as their religion.


Therocumentary is about the band as they are today and not what they used to be 20years back, so what we see is a wiser and milder version of the stars who playGolf, love to spend time alone or wander around looking for peace andsatisfaction in life in their free time. No drugs, sex exist in the film as onewould expect it to be.


Thefilm will definitely appeal to Maiden fans as it has ample of their heavy metalmusic but it will also ‘maidenise’ those who’ve beenunfamiliar with the band, all thanks to its members and their philosophies inlife.


The lead singer lovesflying planes other than singing as it makes him realize how flying planes isabout submitting yourself to things that are not in your control after a while.


Each band member has their owndistinct personality traits that influences the way they make their music andplay their instruments.


Theband’s ardent fans and their confessions and passion for the band leaveyou teary-eyed.


The film kicksoff in Mumbai which is the best part for the Indian fans as many fans canactually spot themselves in the film.


Nothing but the length of thefilm is what makes it a bit monotonous towards the end and thus a drag.


Watch the film to know whatlies beneath the success of a legendary band, whether you like Maiden or not.

Heavy metal STARTS HERE

After I got a considerable response for my selection of - Best of Iron Maiden - album wise!, I decided to review every album of iron maiden individually


First album - No bruce, No adrian, No nicko.. that doesnt sound like maiden?


Well we forget a genius who created this great heavy metal band - Steve Harris


Isnt he enough to produce classics? Also supported by his right hand and the able Dave murray!


The drummer - clive burr was technically excellent who was replaced by nicko later during the piece of mind era.


Paul dianno did a fair job but didnt impress me that much in this album


1) Prowler - Well.. After the first piece of guitar, I hear something like a mike feedback. Yes, I am talking about the production.. sounds lousy. But cant take credits away from the track.


Paul Dianno doesnt sound as though he is singing for a heavy metal band!


Song gains momentum but lacks power from the vocalist


Rating - 8.5/10


2)Sanctuary - First single released. Not maiden's finest hour in my opinion. Just same some very ''plain'' riffs and leads. Didnt like the song and the song never grows on you. Just an ''ok'' track


Rating - 5/10


3)Remember tomorrow - Wait a min.. Have I decreased my volume.??????


Hell no.. A sudden intrusion into my ear drums by deadly riffs.. and the end part is ''filled'' with faced paced riffs


Paul dianno's voice suits this track and does a good work on this song


Rating - 8.5/10


4)Running free - Ok! Get ready for a difference in opinion.


I dont like this track as much as my friends do! The live version is much much better. Song starts with a drum into, followed by bass. I thought a ''wrathchild'' with a similar concept worked much better.


Again production is pretty horrible which makes the riffs sound like ''the way children mimic a train''


Rating 8/10


5)Phantom of the Opera - Wow! This is what I call MUSIC! A flawless song, which keeps hitting u harder, the more and more u listen to it


Excellent excellent time changes, especially the mid section when a bass pattern is followed by twin leads is - ABSOLUTE GENIUS.


End solos by murray and stratton are mind blowing


A MASTERPIECE - which remains as one of Maiden's greatest songs even after 25 years.


Rating - 10/10


6)Transylvania - Maiden's first instrumental track. 20 seconds into the song, a classic riff pattern.. which again changes pattern in 1:36 into the song. The song progressively gains momentum.


Clive burr is rock solid in this song - seems like he has some 4 hands or something


Amazing song!


Rating - 9.8/10


7)Strange world - Maiden goes quiet again. Well if u happen to listen to the song for the first time, u would wonder - ''damn man.. doesnt sound anything like heavy metal''.


Not that heavy metal demands monster riffs - this song is not in the realm of metal by any means


Rating - 6/10


8)Charlotte the harlot - Again the drive of the song never fancies me to listen to it over and over again. When u listen to the middle section alone it sounds as though u r listening to some ''slow rock''.


But wait.. the end section has some killer riffs...


Thank God.. didnt seem as bad as it was in the beginning


Rating - 7/10


9)Iron maiden - Maiden sure knows how to end an album. In fact with this song they end almost every show with antics like throwing the guitar high in the air and catching them.


First dave starts with his guitar.. then the next guitar.. boy! its too good


Also the mid section has just the bass and drums playing - then its back to the riff they play in the beginning. Amazing


Rating 9.8/10


To rate the album overall - I have to take these issues under consideration


1) production - really horrible


2) vocals - sounds daft


3) phantom of the opera - makes up for the two above


Overall rating - 8.5/10
