Love that album, going to add it after my current queue, I have not heard it in ages.
There are good and bad live albums, when they are done well they can be outstanding, just so many are done badly
Donât know Royal Hunt so going to add one of them as well

Spun up some Royal Hunt via Spotify via my Echo Dot while doing the " honeydew" list in the house.
Sounds similar to Shadow Gallery for sure.
Looks like 16 albums on Qobuz to work through

However now I have a few minutes to sit down and relax I decided to try one of the tapes I bought last week.
Sounds freaking awesome!
I totally forgot that album and only now realized I have not listened to it since my cassette copy wore out years ago. I never replaced it. I will have to rectify that immediately.
I use bone induction headphones on my bike to be safe, but Maiden would not have enough bass to be truly enjoyable with those so itâs mostly podcasts.
Maiden would be great on headphones with proper bass though (especially on a downhill run)

Them thar Steve Harris riffs on a full blown system can start the windows bowingâŚ
Much fun!
I have never tried the bone induction headphones. I have some Bose soundsport headphones and just keep the volume down low enough to hear what is going on around me. What I call the classic Maiden horse gallop drum beat makes for a good cadence on the bike.

Ah good old Nicko McBrainless drumming is quite something.
Useless factoidâŚhe has a BBQ restaurant in Coconut Creek right here in Florida!
I learned to love Maiden during my military school times - great lyrics, many of them based on real historical facts, played by a bunch of really smart and cultured guys.
Agreed. I remember after taking Latin (and the subsequent exposure to some Greek and Roman mythology) being struck by Flight of Icarus in particular at the time.
What an amazingly great live album - just listening to Children of the Damned on my Aeon 2 Closed cans (my little boy is already asleep, so no way to use speakers) gives me goose bumps - Maiden is simply the best metal band of all time.

I cant stand rap but I do like this album even with elements of it.

I canât remember the last time I saw anybody mention Saliva.
I saw them live about 4 years back.
Have that album and 4 or 5 others of theirs.
Rap metal?
Nu metal?
