van halen; take note.

no band in the history of loud music would ever even contemplate this.
get the whole show, the whole fucking lot, including a lot of people.
bung it all into a boeing 757, and fly around the world giving the fans THE SHOW.

i was front row brisbane 12 feb 08, wow. fucking unbelievable.
here is an example of a band that cares for its fans.iron what?

[ashstralia]

great review.

[binnie]

They certainly do care about their fans, and they know how to mix it up enough to keep themselves interested.

[ashstralia]

then brought out the final frontier. and, my friends, they are headlining 'soundwave' here in 22 days. i'll post lots of pics....

[binnie]

I actually found 'The Final Frontier' pretty under-whelming. Admirable ambition, but lacking fire (IMO.)

yes mate, i agree it's not their best album ever; my point is that it exists.

[Seshmeister]

They went to shit after Clive Burr left.

Van Halen take note - sometimes a member of the rhythm section is more important to the sound than you think.

[ashstralia]

and here we arrive at the sesh ash conundrum.
anyone with a functioning set of wetware clearly hears nicko as the superior drummer.

Woah! Massive overstatement. Please explain what is wrong with their '80s output afer Burr left, and their recent albums after the reunion with Dickinson.

While Clive Burr recorded some excellent drums for the first three albums, and I was sad when I heard he was leaving Maiden, I felt much better when I popped POM into the deck...hell, the first track pretty much nailed that fucker shut:

After viewing 666, it's apparent that age has no effect on his stamina, either.
I'm pretty much convinced that Nicko is Maiden's biggest fan...

[Hardrock69]

I agree.

I was 5th row on their 2000 tour in St. Louis.

Man, they kick fucking ass! Woot!

fuck yeah! and i'd like to have a hit of golf with the funny bloke. nicko rules. maiden rules. my whole point here is this is a band giving it's fans the MUSIC.
the good stuff. as i said, they're playing here on 26 feb 11. i'm gonna buy a $20 stubbie cooler and a $50 t shirt.

[Mr Badguy]

I still think "The Final Frontier" is an awesome album.

To each their own, I suppose.

I dunno...while Number of the Best is part of Maiden's (for me) trifecta of top fucking notch IM albums (NotB, PoM, Pwrslv), Burr was only on one of the three.

That they're still out there chugging along and in good form live is pretty astounding.
