being released a day in advance of their "Final Frontier" tour kicking off, thought it appropriate not only to ask opinions of the track, but also some Maiden related stuff in general.
"El Dorado" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss46iEaBc2g (I had to listen a few times to really get the feel)
but it also got me in a doodling mood...... http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll243/killerpeaches7/IMG_0002-6-2.jpg so I decided to combine elements of THE TROOPER with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ai-PEQzaj6c THE LONGEST DAY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSJ8rDlBZ_I
MQ- Thoughts on the new single? (not the first to ask, but oh well) MQ2- General thoughts on Maiden since Bruce returned in 2000? MQ3- First Maiden album you ever got? MQ4- Favorite version of Eddie? MQ5- Opinion on the new "version" of Eddie? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/86/The_Final_Frontier_cover.jpg
BQ- Comments on my drawing? Criticisms, etc?

Favorite Answer
MQ: It takes them a couple minutes, but when the song kicks into gear it's classic Maiden MQ2: Anything with Bruce is good with me, even their more prog-leaning albums. I do feel a little bad for Blaze though. He never seemed like a bad guy (unlike Paul who's an a**hole), he just came into the band at a very low creative point. I think he takes an unfair amount of heat for some crappy albums. MQ3: Powerslave MQ4: The Sanctuary cover where he kills Margaret Thatcher and Women In Uniform where Maggie gets her revenge MQ5: I like the new cover. Looks a little cartoony, but not bad.
BQ: I think the British would've fared much differently in the Charge of the Light Brigade if they had Eddie packing heat
MQ: I really like the new single. I went looking for it today but failed in finding it. I am very much looking forward to the new CD.
MQ2: I love all the newer Maiden albums with Bruce. I am glad they did not try to redo their older stuff but just made quality metal. I think they made the smart move, if they had tried to do a Number Of the Beast 2 it would have been a failure, maybe lol. It is hard to imagine them doing any wrong.
MQ3: I think it was Powerslave but it might have been Piece of mind. That was a long time ago lol
MQ4: My favorite art work and eddie has always been the single for Stranger in a Strangeland.
MQ5: Honestly it is one of my least favorite...but hey it is still Eddie.
MQ: Awesome, it doesn't stray from the stuff Maiden does but is still original. MQ2: SUPER AWESOME! I really love the fact that he actually flys the 757 (yes it's a 757) that they tour all over the world in. MQ3: The Number of the beast when I was 8 or so...it was a CD BTW, I'm not an ancient fan of Maiden I'm 14 :P MQ4: The Egyptian Eddie from the somewhere back in time tour. MQ5: It's cool but I think they tried too hard to have it different from the other Eddies.
MQ: I like it, but it's a grower. More I listen, the more I like it. MQ2: I generally listen to the older stuff, but I find that post 2000 Maiden is good, but they seem a bit slower than before. maybe it's the longer songs and slower vocals? MQ3: Powerslave. I love it, listen to it on every road trip. MQ4: I really like the Eddie that appears on "Piece of Mind", mainly because he looks insane. But Eddie also looks cool on Somewhere Back In Time, Killers, Powerslave, and The Number of The Beast. MQ5: I don't love the new Eddie so much. He looks too diminished. Like someone ripped off his skin and cut some parts off of him. And what's up with his teeth? I know he's British and all, but still... The eyes are menacing though, so he's got that going for him.
BQ: I love it. It's friggin' fantastic my friend. I might draw an Eddie doodle in my next spare... One time I did a sketch of Eddie (TNOTB version, arm extended and everything) grabbing Vic Rattlehead's head by the rattles. It was simple, but quite epic.
MA: The new single is good. It's different. But i hope that it is not the best track in the album. MA2:: Bruce = Iron Maiden for me. MA3: Powerslave MA4: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b4/Iron_Maiden_Killers.jpg (good old' Eddie) MA5: The version is pretty good. A little futuristic. But i prefer the older Eddie.
