Not fashionable but I am impressed.  Prime DC was unbelievably good IMO. Saw them at Donnington in 1990 but by then his voice had gone.

When I was 14yrs old I really thought that I was the Child of Babylon.

The guy from The Union has a similar voice but only a few of the songs really bang it out.

Phil was very all around:  singing, playing and songwriting, but, it's hard to call him the best at any one thing, as opposed to Hendrix, who many believe is the greatest guitarist of all time. I actually went back and forth about the bassist. I thought about Jack Bruce, Andy Fraser, Chris Squire and Larry Graham.

No such issue about the Vocalist.  Rodgers, IMO, is the starting Singer of any rock all star band.

And that's pretty much it - drums should rarely shape a song; they should complement it.

Also, he relies too much on the tribal rhythm bullshit, rock is blues-based.

I suppose that's fair, but I think talentwise, he's one of the, if not the best of all time.

I hear that, see it in drummer polls and such. Not sure why, though. He's figured out the single-stroke roll is all. Fantastic, what else?

Every drummer anywhere will tell you the song comes first - that subtlety and nuance matter. But they seem to forget this when they praise Moon.

Funny, At the time you posted this I was like no way because I kept thinking of Bruce now that he's older and cant sing like his younger days.


...but lately I've been listening to ''Piece of Mind" and you're right. I forgot what a awesome singer he was back in the day!

When I first heard Number of the Beast, I was a youngster and was absolutely blown away by Bruce... From then until probably Fear of the Dark, I thought he was just the best thing I had ever heard.

His Accident of Birth Album was also really good, but yeah, today, his voice is just older and run down, it's not his fault, dude is gotta be pushing 60 by now.

Age gets us all.

GNR 1986.   Wouldn't change a thing.

Yup. For me, they were the epitome of rock n roll music and excess. Except for Axl they were all unremarkable on their own, but together they just kicked ass.

This is a very impressive performance of a very hard song to sing by 63 year old Mickey Thomas.

I don't think I could choose between Number of the Beast and Piece of Mind but the production of Piece of Mind is just awesome. every instrument sounds great.

Totally understand.

I have every Album Maiden ever released and for me, It would be tough to choose between almost anything between Number of the Beast and Fear of the Dark, (Except for No Prayer for the Dying)

I really did not like that album.

The Live After Death IS the greatest live album I've ever heard in my life though.

Saw them live this year and Bruce still sounds incredible, especially considering his age and the fact that his adventure with cancer a few months ago.
Live After Death is indeed the best live album ever.
