Whats the Phantom of the Opera (aka the magnus opus) of videogames?

>dissing on Di'Anno

plebs

Di'anno is a fuckup and a scumbag but there's nothing wrong with the first album/Killers

Phantom of the Opera is my favorite musical but I don't know enough about them to call it a magnum opus

Hallowed Be Thy Name will always be my favorite.

Also why are all of Yea Forumss iron maiden threqds so good and Yea Forums always sucks cock.
Do we have more japs and Brazilians?

i'm real ambivalent about the issue, i like di'anno's snotty punk voice for a lot of the earlier songs but i know there's absolutely no way he could hold a candle to any of the dickinson songs

Scorpions
Iron Maiden
Yngwie Malmsteen
Deep Purple
UFO
Michael Schenker Group
Ozzy
Europe
Kiss
Mr Big

were so big in Japan back in the day, where as America back then was basically:

Guns & Roses
Metallica
Motley Crue
Def Leppard
Aerosmith

When Di'anno joined maiden they got a record deal in three months. MTV made them big.

Newest Priest album kicks ass too.

That song is such a fucking rollercoaster. I feel tired after just listening to it.

I saw them once and I hated it. Nothing but a bunch of drunks shoving each other around and shouting over the music. Hanzi even insulted us by calling us fools after making a reference to The Raistlin Chronicles. They didn't even play Wheel of Time which they played on every other venue and was the only reason I went there that night.

It always bothered me that around somewhere in time the choruses became simply shouting the name of the song multiple times. Felt lazy compared to the previous writing and somewhat ruined the late 80s and 90s albums for me.

Di'Anno was good but he wouldn't have been able to keep up with the constant retooling of the sound Maiden became famous for.

Maybe, but he was punk man to the core. He hated anything metal.

That comment wasn't directed at Maiden, actually. They might have a couple meh songs on an album but many well-regarded bands will have only a few even good songs on an album.

>brazilian chanting

based brother

It's just a shame cause I think it holds back back some otherwise top tier work of theirs.
Powerslave is unquestionably my favorite album, but it's middle portion is a little weak. I always thought peace of mind was their most consistent album.

The only good recent IM album is Brave New World.
Only for I SEE THE GHOST OF NAVIGATORS

>he didnt start from the Hangar level

git gud, that tornado will fuck you up if you dont level up

But that one has the fewest decent songs, ya goof.

Unpopular opinion: Caught Somewhere in Time is my favorite album and Deja Vu is my favorite song.

Also people shit on Blaze but besides Fear of the Dark ( the song), Fear of the Dark (the album) has probably some of their worst songs

am i a pleb for liking megadeth better than metallica?

I actually didn't mind it for seventh son, but the format was so widely used from that point on, and far more often than not the songs would have benefitted from an actual chorus.

Yeah it's Brighter than a Thousand Suns.

you forgot Childhoods End and Judas My Guide as the better songs from that album

He did have a better range but like another user said, his mindset was very Punk and Maiden's direction was practically swinging from classic heavy metal to power metal sometimes.

>recent
>Brave New World is almost 20 years old

I've got a real fucking soft spot for Flash of the Blade.

No, Megadeth is objectively better than Metallica

>Also people shit on Blaze but besides Fear of the Dark ( the song), Fear of the Dark (the album) has probably some of their worst songs
I like From Here to Eternity but I agree with the rest.

Also, I just remembered No Prayer For the Dying exists, so maybe that as well.

No. They’re the better band. And mainly because Lars blows so hard as a drummer. You’ll never hear anything close to as good as Five Magics come from Metallica.

>The keyboardist is also the guy writing the music

Do none of you like Montsegur and Dance of Death?

No Prayer for the Dying is a close second in terms of bad albums but nothing will be worse then the line up of:
>Fear is the Key
>Chains of Misery
>The Apparition
>Weekend Warrior
>Wasting Love

Absolutely unlistenable songs

Paschendale is the best track on that album followed by Dance of Death and Journeyman.

Nah. Been an Iron Maiden fan probably before you were even born. They have had constant ups and downs ever since the late 80s. In the last 30 years since Seventh Son they only had one great album: Brave New World. The rest had 1-2 good songs here and there.
The Book of Souls is the Load of Iron Maiden. I tried to give it a chance, or maybe myself by trying to listen to it 5-6 times in hopes it might click. Now I only listen to it when I'm constipated and need to take a long, painful shit.

Steve Harris steering this band into this overindulgence of overlong theatrical ballads for the past 10 years, where he tries to up the playtime of each song just for the sake of it has only done harm to the band. It also absolutely ruins the concerts imo, because that certain frantic "BE QUICK OR BE DEAD" atmosphere of the early Maiden albums that pumps the audience up with each song just never comes through.
If you want to visit an Iron Maiden concert these days don't forget to pop some valium pills. It's dreadful all around.

I fucking love Blazon Stone. So high energy. Fire the Cannons and No Return from Hell are some of my favorite songs

My point is that calling prog metal better than what's essentially melodic prog metal is a bit silly.

I'm just going to leave this here.

You are neglecting the scale and devaluing the word. Progress was made in the developing of subgenres, of course, but nowhere near the level of what actually gets labeled as progressive. Prog is called prog because it varies so much and intermittently pulls from so many disparate sources as to defy unification under a new named genre.

I've never met a single person in my life who dislikes this album.

Any album with Battery is bad. What a shitter of a song.

I enjoyed the final frontier and book of souls but christ someone needs to walk into the studio and hit Harris with a brick and say “songs done, it’s been 6 minutes”

The alchemist from Final Frontier is one of my favorite songs off that album and it’s 4 minutes+ long

Megadeth had some bad years but it seems to be back to form. Metallica is just boring. I hate the dad rock meme but every time i hear them it just sounds like dad rock.

>back to form
Honestly all the big 4 has at most 3 good albums each

Kiko saved Megadeth. They are now better than the last 20 years.

RtL is better. git gud

Unpopular opinion but I think that Rust is the only good Megadeth album. Everything else sounds really drugged up if that makes any sense.
To me, yes but I’m biased.

Probably because Ride the Lightning is the superior album.

You are a retard if you don't think Metallica and Guns and roses were not bigger than any of the bands you named in japan.

You are a faggot that thinks happy metal is manly when Manowar were just one step below Motley crue when it comes to shittyness. There's a reason why no one takes them seriously, even Angra and Strato had been more influential. Manowarfags are either teens that think metal makes them part of a tribe, or manchildren that can't go past entry level melodic happy shit.

Always wondered why this guy's vocals are so underrated.
youtube.com/watch?v=V9Gme_E8ZWk

Saw them in 2017. Still as great as ever I see.

It's a shame the band setlist sucks so much live, currently they play the same shit in every date of their tours so the songs they are playing are the same, last time i went to see them was during the 7th son anniversity tour, they didn't play INFINITE FUCKING DREAMS. The fanbase of maiden seems to be happy with Bruce running around like a retard singing Run to the Hills again instead of trying to actually dig into their massive catalog. The sad thing about dickinson, is that he still has a great voice, but he insists on doing a "show" when he clearly it's getting to old to both RUN and sing, i want him singing, not playing around with a flag anymore. IMO The Clairvoyant and stuff like Alexander or wasted love should replace shit that he can barely sing anymore like Aces high.

Manowar were good on their first album. Typical to say, but it's true. Songs like Shell Shock were hard, the demo version. Crue were alright. But again, first album and Shout era only, everthing from 1986 to present has been Hard Rock Metal. Nothing wrong with that.

Metal killed itself, man. It's greatest strength (hardest, fastest, most skilled, most brutal) was its biggest weakness. It became so rigid, it got rigormotis. I still love it, though, even the newer shit.

yup, only time ive seen them do a good set list is rock in rio

My favorites. But NotB with DiAnno wouldn't've worked. Metal changed in 82'. You can hear it. Everyone followed the Heaven and Hell sound. No way DiAnno could've hacked it in the direction the Maiden was going in. If Maiden got even heavier towards thrash influences, however, he would've been at home, imo. But nwobhm bands rarely did that.

They were so close with the LotB setlist. Where Eagles Dare, Clansman, Revelations, Sign of the Cross and Flight of Icarus were great additions, just needed to drop a few songs like Run to the Hills, Iron Maiden (although sadly they'll never drop that one), 2MTM, Wicker Man and Trooper for something a bit more fresh. Hallowed and FotD will never get old for me so they can stay. I'd love for them to delve into Somewhere in Time a bit more, maybe open with CSiT, Stranger in a Strange Land somewhere in there. Just something that isn't Wasted Years or god forbid, Heaven Can Wait. It is a shame that they have so many classics that don't see the light of day so they can play 2MTM, Trooper, etc for the thousandth time.

Who the hell underrates his vocals. It's like 95% of what people like about him.

If dickinson wasn't a prick the "legacy of the beast" tour could have 3 singers, just like Helloween's Pumkin united tour. But between Bruce being egotistical and Paul being both a dick and a criminal that will never happen. Blaze was the good guy all along

Heaven can wait was literally designed so it could be played live and people could sing along though.

Rime of the ancient mariner never

Fear of the Dark has 4 shit songs, 4 ok songs, and 4 songs that rock my fucking socks off.
Sure Wasting Love eats, but you got Fugitive and Chains of Misery coming right up.

Dance of death is good too, shit album art though

Found a Japanese power metal band called Anthem a little while ago and they're surprisingly good.

youtube.com/watch?v=nbWZyckRepY

>Also people shit on Blaze
It's Brucefags, they are retarded, all the problems with his albums come from the rest of the band, and the live setlists, he can sing the shit out of Dianno''s songs and can do great Dickinson ones, But maiden songwriting was weak in virtual XI and they refused to change the tune. This is cheating since it's rumored many of the songs from Brave new world were actually done with Blaze in mind (with based Gers saying someone wasn't credited and then that there was a problem with the credits in that album). youtube.com/watch?v=Lju5yaKglr8 Making him sing stuff like run to the hills instead of wasted years was such a retarded thing, Ripper owens was fine in Judas becase they changed the tune and Ripper wasn't forced to sing stuff he couldn't shine on. I'm glad Bruce cameback, but it was unfair to blame Blaze for some really retarded shit Maiden was doing.

I mean I don't hear anybody talking about him except on videos of his songs and stuff like that. Not even a passing mention. Hell, I only ran into someone on Yea Forums who even knew who he was a few weeks ago.

>Gloryhammer

Gonna check out Gloryhammer this year in KC. Sad I missed them last year with Alestorm.

The problem wasnt Blaze, was Harris and the lack of Smith.
Such a fantastic trilogy, the only bad blaze album since 2004 was KoM, but every other album has been better than anything maiden has done since Dance of Death.

That depends, do you like Metallica too? You're only a pleb if you feel like you have to pick one band over the other. Megadeth has the more technical sound, but Hetfield for sure has the better voice. Both bands have some pretty shit material, but both also have some great albums. Killing is my Business and ...And Justice for All are two of my favorite albums.

Not really. They have cool videos playing but kind of pedestrian when we saw them last Summer. The set also kind of meandered from their more chill stuff to Murder of the Universe stuff. Still recommend seeing them live if you get the chance, it was a really good show despite my nitpicks. I'm just getting to be too much of an old shut in for shirtless """""dancing"""" with a bunch of zoomers on mdma.

no idea wtf Iron Maiden is, but the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical is amazing.

I don't think anything Megadeth put out could ever compare to the fucking dumpster fire that was Lulu.

They are all inferior to the originals. That man on the edge is pretty shitty, his lord of the flies was pathetic, too happy. His Clansman is pretty good, but his sign of the cross is pretty bad, great concert tho.
But Blaze is way better with his material, most songs are meant to be darker and heavier. Just like i don't want Blaze singing the duellists i would hate Bruce on this song, it's too heavy for dickinson
youtube.com/watch?v=tukA2ZYQzaI

Lulu wasn't a metallica album.

amount of such stuff on this cover is insane, there's:
- icarus (flight of icarus)
- pyramids and eye of ra (powerslave)
- early iron maiden poster
- "ancient mariner seafood restaurant"
- "phantom opera hause"
- "aces high bar"
- "long beach area" where they recorded 'live after death'

Lets not get ahead of ourselves here.

Supercollider wasn't great and the only song they have since 2010 that I'd go out of my way to listen to is public enemy no 1, whereas Metallica got back into form with hardwired.

>All this arguing back and forth over covers
>No live version of When Two Worlds Collide, and there never will be one
Shame

Megadeth got back with Dystopia

When the Wild Wind Blows is objectively one of the best songs they have ever done.

I agree, Supercollider was inferior to Hardwired, dystopua was fine, but still not that good
Yeah, but i can't say the same about almost anything else they had done since Dance. Book was a pretty meh album and that sucks.

Bigger boards are usually good at talking about anything BUT their topic.

It's decent, but there aren't any songs that really got me, and nothing in the same tier as rust in peace, cryptic writings, or so far so good

Since Dance of Death is only 3 albums, and Final Frontier did have some really good songs, I wasn't huge on isle of avalon, or mother of mercy, but Starblind is really good, as is the alchemist and I have a bit of a soft spot for Man Who would be King

Still not a metallica album, not even Reed's fans think matallica is to blame for how much of a mess that album was. Dio's tribute and the deep purple cover had better sound, i have no idea what went wrong but it was so stupid and is a shame Reed's latest years were stained by that shit

There's better bassist and better songwriters than him.
