Jel' se vi to ozbiljno raspravljate oko toga da li su bolji Metallica ili Maideni?

 

Ajmo sad, Suffocation vs. Behemoth i Frost vs. Kollias pa nek' se nosi sve u pizdu materinu.

 

A je l' ti zaista to ozbiljno pitas?

 

Inace,ti sabanski bendovi koje si naveo nisu ni za kurac,a ne za komparaciju.

Maideni su mi u samom vrhu omiljenih bendova i svaki njihov koncert koji sam gledao je bio spektakl, ali je ovogodišnji koncert Metallice u Zagrebu za mene bio najbolji na kome sam bio u životu. Međutim, kada je u pitanju komunikacija sa publikom, masovni koncerti se ne mogu porediti sa koncertima u manjim prostorima. Jednostavno ne mogu. Kad imaš publiku od 20-30 hiljada, normalno je da te najveći deo gleda iz daljine, a posle koncerta bežiš od njih, jer razumljivo ne bi mogao da im posvetiš vreme. Kad imaš publiku od par stotina vatrenih fanova, kao što su imali Grave Digger ili Doro Pesch u Zagrebu, to je sasvim druga priča i to treba doživeti ako hoćete da znate šta je prava neposrednost u komunikaciji benda i publike.

Živa istina. Mislim da je od koncerata koje sam gledao u manjim prostorijama najbolju komunikaciju sa publikom imao Blaze Bayley, no surprises there. :zeleni: Što se tiče velikih koncerata, Slipknot je bio fenomenalan po pitanju odnosa sa masom, ali ni Maideni svakako nisu zanemarljivi.

Uporedi show mejdena i metalike, ako ne vidis razliku onda moje saucesce tvojim roditeljima :) i ne samo sada kada imaju kinte da uloze vec i kada se ceo bend vozo u krntiji po engleskoj...pogledaj THE EARLY YEARS - tu ces da vidis koliko je energije trebalo da taj bend uopste ikada zaživi i koliko su bili teški ti počeci, kada nisu imali prebijene pare, a sta god da su zaradjivali na svirkama ulagali su odmah u svoj nastup...

 

Tacno tako. Maideni imaju neuporedivo bolji show od Metallice, ali im je zato qrac ozvucenje. Bend tog kalibra bi ipak trebao da imama mnoooooooooogo ali mnooooooogo bolje ozvucenje. Metallici se jebe za show na bini, njima je bitno da se cisto i jasno cuje zvuk bubnja i svake gitare. Jebe se meni za show na bini i za Gersa kad vrti onu gitaru oko sebe i pogresi sve note. Meni su Maideni drazi bend ali ipak Metallica ima mnogo bolje koncerte od Maidena.

The Final Frontier - Track by track review my Metal Hammer magazine

 

SATELLITE 15…THE FINAL FRONTIER

 

Everyone has heard the album’s title track by now, and it’s a straightforward and infectious slab of muscular hard rock that seems destined to open Maiden shows for the foreseeable future…but it’s the first part of this bi-polar album opener that is going to blow fans’ minds. A disorientating maelstrom of swirling distortion, thudding double kicks and bizarre spectral vocals, Satellite 15 is undoubtedly the weirdest thing the band have ever recorded. It’s heavy, it’s left-field and it’s utterly unexpected.

 

EL DORADO

 

Opinion seems to be divided about whether El Dorado is simply a solid, straightforward Maiden tune or something genuinely special. In fact, it’s a bit of both; a bold and boisterous seven-minute epic with an infectious chorus and a few deftly-executed twists and turns, all custom-built to go down an absolute storm live.

 

MOTHER OF MERCY

 

A dark and menacing song that could easily have been on A Matter Of Life And Death, this is one of those archetypal horrors-of-war anthems that Maiden do so well. It starts with a faintly proggy intro – a whiff of Steve Harris’ beloved Jethro Tull, perhaps – before morphing into a brooding, slow-motion gallop, not a million miles from Stranger In A Strange Land (from Somewhere In Time), but with a much more sinister overall vibe. “Sick of all the killing and the reek of death…” sings Bruce at one point.

 

COMING HOME

 

A bombastic, lighters-in-the-air ballad with a difference, Coming Home marries a giant, sing-along chorus to some subtly progressive riffs and a typically adventurous arrangement. Undeniably sentimental, this is plainly Bruce Dickinson’s song, as he sings about returning home and seeing the lights on the runway as his plane descends to Earth. Not many bands could pull this off without setting off the cheese alarm. Maiden do it brilliantly. A live classic in the making.

 

THE ALCHEMIST

 

Arguably the most old fashioned song on the album, this punchy four-minute burst of speed, energy and irresistible Lizzy-esque lead guitar harmonies would have fit neatly onto Fear Of The Dark and nimbly ticks all the necessary boxes to please the die-hards. Interestingly, this has the same title as a song from Bruce Dickinson’s classic solo album Chemical Wedding. The two songs are utterly dissimilar, however.

 

ISLE OF AVALON

 

Possibly the finest thing on The Final Frontier and certainly one of the strongest songs Maiden have produced in years, Isle Of Avalon takes the band into unfamiliar melodic territory, with a few unconventional time signatures and proggy detours adding to the intense freshness that pervades throughout its nine minute duration, and a simply enormous chorus that will surely translate extremely well live. There’s a vague hint of Paschendale (from 2003’s Dance Of Death) and a nod or two to Maiden’s Somewhere In Time album here.

 

STARBLIND

 

Another song that is full of surprises, despite Maiden’s unmistakable sound, this is another epic that brims with great riffs, melodies and subtle textural touches. Almost psychedelic in places, Starblind has a genuinely otherworldly feel, particularly during its intricate midsection which boasts a phenomenal bluesy lead break over some sumptuous, mellow guitar work from the Three Amigos.

 

THE TALISMAN

 

Another song that would have fit on A Matter Of Life And Death, The Talisman is dark and complex, but it also flows beautifully, spreading out from its folky intro into a powerful main verse riff and a seriously explosive chorus with Bruce bellowing at the top of his not inconsiderable lungs. Despite being nine minutes long, this one whizzes by in what seems like half that time.

 

THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING

 

An eerie, unsettling intro leads into some crushing, doomy chords before this sprawling epic switches direction and heads into a superbly catchy and muscular verse riff and another big chorus. Like many songs on The Final Frontier, The Man Who Would Be King seldom does exactly what you would expect, and yet it all makes perfect sense by the time its rambling, harmony-packed intro fades gently away…

 

WHEN THE WILD WIND BLOWS

 

Based on author Raymond Briggs’ grim post-nuclear fallout graphic novel (When The Wind Blows), the final track on Maiden’s 15th album is every bit as bleak and unnerving as its subject matter would seem to demand, and yet this is as musically fascinating and lyrically brave as anything the band have recorded. Densely-layered and uncompromising, this one will take a few listens to sink in, but there is an insane amount of atmosphere and countless inspired melodic touches on display here. A stunning finale.

Fina pesma ova The Final Frontier, lep hard rock feeling, dobre melodije u strofama, dosta zarazna pesma. Bila bi, naravno, mnogo bolja da ima nekih varijacija u refrenu... Bolja od El Dorado (ironicno, u toj pesmi refren je mnogo bolji od strofa).

Obe pesme imaju sjajne solaze...

jeste smesan. mada drugaciji je nego sto se ocekivalo, mnogo fanova je slalo svoje predloge i bilo je tu svacega, mnogo dobrih predloga, ali sve na slicnu foru, mislim da su nas iznenadili sa ovim comic/cartoon pristupom, malo podseca na SEVENT SON... ali taj je ipak najbolji omot ikada, ukljucujuci sve omote za singlove na tu temu :)

Jedini bend koji je uspeo da izbalansira koliko da ostavi starog a ubaci novog. Stalno se menja i stalno napreduje taman koliko treba :) Sigurno ce i novi album nastaviti tradiciju, zasto sumnjati u bend posle 30 godina sjajnih albuma?!
