me too, an underrated album no doubt! btw there are and will be lots of other vids in our channel, if you Subscribe you help us a lot!! :-)

Not a bad album "per se": it just had the bad luck to come after Somewhere in time and 7th Son! But if you listen to some randomic playlists of maiden (I mean with songs not ordered by timeline), tracks from No Prayer do not seem so bad in the end.

absolutely, I'd say some kind of "pop" sensibility. thanks for commenting, btw please subscribe so you help us grow! :-)

I totally agree with you! Iron Maiden was much more metal with Adrian! He was sorely missed in the 90s.

Adrian was and is again , a catalyst in Maiden. He takes them somewhere else in musically and song writing wise. He isn't a Metal guitarist per se, or a fast player/shredder. He is a more measured and melodic player. Bruce sums him up on the Flight 666 documentary when he says "Adrian just picks notes out of the air and nobody knows how he does it, because only Adrian can do it." Maiden lost far more when Adrian left, than they ever did when Bruce left. This takes nothing away from Janick Gers, who is a fine guitar player and the 3 Amigos work so well together.

I miss him in the later Maiden productions... thanks for commenting! btw please subscribe so you help us grow! :-)

Martin added a warmth and dynamic to Maiden that Kevin S just can't capture. My opinion.

He was wasn't he? So great.

@@TheChadTI Yes, he was. I have albums of Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Black Sabbath and Whitesnake that Martin Birch produced. He was such an amazing producer.

He absolutely was. RIP Sir Martin

I like it's raw, stipped down sound. It has more of a Rock n Roll feel than a Metal feel.

@@richiesimons4403 true, did you know however, that mother Russia is considered the song that pushed a lot of bands into the goth metal genre. It has a great rock feel to the songs though.. mother Russia though was very gothic

I think many bands have reacted with a "basic rock album" after a "perhaps too pretentious rock album". metallica with the black album went that way somehow I think. it's not the way I personally like, I think basic is magic when it is what it is, basic, and not thought to be basic. anyway thanks for commenting and sorry for being late, please subscribe for more stuff and iron maiden debate! :-)

​@@HangTheDjTVthat's a great point. I really like that. Being basic for the sake of being basic is just as bad as being complicated for the sake of it, or speed for the sake of it etc

Wow.

me too! thanks for commenting, btw please subscribe so you help us grow! :-)

Masterpiece player? He some great songs to his name but he’s not as good as Dave and Adrian. That’s just fact

@@zenvultra NOTHING involving someone’s appreciation of a manifestation of art is a “fact” my friend

Jan is a GREAT songwriter and a good guitarrist on studio albums, my """problems""" with him are: 1 - his guitar tone which I absolutely hate (Adrian, on the other hand, has THE BEST guitar tone in heavy metal!); 2 - he's INCREDIBLY sloppy live...in spite of his attempts to counteract this sloppiness with his awesome stage presence, which I love, I hate when he butchers Adrian's former solos...all in all, still a great addition to Maiden...I think the three guitars line-up works incredibly well

thanks for commenting, btw please subscribe so you help us grow! :-)

Incredibly curious of your reaction and feelings upon hearing this when it was released!

thanks for commenting! btw please subscribe so you help us grow :-)

Piece of Mind?! Not even close! Their last straight forward album was Seventh Son of a Seventh Son! And No Prayer For the Dying was far from a vital part of their catalog! They haven't played ANY of the songs from that album for MANY YEARS!

that tour was my first time, in barcelona, with anthrax opening, will never forget that! thanks for commenting, please subscribe so you help this grow! :-)

He was about 34 in this clip 😂

Hes looking his age now.

RIP

Hasn't changed hairstyles or choice of apparel at all

yes, I wonder how he must be as a boss cause he looks like a lifetime zen master...! thanks for commenting, please subscribe so you help this grow! :-)

Yeah, he almost did not age at all. Some wrinkles here and there but he still looks the same as in the 80s and the 90s.

Look again, hes looking his age now.

He retired too early. 1992- Fear Of The Dark was the last one. Unless he done the couple live albums after I’m not sure.

thanks for commenting! btw please subscribe so you help us grow! :-)

the made it the simpler way as metallica on the black album, after a monumental album like and justice, or in this case seventh son, but with a much lower quote of success I guess... oh, and thanks for commenting, btw please subscribe so you help us grow! :-)

I miss his touch in the modern maiden records

And Adrian Smith wrote it before he left the band in 89'.

have you checked the new Maiden Man video we've uploaded?

@@a.kguitars930 Actually Bruce and Adrian co-wrote it, like they've done with a lot of other Maiden songs.

RiP.

Can I play with my nads?

thanks for commenting! btw please subscribe so you help us grow! :-)

Yeah there's no need for that. Adrian was and is central to Maiden.

@@garymitchell5899 steve can be an asshole at times same as bruce

I don't think Steve is running Adrian down at all. Janick was used to being the sole Guitarist in White Spirit and Gillan so was used to doing solos. All Steve said was Adrian initially was more rhythm and harmony which in his book he talks about being a front man in Urchin he was happy doing. Joining Maiden he had to quickly adapt and play more solos which he did brillianty and as Steve said he was a great songwriter and backing singer. Hardly doing him down.

@@gazelliott2414 yes but bruce in particular comes off as a complete know it all dick head to me.

@@gazelliott2414 Unfortunately that's what being the controlling person in a band is about at times, you're trying to hold together a vision it often involves being a bit of a control freak, when someone lets you down it feels personal.

Still better than The Book of Souls

​@@bernabefernandeztouceda7315seriously? I think you need to upgrade your headphones😂

@@metalEric69 nah, I wanted to say senjutsu

Hardly. The album was almost played entirely live. Fun fact: no prayer was the album with the most played songs live on the tour since Piece of mind

three better than two! thanks for commenting! btw please subscribe so you help us grow! :-)

No. They had much more energy from 1981-1989. After that, they became mellower.

hahaha thanks for commenting, btw please subscribe so you help us grow! :-)

Disagree. Maiden was more than any one member.

thanks for commenting! btw please subscribe so you help us grow! :-)

Yeah. I totally agree with you. Maiden truly lost their identity, when Adrian left the band. And even more, when Bruce left the band.

I prefer adrian to janik definitely.

haha possibly! btw please subscribe to our channel so you help us grow! :-)

Atonal isn't the same as out of key. He's more of a noise maker, but I'd rather have that different style in there than both guitarists sounding exactly the same. Also "better" is subjective.

Yeah. Adrian is a much better guitar player than Janick will ever be!

@@nebularain3338 “noise maker” isn’t really good enough when you’re playing in a band with Dave Murray and Adrian Smith

@@davidoriordan1393 Yeah. And Nebula Rain clearly don't know what he's talking about, because Janick's guitar playing sounds more like Dave's, although much sloppier. Adrian's guitar playing is in a more blues sounding way. Janick is a Dave wannabe. So he's basically saying that he rather wants a Adrian and Dave duo than a Janick and Dave duo. 😂

I agree... but Janick is like a more... "vivid" person I'd say? btw I have tons more of vids in my channel, if you Subsribe you'll help me a lot. thanks!! :-)

Agree

You can add another 0 to that number.

@@MrDantres Or two 0!

Here we are years later and the Adrian VS Janick argument is still going. There is NO comparing those 2 because they are 2 different lead players. There, enough said!

That being said_ Killers had some songs that were played live for a few years, with far more time to be improved before entering the studio.

thanks for commenting! btw please subscribe so you help us grow! :-)

Lol! There's worse songs on the X Factor and Virtual XI! And by the way. Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter is the ONLY Iron Maiden that had ever reached number 1 on the British music charts!

Yeah, apparently Steve wanted to go back to the more ‘raw sound’ of earlier albums ‘cause they were getting mixed reviews on their ‘prog’ sounding albums (SIT and Seventh Son) 🤷🏻‍♂️

Janick was still a pretty good guitarist and a composer actually. But yes, Harris lost the plot completely on this album.

i still kept an eye on them until fear of the dark, just by inertia until the Bayley clash. but I find a couple of underrated songs in this album Run silent run deep and The Assassin. thanks a lot for commenting and please susbscribe for more Maiden videos (check last one: Maiden Man)

thanks for commenting, btw please subscribe so you help us grow! :-)

Correction: A few years later

That's a good song anyway.

Good song with a killer solo😁

Referring to the mainstream looking music video which Bruce is calling crap here, but then they made one. Song is not bad

@@FroMarty I remember he also said once you can't make metal with synths and keyboards. Then they did Somewhere in time and Seventh son😁

thanks for commenting! btw please subscribe so you help us grow! :-)

tough times for the band I guess!

Nope. The X Factor and Virtual XI were the worst Maiden albums of all time! (Fact) The Final Frontier is the best album after Brave New World in the 2000s! (In my opinion).

​@@thewildbruce5612 nah mate, the X Factor is a masterpiece. Virtual is admittedly weak but Futureal and Clansman are decent. Brave New World is Excellent. Final Frontier is just sub par.

​@@PhasebandVirtual XI is better than you think, trust me
