In this edition of #thedailydoug, I'm returning to finish my review of the Powerslave album by Iron Maiden. Today, it's side 2, with Back in the Village, Powerslave, and Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Although I've heard Powerslave and Rime of the Ancient Mariner before, I've never heard the original studio versions. So, I'm excited to hear these specific sounds for the first time! Come along for the ride!

I used to play bass at a church. At one point before a service while we were warming up and practicing a few songs i played a few seconds of Ancient Mariner just goofing around. At the end of the service as i was packing up my instrument somebody who i had never talked to walked up to me and asked 'was that Rime of the Ancient Mariner?" And i had been caught. Him and I became really good friends and even though he had since moved to another city we still keep up to this day!

I once warmed up with Number of the Beast on my guitar. The Pastor (who I knew liked some 80's music) gave me a dirty look. After the service I asked if Creeping Death would have been more suitable. He paused and said, "It's biblical, but nope".

Modern Metal is just a drone, but Iron Maiden is still terrifying. Terrifying in a fun kind of way, but then, I'm a fan Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. "Tocatta", and "Atropos", from "The Three Fates" are seriously more complicated, but not for the faint of heart. The same kind of people that call Maiden "simplistic" call ELP "presumptuous."

Nicko is at his best, as is Steve. And Dickinson's interpretation and performance are stellar. It's very interesting and special from a lyrical point of view as well. Cheers!

You are so right about Steve's bass in Powerslave. I always thought that he shined more as a bass player in the songs he hasn't written himself. As if when he is not the composer himself he feels more free to unleash his creativity in his playing. Same goes for 2 minutes to midnight, he steals the show for me.
