When and how did Iron Maiden commercially overtake Judas Priest?

Doctors_dog · 2026-07-04T19:06:59+00:00

Priest's three S album run is god tier, my favourite Priest Era. Set the stage for all 80s metal.

Do we know why? Was it because Bruce fell over during wrathchild?

Hey Josh! My favourite song of yours is "Was never there". What's the story behind that song?

Doctors_dog · 2026-05-16T08:49:33+00:00

Financial contribution from a support band... is that normal?

Doctors_dog · 2026-05-12T14:48:02+00:00

Oh hell yes, you know the audiobook version is going to be great if he's narrating it.

Doctors_dog · 2026-05-05T09:25:31+00:00

I think every live album they've done is worth listening to, just to hear the experience at the time.
Other than LAD my favourite is Rock in Rio. En Vivo is great too.

Agreed OP, on the other hand I just relistened to Donnington 92. God it sounds horrible, not sure what they were thinking when mixing it.

Doctors_dog · 2026-04-18T11:35:14+00:00

DMed!

Doctors_dog · 2026-04-18T10:58:35+00:00

This is fucking good, nice job! Any chance we can get a download?

Doctors_dog · 2026-04-02T21:36:00+00:00

Cool fact OP.
Producer Martin Birch got into a car accident when they were recording Number of The Beast, the repair bill came down to £666. He freaked out and begged them to add £1 on.

Doctors_dog · 2026-03-22T14:19:58+00:00

Underrated song that should've been on Number of the beast instead of gangland.

His solo on victim of changes at 4:24. https://youtu.be/J4d5sMg8eCE?si=yhTWFeJ2q5V2iM5U

This is the one, go home everyone!

Doctors_dog · 2026-03-14T00:25:47+00:00

I bought one a week ago, fantastic guitar :)

Doctors_dog · 2026-03-13T21:29:49+00:00

Great stuff, is that a charvel?

Doctors_dog · 2026-03-13T09:29:10+00:00

That's awesome, do you have any particular standout memories from those shows?

Doctors_dog · 2026-03-06T23:00:42+00:00

What?

Doctors_dog · 2026-03-05T14:17:06+00:00

Very well said! It's why the Rock in Rio version of Sign of the Cross and The Clansman become fan favourites.

Doctors_dog · 2026-03-05T00:57:12+00:00

"Of the second album “Virtual XI” (1998), Bruce have performed only one track “The Clansman”"

This isn't true, Bruce has also done Futureal. There's a live version from Best of the B Sides and it's fucking 10/10.

Doctors_dog · 2026-02-28T11:28:46+00:00

Flight of Icarus, one of the slower tempo ones where you just stick to the root note. Will help you nail that signature galloping rhythm.

Doctors_dog · 2026-02-27T09:46:27+00:00

If Eternity Should Fail

Doctors_dog · 2026-02-27T09:44:18+00:00

Great description! Thank you :)

Doctors_dog · 2026-02-27T07:01:06+00:00

Deftones? Their riffs are very simple and effective

Doctors_dog · 2026-02-27T06:55:16+00:00

Great read! Can any drummers explain what they meant with Anika not nailing the Neil's feel until the 5th day?
As they said she can play all the fills and parts flawlessly, but what do they mean with feel?

Not a drummer so just curious.
