Yes Maiden still rocks hard.

I saw them a couple years ago and they sounded exactly like they did at my first Maiden concert in the mid 80's.

GREAT band, an they are excellent live.

They're all a bunch of sods.  Short sods, at that.

They've got their own 757 that Bruce pilots from gig to gig.  Short sods or not, I'd say they're doing pretty damn good.

 :rock :rock :rock :rock :rock :rock

The greatest Heavy Metal Band of All time (IMO).  Greatly misunderstood, mostly due to their name I would guess.  If you are a musician you can not help but appreciate these guys.  Steve Harris is a god on the bass, Nicko McBrain plays the drums like an octopus. Dave and Adrian compliment each other unlike any other guitar duo I have ever seen, and Bruce, that guy just kicks butt.  I must admit though, I am not a fan of the 3 axe setup, as accomplished as Jannick is.   One of my favorite tracks from them is "Phantom of the Opera" on the Live After Death CD.  I don't think there are many, if any bands that can play live with Maiden.  I haven't seen them live since their 7th son Tour came thru Salt Lake, but they are still my favorite band.  They recently released Live After Death on DVD (which had only been available on VHS for years).  It includes Iron Maiden Behind the Iron Curtain and some great extras. If you are a Maiden fan do yourself a favor and pick it up.

Up the Irons and <<S>>

I never cared for the Maiden.  In high school I associated them with heavy bands that played on devil worship and basically stuck with Yes and Rush....Tull.  Interesting stuff.
A friend from school I had not heard from in ten years called a few weeks back and said he had a Iron Maiden ticket and asked if I would like to go.  Of course out of curiosity I went.

Blown away by this band.  Technically great players, all of them.  Great stage....great show, great sound and damned good songs.  Im digging Iron Maiden now :)

Maiden played here in D.C. the other night.  I didn't make it to the show but some folks I know said they absolutely brought the rock... one said "best show i've seen in years..."

I'm kicking myself for not going... I was never a huge fan but I appreciated their talent...  :rock

Testament to their fans. Like Yeager said many people associated them with Heavy, Heavy bands like Slayer, Venom etc.  When in fact they are not even as "heavy" as Judas Priest.  Technically they are amazing.  Sorry, I'll stop the ankle humping, just nice to know there are still fans out there.  Wish they would come to SLC so I didnt have to drive to Vegas to see them.
