darthspudius: Don't get too attached. The shit they've been doing for nearly 20 yrs is absolutely awful in comparison to their 80s heyday.
That's how it always evolve.

Not always, for example Saxon, Motorhead and Def Leppard just squeezed out fantastic albums. Judas Priest's latest was also pretty kick ass. The difference there though is that they constantly stay on the road unlike Iron Maiden. They've become sluggish and lazy in their old age.

I've really only listened to Number of the Beast, Powerslave, and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. That's kind of disappointing to hear, but I guess I can still enjoy those albums. What are some other good Iron Maiden songs from the old days?

I personally say acquire the first album upto X-Factor then just stop there. Peace of Mind from 1983 (i think) is full of quite a few stinkers too. Their '80s stuff is what you want. :D I would recommend Helloween, Gamma Ray and all those German bands if you want something similar, more consistent and generally better.

Maybe I read that wrong, and correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Lemmy just walk of stage recently telling the crowd he can't do it anymore? :P

Not what I'd call staying "on the road". XD

Also, Leppard hasn't had a good record since Pyromania.

Lemmy had an undiagnosed lung infection. He's apparently much better now.

Also Def Lep nothing good since Pyromania is one of the worst, narrow minded opinions anyone can have about that band. They're not a one trick pony like Motorhead, Venom, Saxon etc. Sadly it is what people want them to be. Hysteria, Slang and the new record are fantastic. Adrenalize, Songs From The Sparkle Lounge and Euphoria are fun but different and X is a big hit or miss. Variety and keeping it fresh is the key. Shame nearly every other heavy metal band of their generation can't say the same.

I never said they were a one trick pony. High & Dry was fucking amazing.

As far as Hysteria goes, I've found that record actually sounds better if you play it backwards. :P

Something New:

Vanden Plas - Godmaker's Temptation
Primal Fear - Running in the Dust

Ralf Scheepers is much better Halford "clone" than Ripper Owens imo. Too bad he didn't get the role in Judas Priest.
The Black Dahlia Murder
a bit different, but an awesome artist/bookwriter/whatever he wants to do

Celldweller - Breakout

EDIT: forgot about this:

Yomi - The August Countenance of Amaterasu
Really worth the listen

Nine Treasures - Black Heart

Been on Mongolian metal wave lately, Tengger Cavalry are also great.
Pretty Maids - Back to Back (1984)

\m/ \m/
Can't get the chorus out of my head

Fooor the king we will riiiide through the dark galactic skiiies
To the defeaaat the fooorce when the chaos wizards riiise
Now the universe will buuurn - evil sorcerer retuuuurn
Tragic faaate rages toniiight - Chaos Wizards rise

GLORYHAMMER - Rise Of The Chaos Wizards

So cheesy
a brootal space slamming something death metal ep:
Wormed - Quasineutrality:
1 - Uncoloured Plasma Orifices Transported
2 - Undeciphering the Inquantificability
