Title: Bad to the bone
Review: I was a BIG Maiden's fan until I heard that album!I first got it on double LP when it first came out and believe me I was expecting this album to be the new MADE IN JAPAN or UNLEASHED IN THE EAST...A great LIVE album recorded by one of the greatest bands.What a mess!There's not a single song on this album that sounds even sightly as good as the studio version.The sound is way to clear and crisp...it sounds DEAD and clinical.Bruce Dickinson might be a wonderful showman, but he sure is a bad singer on stage, he's so monotone,it's sounds like he's singing on one note, one looooooooooooonng note through the entire album.It is even worse when he takes over the old tracks-wrathchild, running free,phantom of the opera.It really took awhile to like Maiden again after this one.I prefer to forget that album and concentrate on their studio recordings.MAIDEN is a great band in the studio and when you assist at one of their shows but their live performances don't fit the Lp or Cd format.
