Iron Maiden Producer Kevin Shirley has been posted a studio update in the forum section of the members-only website IronMaidenOnlineClub.com. Here's an excerpt:
"After our first week of knuckling down and beginning to cut basic tracks, we had a very interesting second week. We've cut 10 long songs for the new album, as well as four songs for B sides, which show quite an interesting side to the band. Don't worry, there's nothing like the 'interesting-or-maybe-not' B sides which were all that were left over for the Dance of Death singles. These are great cover versions with a terrific and humourous spirit!
"Anyhoo, the spirit in the band is as high as I've ever seen. Wing Commander Biggles (as I call Bruce [Dickinson]) is running around like a chicken with its head cut off, singing every take live, like it was his last — 'Arry, or Steve [Harris] is sounding better than I've ever heard since I began producing the band, galloping along very strongly — and the material is definitely the 'groovingest' in a decade. The songs are very progressive, with catchy choruses and I have to confess to being VERY optimistic about the material."

magor - 4/15/2006 9:37:12 PM GTDiehard must stand for gay tastes die hard, you frickin' moron. Maiden's music is among the best in metal or for that matter any genre precisely because it has so much variety. Maybe the instrumentation is generally the same, so so are the tones, but the melodies which is what really makes a song unique, are all different. GTDiehard if you don't know this go take some (more) music classes cause until you do, your opinions sound like their coming from a "tone deaf" person (tone deaf is a colloquial phrase used for anyone not just without an ability to hear tones, but for anyone without the ability to distinguish between pitches which I suspect is your real problem.
