When the name Iron Maiden comes up it’s easy to think of “Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” “2 Minutes To Midnight,” “Run to the Hills,” and “the Number of the Beast.” These are the Maiden staples – the songs that even non-Maiden freak metal heads know and can sing along to.
p>It’s easy to focus on the massive hits that any band or artist may have – Motorhead’s “Ace of Spades,” KISS’ “Rock And Roll All Night,” Megadeth’s “Peace Sells,” but we all know there’s much more to a band than their most loved songs – and there’s much more good music than the classics by any artist who had stood the test of time.
Iron Maiden’s new From Fear To Eternity – The Best if 1990 – 2010 is a perfect example. Pop in one of the two discs of this release and one is instantly reminded that that the most recent era in Maiden’s history has brought some solid rockers to the table as well.
