Posted August 25, 200618 yr where should have The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg, by iron maiden been in the chart. why wasnt it in
August 25, 200618 yr It wasn't in because it was too long to be accepted for the charts. So, never mind that probably tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of Maiden fans in UK bought it, it wasn't eligible 'because it was 'too long'..... Pathetic.... <_<
August 25, 200618 yr There was a thread elsewhere on the same subject. Apparently the answer would have been only #18. (It was #14 on the first midweeks before being NCQ'd).

August 27, 200618 yr They've done worse with far better songs. And they've done better with far worse songs.... "Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter" is a huge OUCH that springs to mind, somehow that floating turd got to No1..... "Benjamin Breeg" is a strong song from a very strong album, what I've heard of it anyway....

But then again the only worse singles they've had have been with Blaze :lol: BYDTTS is Bruce's contribution i believe :) lol. Yes i love the hard riff of "Benjamin Breeg", i haven't heard much of the new album yet. Can't wait to see them live again ^_^
September 4, 200618 yr They've released amazing songs such as "Running Free", "Aces High" and "Wasted Years" which have done like $h!te on the charts. "Benjamin Breeg" is a good song but it doesn't live up to the aforementioned hits standards.

Since when were you a Maiden fan? :blink: Purgatory is their best single by far and that reached number 52 (i think). Wasted Years their second best single. And either Aces High or Hallowed Be Thy Name (live from Donnington 1992) being their third best.
September 5, 200618 yr Author Apparently the answer would have been only #18. (It was #14 on the first midweeks before being NCQ'd). only #18 :o :o :o thought it would have been top ten for sure. well the first ones from other 'longtime chart acts' new ones like Moz and Depeche got top 10, and you would have thought the metal fans to have more purchasing power
September 5, 200618 yr Author They've released amazing songs such as "Running Free", "Aces High" and "Wasted Years" which have done like $h!te on the charts. however when were these released were they released on the upwards curve of their career at the start before they truely got established?
September 5, 200618 yr however when were these released were they released on the upwards curve of their career at the start before they truely got established? well Running Free was their first single (1980) and got to number 28 (i think) in the charts. Aces High was from their 5th album and 5 years after Running Free and only got to 25 (again i think, i'm doing this from memory). And Wasted Years a year after Aces High got to around 18. By that time they were well established and only had one top 10 hit (Run to the Hills got to number 7). It wasn't till their 7th album (7th Son of a 7th Son) that they really started to do well in the charts with all of the singles from that album comming top ten. The next album saw a number 1 with Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter the album after that (Fear Of The Dark) had one hit (Be Quick Or Be Dead) which got to number 2 and then they went c**p as Bruce left for 7 years to be replaced by Blaze Bayley <_<
September 9, 200618 yr I still LMAO off at BYDTTS's fabulous #1 run :lol: And no I'm not a fan but my ex boyfriend was into them for some absurd reason so I pick up a few things ^_^ And this one wasn't half that bad tbh :smoke:
