Justin is such a great guy to call in and take time out of his day to promote this event.  Don’t forget if you can’t make it Sunday, you can go virtual!!  There are all sorts of ways to help out and after hearing our discussion, I’m sure you’ll want to!  Love the New Jersey Devils….and of course, all the great work RWJ Barnabas Health does.   Check out my chat with Justin below and let’s go Devils!!

Mike is all about having fun each afternoon. He brings you concert tickets, some fun trivia, and of course the best bands. Other interests outside of being at WDHA are drums, movies, and my family. Also, like most radio personalities, he loves live music. There's nothing like a live show to hype him up! His all-time favorite band is Metallica. But according to him, the list of others is pretty lengthy.

Top Picks: 5 Amazing Iron Maiden Songs

I wanted to put a list together of Iron Maiden tunes.  They’ve been in the news recently, so I thought I’d show you 5 Amazing Iron Maiden Songs.  They’ve got way more than that which are awesome tunes, but these are ones that always stick out to me.

It was so sad to hear about the passing of vocalist Paul Di’Anno.  If you don’t know the name, he was on the first two full-length studio releases from the metal powerhouse.  I have to tell you, for as much praise as Bruce Dickenson gets (and rightfully so), Paul was amazing in his own right.  He has a deeper range, but could still hit some crazy high notes.  I thought his voice blended nicely with the tunes they were writing back then.

Of course, Bruce is the voice most of us think of when we think of Iron Maiden.  He’s got that power metal style down to a science and still sounds wonderful when performing live.  Over the years, Maiden has experimented and tried various types of songwriting throughout their catalog, but they seem to almost always come back to epic rockers that have many twists and turns and several sections, that make me wonder how easy it is to remember the parts when they play them live!!

Whether you’re strictly into the first few albums or are enjoying their latest effort Senjutsu, you can’t go wrong.  They have that solid beat from Nicko McBrain and those amazing riffs, it just works perfectly.  They’ve influenced so many other bands that have come out, but to this day, Maiden is still one of the real masters of metal.  They just do it so well.

So I thought we could take a look at 5 songs that just plain rock and are a fun ride to listen to.  Let’s get into it!

  • FLIGHT OF ICARUS

    Such a cool tune. Not as quick and with that uptempo typically heard in Maiden tunes. But this one is incredible!

  • PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

    A really intense sounding rocker with some awesome vocals from the late Paul Di’Anno.  It’s from their debut which just bangs!

  • HALLOWED BE THY NAME

    A medieval sounding metal tune?  Yep.  It’s got some aggressive vocals from Bruce and some really cool riffs throughout!

     

  • ACES HIGH

    Such a cool opening riff.  Then some powerful vocals with an infectious chorus!  A great piece from Powerslave….maybe my favorite overall album?

  • THE WICKER MAN

    Bruce is back in this one!  And you can tell he’s back with a vengeance.  Ok that was corny.  But this has such an earworm for a hook….you can’t help but sing along!
