Maiden Voyagers

S02E12: No Prayer For The Dying - Part 2

It's the final episode of the season! Join Bledd and Sam as they cast a critical eye on 'No Prayer For The Dying' and round up the ranking results for the discog so far.

S02E11: No Prayer For The Dying - Part 1

No Adrian, no synths - it's all change in the Iron Maiden camp as the 1990s rear their head. Join Bledd and Sam as they jump in to the band's 'No Prayer For The Dying'.
It might get bumpy.

S02E10: Tattooed Millionaire

For this week only, Maiden Voyagers becomes... Dickinson's Voyagers? Dickinson's Detours?
We couldn't decide on a name.
But ahead of delving in to Iron Maiden's 'No Prayer For The Dying', Bledd and Sam take a moment to analyse frontman Bruce Dickinson's first solo effort. Marking a stylistic departure of sorts for Dickinson and introducing guitarist Janick Gers, it certainly lays the groundwork for Maiden's next release.

S02E09: End of Tour Wrap-Up

In a slight departure from our scheduled program, Bledd and Sam take the opportunity to reflect on Iron Maiden's Future Past Tour (again) now that it's wrapped-up (and they actually attended a show). Join them for a tale of Dixie Chicken and Utilita Arena. 
Just as a small disclaimer, this episode was recorded before Nicko went public with his health issues. We discuss some of his playing, but obviously that vital context is missing so do please keep that in mind. Wishing Nicko all the best in his recovery - what a beast!

S02E08: Seventh Son of A Seventh Son - Part 2

In our second part of Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Bledd and Sam spend far too much time analysing one of Iron Maiden's most renowned albums. But does it live up to the hype?
I mean, yes. Obvs. But still, let's talk about why it's so good.

S02E07: Seventh Son of A Seventh Son - Part 1

Only a week later than originally billed, Sam and Bledd dive in to Maiden's proggiest album to date - Seventh Son of A Seventh Son. Is it actually that proggy? Is it even a concept album? Who knows - the only thing we're sure of is there'll be synths galore.

S02E06: Caught Somewhere On Tour

With the Maiden lads having kicked off The Future Past Tour, Bledd and Sam take a break from their usual album analysis to mark the occasion instead.
Instead, join us as we put together our dream Maiden gigs, covering everything from set-lists to just how many pyro displays go off.

S02E05: Somewhere In Time - Part 2

On this week's ep, Sam and Blev continue to get in to the weeds on Maiden's ode to guitar-synths, 'Somewhere In Time', and lavish praise on Adrian smith.

S02E04: Somewhere In Time - Part 1

This week, Blev and Sam kick off their discussion on one of Maiden's oddly less talked about albums. Join them as they delve in to a world replete with Adrian Smith's songwriting and guitar synths.

S02E03: Powerslave - Part 2

On this week's edition, Blev and Sam get in to the weeds of the songs on Powerslave and ask the big questions, like does an album really need two songs about sword-fighting? (Spoiler: no)
