50 Years of IRON MAIDEN episode 11: Somewhere In Time with Peter Kerr

50 Years of IRON MAIDEN episode 11:  Somewhere In Time

With special guest Peter Kerr

GRAB A STACK OF ROCK #101

Exit Pharaohs…enter synth!?

Please welcome Peter Kerr from Rock Daydream Nation to this epic episode of 50 Years of Iron Maiden.  Now that we are done with the 100th Episode festivities, we can get back to celebrating the 50th anniversary of Iron Maiden.  After the lengthy Powerslave tour and resultant live album Live After Death, one member of Iron Maiden was completely burned out.  The new album would be the first since The Number of the Beast to lack a Bruce Dickinson writing credit.

Not that this major detail held anything back.  Bruce’s singing was still lung-burstingly powerful, and the band were writing amazing songs…this time with guitar and bass synthesizer.  It was a controversial decision, but our panel was not phased.  Check out what we have to say about all eight tracks, and all four B-sides.

We also take a serious deep dive into the album artwork, without any help from Wikipedia or other sources.

As usual, we close the show with Harrison’s deep dive into the tour (Somewhere On Tour) and setlists.

Scream for us, YouTube, and enjoy this comeback episode of 50 Years of Iron Maiden.

 

Airing Friday May 2 at 7:00 P.M. E.S.T. / 8:00 P.M. Atlantic.   Enjoy on YouTube.

  1. I like synths a lot, but they don’t often mesh well with metal. I think Maiden pull it off well on this album, not as much on the next.
