Customer Reviews

Great content - BAD DVD
Wow! This DVD is the musical equivalent of sucking champagne from a leper's unwashed shoe. I have never before seen such outstanding, awe inspiring content coupled with excruciating tear inducing DVD menu based awfulness. The cutting edge computer graphics on this DVD are almost good enough to rival The Lawnmower man for technical wizardry. Sorry. Who cares about the presentation, just sit back and hit play for hours of life giving ultra-Maiden in all their guises from the early Di'Anno through Dickinson into that unfortunate bit and back to Dickinson again, YES! If you love Maiden you'll forgive the presentation and realise that this DVD is worth every penny and has to be given the following rating :

Content : 10/5
Presentation : 1/5
Overall : 5 stars

UP THE IRONS!

Essential Maiden
With 31 videos spanning Iron Maiden's entire history, how can you go wrong? Inevitably the quality dips a little after the initial batch from Maiden's classic '80's albums, but it's still a great visual record of the bands history. Admittedly most of the promotional videos are based around simple band performance footage, but the quality of the songs is so high that overly flashy video's just aren't required. Probably the set's nadir is the woeful Virus, which as well as being an uninspiring song is almost unwatchable, as the video consists of nothing more than constant violent focus pulls, but elsewhere the much derided Blaze Bailey era holds up reasonably well, with even the dull Quo-rocking of The Angel and the Gambler enlivened by an energetic video. Extras come in the form of a number of video's redone with new animated inserts, and these work surprisingly well, especially for Run to the Hills and the Number of the Beast, where they replace the comedy material of the original videos with something more suitably dramatic. One aspect of this collection that may fade over time is the fact that almost a quarter of the songs are actual live performances that may well end up being released separately elsewhere (Rock in Rio has already been released separately - how long before Donnington etc?), but the sheer comprehensive nature of this collection makes it an essential purchase for all Maiden fans.

NB: Please note that the UK release has had the video for The Trooper censored for animal cruelty, (the inserts come from an old film where wires were used to trip horses to create stunt falls), so depending on your views you may wish to import the uncut US release.

A Righteous Rock-a-thon!
The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and the this DVD is packed with goodness! For a while now, Maiden fans have asked for a compilation of all their music videos, and now they have it. This DVD is packed with videos from 'Women In Uniform' to their headlining performance at Rock In Rio. None of the videos disappoint and can grip to the end of the DVDs. The inclusion of extras such as the Camp Chaos animated videos are a joy to watch. All in all, the difinitive rock DVD, and must have for die-hard and casual Maiden fans! Two thumbs way up high!
