  • The Maiden Fanzone

    Great show for Maiden fans. Less of the deep dive and more of a fanzone air. Focuses on ranking albums and songs, maiden stories from fans, historical background to some of their biggest hits and general banter from the team. Excursions into other bands from time to time such as Ozzy, Kiss and Megadeth.

  • Best Maiden Pod

    Steve is a cool dude that knows his Maiden. Hes joined by some people even cooler. I’ll overlook his fascination with Kiss. Kirsty and Matt are invaluable contributors. The waffle are my favourite episodes

You can join the crew weekly along with listeners from all parts of the globe. There’s everything from guests personal Iron Maiden stories, to album reviews, to current music topics and to general waffle. It’s a lot of fun. Up The Irons.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

7 Deadly Bands
Q: Do you agree that Megadeth should drop songs such as “Holy Wars” and “The Conjuring” from its set because of Dave Mustaine's vocal limitations?
Uncle Steve agrees that Mustaine should focus on songs suited to his current voice but recognizes that this would mean dropping major tracks. Matthew would not want “Holy Wars” removed because its music remains powerful, and says he would make allowances for the vocals.
7 Deadly Bands
Q: What do you think about Judas Priest's choice of replacement bassist?
Uncle Steve says he has no objection if the band considers the replacement capable, noting that the bassist has already filled in for Ian Hill. Matthew says he does not know much about the player.

Iron Maiden LIVE in San Antonio Discussion and a Norn Iron Farmers Rough Guide to Texas... Part 1
Q: What was your takeaway on Anthrax?
Holmes says Anthrax are fine to listen to, though his collection is limited to the “Antisocial” single and he prefers Megadeth. He notes that the band's short set still gave them exposure to potential new audiences.

Q: Would you go to a Maiden virtual show accounting for the recent Pop House partnership?
