On our maiden voyage (pun very much intended), we tackle two very different songs. First up from the 1982 album The Number of the Beast we have the song 22 Acacia Avenue. Second we have 2 A.M. from 1995’s The X Factor. We discuss being shocked by “dangerous” songs as kids, political correctness in metal lyrics, strange production choices, and, of course, tons of guitar nerd stuff! We are, after all, both guitarists.

We have also created a playlist. A Maiden A–Z Top-50 list. During the course of this podcast, after discussing songs, we will decide if they make the illustrious list or not. That list can be found here.

We would love to hear from you guys at home. You can find us on facebook, instagram, and at maidenazpod@gmail.com!

Up the irons!
