Maiden A–ZMay 26, 2023
Maiden A-Z 125: The Pilgrim
What's with the gloryhole of the lord?
We hop on the Mayflower and sail for new lands to rediscover porn and god alike!
Jesus pulls his best partytricks and Ritchie Blackmore, as per usual, looms over the horizon.

Maiden A-Z 124: Phantom of the Opera - Atto Secondo
Behind the cavernous walls of this opera house lies terror, unspeakable terror.
Who was this Phantom, plotting and scheming behind so grotesque a mask?
The thundering organ - his throne of doom!
The empty theater - his altar of death!
Come, if you dare!

Maiden A-Z 123: Phantom of the Opera - Atto Primo
Mr John Gaffney from Lair of the Alchemist, or Gaffneyson as our mutual buddy calls him is indeed back at the eagles nest and ready to talk more Maiden.
And what a song we are in for, I don't even know where to begn? Well I gues it would make sense at Apertura moving into Atto Primo.
Gradire!

Maiden A-Z 122: A bit of escapism
Erik is joined by his bestie and former podcast partner Alexis for this special detour episode.
Can gory movies and extreme metal help get thru bad mental health days? We attempt to answer that. Kind of.
Be warned: This one is a bit different than what you're used to. Next week we will be back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Maiden A-Z 117: Out of the Silent Planet
Mr Feck himself, Fearghal Traynor, is back on Maiden A-Z!
And, let's get down to brass tax here:
Does any of this really exist?
We're all living seperately.
We can't disguise ourselves with this anymore.
We don't have another chance
...and we're all gonna die!
Let us peregrinate, Out of the Silent Planet!

Maiden A-Z 116: Only the Good Die Young + Out of the Shadows
I can't even recall last time we did two songs in one single episode..?
Hitting up such a heavy duty this very week, of course we needed Judas Priestcasts own George Silano and his firepower.
Let's see if he can help us not only analyze these two tunes but also find anything of a link between this seemingly unmatched pair.
Let the undead live within us!

Maiden A-Z 115: The Number of the Beast 2/2
Maiden A-Z & Axel continue descending, further into the infernal depths.
Phrase up those sacred chants and reckon THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST.
For it is your warped mind, straring back at you!
The evil face, that twists your mind -
and brings you to despair!

Maiden A-Z 111: The Nomad
Of course, Joel Brink (Maidenpodden) stuck around with us for this week, with his favorite song coming right at us.
The Nomad.
In many ways this was a perfect match, and one we had confirmed since many, many moons.
However, upon hitting record Jon fell into the agonizing notion that this might well be him ruining someones favorite tune.
Somones favorite Maiden tune...
...ouch!
Well, at least he might actually live to tell the tale.*

Maiden A-Z 110: New Frontier
New letter!
New songwriter!
New Frontier.
No more M.
Yet, we are still feeling M, and this week M, of course, stands for:
MAIDENPODDEN!
Joel is back with us, and this time to have a sweet slice of that music and lyric analysis cake.
We are stoked to, in some way, temporarily resurrect Maidenpodden.
Let's talk 2003, when ISDN and ADSL were up to date, and cloned mammals was talk of the town.

Maiden A–Z 109: Pub Quiz #1
For this week's episode, we attempt something very different. Jonatan and Fearghal battle in a good old-fashioned pub quiz created by Erik.
This is just a bit of fun and likely won't be for everyone. Fear not! Next week we will be back to our usual mischief!
A bit of warning: This week we most definitely earned our explicit content warning.

Maiden A-Z 101: Halloween shenanigans 2022
It is the spookiest day of the year so we wanted to give you a bit of bonus fun!
To help us out there was of course only one man to call. In other words, Fearghal is back!
It should be pointed out this is just a bit of off-topic fun. There is very little Maiden talk. A regular song episode is dropping this Friday.
Happy Halloween, up the irons and skål from the north!

Maiden A-Z 97: Man Predictions 2023!
On what was already to be a terrific October Thursday, Iron Maiden announced the 2023 "The Future Past Tour".
A fusion of Senjutsu and Somewhere in Time, Han-Solos & Samurais.
Of course this podcast had to get in on the action with some juicy Man Predictions!
And for those to be juicy enough, of course we needed our pal Fearghal Traynor back on the panel.

Joining us all the way from Ottawa are first time Maiden A-Z guests Andew DuBroy and Gower!
As we mention in the episode, the plan was to do two songs this week.
As often is the case with us, there was more to say than we thought.
What song is coming up next week you ask? We know it might seem like an eternity from now but you’ll just have to wait! We, however, point out that for us, eternity is nothing but a short while…

Maiden A–Z 65: Holy Smoke + Hooks in You pt. 1
For this dive into the very beginning of Maiden's slightly odd 90s period we have two guests.
Henrik Johansson is back and as if that wasn’t enough we have what we hope will be the first of many appearances of Dave Moody from In The Lap of The Pods!
We had way too much to talk about to fit into one episode. Part one focuses mainly on Holy Smoke. What happens in part two? No big deal, no big sin… to be continued!
Maiden A–Z 64: Hell On Earth
We have Dan Mortimer back in the house for this one. Besides learning the meaning of thematic elements in movie ratings, someone says something that, more likely than not, will cement itself in our ever growing collection of recurring jokes on the pod.

But we do have Mr.Bass, a.k.a. Erik Arkö, back in the house for the first time in way too long to talk about his epic new song “No Man’s Land (Christmas Eve 1914)”. If you haven’t already, head on over to youtube and it out!
Hope you all have a great Christmas, and if that’s not your jam, have a great weekend!
Up the irons, Merry Christmas and skål from the North!
Maiden A–Z 61: Heaven Can Wait
But there is nothing business as usual about this week's song!
Up the Irons and skål from the north!
Maiden A–Z 60: Hallowed Be Thy Name
Friends of the beast, it is time for Hallowed Be Thy Name.

Joel Brink
Henrik Johansson
Philip Trummer
Ben Webster
Trophy Lovepump
Paul Corcoran
Fearghal Traynor
The segment with Joel and Henrik is taken from our live podcast at the anniversary party.
Huge thanks guys for joining us on our big night and of course huge thanks to the rest of our guests for making this already special episode even more special!
Shout out to Nate Sumislaski and Patrick who sent in setlists that we missed last time. Sorry! Next year we’ll work out a better system.
Most importantly, thank you for listening and for making this strange journey even more special than we could have possibly imagined.
Up the Irons and skål from the north!
Maiden A–Z 59: Ghost of The Navigator + The Great Unknown
We also present a couple of brand new impromptu alter-egos and paint somewhat uncomfortable erotic imagery you’re not likely to forget for a while. Hold on to your hats. This one gets a bit weird!

P.S. Arkö is alive and well!
Maiden A–Z 41:The Evil That Men Do

Maiden A–Z 39: Senjustu: Man predictions!
Are you excited about the new album? Drop us a line and let us know!
Maiden A–Z 38: WOTW first impressions from the Majestic Porch
There is a lot to unpack here. We barely scratch the surface of the song itself. We’ll deep dive into it more when the time comes. “W” is a long way off. I’m sure there will be more news very soon.
So you might be getting another bonus episode or two in the not too distant future!
What an amazing time to be a Maiden fan!
Maiden A–Z 37: Drums of The Beast pt. 2
We jump right back in where we left off last week.
Hats off to Emil Mickols and Henrik Johansson! They both kicked ass on this one.
Is this half as much fun? to listen to as it was to record,you guys are in for a treat!
Up the Irons and skål from the north!
Maiden A–Z 36: Drums of the Beast pt. 1
Hold on to your hats and set phasers to fun! It might get a bit loud!
Maiden A–Z 35: What’s on the wall?!
We have a full boat on this episode as we attempt to figure out what all the clues mean. Ben Webster and Erik Arkö are back. We also have a first time guest with a very metal sounding name:
Fearghal Traynor!
I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of him soon.
Also, we have an announcement! On November 20th we will have our first ever Live podcast!
Gula Villan in Haninge is where it’s going down.
More info on that soonish but save the date!
Maiden A–Z 34: The Edge of Darkness + The Educated Fool
After a few weeks of specials it’s nice to get back to the song list.
We go a bit off-road on this one. Hopefully you enjoy the scenic route we sometimes take as much as we do!
Maiden A–Z 33: Midsummer Night Massacre 2021
On this week's episode we discuss Maiden's special relationship to the Nordic countries. Henrik is back and we are also joined by Joel Brink from Maidenpodden. It’s fair to say that without Maidenpodden, there would be no Maiden A-Z. If you speak Swedish, be sure to check them out!
Happy Midsummer to you, up the Irons and skål from the north!
Maiden A–Z 32: Early Days pt. III
Thanks again to Ben for joining us!
I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of him in the future.
Until then...
Up the irons and skål from the North!
Maiden A–Z 31: Early Days pt. II
Ben and Henrik are with us, and just like last time there is a ton to talk about! We are working on maybe adding a few new segments to the show. If you have any ideas of stuff you would like to hear, drop us a line!
Up the irons and skål from the North!
Maiden A–Z 30: Early Days pt. I
Ben Webster and Henrik are in the house and there was no shortage of fun stuff to talk about! We check out some ancient recordings with past members, discuss firing said past members, being a good cop/smart cop, and going floating in an endless pit!
Is there a mirror universe Ben where everything went right? What would that look like? The answer to these questions and more is within your grasp!
Up the irons and skål from the North
Maiden A–Z 29: Drifter + The Duelists
First up, we have the song Drifter. Perhaps the Maiden song with the most different live arrangements. Second up, the so far never-played-live The Duelists. We also discuss Disney on Ice. One in our merry band of podcasters is revealed not to know who Harvey Keitel is. Who is it? Let’s find out!
Maiden A–Z 28: Dream of Mirrors + Don’t look to the eyes of a Stranger
Maiden A–Z 27: Die With Your Boots On + Different World
We talk about Eddie’s lobotomy, dying in whatever type of footwear you have on, and air emergency choir singing.
Maiden A–Z 26: Feel like you’ve been here before?
Maiden A–Z 25: Death or Glory + Deja vu
Maiden A–Z 24: Dance of Death
This week Charlotta Dahlén joins us for the second time to discuss this
2003 title-track.
Dancing, prancing, Irish jigs, Ingmar Bergman inspiration, Venetian masks and capes.
This song is packed with storytelling and drama.
So join us in a one-song deep-dive and do the dance macabre!
Maiden A–Z 23: Cross-Eyed Mary + Communication Breakdown + All in Your Mind + Doctor Doctor
to Schenker-lead shuffle-rock.
Actually, all the songs are from the same era, 1969-1974.
So, let's let the covers do some talking and have them pick up the pace on
where we are in the alphabet.
Maiden A–Z 22: Blaze Bayley
Maiden A–Z 21: Como Estais Amigos with Blaze Bayley
Maiden A–Z 20: The Clansman + Coming Home
Blaze Bayley also tells us about Serbian army fans and stage crashing/diving. Additionally, we touch down on the runway in “Coming Home.” Enjoy!
Maiden A–Z 19: Children of the Damned + The Clairvoyant
to discuss and dissect these two awesome songs.
We find paths to Tony Iommi's Black Sabbath, leading onward to James Hetfield with Metallica,
and then somehow back and around again.
Join us for the ride and up those irons!
Maiden A–Z 18: Charlotte The Harlot + Childhood’s End
Maiden A–Z 17: Caught Somewhere in Time + Chains of Misery
Maiden A–Z 16: Burning Ambition + Can I Play With Madness + Listener e-mails
We couldn't have rounded off the Bs without it so let's get a healthy dose of proper 70s Maiden.
Bookending the Burning Ambition segment we take the opportunity to read and discuss some listeners’ e-mails.
We also make a big entrance into the Cs as well as the mighty Seventh Son of a Seventh Son by discussing the banger of a single that is Can I Play With Madness.
Other topics of discussion include Steve’s enthusiastic' backing vocal abilities and the joy to be heard in Nicko's drumbeats when he is well in his element.
Maiden A–Z 15: Brighter Than a Thousand Suns + Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter
We take a first peek into the 2006 slugger "A Matter of Life and Death" by turning the lights up to nuclear proportions. We also touch on full album performances in a live-set.
Aside from this, we dig into Maiden's only number-one single:
Dickinson’s rowdy rocker entitled: "Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter."
Henrik joins us to make sure we don't mess up our facts too gravely. E = mc2 and nerding out on Maiden equals awesome.
Maiden A–Z 14: The Book of Souls + Brave New World
Maiden A–Z 13: Blood Brothers + Blood on the World’s Hands
Maiden A–Z 12: Bass of the Beast
We take the opportunity to focus on the basslines of Iron Maiden's unrivaled center pillar, Mr. Steve Harris. To aid us, bass player extraordinaire Erik Arkö joins to perform and discuss The Bass of the Beast.
Maiden A–Z 11: Back in the village + Be quick or be dead
We also touch on some of Bruce's final shows in his first run with the band, the lack of guitar harmonies, and the possible identity crisis of 1990s Iron Maiden. It's not likely to happen, but we also discuss the prospects of a 1990s retrospective tour set.
Maiden A–Z 10: The Apparition + The Assassin
Maiden A–Z 9: AOR-Maiden with Dan Swanö
Maiden A–Z 8: Alexander the Great + The Angel and the Gambler + Another Life
Maiden A–Z 7: Age of innocence + The Alchemist
Maiden A–Z 6: Holiday special 2020
Skål
Maiden A–Z 5: Afraid to shoot strangers + The Aftermath
In this episode we wander the Woodland Cemetery outside Jon's house as well as discuss which particular songs prompted us to start playing guitar. Other points of discussion include dissecting what would've happened to Maiden if there was no Blaze-era and pondering if the less than thousand capacity Gothenburgian club "Kåren" was in fact turned into a museum as on-stage Blaze claimed it would be. Suffice to say, this episode has a bit of everything and indeed fits the darker seasons we are amidst.
As always we love to hear from you guys!

Maiden A–Z 2: 2 Minutes to Midnight
In this episode we tackle the renowned classic 2 Minutes to Midnight with minutious precision in detail. Is there an epic and dynamic piece of music hidden in this saturated rocker? How can Nicko’s drums sound so great on Powerslave? Which live version of the song kicks the most ass? It's a good one, folks. Let us know what you think!

Maiden A–Z: The introduction of the Beast
We are two huge Iron Maiden nerds who have taken it upon ourselves to go on a journey through the band's entire discography. In alphabetical order. One song at a time! Neither one of us are what we would call Iron Maiden experts but both of us are seasoned podcasters, so in that regard we are hardly strangers in a strange land.
It doesn’t require help from a clairvoyant to see that the road ahead is a long one. We hope you will join us on our journey into this brave new world and that you will not consider the time you spend with us… wasted years.
Intro and outro music composed and performed by Jonatan Hedlin.
