Early Days Review by DVDTimes

DVDTimes.co.uk has posted an in-depth review of Maiden's upcoming The Early Days DVD, due out on November 1st. It's not an overall positive interview, but it still gives the DVD a good rating. Below is an excerpt from the beginning of the review:

*This is the first in what, at least, has the potential to be an exciting series of releases. We best first be honest; Iron Maiden are one of daftest, crassest band in the history of music. Their lyrics are overblown, the music as subtle as a sledgehammer, their artwork borders on the offensively stupid and they are blessed with some of dimmest fans in the history of fandom (and before you seethe at that, just watch the LWT documentary on here for some lovely examples). But, having said all that, anyone whose ever drawn Eddie T Head on the inside of their schoolbooks or pestered their mum to sow a hugely unfortunate and embarassing patch on the back of their denim jacket will be rejoicing inside at this. I will be honest. I am a fan. Mock if you will. *

The complete review can be found here.

Confusing the verbs "to sow" and "to sew" doesn't look very professional for a journalist. Whoever he is, that man is not only an idiot, he's an uneducated one too!

Buy it - it's worth your money!

Live At Ruskin is a great show and Paul is in top form!

Unfortunately Beast over hammersmith, live at rainbow and dortmund'83 looks tha same as my bootlegs. I though the quality would be better
Anyway - interviews are very interesting, totp too but whole stuff is only dolby digital stereo - no 5.1 sound
