Overall I'm really pleased with it despite a slightly dodgy picture and mix in places but the varied set more than makes up for those minor complaints.

The same few Iron Maiden docs turn on Sky Arts fairly regularly (more than ones on Metallica do ) eg Flight 666,

^ Yeah I really need to watch Sky Arts a lot more for this kind of thing.Regarding Metallica documentaries,most channels tend to show the making of the Black album from the classic albums series which I've had on DVD since 2001.

Yeah, I was gonna mention the Classic Albums on Number of the Beast, but then there are loads of CA eps (this past week has had repeats at 4pm/11am, no less).

When it comes to Maiden, Maybe it's just me but I have to admit that my favourite albums to listen to are from the Di'Anno era. The classic line up of Paul Di'Anno/Steve Harris/Dave Murray/Adrian Smith and the late great Clive Burr.

Iron Maiden 1980
Killers 1981

The stuff they were putting out then was glorious metal but it had that almost punkish rough edge to it as well. I thought it was the fucking dogs bollocks and I still do.

A few years back there was a channel called Heyday TV which I think had rights to rock DVDs (also only broadcast from midnight-4am) which mainly featured contributors of the Classic Rock Magazine variety, but they did use DiAnno when talking about Maiden, and he seemed an alright character to me.

But I prefer the Dicko & Nicko show
