excelente , UP THE IRONS

excelente , pero son tantos y tan buenos los videos de Maiden que tendrian que tener 4 o 5 dvds para que la colección fuera completa.
Sin embargo , es una buena colección March 8, 2007

Good, but if you have their other DVDs then don't bother.

Iron Maiden are one of the greatest bands ever, having all these classic videos is awesome, but the menu on this DVD is completely annoying. It is really slow getting to the song you want to watch and the computer generated eddie is just tacky.

If you have the new rerelease enhanced CDs then you already have these videos included with your audio purchase. A highly recommended DVD is 'The History of Iron Maiden Part 1: The Early Days'. They haven't released part 2 yet, but part 1 has 5 of the promo videos, 4 early live sets, an awesome 90 minute documentary, and more - a much better purchase for your money.

To summarize this DVD review: It is good, but not necessary.

RECOMMENDATION: Buy 'The History of Iron Maiden Part 1: The Early Days' and be sure to purchase part 2 whenever it comes out - perhaps even start annoying the band about it. Also, if you are a Maiden fan and do not yet have 'A Matter of Life and Death', be sure to pick that up as soon as you can - it is a great CD! January 4, 2007

not much to say, just one word GREAT

If you are a fan of Iron Maiden DO NOT HESITATE TO BUY THIS! I assure you you will be amazed! I bought it and it's just great. Eddie's animation is great and there is a lot of videos NEVER SEEN BEFORE!!! So why spend time, BUY IT!!! November 1, 2005

Visions of the Beast

As a huge Iron Maiden fan, I'm glad I found this. This set contains all Maiden's videos from their first twelve albums. The only real problem with this whole thing is that the menus are a bit slow, but that doesn't really make much of a difference. If you're into Maiden, this is an excellent buy. July 4, 2005

Superb Piece

Maybe in some respects this DVD compilation is for fans, but the collection is quite good, and very representative of the MAIDENs over the years.
The Animated intro is great Eddie material, and if the band can edit the audio, and process the video ( clean it up somewhat) then that will make it way better.
Still, as it is, this is one fun piece of work. If you play it back on any decent 5.1, you should have an option to play back in a kind of pseudo 5.1 surround sound. And videos are excellent collections, and I suspect that with the DVD releases planned we will be getting some great material reworked.
It looks like Steve Harris is maybe discovering some new audio and video toys, so if he can follow Brian May and Roger Taylor's lead, then the old material can be re-edited and cleaned up.
Whatever they do, if you like MAIDEN, then this is an absolute must for your collection.
