I didn’t get back into metal until about 2000 (around the time Bruce and Adrian rejoined Maiden) and now I rarely listen to any Indie music.
Man on the Edge is a cracking song though and like you say, easily the best on the album  |
On the whole metal was shit back then. Grunge and then Nu-Metal spoiled everything for me.
All the bands i liked were suddenly there to be mocked by mags like Kerrang! and Metal Hammer - in favour of miserable shoegazers who are all dead now.
Thank heavens for Oasis (Who you don't rate if i recall) and chick country rock.
