Iron Maiden

[ashman]

yeh, 'tis good, its pretty cool on "Live at the Rainbow", but dave does something different, he actually plays notes on the top string.


What ever happened to the maiden army and how can I join?

I found this thread on the 4th page come on guys...

[MostlyHarmless]

i've had Paschendale goin round my head for three weeks solid.. not that im complaining! more people shold be 'encouraged' to like MAIDEN! violence may be neccesary.... :evil:

[iamtheking]

iron maiden LIVES!!

[GurS]

hi guys, i'm not posting from 20 to 6 until tomorrow night, i'd just like to say I'm sorry to everyone i've pissed off in the past year

(it's the annual jewish day of judgement. tonight and tomorrow, it's decided if i have a good or crappy year this year. so i'm sorry)

[ashman]

iron maiden LIVES!!


They never died... :naughty:

[Thunder Fingers]

They never died... :naughty:

:lol: :naughty:

[ed hunter]

Steve only use 2 fingers(me too :p i cant play with three for ****..)... and i schooled my teacher with that song(not to brag but he went like "um.. yeah... let me get my pick" :p) its not that hard realy... how long have you been playing?

ive had my bass for a ear but ive only had 5 months of lessons at 20 mins a week, if you watch the vidio on the iron maidne album it looks distictly like he uses 3 fingers. i tend to be able to lay most stuff with jsut my first finger which is good but i cant do that

yes, it might look like that, but it is just his third finger following the rest of the hand...he have said so in interviews(i have the same thing.. never thought of it before someonementioned it..)

[YDload]

Yes, I've noticed it in my own two-finger playing; the ring finger is not very independent and will frequently flail along with the other two when they are moving very quickly and ferociously.

[ed hunter]

ah i need tow ork on 2 finger playing because i loose the timing with it because trying to work it al out its 1 more thing to concentrate on when you use 2 fingers

[Ironclad_Sausage]

How much u think tickets would cost to see an iron maiden gig? Just curious how much incase "The Early Days" tour comes around.

[ed hunter]

i dont know but the cost does not bother me i havnt been to see maidne and i wil do this time no matter the cost. i have no idea sorry.

have any of you heard the romours goign around about maiden doing ozfest what do you all think about it. ive also herd rumors its the last one with ozzy and its a donington but that was froma guy at school who pretends to knwo alot about everythign but doesnt

[Ironclad_Sausage]

I doubt it, ozzfest is ususally Heavy-er bands, but its not impossible. As for ozzys last ozzfest, It wouldn't suprise me cause you know, he's nearly cripple.

[HondoII]

hmm

EMI France confirms maiden tour for 2005.

June 24/25 will be the first date: Parc des princes - France


kinda answers your tour question right there

[Thunder Fingers]

ah i need tow ork on 2 finger playing because i loose the timing with it because trying to work it al out its 1 more thing to concentrate on when you use 2 fingers
:lol: whats realy fun, when i change from any other string to the e string i also change from steve to geddy lee playing :p i only use my middle finger... personal style.... wheeeey. :D

[metdrummer]

I play drums and Hallowed be thy name is very hard


er.......No its very basic

[ashman]

How much u think tickets would cost to see an iron maiden gig? Just curious how much incase "The Early Days" tour comes around.

Well when I saw them in sheffield, I payed £46 for the ticket and travel...I think the ticket itself was £26...so its not that expensive. But expect to pay more if you see them at a festival. They are doing a festival tour next year, which IS the Early days tour (well they say the setlist is going to be from the first 3 albums).

"Er...now what do I say?"

"I dunno"

"Oh yeah, Maiden rules!!!"

[The Mercenary]

^

Yea i think i payed about £45 to see them at the 'download' festival (donington) in 2003

[shadow_stalker]

er.......No its very basic


depende on how hard you make it for yourself

but normally it is simple

[ed hunter]

I doubt it, ozzfest is ususally Heavy-er bands, but its not impossible. As for ozzys last ozzfest, It wouldn't suprise me cause you know, he's nearly cripple.

ok wel if you search on google for ozzfest 2005 7 of the top 10 results are to do with rumors to do with maiden doing ozfest would be col tho if it was ozzys last and maidne were there. itd be absoloutly huge every band would be there woudl be best concert ever i think

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

er.......No its very basic

Not Nickos Live version.

[ed hunter]

i dunno abotu the drumming. but from people who have lernt maiden i know it can be pretty hard

[GurS]

one of the hardest maiden drum beats is out of the silent planet. doing the triplets on the bass drum with one pedal is nigh on impossible.

[ashman]

NICKO FOR DEMI-GOD (after HARRIS FOR GOD)

ah nice

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

Ok I must know. What is your favorite Iron Maiden drawing/picture. Mine would either be the One with Ed holding the Devils head, The trooper of course, or the Run to the Hills one.

[YDload]

I like the Powerslave cover or that Killers pic you've got as your avatar.

[GurS]

Powerslave, SIT and Seventh son all have great covers. I also really like the one from No Prayer with Eddie about to kill the dude, and he's got metal claws.

My favourite picture, though, is the band staring at a cooked brain in Piece of Mind

[Thunder Fingers]

Killers and The Trooper eddie is my two favortites..

[Lord Abortion]

Not Nickos Live version.
thanks, should have made it clear the version I meant, sorry !

[ashman]

Fave Eddy, would have to be: SSOASS (well the animation when he pulls that baby type thing out himself, or SIT, Powerslave...so many...can't choose

[rik]

raising hell is cool too

Oh wait, THAT'S my favorite picture ever.

[GurS]

i have a good taste in pictures :D

[Facsimile]

My favourite cover art is Live After Death. He just looks so **** powerful there.

[shadow_stalker]

i like the holographic album cover for rock in rio that is so damn cool!

[Burning inside]

I like the picture on the Visions of the Beast DVD. I just looks so evil and cool.

[Metalheadsrus]

well i think number of the beast is the best cos... well its just so awsome, so is best of the beast!

[GurS]

notb is cool

and this thread = dying :(

[ashman]

Hmm...must think of a way to ressurect the thread...hmm...hows about, What was the first Maiden song you learnt to play all the way through?

Mine was The Trooper, such a great song and easy to play, but the gallop rhythm is hard to perfect, I'm still trying to get it to sound perfect...

[GurS]

i think the thread went downhill with all the "what maiden can you play"?

i'll ask a different question:

What shows of dianno's talent better? STA or Killers?

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

I Like Dianno's voice in Remember Tommorow but in general, I think his voice was better in Killers.

[-Listy-]

i think it was 'Iron Maiden' on the ST on bass for me, im going to learn Strange world next on guitar, thats one of my faves from the Di anno period, such a beautiful song

[Burning inside]

Who do you think sings Afraid to Shoot Strangers?

Blaze or Dickinson?

[GurS]

bruce sang it originally. i think you mean, who sings it better

[Burning inside]

Basically ............................ yeah.

[Lord Abortion]

I love strange world and remember tomorrow
he was better on Iron maiden but then stuff like another life and twilight zone he is cool on too

[GurS]

strange world PWNZ

Iron Maiden Rules

[s0ldsoul4roknrol]

But seriously, can anyone reccomend which Iron Maiden album to buy first?

[GurS]

lol

Number of the beast, my good man, best introduction to maiden there is. After that, get Powerslave, and from there i'd say either go for seventh son, one of the di'annos or one of the two newest ones

[ashman]

How many times has that question been asked? like a trillion..

[GurS]

so's your's, ash :p

[Thunder Fingers]

where is Frail? this thread have gone downwards since he dissapeard...

[Firecracker]

i'm still waiting for another album. :)

[GurS]

yeh, eddie, you're right :(

WE DEMAND FRAIL

[GreatCornholio]

I've started listening to maiden a lot recently, their 2 albums i have are powerslave, and the best of. but they're really the only metal band i listen to. What other bands do ya think are similar to maiden (powermetal i think its called) and are worth listening to?
cheers.

[GurS]

Powermetal is like In Flames (moot)

Maiden are NWOBHM, New Wave Of British Heavy Metal.

so i suggest checking out other NWOBHM bands, such as sampson (bruce's old band) and judas priest. you may want to check out Paul Di'Anno and the Killers, too

[Thunder Fingers]

if the guy wants power metal: Stratovarius are masters there.

Judas priest is nothing like maiden(Maiden is SOOOOO much better)... and bruces band was called samson...

[rik]

Has anyone heard janicks old band "white spirit" (I think, can't remember). They any good?

[Shady Ultima]

I just picked up Iron Maiden, and Piece of Mind, both are amazing albums. I really like Paul's voice, this being the first I heard from him, it's not better than Bruce, but it's kinda interesting. I love Remember Tomorrow, especially when he hold "SKY" so long and high. And The Trooper is the best Iron Maiden song ever.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

if the guy wants power metal: Stratovarius are masters there.

Judas priest is nothing like maiden(Maiden is SOOOOO much better)... and bruces band was called samson...

Stratovarius and Blind Guardian are the two easiest to get into, and still my favourites....you know im a power metal fiend!!!

[YDload]

What were those Iron Maiden songs that best exemplified "power metal" again? I saw the question answered before when I didn't have as many albums, but now I think I've got more examples in my personal collection again (like Flash of the Blade?).

[ed hunter]

does anybody else find the older a maiden album is the more you like it? by older i mean the longer you have owned it. because powerslave is by far my newest maiden album and its the 1 i dont like as much they always seem to take me a while to get into, peice of mind and dance of death did as well has any body else found that (i love peice of mind and dance of death as much as any other dont get me wrong)

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

umm in some ways a few songs do, like "heaven can wait" with the up-lifting chorus, and "sun and steel" is like an old old style power metal song with its chorus as well. The into to "the prophecy" is as well id say, overall they have the lyrical themes for power metal but the musically they dont play power metal.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

my first studio album by them was "no prayer for the dying" and i was obsessed with every song on it, probley why i hail it as such an underated album. I still find that to be one of my most played albums by them, the newest is Dance of Death because i had all their albums previous to that being released and i couldnt have been happier with it :)

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

where is Frail? this thread have gone downwards since he dissapeard...


sorry Eddie lol, this forum isnt what it used to be and i just havent been on that much latley! ive been super busy with college midterms this week, but im back now :)

[Thunder Fingers]

Stratovarius and Blind Guardian are the two easiest to get into, and still my favourites....you know im a power metal fiend!!!

oh, yes i know :D power metal is an rather fun music style, Stratovarius are exelent, blind guardian are good to, and Rhapsody, great on their instruments, their lyrics i just find funny :lol: great to have you back :thumb:

i got to ask you: should i get an jazz or an pbass profile for my Warmoth bass? :p

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

hehe, i was only gone for a few days haha. did you read my Metalliac concert review? it was a grand on indeed (that was saturday). Power metal i think is the most rewarding style to get into because there is so much that can be done with it, its not a limiting genre like black / death metal where there is a set pattern (though i do live black metal, not as big on death). I have sooooooo many differnet power metal bands that ive found, the large majority of them i enjoy alot but i still go back to the leaders of the genre as my favourites :)

for your bass, id go with the P-bass one!! and have you heard any updates about McBrain's damage going on tour?

[ashman]

so's your's, ash :p


I was being Ironic :naughty:


To ed hunter: Well the more I listen to a Maiden album the more I like it...e.g. I used to listen to SSOASS when I was like 2 (I didn't personally buy it or anything, it's just my uncle used to listen to them), and IMO I think its the best album ever.

well some good heavy metal bands are Hammerfall and Helloween

[Lord Abortion]

come on this was, in page 3
maiden! maiden! maiden!

[shadow_stalker]

does it matter that it was in page 3?

what happened to paul di'anno and blaze baley?

[Lord Abortion]

does it matter that it was in page 3?

what happened to paul di'anno and blaze baley?
bayley has a band called BLAZE now and Dianno is in battlezone last time i heard...

[ashman]

Blaze went to form a band called BLAZE, I have only heard SOTC live by them.

I think Di'anno joined a band called Killers...

[Thunder Fingers]

for your bass, id go with the P-bass one!! and have you heard any updates about McBrain's damage going on tour?

no, when its not comming to norway, i usually dont care where an tour goes :p

[The Mercenary]

search for anything deemed NWOBHM - New Wave Of British Heavy Metal

[flappersack]

Some judas priest sounds similar to maiden.
Priest were one of the bands that kickstarted the NWOBHM, of which maiden emerged.

[Kingofdudes]

POWERSLAVE! one of the best albums out there

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^

hell no, lol.


for a first album id say get "the number of the beast" or "brave new world" as they are the easiet to get into and sing along with. Powerslave is better when you are more used to their sound.

[toolboy84]

My first album was the Number of the Beast. I loved it, and still do in fact. My favourite album is Powerslave though.

[flappersack]

i voted maiden!
at this point it is even between metallica and iron maiden
40 -40

[ashman]

Whats this buisness about Nicko being injured?


I heard he injured his back before the DoD tour, so whenever they had an interval in a show, Nicko went to go see his Physiotherapist (who I think is a maiden fan). But thats all I heard. I hope he's ok though/getting better :thumb:


Maiden 40
Tallica 41

Dark day for metal :mad:

[GurS]

question: what members of the band are expendable, i.e. iron maiden would continue even if which members would quit?

i'd say if jannick quit, maiden would continue, but otherwise they'd call it quits if someone else left

[shadow_stalker]

i would say all except harris are probably expendable

[Thunder Fingers]

i would say all except harris are probably expendable

and dave, dave is very important... like megadeth, david ellefson and dave mustaine WAS megadeth.. even though david didnt write much...

[GurS]

OMG opeth are drawing with maiden !

anyhoo, i don't think maiden could stand to lose bruce or H a second time, and nicko and dave too are far too intergrated... and as for steve, well, nuff said really

cudnt have put it better my self

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Opeth have no chance of beating Maiden!!! and i think that no member of Iron Maiden is disposable, if they lost any member they group would call it a day. The only possible exception might be with Janick.

[Thunder Fingers]

Argh... opeth have one vote on Iron Maiden...

[Firecracker]

i want to get some eddie shorts. i've seen them around. but they're more expensive than i can afford, i would really want some though.

miss mcbrain never says much more than one word or an emote

[ed hunter]

but maiden are not gonna go through to the next round like this they need to vote againsed opeth here

[Permanent Solution]

Maiden and Opeth are tied...someone go vote Maiden :thumb:

[GurS]

me thinks maiden will be either second or third :(

but i DO think that if maiden go through, everyone that voted for opeth will vote for maiden, therefore metallica losing

[ed hunter]

yer i think maiden may do it they 1 vote up. but i agree if the go through they will walk it because of people just not wanting to see tallica win. so i guess its a falce win but a win all the same.

[xIron_Maiden]

noooooooooooooooooooooo! maiden didnt get through to the final. curse all you fans who didnt vote. tho im now gonna have to vote tallica in the next round what about you lot? who you gonna vote for?

[Grey Incision]

Opeth

[GurS]

it really is :(

what, exactly, ARE the nodding donkeys? *check the FOTD album sleve if you're not sure what i am on about*

[Thunder Fingers]

its one of the names maiden used when they played an secret gig... *if you have Best of the B-sides, theres an song called Nodding donkey blues...*

[GurS]

yeh, i know of the song. but haven't heard it.




best b-side ever is either reach out or total eclipse

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

Does anyone have Woman in Uniform. I cant find it anywhere.

[GurS]

it's on their first ever live record, "Live!! + one"

i found it on amazon once for 30 quid

[ed hunter]

what covers of iron maiden have you heard and what did you think of them. ive herd children of bodoms covers of the trooper and aces high and they are painful ive also herd cradel of filths version of fear fo the dark and thats terrible

[GurS]

cradle never did fear of the dark

hate their version of hallowed be thy name, though

[ed hunter]

its hard to work out wether it is them or not because half of them are fakes when downloading you can never be sure especialy as im jsut downwlianding them out of curiocity i dont know the bands that well so i cant tell if its them or not

[^METAL^MANIAC^666^]

^^
simple solution buy the cds. Nuh, i download half my **** to. I think Arch Enemy have done some Maiden covers. I know they did Aces High. You can also get Women in Uniform on the Visions of the Beast DVD. Itz got some killer clips on it, and a couple of cool cartoon versoins of there music clips. Any way if you don't have it check it out

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

cool track with that weird harmony
e----12-12--14-15-14-12----14-14-14-15-15-15-17-1514-
b13------------------------15-------------------------------16


what is the 2nd guitar harmony for that bit? i cant figure it out is it 4ths 7ths or what?

[ashman]

what covers of iron maiden have you heard and what did you think of them. ive herd children of bodoms covers of the trooper and aces high and they are painful ive also herd cradel of filths version of fear fo the dark and thats terrible


I was at this Metal night club yesterday, and I heard an acoustic version of Number the Beast, twas worse cover ever...I also missed Can I play with Madness last night, and I missed Run to the hills last week and the week before. I feels so dirty.

I don't think Janick married, he looks like one of them "ManWhores".

j/k. <3 jannick (not gay)

Sounds kinda gay to me.

Losfer words...best Maiden instrumental ever. I like the Harmony thing, but I have no idea what the second guitar plays. But Maiden usually harmonise with 3rds and 5ths, have you tried them?

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

Stop ragging on Janick.

[ashman]

Why? Thats the sole reason he's in Maiden...so that everyone can take the piss out of him. lol, we all love him really (oh and in the words of GurS 'Not Gay')

[HondoII]

Janick owns. I'm sick of people bashing on him. Maiden put on a hell of a show live, and Janick does nothing but add to that experience.

[ashman]

Yeh, he is cool, I was just joking you know. But I don't like it when he runs around the stage instead of doing a solo properly

[Thunder Fingers]

Yeh, he is cool, I was just joking you know. But I don't like it when he runs around the stage instead of doing a solo properly

it was somthing like that...

Cof did an ok job covering "Hallowed Be Thy Name" except the **** vocals. Dani sounds like 90 year old who got kicked in the nads.

Number of the Beast is great, Powerslave is too, Killers' a classic, it's hard to go wrong with Maiden.

If you're looking for a best of, go with Best Of The Beast

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

one thing that annoys me is jannick's little march-type thing he does live. don't know why, but that iritates the hell out of me.

which is my favourite song of all time but they did a good job

[ashman]

Yeh, they did add a different feel, a feeling like testicles being pierced with a sharp pointy object.

But thats the only bad cover on Witchheart and Lovecraft.

The two best Maiden songs

The Trooper and The Number of the Beast

[NickStahl33]

ahh.. the all-mighty MAIDEN!

..arguably the best metal band since Sabbath started it all:

1) Black Sabbath
2) Iron Maiden
3) Metallica
4) Slayer

..pretty much the only metal bands that matter.

1) The Number of the Beast
2) Powerslave
3) Piece of Mind
4) Killers [tie]
4) Iron Maiden [tie]
- Seventh Son
- Somewhere.. screw the rest.

wicker man was a solid comeback, but check out maiden b-sides like cross-eyed mary.

[GurS]

total eclipse is still the best maiden b-side

or maybe reach out

[ashman]

I think most of the B-sides were good, few are rubbish.

I'm currently listenning to Doctor, Doctor lol

[Thunder Fingers]

Total Eclipse is an excellent song, glad it's on my version of NOTB.

[DimebagDarrell]

I just got Visions of The Beast and theres a track on it Called "Women In Uniform" which is with d'iano but its not on either self titled or killers so what happened to it? anyone know

Also if any one has VOTB check out women in uniform and see if you can spot Leslie Ash ;)

[HondoII]

omg todays addiction is Reach Out (well I listen to this song everyday but meh) and Still Life.

[ashman]

It was the first single...I think it was on the soundhouse tapes (methinks).

I never knew that was leslie ash, I'll just go and watch it. :naughty:

[GurS]

not quite, ash

it was on an EP called LIVE!! + One. It was released after the S/T and featured Dennis Straton. It had 3 songs from the S/T live, plus one new studio song, called "Women in Uniform".

I swear i answered this question last week

[ashman]

Ahh...Ok. well close enough lol. This thread is getting all crazy...

[GurS]

yeh, and sucky :( used to be better :upset:

[ed hunter]

is it possable to get hold of the origional demo tape that maiden made? cos surely it must have been copied?

[GurS]

the Soundhouse tapes? you can regulrarly get copies on ebay.... every so often, an original comes along. if you can prove it's original, it'll sell for about 4, maybe 5 hundred pounds (talking about ebay.co.uk)

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^

ive seen them on there as well, as for e-bay items im mainly intrested in getting old tour tee shirts, concert posters, and dvd's :)

[ashman]

yeh, and sucky :( used to be better :upset:


I think its cool, answering n00bs to maidens questions, we are like the elders :lol:

When I was like 3, I used to have a SSOASS tour tee-shirt, it was so cool, but I didn't see them then.

I only just noticed this but Sanctuary isn't on the Original (none enhanced) version of Iron Maiden...Was a B-side at any point? or did they just include it on the album for the sake of it?

I can't wait til I get my new MP3 player 2nite, I'll be able to carry around with me every Iron Maiden album *drools*

[GurS]

Sactuary was never realised on the original iron maiden on this side of the pond... but in the US version, Sanctuary was released on the albm. Sanctuary was a single, after Running Free but before Women In Uniform... the single cover has eddie stabbing Margret Thatcher. FACT!

and i'm jealous ash :upset:

[icebase]

I love Dance of Death, first Maiden CD. I don't know much about the Maidens but they rule!!

man you need to go back to 1980 when the band started out man. like there has been what fourteen albums if not more DOD was just the latest in the line of maiden stunners there has been and that album count didn include any of the live concert cd's :thumb:

[icebase]

Get 'em All!!!

people your readin a hardcore maiden rock fans post here i have every maiden album there is i think well thats what im goin by and since i have five albums all singed by the band DOD, Powerslave, Best Of The Beast, Brave New World and Rock in Rio. and there estamated worth about a grand. or thereabouts :D

One word comes to mind...Bastard :lol:

I didn't know he was stabbing Margaret Thatcher, I noticed she was on the Women in Uniform cover.

[ashman]

As an add to the that post (look up ever so slightly^). I was listening to the B-sides last night...and before Wasted Years (last song), Mr. Bruce says whats sounds like "Do not spend your time Milano, worrying about those wasted beers"...Which is great :thumb:

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

i really really like "reach out" with Adrian on vocals, even though bruce bails him out on the high notes, the guitar tone and melody is fantastic.

conclusion: yeah, your right...

[GurS]

do you guys like total eclipse? it's one of my all time fave maiden songs, but i know a lot of people don't like it.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

YES!! i love that song....Sunrise has gone, freezing up the fires.
Sunrise has gone, numbing our desires!!! A true gem jammed in the middle of to many well known band classics.

[Thunder Fingers]

all i can say about that song is that.. it sounds like somthing i would have wrote :p

frail: were the kings of the IM Thread! :D

[GurS]

yeh, well... it's a perfect remedy to gangland


(which i actually like, but still worst on the album)

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

[Armor O'Malley]

Has Iron Maiden ever released a collection of all their B-sides?

If not, I'd like to see it.

[YDload]

I used to skip "Total Eclispe" because I felt it wasn't energetic enough and it was standing in the way of "Hallowed Be Thy Name." But once I listened to it the whole way through I can appreciate it more, like when the whole tempo of the song speeds up just for the guitar solo. They should do that more often.

[ashman]

Has Iron Maiden ever released a collection of all their B-sides?

Yep its called "Best of B Sides", its in the Eddy Archives.

[GurS]

i wish i had the eddie archives :(

[ed hunter]

im gong ot get it soon i hope when i have money

[Lateralias]

Isnt Eddies Archives the metal eddie case that comes with like 3 cd's and a shotglass or something? Yeah I hope to get that too, only problem is that its pretty expensive

do you guys like total eclipse? it's one of my all time fave maiden songs, but i know a lot of people don't like it.

Total Eclipse is a great underrated song on NOTB, I always considered that and The Prisoner the two great underrated songs of Number of the Beast.

[GurS]

that's the one, lateralias.

****, i should have asked for that for my birthday >_<

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

i got i for X-mas a couple of years back (eddie's archive) and i think the live cd of "beast over hammersmith" is worth it alone, wonderful setlist and recording quality!!!

another completly underated Iron Maiden song to me is "Flash of the Blade" from powerslave, H and Davey's harmonies are fantastic and the chorus is to die for. One of my favourites to play on guitar as well.

[YDload]

"Flash of the Blade" is the ultimate in cheesy Maiden. But I kind of like it.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

that and "quest for fire" :) both two of my favourites!!

[YDload]

That's where I'm going to have to cut you off: "Quest of Fire" is atrocious. Maybe it's because I insist on a little accuracy from such an intelligent band, but I don't like songs about cavemen living at the same time as dinosaurs!

[Shady Ultima]

I heard Opeth's cover of Remember Tomorrow, and I HATE IT!!! How could they play a song that's all bass... and NOT HAVE BASS!!!!! It's so horrible. I have a cover of Metallica playing the first verse, and it's WAY better. Sorry, I don't think anyone should ever even attempt to cover Maiden because : One of the best singers, one of the best metal bassists, if not the best ever, a great drummer, and 2 (3 now) AMAZING guitarists. No one else can have that.

[Deciever]

I've heard the Cradle Of Filth version of Fear Of The Dark... it isn't that good...

I heard Cradle of Filth's version of Hallowed be thy name, and it sucked to put it bluntly (ha ha, suck and blunt, hilarious)

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

i think COF's version is one of the best Maiden covers out there. Wonderfully orchestraed keyboard intro and the guitar tone (as well as solos) are top knotch, Nick even through in some hasty drums as well. Dani of course sung it in his typical fashion which gave it their personality, aside from Children of Bodom's cover of "the trooper" id say its the best ive heard.

[icebase]

One word comes to mind...Bastard :lol:

Yes I am thankyou. Im only sixteen but i went to a Dublin concert on the DOD Tour and got three signed and Two of them in London man you should have been at one. Did you go to one??

[Riva]

I picked my friend up to go to uni, and as we were driving, I had Powerslave pumping on the stereo. So any, my friend, who is convinced he is a metal head after graduating from Linkin Park to Dream Theater and Tool (both of whom I love, by the way), told me at length that bands as simple and untechnical as Iron Maiden bored him, since if he wanted to listen to thrashy music without skill he would listen to punk.

So I put on Losfer Words, and saw the self-important smirk melt off of his face. Then I skipped to Rime Of The Ancient Mariner and finished him off, especially when that long interlude in the middle comes in. It was especially awesome as I had the bass cranked so he could hear Steve Harris' pure awesomeness. Just had to say how much I love it. At least now he will listen to other bands besides Dream Theater and Tool.

[GurS]

nice work mang :thumb:

LOL, I got it the day it came out, but I was in hospital having a operation, so I got my mum to go get it for me...she even paid for it :D
I have used the shot glass so much now, its had everything in it... :thumb:

Yer, CoB did a fantastic job on the trooper, their version of aces high is great as well.

[Lord Abortion]

yeah it is good but i still like hallowed... the best

[ed hunter]

i hate cob's version of the trooper, lissen to it when he says the bugal sounds and the charge begins he doesnt even pronounce it properly he says "the bucket sown adn the char it kiss" id prefer it if he lernt to sing the words proplerly befor he sings the songs and i know he is forigne so even mroe reason for him to make sure he can prnounce them properly.

I'm joking btw, I love foreigners, except when they ruin a beautiful thing like the Trooper.

[GurS]

did you know nicko's real name is michael? michael mcbrain

[ed hunter]

no but nicko sounds better

[GurS]

nicko was the name of michael's teddy bear. and then he adopted for himself


USELESS KNOWLEDGE

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

not that bassiest, Robin Graves played on that version and he was a finger bassiest, their new bassiest Dave Pubis does use a pic however :)

Alexi sings in the style of black metal, if you could understand every word it wouldnt sound right. When a band does a cover of another groups songs they throw in some of their own style as well. If that alone makes the song "terrible" than id say you have a terrible outlook on their cover, as the music had never sounded better for the song.

[ashman]

Are we still on page 99? This last page is taking ages to fill....

[GurS]

100?

YES! TEH WIN!

*happy 100 page everyone*

[Firecracker]

wooo!
i was listening to dance of death album on the way back from school on the bus today, and now i think that gates of tomorrow is one of my favourite songs on the album.

well then whats the point in having lryics if you cant actualy understand them?

and i hate that style of singing. i know you ve to put your own mark ona song but i think they put a bad mark ont he song they did ruin the trooper. i know i wouldnt be abe to play it tht well but i didnt like it all the same

Ever Heard the iced earth covers? those are pretty good too if you havnt :)

Also woot my band is finally listening to me and doing some maiden :p doing the wicker man and the clairvoyant at the local battle of the bands^.^

[ed hunter]

what do you all think is hte best maiden vidio i think its gotta be run to the hills because its so funny but it also has a large part of it concert.

[Thunder Fingers]

[KeinPlan]

i love the "holy smoke" video! :p its so great! :D

agreed

but the Aces high video is pretty cool too.

Rainmaker isn't bad... they play in a room and it rains... ok its about the rainmaker... but nickos drums and hair aren't wet... thats a little funny i think... ^^

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

Infinite Dreams........

[FatalEnergy]

The women in uniform video was the best video

more people enjoy it than dislike it, so i wouldnt say its a bad mark as Bodom have an giant following. When bands do cover songs, part of the reason they choose to do them is to see how a song would sound if anther group wrote it..or to put a more modern twist to an old song that inspired the group. If they play it identically the same what the use of even covering it when we already have the original? It's a way to show you show praise to a group by adding in your own elements to their songs.

[Spirit_In_Black]

heyt what are some easy maiden solos to play? (and i mean easy by maiden standards!)
i can only play the solos in children of the ****ed and infinate dreams.

[Spirit_In_Black]

lol i didnt kno they bleep D A M N

[Lord Abortion]

what do you all think is hte best maiden vidio i think its gotta be run to the hills because its so funny but it also has a large part of it concert.
I like the angel and the gambler vid the best

yessss

[shadow_stalker]

my favourite video is aces high that is cool

that is true but i dont think that style of singing works oan a maiden song. i think they are made for bruce too much and it just sounds wrogn when sung like them. i think the music is done well on the trooper. but just the vox. (i am very picky about vox) obv ou disagree but thers leaving you mark which you should do but i just cant stand those covers.

[GurS]

my favourite vid is the Camp Chaos Trooper

[ashman]

Easy solos: Number of the Beast, The Trooper, The Sign of the Cross, and Hallowed be thy Name...can't go wrong with them :thumb:

Best Video: Probably Camp Choas version of Aces High, Best video ever.

[GurS]

the aces high one is great, but the trooper one is better.

and the 2nd solo in blood brothers is easy. the running free 'soloish interlude' is easy, but it's just played fast

[Thunder Fingers]

well, i guess i got to put aces high up there to just becouse of steves lado bass in it :p

edit:
oh.. we where not talkin videos any more :p


errr.. hardest iron maiden solo.... errrh... blood on the worlds hands? :p im an bassist....

[ashman]

Where is the Trooper camp chaos video? I can't find it :(

er...hardest solo probably SSOASS, or Alexander the great...

*we were talking about easiest solos...*

oh right.... well as blood on the worlds hands is about steves only "solo" like thing, i guess i would have to place it there too...:p

[YDload]

I'm also curious as to what Maiden guitar solos are the hardest. They all sound about the same, difficulty-wise, to this bassist.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

that is true but i dont think that style of singing works oan a maiden song. i think they are made for bruce too much and it just sounds wrogn when sung like them. i think the music is done well on the trooper. but just the vox.

fair enough, i used to despite black metal vocals. just dont completly give up on it :)

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

I'm also curious as to what Maiden guitar solos are the hardest. They all sound about the same, difficulty-wise, to this bassist.

honestly...i know many many Maiden solos on guitar and Adrian are EASILY the hardest to play. Janick follows the same pattern, a F-major scale usually...and speed picks the majority of it, Davey's are preety rough at times due to his hammer-on speed and legatto style but overall if you know one Murray solo you can get the others down. Adrain however throws in alot of old bluesy licks, just he plays them so fast and intermingles them with speedy scales, taps, and many many bends. Of his, belive it or not "wasted years" is really really a bitch to play without messing up.
