Iron Maiden

[GurS]

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...*


do you have visions of the beast?

if yes, playing track 6 three times in a row unlocks a secret video... a different one for each disc. one of them is the camp chaos trooper.

AND DO NONE OF YOU REALISE THIS IS PAGE 100?

[GurS]

no longer page 100 :upset:

[Thunder Fingers]

Whats so special about page 100?! (i got post 666!!!! no that wasnt me.. was it post 1000 or somthing then? :p)

[ed hunter]

whats all this abou women in uniform i keep hering it mentind is it realy that good? of all the songs mentioned run to the hills is so often overlooked why? surly its one of the best but are people afraid of sound cheesy and n00bish by saying run to the hills?

[GurS]

it used to be my favourite... but it's honestly grown old on me.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Women in Uniform is catchy, but is not what id call anything memorable.

[icebase]

Has anyone seen the vid for paschendale? Saying that is there even a vid for paschendale?

[Lord Abortion]

of all the songs mentioned run to the hills is so often overlooked why? surly its one of the best but are people afraid of sound cheesy and n00bish by saying run to the hills?
run to the hills is overrated
it's like the fourth best song on NOTB! (after hallowed, invaders,and title track)
oh and women in uniform is pretty poor...

[shadow_stalker]

number of the beast is overated aswell!

[Lord Abortion]

hallowed be thy name though...

[shadow_stalker]

yeah hallowed be thy name is good, so is 22 acacia avenue

[shadow_stalker]

Has anyone seen the vid for paschendale? Saying that is there even a vid for paschendale?


a video for paschendale would be good, a better choice than no more lies

[icebase]

a video for paschendale would be good, a better choice than no more lies

Might be. But is it just me or are alot of Maiden vid's of them in concert. I'm not saying it's bad it's just getting old. What do you think?

[PeEpHoLe_10]

I saw Maidens self Titled the other day and decided to buy it. I like it,but i feel (as this,along with a best of is the only maiden i have) that this album probably wouldnt be very good compared to others. i love remember tommorow though.

how does this album compare to others?

[ashman]

Might be. But is it just me or are alot of Maiden vid's of them in concert. I'm not saying it's bad it's just getting old. What do you think?

Yeh, I think paschendale would be a great video, but it would have to be on a huge budget, or it might look crap...I was actually thinking about it the other day.

I don't mind it watching it them play, but in the out of the silent planet video, their not even playing it, its just loads of videos from the brave new world tour put into one....that made me so angry :angry:

Your welcome

:o, My new girlfriend doesn't like Maiden...and I can't convince her to like them...:(

[GurS]

play her journeyman (the electric version)


what kinda bands she into? that'd help us pick an ideal starter song for her

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

number of the beast is overated aswell!

neither the song nor the album is by any means.

[ashman]

play her journeyman (the electric version)

Shes into maroon 5 and crap like that...


NOTB is so not over rated...I love the song and the album. I love every song on that album except gangland...

[ed hunter]

play her journeyman (the electric version)


what kinda bands she into? that'd help us pick an ideal starter song for her

i got my gf into maiden cos she was into indie stuff so i sent her runing free, prowler and sanctuary. after that she loves the self titled album. but shes gone off them again :confused: but some consolations she now loves tallica so i supose at least some of the taste is good.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

my girlfriend loves Iron Maiden, but then again...she likes whatever the hell i tell her to like :thumb: haha

[jonathan1987]

play her tears in heaven
girls love it even if i dont

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

You guys are lucky. My girlfriends into emo and band like blink. But it could be worse, she could like rap. I've tried to convert her to Maiden many times.

[Shady Ultima]

My girlfriend doesn't like Maiden. She calls it Opera ****. Makes me mad. Oh well, she's got good musical tastes. She likes Slayer, but also Slipknot. She likes all the mainstream punk too, including GC which sucks.

[thelittledrummerboy]

Whats their best CD? I want to buy one.

Hard to say, if u want old skool rock go 4 "the number of the beast" but 4 pure iron maiden classic i reckon their best album is brave new world.

[Rock Roland]

I am not a number...I am a free man!

[The Clansman...secrets]

If yer lookin' for really good Maiden albums, why not try Powerslave? No? SOmewhere in Time...Brave New World...Dance of Death...they're all masterpieces.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

My girlfriend loves Iron Maiden, but likes some garbage like slipknot and korn, but hey...shes in high school hehe.

this is probably the most stupid thing anyone has said in this thread but i havnt even heard them before :upset:
the closest thing to hearing them is Tools cover of No Quarter

[ænima]

infact im going to download the original version of it right now!

[ænima]

oh **** i thought i was in the Zeppelin thread sorry..

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^^

there was question on "who wants to be a millionaire" that asked what type of bird sat upon the pharoah's shoulder and i knew it thanks to that song lol. (answer = albatoss).

[Spirit_In_Black]

im pretty sure ive mentioned this somewhere in this thread alredy... but what the hell.

The song Paschendale is criminally underrated, or at least i think it is , i dont know how many of you realise how great it is.
its right up there with hallowed be thy name, powerslave and fear of the dark on my all time favourite maiden songs!

maybe people dont talk about it as much because being off the dance of death album, its fairly new but nevertheless to me it was an instant maiden classic.

the song itself is like an epic journey, and an incredible one at that.
the lyrics are amazing and so is the music (especially the barrage of solos!)
i think all the orchestral noises and at one point the sounbd of an eagle or something like it were great finishing touches and they aid the song a lot.

there are quite a few parts of the song that give me chills up my spine no matter how many times i hear it.

what do you guys think?

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

I think "paschendale" for a newer track has gotten the approval of fans world over and given time will be put in its inevitable high thone next to the classics.

[ashman]

Paschendale is the best song they have done in years...its bloody amazing!!!

[ed hunter]

no i know exactly how great pachendale is. the lryics are amazing.

the songs is hard to remember, possably becayse its so long and it isnt in any way catchy but when you lissen to it properly its blows me away

[Shady Ultima]

Pachendale is great, but IMO the best song on DOD is either title track or Age of Innocence. I love the chorus to Age of Innocence and the title track is great all around.

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

Ya DoD, the title song is great. It makes you feel like your actually in the story.

[HondoII]

^^^^

there was question on "who wants to be a millionaire" that asked what type of bird sat upon the pharoah's shoulder and i knew it thanks to that song lol. (answer = albatoss).


I had to read the story in school. Thank God for maiden. I was the ONLY kid who ever liked the story in the class. My teacher was surprised that I understood it. Take that all you fools who say metal rots the brain!!

[Shady Ultima]

In my english class last year, not only was I the only one to like that story when we were done it, but before the test I brought in powerslave. Sadly.... only one person liked it other than me and this huge screamo kid siting next to me said "Face it Iron Maiden sucks" I could have cried.. Then the teacher turned it off before the bass solo... :upset:

[GurS]

Paschendale is, together with face in the sand and montsegur, the best song on that album. The title track is the worst song on the album. Also, the electric version of Journeyman>Acoustic.

But best of all is Nicko singing Age of Innocence :lol:

[ashman]

Electric version journeyman >>>>>>>> acoustic

ahh nickos version of age of innocence is called "Age of Innocence...How Old?" lol...what a guy.

[Shady Ultima]

Gurs I gotta disagree with you. I really don't like Face in the sand at all, find it to be the worst track. That or Wildest Dreams. Mind you it's still Iron Maiden, none of the songs 'suck' but I personally don't like those songs as much.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^

Face in the Sand isnt my favourite either, very weak song i think. However i do love Wildest Dreams.

[ashman]

Yeh face in the sand isn't the greatest Maiden song ever...

[Thunder Fingers]

Paschendale is, together with face in the sand and montsegur, the best song on that album. The title track is the worst song on the album. Also, the electric version of Journeyman>Acoustic.

got to agree with you, face in the sand is an 'kin great song, infact, im gonna listen to dance of death tonight! :p

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

Are you kidding me. Face in the Sand has got to be one of Nickos best songs(drumwise)

[MajikalLix]

Hi, Maiden Fans.
I finally scraped enough money together to buy another CD.
I'm thinking of getting an Iron Maiden CD.
I just want to get into these guys because i've heard some pretty good songs from them.
I was wondering which one would be the best choice for me.
I've got about 30 bucks to blow on some music.
Thank You in advance...?

[UntoldProphecy]

Piece of Mind or Seventh Son are my recommendations

[flappersack]

^^^exactly what he said.

[shadow_stalker]

number of the beast is my recomendation

[Permanent Solution]

I like Brave New World...three guitar parts is sweet...but most of the music I know off it come from Rock in Rio, and live is usually better so I dunno hah :thumb:

[icebase]

Yeh, I think paschendale would be a great video, but it would have to be on a huge budget, or it might look crap...I was actually thinking about it the other day.

I don't mind it watching it them play, but in the out of the silent planet video, their not even playing it, its just loads of videos from the brave new world tour put into one....that made me so angry :angry:

I did'nt see the Out Of The Silent Planet vid but the song's sweet.

Think maiden would put a budget on their stuff. After i seen Wildest Dreams i thought they had done away with the whole budget thing.

I first bought Number Of The Beast, but if you can't find that try Powerslave, Iron Maiden or Piece Of Mind which are all excellent albums of older Iron Maiden.

For newer Maiden, try Dance Of Death or Brave New World.

Oh, and Maiden are awesome!

[icebase]

I ****en love Alexander The Great, it's my favourite song. I LOVE IT!

Yea it's a good song a real good song but Hallowed be thy name is bloody GREAT man. Not saying it's better i think they are just about the same. I think.

[Lord Abortion]

Yea it's a good song a real good song but Hallowed be thy name is bloody GREAT man. Not saying it's better i think they are just about the same. I think.
hallowed be thy name is the best song ever by any band
alexander... is brilliant but not as good

[shadow_stalker]

hallowed be thy name is the best song ever by any band


i would have to disagree with you there mate it is very good but not the best song ever

[Lord Abortion]

Its been 12 years listening to maiden now and they are still the best
:thumb:

Don't watch out of the silent planet...worst vid ever.

Wildest dreams video has to be one of the best :thumb:

[HondoII]

Don't watch out of the silent planet...worst vid ever.

Wildest dreams video has to be one of the best :thumb:


umm no.

VIRUS is the absolutel worse video ever!

[Lord Abortion]

VIRUS is the absolutel worse video ever!
I agree but the angel and the gambler as i recall i have already said is the best

[rik]

Don't watch out of the silent planet...worst vid ever.

Wildest dreams video has to be one of the best :thumb:

Yer, out of the silent planet is a ****ty video, ****ing great song though.

[ashman]

Ok let's put it this way...

Out of the silent planet...great song 2nd worst video ever

Virus...worst video ever...but did anyone find it funny when the band members did a little mimeing of the words?

[GurS]

no.

<3 out of the silent planet. hardest maiden drum line IMO

[ashman]

I'm not saying that out of the silent planet is a bad song, IMO I think its one of the best songs on BNW, but the video is crap, it misses out quite a bit of the song, and it just footage of other songs performed from Rock in Rio, it just looks ****

[icebase]

I agree but the angel and the gambler as i recall i have already said is the best

It's an alright song but the vid aint so good.

Is it just me or do alot of people who have just started listening to maiden think they have only been around since like the brave new world album?
They dont seem to know any of their old stuff, the good stuff.

[ashman]

Yeh I've talked to some n00bs and they don't know about any of the other albums...

I forgot to mention this earlier...but whilst I was out on saturday at this "rock and metal" nightclub...some guy with a GMETID t-shirt called me a wannabe, 'cos I was wearing a wildest dreams t-shirt...I would've have hit the fool and told him to rinse his mouth out with holy water (tequila :D) but he was bigger than me...so I walked away in disgust...

[GurS]

lol. ash got pwned

[Thunder Fingers]

(35th official post of the week out of an attempted 3000)

pretty good album, its better than what most bands put out through their career, but not maidens best..

[GurS]

i prefer it to brave new world :eek:

[Shred Danson]

i prefer it to brave new world :eek:


Yeah everything on Brave New World sounded the same to me.

(45th official post of the week out of an attempted 3000)

[Shady Ultima]

Actually I like it, equal to Powerslave about. It was my 2nd Maiden CD, maybe that's why. It's a little heavier than some of their older stuff. With 3 guitars that makes sense, but still the album is very much Maiden's sound.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

What's the new Maiden CD like? I haven't gotten it yet :upset:


(35th official post of the week out of an attempted 3000)

for being this late in a bands career, you couldnt ask for them to put out a better album. People compare it to much to their early 80's albums, but why? When your 22 and when your 48 you wont be writing the same music and i am just happy that they are writing the best metal they can and still get the positive feedback from fans worldover. people need to stop griping so much about every minute detail and just enjoy the album.

[Riva]

Yes I did like Dance of Death a lot. Especially compared to *shudder* Virtual XI.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^^

or even worse, The X Factor. I really think Steve wanted to keep the band going so badly that he kept them alive despite how the group sounded with Blayze, the only point in Maiden history that i really think was a mistake.

[Riva]

Yes, as much as I'd hate to admit it, Steve did slip up a bit there. But, they have recovered, and it is definitely in style.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Exactly, thats what imporant. I cant think of one rock band who didn't take the wrong fork in the road at least once. Harris, as much as i love him, is such a determined and hard headed guy that i dont think he wanted to see this band that he put so much of his life and soul into die, and living in a half-*** version of it was better than pulling the plug. Yet like all hard times in groups careers, they returned with the best come back album i can think of and are stronger than ever. Many bright days await us in the land of Maiden :)

[Riva]

Yes, it will be a place of eternal sunshine for more than a while, I hope.

[eddies_ead]

**** right... Though I do think people seriously under-rate Blaze's material with the band. Sure, it wasnt as good as other stuff but I think things happen for a reason and Blaze's stint in the band showed the rest of them that they sounded best with Bruce, and no-one could really replace him

[toolboy84]

They wrote some good songs when Blaze was in the band, just I feel he wasn't as good a singer as Bruce or Paul. I like the sound of the first 2 albums with Paul singing, it just sounds more raw. Bruce is still my favourite singer Maiden have had.

[LiZZySkYnRd7^]

My take on Maiden. I like Dickinson better than Diano. My favourite album is Piece of Mind and song...Revelations. Concert viewings=2. They also happen to have the best fvcking artwork of any band ever. Musically sound. The whole band.

Tidbit of sad Info: Searched the whole of the UK for a Maiden tee came up with fvck all. :upset:

[Riva]

I have a Number Of The Beast tee-shirt

[LiZZySkYnRd7^]

Did you get it in the UK? See I couldve got one at either of the concerts, but I wanted one from England, for authenticites sake.......or something. :rolleyes:

[icebase]

Did you get it in the UK? See I couldve got one at either of the concerts, but I wanted one from England, for authenticites sake.......or something. :rolleyes:

Lucky bastard. I seriously need to move somewhere where concerts actually occur. :upset:

Do you need to keep reminding us? ;)

I got my Iron Maiden tee-shirt from the shop round the corner...But I got a Maiden Lighter from the Concert :thumb:

[MattyBlade]

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
That was children of bodom, although I'm sure that arch enemy have played it once or twice in their lives :P

[MattyBlade]

Run to the hills! Run for your lives!

[Burning inside]

I have got the Visions of the Beast, Out of the Silent Planet, Live after Death, Wildest Dreams and a Brave New World t-shirt :thumb:, but none of them are signed :upset:

[Lord Abortion]

I have a live after death t-shirt a dance of death tour one
and an aces high hoodie
none signed though :thumb:
dance of death is a fantastic album

the rot set in long before blaze arrived because NPFTD and fear of the dark were poor by maiden standards the whole of the 90's were poor maiden albums by their 80's standard then they did BNW which was brilliant

If Steve wanted to write songs about his own personal suffering he shold do it in a good Dream of mirrors/sign of the cross way not a Judgement of heaven way

[rik]

I have a dance of death t-shirt, a key ring and I got the the Dod album over a month before it came out. Plus I got all that for free.

[Thunder Fingers]

^^^^

or even worse, The X Factor. I really think Steve wanted to keep the band going so badly that he kept them alive despite how the group sounded with Blayze, the only point in Maiden history that i really think was a mistake.

WHAT?! i love The X factor ,one of my favourites, and Virtual XI are a good album... i guess i have an weird thing about liking albums that the average fan of that band dont, i love Metallicas Load and Reload to...

i dont think maiden have ever released an album thats anywhere near the average albums bands put out...

[GurS]

AmIDemon666, would the the number of the beast's neighbour be 664? 667 would be across the road.

"Six six six, the number of the beast. six six four, the bloke next door"

does anyone have that t-shirt?

[Thunder Fingers]

across the road would still be the neighbour..


and... my avatar have! :p

claudio sanchez says iron maiden rox, thats good enuff 4 me

If you search back a few pages, you'll see I posted some pictures of Claudio with his Iron Maiden shirt on, and the bassist for Coheed also shows a lot of influence by Steve Harris (even though he still hasn't gotten the bright idea to do fills).

[jopkins the monkey]

i dont think maiden have ever released an album thats anywhere near the average albums bands put out...

:thumb: true. The X Factor and Virtual XI were bad for a Maiden album, but pretty good for a regular one.

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

Listening to The Clansman.

[Spirit_In_Black]

people say that bruce's voice keeps getting better, but sadly i have to disagree.
compare his voice on DOD and BNW to piece of mind or powerslave, on the newer albums his voice sounds frail and he cant hold a note for as long anymore without making it sound all shaky.
not to say that it isnt good, even on the newer albums hees still one of my favourite vocalists ever, and its understandable that he doesnt sound the same since he's aged 20 somehting years.

[Spirit_In_Black]

on a slightly diferent note, i recently started getting nito iced earth and i would have to ssay that matt barlow isa my favourite vocalist ever!
how many other maiden fans like iced earth and/or matts voice?

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

WHAT?! i love The X factor ,one of my favourites, and Virtual XI are a good album... i guess i have an weird thing about liking albums that the average fan of that band dont, i love Metallicas Load and Reload to...

I have a dance of death t-shirt, a key ring and I got the the Dod album over a month before it came out. Plus I got all that for free.

i got around 15 Maiden shirts, i have over 250 band tee shirts (50 of them being Metallica ones that i dont wear at all anymore really lol) but my favourite is probley my "somewhere in time" shirt or my "brave new world" / "give'em edd till im dead" tour shirts from the two shows ive seen :)

[icebase]

Do you need to keep reminding us? ;)

I got my Iron Maiden tee-shirt from the shop round the corner...But I got a Maiden Lighter from the Concert :thumb:

Yea can't help it i'm just soooo proud. You would be to. You been to any maiden concert's.

[Lord Abortion]

i adore Load and Re-Load, but the X albums i can do without.
there are some outstanding 90's songs though
like
Fear of the dark
bring your daughter to the slaughter
Sign of the cross
lord of the flies
tailgunner
and if you believe the rumour that alot of BNW songs were left over from virtual XI sessions who knows what else?

[icebase]

WHAT?! i love The X factor ,one of my favourites, and Virtual XI are a good album... i guess i have an weird thing about liking albums that the average fan of that band dont, i love Metallicas Load and Reload to...

i dont think maiden have ever released an album thats anywhere near the average albums bands put out...

Man the X factor and Virtual XI are the worst albums that maiden FACT. There the only Maiden album's i can't listen to man. But then i guess we all have different opinion's.

[Lord Abortion]

Man the X factor and Virtual XI are the worst albums that maiden FACT. There the only Maiden album's i can't listen to man. But then i guess we all have different opinion's.
no prayer for the dying fear of the dark And virtual XI are the worst Maiden albums
X-factor is saved by the first two tracks being Fantastic

you may be right but still the rest of the songs aint good.

Do like the song iron maiden?

one of my favourite Maiden tracks behind only
Hallowed...
and dream of mirrors

[icebase]

one of my favourite Maiden tracks behind only
Hallowed...
and dream of mirrors

im sitting in class listening to the live version of hallowed from Rock in Rio. It's sweet. Did you go to a maiden concert on there DOD Tour?

[toolboy84]

on a slightly diferent note, i recently started getting nito iced earth and i would have to ssay that matt barlow isa my favourite vocalist ever!
how many other maiden fans like iced earth and/or matts voice?

I've only heard one iced earth song, and it was a cover of Translyvania, so I can't really comment on what the guy sounds like.

[Lord Abortion]

im sitting in class listening to the live version of hallowed from Rock in Rio. It's sweet. Did you go to a maiden concert on there DOD Tour?
yep in Newcastle they were ****ing fantastic

[icebase]

yep in Newcastle they were ****ing fantastic

So you live in england. I went to see them in dublin and i live near armagh. It was only about a four hour train ride and me and two friends just skated up and down the train until one of the train workers confronted us and said if we didn calm down he would chuck us off the train(again). It was cool there. It was so different from the belfast muse concert so much more atmosphere at the maiden concert.

[toolboy84]

yep in Newcastle they were ****ing fantastic

I saw them in Newcastle also last year. They were pretty damn good. Also saw them at Donington on the Give me Ed tour, that was amazing also

[Lord Abortion]

what do you think is the best bruce intro to a song?
by this I mean the little things he says before a song

mine is from last year (with spotlight)
"Light goes on, light goes off, just like that, fear of the dark"

[ashman]

Yea can't help it i'm just soooo proud. You would be to. You been to any maiden concert's.


I saw them at Sheffield, on my best friends birthday, so when I got back from it, I could so drunk, I couldn't remember much...

[LiZZySkYnRd7^]

Okay, so we have some UK ppl here........a question to the geordie...Why are there no good radio stations in the UK that actually play metal????? Like the bands that sprang forth from the bosom of the UK.........I heard not a trace of Maiden, Priest, Sabbath, Zeppelin or even Floyd for that matter. It wasnt a one off either, because I've been over loads of times now. No decent metal radio stations. Okay rant over.

PS- Seen Maiden twice now, both times in California.

[ashman]

nope there isn't any good radio stations, I have searched high and low...the closest thing to a decent station is kerrang...and i don't think i can say anything more...

[LiZZySkYnRd7^]

I thought maybe it was the areas in particular I visited at first......but no, I went through England up through Scotland.......even Wales ffs......and nowt. How could this be? From the place that so many of the most talented metal musicians hail from........nary a riff to be heard. Apparently my rant was not over. :upset:

[ashman]

I know...its disgraceful, but there was a time, when I was younger, when all the music was heavy metal, those were the days...when I was like 7...though

[icebase]

I saw them at Sheffield, on my best friends birthday, so when I got back from it, I could so drunk, I couldn't remember much...

man that sucks. like you pay whatever you pay for the tickets to one of your fav bands and then get drunk and then not remember it. that sucks.

[ashman]

It was worth it, I remember I had the time of my life watchinn 'em play, so I got drunk to celebrate, and I now have an excuse to go see 'em again...

[rik]

i got around 15 Maiden shirts, i have over 250 band tee shirts (50 of them being Metallica ones that i dont wear at all anymore really lol) but my favourite is probley my "somewhere in time" shirt or my "brave new world" / "give'em edd till im dead" tour shirts from the two shows ive seen :)

Yer, I have more than one maiden t shirt, I was just writing what I got for free and wasn't out in shops.

[rik]

It was worth it, I remember I had the time of my life watchinn 'em play, so I got drunk to celebrate, and I now have an excuse to go see 'em again...

You don't need any excuse to see them again.

[ed hunter]

**** right there are no good radiosations in england *sob sob* theres kerrang but the less said abotu that the better thats as much metal as we get i just stick to cds

[Spirit_In_Black]

I've only heard one iced earth song, and it was a cover of Translyvania, so I can't really comment on what the guy sounds like.

ok well if you like bruce's voice you'll probably like his, he has about as big a vocal range as bruce, if not bigger.

[Spirit_In_Black]

i got around 15 Maiden shirts, i have over 250 band tee shirts (50 of them being Metallica ones that i dont wear at all anymore really lol) but my favourite is probley my "somewhere in time" shirt or my "brave new world" / "give'em edd till im dead" tour shirts from the two shows ive seen :)

wow i wish i had that many, i got 1 maiden tshirt, its of the wickerman.
the only other band tshirts i got is 2 metallica ones, a slayer one, a led zeppelin one and a guns n roses one, so thats only 6 all up.
theres still all that i ever wear.

[GurS]

doesn't bruce have a radio show on BBC6?

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^

indeed he does, Dave Mustaine (Megadeth \m/) i think is schuduled to be on there as him and Bruce as good friends.

(PS: ill be back sunday, im in Ohio, USA now for a family wedding :( )

[Firecracker]

i haven't heard any of bruce's stuff outside maiden, is it any good?

[RNR]

Ha, I just heard the Rock In Rio version of Fear Of The Dark. Brlliant :)

[GurS]

2001 Fotd > 1993 Fotd

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

Agreed. Same with Hallowed be thy Name. When they do it live its just amazing. Not that I'm saying the normal one isnt good.

[Arucard]

i heard the live one first then heard the studio one and was disapointed
but not that disapointed lol

[Thunder Fingers]

Woha... an Megadeth/Iron Maiden tour would be awsome! :D if they are good friends it should be possible.. :p (BRING BACK DAVE "JUNIOR"!!!! :angry: )

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

And get Marty Friedman back.

[GurS]

i didn't like the trooper the first time i heard the studio version... but i loved the live version, and after that, i started to love the studio version, though the studio does seem kinda empty after listening to it live

[Thunder Fingers]

well, maiden plays much faster when they play it live.... i have always played rime of the ancient mariner after live after death, so when i played it after the album.. it was way to easy... i started doing other stuff while playing it...

[ashman]

doesn't bruce have a radio show on BBC6?


It was cool, my mum listened to it one time....while I was at the Maiden Concert in sheffield...some crazy stuff happening there...

sorry I took so long...
anyway the answer is that alot of people in England are stupid and want ****ty music to listen to
speaking as an Englisman personally the recent music from England sucks
and cradle are the only good band to come out of england in the last 10 years
It's such a shame that nowhere plays good music the radio stations just play what people want and generally England wants ****ing awful music!

[GurS]

i see a few things wrong with that sentence.

A) cradle are sh!te

B) inme, the streets, robbie williams, feeder, stereophonics (they haven;'t been going on for more than ten years, surely), etc.

just coz it's not metal, don't mean that it ain't good.

and, just for extra emphasis


CRADLE SUCK

[Lord Abortion]

just coz it's not metal, don't mean that it ain't good.

I see a few things wrong with THAT sentence
Idiot...
THE STREETS?!!!
Get out...

[GurS]

the streets > you. mike skinner is an extremly talented writer and he is one of the few people that can make rap and garage accessable to the public en masse.

and you like cradle of filth


teh win

[Lord Abortion]

look go away if you want to discuss the streets there are other forums for people like you...
it's late and I'm tired, Cradle Rule
Goodnight Godbless everyone except you...

[ed hunter]

doesn't bruce have a radio show on BBC6?

im sure it was radio two well i know he did one show on radio 2 at least i didnt hear it tho but its a shame i didnt

[GurS]

he did a weekly show on bbc2 called monsters of rock i think, that ran for six weeks.

but he has a constantly weekly show on bb6 i believe.

and cradle really do suck. they try to be black metal... and FAIL

if you want black metal, listen to some real black metal bands (read: Immortal, best black metal band EVAR)

pfff. cradle. black metal for the mallcore genaration

[guitarist532]

Sign Of the Cross , what is your interpretation of that song? Just Curious.

[Permanent Solution]

Corruption of religion I believe...in a nutshell

[Riva]

Yes, it is about how religion was a good ideal, but has been corrupted into something worse.

[PeEpHoLe_10]

Ha, I just heard the Rock In Rio version of Fear Of The Dark. Brlliant :)


Better than the real IMO.

[PeEpHoLe_10]

I bought the visions of the beast dvd the other day and me being a relativley new maiden fan it was a good range of songs, anlthough i did find that i didnt like the other (name?)singer and that most of the songs he sings on arent as good as bruce's time. does anyone else agree.
My fav songs on visons are probably hallowed be thy name,fear of the dark and 2 minutes to midnight. but just about all are great.

[Riva]

Yes, most everyone agrees that Blayze isn't as good as Bruce.

[GurS]

i listened to x factor for the first time two days ago

intial reaction...

how can this exist? i know some people actually say it's a decent album, but i disagree. it's got a very few worthwhile songs in it - judgement in heaven is initially my favourite, but sign of the cross is a HUGE dissappointment after hearing the RIR version, and the other song i had heard good things about - blood on the worlds hands - was a bit on the crap side to tell the truth.

however, i've only listend to this once through - on initial impressions, when i bought fear of the dark and powerslave at the same time, i thought the former was better than the latter. how very wrong i was - the 2nd time listening to those albums and my perspective changed completely. so we'll see how it goes with this 'un

[Thunder Fingers]

Yes, most everyone agrees that Blayze isn't as good as Bruce.

cant we just stop comparing him to Bruce?! THEY DO NOT HAVE THE SAME STYLE OF SINGING!!! :angry:
Maiden have had 3 singers, wich non of them had the same style of singing..

and the X factor is an great album, it just need a little time to get into..

[Lord Abortion]

cant we just stop comparing him to Bruce?! THEY DO NOT HAVE THE SAME STYLE OF SINGING!!! :angry:
Maiden have had 3 singers, wich non of them had the same style of singing..

Too true Blaze and Paul were excellent vocalists too just different interpretations of Maiden
did anyone see maiden on the x-factor or VXI tours?
I'd be interested to know what stuff like Number of the beast and so on were like with Blaze singing...

[Arucard]

i bought every maiden album today
cause i blew all my money woooh
at the minute my faveroutie is killers, but i had that before
and i did a review of it everyone read it wooh

[GurS]

read it. replied. do the same for my review of the sta

true but doesnt mean that brce isnt better. ie if you compare pavaroti to our average pop vocalest you ahve to say pavaroti can sing much much better even though he is a completely diferant stylel jsut because they are differant doesnt mean they cant be compared its the dfferance shich gives scope for compareson. ive heard very little from balze but imo he is the worst maiden vocalest i prefer paul to blaze but ive only herd the best of the beast fear of the dark by blaze

though... Blaze REALY suckes on songs that not was from his period in Maiden..they where just not meant for his kinda voice. exept for "afraid to shoot strangers" that one was pretty good. :thumb: i have never heard him on stuff from pauls period though...

[shortass]

i bought every maiden album today

I've got a bootleg DVD of Iron Maiden from what I think may've been virtual XI's tour but I'm not certain, Its from Argentina. Its so ****ty Blaze's voice can not stay in pitch for more than 3words.

Also Maiden's popularity dropped so much during the Blaze years and Nicko hated him, From what I've heard he used to stand up then point and laugh at Blaze during the Clansman at the intro at shows. I can not stand any of Iron Maidens greats whilst Blaze is singing them on that DVD I just can't watch it. They're in some small indoor arena which I'm sure only hosted afew hundred people.

Also I'm Thingy_guy just with a new acount if anybody remembers me...I doubt anyone will though :lol:

[Jamie FT]

After being a maiden fan for years and seen em live a while ago, I've just shocked myself by realise i have no 'proper studio album' apart from dance of death, basically I have quite a few best of's and rock in rio, and i need to get a studio album, which one should I get?

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

Powerslave-Number of the Beast-Somewhere In Time-Piece of Mind. One of those, I cant decide.

[Riva]

cant we just stop comparing him to Bruce?! THEY DO NOT HAVE THE SAME STYLE OF SINGING!!! :angry:

I never said that they were worse or better singers. I was just stating that Bruce melds together with the band much better than Blayze.

[ed hunter]

errrrh.. blaze didnt sing on fear of the dark... unless you mean live...

the version of fear of the dark is live on best of the beast.

[GurS]

isn't that the 93 version? I'm pretty **** sure it is

[JACK!]

Powerslave-Number of the Beast-Somewhere In Time-Piece of Mind. One of those, I cant decide.

Brave New World surley deserves a say in that. In my opinion it's some of their best material and saw the return of 2 members of the band.

[Jamie FT]

Powerslave-Number of the Beast-Somewhere In Time-Piece of Mind. One of those, I cant decide.

thanks, ill probably get powerslave because it has aces high on it - my favourite maiden song! :D

[Spirit_In_Black]

Brave New World surley deserves a say in that. In my opinion it's some of their best material and saw the return of 2 members of the band.

IMO it deosnt compare to powerslave piece of mind somewhee in time or number of the best.
still a great album though - YOUR TIME WILL COOOMMEEE!!!!

[Riva]

It's the best of their newer albums. I prefer it to Dance of Death.

[icebase]

It's the best of their newer albums. I prefer it to Dance of Death.

Wha DOD is like a reveloution for maiden man it's prob the best album of the last ten years for them.

[Lord Abortion]

both are brilliant albums
Dream of Mirrors vs. Paschendale? oooohhhhh....

[eddies_ead]

erm... tough choice... Paschendale only because it is amazin live!!!

[Thunder Fingers]

dream of mirrors are a little to easy, so paschendale goes past it there... awsome song!

[Lord Abortion]

I would go for the dream But Paschendale is brilliant too especially live

I prefer BNW because of the ghost of the navigator and the Wicker man
but if you replaced The fallen angel with Paschendale and the thin line... with DOD you could potentially have the best Maiden album ever

[icebase]

The best maiden album would be

1.Aces High
2.2 Minutes to midnight
3.Paschendale
4.The wickerman
5.Hallowed Be thy name
6.Dance Of Death
7.The Thin Line Between Love And Hate
8.Rainmaker
9.Fear Of The Dark (Live Rock In Rio)
10.Number Of The Beast
11.Run To The Hill's
12.The Trooper
13.New Frontier

Cant think of any more. What do all you guys think?

[Jamie FT]

good list, like a said on my last post here aces high is my fav too!

[icebase]

good list, like a said on my last post here aces high is my fav too!

Right you make one to. I just want to know other peoples opinions of what the best maiden songs are.

[The Mercenary]

i dont agree with that list, not for a greatest, no somewhere in time/seventh son/killers/iron maiden?!? and 4 tracks from DoD? not sure, but a good list anyway

but i guess til they invent CD's that can take over 80 minutes of music i couldnt decide on tracks for a maiden greatest album

[icebase]

you can but you would need some sort of portable dvd device. I use DVD's to store everything. Like windows xp or half of the stuff on my hard drive. Ha they are cool. Has anyone been to france. Im going on thursday. I HATE FRENCH PEOPLE HELP???? but its halloween so im going to have fun :smash:

[GurS]

best maiden album IMHO would be:

1. Moonchild (best opening for an album)
2. Killers (Live, Maiden England)
3. Total Eclipse
4. Paschendale
5. Running Free (Live At Donnington)
6. Still Life
7. Flight Of Icarus
8. Fear Of The Dark (Live Rock In Rio)
9. Number Of The Beast
10. The Wickerman
11. Montsegur
12. The Clansman (Live Rock In Rio)
13. Powerslave (Live After Death version)
14. Hallowed Be Thy Name
15. Out of the Silent Planet
16. Strange World
17. Iron Maiden (Live Rock In Rio)

How's THAT for an ideal compilation

[ashman]

both are brilliant albums
Dream of Mirrors vs. Paschendale? oooohhhhh....

Paschendale pwns Dream of Mirrors. IMHO I think Dream of Mirrors was one of the worst songs on that album. Dream of Mirrors and Paschendale are in two different leagues...


Gur, where's infinite dreams???

[Glass Onion]

Their is 1 big error on both of those lists...NO PHANTOM OF THE OPERA ON EITHER OF THEM!!! That song is Maiden at perfection I wish their where more songs which could be as fun to play on bass and guitar and still have a great feal that never dies.

[YDload]

Yeah, Phantom of the Opera is practically mandatory. And Hallowed Be Thy Name has to be the last song; why else would Maiden themselves keep it at the end when they added "Total Eclipse" to the NOTB remastered version?

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

My Top 15

1.Children of the ****ed
2.The Lonliness of the Long Distance Runner
3.Hallowed Be thy Name
4.Powerslave
5.Aces High
6.Dance of Death
7.Wasting Love
8.Infinite Dreams
9.Prowler
10.Murders In the Rue Morgue
11.Pachendale
12.Brave New World
13.Still Life
14.To Tame a Land
15.Caught Somewhere in Time

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

Oh crap I forgot Childhoods End.

[ed hunter]

how you guys can write a list i dont know id be writing at least a 30 track list at the minimum id need to have atleast half of each album i have

[Shaneth_Bass]

Maiden rule! Most of the stuff im learning to play on my bass is maiden, Number of the beast, aces high, afraid to shoot strangers, not very good yet but getting better, Steve Harris rules

[Riva]

Yeah, I would not be able to put up a favourites list at all...

[Shady Ultima]

(These are the songs off the 5 albums I own)
1. Aces High
2. Phantom of The Opera
3. The Prisoner
4. The Number of the Beast
5. The Trooper
6. Two Minutes to Midnight
7. Flight of Icarus
8. Rime of the Ancient Mariner
9. Hallowed be Thy Name
10. Iron Maiden
11. Wicker Man (I don't own this CD)
12. Sanctuary
13. Age of Innocence
14. Powerslave
15. No More Lies

Can anyone guess which CD's I own? And I know Gurs is gonna hate me for saying this, but IMO Clive Burr is a better drummer than Nicko McBrian, and Adrian is their best 2nd guitarist ever. IMO the best lineup is best on NOTB, with Bruce, and Clive, and Adrian. Who's in your favourite lineup?

[Riva]

Powerslave, Number Of The Beast, Iron Maiden, Piece Of Mind, Dance Of Death.

Same as me, except add Rock In Rio and Brave New World :thumb:

Anyways, can anyone tell me what Wicker Man is about? Because I saw a movie at my video store with the same name, and I was wondering if they are related at all.

[icebase]

how you guys can write a list i dont know id be writing at least a 30 track list at the minimum id need to have atleast half of each album i have

dude if i had relly thought about it and i didnt really i would have at least sixty and theres the problem. Do you know of any cd that can hold sixty songs. I know of three a dvd or an mp3 or a minidisk. It like all needs to fit on one album.

And by the way whoever said phantom of the opera is good im sick of it. wouldnt go im my top 100 maiden songs.

[icebase]

(These are the songs off the 5 albums I own)
1. Aces High
2. Phantom of The Opera
3. The Prisoner
4. The Number of the Beast
5. The Trooper
6. Two Minutes to Midnight

8. Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Hell no man
nicko is like so much better. clive was good i have to admit. but nickos better.

[ashman]

Nicko owns all drummers in the universe EVER...Need I say anymore?

[GurS]

no. *look at my screen name*

and i was toying with the idea of having phantom in the opera on my ideal cd... but in truth, you're gonna have to leave some songs out. and, well, i think only took a maxium of 3 songs from each cd (less in most cases), and the three i chose from the STA were, i feel, more necessary than phantom. but it's still a wicked mad song

[Shady Ultima]

I knew that you would disagree Gurs! I'm not a drummer, and I just was listening to the ST and NOTB and I enjoyed the drums more. I still think Dave Lombardo of Slayer is better. You can't say I can't have my opinion though. Anyways, what is the picture that is made when all the CD's are put together? It looks like thefront cover of the ST, is that what it is?

[acefrehleyjendell]

ok i have an inqiry,, um on the trooper is dave playing a fender, coz i dont see any strats with hums and flloyd rose unless it was another brand or custom made, i could be wrong, just wondering,

UP THE IRONS \M/ :evil:

[acefrehleyjendell]

The most consistent lineup would definately be with bruce,steve,dave,adrian,nicko but IMO the best would be the current (just listen to brave new world or dance of death) but there best album is probly peice of mind or powerslave .......ACE :thumb:

[Lord Abortion]

will post my ideal songs later because I havent got my list I made here with me (I'm at school)

[ashman]

3 Dates for next years tour have been announced...they are:

Parc Des Princes Stadium, Paris on June 25th
Hartwall Arena, Helsinki on July 6th
Ullevi Stadium, Gothenburg on July 9th

None of them anywhere near me :(

IRON MAIDEN: Eddie Rips Up The World - Oct. 20, 2004

According to a posting at the IRON MAIDEN fan site MaidenFans.com, IRON MAIDEN's upcoming tour will likely be called "Eddie Rips Up The World Tour", based on the various posters appearing for the already-announced dates. The trek will apparently comprise between 20 and 25 shows. It is unknown if this number represents the scope of the entire tour or only its European leg.

Nothing is known about the opening date of the tour and the continents that will be visited. However, MAIDEN vocalist Bruce Dickinson has told the Swedish newspaper Goteborg Posten that the last show in Europe will be the Gothenburg gig at Ullevi on July 9 (this is still in line with flying rumors that MAIDEN might make an appearance on Ozzfest 2005 in the USA).

OMG I WOULD GO CRAZY if they did Ozzfest, as i get front row every year!!!!

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

I knew that you would disagree Gurs! I'm not a drummer, and I just was listening to the ST and NOTB and I enjoyed the drums more. I still think Dave Lombardo of Slayer is better. You can't say I can't have my opinion though. Anyways, what is the picture that is made when all the CD's are put together? It looks like thefront cover of the ST, is that what it is?

Dave Lambardo wether in Slayer, Grip Inc, or Fantomas has one style of drumming. He never changes up what he does in a song and i never felt did anyhting more than be a basic metal timekeeper, Bostoph was a much more well rounded drummer than Dave and Nicko's stlye is alot more important to Maiden than Lambardo's is to Slayer.

Is it me, or is this thread starting to die?

Hell no man
nicko is like so much better. clive was good i have to admit. but nickos better.

Clive and Nicko are two different animals. When Clive was in the band the music was more agressive and raw sounding and his power drumming style fit that like a glove. When the band evolved with Bruce in the lineup their style of writing changed and they begane to write more epic music that required less agressive drumming and more structured playing which is where Nicko steps in, he's diverse from album to album (listne to each one, he follows a pattern on each album). Both are essiential to the Maiden sound, but i dont think Clive would have sounded as well blended with how Maiden turned out as he did in their early days.

However, MAIDEN vocalist Bruce Dickinson has told the Swedish newspaper Goteborg Posten that the last show in Europe will be the Gothenburg gig at Ullevi on July 9 year!!!!

WHAT?! their not coming to Norway?! they play two shows once, and then they think that we are feed up with them?! :angry: i hope it doesnt take them as long time as last...

Traveling in America is sooooooooooo cheap. 16 hour drive? wow, i didnt think it was that far! can't you take a Euro-rail there or something? and i thought Geddy was your bass god #2! lol.

i want to know where in England they are playing because they will be playing Download but I want to see them twice on one tour
hope they come to newcastle Janick would make them wouldn't he?

[YDload]

They will never play MY ultimate setlist because they can't agree on how to play "Flight of Icarus" anymore. Also, they would have to play several Loverboy covers.

I think Frails list is by far the best...if they did do out of the silent planet live...that would be bloody sweet

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

hehe thank ya thank ya :) i wanted to hit a decent number of albums (they just have so many!) and i could care less how many times they've played the number of the beast and run to the hills...they are just to **** special to watch live to miss!! yes i would love to hear out of the silent planet live, funny how it was a single from brave new world but wasn't included in the setlist for the tour.

PS: if you ask me they could have cut out "dream of mirrors" and put in "out of the silent planet" or "the fallen angel".

[Riva]

I'd prefer to hear "out of the silent planet" more than "the fallen angel".
