Iron Maiden

[Thunder Fingers]

Ifthey had Cut Dream of mirrors, they could play both OOTSP and TFA....

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^

or that lol.

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

i think thats a toss up for me really. The Fallen Angel has one of my favourite chorus' out of all Maiden's tunes and Adrian's lead at the end is fantastic, while i love the melody of Out of the Silent plant very much and Nicko gallops like a stallion hehe. Overall, either one id be satisfied....Dream of Mirrors (aside from The Thin Line Between Love and Hate) is my least favourite song on the album.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

ok heres one for us all....

If Iron Maiden performed with a symphony (like metallica, kiss, scorpions etc...) what songs would fit best with that mixture. my first vote goes to "blood brothers".

[Riva]

Rime Of The Ancient Mariner. Can you imagine the atmosphere the orchestra could provide? :thumb:

[Kurtz]

Brave New World [song] would be pretty sweet with symphony. So would GOTN.

[YDload]

Hallowed Be Thy Name. It's already one of Maiden's best songs ever, and orchestras would probably get lost in the galloping rhythms of most of their other songs (not much fast percussion in a symphony).

[Lateralias]

Hallowed Be Thy Name. It's already one of Maiden's best songs ever, and orchestras would probably get lost in the galloping rhythms of most of their other songs (not much fast percussion in a symphony).

Oh gosh, that either sound extremely great, or horrible as in the way CoF butchered the song. A other good one would be Revelations... its a slower tempo Maiden song so I could see that sounding beautiful with an orchestra.

[-->>SoAdSlIpKnOtGoD<<--]

Anyone knows the exact date when The Early Days DVD comes out?

[UntoldProphecy]

Not exactly, but Im pretty sure its bloody soon

[PeEpHoLe_10]

I know this might be an amateur question, but im new to maiden. When did they last come to Australia?

[Burning inside]

I know this might be an amateur question, but im new to maiden. When did they last come to Australia?

Welcome to the club...

Methinks Early days comes out on the 8th nov...I'll check it out :thumb:

[Spirit_In_Black]

if maiden played with a symphony, well a few tracks on DOD like paschendale and face in the sand already sound orchestral, and so does blood brothers.
id like to hear hallowed be thy name with a symphony though.

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

Ya that would be pretty sweet.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

:lol: i Just got an acustic Guitar, wich maiden song should i learn first :p (it dont have to be on acustic guitar.. hmm.. hallowed and aces....

ok ok ok, learn the outro to "the prophecy" KILLER acousitc work from Davey and H!!

[^METAL^MANIAC^666^]

I tried to learn into to wickerman but it never seems to come out right. I can't tell if its my crap skill or a dogy tab(anyone know the correct tab give me the link)

[^METAL^MANIAC^666^]

dodgey not dogy

[brookh6969]

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

[brookh6969]

Check out Cradle Of Filth's orchestral cover of Hallowed. Its pretty cool

[ashman]

^Wash your mouth out with holy water and never disgrace Maiden again... :angry:

The intro is very weird, I couldn't master it 'til I watched RIR...

[shadow_stalker]

Check out Cradle Of Filth's orchestral cover of Hallowed. Its pretty cool

when did they do that?

[Thunder Fingers]

what about rememebr tomorow

[ashman]

errh...? weird? i think its one of maidens easiest songs..

It is easy, it's just getting the timing right...that's my problem with it, the way that H plays it changes slightly...especially when he plays live.

[Angmar00]

I would like to hear Alexander the Great with an Orchestra...

[Thunder Fingers]

Frail: Blood Brothers with orchestra would make me cry.. serriously, it would have given so much more feeling to the song... and the song already have more feeling than whats normal:P

[ashman]

I'm sure theres an orchestral version somewhere...I think it was on some single...

Which albums have you got?

[Burning inside]

Anyone else here going to get the Early Days DVD which is out on Maonday 1st, cause i know i am.

I have seen bits of their early shows and they have looked pretty cool. It will be interesting to hear what Di'Anno is like live.

Buy the way, has anyone got the original Women in Uniform single?

[HondoII]

The ed hunter game sucks :P

and I have the WiU single vinyl. I don't like that song :P

[IAJP]

I've only got a Maiden greatest hits,
but I love it.

[ashman]

It's out on the 8th btw (Well in the UK)

DVD is to be released on Monday 8th November on EMI appropriately almost exactly 25 years to the day since the band first signed to the British label.

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

I hope they are touring soon.

[Vindicator]

Iron Maiden are the best metal band of all time, and hence the best band of all time. I have almost all their songs either on dl or cd..god i love them. The only metals bands to even come close are Judas Priest or 3 Inches of Blood. The only thing that makes me mad is that they never play anywhere near me. The closest show is in LA which is a 15 hour drive. Guess ill just have to keep watching my DVDs.

[Riva]

I seriously hope they come to Aus. I'm gonna get those tickets, and be at the concert with bells on.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^^

im so glad i live in the middle of the states lol, every band tours to St.Louis lol.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

heres a new topic (glad u all liked my Orchestra one!!)

What guitar player would fit in well with Iron Maiden (aside from H, Davey, n Janick)...it can be a metal player, virtuiso, rock player...anyone.

ALSO...what guitar player would sound good playing a solo in a particular Maiden song. example...i think Alexi Laiho from COB could put a wonderful lead in "the wickerman" (even though it is one of Adrian's finest leads!) id still like to hear what he could do with it.

[YDload]

Marty Friedman in "Hallowed Be Thy Name." Very few guitar gods could improve on that song, but I think Friedman would be the best man for the job.

Randy Rhoades(R.I.P.), or Satch.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Id like to hear Joe as well with Iron Maiden, espically in a more guitar oriented track like "the lonliness of the long distance runner".

[twinkles]

holy **** 112 pages :|
srry bout spamming, i dont really have anything to say about maiden

[HondoII]

As for guitarist...let me go back 20 years in time, and have all that time to practice and then I would be the best guitarist for the job today :D

But oh how I would love to see Randy Rhoads up there :)

Yay, I got my Maiden Rarities 81' dvd in my trade today. Oh how Paul has let himself go over the years :p

[ashman]

I would like to see Hendrix with Maiden...that would be so "interesting" lol. Or maybe Eric Clapton...Because they play quite differently, it would be interesting to say the least.

[Thunder Fingers]

To far back.. first page stuff... :(

Who i would see playing for Iron Maiden... Timo tolki would sure be funny! :lol: if steve came running by him he would fall...

or Dave Mustaine! Think about him and steve in unison singing behind Bruce on Run to the Hills! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Andre Olbrich from Blind Guardian would sound perfect for a song like "caught somewhere in time"...anything fast paced.

[Thunder Fingers]

wow... Sum 41 opening for iron maiden.. scary stuff.. i am now convinced that Steve and the band hae nothing to do with who opens for them... like last year steve was asked to comment on their opening acts... "errrrh..."

[-=The_Dude=-]

i finally got some extra $$$ to buy a Maiden CD. I bought Number of the Beast and i absolutely love it. I just ordered Powerslave off Amazon.com

[DBoons Ghost]

I always thought Piece of Mind was their best. It's the one I listen to most. Still.

LOL, he better not do, listening to funeral for a friend wasn't the most pleaseant moment in my life, but hey, it was Maiden it was worth it... :thumb:


Still Hate FFAF tho... :upset:

[Thunder Fingers]

i think the management takes the most popular bands who are maiden fans, and dont care wich music style they play.. next tour probaly gonna have that hip hop/soul woman who sampled "The clansman"... :(

[janickgersrocks]

i really need help here i'm getting a new guitar next week and I still don't know which one!I like playing.....
metallica, megadeth
iron maiden, in flames
testament, black sabbath
hendrix, Pantera
motorhead, iced earth

summer 2005

[ashman]

Ok, I have a topic for discussion...if one of the band members dropped down dead (I hope that doesn't happen) and you played the instrument they did (or sing in bruces case), what songs would you play?

I would probably play infinite dreams, or even SOTC, or CSIT on Bass or guitar.

[GurS]

Out of the silent planet all the way. I couldn't do it nicko style though, I'd use a double kick pedal :eek:

[YDload]

Since I play the bass, the correct answer would be... kill myself. I could play The Trooper with three fingers, but that is blasphemous to Steve. And even if I could play The Number of the Beast live with thousands of screaming fans, I would never look as cool and confident as Steve does. I would probably pull a groin muscle trying to put a foot up on one of the amps like Steve is prone to doing.

I'd come in for Dave Murray, to play with Adrian Smith would be awesome. Although he'd have to play the solos, but i would back him with some serious rhythm. We'd play a best-of set, along with some great underrated songs like The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner. :thumb:

[Thunder Fingers]

For Steve.... Blood Brothers.. Not his hardest piece, but the feelings in this song is just.. ah, wonderful... i would get an vintage fender P-bass, paint it like his west ham bass, string it with his signature strings, add an badass II bridge and make Seymour Duncan make me an EXACT copy of his pickups.. and i would play it through an Trace Elliot GP12X Pre amp with two Marshall 4x12 cabinets... Steves Death would have been the most expensive thing that ever had happened to me...

[ashman]

... Steves Death would have been the most expensive thing that ever had happened to me...

LOL, let's hope he doesn't die then :thumb:

[Riva]

I'd sing for Bruce, but leave the guitar for the true musicians.

I hope I could do Aces High, Ghost Of The Navigator and Powerslave justice.

[Thunder Fingers]

LOL, let's hope he doesn't die then :thumb:

yes, lets hope that.. :thumb:








LONG LIVE IRON MAIDEN!!! (short live Gibson...)

[ashman]

yes, lets hope that.. :thumb:








LONG LIVE IRON MAIDEN!!! (short live Gibson...)


Doesn't Adrian use Gibsons a lot?

[Lord of Sword]

i think he used nothing but gibsons and ibanezes on the early albums, and a few jacksons. on every photo i've seen of him from Killers he's got a les paul. he uses one on the rock in rio dvd aswell, but he mostly uses custom strats these days

[Thunder Fingers]

Doesn't Adrian use Gibsons a lot?

well, i still hate Jackson for ruining Trace Elliot(wich By The way, is steves Pre amp branch...) but Gibson quited the whole company about an year ago...i hate big company's that buys up everything and destroys their quality...

Anyway, about Steves Main Bass :p people say that he have always used the same P-bass, right? From Live At Rainbow to Rock in rio, well, it cant be... On Live at rainbow you can clearly see the headstock of the bass, well, yeah thats an bass from the 70's, becouse it have the FEnder Logo, and the Name of the bass Splashed out all over the headstock, and well, when you see on the headstock of the blue and the west ham one, you dont see the logo clearly at all(infact, on the wite one i dont think you see it at all...) wich means the blue have to be made either Before 1970, or after 1980... i know many of you dont care. but i just had to say :p

and on the 70's basses the Logo is black, so it would be easy to see :p

[Thunder Fingers]

http://photos.fotango.com/p/eba00399939f00000020.jpg

like this, you can clearly see that this is no 70's P-Bass...

[HondoII]

Dont know if this has been posted but meh.

In a recent interview with Kerrang.com, stand-up comedian Steve Hughes, a metal fanatic whose shows spin around the subject, explained why heavy metal was important to him.

"My friends in Sweden are total IRON MAIDEN fanatics," he stated. "They've got every MAIDEN record that was released in every country. That's dedication. Masterful. So they went to Croatia to see them. While they were on the train, passengers were being robbed by Croatian soldiers. They were sitting there in their MAIDEN shirts and bullet-belts freaking out. Suddenly, the soldiers confronted them armed with machine guns. They noticed their shirts and yelled 'IRON MAIDEN! The greatest band in the world! You are okay!' and left them alone. Heavy metal will save your life. If they were into WESTLIFE, they would have been shot in the face."

page 4... :upset:

Hmm was on page 2...:(

Ok i have a new topic, maybe we should do like a best "Album" or "song" type thing, but we do it in groups, like group A has two songs, and people have to chose the best in that Group...

(I'm just trying to keep the thread alive)

[Thunder Fingers]

^ I didnt quite get that... kinda poll like thing? i dont think i would bother to read through and count up the result...

i want frail to comment on my "steves basses" theory :p

Who likes Phantom Of The Opera? I think it's an ace song, but it seems most people don't like it as much, does anyone out there feel the same as me about it?

[scream_for_me_brazil]

Please say you do, cheer this poor guy up. :upset:

[-Listy-]

Phantom of the Opera is amazing, gonna try n learn it on guitar, which will never happen :lol:

Hehe thanks, I'm trying to learn it as well but it's depressngly hard for someone of such low ability :upset:

its a 'kin lovley song.. i love to play it on my bass (nothing is like playing it aftere the version on Live after death! :D:D:D:D) gives an little energy rush..

[scream_for_me_brazil]

While we aren't on the subject, do they play the intro to Out Of The Silent Planet when they play live? I've never been able 2 get hold of any music where they play the intro, they just skip it and go into the drum bit, is it just me or don't they play the intro? Or am I just, ya know, looking in the wrong places?

[ashman]

I don't actually think they have played Out Of the Silent Planet live...Get the album if you want to hear the intro.

BTW Phantom Best song on the first album, possibly one of the greatest songs to play

[GurS]

Out of the Silent Planet is by far my favourite song from BNW... i don't think they play it live coz Nicko can't repeat the amazing speed of the triplets with one foot he achieved on the album... I imagine doing those triplets night after night for months on end would nigh-on destroy the muscles in your right foot. this is pure speculation, mind you, based on no fact what soever.

[Shady Ultima]

Phantom's good, I like Remember Tomorrow best off the ST though.

[Riva]

I prefer Phantom the best.

They play it live on the Visions of the Beast DVD. It's faster as well.

[Grey Incision]

hmm, i've been requested to play the trooper for another band, and i haven't actually heard the song (only got 4 iron maiden albums) is it difficult? (guitar)

id go with that or Sanctuary (though i prefer a live verison of Sanctuary)

Not really. Are you lead or rhythm? The solo is unique.

The guitar for The troopper is cool. I play bass and sometimes it sucks with iron maiden because he wont go mad like he used to take run to the hills for example. At the end he just played whatever came to him and it was cool.

[ashman]

They play it live on the Visions of the Beast DVD. It's faster as well.
They didn't actually, it's just a "montage" (I like that word) of loads of other recordings on the BNW tour...

[GurS]

yeh. As those who have Rock In Rio know, Out Of The Silent Plant was not on the BNW tour tracklist. so they never played it live.

[Arucard]

i cant wait till they anounce uk tour dates
if they play murders in the rue morgue and revaltions i will love them forever

[Arucard]

there websites running so slow man
they just revamped it so that might be it but it might be the whole 'tour' traffic i bet loads of people are flooding them with requests and stuff

[ashman]

There's currently only like 4 dates so far...where the UK dates?!?!?!?!? I like the new site tho

[Thunder Fingers]

I want Maiden to Play in norway... :(

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

that might be true...


*ihave no idea about what im talkin about....*

Hey! Early years are exelent! i love the part where bruce talks about him and ozzy planing to steal an taxi! :lol:

[Burning inside]

i heard they might do reading aswell

I dont think they will, cause that is not the sort of festival that they play.

Donington is more of a concentration of bands, i.e. there are not to many bands, but there are loads of bands at Reading

I just cant see Maiden playing Reading, but i can see them playing Donington. :thumb:

[ashman]

Early years are awesome, best bit that I have seen is the Ruskin Arms gig, it's so cool...

[icebase]

:( Dudes is it just me or is this thread dying now? :confused:

[ashman]

The bass in "The Trooper" isn't hard at all, provided you use three fingers for the triplets. Otherwise "Phantom of the Opera" or "To Tame A Land" are the hardest for that instrument.

The bass in "The Trooper" isn't hard at all, provided you use three fingers for the triplets. Otherwise "Phantom of the Opera" or "To Tame A Land" are the hardest for that instrument.

You got to play it like the original! 2! and i would say rime is harder than "to tame.."

[YDload]

But then it's hard, and I don't like that!

[Thunder Fingers]

But then it's hard, and I don't like that!

:lol:

[DBoons Ghost]

Phantom is rough, but not impossible. To Tame a Land is very difficult at parts. Rime is easier than most though. Who says Steve used only 2 fingers on the gallops in The Trooper though? Did he really do them with only 2 fingers? How can anyone prove that?

I have trouble with Purgatory more than any other one.

Yea I heard the Trooper cover by them and it sucked! I mean COB is a great band but they just totally ruined one of the greatest maiden songs ever! The vocals was too harsh and the song was too quick. It doesn't have to be quick to sound good!!!

[icebase]

People people dont fight over there singed stuff i have enough to go around. Might sell some on ebay over the next couple of weeks. I'll see what happens. :thumb:

Why do Maiden never play the UK (except for festivils, but I can't afford to go to a festival just for one band) and why do their shows always sell out so **** fast?

Well, for awhile I thought Run to the Hills was horrible, but it's growing on me. So I guess I don't really hate any of their songs.

[Burning inside]

Totally agree with that.

The opening to Rock in Rio is one the best openings to a cd ever IMO :thumb:

[ToRidTheDisease]

I don't like run to the hills much.

[s0ldsoul4roknrol]

Yeah I didn't like it much for awhile either. Then I saw a live dvd of it and respected it more.

how so? its one of the most hailed metal anthems from all walks of metal. Do you not like it becuase *gasps* its a popular well known Maiden song? better not be....

He's probably an elitist.

And the Maiden song I could listen to for the rest of my life is "Rime Of The Ancient Mariner". Although "Aces High" is my favourite song, ROTM is varied enough for me to never get sick of it. :thumb:

[Josh]

o.k if you had to choose one maiden song to listen to for the rest of your life

hallowed be thy name for me
one song would get very boring very quickly - even if you had to chose one album you'd enventually get sick of it, so dont let yourself get into the situation where youve only got 1 song 2 listen 2!!!
oh n btw ollievu ur a felcher

[Josh]

i cant wait till they anounce uk tour dates
if they play murders in the rue morgue and revaltions i will love them forever
ideal setlists for early days tours?
wrathchild, phantom of the opera, run to the hills, number of the beast, hallowed be thy name, revelations, killers, charlotte the harlot, strange world, prowler, iron maiden, invaders, murders in the rue morgue, the trooper, flight of icarus, running free, where eagles dare.
not in any particular order tho...and i sooooo hope they play more than jus festival dates in the UK - otherwise i'll hav 2 go all the way 2 download festival

i think its overrated, there are so many maidens songs that are much better than run to the hills, but all you normally get on compilations cds (and other cds of the nature) is run to the hills

[Josh]

very true, run to the hills just happens to be the song that just about anyone (including people who dont even like metal) has heard

[ashman]

ah what was 'arry thinking?

I love mother russia, probably one of the better songs from NPFD...

I found it quite amusing, i don't know if i find it good.

Yes, probably beside 'Two minutes to midnight', it was the first maiden song I recall hearing. I tend to skip it when it comes up on the CD, I've heard it too much.

To whoever asked about one Maiden song the rest of your life..I'd say 'Aces High' or 'Hallowed be thy name'. I can never choose just one...

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

Probably. I like the avater though.

Help ! Maiden Fans !
--------------------

Adrian is one of my favourite guitarists and I'd really like to copy him. I mean, I tried a lot to sound like him...........not his equipment, his playing style. I know these things used a lot in H's playing:

1. Guitar harmonies
2. Great Tapping parts
3. Bluesy sound
4. Pinch harmonics
5. Brilliant control of tremolo

Maybe you can add other specific "tricks" of Mr.H to help me. I'll be glad if you help me.
And also, what scales does he use in improvising except blues scales??? Anyone???

*confused*

Thanks a lot :)

[GurS]

I know that someone in this thread found on Kazaa an Adrian Smith Guitar Lesson, and that person said that after watching that lesson they found some of H's solo's easier. So I reckon that's probs your best bet.

It's all about Dave, my friend. Dave Murray has to be one of the best guitarists ever. And in Iron Maiden in my opinion.

[GurS]

Dave's definatly the best guitarist outta the three.

But H is just so **** cool :cool:

[btoto]

GurS
------

Thanks for that, I actually have that video. It's nothing special, except a few nice licks from his "psycho motel" stuff. :)

And to me Dave is a bit boring. No offence to anyone. It's just my opinion.

Adrian is my hero :)

[GurS]

Adrian is a lot more exciting to watch on stage, especially before he left the band (he doesn't seem so agile since he put on a ton of weight).

Also, Adrian always played exciting guitars when Davey stuck to the strat. H has gone for the strat now aswell, though apparantly he played a Jackson Flying V on the DOD tour.

One of my mental pictures that defines a guitar hero is picturing H on stage with his Lado Earth on LAD. (Live After Death, not Live At Donnington [though the later is the superior album])

[Riva]

Dave is my favourite by far. Adrian doesn't do as much for me as Dave.

[Thunder Fingers]

HEAVEN CAN WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol: But of course :p


Awsome song, truly amazing piece of music, gives me goosebumps everytime..


my favorite is still rime though :thumb:


*bump*

[s0ldsoul4roknrol]

I don't get how you would find Dave boring, sure he's not as flashy as Janick or Adrian, but hes a much better guitarist. I think Janick and Adrian are equal. Sometimes I wonder how that much talent fits into that one band. Crazy **** :chug:

[MetalNightBodomNight]

Dave isn't as flashy but Jannick is definately the most talented player in maiden his solos on X-Factor are more visionary than Dave's.

[s0ldsoul4roknrol]

Dave isn't as flashy but Jannick is definately the most talented player in maiden his solos on X-Factor are more visionary than Dave's.

What!? I am sorry you guys but Adrian and Janick just simply aren't as good as Dave. Yeah they fvcking rock and are some of the world's best guitarists, but aren't as good as Dave :D

[s0ldsoul4roknrol]

Also Dave's playing is way more clean than Janicks. He scratches the other strings when he solos(Janick) and doesn't mute the other strings as well as Dave either. Adrian is as clean as Dave, just not as good in my opinion.

[Dig up her bones]

That's a sweet tat... and a very nice axe. KV1 or 2?


And Ash, I'm all for that - how about "The Maiden Authority"? since we seem to know just about all there is to do with maiden, and every time someone has a questions, it's pretty much always one of us four that answer it, normally in much further detail than the person wants.

[CamelCaps]

Haha, i have finally found the Iron Maiden thread

Maiden are possibly my favourite band ever, and the first metal album i ever bought was NPFD.

They are totally great, and even after so many years of listening to them, they still sound fresh as ever.

In reference to earlier arguments about the best guitarist... for me, its got to be Davey for pure talent, but as a stage presence, Adrain and Jannick do more for me, and Bruce as a a frontman is totally amazing. I think Davey is a shy quiet person, which is possibly why he isnt such a big stage presence.

Favourite Maiden song......

too many to chose from, but right now, in would have to say Heaven Can Wait...

Favourite album.....

even harder, but probably Piece of Mind

happy posting fellow maiden fans
