Iron Maiden

[Thunder Fingers]

Steve can play guitar and sing... gets rid of the Bass/Guitar/vocals divide.. :lol: :lol:

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

Adrian played drums in Rock in Rio dvd.

[GurS]

where?

[ashman]

It's in the "A day in the life" thing. It's only about 2 seconds of him playing, but you do indeed see H playing.

You see, there are no divides in Maiden, they can all play all the instruments and so are one man Bands...

[Thunder Fingers]

oh yeah.. steve plays drums to... What dont that Guy do?!

[Arucard]

hey, you guys voted the trooper in the polls yet

[Magnum357]

Stranger in a strange land..... land of ice and snow....

[Thunder Fingers]

butofcourse! nothing comes beetwen me and Maiden :p

He can't use a pick. That's because he sucks.

better bass players use fingers. you idiot...

I'm pretty sure he was joking.

[GurS]

A) ever heard of sarcasm?

B) don't be a C**t in this thread. or else you'll have the authority to deal with.

Play nice, boys :)

[YDload]

It was too subtle.

[Riva]

It was too subtle.


Some of Maiden's fans aren't as intelligent as Maiden themselves, my boy. :p

So, what does everyone think of as the best theme Maiden has covered. By theme I mean a particular place, time period, etc.

I was thinking that Powerslave and Rime Of The Ancient Mariner are really cool Egyptian style songs. They even have a real Egyptian feel to the music. What do you think?

[GurS]

They do war **** well - The Trooper, Aces High, Paschendale...

[Lord Abortion]

human desperation
hallowed be thy name, afraid to shoot strangers, etc.
and
the supernatrual- still life, twilight zone, the number...
apart from war are my fave maiden themes

[Riva]

Well, I really love Aces High and The Trooper, simply because they give me chills down the back of my neck when I picture the lyrics in my head.

And when it comes to supernatural themes, you can't beat The Apparition. :)

[ashman]

I think the war theme is the best. I love songs like Aces High, The Trooper, Paschendale, The Edge of Darkness .etc

[Thunder Fingers]

He can't use a pick. That's because he sucks.

if he can play guitar, i think he can use an pick to :p he just said that he never have used one on bass...

[Thunder Fingers]

i would say war.. the trooper, aces high, tailgunner, paschendale, all exelent songs!

[ashman]

He can't use a pick. That's because he sucks.

Them's be fighting words :evil: :naughty:

huhu.. heh.. yeah... :confused: :upset:

[Arucard]

well we all know that the best maiden song ever is murder in the rue morgue or revelations

[btoto]

NO ! Best Maiden song ever is Aces High !

[ashman]

Nope, it has been decided that the best Maiden song ever is all of them*

cum on maiden announce nxt summers tour dates!!!

"i'm coming back, i will return. and i'll posess your bodies and i'll make rio fvcking burn"

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

I was just watching it. Thats a great dvd.

[Josh]

i got the album ages ago. seen the dvd once, borrowed it off a mate. didnt watch any extra features tho.

[ashman]

I only have a really grainy video of RiR. It is Legal though, just a **** version.

[GurS]

the apparition does indeed well and truly suck.

Oh, and Afraid to Shoot Strangers is a 'war' themed song - Gulf War I (not the sequel).

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

Afraid to Shoot Strangers is a cool song.

[Thunder Fingers]

Ok, one thing that start to any me about the IM BB is that.. they blame Steve for 'kin everything! That the albums have bad production, that maiden isnt playing there and here... probaly gonna blame him for the war in iraq soon... :angry:

[YDload]

the guy is kidding.. i know he have said many times that he cant play maiden songs with 2 fingers :p (ydload, not steve..)

I can play everything except The Trooper with two fingers, and I'm working on that one! Phantom of the Opera is where I decided to start using two because the triplet pattern of three fingers doesn't work for the even-numbered notes of the blazing intro (once the drums come in).

[Riva]

the apparition does indeed well and truly suck.

But... I like the Apparition. :(

[MetalNightBodomNight]

people shouldn't use subtle sarcasm it text, it's way to hard to tell. we need something like voice inflextion to undertand sarcasm.

[YDload]

I like that suggestion.

Everyone else seemed to get YDLoad's sarcasm.

And why does no-one else like "The Apparation?". Though I was taking the piss a bit by saying it was the best supernatural song. :p

[Cliff 'em All]

i heard a little maiden the other day and they sound very queensryche-ee.

[Riva]

Actually, the correct way to state that is that Queensryche sounds like them.

[ashman]

Actually, the correct way to state that is that Queensryche sounds like them.

Mr. Riva Speakeths the Truth...

[Lord Abortion]

ok afraid to shoot strangers IS a war song but there is two sides to it
like bruce said on real dead one "this song is about a guy who doesn't want to kill ANYBODY"
so that's where the human desperation thing comes in...

[ashman]

Yeh, hence the name "Afraid to shoot strangers". Nearly all of the war songs by Maiden have a desperation type theme: The Trooper "As I lay forgotten and alone, without a tear I draw my parting Groan". The Aftermath "I'm left alone asking why". Blood on the Worlds hand "There's chaos across the border, and one day it could be happening to us". Paschendale "On his dying word he prays, tell the world of Paschendale". And there are more...

yup
plus blood on the world's hands is a great song
I had to compare a play in drama lesson to another thing (film, song,etc.)
i chose that and got an A
true story...

[ashman]

Cool, it's nice to see Maiden helping people in their education. We never got anything like that when I was at school, we had to do what the teachers wanted us to do, which was so **** ing boring...

[Riva]

Yes, I chose 2 Minutes To Midnight to analyse for this stupid poetry analysis. Got an A as well. I related it to everything from government conspiracies to nuclear winter.

[Lord Abortion]

you can relate maiden to everything because they cover so many different subjects
alot of my knowlege of history comes from maiden
...well maiden and blackadder episodes

Still life, Blood on the worlds hands, Childhoods end, No prayer for the dying and Killers(i dont hear it mentioned that often...)

[Lord Abortion]

killers rules
i've done it again!!

[GurS]

total eclipse is FAR too underated

killers and drifter are for too under-rated from that album. I personally like gangland (shock!). for me, to tame a land is overrated. Flash of the Blade is under rated, only the good die young and the clairvoyant is underrated, hooks in you, judas be my guide, the fugitive, judgement of heaven, out of the silent planet, the thin line between love and hate, face in the sand, electric journey man.

the more observent of you will have noticed that was in album order

[darkmetallica]

do they do ANY ENGLISH tours

[JACKROXYOU]

Powerslave is an awsome album. I lost it for years then found it. It was one of my happiest days

[ashman]

Underrated eh? I think the songs that Gur said, and others like The sea of Madness, the Prophecy, Public Enema Number One, Run Silent Run Deep, Chains Of Misery, Look For the Truth, Como Estais Amigos, The Nomad. Those are all I can think of.

do they do ANY ENGLISH tours

What do you mean?!?!?!

[Arucard]

do they do ANY ENGLISH tours

no, they have never toured england, its not like they live hear or anything

and underated songs i think are revelations, murder in the rue morgue and killers. (basically anything of the first two albums except 'iron maiden' and 'wrathchild.'

[ashman]

no, they have never toured england, its not like they live hear or anything...

That does explain alot... :amaze:

[GurS]

sanctuary they play quite a bit, too.

and i really don't like chains of misery

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

Murders in the Rue Morgue, Purgatory

[GurS]

purgatory's good.

drifter or the title track though is the best on that album

[Josh]

do they do ANY ENGLISH tours
someone obviously knows bugger all about maiden

[Josh]

purgatory's good.

drifter or the title track though is the best on that album

im listenin 2 killers now...havnt really listened 2 it much, spose i shd listen 2 it more as theyll be playin songs off it when they play UK nxt summer...need 2 listen 2 more piece of mind as well

[Lord Abortion]

im listenin 2 killers now...havnt really listened 2 it much, spose i shd listen 2 it more as theyll be playin songs off it when they play UK nxt summer...need 2 listen 2 more piece of mind as well

(getting new piece of mind t-shirt with revelations exerpt on it)

[GurS]

safe

[ashman]

purgatory's good.

drifter or the title track though is the best on that album

I think Ides of March is underrated, it's probably the 2nd best intrumental after Losfer Words (Big 'Orra)

***listens to both songs **
yeah I just noticed that wierd
also the opening to dance of death is very like face in the sand
does anyone know... is age of innocence about the farmer tony martin?

(quick expl. U.K farmer who was sent to prison for shooting two burglars, one of whom died, very well publicised english court case whilst dod was being written,)
lines like:
"you can't even protect yourselves ... even in your own home"
made me think of that...

[ashman]

Maybe they were just singing along as a joke, and didn't really mean it, since there are a lot of jewish people in the US.

It's a great riff, so I'm not complaining :)

The Age of Innocence is about the current situation in the country, Steve said his main inspiration for that song comes from being a father, and worrying about the crime .etc, and how it's not safe to be young anymore.

[Josh]

state of the country isnt exactly great. living there could be a lot better. like if there was a decent government. **** anti-hunt mps

[GurS]

the Age of Innocence is also a book.

There's another theme Maiden do really well... books. Or, stories/poems etc.

Brave New World, Out Of The Silent Planet, Rime Of The Ancient Marinner, To Tame A Land, Flight of Icarus, Number Of The Beast, the whole 7th son album (based on a legend), the list goes on and on. I think the Wicker man was also originally a book, and you could losely put Phantom in here too.

The Wicker Man was originally a movie, and one of the lines from the song, "Piper At The Gates Of Dawn", is a chapter from "The Wind In The Willows", as well as a Pink Floyd album.

[ashman]

the Age of Innocence is also a book....

So is the loneliness of the long distance runner. I only recently found this out, when some one was talking about the book, and I thought he was talking about the song...

[GurS]

so, books are a pretty good source of maideny songs

[Riva]

So, it seems. Maybe on the uni break I'll get some of these books out and read 'em.


Can someone please tell me what Back In The Village means?

[Lord Abortion]

yeah dune is a great book
out of the silent planet is interesting too
it's by Lewis caroll (the lion, the witch and the wardrobe authour)

[Lord Abortion]

So, it seems. Maybe on the uni break I'll get some of these books out and read 'em.

It's about bombings isn't it...??

[ashman]

Does anybody know the inspiration of Revealations? The last bit says: "For the one who will be king, The watcher and the ring, it is you..." Could be Lord of The Rings, But I'm probably so wrong, it's immoral :(

[Lord Abortion]

Does anybody know the inspiration of Revealations? The last bit says: "For the one who will be king, The watcher and the ring, it is you..." Could be Lord of The Rings, But I'm probably so wrong, it's immoral :(
the first bit is an english hymnal
but other than that... i dunno

one of maiden's best tho'...

[Led Guitar]

It's very similar to the Intro to Wasted Years...
Yea, I know, what is the difference anyway? There is open 0's in Wasted Years? Plus I like that background going in Losfer Words.

[Riva]

I'm pretty sure it is about the plight of the Egyptians, in that their Pharoah's are convinced that they are gods, and as such are far too impressed with themselves. This has led to the land being ruined, because all the Pharoah's do is raise monuments of themselves. The hymnal also refers to this.

Then the first verse is about the current Pharoah, and how he realises his foolish ways after the gods punish him; in a dream, perhaps? "Just a babe in the black abyss, /No reason for a place like this...

So he agrees to conceive his new child with a spirit in order to ensure the child is a benevolent, modest ruler. (2nd verse)

And the third verse refers to him wishing the child good luck, as he must re-unite Egypt, and bring an end to all the pain and suffering caused by the greedy pharoah's.

Don't know what the chorus means though.

This is based loosely on an ancient pharoah, but I can't remember which one it was.

[ashman]

Yea, I know, what is the difference anyway? There is open 0's in Wasted Years? Plus I like that background going in Losfer Words.

The riff in Losfer word is like has less open then Wasted years. The only other difference is the speed. Apart from that, they are identical. The intro is also very similar, except for the tapping on the 12th fret. I think those riffs were written by Adrian.

Nice job Riva :thumb: Cheers for clearing that up.

[GurS]

Back in the Village is a sequel to The Prisoner.

'the village' is the village where patrick mcgoohan was captured - remember that bit of Back in the Village? "I don't have a number, I'm a name?" or something like that.

Yeah, I do actually. Ok, it makes much more sense now.

Oh, and apparently Powerslave is the sequel to Revelations. The baby Pharoah which they wanted to be benevolent turned corrupt anyway.

[ashman]

Cool. Are there any other "sequels" out there?

[Riva]

Revelations has to do with Alister Crowley,the English Alchemist.Bruce has based a number of his songs on this,especially stuff off Chemical Wedding. But its actually really interesting when you read what the song is about and it starts to make sense-Bruces lyrics are class

randomly i dreamt that i was in a band, and we got bruce in as a guest singer for a gig. logically all we played was maiden though. still random as i cant actually play an instrument
and on the theme of songs, they do quite a lot of anicient legends etc as well. like the flight of icarus is an old greek legend, revelations is also the last chapter in the bible, about the end of the world.

somewhere in time is actually older than me

I'm about as old as Powerslave.

[GurS]

i'm as older than seventh son but not as old as somewhere in time

[Lord Abortion]

older than me just by 3 months
*I lied on my profile*

[GurS]

why would you do that?

[Lord Abortion]

**shrugs**

i was in a funny kinda mood
as you can see from my first posts in this thread and others
I can be a bit of a dick sometimes...

[Thunder Fingers]

hmmm.. im in the middle between sit and SSOASS.. january 12 1987

[YDload]

Wow, the Maiden authority is a young lot. Isn't anyone at least old enough to be from the Di'Anno years? How about just Clive Burr then?

I don't really care about your age, I just wish I wasn't the oldest one here, and I'm still technically a teenager!

[GurS]

lol

we still don't know how old Ash is

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

You guys were right, it was Tailgunner. Now can someone tell me how to give rep points so I can give all Maideners points.

[GurS]

you have to click the box with a tick and an X in it, under the person's join date and post count

[btoto]

Hey what is Running Free about???

Is it just a song of a teen reject/outsider or someone in the band or somone they knew???

I realy love that song :)

[GurS]

the first one

[Riva]

I'm not sure what it is about.

And I am 18. :cool:

So I am about Somewhere in Time's age.

[Thunder Fingers]

I don't really care about your age, I just wish I wasn't the oldest one here, and I'm still technically a teenager!

ah, its alright then! :thumb:

yeah, running freee is about some teenage outcast... if we where to judge it by the lyrics.

[GurS]

charlotte the harlot is about an actual person that davey knew. true story.

[Josh]

yeh. whats the actual story behind that though?

[ashman]

I'm not sure what it is about.

And I am 18. :cool:

So I am about Somewhere in Time's age.

I'm also 18. I think I was born about 2 months after the release of SIT. I was born on the 19th August 1986. When's your Birthday Riva?

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

I GOT POWERSLAVE BACK. I'm gonna go listen to it for hours upon hours like the good old days.

[ashman]

Powerslave, I might put it on in a minute, I haven't listened to it in Eons.

Cheers for the Reppage :thumb:

[Bass Space]

[Thunder Fingers]

[Josh]

I GOT POWERSLAVE BACK. I'm gonna go listen to it for hours upon hours like the good old days.
i just dont ever lend maiden out unless ive made a compilation cd of my own to use to convert the heathen.
powerslave is also probably one of the best maiden albums, if you can say that some are better than others

[Josh]

It's a good album, it's got greats like Losfer Words (Big 'Orra), Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Aces High, and loads of other great one :thumb:
i dont have them all yet, ive got five proper ones and some pirates, cant afford them all genuine and i dont have enough space for all 23 (inc. live albums)

[Lord Abortion]

powerslave rules
its not just the four famous songs from it that make it that good
it's the really underrated ones like the duellists and flash of the blade (incredible opening riff) that do it!

[Josh]

[Arucard]

666 post is a very important one for us maideners.
which on of you is doing an FA on maiden?

[Thunder Fingers]

anyone irritated that mx has no tabs on drums for futureal?
gurs plays drums he'll be angry too...

well, its an rather easy song for all the instruments, i bet you could figure out by ear.. the drummers in my bands have always used their ears..

[Thunder Fingers]

oh.. i have records to :p Powerslave and piece of Mind.. not many.. but they are LP's..

[GurS]

i'm not angry, it's a crap song.

i am, however, angry at the lack of a tab for the fallen angel

[Money$hot]

The LPs I have are Live After Death and Somewhere in Time. At 30, I'm probably among the oldest guys on this thread -- I first got into Maiden in 1987 [age 13], having missed the SIT tour and waiting on SSOASS to be released. Kinda strange that - at least around here - all the emo kids converting to metalcore are heavy into Maiden these days.

[ashman]

I think the Authority should do a "joint" FA, and anyone else who wants to get involved...

Dammit, I forgot to put Powerslave in my list...

Well the Emo kids probably come from FFAF supporting Maiden last year, the buggers!!!

[Thunder Fingers]

a Maiden FA would be VERY long! so its an good idea that we join forces :p


Where the hell is Frail? i start to miss the bugger! :upset:

that is bad. the fallen angel is a class song.

FFAF really did suck balls when they supported maiden...biggest cheer they got was when they left the stage lol.
hardly anyone in my village is into metal most of them listen to dance crap and hang out round the phone box smoking. i'd much rather be at home listening to maiden :thumb:

[Lord Abortion]

yeah, where the hell is Frail?
I even put him as one of my votes for best mxer in the pit thread awards thingy...
and I suppose I will have to learn futureal by ear
ah well more work for me...

[Josh]

its not exactly a long song anyway, so once you work out fills etc it shouldnt be too hard. as i'm not a drummer i cant really talk though (in fact i dont play anything)

[Lord Abortion]

You play with yourself... :thumb:

but I like futureal
It's pretty much standard rock in maiden terms though

[Josh]

yeh. not one of the best, but theres worse (e.g. the apparition)
and is playing with yourself a crime?!?!?!?!?

[ashman]

You play with yourself... :thumb:

Futureal is far better with the 3 Guitars, and live, and with Bruce :thumb:

[Josh]

of course. what song isnt?!?!

[Lord Abortion]

Futureal is far better with the 3 Guitars, and live, and with Bruce :thumb:
when did they do that?
bnw tour?

[ashman]

Nope, it's the last track on the Best of the B-sides. I think it was the tour before that, when Bruce rejoined. I can't remember the name of that tour.

[Thunder Fingers]

Ed Hunter Tour. :thumb:

[Lord Abortion]

nice
was that not called"metal 2000" tour or was that completely different?

[Thunder Fingers]

nice
was that not called"metal 2000" tour or was that completely different?

i am quite sure it was called ed hunter.. it was another best of tour in honour to the "Ed Hunter" album/PC game, there for eddie looking the way he did.. Metal 2000 must have been an festival or somthing..

[Lord Abortion]

cool nice to get that clear man

[ashman]

Ed Hunter Tour. :thumb:

Wasn't that with Blaze though? I'm really confused now.

[Lord Abortion]

just voted for hallowed...
come on it's the greatest song ever written!!!

[ashman]

After Mettallica won Best Metal Band ever, I decided to Boycott those votes, since they are just plain stupid, and those annoying little kids will vote Mettallica...


^Probably makes no sense due to the Anger I am going through right now!

[Lord Abortion]

wow, just realised I am only behind the authority in maiden postcount!

wierd...

[ashman]

Indeed, I need to step up my post count in here too, I'm behind Gur by about 100 posts...

[ashman]

Whatever happened to everyone else in this thread? I haven't YDload and Hondo for a while...

[Thunder Fingers]

Wasn't that with Blaze though? I'm really confused now.

i really do belive it was with bruce... *goes check what it says in the best of the B-sides booklet...*

I stand Corrected, I just thought the tour for Ed Hunter was with Blaze since "The Angel And Gambler" video used footage from the game. Well that sorted that. Cheers Eddie :thumb:

[Lord Abortion]

yeah because the whole point of that tour was to get Bruce back into the swing of things

[The Iron Langer]

Need to vote for Hallowed..... :naughty:

[Lord Abortion]

Need to vote for Hallowed..... :naughty:
do it then!!!

[ashman]

Yeh I know that. I think it was pretty cool that Wasted Years was on the setlist.

[The Iron Langer]

do it then!!!
I did :thumb:
...."Do not spend your time Milano...worrying about those Wasted Beerz!"

[Lord Abortion]

ain't it funny how it ends...
good song...
It is going to be maiden vs. maiden in these polls
run to the hills is possibly the weakest song there IMO
but it is magnificent
but I prefer the trooper et al.
it's all good!

[ashman]

I did :thumb:
...."Do not spend your time Milano...worrying about those Wasted Beerz!"

I always wondered why he said "Beers"...

[The Iron Langer]

Its kinda odd how Run To the Hills is their most famous song yet not their best by any stretch of the imagination.I mean i love it but..

[ashman]

True, I think it's because it's short, snappy, and gives you what Maiden are in one short song.
