Iron Maiden

[the_uber_penguin]

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..

There's three reasons for that:

1. It's their poppiest (to the extent that it's less then 4 minutes (I think, not all versions) and only has one guitar solo)

2. It's the song that got them onto Top Of The Pops

3. It was their first single with Bruce Dickenson on vocals, which added something fantastic to the band.

[The Iron Langer]

I always wondered why he said "Beers"...
:lol: He likes saying silly things.maybe all their Beers were spilling in the mosh pit-aahhh sacrilage-Wasting Beer
Bruce is hilarious.Actually i was listening to his rock show the other night and he was on about how David Lee Roth is training to become a paramedic and he says"yeh and if hes ever covering Rush he can sing The Temples Of Syringe" :lol: I thought twas very funny :lol:

[ashman]

Not true, they performed Women in Uniform and Running Free (I think), before the release of the first album.

[The Iron Langer]

...They did indeed
Did anyone see em do Wildest dreams on TOTP.janick looked like he was gona die from lack of movement cause the stage was so small :D

Bruce is such a great guy, my mum fancies him as well. :lol:

Yeh that was great, and it was the same when they did Run To The Hills when they re-released it :lol:

[The Iron Langer]

Bruce is such a great guy, my mum fancies him as well. :lol:
Hey-speaking from a females point of view,Bruce looks very well for his age :D

[YDload]

A vote for "Hallowed Be Thy Name" is a vote for all that is good in metal. Even Metallica fans can't vote for their band's song, "Call of Kthulu" without hesitating. It's boring, it's got a borrowed Mustaine riff in it, and most importantly... it's not as good as HBTN!

[Riva]

Run To The Hills has Maiden's catchiest chorus. I think that is why everyone loves it. Even my twin sister doesn't mind it.

[Alessandro]

Does anyone know where I can find live mp3 versions (if there are any) of the following songs: All My Love, The Lemon Song, Ten years gone, Babe Im Gonna Leave You. Some other rare material would be also appreciated, thanks!

Oops Wrong forum, lol! Sorry!

I think the three of us should definatly do a joint maiden FA. between us, we'll right a 200 page tome on the history of Maiden. Oh yeh. :cool:

[DigitalBath]

I think Bruce shud grow his hair again! He's the odd one out! what do u guys think?

Nah he should leave it short, it's suits his personality and his position in the band better. :thumb:

Guess what the next FA after Paranoidd's is. And who is doing it. :cool:

Any random facts you guys have, just post em up. I would love to have the knowledge you three have. :thumb:

[GurS]

I know most of the history off by heart :cool:

So, like, why not write your FA, and then send it to us, we'll like add bits in or correct facts etc. if you want, and send it back to you for final editing before you put it up.

[Riva]

Cool. I'll e-mail it to the Maiden Authority, so that you guys can approve it. :thumb:

[ashman]

Yeh thats sounds cool. It's gonna be huge though :thumb:

[Thunder Fingers]

2. It's the song that got them onto Top Of The Pops


um... no.. that would be "running Free". dude, dont you have "early days"? there are 2 preformances of Running free on "top of the pops"..

[icebase]

dude, you have the bbc archives and beast over hammersmith? where did you get thoose from? they are a part of eddies archive, wich, also, Best of the B-sides is... :confused: i didnt thought they sold them as single cd's...

from a car boot sale in france. Just got them like three weeks ago. only cost me five euro. They are in brilliant condition.

[Thunder Fingers]

Yeh thats sounds cool. It's gonna be huge though :thumb:

i'll help out with what i know.. (need somthing about Steve? i'm the guy :lol: )

[Lord Abortion]

yeah I know most of the history myself
even tho im not in your authority....

[Josh]

1. It's their poppiest (to the extent that it's less then 4 minutes (I think, not all versions) and only has one guitar solo)

2. It's the song that got them onto Top Of The Pops

3. It was their first single with Bruce Dickenson on vocals, which added something fantastic to the band.
actually running free was the song that got them onto top of the pops (charted at 34)

[Thunder Fingers]

Dudes... i just heard the screams of the roadie who broke his arm at the end of Sign of the cross at Rock in Rio..(mostly becouse i was listening for it..) that was 'kin freaky.. if you use Sourround on it you hear it quite good, its when bruce joins rest maiden at the scene(when he starts singing again at the very end of the song) he was supposed to come up on an somkinda platform with wings, but somthing went wrong, and the plat form landed on the arm of an roadie and broked it.. didnt know how many who knows about this from before but ****... thoose screams... :upset:

[Lord Abortion]

gonna listen for that
**** man...

[Thunder Fingers]

gonna listen for that
**** man...

if you look closely, you can see the wings of the platform behind nicko through all the song.

[Lord Abortion]

was it the ed hunter tour when Bruce sang that suspended from the roof with huge angel wings?
that was in the maiden biography

[Thunder Fingers]

was it the ed hunter tour when Bruce sang that suspended from the roof with huge angel wings?

Probaly the same thing yes, but this was on the BNW tour :p

[Metallicasthebest!!!!]

What song do you guys think is better.....The Trooper or Number of the Beast??

[ashman]

The Trooper and NOTB both have good points:

Trooper:
Gallop Rhythm :thumb:
Twin solos
Chantterific chours
Great Sextuplet riff
Great song to sing when going into battle

NOTB:
Great intro, second only to SOTC
Simple Power chord verse
Great song to "mosh" to
Great twin solo
Great camp chaos video :thumb:

I can't choose though.

you see Bruce in the Flaming wings on the out of the silent planet video, I really wish it was on RiR... :(

[Lord Abortion]

personally the trooper

that's a ****ing difficult choice

[ashman]

I that vote is easily in the bag for HBTH name...

Another Victory for the Justice League....I mean Maiden Thread :thumb:

[Lord Abortion]

haha!

*white man jumping high five*

[GurS]

indeed

also, if you listen to 'back in the village', when bruce sings "i see sixes all the way", you can here Steve (probably) whispering "six six six"

[ashman]

It does sound like Steve, so it must be him...

[GurS]

indeed.

steve has a terrible voice :( yet he tries so hard

[ashman]

true, poor guy. I'd prefer him to have a bad voice to being a bad Bass player and Song writer.

[Thunder Fingers]

you see Bruce in the Flaming wings on the out of the silent planet video, I really wish it was on RiR... :(

ah well, works fine with out them, you get a man doing screaming backing vocals with out fitting the music instead, works just fine :p

[Thunder Fingers]

true, poor guy. I'd prefer him to have a bad voice to being a bad Bass player and Song writer.

what? I love That raspy,struggeling backing Vocals....


*Ruuuuuun to the Hills!*

[ashman]

He should have been lead vocals for Run to The Hills, I'd like to see him do that Bruce scream... :lol:

[ashman]

I still can't hear that bloke with the broken arm scream....


/sadist

[GurS]

i'll have to lookit 2moro

OK, new question ya'll

favourite Camp Chaos vid.

Mine's the trooper

[Lord Abortion]

I like flight of Icarus or Run to the hills best for vids
but flight of icarus (the song) is not one of their best
rtth has a kinda star wars-y thing going on in the video
and steve CAN'T sing ...
but who cares!?!
he's the best bassist and songwriter in the world!

[Josh]

ive only seen the camp chaos video for run to the hills, quite random
ive seen videos for 2 minutes to midnight, number of the beast, wicker man, can i play with madness and bring your daughter to the slaughter
on 2 minutes to midnight when bruce is headbangin (well sort of) it looks like hes got a wig on because of how his hair sort of bounces

[airborne50caliber]

love when it goes "his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave"

[Lord Abortion]

yeah it's overplayed though and I just got sick of it...

[GurS]

i <3 flight of icarus

[Lord Abortion]

i <3 flight of icarus
Me too I just don't as much as I used to...

[Josh]

i havnt listened to it in a while...ive always quite liked it. even though its not a particulary fast song

[GurS]

the best bit is the outro solo

[Josh]

yeh that outtro solo is amazing

[GurS]

indeed.

the original icarus vid > camp chaos

[Lord Abortion]

foi is played a hell of a lot faster live...

[GurS]

tru say

[Josh]

havent seen either vid...theres a pic of nicko filming the vid in his big cloak thing in the piece of mind insert

[GurS]

tru say

i like that :P

[Lord Abortion]

tru say

i like that :P
he has such a typically Nicko grin on his face :)

*gets gurs' post*

:amaze:

[Josh]

probably all the orginal videos are better than camp chaos ones...cartoons bug me

and in the wicker man what the hell is bruce swinging around his head?!?

[GurS]

i should SO dress up as nicko for halloween.

I'd need to bash my face into a brick wall a few times, though.

[GurS]

a bubble

[Josh]

and the relevance of the bubble is...

[GurS]

it blows up at the end :p

[GurS]

also: i've over taken Frail in post :D

[Josh]

lol ok always a good thing...mmmmmmmmm explosion....lol :thumb:
ive only seen that vid once anyway...it was on for iron maiden on a-z of rock on scuzz a while ago

[Josh]

also: i've over taken Frail in post :D
well frail did disappear quite a long time ago

[GurS]

tru say

scuzz > kerrang by far

[Josh]

yeh
kerrang plays loads of crappy nu-metal and annoying punk rock crap. and the majority of its american as well. english metal is loads better. although i dont mind metallica

[ashman]

foi is played a hell of a lot faster live...

Most songs are played slightly faster when played live, especially in the earlier days.

[GurS]

aye. hallowed be thy name on live after death *rofl*

[Josh]

yeh. also bring your daughter to the slaughter gets played a hell of a lot faster

[GurS]

^ my band covers that

[Thunder Fingers]

I still can't hear that bloke with the broken arm scream....


/sadist

you have to have it on sorround, and you hear him quite well if you listen after it...

[GurS]

so, question:

should we say to the MX mods "Look, authorities are really good ideas, it means that noobs get their questions answered without being insulted and/or patronized, and we stop people being c**ts (i.e. that dude that called YDLoad an idiot) so why not encourage other Official band threads to make authorities?"

yes or no?

or do we want to be unique in having thread fountains of knowledge/policemen/cool dudes? :cool:

[Josh]

^ my band covers that
cool. its one hell of a song. also you can make it sound really evil if its sung deep enough / with enough of a "growl"

[Josh]

being unique would be cool...although it would stop poor buggers getting flamed in other threads as well...like some guy in the sabbath thread who was on about a load of crap

[ashman]

Yes :thumb:

I think this Authority is one of my best ideas yet :thumb:

But we better get credited for this :naughty:

could be cool, but what also would have been cool would been an kinda sub-forum for official threads, where the important ones for the big bands(like Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth and Black Sabbath got stickied...)

[YDload]

Did anyone watch VH1's "40 Most Awesomely Bad Metal Songs?" Number 36 was "Bring Your Daughter..."

I think it was a good idea, because how often is Maiden on any of the music channels? Not very often here in the US. Also, they prefaced their choice by saying, "Iron Maiden is so metal that the world's top metal-ologists use them to calibrate their instruments. But even the best bands make mistakes..." So it was nice to see Maiden on TV.

*The Maiden fans at MX replys to this: "*Cough* it was realy meant as an song for nightmare on elm street, written by bruce dickinson only(maby a little janick gers in it to..)"*

seriouse, whats wrong with it? i like it?

I think the consensus was that it's far below Maiden's standards, and it verges on being a "sell-out" song because it went to number 1 in the UK despite not being as good as almost any other Maiden single.

I personally love the fact that someone tried to rhyme "daughter" with "slaughter," but you've gotta admit that it doesn't really make much sense.

My friend said that when Maiden did Bring your daughter to the Slaughter on top of the pops, they had to mime it, so they just messed about, and started swapping instruments mid-song. I really would have loved to have seen that... :thumb:

i have no doubt they did that if they had to mime :lol: when they played Running Free at the Top of the Pops, they refused to mime, so they was the first band in about... 10 years who played live there :lol:

so i bet if someone forced them to mime, they would not try to look like they played it..

let me guess the line up change they did :p

Vocals: Janick
Guitar: Bruce
Guitar: Steve
Bass: Nicko
Drumms: Dave

even here in the UK theres not much maiden on music channels.
oh and btw, bring your daughter...got golden raspberry award over here for worst song of the year, then debuted at number one...nice

[Josh]

hopefully if theyre taking a while getting it done theres going to be loads of dates :thumb:

well, im happy, i have gotten mine! :lol: *looks at Maiden tickets for both gigs in Oslo...* :D :thumb:

how far you got to travel to go see them? last time i only had to go 35 miles

[Thunder Fingers]

how far you got to travel to go see them? last time i only had to go 35 miles

dont know... its 45 minutes with plane, its 8 hours with train, and 10 hours with bus :p

[Josh]

jesus! some way to go. if i travelled for that long i would have gone about 350 miles
if they play download festival next year i'll just travel up to download scotland, its only about 3 hours...hopefully theyll do newcastle though

[ashman]

I dunno about Newcastle, they said mostly festivals for next year.

[Thunder Fingers]

jesus! some way to go. if i travelled for that long i would have gone about 350 miles

errrh... i meant its Either 45 minutes with plane, i8 hours with train or 10 hours with bus.. :p

[ashman]

But still that's some distance to go...

[Josh]

well even if they only do festivals its still not too far to travel from where i am (northern england) to glasgow.
where you at ash?

[Josh]

well as so far tour dates only go up to july 2005 they possibly wont announce UK tour dates for a few more weeks...if they tour here in august that would tie in with reading / leeds but i dont see why they would play there as thats mostly new rock...when is download going to be next year?
or i spose if maiden are playing it they could call it monsters of rock again...

[GurS]

good evening people.

So, we suggesting authorities for everyone? safe. Who wants to make the suggestion to the mods?

Also:

Bring your daughter... we decided to do because the crowd can get REALLY into it (SEE: Live At Donnington) and stuff. It's be great if at gigs people started clapping along in time and if we did "when i say bring your daugther, you say fetch your daughter" (again, SEE: Live At Donnington). It;s a fun song to play, too. Of course, I have the hardest part to play. **** you Nicko, with your irregular ride patterns! *shakes fist*

[Arucard]

yeh i would love them to play download it would just be like
/Buy tickets
maiden get to much flack for their cornier songs, but i think their just as good

you maiden authority guys do a good job.
one day if the authority expands, i would like to join, or if i post in here more
i voted for all maiden songs in the polls so far, where i could
how about u guys

[GurS]

^ as did I.

Seeing as frail does not return, I'm all for considering getting a fourth. Don't know bout the others.

True stuff: Maiden are one of all only three bands to get all their Round One songs into Round Two (the others being Hendrix and Tool)

[Arucard]

Because the maiden authority, plus me and some others, seem to love maiden that much. I swear, HBTN better ****ing win

Lord Abortion is next one in line in that case :p but i dont think we could have more than 4, becouse then about everyone who posts here would be the authority...

[Arucard]

how do you find out who has the most posts?
and i really wanted to do a maiden FA, but someone else has dibsed it
have u guys read my killers review? it seems no one has bothered. lol

[GurS]

well, I don't know if we need four yet. But I don't think it should exclusviely go in order of post amount - it should go in order of Maiden-y knowledge and the respect they have within the thread. After all, you're not going to be very authoritive if you have no respect and therefore no-one cares what you say, are you :p

[GurS]

I read it and posted in it.

Do the same for my S/T review :p

Riva is doing the FA, who's also consulting the MA in regards to extra tidbits of knowledge.

[Arucard]

oh thats good then, i like riva hes a cool guy
btw i rep ++ you guys for keeping maiden alive
vote for HBTN the poll is up guys

[Thunder Fingers]

if we were going after post count, i would be YER GREAT LEADER(eddie-the-great if ya wanna call me :lol: )

Has been done... it would really be great if the regulars from this thread posted in the thread to approve of your support. YDLoad and Riva already put in their support, and, seeing as they're 4-star members, this should help, but obviously the more that say it's a good idea, the more that the powers that be shall take the idea on board

[Arucard]

i reckon the authority is a good idea, but the only bands i have a ridiculous knowledge on are the filaments, pro-pain and of course maiden, so i guess i would be at a loss.

[shadow_stalker]

what is the maiden authority?

[Arucard]

what is the maiden authority?

the three most knowladable people in this thread, who know more about maiden than everyone else, and they moderate maiden discussions and stuff.

No Problem, you seem to know what your talking about...


I just been on my daily drinking session, I met this cool barman, who told me how to down aftershock properly, it had more of a kick than 85% Absinthe. It was 'kin Ace. Oh and I need to check how much it's gonna cost me to go to Paris in June to see the Hallowed band...

That's the proposal we're putting forward, to give you a brief ideas about what our authority is.

Joe got it in one, very succint might I add.

[shadow_stalker]

then i wouldnt say sack-man no offense to him but i know him and the amount of knowledge he has about maiden

and as for lord_abortion any kind of authority would just go striaght to his head

I was thinking YDLoad but he doesn't know enough about Maiden, or so he syas.

(IE. revelations being the best dickinson era song)
i totally support the idiea of authorities
what does succint mean?

[GurS]

everyone go over to the "best 12-string song" thread and say Prodigal Son

[ashman]

the three most knowladable people in this thread, who know more about maiden than everyone else, and they moderate maiden discussions and stuff.

Why did my head suddenly get bigger?

The new member thing is gonna be a bugger to choose...I suggest a vote from all the members that post in this thread. Anyone agree?

[GurS]

I actualy think we're ok with three for now. If we get a sudden influx of new members, then we should get a fourth, but right now, the three of us are just about competent :p

i get the Runto the Hills biografy soon, so if its somthing we dont know, i can find it in 2 - 3 minutes :lol: :thumb:

[Arucard]

yup.
im just wondering GurS, i know you love Nicko with all of your drumming heart, but what do you think is his best song? (drum wise) i may have to be conservative and say 'where eagles dare' but the drumming on 'hallowed be thy name' and 'the prisoner' (when he does it, not clive) both seem to be good.

[ashman]

*Puts on Gur Mask* I think the best Nicko song is..........


*Drum Roll*


........Out of the Silent Planet.

:lol:


I think the Run to the Hills Biography should be required reading for the Maiden Crew :thumb:

[GurS]

After much deliberation, I'm gonna say Out Of The Silent Planet. Fills wise, it's not very good, as there are basically no fills, but as for a beat... the bass-drum triplets you hear from the second chorus onwards incredible. He's doing that with ONE FOOT. It's near impossible, Nicko's probably got the fastest foot in the world, and that's probably the best example of that fact. Other good examples of feet work are The Wicker Man, The Evil That Men Do, No More Lies and The Mercenary.

Though the intro fills on Where Eagles Dare are pretty **** good.

haha
yeh out of the silent planet is good, but i can do the triplets for a time at least (but i have a DW 5000 series pedal, and have been playing three years so u know...) Clive era wise, 'iron maiden' kicks total drumming *** on the record and so does 'muerders in the rue morgue' and 'genghis kahn'

[GurS]

ghengis kahn i find simple. it's fast, but simple. can you do those triplets with one foot, though?

[ashman]

I think the Trooper is a pretty good song Drum wise...So many fills. Nicko surely sold his sould to the Devil for such mastery on the tubs.

[GurS]

Oh, and a futher reason why Nicko is amazing - he's entirely 100% self-taught

[Thunder Fingers]

yes.. thats why hes an hardcore christian.. :D
:wave:

[Arucard]

ghengis kahn i find simple. it's fast, but simple. can you do those triplets with one foot, though?

yes, i dont play double pedals, i find them boring and kind of cheating
i can probably do it because i used to play alot of punk, and it builds pedal power amazingly

[ashman]

definate agreement there.

[ashman]

yes.. thats why hes an hardcore christian.. :D
:wave:


Well how else could he have such skills on teh tubs? :lol:


Nicko is the Greatest Drummer this side of anything :thumb:

What a guy!

[Arucard]

i dont mean to sound stupid, and everyone will hate me for saying this, but have you heard the dragonforce drummer?

[GurS]

^ Agreed.

[ashman]

i dont mean to sound stupid, and everyone will hate me for saying this, but have you heard the dragonforce drummer?

Nope...

[Thunder Fingers]

Well how else could he have such skills on teh tubs? :lol:


Nicko is the Greatest Drummer this side of anything :thumb:

What a guy!

hes trying to save himself from the devil... :amaze:

[GurS]

I actually reckon the best drummer ever was Gene Krupa.

[Arucard]

Nope...

have u got msn? cause if you have, add me on freakinacage31@hotmail.com and ill send you some, he is amazing. I swear on my life, he is so riduculosuly good. they are basically maiden, but power metal (ie fast, lots of palm muting)

[Arucard]

or just go to www.dragonforce.com and listen to my spirit will go on

[GurS]

well, we're talkative

[Arucard]

lol i didnt post agen because that would be a triple post, which is wrong
which other bands do you guys love/like other than maiden?

[ashman]

Losfer Words (Big 'Orra) Great Song :thumb:

[Arucard]

hell yes.

[Josh]

Here's my vore for the extra MA member:

1) YDload
2) Lord Abortion
3) HeavyRiva
4) Sack Man
5) 88_fingers_joe.

So who's gonna do the "Authority" suggestion to the mods?
im not bothered about being in the authority. its like shadow_stalker says, i really dont have a huge knowledge of maiden, just knowledge of some things about them. nice to be recognised though :thumb:

[GurS]

I'm a great fan of the three big folk stars - Cat Stevens, Bob Dylan and Paul Simon (and Art Garfunkel).

I'm also a huge Meat Loaf fan.

[Josh]

i like metallica / chili peppers / pink floyd / green day / black sabbath / ozzy osbourne / ac/dc / oasis / foo fighters / velvet revolver and various others.

[Arucard]

cool
im a big power metal fan, Bodom and Dragonforce being my fave bands in that genre
but i also love the uk ska scene at the mo, the filaments, bosseye, capdown and no comply all being great
(but maiden being better)

[Josh]

maiden are definitely the best band in the world...also i just saw the video for wildest dreams on scuzz...1st time ive seen it

[Josh]

theres also a power metal band call HammerFall i like, i havnt heard much of their stuff but i may buy an album after christmas...dont jnow much about them except theyre possibly playing download next year

[GurS]

Yeh? Tis a good vid.

Be Quick Or Be Dead is SUCH a typical early-90's video.

[Arucard]

is it good?

[GurS]

Tis OK I guess

[Arucard]

meh
GurS have ou heard of constant release? its a bass drum pedal technique, and thats how Nicko gets his singles so fast on those triplets.

[GurS]

I can't say that I have - I'm also self-taught.

[Arucard]

ahh ok. well its all about using the bounce of the beater of the bass drum, and using it to strike again and again with alot more ease than doing all of them straight
think of it, as ashman said, as a pendulam.
its like a drum roll, but on a bass drum.

[Josh]

i really dont understand much of this as the only time ive played drums was at lord_abortion's house before we went to see maiden and a few years ago at school when music was compulsory

[ashman]

Listened to a bit of Dragonforce, and I'm very impressed :thumb:

[Arucard]

^
ahhh, another convert

[GurS]

yeh.... except we're going off topic.

new topic:

Best Live Album

[Josh]

my spirit will go on is good. just listened to it on the dragonforce site

[Josh]

hmm only live album ive heard all of is rock in rio and thats kick ***

[Arucard]

i would say live after death (common revelations and Bruce plays guitar)
me and ashman were just talking, and we think it would be a good idea for all us maiden fans, along with the offical authority, to attempt to review all of maidens cd's.
I have said that i will do Virtual 11 and Brave New World and ash said he will do The X Factor
what do you guys think

[ashman]

Best live album : BBC Archives :thumb:

I know it's 3 concerts, and the BBc soundtapes, but it still rocks.

Also Me and Joe have come up with a plan to Review all Maiden Albums in the Review thing.

I got SSOASS and XFactor :thumb:

[GurS]

I'll do that... what's left over to review? Shotgun Piece of Mind if it's open.

[GurS]

it isn't :(

Shotgun Fear of the Dark, Live After Death and Live At Donnington

[ashman]

Me: SSOASS and Xfactor

Gur: POM, FOTD and some Lives

Joe: BNW and VXI

any other Bidders?

Gur you can do more if you want?

[GurS]

^ you may want to edit that.

[Josh]

[Arucard]

well thats been done, but fear of the dark and no prayer for the dying are there
if you want you can do BNW cause i know how much you love the songs off it

[GurS]

POM's already been done

[ashman]

Edited.

You can still do POM if you want, we all do it in one big Post, and name it the Ultimate Maiden Review.

[GurS]

well thats been done, but fear of the dark and no prayer for the dying are there

it's safe, you can go for BNW

[GurS]

Edited.

You can still do POM if you want, we all do it in one big Post, and name it the Ultimate Maiden Review.

OK, I'll do that.

[Arucard]

[Arucard]

Edited.

You can still do POM if you want, we all do it in one big Post, and name it the Ultimate Maiden Review.

ok shall we talk to a Mod about this first
see if its ok.

[GurS]

^ not at all, can i do NOTB Documentary DVD?

[ashman]

We should see what Eddie wants to do. We can't take all the great stuff, and leave him with the good stuff.

[GurS]

^ Tru Say

[Josh]

i'll do whatevers left if its an album ive heard

[Thunder Fingers]

We should see what Eddie wants to do. We can't take all the great stuff, and leave him with the good stuff.

errrh.. no thanks, i suck at reviewing stuff..

[Arucard]

cool, this is gonna be great i think/hope
one problem though, its gonna be like 15 pages long

[Josh]

how do you do reviews on here anyway?

[Josh]

ignore that post i found the review forum

[Arucard]

go look at my killers review or GurS' S/T one, there both good examples of a normal review

[Josh]

ok. anyway im going sleep, probably post sometime tomorrow when i have a free lesson. or i'll jus post tomorrow night.

[Arucard]

actually i will in abit
im gonna get 1,000 posts first

[YDload]

I've reviewed Piece of Mind and The Number of the Beast, but the NOTB review thread was started by someone who never finished his review, so I posted my complete one below that. Check 'em out!

[maiden_cradle]

does anybody know if maiden is coming out with a new album

[Riva]

Wow, I was just thinking, "I should review some Maiden albums..."

So, the FA is nearly finished, and since I have swapped with Rob (Paranoidd) who has been delayed, it should be up by this Monday (Australian Time).

So, any of the Maiden Authority who would like to recieve a draft to ponder/correct, either hit me up on AIM with your e-mail address, or e-mail HeavyRiva@gmail.com. Thanks :thumb:

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

Everyone vote for Aces High or the Trooper...WE MUST WIN!

[YDload]

does anybody know if maiden is coming out with a new album

No they retired because they realized that Metallica is so much better than them.

[the_iron_maiden]

Everyone vote for Aces High or the Trooper...WE MUST WIN!

We can't let these ****ty *** bands beat Maiden!!!!!

[the_iron_maiden]

Metallica can blow my ****ing ****. They were good. Their new stuff is ****. Maiden still puts out kick *** albums.

[ashman]

does anybody know if maiden is coming out with a new album

November '06 is the earliest possible release date for a new album. Also Nicko is pretty much telling everybody about it...


YDload: that better be your patented Sarcasm :naughty:

[Thunder Fingers]

ok, if there is any albums left, i can take 1 or 2 :p

you know, i dont think iron maiden gonna go through this round... since the songs where aces high and the trooper, the votes will get very splitted...

[Lord Abortion]

if there are any left after eddie I will do them
powerslave?
somewhere in time? my fave album after POM
just for the rec. could we sort this review thing out in one big list?
like who is doing what

[ashman]

Me: SSOASS and Xfactor

Gur: POM, FOTD and the Lives

Joe: BNW and VXI

any other Bidders?

Gur you can do more if you want?

That's the list so far, I think Gur is doing NOTB Documentary DVD, and Joe is now doing the Early days. :thumb:

[Lord Abortion]

alright I'll do
somewhere in time tomorrow then...
*i've got work tonight*

[ashman]

I don't think anybody has clamied Somewhere in Time...That would be Frails album *wipes tear*

[Thunder Fingers]

I don't think anybody has clamied Somewhere in Time...That would be Frails album *wipes tear*

I can take SiT In honour to frail....

[ashman]

where is that bastard? i hope nothing have happened to him..

I can take SiT In honour to frail....

I hope he's alright. I think you should have SiT, for Frail...

[GurS]

Metallica can blow my ****ing ****. They were good. Their new stuff is ****. Maiden still puts out kick *** albums.


HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY!

We're not here to flame other bands. We're not here to be crude. We're here to have fun and bask in the glow of Maiden's godliness. If you're gonna stick around, be nice.

Also, just so you know, I nominated all my Maiden Thread peeps in the 100 top MXers

[Thunder Fingers]

I hope he's alright. I think you should have SiT, for Frail...

ok, i will take sit then, its one of my favorite albums, but the review is gonna be very bass oriented :p

[Thunder Fingers]

Also, just so you know, I nominated all my Maiden Thread peeps in the 100 top MXers

:thumb: i would nominate all of you to, if i had decided to nominate.. but i think that one is WAY to pit oriented.... if your not an pit regular you would be lucky to get 1 vote...

Anyway, hows the authority thing going any mod reply's?

[ashman]

Not yet, but YDLoad and Riva have already said they're for it, and another 4-star member said that they though it was a good idea.

Also, have you read that pathetic "Maiden vs Offsping" thread? It's quite amusing.

[ashman]

:thumb: i would nominate all of you to, if i had decided to nominate.. but i think that one is WAY to pit oriented.... if your not an pit regular you would be lucky to get 1 vote...

I don't think we have got any replies yet for the Authority thing, I'll just check.

[Thunder Fingers]

Also, have you read that pathetic "Maiden vs Offsping" thread? It's quite amusing.

i keep myself to good to reply in it :lol: stupid,just stupid...

[ashman]

...Also, have you read that pathetic "Maiden vs Offsping" thread? It's quite amusing.

That guy is being flamed to hell... :lol:

[GurS]

So, what we have now is:

List would be:
Iron Maiden: GurS
Killers:??88 fingers joe have done this??
The Number of The Beast:
Piece of mind: GurS
Powerslave: ??Eddie-the-trooper??
Live After Death: GurS
Somewhere in time: Eddie-the-trooper
Seventh Son of a seventh son: Ashman
No prayer for the dying: ??Eddie-the-Trooper??
Fear Of the Dark: GurS
Live at Donnington: GurS
A real Live/dead one: ??
The X Factor: Ashman
Virtual XI: 88 fingers joe
Brave New World: 88 fingers joe
Dance of Death:Sack-man

[Josh]

i'll review dance of death unless someone else desperately wants to do it

[GurS]

I'm not doing live/dead one

[GurS]

And i thought joe's done killers

[Thunder Fingers]

ok, edited.. that means the number of the beast, powerslave, No prayer for the dying and a real live/dead one wich no one have?

I would rather Have Powerslave since it have 2 of my favorite songs, but if its someone who REALY want to take it, i can take no prayer for the dying.. i will NOT do a live album..

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

No one doing Rock in Rio.

[Josh]

dance of death has already been done so i did fear of the dark. also rock in rio has already been done

[Josh]

infact go in the review forum and check the list of reviewed albums because theres a few that have been done

[GurS]

nah, we're not counting those.

We're doing a SUPER POST with all the cds reviewed by us.

Should we also review all the dvds? I'm already doing the Number Of The Beast DVD, and Joe's doing Early Days.

I'll do Visions if no-one else wants it.

[Josh]

so i could still do dance of death?!?!?!?!?

[Josh]

and yeh we should do dvds as well. count me out of that though as i dont have any of them
