I really want to, but i'm already doing 4 reviews and my copy is scratched beyond workingness, so i'd be reviewing it from memory.

[Thunder Fingers]

i'll do DoD tomorrow sometime, i cant be bothered to now.

i will give SiT some spins in my CD player to have more "In depth listening" of it, and i have to read some reviews of other album to see how its done :p

[Josh]

i have all my maiden cds saved on pc, so i listened to FOTD while reviewing it

[GurS]

i used to have that, but no more.

[Josh]

its the best way for me to listen to music while typing essays etc

[GurS]

^ Tru say

[Thunder Fingers]

GurS: sack just did Fear of the dark, cant you take NOTB then?

[GurS]

:eek:

I'm appalled. What happened to the rule of shotgun?

[Thunder Fingers]

:eek:

I'm appalled. What happened to the rule of shotgun?

dunno... ask him... you are on the list as the Fear of the dark'er

[Josh]

i was already doing it before i checked the list but anyway...as long as they all get reviewed in the end. have DoD if you want

[YDload]

I've already reviewed NOTB and Piece of Mind for the CD reviews forum, so it would be pretty easy for someone to just copy-and-paste my reviews into the official Maiden biography and credit me. Because I'm lazy and demand recognition, dammit!

[Thunder Fingers]

The list is then:
Iron Maiden: GurS (done)
Killers:88 fingers joe (done?)
The Number of The Beast:Ydload(done)

Who wants no prayer for the dying and/or a Real live/dead one?

[Arucard]

[Riva]

Pretty good. Nearly completed the Maiden article. Gurs, you can expect it by (my) tomorrow. :thumb:

Check your User CP, Joe.

[GurS]

Someone locked the FOTD review... does that mean it still counts as done?

[hypocracy hater]

Question:

D'annio (sp?) got kicked out because of alcoholism, why did Smith and Dickenson leave ???

[Arucard]

thx riva
why are u banned!

[Riva]

Question:

D'annio (sp?) got kicked out because of alcoholism, why did Smith and Dickenson leave ???


Smith was annoyed at Maiden returning to their roots with No Prayer For The Dying. Harris wanted to make the album sound more like Piece Of Mind, but Smith wanted to continue with the direction they had begun with Seventh Son.

[GurS]

and bruce enjoyed making his solo album so much, he decided to leave and focus on a solo career. Jannick was suggested as a replacement for H as Jannick played on Bruce's first solo album.

[Arucard]

well there you go, i learn something new everyday

[GurS]

as do i.

[Arucard]

i learnt that mark tremonti is definatly one of the best guitarists around yesterday
he ENJOYS himself when he plays, not standing there rooted to the ground with his guitar neck high.

[Thunder Fingers]

not realy maiden :p

anyone noticed that janick pretty much stands still when he plays his own solos? i noticed on blood brothers..

[GurS]

^ that's true.

why is it on (i think) brave new world, he kinda twiddels his fingers as he draws his hand back from the guitar.

Also, on the back of the FOTD sleeve, Jannick looks like a tramp :)

[Arucard]

lol, but u cant not love jannick right?

[Thunder Fingers]

lol, but u cant not love jannick right?

oh yeah, he is the cool guitarist!

[GurS]

Riva, i've sent you the edited version of your FA

[Lateralias]

lol, but u cant not love jannick right?

Yup, Jannick is a great third guitarist for the band.

[Lord Abortion]

can I do real live/ dead one then?

[Thunder Fingers]

can I do real live/ dead one then?

yes, yes you can. :thumb:

[Lateralias]

I'd do No Prayer For The Dying but I don't own it...

[Lord Abortion]

yes, yes you can. :thumb:
alright cool :D

[Riva]

Riva, i've sent you the edited version of your FA


Thanks a bunch. I must admit my resources were somewhat sketchy for a lot of things. :thumb:

[Cain]

I much prefer Murray over the other two. Although I admit I haven't really heard enough of Janick to say.

[GurS]

H is my favourite, though Davey's probably the best techincally

[cai2k]

Due to the rules, I'm not sure whether I'm allowed to post this,but... lol..... I love maiden, they're the greatest metal band, in my opinion. But i'm anti-racist, and Run to the hills sounds quite racist...

Is it racist, or anti-racist song? I've heard from some that it's anti-racist. What do you think?

[Riva]

It isn't rascist. It just discusses the plight of the American Indians when the English invaded their country.

The line, "The only good injuns are tame" is supposedly what the "cowboys" were saying. It doesn't reflect what Bruce and the guys personally thought about the Native Americans.

Ahh... good good. Cos I thought it was their opinion. I think it's " the only good indians are tame" isn't it? I might be wrong tho

[Thunder Fingers]

Ahh... good good. Cos I thought it was their opinion. I think it's " the only good indians are tame" isn't it? I might be wrong tho

if you acctualy listen to the text of the song, you will see that they are changing between seeing it from the indians side, and from the europeans side.. it starts of "White Man came" right? so its a two way song...


also, i prefer Adrian as the guitarist, dunno why, its justt somthing about that guy's playing and stuff like that...

[Thunder Fingers]

ey, YDload! i cannot play all of Flight of icarus becouse i have never learned all of it :lol: i will learn it! infact, i will learn the rest of it tomorrow, i know the main riff :p

[Josh]

argh trying to read forums while drunk is not fun. i still cant be bothered to do the Dance of Death review but at some point it will be done :)

very true. anyway i wouldnt like maiden anywhere as near as much as i do if they were racist.

[ashman]

Hey guys, I haven't really had a chance to get online for the last few days. When are we going to get our reviews done for? I should be able to get them done by Wednesday night (Bear in mind that I crap loads of Coursework to do).

And sack man: You're drunk at 3:46PM? That's way a bit to early...especially on a weekend...

[Josh]

yeh well i do work in a pub...piss-up at the end of a shift is great...until my dad comes to pick me up lol

[ashman]

I've always wanted to own a pub, I'd call it "Eddies lair" or "The Ruskin Arms 2"

[shadow_stalker]

[ashman]

Voted, I was like the 3rd or 4th person to vote Maiden. I think we may loose to One. I hate 'tallica!

[Lord Abortion]

I think we may loose to One. I hate 'tallica!
I like one but metallica are generally wank
we could have a "metallica are wank" club with little badges...

[Arucard]

[Lord Abortion]

ha ha ha. **** you

you're gonna get banned so piss off and keep your stupid, pig- ignorant,
badly researched comments to your gimpy, infantile self

[ashman]

Yeah you tell him, now let's just ignore the foo'

[Josh]

i'm a waiter. so fun. working in a pub rules anyway. free drink. now...time to vote in best r&m song

[ashman]

Hmm...Maiden aren't doing to well in the best R&M song...

[Josh]

i know...its depressing...thats definitely one of their most classic, well known songs...

[Lord Abortion]

god dammit
hallowed be thy name MUST win
I can,t believe that the number is losing to tool
I mean who the f'uck are tool?

[ashman]

And they are losing to Metallica. One is probably the most overrated 'talica song ever.


Anyone noticed how the Metallica thread has died...

[Josh]

Hey. I was wondering if the rock in rio set is a good example of Maiden. I have it and love it but have not heard any albums besides DOD.

[Lateralias]

Hey. I was wondering if the rock in rio set is a good example of Maiden. I have it and love it but have not heard any albums besides DOD.

Rock In Rio is pretty good, I have the DVD. As for a good example of Maiden, get something way older like The Number Of The Beast, Peice Of Mind, or Powerslave. I'd recommend Powerslave out of the three, cause it'll appeal to you if you like DOD most likely.

[Magnum357]

I have the Rock in Rio DVD and I really dont like it at all.. Bruce's voice is terrible. It sounds worn out and tired.

Other than that, good performance from the rest of the band.. and great stage effects

The clansman was my fav track on Rock In Rio, but I do agree, the whole show is just amazing.

[thelittledrummerboy]

I have a question. Why did Adrian leave the band and why did he and Bruce come back? What ever happened to Blaze? I do think Bruce is the better singer though.

[Lord Abortion]

Blaze is in "Blaze" now silicon messiah is a very good album
he is a very good vocalist
just not Bruce though!
Adrian was more commercial and wanted to do his own stuff so he left

They came back because of a personal request by me...

wait, no, that's not right...

[ashman]

Blaze got chucked out...

Bruce decided to rejoin, and Adrian followed suit :thumb:

well, yeah...
no one knows really what went on between steve and blaze because he still won't talk about it I suppose Bruce's return was meant to be
but I feel sorry for Blaze he took it with good grace though
not like say, Stratton with his "sergeant- major Harris" stories...

Is anyone buying (has bought) the early years DvD. I've always wanted to see the clip where they kill Eddie at the end of the world piece tour (1983)

stop throwing **** about Nicko! :angry:

unless it says somthing about it on www.ironmaiden.com , no, there are no new dates...

[icebase]

not dissin nicko it's just alot of clives stuff is alot more complicated and fun to play.

[Lord Abortion]

as has been said before the chances of clive burr ever playing for maiden again are nil
as he is very ill with M.S

[ashman]

There is only like a second of that scene, since it wasn't broadcasted.

Where was that? I don't think I have seen that. :upset:

at the end of the documentary...

[ashman]

But that wasn't long though was it?

[GurS]

evening all

[Thunder Fingers]

But that wasn't long though was it?

it was from he enterd stage, until dave smacked him with his guitar a couple of times... i think it was like 30 seconds, a minute...

hey gurs...

[GurS]

OMG joint second

[Thunder Fingers]

OMG joint second

:confused:

[ashman]

aye aye

i should hopefully be getting eddie's archives tomorrow

Cool cool, it's ace :thumb:

[GurS]

safe

how come you and eddie didn't help out with the FA?

[cai2k]

I thought maiden said "Dance of death" was their last tour? maybe I'm wrong

[GurS]

their last HUUGE tour i.e. their last 9-monther

[Thunder Fingers]

safe

how come you and eddie didn't help out with the FA?

i would.. only that i suddenly saw "FA 5: IRON MAIDEN".. so i couldnt do anything :p

[ashman]

I had the same problem as Eddie :(

[Thunder Fingers]

****.. tie between maiden and tool... :mad:

ok, is there anymore maiden song wich are possible to face each other? in that case we shouldnt vote straight when its up, but agree on wich to vote so we can get it through? :p there there was an major problem with aces and the trooper...

[ashman]

True, but a lot of the voters won't be looking in this thread.

[Arucard]

lol
i voted for number

[Thunder Fingers]

True, but a lot of the voters won't be looking in this thread.

yeah, but atleast we 4 - 5 who are here can united votes :p

like, if number of the beast goes through now, we would vote for hallowed if everybody agreed... :)

[ashman]

That might work...let's win this poll :thumb:

[miss_mcbrain]

So.... wheres the poll? :naughty:

[GurS]

i hope tool wins this poll.

[ashman]

I hope we don't get as divided as we did in the last poll.

[Arucard]

well i think we should pick hallowed be thy name.

[Thunder Fingers]

i hope tool wins this poll.

dont think its much chance for it.. maiden are allready over 50% before tool...(last time i checked...)

[Thunder Fingers]

well i think we should pick hallowed be thy name.

i would certanly do, after rime, its my favorite song...

[GurS]

if we wanted to have been sneaky, we could have made another acount each and vote for the tool song in poll 5 :evil:

[ashman]

if we wanted to have been sneaky, we could have made another acount each and vote for the tool song in poll 5 :evil:

That's a bit unethical...

I think it's going to NOTB, 70% have gone for NOTB

[Arucard]

why do you want tool to win

[ashman]

why do you want tool to win

So that in the final round the Maiden fans aren't divided. We need to unite for HBTN...

[Thunder Fingers]

if we wanted to have been sneaky, we could have made another acount each and vote for the tool song in poll 5 :evil:

you should have thought of this BEFORE the poll started :p

[GurS]

^ i know.

Ash, it's early days. the poll doesn't close for like 22 hours

[Thunder Fingers]

should we just go: "the authority have decided that Tool can win on a Walk over!"

:confused:

[Arucard]

lol, we coulkd try

[GurS]

we could

[ashman]

It would be interesting to see if it works...

[GurS]

I doubt it. we don't represet all the maiden fans on the board, just those in this thread.

[Thunder Fingers]

well, they could start coming in here.. :p

[Riva]

So, looks like it is gonna be NOTB vs HBTN, seeing as 46&2 is being destroyed.

[Thunder Fingers]

we still have all the night.... but i think hallowed gonna get the most of the votes anyway in the final...

[YDload]

I think the Maiden Authority should put its collective foot down that Hallowed Be Thy Name is the one song to vote for above all other Maiden songs. Yea or nay?

[GurS]

I'm gonna go HBTN, but all the stupid fanboys are gonna vote stairway

[ashman]

I'm going for HBTN, I hope we win this poll. If it looks like it's going pear shaped we could always get ppl from the IM board...hehe *evil laugh*

[Riva]

Wow, looks like the scheming never ends in the Maiden thread. :lol:

So, d'you guys enjoy my FA?

Thanks a hell of a lot to GurS. Thankyou! :thumb:

[Thunder Fingers]

I'm going for HBTN, I hope we win this poll. If it looks like it's going pear shaped we could always get ppl from the IM board...hehe *evil laugh*

oy! thats a 'kin good idea.. *wonders if im gonna get the Bassist thread over here" :p we have an great bassist forum here, so i think they would be intrested...

Yeah, it seems like the authority have decided for Hallowed (truly awsome song that is..)

SOTC is a bit extravagant for an amateur band, it is 11 minutes long...

No? My Band Plays Hallowed Be thy Name and Rime of the Ancient Mariner...

[Lord Abortion]

yeah we cut out most of the huge intro
and that is most of the set
we also play angel of death by slayer and a couple of cradle songs so it is a wide mix of stuff

[Lord Abortion]

oh please note I do NOT sing hallowed in a Dani filth style...

[ashman]

No? My Band Plays Hallowed Be thy Name and Rime of the Ancient Mariner...

In the old days of my band, my band members said that anything over 8 minutes would be boring for the crowd...and that's one of the "Artistic differences" we had. Anyway I was talking about the intro really, it would be bloody hard to get the chants in...

And Lord Abortion: I'm glad you don't sing like Dani Filth, we don't need anymore posion dwarfs on this planets :naughty:

[GurS]

my band cover;'s "bring your daughter"

[Arucard]

we play wicker man, two minutes too midnight and the trooper (only the MOR ones im afraid.)

[ashman]

Maiden have got 93 votes!!!

[Thunder Fingers]

[Josh]

well we've got a chance as long as ALL maiden fans vote for one song...when we vote, post and tell them all to vote hallowed otherwise we're ****ed

[ashman]

I think/hoping that Maiden fans will view HBTN as the better song...

[Josh]

yeh, me too....so far no votes for NOTB, hallowed is joint second

[Josh]

its slipped :upset: as long as it at least makes it through...

[ashman]

I think it's still second with like 3 other songs.

[Josh]

[ashman]

[ashman]

I might go to Glasgow, but I only have £300-400 to spend on seeing Maiden next year. And the trip to France is costing me £200+ :amaze:

[ashman]

I don't have any of his solo work, only heard Jerusalem, and that was a while ago. It seemed good.

[Josh]

ah ok. i may be getting the chemical wedding for christmas thats all.

[GurS]

Well, i didn't get Eddie's Archives for chanukah :(. I DID, however, get early days and an unofficial biogrpahy on dvd called 'legacy of the beast;

[ashman]

Did you have a good chanukah? Well at least you got some Maiden relateds stuff :thumb:

[Josh]

well it was maiden stuff :)

[Josh]

i'm guessing chanukah is the jewish christmas festival?

[Thunder Fingers]

Well, i didn't get Eddie's Archives for chanukah :(. I DID, however, get early days and an unofficial biogrpahy on dvd called 'legacy of the beast;

Legacy of the beast sucks... Its not even Maiden playing in the background.. its some stupid punk band.. with a little metal inbetween, and it didnt realy impress me...

[Josh]

well sleep time...see you all

[GurS]

well, it was free. what can i say.

[Thunder Fingers]

hehe.. well, guess im a little pissed off becouse i actualy payed money for it...

[YDload]

Wow, I have a lot of respect for you now ETT. I tried playing "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and my fingers were howling in pain! That is some crazy **** Steve's done; his two fingers must be strong enough to bend golf clubs or something.

Also, a notice: DO NOT get ringers from the Iron Maiden forums to sign up at MX just to vote for HBTN. Their votes will be thrown out and could get the song disqualified!

hehe, no, he went out in 82... since then it have been Bruce Dickinson(82 - 93) Blaze Baley(93 - 99) and Bruce Dickinson Again (99 - ??)

[ashman]

Dammit, we need one more vote for Maiden to win, and there is only 2 hours left...*intense*

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Right guys, since this is the other intelligent official band thread, I have no problem in knowing if i ask a question, it'll be answered intellignetly.

Right, I know for a fact that Iron Maiden have had at least oe single at #1 in England at Christmas, but what song/s was it and what year/s? It came up in a conversation the other day, and i remeber Bruce saying something about it at Donnington in 2003

[ashman]

I don't actually know, I thought the only No.1 was Bring you Daughter to the Slaughter, but I'll have a look and get back to you in a few minutes...

[Thunder Fingers]

Bring your daughter will be the answer thy are seeking.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

that sounds right, I recall him saying it jsut before they played it. Last part though, what year was it though?

[ashman]

Found this though, it's quite weird Lowest-Selling Number One
Lowest selling No.1 in total since at least 1960 is Busted's 2004 offering "Who's David" which just cleared 71,000 copies (though this may be undercut by Ja Rule et al, "Wonderful" - see below). Runner up is Kylie Minogue's "Slow" (2003) which has approximately matched the previous record set in 1991 by Iron Maiden's "Bring Your Daughter... To The Slaughter". The latter's first week sales were roughly 42,000, second week 29,000, with a further 30,000 or so in the next few weeks bringing it to a total of around 100,000.
