Payed money for what?

[Thunder Fingers]

Payed money for what?

"Legacy of the beast"

[ashman]

"Legacy of the beast"

Poor you...

[Thunder Fingers]

Poor you...

hey, its no good! its truly the most awful thing maiden ever have put their name on...

[ashman]

Well they didn't put their name on it...just some guy got a bit cocky and decided to make an UNOFFICIAL Biography. They always suck...


It is unofficial, right?

[Thunder Fingers]

yeah... and it sucks so much... they are playing punk in the background! :angry:

That is so shameful. I was thinking about buying it, but then I bought Visions of the Beast instead...

[GurS]

[ashman]

Learn how to play Anestesia.
That song is so boring, it's just reverse arpeggios and a bit of bendage...and plus we shouldn't mention the songs of the evils in this thread... :lol:

[Thunder Fingers]

Learn how to play Anestesia.

errh.. somthing a little more challenging? :p

i can play rime.. rime is harder than anesthesia...

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

Really....Cool. Well you got me stumped, I'm just a simple drummer.

[Arucard]

i voted maiden
were going to win it guys!

[Riva]

Wow! The Maiden thread is kicking. Looks like our recruiting drive helped greatly! :thumb:

[YDload]

Does anyone else think the guitar solos on "Hallowed Be Thy Name" (in the running for R&M's best song by the way!) sound like they're divided into three parts? I mean, it would make sense at this point in Maiden's career because they have three guitarists, but back when it was just Dave and Adrian, how did they divide up that three-part solo? It sounds very clearly like the two guitar parts overlap and "switch" leads twice.

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

Wait, Eddie, learn that 4 second bass solo in The Choson Ones by Megadeth.

[Arucard]

well they are very clever with the way they divide up solos, and sometimes do them at the same time.

[YDload]

Okay. The "switches" that I'm talking about happen at 5:08 and 5:16 on the studio version of the song, in case anyone's confused as to what I'm talking about.

maby dave-adrian-dave, and then different in other songs so they would get as much playing each? or maby one of then played 2(thoose two at the same length as the 1 the other played?)
i think it was just for an effect for the song...

(im an bassist, i dont know what the hell im talking about...)

[Riva]

I heard the part you were talking about, and it sounds as though they do switch parts, although the third guitar part seems to be just a fancy effect.

The switch sounds like it would have taken a bit of work, though.

[comptonassrobert]

umm, i think you can watch all of those videos on www.ironmaiden.com in the media section?
i think.
go for it, all great solos!

thanks! but there is no media section haha. and i was hopin to find something that could help me play them. and do any of you know a program that would allow me to play songs in slow-mo? cause that would probably help with the solos. :)

[Spirit_In_Black]

Well it is only two solos, I believe the 3rd bit that you are referring to is the Adrians Tapping. I Would listen to it to check it out, but I'm in college, and the evil IT techies don't like me :upset:

[ashman]

come on hallowed...

Bastards!!!

[ashman]

hey ive only just started getting into maiden and ive herd quite a few songs, what song would have the best guitar solo?

IMO The best is SSOASS, it beautiful brings tears to my eyes.

Best to watch is SOTC, watch it on RiR Dave does an excellent job.

Best to play is The Trooper, it's great, especially when you can get another guitarist in and both do the same solo a la RiR with Adrian and Janick :thumb:

[Lord Abortion]

we all know that hallowed is the greatest song
however many zep fanboys vote for them...
real sane people know that hallowed is simply the greatest song ever

[ashman]

Have you heard that some 'tallica fanboy are accusing us of stuff...Bastards

[Lord Abortion]

**** them all...
metallica suck compared to the might of maiden

[ashman]

Don't say that about Maiden...it will make me cry. Anyway I heard the guy was pissed off with Dimebag, I hope no one in Maiden pissed off anyone like that...

[DeathPromotionProject]

the best maiden stuff is in a brave new world. that album rocks the ****. blood brothers is my favourite maiden song, its an anthem that suits anything i do--- drinkin in the pub or chillin with a joint.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Don't say that about Maiden...it will make me cry. Anyway I heard the guy was pissed off with Dimebag, I hope no one in Maiden pissed off anyone like that...

From what i heard (and assume), it was due to the whole pantera break up fiasco.

i couldnt see anything like that happening to Maiden members, since I know of no one who has any kind of problem with them.

Plus we all know maiden members are practically immortal

Well except Clive Burr, poor guy...

[Thunder Fingers]

muuuuuh... that was so unfair! :( meh,it was just an poll, who cares? ;)

[ashman]

Well it was only one vote...

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I tried to help guys, i really did.

Well, see you all in the album polls

[GurS]

That hurt. that really, REALLY hurt.

[ashman]

That was WAY too close for comfort

[Thunder Fingers]

WHAT?! frail just passed by with out Voting?!

[ashman]

He didn't vote...I'm shocked and appalled at that.

[GurS]

:eek:

way to go, frail

[Arucard]

****ing hell how did we lose?!

[¯|¯€®®¥_bassist]

whats your fav Maiden album???? evry1 of them ROCKS!!!! and i mean it mine would prolly be -Brave New World....I'm Listenin 2 it now:D

[Riva]

Wow, I feel light headed just from hearing Dimebag Darrell is dead. I'd probably be incapacitated if Maiden ever lost a member in the same way. :upset:

And, I can't believe Maiden didn't win the best song poll.

I reckon Maiden has a good chance in the albums poll though... *rigs poll* :thumb:

[¯|¯€®®¥_bassist]

How could Maiden lose????God what r people thinking?????

[opeth_oasis]

they will wipe the floors in the album poll

[Lord Abortion]

we would have to decide an album between us on the thread with the authority
and other regs, joe, sackman, heavy, and myself so the vote doesn't get split again
if there was a best album poll

[ashman]

Well I'd vote for SSOASS, 'tis is my first and Favourite album ever :thumb:


But I don't think Gur likes it :upset:

[Lord Abortion]

It's so hard to choose
We can say it's NOT going to be
1.fear of the dark
2. virtual xi
3. x- factor
probably killers and no prayer too and I may say DOD too


we should set up a poll...

[ashman]

NPFD is one of Frails fave albums...

[Lord Abortion]

yeah I know, so that is why
we have to try and agree on one becouse I agree with you that seventh son is
if not their finest album then very nearly IMO but Gur doesn't
so we may have to find a way of choosing one that everyone loves

[ashman]

True, I think we may have to end up voting for NOTB, Piece of Mind, Powerslave or SiT...

[Lord Abortion]

what about BNW????
piece of mind, Just for still life...
but beast has hallowed !
and SiT has heaven can wait!
and powerslave has the rime!
ahhh it will drive me mad...

[ashman]

[Lord Abortion]

true, hmmmm...

[Thunder Fingers]

Powerslave is pretty much my all time Maiden favorite album... Some awsome bassin' going on there... TNOTB is realy one of my least favorite albums... it realy just have 2 - 3 songs that i love...

[Lord Abortion]

TNOTB only has one less great song on it
gangland
but other than that all are magnificent IMO
Isuppose I would vote for POM or SiT or TNOTB
hell it's hard though BNW or Seventh son or powerslave too

[GurS]

I like Seventh Son.

I'd vote either NOTB, Powerslave or BNW

[¯|¯€®®¥_bassist]

Dont forget Brave New World:D but then again dont 4get any of their albums they all r awesome:D

[Arucard]

killers of piece of mind IMO

[FE Maiden]

If there is something that pisses me off to no extent, it is when people say that Maiden is satanic and they worship the devil. Who else gets pissed when people say that? Of course it isnt true, they do have a dark side to some of their songs, but none of it is SATANIC! Maiden is, and forever shall be the best band. I favour them over all bands and they deserve it to. Theres something about every member that just makes it awesome.
BruceDickinson is a fencer as most of you must know, and a pilot as well. My dad knew someone who got to FENCE WITH BRUCE!
Steve Harris is the best song writter ive ever heard. (Most of their songs are written by him) Not to mention his skill with a bass guitar. He just makes it look so easy.
Dave Murray...well.... HE RULES! I love watching the DVD's and staring at his fingers as he moves up and down the fret board. I cant name many people who are better then him.
Adrain Smith is also an awesome guitarist. All is notes appear as if theyre going to tumble on top of eachother and make a big mess. But it never happens!
Nicko Mcbrain isnt the best drummer of all time, but he can definitely keep up a steady beat. He has awesome timing, Its funny to watch the videos of him. Hes almost constantly smiling. You may have noticed he has a wall of drums infront of him at most concerts. This is actually so he cant see the people in the audience! lol. Several years have gone by yet he still is nervous on stage. Hint: listen to still life on the album Peice of Mind and turn it up LOUD at the end. Nicko says something(but dont turn up too loud if family is nearby)
And finally, Janick Gers. Before he joined the band, they werent increadibly energetic on stage. Sure, they had some moving going, but after Janick joined, they all learned his high-energy style and it grew on them. Janick practically formed the style in which they portray on stage
well thats all i have to say for now, Maiden rules.
UP THE IRONS

[opeth_oasis]

Number of The Beast should win, its fantastic

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

Most people who have not heard Maiden think they are evil because of the T-shirts they see. Their loss though.

[FE Maiden]

Yes, exactly. Some people are afraid of me at school because of my Iron Maiden shirts :lol: . People just dont take time to open their eyes and see for themselves. Theyre too busy trying to be popular.

[opeth_oasis]

powerslave is good stuff

[EvErLaSt]

I like all maiden but i think i prefer thier newer stuff, BNW DoD i mean.
Although i love songs such as the clairvoyant and even older stuff like Iron Maiden!

If i was to vote for a greatest album, i think it would have to be BNW but others come very close!

[GurS]

i'd go either powerslave or bnw

[ashman]

Powerslave or BNW...

ok, Powerslave it is then! :D

No, because that makes no sense.

Anyway, let's all stop bickering on the differences of the top two R&M songs, and let's see what "Stairway to Heaven" and "Hallowed..." have in common:

- Both by British bands
- Both recorded more than twenty years ago
- Both have awesome guitar solos
- Both are over seven minutes long
- Neither one was released as a single

And here's something weird: Both songs have their titles as the last line in the song. Wow!

[supreme maidenite]

favourite album is powerslave and live after death

[ashman]

They are some good albums, have you heard any of the newer stuff?

[GurS]

hello all

[ashman]

Good evening good sir.

I juts realised that the Intro the "The Thin Line between love and hate" is dual vocals...

[GurS]

aye. a majority of the song is. tis a great song.

[ashman]

I only thought it was the chorus at first. It is indeed a great song, I love nearly everything about it :thumb:

[thelittledrummerboy]

It is a great song, i love the part at the end just after it slows down.

[GurS]

tis indeed good. 2nd best song on that album.

[Thunder Fingers]

*the thin liiiiiiiIIIIiiiiine between love and haaaaiaite*

I love that part! :D

[Riva]

As do I. Dickinson is the greatest. :D

[Lord Abortion]

*bump*
not so hot on the thin line personally good song but nothing special IMO
dream of mirrors, ghost of the navigator and title track top 3 on BNW for me...
intro to BNW = shivers down spine at the maiden gig
one of the best they played

[Riva]

I love the way Intro and Wicker Man blend in together on Rock In Rio. To me, that makes it all the more better than the studio version. :)

[Lord Abortion]

wicker man intro = amazing riff

Well I know joe, sack man, Lord Abortion and Gur live in the UK (like me), and it's about 3:30pm, so unless it was a good night last night, they should be awake.
i know this is a day late but i can only come on when im at school now because my parents have banned me from my home computer (AND NO IT WAS NOT FOR GOING ON PORNO)
i just thought i would say that lord abortion lives about 20 miles from me, we're both at the same school....
so whats happening about the best album thingy?

[Lord Abortion]

touche
also at the same school as shadow_stalker
and now I no longer have access to my home computer as I am not allowed to because my stepdad has a new computer and he doesn't want me virusing it up...
c'est la vie!

[Josh]

ah well
i'm allowed back on mine on saturday :thumb: not to play games but that doesnt matter as long as i can on on t'internet. also school internet it s'hit because it blocks games sites AND www.ironmaiden.com which is a pain in the arse.

[Lord Abortion]

It says "Blocked because of pornography"
why????

[The Great G]

dunno... always happens

[Lord Abortion]

dunno... always happens
huh?

[The Great G]

huh?
on my school internet they've blocked loads of stuff (E-BAy etc) claiming it's ****

[Lord Abortion]

yeah...

but they don't ban the COF site?
ahh I dunno...

[ashman]

Good afternoon all, well I just had my first uni exam. 3 hours of Pure maths, and it was quite easy... :thumb:

...so whats happening about the best album thingy?

I think we are going with either Powerslave or BNW. I frankly can't decided... :upset:

[Lord Abortion]

o.k
new topic...
best maiden vocal moment
when bruce or paul or blaze are at their best...
what tracks...

[Thunder Fingers]

Math.. *the horror* i feel bad for you...

as i have said many times before.. Powerslave...

dang.. Steel Dragon - we all die young is an fun song to play on Bass :p

[Lord Abortion]

hell I just got a C at GCSE in maths
That sucks and forgive me but why do maths at uni?

[ashman]

o.k
new topic...
best maiden vocal moment
when bruce or paul or blaze are at their best...
what tracks...

Hmm...Ok.

Paul: Either Killers, Prodigal Son or Purgatory (Pleeeeaaase take me awayyyy, so far AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY)

Bruce: Either Revealations, The Thin line between love and hate or King of Twilight

Blaze : Look for the truth.

Steve : Virus :p


Let's go with powerslave then for the albums.

[ashman]

hell I just got a C at GCSE in maths
That sucks and forgive me but why do maths at uni?

I'm in my first year my Physics with Astrophysics degree, and a lot of it is Maths. And I did actually get a C in my GCSE Maths too :thumb:

[Thunder Fingers]

Hmm...Ok.

Paul: Either Killers, Prodigal Son or Purgatory (Pleeeeaaase take me awayyyy, so far AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY)

Bruce: Either Revealations, The Thin line between love and hate or King of Twilight

Blaze : Look for the truth.

Steve : Virus :p


Let's go with powerslave then for the albums.

on Virus.. i actually think thats Blaze overdub...

Paul: Killers*chunp chump chump chump* "yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah YeeeeEeeEeEaaaaaah" *chump chump chump chump*

Blaze: Afraid to shoot strangers

Bruce: thats an hard one.. i guess i go with what everyone says, cause i cant decide myself... Infinite Dreams...

Steve: Phantom of the opera.. "dont you straaaaaaaaay"

[Lord Abortion]

um Bruce- aces high, where eagles dare, still life, revelations, hallowed be thy name and paschendale
Blaze- the edge of darkness, sign of the cross, blood on the world's hands or the aftermath, lord of the flies too
paul- purgatory, twilight zone, phantom of the opera, killers and strange world

[ashman]

on Virus.. i actually think thats Blaze overdub...

Don't destroy my dreams...

[Lord Abortion]

virus is balls...

[Thunder Fingers]

Don't destroy my dreams...

there is supposed to be an b-side where he sings pretty high.. never heard it myself though...

[Lord Abortion]

steve singing is cool
but is he better than H?

[rik]

steve singing is cool
but is he better than H?

In my opinion, singing is the one thing Steve isn't to cool at.

[Thunder Fingers]

steve singing is cool
but is he better than H?

Nop.. listen to reach out...

i was talkin about Blaze :p

[ashman]

H is probably the 3rd best singer Maiden have ever had. 4th is Nicko :p

[supreme maidenite]

steve harris is a music god - he wrote most of maidens best stuff

[ashman]

Steve is indeed a music god, he makes most musicians look like chimps with instruments.

[supreme maidenite]

everyone who i jam with think flea from chilli peppers is the best bassist ever but he jst does this slap thing, but steve harris i reckon is the best bassist by a long stretch - phantom of the opera and innocent exile have kick *** bass bits from steve (jst a few)

[Thunder Fingers]

Flea is good, hes one of few who actually doesnt play root notes..(everybodys yelling about the root notes, but everybody does it..)

But steve is my ultimate Bass God.. followed by Geddy Lee and Jari Kainulainen...

[Arucard]

very true. (geddy lee being joint with him.)

[Thunder Fingers]

very true. (geddy lee being joint with him.)

i hope you didnt mean geddy lee is joint with flea?

geddy lee outruns Flea on almost everypart.. exept slapping since geddy cant slap...

[Arucard]

i mean geddy is level with steve.

[GurS]

best bassist IMO is Les Claypool. There are plenty better bassists than Steve out there (Claypool, Stanly Clarke, BassMan Billy Evans) but Steve is the best rock/metal bassist.

[ashman]

But Steve rules...

[YDload]

Steve is probably the best "heavy metal" bassist; anyone more talented than him is usually a jazz/fusion or prog player.

[Riva]

Well, I do think Steve is one of the better bassists in Heavy Metal. For me, only Lemmy comes close to Steve.

Unfortunately, this doesn't include those bastard prog/jazz players :mad:

[GurS]

So, I finally got round to watching Early Days.

I don't like what davey does in "rainbow" on killers - i much prefer the harmonic slide.

Hence:

Maiden England Killers > Rainbow Killers

and Riva pwnz

[Riva]

Did you check your CP, Gurs? :)

Are you telling me you did all that early info without having watched the Early Days DVD? :eek:

[GurS]

Did you check your CP, Gurs? :)

Are you telling me you did all that early info without having watched the Early Days DVD? :eek:

Yes, and yes.

I knew all the info from when I first got into Maiden, I just read up what I could about Maiden and it all kinda got stuck there.

You know what's really good? 12 Wasted Years. I haven't seen the documentary on Early Days yet, so I don't know how similar it is, but 12 Wasted Years is **** fine.

[Riva]

Awesome. Now I have started my Amazon ordering days, I may just order some Maiden DVDs as well. :)

[GurS]

make sure to get maiden england, probably my favourite live gig.

[Riva]

Yes, I remember you shoving that into the Discography part, with an exclamation mark, I think. ;)

[GurS]

it's likely :)

[GurS]

out of interest riva, how many reps you got?

[Riva]

4177 rep points as of now. :)

Are you clear of the negatives yet?

[GurS]

considerably - +211 :)

Although, if i was enver given negs, i would be 380 odd

[Riva]

Awesome. Well, I'm heading off now.

Keep the Maideness alive! :D

[GurS]

Good morning world *bump*

[Riva]

Good afternoon GurS. Just got back from going out. :D

So, you went to sleep? :)

What does the last line of Phantom of The Opera say? The final line, after the long pause.

[icebase]

Something about the hole thing being pritty naff. not a good song really.

[Riva]

You don't like it? It is one of my favourite Maiden songs of all time. :)

[ashman]

POTO is one of the best Maiden songs, and it's ny far the best song at live at the Rainbow.

And Gur, Dave varies between the Harmonic and that thing he does :thumb:

[Josh]

POTO is definitely one of the best maiden songs. anyone seen / going to see phantom of the opera at the cinema? hope they used maiden for the title song...

[Riva]

I think they'll use the original Phantom Of The Opera song. :p

My mum went to see the actual opera down in Brisbane, and even bought the soundtrack. I have to admit I prefer the Maiden version much, much more. :D

[icebase]

I duno man its just one of those things i dont like. its like only one of about six maiden songs i dont like. K off topic what does everyone think about Nirvana's song You Know Your Right. Man i cant get it out of my head!!

[ollivubumssheep]

you know your right is crap. also maiden are crap.

[Josh]

^ you are a C U N T
maiden rule. also you know your right isnt too bad.

[icebase]

Get the hell out of here. You arnt needed. You either are a trendy :angry: or an idiot. I say both. :angry: I dont tolerate crap like you!

To ollivubumssheep

[Josh]

^very well said. rep'd ++

[icebase]

Thanks man. I mean it i really hate when people do that but i guess people have their own opinion and i guess they are entitled to it.

[Josh]

yeh but when people say maiden are crap i'll fight to the death

[icebase]

yeh but when people say maiden are crap i'll fight to the death


True so will I. Have done before but not to the death. :thumb:

[Thunder Fingers]

I like the list.

I remember I tried to join the Maiden Army many moons ago, but that was when I was a n00b... :upset:

[Thunder Fingers]

you did? hmmm.. i cant remember that... but ther is a year since last time the list was updated :p

[rik]

How would I qualify to be on the list? Although I don't post in here much, I've been listening to Maiden for over 3 years and I think I will continue to listen to them for the rest of my life.

[EvErLaSt]

I remember I tried to join the Maiden Army many moons ago, but that was when I was a n00b...

I'm a n00b, but a huge maiden fan! I'd like to join please Mr.

[ashman]

I'm a n00b, but a huge maiden fan! I'd like to join please Mr.

I think the 'Authority' should make an entry test for the Maiden army, like there was last year.

[supreme maidenite]

maiden army, count me in!!

[Arucard]

lol, maiden army tests? IM IN!

[ashman]

Erm...ok, first Question:

What was Iron Maidens First single, when was it released and what was the lineup?
