[GurS]

Iron Maiden was always called Iron Maiden. Steve was in two bands before Maiden, but they were never 'Maiden'.

[supreme maidenite]

[GurS]

and his three fave Maiden albums are piece of mind, SSOASS and X-factor
(which is criminally underrated and a magnificent album)
but his 3 fave non maiden ones are Recycled by Nektar, anything by Jethro Tull
and Foxtrot by Genesis

[Iron Turtle]

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

Dude your avatar is hilarious!! I give you rep++ for christmas Eddie!! BTW, anyone who says Maiden is crap aren't worth giving your life for. :)

[supreme maidenite]

how about nicko mcbrains influences to become a drummer (hint rock in rio)

[supreme maidenite]

if people say iron maiden are crap, if they werent around metallica wouldnt be here because lars says in the run to the hills that he went to maidens earlier stuff and it inspired him, metallica did a cover of run to the hills and remember tommorow at a live gig (cant remeber were)

[supreme maidenite]

*run to the hills biography

[Arucard]

[Lord Abortion]

*run to the hills biography

[Lord Abortion]

Sack- man keeps minus repping me...



bastard!

well i'm off to watch Teachers
see you

[YDload]

You know I'm in the army: I can play "The Number of the Beast" the whole way through on bass. That's gotta count for something, right?

Also, among the many new CDs I'll be getting for Christmas, one will be Maiden's self-titled album. I think I'll like it because A) It's Maiden, and B) "Phantom of the Opera."

[Riva]

Iron Maiden is one of my personal favourites. :D

I'm nearly there in my quest for all the studio albums :)

[MAthiAS]

Ah... I still need a few of their albums. Won't be getting them for Christmas unfortunately, though I did ask for the Rock in Rio DVD. I've got all the Bruce studio stuff except NPFTD and FOTD.

So, YDload and myself are like 4 star colonels? :p Since the Maiden Authority would be the Field Marshall and his two Generals.

[icebase]

[Riva]

Right, the ordering must go thus.

Eddie-The-Trooper: Field Marshall
Gurs, ashman: Generals
Any Four-Starrer, plus selected others: Colonels
The rest to be decided by the Maiden Authority.

[Permanent Solution]

/me enters

[Riva]

Why did you enter, Vince?

Wanna join the army?

[Permanent Solution]

I read this thread every so often but am too n00b to participate :-/

I could, but I would drag it down :p

[Riva]

Ah I see. Well, the Maiden thread is all about the knowledgable teaching the new, or is it GurS, ashman, and Eddie discussing a thing or two, while we try to figure out what is going on... :p

Yeah, I have a couple songs from most the albums to see what I'm getting next, and those were looking good along with Fear of the Dark.

[Lord Abortion]

get anything except virtual 11
It depends what you want from an album because maiden can do ANYTHING
last night i was listening to X-factor which is a much maligned album and I love it because it is so dark and spiteful and questioning of the world
which fit the context of 1994 perfectly...

[Thunder Fingers]

Yeah, I have a couple songs from most the albums to see what I'm getting next, and those were looking good along with Fear of the Dark.

Fear of the dark is an very good album, but its one of maidens few album that actually have some weaker, more boring songs(thats ofcourse my opinion, but most seems to agree with me.. like GurS here, he hates "the apparition"..)

i think SiT, SSOASS or POM would be an better choice..or like Lord said, BNW is also great.

[Lord Abortion]

POM simply for the incredible still life...

Virtual XI is not an bad album.. its only that the songs can become a little long sometimes..

Like Futureal and The Clansman are brilliant songs, the angel and the gambler could have been realy good if it had been the same length on the album as on the single..(i hate to follow the crowd, but 28 times "Dont you know im a saviour, dont you know i could save your life" becomes a little to much...)

Aye, BNW will be a late buy I think though since I already have Rock in Rio though, and that is almost all of BNW anyways :)

I like lightning strikes twice
blaze sounds scottish on that track

I agree. If it didn't sound like the CD was skipping everytime the chorus started, I may have enjoyed the album more. The Clansman is one of my favourites though.

[Myung+Petrucci=GOD]

I loved Virtial XI. COmo Estas Amigos great song!
Can';t wait for Maiden's new album in 2005!!!
UP THE IRONS!

Someone will have to be The Trooper, though.

And when we capture the enemy, someone will have to be The Prisoner.

And of course, if any escape, they will be The Fugitive. :)

[Josh]

well obviously i noticed that...blazes voice works better without power chords...i might buy X-Factor after christmas.

[EvErLaSt]

HAD pretty poor dress sense ;)

[Lord Abortion]

HAD pretty poor dress sense ;)
no, still piss poor
mind , i can't talk

[EvErLaSt]

I think his leather jackets and stuff look really cool recently, He still has some weird trousers though...

[Thunder Fingers]

I would love to have his Rock in rio trousers... not the ones he used ofcourse... and i dont think they are leather.. but the things that are hanging from them are... i dunno, i have never stdied them.. i only pass on information from other places.. :lol:

and.. rush is starting to close into maiden for me... i cant remember last time music made me feel the way rush's music do... :)

Anyone like Blaze's solo stuff?

silicon messiah is a great album IMO

[EvErLaSt]

I have never heard blaze's solo stuff, have heard bruces but not blaze's. Is it worth a listen/Worth buying?

[Lord Abortion]

yeah ghost in the machine is a great song

I rate bruce's solo stuff too
chemical wedding is brilliant

[Josh]

bruces solo stuff is good, never heard much of blazes...what ive heard is good. getting the chemical wedding (bruce) for christmas hopefully.

[Lord Abortion]

scream for me **Official** Iron Maiden thread...

[Josh]

colonel apparently...go back a couple of pages, its there somewhere

[Josh]

scream for me....
that sounds perverted so no i wont...if you said something like "scream for me brazil" it would be ok but just saying scream for me is gay.

[EvErLaSt]

If Brucie did add the "for Brazil" would that be gay? I think not :)

[Lord Abortion]

that sounds perverted so no i wont...if you said something like "scream for me brazil" it would be ok but just saying scream for me is gay.
piss off...

[Josh]

you dont know ollie (lord abortion) hes sitting right next to me now. he can act very gay at times.

[Josh]

but calling bruce "brucie" does sound quite camp...

[Thunder Fingers]

Hit him ollie! Hit him! :D :p

[Josh]

ouch you bastard

[EvErLaSt]

Yeah it does sound very camp :D But didnt someone already say i was gay?

[Lord Abortion]

I hit him
ha!
**not gay**

[Josh]

yes that would have been ollie that called you gay...he's very hypocritical

[Lord Abortion]

look this Is going nowhere
not jerry springer show
maiden thread let's be grown ups please...

[Thunder Fingers]

:lol: i realy dont care wether someone is gay or not.. aslong as they dont are gay against me.. :p

ok.. time to update the list...

[Josh]

good point. im glad this is last day of school. i wont see ollie for 2 whole weeks!!!

[EvErLaSt]

Well thsi is what happens when people have no decent subject to chat about...they accuse each other of being gay...apparently anyway

[Josh]

[Riva]

Yep, I'm getting myself a new Guitar this week. :cool:

(Budget of A$550/US$385/about 290 pounds, I think)

[Thunder Fingers]

But Jackson Guitars are pretty cheap for the time... the guitarist in My band found an Jackson Kelly and loved it, but he hadnt any money to get it.. but he also played it through a Mesa Boogie rig :p

[Riva]

Hehe, well, maybe I will save some more. Not only do the boys use Fenders, but so does Gilmour. :D

I can be a double fanboy. :p

[Thunder Fingers]

:lol: Yeah! You have to get it with Maple fretboard though.. I love Maple fretboard :D

[Riva]

Nice! Well, off to bed now. See you tomorrow, Eddie. :thumb:

[EvErLaSt]

I'm saving for a stratocaster at the moment!

[GurS]

I'm saving up for a maple or birch snare, undecided which yet.

Ah well.

Maiden! WOO!

[Josh]

dont play an instrument yet, will hopefully one day manage to save up for a bass. will then proceed to learn bass to a lot of maiden songs. :thumb:

[Arucard]

Saving up for an Gibson SG
/gets beaten.

I already like my drum kit anyways, Yamaha Stage Custom Advantage with two A custom crashes (16 + 17 dark crash), A Mastersound hats and an A ping ride.

[Thunder Fingers]

[Thunder Fingers]

Joe: Not Gibson man! not gibson.. :upset: they should get no support.. they slaughtered Trace Elliot...(me and 'arrys amp brand..:p)

I really don't like Zildjian cymbals. I have only ever heard one Zildjian cymbal I like: K Custom Dark Crash

I'm a Paiste/Sabian man myself (although idealy I will one day use only Paistes.)

Order of cymbals I need to replace on my kit:

Paiste 14" 200 Hihats for Paiste 15" Signature Sound Edge Hi Hats
Pearl 18" CX300 Crash/Ride for Paiste 18" Rude Crash/Ride
Sabian 20" Pro Rock Ride for Paiste 24" Dimensions Mega Power Bell Ride
Sabian 18" AAXplosion Crash for Paiste 18" Signature Crystal Crash.

After that, get a Paiste 20" Signature Heavy China, 20" Signature Full Crash, 17" Signature Fast Crash, 14" Signature Thin China, 13" Dimensons Meat Crunch Hi-Hats, 20" Rude Ride/crash and 20" Signature Power Crash


here's hoping :chug:

[Thunder Fingers]

^he use paiste cymbals.. wich they dont pay him enough money..

[supreme maidenite]

zildjian cymbals are pretty expensive i reckon
i agree with GurS i like paiste and sabian

[ashman]

I'm saving up for a Ibanez DT200, it's one sweet guitar

[ashman]

I was just wondering, what type of Fender does Maiden use, Mexican or American? Or do they get a custom jobby?

[btoto]

A Question !
-------------

Hey Maiden fans, I need your help. Does anyone know the real reason of Clive leaving the band??? I like his drumming much more than Nicko's, especially in Transylvania (no offence to GurS :thumb: )

[GurS]

In Rock in Rio, H says "If you party non stop for five months, you'll be dead". That's what Burr did. He went out and partied everynight on the beast on the road tour, and supposedly he even played one gig with a bucket next to the snare coz he kept throwing up. It had such an effect on him that he and the band wisely split ways - he had no control over himself and if he would have stayed in maiden he would have gone the way of Kieth Moon.

And while I feel that Nicko IS the better drummer, clive came up with more inventive drum beats, that I can't argue.

[The Mercenary]

^ It would have been good to hear Clives drumming with the level and quality of production on the DoD album, but i must say, i prefer Nickos drumming

[Thunder Fingers]

^ It would have been good to hear Clives drumming with the level and quality of production on the DoD album, but i must say, i prefer Nickos drumming

Quality of DoD production.. to me its sounds compressed.. not like one guitar to the left, one in the middle, one on the right, the drums in the middle below the guitar and the bass above the middle guitar.. it sounds like all is just crashed into one place at the same volume...

[The Mercenary]

^ i know what you mean, it does sound a little overdone, but i think what i meant (and should have) said was id like to have heard clives drumming recorded at this quality....

[supreme maidenite]

And while I feel that Nicko IS the better drummer, clive came up with more inventive drum beats, that I can't argue.

i agree......anyway clives struck down with MS now isnt he

[Josh]

a lot of clives drumming is much more technical, but nicko's bass triplets in out of the silent planet own.

[supreme maidenite]

nicko is really fast on his bass drum, one of few metal drummers using a single pedal/bass drum

[RideTheTiger]

Transylvania is the best song ever!

[supreme maidenite]

Hmmmmmm....i like phantom of the opera on the beast over hammersmith album best

[Josh]

i disagree with transylvania being best song ever. POTO is far better.
Eddie: i agree with you about the production quality on DoD squashing all the sound together, but its still one amazing album.

[Lateralias]

Phantom of the Opera is a superb song, so much fun to play on guitar.

[Thunder Fingers]

my favorite Maiden songs to play on Bass: Phantom and Rime.. they are purely AWSOME songs.. and great fun to play...,...(wow...dejavu...)

[Josh]

when i get round to getting a bass what maiden song should i learn first?

[Josh]

going to work, post tomorrow sometime. bye all.

[ashman]

when i get round to getting a bass what maiden song should i learn first?

Great songs to play on Bass are: Revealations, The Trooper, Run To The Hills, POTO (Triplets are a bugger), Flight of Icarus, Infinite Dreams and Heaven Can Wait.

Heaven Can Wait was the first song I learned on Bass, it's really easy, 'cept for the solo bit...

[supreme maidenite]

phantom of the opera is fun to play on drums......and so is aces high

[IheartSP]

im writing a song in guitar pro is has a maiden feel to it, i think its pretty cool.

Ill send anyone the midi if they want to hear.

btw maiden rules! I also find it hilarious how bad the singing is on Children of Bodoms maiden covers, but the instruments are still good (I love their solo on Aces High)

[supreme maidenite]

when my band play aces high i think it sounds good on the bass

[ashman]

All Maiden Bass is good :thumb:

Hehe, thanks ! So it was mostly because of his drinking problem. Too bad, I think Clive was the man. I can't stop listening to early Maiden. He's got so much of drive. Yes, if he stayed, we wouldn't have Nicko today. I admit, Nicko is a fantastic drummer. I'm no drummer so I simply can't say which one of them is more technical, but I'll never agree that Nicko ever had so much of drive and energy in his playing as Clive did. :thumb:

Anyway, we've got Nicko. And he's the best drummer to fit Maiden :wave:

[ashman]

I don't think you can really compare Clive to Nicko. They have different sounds.

[Thunder Fingers]

All Maiden Bass is good :thumb:

'kin yeah! :thumb:

i never knew you was an bassist.. i thought you played guitar...

[ashman]

'kin yeah! :thumb:

i never knew you was an bassist.. i thought you played guitar...

I do dabble in the Black art that is known as Bass... :lol:

I've been playing Bass for about a year and a half. I mainly play Guitar, but Bass is starting to be my true love. Infinite dreams is my favourite by far. :thumb:

[IheartSP]

i bought rock in rio just half an hour ago, but i dont think im going to watch it till christmas break

[btoto]

By the way, I was just curious, are all maiden members pure english??? or some of them are scottish, irish or someone else??? :thumb:

[ashman]

I can't remember, I think so. I think Janick has some other stuff in there somehere.

[btoto]

^ah yea, I think he has Polish roots or something like that

[ashman]

^ah yea, I think he has Polish roots or something like that

I can't actually find anything about it, been searching for about 30 minutes and nothing. I know Steve is 100% British and so is H.

[ashman]

I just found out that the FOTD Album cover was done by another guy instead of Derek Riggs... :O

[ashman]

*Bump'd*

Where is everyone nowadays?

[Josh]

janicks parents were immigrants to the UK after WWII i think. janick grew up about 35 miles from me apparently, in wallsend (newcastle)

nowadays im sitting around at home doing absoloutley nothing, as its school holidays. although in 2 weeks i can start having driving lessons :thumb:

[GurS]

driving, eh? fun. i got my provisional but haven't been bothered to find a teacher yet
