[ashman]

Did anyone hear about what Nicko said a few months ago? He said that after this tour they might start recording a new album...

[AB/CD]

might being the main word in that sentence

[GurS]

I heard taht.

[airborne50caliber]

maiden are far from finished. if not after the tour, soon.

[supreme maidenite]

a new album would be cool.......................

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

hey gang...sorry for my month long absence, i will be returing shortley :)

[ashman]

hey gang...sorry for my month long absence, i will be returing shortley :)

We missed you oh wise one *bows*

[ashman]

might being the main word in that sentence

But since they won't be touring as much, they won't be as busy as they used to be.

[GurS]

tru say ash


tru say

[The Fonz]

i just got into Maiden.. but they are awsome.... what are some of their songs?... ive heard( and like)... powerslave... Trooper. The # of teh beast and run to the hills... as well as others

good songs* sorry :D

[Josh]

well a lots happened since i posted in lunch break. lol. yeh a new album would be awesome. would be next year though wouldnt it? what with them touring this year, even though its a small tour theyll need a bit of a break, as they are 25 years older than when they started (well steve and davey anyway)
ah well a new album would be worth waiting 2 years for...i hope

[GurS]

Didn't nicko say back end of 2006?

[Josh]

yeh i heard something about that, although a havnt read / listened to any interviews

[GurS]

I read the one

[Josh]

well thats not really too long to wait for an album...i'll keep collecting the others in between.

[GurS]

good man

[Josh]

gonna cost a fortune though, cos i want them all genuine, and only have 6 already.

[GurS]

i have ALL original except three - S/T, BNW + Edward the great.

Ebay is your friend, sack, Ebay is your friend.

[Lord Abortion]

It would be worth waiting to the end of time itself for a new maiden album

and what is happening with Frail???
he keeps popping up and vanishing as mysteriously as he came...

is he in heaven?
is he in hell?
that ****ed elusive Frail?

[Riva]

I thought it would be begginning 2006. Hopefully, though if they want to take their time, and make it really good, then they should go for it! :thumb:

[acefrehleyjendell]

I kinda hope they go back to the Iron Maiden/Killers style with their new
album. I and they better tour OZ lol.

[Lord Abortion]

hmmm...
I hope solo projects don't have a detrimental effect

[Grey Incision]

i just got asked today to play Iron maiden-aces high for my band

and i'd never heard it before, i heard it, was dumbfounded, and started tabbing, and it is one freakin fun song to play

[icebase]

I know this prob is not the place to say it but i just got a 3.4Ghz processor. It's a new one. One feature of it is that there are no pins on the bottom of it. But i got a new motherboard too and it has onboard graphics which are pritty good just for an extra ten quid. It is 256mb and a load of other stuff. So who else has a super-bitch-hypo-machine around here. Just lookin to know.

Oh yea my so called friend last night broke!!!! my signed NOTB album. I killed him. :angry: :upset:

did you burn his soul too?

[Lord Abortion]

my band plays hallowed be thy name snd sign of the cross
we will play the trooper when my guitarist can play the intro and recovers from D.V.T
and play still life
for those who are interested
we also play some cradle stuff and some Iced earth and some slayer too
hoping to play funeral fog and freezing moon by mayhem too
and I am learning to sing with strength I burn by Emperor too
so quite a mix there...

[Riva]

I would have trapped his soul for all time, tormenting him in the hot coals of infernity!

[Lord Abortion]

[Lord Abortion]

Just for you to get a picture of how sore it is i got shot with one once and it took a chunk of my arm off. It skimed me and ir was sore. So he's FUKED :thumb:

Fear of the Dark not going so well in the best album poll....

[Thunder Fingers]

Fear of the Dark not going so well in the best album poll....

well..its not maidens best album....

[rik]

well..its not maidens best album....
Still beats most the albums its up against.

[Thunder Fingers]

Still beats most the albums its up against.

i know.. it got my vote...

[zinner zero]

i dontt think dance of death was like a great albums if you have heard their before ones

[hypocracy hater]

Fear of the Dark is really growing on me. I think that Be Quick or Be Dead is a **** way to start the album but there are some really great songs, Afraid to shoot strangers, childhoods end, judas my guide, all BRILLIANT

[Bartender]

Greetings. I've never posted in here, and I'm not entirely sure why. So if nothing else, this is a post to keep track of the thread.

[Arucard]

I voted Zeppelin, because i thought Fear Of The Dark is slightly weak...

[GurS]

well..its not maidens best album....



pffff. understatement.




Still, you gotta hand it to blaze - rhyming "nations defence" with "birthday presents"? GENIUS! :rolleyes:

In other news, X-Factor is really starting to grow on me. I didn't like it in the beginning, but there are some "banging 'choons'" on there.

[Josh]

i like be quick or be dead. the only incredibly bad song on the album IMO is the apparition. although fear is the key can get annoying. ah well, up the irons!
\m/ *_* \m/

[Josh]

wow anyone who hasnt heard the children of bodom covers of the trooper and aces high now. i didnt actually think that aces high could get any faster but it did!

[Thunder Fingers]

pffff. understatement.

well, it sounded right didnt it?!

[GurS]

yeh, but still.....

why did you take maiden authority out your name?


TRAITOR

or something.

[jaymz_is_god]

I'm just getting into Iron Maiden. Just thought I'd post on here for the sake of it. My favourite album has got to be Powerslave :thumb:

[Arucard]

And there so much better than metallica. Good job.

[Thunder Fingers]

yeh, but still.....

why did you take maiden authority out your name?


TRAITOR

or something.

im under cover... :thumb:

Greetings. I've never posted in here, and I'm not entirely sure why. So if nothing else, this is a post to keep track of the thread.

And then the mod had to come along and spoil our fun. :p

[GurS]

undercover, eh? fancy.

Riva, can't believe the way you decided to do the poll - Fear of the Dark but now BNW? :(


Guess the thread is lending it's weight to "Powerslave", then.

[Lord Abortion]

In other news, X-Factor is really starting to grow on me. I didn't like it in the beginning, but there are some "banging 'choons'" on there.
yeah as you well know I love it there are so many classic tracks
all the album except man on the edge I love
It's too radio friendly to fit in with the rest of the album's theme...
x-factor could almost be a concept album :thumb:

[GurS]

I read a theory that Killers is a concept album. I can kinda see where they are coming from.

[ashman]

There does seem to be a loose theme on Killers, but Killers was rushed so it could be an unintentional concept.

God I was away for one day and we are nearly at page 200...'tis chaos I tell thee

[Josh]

lol. i hate it when i dont check forums for a while, then spend 10 minutes reading through trying to catch up.
still waiting for UK tour dates.

[Thunder Fingers]

its madness.. ash.. its madness....


IM GONNA GET AN GEDDY!!! :D

[GurS]

yeh, just about everysong on killers seems to be about muder or death.

[Josh]

except the instrumentals.

[ashman]

Well, they do. Genghis Khan was a Barbarian, killed everyone. Ides of March: some roman guy said beware the ides of march and then he got killed...summat like that anyway...

[GurS]

julius ceaser was told to be wary of the ides of march. he ignored the advice. and got stabbed.

[Josh]

yeh i spose...i hadnt really thought about it that much, was just going on lyrics.

[FFbassist26]

so whose got dance of death?

[Josh]

my maiden collection:
dance of death
edward the great
rock in rio (cd)
brave new world
fear of the dark
powerslave
iron maiden
^all genuine
copies: Seventh son of a seventh son
number of the beast
killers
somewhere in time
piece of mind

are we going through this again?! :upset:

[Josh]

might as well, i dont have anything else to do. kind of sad as its my 17th birthday today.

[ashman]

What about Wrathchild? I don't think that's about murder or death...

[Josh]

"i was born into a scene of angriness and greed" is the only part that really qualifies...

cheers for reppage ash, i cant rep you back cos i gave you some the other day.

[GurS]

hence most. wrathchild is the only realexception.

[GurS]

I can't rep anyone anymore :(

[ashman]

I can't rep anyone anymore :(

Why can't you Rep anymore? <==Shock

Sack-man: 'Tis ok, we are Maiden buddies :thumb:

[Josh]

lol ok. yeh GurS why cant you rep anyone any more? as in the function has been removed or you've just given out too much rep?

[Josh]

well im off, see you all.

[Thunder Fingers]

happy birthday then sacky... i cant rep you... i have to spread alittle...

[Deterium216]

Is anyone looking at this now, or am I the lone Maiden fan awake now? But anyway, enough of Dance of Death, it starts kikin but at the end it just gets evil. Whats up with BNW, though? I really liked that one, it had some kikass stuff, but now I only hear about the eighties stuff and Dance of Death. Are all the other albums just rotting?

[AB/CD]

brave new world was good apart from the wickerman realy iritates me now but i do enjoy playing it on bass

[MAthiAS]

Brave New World > Dance of Death

Both have some killer songs though. Ghost of the Navigator, Blood Brothers, Wicker Man, Nomad, Fallen Angel, Paschendale, Dance of Death, No More Lies, Rainmaker, someone stop me.

and the 80s stuff is just classic and quite obviously their best... the Blaze albums... I don't have so I can't say really.

[AB/CD]

problem with maiden now is too many wannabes no who they r and only no the most famous songs being run to the hills nubmer of the beast rime of the ancient ****ing mariner the trooper fear of the dark and the wickerman non of them actually listen to any of diannos stuff which is some of their best id say

[opeth_oasis]

Anyone know where to get Ed Hunter, i'm desperate for it lol. BTW i never used to like Janick Gers, till i saw him live, hes my fav maiden guitarist now, he plays wit such energy and enthusiasm, not to mention bloody talented. UP JANICK :thumb:

[AB/CD]

they r all equal they wouldnt be in th band if they werent good ya no but sure doesnt make a difference whose the best guitaistas lng as they make good music

[opeth_oasis]

i said Janick was my favourite, im not saying hes the best. They could all be the lead if they wanted too, pretty much equal talent. And btw i cant understand half of what u just sed, check ur writing buddy:thumb:

[Maidenfreak6]

i hope maiden comes up with another album that' ll be cool :D

[Maidenfreak6]

anybody play iron maiden songs here if you do email me

[Thunder Fingers]

That Rime is one of Maidens most famous songs is new to me....

[opeth_oasis]

yeah it aint famous, good song but

[hypocracy hater]

That Rime is one of Maidens most famous songs is new to me....

I agree, tit-headed people who only like a few song don't have the samina to listen to ROTAM, I love it, specially live.

[GurS]

tru say


i just have given out too much :upset:

and they're not all equal, while H is my favourite, there is no denying that Davey's the best guitarist of the three.

[FateMercyfulFate]

my favourite guitarist from maiden is Janick. i disagree with diannos stuff being the best, i cant say i was actually a fan of dianno when i heard there old stuff. i undoubtly prefer Bruce...and my fav maiden song would have to eb Aces high, thats such a legendary song.

the best guitarist is Dave. but it's close. maiden arnt my favourtie band, nor do i think they are the best. they are a fantastic band none-the-less

[ForiegnPenguin]

Am I the only person who thinks Virtual XI is better that No Prayer For the Dying?

[Thunder Fingers]

Am I the only person who thinks Virtual XI is better that No Prayer For the Dying?

yes...

[ForiegnPenguin]

Fooey! Its not that I don't like NPFTD, I just like Virtual XI alot.

[ashman]

VXI isn't without it's charm, but NPFD has Mother Russia, NPFD, Tailgunner, Holy Smoke and Public Enema number one. While on VXIs only good songs are Futureal, Clansmen and Como Estais amigos...

[chuckles the silly piggy]

This might have been asked before but im new to the thread, and im not going to read all 195 pages so, why has steve stopped using his fingers and started playing with a plec

[AB/CD]

dont htink he has ive got pictured of him up close from dance of death tour using his fingers

[paco999]

Dance of Death is such a good cd i like every song in it.

But i do hope they come out with something new. But i dont think its gonna top DOD

[Arucard]

guess what.

I JUST GOT TICKETS TO SEE MAIDEN IN ****ING PARIS! IM TRAVELLING ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SEA TO SEE THEM! YES, ****ING HELL YES!

Yeah Dave probably is the best, i made a stupid statement saying they are all equal in talent, they aren't too far apart but. H meaning Steve Harris right??

[ForiegnPenguin]

[willis2441]

ive never heard iron maiden, but the covers of their albums make me think that their total badasses. and it makes me want my mommy.

[thelittledrummerboy]

people have a weired stereo typed perception that maiden are like every other metal band in which their singer just screems and the music is head splitting. i have a tough time explaining to people that they are such a unique band.

[Arucard]

where the **** did you get that from?! :lol:

last time he was seen playing he used fingers... what, have you seeen him with an plec? in that case, i think that would be his way of playing powerchords of bass... go see the Afraid to shoot strangers video...

[hypocracy hater]

Lying awake at night i wipe the sweat from my brow,
but its not the fear, coz id rather go now......

nope.

H = adrian smith.

why?

simple

Adrian = H-rian. say it out loud. geddit?

[hypocracy hater]

Eddie was originally a mask called eddie the 'ead.

[rik]

Eddie was originally a mask called eddie the 'ead.
Yer, I just read about that in the biography.

[Thunder Fingers]

wasnt it 'Ed the 'ead?

[hypocracy hater]

maybe

:upset:

[Arucard]

I cant wait till Paris.






















Suckers.

[Josh]

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
dont annoy me. im tired and grumpy.
still no UK tour dates. bastards.

this year is also the 25th anniversary of maiden's self titled album.

:chug: :thumb: :chug:

[rik]

Steve also once decided on bringing a keybordist in. I think it lasted one gig.

[Josh]

bloody hell thanks whoever rep'd ++ me yesterday i now have 614 rep points!!! wow!

[Josh]

Steve also once decided on bringing a keybordist in. I think it lasted one gig.
theres keyboards on rock in rio. read the credits in the insert.

[GurS]

I knew that

*has never read biography*

[GurS]

theres keyboards on rock in rio. read the credits in the insert.
yeh, but the 'boardist isn't an acknowledged member of the band, now, is he.

[Stevie]

There was a keyboardist for a short while, but it didn't last very long. Back in the very early days. Then again, Somewhere in Time has keyboards, as well as Brave New World as said.

[Thunder Fingers]

yeh, but the 'boardist isn't an acknowledged member of the band, now, is he.

in studio, Steve does the keys, live, steves Roadie does them Michael Kenny i belive he is called... or somthing like that :p

[Stevie]

Micheal Kenney officially did the keyboards :).

[Lord Abortion]

NOTB charts at no 3 here in England

and so I will add my input into the last two pages I missed because I was at work...
1. Blaze's best album is x-factor
2. I don't like NPFTD much but I do like tailgunner and the assassin.
3. yes micheal Keany, nicknamed the count for his dracula-like cloak onstage, played live keyboards for maiden
4. you lucky bastard Joe...

[Lord Abortion]

ta muchly/\

[ashman]

How come Maiden can only seem to reach number 3 nowadays?

[Lord Abortion]

**** british public makes me feel ashamed...

/listens to the trooper
/feels more patriotic

because there are more people buying **** music than god music
(yes I missed out the second o intentionally)

[ashman]

Maiden is indeed God music....:thumb:

I can't believe that Elvis is Number one, 'tis shameful...

[Lord Abortion]

yep dead god knows how long and he has had two number ones post- mortem now...

[ashman]

Yeah I know, it's like his trillionth post humourus number one...


Maiden > Elvis <==FACT

[Arucard]

Im gonna have to agree with ash. Can i play with madness > All.

[hypocracy hater]

no everyone knows its

Fear of the Dark > All

[ashman]

Fear of the Dark (live) > Fear of the Dark

[Riva]

Fear Of The Dark (Rock In Rio) > Fear Of The Dark (anywhere else live)

[GurS]

actually All other Maiden songs > the apparition.

[Riva]

I like the Apparition :upset:

[GurS]

that's coz you suck :p

lies! jokes really.

No wonder you let FOTD through.

[RNR]

Does anyone else thing that Aces High is just a bit overrated by people who aren't heavily into Maiden?

[GurS]

No. Aces High > 2 Minutes. Now THAT is a song overrated by non-maiden obssessives.

[RNR]

Yes well, they both are.

[ForiegnPenguin]

That and NOTB as a whole. Its great but not their best by far.

[Riva]

that's coz you suck :p

lies! jokes really.

No wonder you let FOTD through.

:eek: My secret is out!

[Thunder Fingers]

:eek:

[Jawaharal]

fear of the dark in rock at rio is best maiden song. Its so cool when the crowd starts singing with harris.

[opeth_oasis]

What would you say was the hardest Maiden solo to play? It doesnt sound very hard, but the beginning of Janicks solo in Holy Smoke took me ages to get.

[Iron Turtle]

Why does Maiden not play in the states? I think their last tour they played like, 2 dates here. One in New York and one in LA. What the hell? They need to get on Ozzfest. It would be great to see Maiden, Priest and Ozz. That's like the holy trinity of heavy metal.

[Lord Abortion]

hallowed be thy name > all

[ArcLite]

Aces High > Hallowed be Thy Name






(IMO)

[Lord Abortion]

no no no no...
athough aces is great it goes
hallowed be thy name
sign of the cross
still life
the trooper

[ArcLite]

It is easily argueable, but I like it mainly for the main guitar riff. One of my favorite riffs ever. But it's hard to pick a #1 with such a band.

[Arucard]

Hallowed is maidens best live song. And im seeing them live.
HAHAHA!

[icebase]

Someone bitch slap me i haven listened to maiden in days. Im listening to nirvana or stuff like that. And greenday. But i think all is well caus im listening to the trooper.Anyway whats up guys? Can we find a way to get maiden to play a little privite concert for us just like privite dances from strippers on they maiden dont strip they just sing and stuff. Please tell me if this makes any sence? :confused:

[ashman]

Best Live song = Most Maiden Live songs...

I just got my results for my uni results...about 80%, ash is teh geek

[Josh]

said well man. This is what the Iron maiden army is for.
i edited it (removed vast numbers of swearwords), cos i reported that gimp to the mods and i dont want banning. anyway i didnt sign up to maiden army.

[Lord Abortion]

yeah the maiden army don't take kindly to folks that don't like Iron maiden 'round these parts...

[Arucard]

i havent been listening much to maiden lately either... i have been completely caught up in Rush...

Exeptable loss my friend, Rush are the best. Have you seen them live? They truly rock.

[Lord Abortion]

not really heard much rush...
any reccomendations?

[Arucard]

Spirit of Radio, Limelight and 2112 (2112 is epic, 21 minutes long i belive) are good starters. Passage to Bankok too.

[Lord Abortion]

cheers +reppage

Who, there has never been a Paul D'anno in Maiden. A Di'anno yes.
D'anno no.

[EdwardTheGreat]

Paul Di'Anno was the worst singer. I'm not saying he was a bad singer, but he was the worst. He was too punky for a heavy metal band. Bruce is best, then Blaze, then Di'Anno. Anyone agree?

[btoto]

^No I disagree ! For me Paul was their best singer and Clive was their best drummer ! And their first two albums zwn all of the rest albums.

Heavy Metal is the attitude of punk, with the energy of hard rock.

I do not agree at all, Blaze was easily their worst singer, I can't decide out of Bruce and Paul, it depends what mood i'm in.

[jolle]

I don´t know why but a few years ago I was almost obbsessed with Iron maiden. These days I don´t like´em at all. More into metallica and dream theater now. I´m not saying that they´re a bad band. Just that I hate them now. Only good song is
"Aces High"

[Access Excess]

First time I heard Iron Maiden was while playing Carmageddon. :D Though I've only come to realise it was them last year. I just loved listening to Man On The Edge and I still do. Other Maiden songs I like are Aces High, Be Quick Or Be Dead, 2 Minutes To Midnight and 2 A.M.

P.S.: Steve Harris is the man! :D

Blashpemer! If you say you were 'obsessed' with them, i think your faveroutie song now would be something other than 'Aces High.'

:rolleyes:

[Thunder Fingers]

Exeptable loss my friend, Rush are the best. Have you seen them live? They truly rock.

I have seen "Rush in rio" yes.. but never seen them live, and probaly never will :( aint they sooon to be in their 60's? whats the chance of them going to norway... :upset:
anyway, Rush in Rrio are awsome...

Rush is awsome....

Geddy Lee is awsome..

that is why i have An Fender Geddy Lee Jazz bass coming in the post.. hope i gets it to the gig next week...

[Arucard]

Btw its joe. They are awesome live, i saw em only a few months ago, they will tour agen!

[brooksy1986]

basically i was brought up on Maiden and i feel as a former fan that musically they aint progressed in the same way that Pantera or Machinehead have/did. And Bruce's voice in just embarrasing, that said Paul Di'anno had a very good Bon Scott vocal thing goin on. I just think they released 4 superb albums but should give it a rest.
Best songs are : Transylvannia, Number of The Beast, The Trooper, Iron Maiden and rime of the ancient mariner(?). Just sayin they had there day and now they just churn out the same stuff.

[ashman]

Btw its joe. They are awesome live, i saw em only a few months ago, they will tour agen!

How did you get banned?

[Arucard]

Agreeing with someone who flamed a noob. And brooksy, how can you say maiden chrun out the same stuff when you use Pantera and Machinehead as examples, they both sound/ed the same through out there career! And your not a hardcore fan if you think those (all of the most mainstream songs, expect mariner, which you could have just picked of the last page). Re-evaluate them by listening to stuff like Revelations,
The Prisoner, Hallowed Be Thy Name, Murders In The Rue Morgue and similar songs.

Nicko is better than Clive ever was.

[AB/CD]

Paul Di'anno had a very good Bon Scott vocal thing goin

what r u on about a bon scott vocal thing paul dianno had a much deeper voice than bon scott dianno couldnt hit note as hgih as bon could

[Riva]

Deep voice doesn't equal limited vocal range. I know plenty of baritones who can sing falsetto, (heck I'm one of them). Paul DiAnno could hit the high notes as well as anyone, including Bon Scott (who didn't really hit that many high notes at all, just tenor/alto ones).

[YDload]

Here's a new topic for discussion: What Maiden songs have you noticed that sound like other bands' songs?

I think the verse in "Flight of Icarus" sounds a lot like Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song."

[Thunder Fingers]

the trooper = Black Sabbath - paranoid...

[MAthiAS]

I don't know about other bands' songs, but The Clansmen sounds like an elaboration of Dance of Death (the bass riff)... actually, because of time, I suppose DoD would sound like a simplification of The Clansmen.

Oh yeah, South of Heaven sounds like Seasons of the Abyss, not that thats really relevant.

[thelittledrummerboy]

The solo in "the fallen angel" sounds a little similar to some of the things that ozzy osbourne/zack wylde usually do.

[KingOfSka]

What does everyone think of the "No More Lies" video

[Thunder Fingers]

im sorry guys.. im so sorry... :cries: *goes hiding* if you want to deauthoritirize.. go a hed...

[rik]

im sorry guys.. im so sorry... :cries: *goes hiding* if you want to deauthoritirize.. go a hed...
Haha.....well I am beginning to believe more in that "Geddy-the-trooper" comment I heard someone say :p . Nothing will take away my vote for Maiden though.

[Josh]

Nicko is better than Clive ever was.
that be very true. anyway we've been through this before.

just voted powerslave

\m/ *_* \m/

[supreme maidenite]

What does everyone think of the "No More Lies" video

i like the live video - when bruce climbs the framework i thought he was gonna jump off it, he didnt though.....nicko smiling into the camera with no eye hand co-ordination coz hes that good.......good song aswell

[AB/CD]

i havnt seen it yet would like to tho

[Josh]

its a good video. do you have broadband? because if you do:
http://www.ironmaiden.com/homepage.php?section=0&subsection=0
and right-click the link to the video, so you can save it.

[GurS]

:eek:

page 200, guys!

[Josh]

wow. only 466 to go til the big 1. lol. i think when i first started posting here we were at about 120 or so, but i'm not sure.

[GurS]

I started posting around 40-ish

[Lord Abortion]

well, cover me in eggs and flour and bake me for 40 minutes...
page 200,eh?
anyhow, enough stealing lines from blackadder,
Blaze is a much better singer than Paul and, crucially, in his own solo career, frontman
he realy wasn't that good a maiden live performer from what I have seen but remember this is a man who's only tour experience before 7 month long tours with maiden was 3 weeks round the U.K with wolfsbane...
we really shouldn't judge a great vocallist on his two maiden tours, or on V11 instead listen to his incredible vocals on x-factor and agree with me...

[Arucard]

Yes, but the crucial thing with Blaize is that he really didnt pull Maiden together like Bruce did when D'ianno left. He could have been alot better than he was.

[Lord Abortion]

he was more than a little overawed at joining such a massive band and I feel so sorry for him as he did nothing to warrant his leaving
he was really unlucky that bruce wanted to come back and he was out of the band like that... he took it so graciously and just accepted it like a man ...
which is admirable and why I defend him so much...

[ForiegnPenguin]

Yeah, he was a great singer too. After much thought, voted Powerslave.

[acefrehleyjendell]

i got Virtual XI yesterday and i really enjoy it alot.
i think futureal is probably the worst song on it though.

[opeth_oasis]

I had different views on this album. its probably their worst album, with Futureal being the best song on the album. What do you guys think of the song Virus? I don't think it is up to Maiden standard, but hey thats just my opinion.

Best Maiden Songs- Powerslave, Hallowed Be Thy Name, Number Of the Beast, Aces High, Prowler, Be Quick Or Be Dead and Holy Smoke.

[Thunder Fingers]

Yey! Birthday.. :p

[Josh]

today?

[Thunder Fingers]

today?
yeh.

[Lord Abortion]

don't like virus much but V11 is a decent album but not as good as X-factor, best songs on V11 are- lightning strikes twice, Futureal,. when two worlds collide, como estatos amigos
I dont like the clansman or angel and the gambler album versions though the single of the latter was shortened and better...


Happy birthday Eddie!!!

[Lord Abortion]

would give b'day reppage but I
"must spread some reputation around before giving it to Eddie-the trooper again"

[Iron Man]

Yey! Birthday.. :p

I'll give what I can :thumb:

[ArcLite]

would give b'day reppage but I
"must spread some reputation around before giving it to Eddie-the trooper again"

I'll take some :D . Happy Birthday man. What Maiden song will you dedicate to the day Eddie?

[acefrehleyjendell]

I actually like Virus. The video is crap though.

[Lord Abortion]

ahhh it's OK but there are much better blaze songs
i.e the whole of X-Factor...

[acefrehleyjendell]

Yeah the x factor is my favourite non bruce album.

i think the best song on their would either be man on the edge or lord
of the flies.

[Thunder Fingers]

I'll take some :D . Happy Birthday man. What Maiden song will you dedicate to the day Eddie?


Hmmm.. Hallowed be thy name... aawsome song.. when i think through what i have heard today, thats the one i remember :p

im currently Listening to/Partly watching Megadeth - Rude Awakening(no.. i have had it for an while..:p)

[Lord Abortion]

listening to night of the stormrider by iced earth... one word -awesome
yesterday was a day for X-factor and megadeth's countdown to extinction

[GurS]

would give b'day reppage but I
"must spread some reputation around before giving it to Eddie-the trooper again"


metoo :(

happy b-day anyway;

i liked blaze as a singer but his song writing talent is no where NEAR as good as bruces.
