Iron Maiden

[GurS]

just d/led COB's aces high. i like it.

[Arucard]

But, the singing isnt very good. The solo does kick maidens *** though.

[MAthiAS]

I have yet to hear that COB cover. What do you guys think of Arch Enemy's cover of Aces High?

[rik]

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

[rik]

just d/led COB's aces high. i like it.
I love CoB, the maiden covers are fantastic. Out of interest, has anyone heard CoB cover of Europe - the final countdown.

[supreme maidenite]

the arch enemy version is good, apparently metallica did a cover of remember tommorow and run to the hills at a festival somewhere

[Iron Man]

the arch enemy version is good, apparently metallica did a cover of remember tommorow and run to the hills at a festival somewhere

Opeth did a cover of Remember Tomorrow. I can't say how good it is because I haven't heard the Maiden version :upset:

[DBoons Ghost]

Opeth did a cover of Remember Tomorrow. I can't say how good it is because I haven't heard the Maiden version :upset:

That song is a great song. One of my favorites.

I like the Paul Dianno Maiden better then the Dickenson Maiden.

[Josh]

just d/led COB's aces high. i like it.
it is very good. their version of the trooper is also very good. loads faster than original.
also, if you're an ozzy fan as well get CoB's cover of a shot in the dark.

[rik]

I like the Paul Dianno Maiden better then the Dickenson Maiden.

So do I at the moment, the only maiden album I seem to be listening to recently is killers.

[thelittledrummerboy]

i got powerslave the other day. excellent album :) Aces high just blew me away. After listening to the newer albums ( BNW and DoD ) it made me wanna go and listen to the older stuff a wee bit more like notb and pom.

[YDload]

New Question: What is Iron Maiden's cheesiest song? I say "Quest For Fire," but I haven't heard that much from their later years.

[ForiegnPenguin]

No such thing.

[Riva]

So, has anyone noticed that the riff just before and after the solo in "Infinite Dreams" is very similar to that of "Montsegur"?

And the cheesiest has to be "Bring Your Daughter... To The Slaughter"

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!!!

The Clansman is performed really well by Bruce. Does anyone think that Man On the Edge sounds a bit similiar to Be Quick Or Be Dead?

[Xyzzy]

Powerslave is Maiden's best album. It totally kicks *** in every way that an album can kick ***. Everything before Powerslave kicks *** as well although their first album is kind of punky but still good. Live after death and Somewhere in time are pretty good. After that, Maiden really went downhill. Most of their songs sound like they're just phoning it in and collecting a paycheck. Yeah, there are some good tunes here and there, but there's a *lot* of crap. Brave New World wasn't too bad and I've only heard one song off of DoD, but it was pretty lame.

As to the cheesiest Maiden songs, I'm gonna have to say either Holy Smoke or Can I Play with Madness.

[icebase]

the arch enemy version is good, apparently metallica did a cover of remember tommorow and run to the hills at a festival somewhere

Dudes i really cant stand people taking other people's songs and doining a cover verson from it. It just sucks that they cant think up of their own stuff to do. And well loads of maiden songs have cover versions of them. It just well sucks. :upset:

[opeth_oasis]

Cheesiest Song Is Virus For Sure!!

[opeth_oasis]

i can't stand covers much either, unless they do a really good job on it, like Opeths cover of Remember Tommorrow or Jeff Buckley's Cover on Hallelujah. But then you get bands who all they can do is cover other people's music, Jimmy Barnes=Big Example

[Lord Abortion]

there are several albums devoted to this slave to the power and tribute to the beast -there are several of these albums
try Iced earth's tribute to the gods with fantastic covers of hallowed be thy name and NOTB
and cradle's hallowed be thy name is very interesting with added synth effects
taking the song in a new direction

[ashman]

*wanders back into thread after 2 days absence*

Cheesiest maiden song: Can I play with Madness, Bruces little "Too blind to seeeeeee...MMMMM..." Kinda Tina Turner like lol.

[Thunder Fingers]

gotta be quest for fire realy... just for the Dinosaur thingy...

Ash;: you missed my birtday..:mad:

[Stevie]

Tailgunner owns in cheesiness.

[ashman]

NOOOO, I'm so sorry Mr. Eddie *bows down on floor begging for forgiveness by the Maiden Army Field Marshall*

Happy late Birthday...did you get really drunk?

[Thunder Fingers]

NOOOO, I'm so sorry Mr. Eddie *bows down on floor begging for forgiveness by the Maiden Army Field Marshall*

Happy late Birthday...did you get really drunk?

Neh.. i dont drink... :) i did eat dinner with my mom, grandma and a friend of my mom though, does that count? :lol:



:upset:


thy are excused...:lol:

*wow... the use of the word "thy" made me wanna hear on Hallowed.. :p*

[ashman]

:lol: Thy is such a great word, I use it all the time :P

[LiZZySkYnRd7^]

That song is a great song. One of my favorites.

I like the Paul Dianno Maiden better then the Dickenson Maiden.

I notice alot of older Maiden fans feel this way, I'm 30 and I still prefer Dickinson over Dianno, never really got into Killers as much as the other albums with Bruce at the helm. Although I also notice that people who prefer Dianno with Maiden also prefer Dio with Sabbath over Ozzy. Which I still dont, however I have come to appreciate Dio with Sabbath much more with time.

[Josh]

di'anno was good, but there was no way he could have kept going with the sh*t he was doing. 40 cigarettes a day or something he was on when he left i think.
also i'll listen to sabbath with dio or ozzy, same as i'll listen to maiden with bruce or paul. havnt heard much of blaze's stuff though.

eddie - how old now?

[LiZZySkYnRd7^]

Hmm, that's all fine and dandy, but whats your bias...which do you prefer, if you had to choose...in both instances.

[Thunder Fingers]

18...

[Thunder Fingers]

hehe... CD/MP3 players are great.. no more "hmm wich maiden or rush album today?" I can have then all on one CD :D

*are ripping Maiden CDS now...* (dont worry, i have them all original.. and with rush, i will buy all of their cds anyway..)

[Madcap.]

Didn't Di'anno get the chop for acoholism ???

[Thunder Fingers]

Didn't Di'anno get the chop for acoholism ???

Drugs.. and loosing intrest for the band...

[DBoons Ghost]

Although I also notice that people who prefer Dianno with Maiden also prefer Dio with Sabbath over Ozzy. Which I still dont, however I have come to appreciate Dio with Sabbath much more with time.

That's pretty funny. I love all Sabbath, but Ozzy is always gonna be my fav. I really like the Dio Sabbath too, but I love the Dio Rainbow.

Weird how that works out eh?

Piece of Mind is my favorite Maiden album as a whole though. To Tame a Land still blows me away.

The Dianno stuff is more raw and diverse to me. They bounced around some different styles and did it well I thought. When Bruce came onboard he certainly had the vocal range, but they kinda stuck themselves in a rut of similar sounding songs in some regards.

[ashman]

Dianno looks completely different now...

[DBoons Ghost]

You know, Dianno did get back into music after some time with a band called Paul Dianno's Battlezone. They were not very good though.

[supreme maidenite]

Dianno looks completely different now...
lol............hes much bigger now, much bigger,

[ashman]

You know, Dianno did get back into music after some time with a band called Paul Dianno's Battlezone. They were not very good though.

I saw a CD in Virgin the other day called Dianno, and it was just Maiden songs that he remade with his new band :lol:

supreme maidenite: He is indeed...LARGER.

[Stevie]

When I first saw the *new* Dianno I couldn't tell it was him. He looks like a beefy American Football player.

[supreme maidenite]

i saw him on the early days dvd and bloody hell, i thought it was someone else until the caption saying 'paul dianno' appeared on the screen. he looks like one of those hip hop/rap people/ people who go macdonalds alot lol

[ashman]

^Both of the above are true

[supreme maidenite]

anyway, i think there is a tv program about bruce and aviation soon to be shown

[Arucard]

He looks like a washed out rocker. But so do the existing members of maiden, just look at what they wear.

[ashman]

anyway, i think there is a tv program about bruce and aviation soon to be shown

It's on the Discovery channel, it's called something like Heavy metal. I don't have the discovery channel though :upset:

[Thunder Fingers]

anyway, i think there is a tv program about bruce and aviation soon to be shown

He just had an train program out?

[Firecracker]

i got the iron maiden ed hunter cd off ebay, but the slimy ****er decided to not put cd 3 in, which is half of the game.

[Arucard]

Give him bad feedback.

[Firecracker]

Give him bad feedback.
i will be doing.

[Josh]

It's on the Discovery channel, it's called something like Heavy metal. I don't have the discovery channel though :upset:
i get it. the programs call "flying heavy metal with bruce dickinson." i saw a pic from it on the maiden site, bruce looks funny dressed like a pilot. not how im used to seeing him i suppose.

**400th post**

[Xyzzy]

gotta be quest for fire realy... just for the Dinosaur thingy...

"In a time when dinosaurs ruled the earth, In a land where swamp and caves were home..." is cheesy?? C'mon those lyrics rule!! Just kidding - they are kind of cheesy. I still love the tune though. Piece of mind is a f*kin killer album. To Tame a Land is an epic tune.

On another topic, I just wandered into the Chili Peppers thread and alerted them to the fact that the Chili Peppers suck. They neg repped me for speaking the truth. :upset: Can someone give me some pos rep to counter the evils wrought by RHCP fanatics?

[MAthiAS]

...You deserve neg rep for being so dumb... going into an official thread and saying the band sucks. and RHCP don't suck IMO. If you did it in like, the Slipknot thread, I'd rep you, but RHCP, no.

And I really can't stand Quest for Fire... worst song on Piece of Mind.

[YDload]

Whoo hoo, I finally received the self-titled album and listened to it the whole way through last night! It was pretty good; here are some of my thoughts:

Prowler: Loved this song. Great opener.

Sanctuary: Sounded a little like KISS, but with better bass. Still pretty good.

Remember Tomorrow: This one I didn't like very much. I think it would be better with Bruce Dickinson because it's a bit more "spacey." Dianno does better on the grittier tracks.

Running Free: I loved this one; very bouncy. The chorus is a little repetitive, but it made a good single I guess.

Phantom of the Opera: I've renewed my membership in the Church of Steve Harris thanks to this song. The best on the album.

Strange World: A little bit better than "Remember Tomorrow," but it's more of a Bruce song, probably.

Charlotte the Harlot: This is another great song. Lots of fun.

Iron Maiden: Of course, this one rocks.

[Lord Abortion]

[brooksy1986]

Iron Maiden Suck

[brooksy1986]

[Thunder Fingers]

Wrong fans, but who are they after all..

Yes, thank you.
go away...

[Lord Abortion]

heheheh ...

[brooksy1986]

OK ill give you a chance to change my opinion. What the **** makes Iron Maiden so appealing to everyone except me? The way i see it is Paul Di'anno good, Bruce Dickinson bad.

[Mind Revolution]

how can someone dislike maiden?

[GurS]

coz they GHEY


not really

[ashman]

coz they GHEY


not really

I have to disagree with that they are GHEY*



*Not being Homphobic in anyway, shape or form. For terms and conditions please go over there and sit in the corner.

[Arucard]

Well, i think that the Iron Maiden, wants you for dead.

[MAthiAS]

Ok... I just watched Rock in Rio on my friend's big screen with surround sound. That concert is so amazing.

[rik]

Ok... I just watched Rock in Rio on my friend's big screen with surround sound. That concert is so amazing.
It sure is, I love it when the intro to the wicker man just kicks in to start it all off.

[GurS]

for the record


aces high:

Maiden>COB>Arch Enemy

[Thunder Fingers]

Ok... I just watched Rock in Rio on my friend's big screen with surround sound. That concert is so amazing.

oh! then you heard the screaming guy in the back of the last part of "sign of the cross"--- that one is damn freaky....

[the_uber_penguin]

I prefer the CD...the crowd are miked up higher so you can really hear them singing along to the Fear Of The Dark riff, and "The dream is true" in The Wicker Man, and things like that.

[Thunder Fingers]

"The dream is true" in The Wicker Man, and things like that.

Dream of Mirrors....

[GurS]

Pwnage by the E-Man










Oh yeh :cool:

[AB/CD]

has any1 noticed nicko ruins msot of their pictures lol
i was looking at the brave new world cover and on the back they r all looking up and nicko looks like hes seen a bird ready to **** on bruce or something but every1 else looks dead serious an all

[thelittledrummerboy]

Ok... I just watched Rock in Rio on my friend's big screen with surround sound. That concert is so amazing.

I paid 60 bucks for that dvd. At first i thought i wasted my money but then it grew on me and now i can't put the bloody thing down, i'm afraid i'll wear it out lol. Faviourite songs: Wicker man, The Clansman, Sign Of The Cross,



ooh hell just the whole thing is awesome even the interviews and behind the sceens stuff :thumb: i'll give it 15 out of 10 :D

[IcedEarth]

Yum an Iron Maiden thread.. wow you paid $60 for Rock in Rio, Mine was only like $35

[The Essential]

mine was like $0... :naughty:

[axeslinga_32]

mine was 70c, got it in a market in indonesia, its so awesome, adrian does some mind blowing moves. but whats with those pants?

[the_uber_penguin]

Dream of Mirrors....

Oops...:thumb:

I missed some words out...

It was meant to say:

"The dream is true" in The Dream of Mirrors and the "Whoa-oh-oh" in The Wicker Man.

;)

EDIT: Oh, and Janick's solo in The Clansman.

[Stevie]

Seen these?

http://www.hetrsg.nl/forum/images/avatars/koos/sponge.gif

[GurS]

you need a password :/

Worst stage outfit: H on Maiden England. Whats with the furry waistcoat :confused:


Did you know that on the original STA, Sanctuary was not on it? :/

[Stevie]

Strange, I can access it easily...I'll change it if I can.

Can be found as signature in this first guy's post

http://kitf.proboards19.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=kitf&num=1071777274&start=0

[magicbus]

As a first Maiden cd, would you recommend Powerslave or Number of the Beast?

[GurS]

still gonna need that password.

and I say as a first album, Number of the beast. People who are new to maiden get bored by Rime and also don't fully appreciate Flash of the Blade, The Duellists and Back in the Village. i'd say powerslave is more a third or fourth album.

[IAJP]

Oooh,
I'm listening to their debut right now :cool:

[mordredozzy124]

Could anyone reccomend me some specific tracks with Blaze Bayley singing please? I have a lot of Bruce Dickinson stuff, but I'd like to hear what Blaze sounds like so I can decide whether to buy X Factor.

666th post too.

[IAJP]

Erm..
Futeral,Man On The Edge,
are the ones that instantly spring to mind.

[Stevie]

^^ Try Futureal, Clansman

Both arn't on X Factor, but I'd warn you, neither album is too great. I mean they're not bad but you're likely to never really want to listen to them. Seriously I own both X Factor and Virtual XI and I have listened to them both fully about twice each.

[IAJP]

To be honest,
I don't rate Blaze Bayley at all really,
his voice might be OK, but it doesn't really suit Maidens' style.

[GurS]

he did sign of the cross well

[MAthiAS]

oh! then you heard the screaming guy in the back of the last part of "sign of the cross"--- that one is damn freaky....
Yeah I know man!

The Clansman
I don't even have the studio version of it, but thats one of my favorites on the DVD. Also gotta love Blood Brothers, The Evil that Men Do, and Iron Maiden.

And what song was it where the guy from the crowd got up on stage and tapped I think it was Dave Murray on the shoulder and was thrown out? I laughed so hard at that. :lol:

[Stevie]

I feel Brucy did a much better version of both Clansman and Sign Of The Cross in Rio.

Did you guys know that Bruce is a trainspotter?

[ashman]

Yeah I know, Bruce is like the typical geek type guy... :lol:

[IAJP]

I feel Brucy did a much better version of both Clansman and Sign Of The Cross in Rio.

Ok thanks. I love The Duellists though. I was listening to Powerslave at my friend's house and I think the cd is great. That's why I asked about that one too.

[IAJP]

Is powerslave good?

[ashman]

Powerslave is good; Rime is the best song by far, an abosolute epic. Followed by Powerslave, then Aces High, then Losfer words (big 'orra).

[IAJP]

Oooh,
Rhyme Of The Ancient Marriner?
Bloody amazing song.
And yeah, the only word to describe that is "Epic"

[ashman]

I change my mind, not just epic....Bloody Epic :thumb:

[IAJP]

You know what?
I'm gonna honour Maiden by listening to it now!
:thumb:

[Thunder Fingers]

Rime is the esence of exelent epic Maiden songs, so 'kin sweet to play and listen to...

[mordredozzy124]

Powerslave is good; Rime is the best song by far, an abosolute epic. Followed by Powerslave, then Aces High, then Losfer words (big 'orra).
Flash of the Blade and 2 Minutes to Midnight as well!

I'm listening to Dance Of Death now,
A pretty amazing album I think you'll agree.
And I got paschandale live...
OH MY GOD

[MAthiAS]

I'm listening to Dance Of Death now,
A pretty amazing album I think you'll agree.
And I got paschandale live...
OH MY GOD
Oh yeah, its an amazing album. Not as good as Brave New World, but amazing. Its a Maiden album, come on. Paschendale live... sick!

and whats a trainspotter?

[IAJP]

Meh I prefer DOD to BNW, allthough BNW has the wicker man on it (:eek:.)

Anyway, a trainspotter is someone who hangs around train stations and waits for trains to come in, then they identify the train.
Weird, I know :p.
Anyway, can someone recomend me a Maiden album, I'm a pretty seasoned listener.
I have:Iron Maiden,The Number Of The Beast, Piece Of Mind, Brave New World and DOD.
I also have Rock In Rio..but..yeah.
Anyway, so any recomendations?

[GurS]

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son or Powerslave

[IAJP]

Seventh Son, has The Clairvoyant on it doesn't it?

[scream_for_me_brazil]

Aha! I have returned from out of the Beyond!!

Yes I think it has

[IAJP]

Amazing song that is.
I'm listening to C.O.B cover the Trooper now.
Thanks GurS :-/

[scream_for_me_brazil]

Lol joined in August 2004 and got a whole 11 posts!!

And does anyone know where I might possibly get a multi-coloured guitar strap like what Janick has on Rock In Rio? I really love it but I cant find one anywhere

i remember you :/

anyway, what line from a maiden song is so amazing that it just sends shivers down your spine?

musiciansfriend.com must have it

[Josh]

well hello all, ive been gone nearly 2 days and only 2 days of the thread to catch up on. well the velvet revolver gig last night wasnt bad, there were a lot of people wearing maiden tops there. wasnt as good as maiden, but i dont think many gigs could be that good. arghhhhhh still no UK tour dates.

[supreme maidenite]

i was listenin to 7th son of a 7th son album album last nite - havent listened to it in ages - my favourite album now

[Lord Abortion]

x factor rules because of...
all tracks but mainly the aftermath, judgement of heaven, SOTC, fortunes of war, the edge of darkness and blood on the world's hands

[lovegunner]

:evil: Maiden is what made me want to learn bass. Steve harris is more than a god. No band matches maiden's greatness. Fear of the Dark was the first song I ever learned(7 months ago) and I still love to play it. This thread is great and i wish i got in it sooner. UP THE IRONS!!!!!!! \m/ Hell is from here to eternity... :evil:

[supreme maidenite]

the first song i learned by maiden was POTO and Fear Of The Dark (on drums)

[Lord Abortion]

welcome then...
we need a new acronym for this situation
how about HIG (harris is god)?

[Lord Abortion]

my first song i learned on drums was paranoid by sabbath and for whom the bell tolls by 'tallica
oh and wicked game by HIM (shame).
band I was in at the time was kinda geared that way...

[lovegunner]

i remember you :/

anyway, what line from a maiden song is so amazing that it just sends shivers down your spine?



Oh well, wherever, wherever you are, Iron Maiden's, gonna get ya, no matter how far

and...

i'm waiting in my cold cell as the bell begins to chime reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time cause at five o' clock they take me to the gallows pole the sands of time for me are running low

there are too many to name (The Evil That Men Do pre-chorus)

[GurS]

mine is "girls drinking plasma wine" from strange world. it's so **** surreal!

[shadow_stalker]

sorry if your in the middle of something but has anyone heard montserrat cabellé and bruce dickinson's cover of bohemian rhapsody?


the chorus of blood brothers used to send shivers down my spine , but i havnt listend to it in ages so it probably doesnt anymore

[supreme maidenite]

rolling, turning, diving..........etc from aces high gives me adrenaline (!?)
im coming back, i will return, i will possess your body and ill make you burn (NOTB)
the last bit from the seventh son of a seventh son song cant remember how it goes

[lovegunner]

I left alone... my mind was blank... I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind [:evil]

[supreme maidenite]

this is it
Today is born the seventh one
Born of woman the seventh son
And he in turn of a seventh son
He has the power to heal
He has the gift of the second sight
He is the chosen one
So it shall be written
So it shall be done
(7th son of a 7th son)

[Lord Abortion]

hi titch...
um hallowed be thy name and the blood brothers intro do this to me
still life too...
"now It's clear and I know what I have to do
I must take you down there to look at them too
hand in hand and we'll jump right into that pool
can't you see not just me they want you too"

i agree with that bit of still life

[Josh]

songs that send shivers down my spine when i hear intros:
blood brothers
brave new world
the evil that men do

[Sting2688]

"A rush of blood and over we go" from paschendale always sends a shiver down my spine

[Josh]

^that is also true. how could i forget paschendale?!? and when they played it live, the pit was crazy...

[Thunder Fingers]

"Blood is falling like the rain
Its crimson cloak unveils again

"Walking through the city
Looking oh so pretty
I've just got to find my wa-a-ay"

"Yeah-e-ah-e-aaaaaahhh... hallowed be thy name!" (x2)

"Fly on your way
Like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun"

By the way, are there any parts of Maiden songs where no one is playing but Steve? The only one I could think of is those two measures in "Phantom of the Opera" where he plays those triplets.

Off the top of my head i believe the solo in "Iron Maiden" and also the beginning of "Clairvoyant".

Wonder which albums will go far in the best album polls? :)

That is so cool, i love that line. I think the whole of blood brothers, the chorus of Aces high and " I will hope my soul will fly so i will live forever. Hope Will die my soul will fly and i will live forever" The thin line :thumb:

[MAthiAS]

i agree with that bit of still life
Me too.

and all of Revelations. Just how he sings it hits a nerve.

[The Iron Langer]

ooohhhh Revelations-Bruces voice sounds soooooo class on it
Dance Of Death(the song)always sends shivers down my spine
.....all had death in their eyes,lifeless figures they were undead all of them,
they had ascended from hell" :chug:

[ForiegnPenguin]

Many Maiden songs do the same to me.

[thelittledrummerboy]

Where did you first discover Iron Maiden?

I saw "Run to the Hills" on Rage (a video clip show ) and was blow away by the song. Thats what started my obsession.

[thelittledrummerboy]

the first song i learned by maiden was POTO and Fear Of The Dark (on drums)

The flight of icarus

[icebase]

Dudes is it just me or are we being invaded by newbies? :rolleyes:

Either way im happy got £127.23 for the singed maiden album i sold. :thumb:

[the_uber_penguin]

Yeah, they do at first. You learn to hear the differences as you get into them.

Is it just me, or since I got this username, SO many people have started getting names with "penguin" in them.

:angry:

[Stevie]

On "The Number Of The Beast" on A Real Dead One, during the introduction "Woe to be" part, there seems to be another voice in the part that speaks between "the number of the beast" and "it's number is 666" and then a bit after that, as well as in a few other places. Does anybody know what that is? Is it a band member or something I've missed in my thousands of times hearing NoB?

Dave Murray is my cherub.
I hear Maiden are rumoured for Download Festival 2005. And if that is the case, i will definately be going, because i have the money and i wanted to go last year when my bf went and i missed it because of the french exchange.

[Stevie]

^^ It's possible. They're going to be in a Belgian metal fest in 2005, so it's possible. To bad they make fests the same time as ****ing exams.

Running Free kinda has a guitar solo towards the middle, and the bass solo in Iron Maiden more than makes up for the lack of guitarage, but yeah i think you're right. Come to think of it...does Purgatory have one? Awesome song btw :D

Please take me away, take me away so far aWAAYYYYYYY! \m/

Hey guys, I've just added a bio for Iron Maiden on mx's new CD Reviews site. That's where all the reviews are now. Tell me what you think of this:

One of the greatest and most popular heavy metal bands to ever take the stage, Iron Maiden was formed in 1975 by bassist Steve Harris. After several lineup changes in the early 80s, a more or less stable line-up emerged. This classic line-up includes vocalist Bruce "Air Raid Siren" Dickinson, as well as twin lead guitarists Dave Murray and Adrian Smith. Maiden pioneered the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement of the early 80s, distinguishing themselves from their peers with literary subject matter and considerable musical talent. They have recently released their thirteenth studio album, "Dance of Death," and continue a steady touring and recording schedule. More than two decades after its inception, Iron Maiden maintains a steady and fervent fanbase without the benefit of radio airplay or media saturation.

The site keeps having trouble, so that's the third time I've typed that bio up from scratch. Hope it satisfies the Authority.

[thelittledrummerboy]

What is the album " Somewhere in Time " like. how would u guys rate it against the others?
I've got dod, bnw, notb, pom, 7th son, powerslave, fear of the dark. Could u recomend n e others. Cheers guys \m/

[Stevie]

^^ Self titled, killers, and start getting some live albums m'boy!

Ah this reminds me of a post I wanted to make yesterday but I had recently turned off the computer so I couldn't be arsed.

Do you think Maiden were better off without Bruce for a while? When you can hear Bruce on Fear of the Dark, and live albums he really sounded tired and quite fed up. However, when I hear Brave New World, he sounds so refreshed, and it's like the band is renewed in a way. So, without the Bruce break, Maiden might have been doomed because Bruce may have got worse and worse. What are your thoughts?

[Lord Abortion]

well FOTD and NPFTD were awful by maiden's standards so I can see your point here i agree totally that the break did bruce good and H too and Maiden went on to produce x-factor which was better than the previous two albums
then the two came back and all was better with BNW
Huzzah!

[icebase]

Ya know what i think Iron Maiden have to do soon. Play in Northern Ireland like have they ever played up here yet. It's always in bloody Dublin and with me being a protestant and a rocker there are just hords of stupid drunkin catholics waitin for ya and then a big fight erupts. Its real sad. Ps not tryin to get at catholics. Have a load of friends that are catholics.

[Lord Abortion]

yeah NI must be a horrible place to live
If you hear about the last time they played in Ireland with them getting booed during the trooper and the union jack waving thing...

bruce needed the break he couldnt be arsed any more. anyway it let him to more solo work, gave blaze a shot and then when he came back people appreciated bruce more, and the result was the awesome album that is brave new world

yeah better than DOD, paschendale and the TT apart...

post number 5203 on the Iron Maiden thread

That's a shame for Ireland. You know what the lesson is there? Don't be Irish.

:) Well it's our fault really with all of that :(.

Maiden should have realised that the Trooper would not have gone down well.

[AB/CD]

i dont see y every1 in ireland cracks up about that its never bothered me cos i respect the fact they r british and the song is about the brits in the war is it not

[supreme maidenite]

nooooo i got tht on release date i mean like it, like re releasing flight of icarus 2 minutes to midnight again etc

[Josh]

i doubt theyll release many more singles, but its actually up to EMI because they sold the rights for the pre-1991 songs (i think, it was something like that) to EMI, so its possible that there will be more singles.

[MAthiAS]

Any word of a North American tour?

[Josh]

not yet. they havent even announced UK dates! there wont be many dates in the US, its only a small tour (by maidens standards) as in only huge arenas and festivals (well mostly)

[ashman]

It's a shame that Maiden sold out...I suppose they needed the money to keep going...

They haven't sold out in the usual way, they have literally sold out by selling all the rights. They are still good, I'm not gonna be boycotting them or anything...:thumb:

[Last Ditch Effort]

Oh man, it would be rad to own all of their singles. Too abd they didn't release a box set of all their singles like Nirvana.

Does anyone know when their next album is rumoured to be released?

sell out????
No 'kin way!!!

[floyd.the.barber]

If there's anyone in the UK there, today's Daily Telegraph has an interview with Bruce Dickinson.

[icebase]

You do know that all the money from the single is going to the asian disaster.

They arnt getting a penny. Well thats what i heard. The record producer is taking the cost's for making it and maiden are getting nothin because they are already loaded. Now metallica are sellouts. Wouldn't even let people download their music. All they care about is the money.

[Thunder Fingers]

hmmm.. if this is about the new single, who owns the rights to the pre 98 songs? EMI(i think it was emi?its anyway an big record company..) the Band have NOTHING to do with what the record Company do now, Maiden have no rights regarding their old Music...

Hey all, for those who live in the US (and for those elsewhere who want to help us here see Maiden), go to the Ozzfest survey page: http://promo.cc.com/ozzfest/survey/default.aspx?cfc=1
and under the bands you want to see at Ozzfest entry, enter Iron Maiden (I put in Maiden and Priest since I'd love to see Maiden, Priest, and Ozzy at the same show - that would be like a religious experience for me!!!) I've never seen Maiden or Priest live and they don't really play much in the states anymore. So, help a brother out :) Thanks!!!!!

Back. Finally finished the first disk of Early Days :eek:

Time to watch the documentary. I hope it's as good as the 12 Wasted Years documentary.

[Stevie]

It took you 4 days? :D

Any rumours about the part two?

[GurS]

none whatsoever. to my knowledge.

i'm guessing it will be Powerslave - Seventh Son. What do ya'll reckon?

[Stevie]

Possibly some more on Piece of Mind - they seemed to just rush the end. Maybie up till seventh, or maybie FoTD...then there's the new era.

[GurS]

i'd have though they would hav elumped NOPFTD and FOTD with the blazes. they could call it Part three: The crap era.

[GurS]

And i always though Zomba music had the rights to maiden.

[Josh]

i'd have though they would hav elumped NOPFTD and FOTD with the blazes. they could call it Part three: The crap era.
hahahahahah very good. i listened to brave new world today for the first time in ages. i'd forgotten how good it is.

[GurS]

i too have rediscovered my love for an album, in this case the S/T

[Josh]

the S/T is great. even though the production quality isnt the best, IMO it makes it sound better and more original

[supreme maidenite]

none whatsoever. to my knowledge.

i'm guessing it will be Powerslave - Seventh Son. What do ya'll reckon?
i reckon so those two are my favourite maiden albums
