Iron Maiden

[ashman]

none whatsoever. to my knowledge.

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

Definitely.

I reckon they will do NPFD 'til VXI after that, and then the last will probably be from BNW and DoD and maybe include their new album if it's done before they release that part...

[ashman]

And I Dont Give A S*** What You Sad Cases Think Of Me. You Sad Muppets Cant Say Anything To Me That Aint Been Said Before About Iron Maiden. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahaha

OMG you're so like totally funny and you're original and like no one has ever said that...EVER. :p

Frankly, no one cares what you think, and probably never will. Why don't you go listen to some hardcore Good Charlotte... :thumb:


:lol:

[supreme maidenite]

lol u got it all summed up there

[IAJP]

Wow...piece of my mind is an incredible album...

[supreme maidenite]

:lol:
:lol:
Rep for you man.
:eek:!
Good Charlotte, that's a bit harsh isn't it now?:p

[supreme maidenite]

Wow...piece of my mind is an incredible album...
i like 'where eagles dare' best on it. the drums on it are pretty special..................

[MAthiAS]

i like 'where eagles dare' best on it. the drums on it are pretty special..................
Thats a decent song, not great IMO. I personally love Revelations, Flight of Icarus, Die With Your Boots On, The Trooper, and Still Life off PoM. Other than that its nothing too special. Weaker album than Powerslave and NOTB.

[IAJP]

Flight of the Icarus is pretty incredibly amazing

[supreme maidenite]

personally i like powerslave 7th son of a 7th son and beast over hammersmith

[supreme maidenite]

i was listening to powerslave and it just reminds you how epic Rime of the ancient mariner is. i like every song on it especially aces high n powerslave

[IAJP]

personally i like powerslave 7th son of a 7th son and beast over hammersmith
Number Of The Beast, is a bit overated for my liking, sure it has some amazing hits on it, but to be honest I prefer DoD and Piece Of My Mind.
Plus Iron Maiden, which ATM is my favourite maiden album.

[The Fonz]

i was listening to some metallica and i noticed alot of similaritie between metallica and maiden..... does any body else

specifically fade toblack and powerslave... if u listen to all of both songs.

[Firecracker]

Apart from the fact that i detest Metallica and lurve Iron Maiden, they are much similar. :/ Actually i like a few Metallica songs. Not many though.


And 'The Number Of The Beast' is my favourite album of all time.
Closely followed by 'Powerslave'

Dance Of Death is an incredibly underated album.
And yeah, I agree, Metalica are so overated.

[IAJP]

i was listening to powerslave and it just reminds you how epic Rime of the ancient mariner is. i like every song on it especially aces high n powerslave
Rhyme Of The Ancient Mariner is absolutley fecking amazing.
2 Minutes To Midnight is on Powerslave isn't it?
/If So me gets

[supreme maidenite]

what about 7th son - the seventh son of a seventh son song is pretty amazing and so is the clairvoyant

[Firecracker]

Dance Of Death is an incredibly underated album.
And yeah, I agree, Metalica are so overated.
And there are so many people in my school that are like: 'you like heavy music, you like metallica?'
Cunts!
And Dance Of Death is bloody amazing, i think it's underated because it's gone more melodic and less heavy in places, but other than that i don't see people's problems with it. "Montsegur" is superb.

[Firecracker]

what about 7th son - the seventh son of a seventh son song is pretty amazing and so is the clairvoyant
That album is ace aswell.
'Only The Good Die Young' is among my Top 10 Maiden songs.

[Josh]

the thing is i like metallica as well as maiden. and i dont care what people think about my music taste.

[ForiegnPenguin]

Yeah, I like Metallica too. But I like Maiden far more.

[MAthiAS]

And Dance Of Death is bloody amazing, i think it's underated because it's gone more melodic and less heavy in places, but other than that i don't see people's problems with it. "Montsegur" is superb.
Yeah it is. And come on... Paschendale... please.

I always think of Maiden albums in eras like...
s/t and Killers: Dianno era
NOTB, POM, and Powerslave: straight NWOBHM era
SIT and SSOASS: progressive-ish era
all the 90s albums: shat era
BNW and DOD: new era type thing

So I pick favorites from the different times. I just do that because I can't pick one favorite.

[ForiegnPenguin]

I like the 90s era, but your probably right about it being their worst.

[Riva]

What do you think is their worst? :confused:

[ForiegnPenguin]

The whole Nineties era. By no means am I saying its bad but it just doesn't compare to the previous and preceding Iron Maiden.

[Riva]

I see. Yes, I think that '80s Maiden produced some excellent albums (Powerslave, SSOASS, NOTB) however, Brave New World, for me at least, is better than some of the '80s releases.

[Dannyboy15]

BNW is an excellent album, so is DoD.

[ForiegnPenguin]

I see. Yes, I think that '80s Maiden produced some excellent albums (Powerslave, SSOASS, NOTB) however, Brave New World, for me at least, is better than some of the '80s releases.

To each his own I guess.

[Dannyboy15]

I can't stand Blaze's Voice. Bruce does Blaze songs better than Blaze ever could.

[MAthiAS]

I see. Yes, I think that '80s Maiden produced some excellent albums (Powerslave, SSOASS, NOTB) however, Brave New World, for me at least, is better than some of the '80s releases.
IMO Brave New World > Piece of Mind. Otherwise, 80s Maiden > all.

[Stevie]

I listened to the first time in a few months Live after Death. Ah the Rime....Powerslave for me is forgotten by me....

How about this: First Maiden album(s) you ever bought?

For me I first downloaded S/T (Don't worry I've got it properly now!)
then I bought Somewhere In Time, Fear of the Dark and DoD.

[steveharris]

first album i bought number of the beast, but i prefer the first album "iron maiden"

[icebase]

The first album i got of theirs was the killers and then well i just went nuts buying everything i could get my hands on.

[on 1 day release]

you guys all better hav bought the re-release of the beast!!!!!!!!!!!! i did

[Lord Abortion]

I can't stand Blaze's Voice. Bruce does Blaze songs better than Blaze ever could.
have to disagree with you there...
Blaze is a brilliant vocallist
obviously bruce is better BUT they are very different styles and it is very difficult to compare
I know I defend Blaze alot... but someone has to...

Blaze sign of the cross> bruce sign of the cross

[Riva]

My first Maiden album ever was Powerslave.

And Bruce: The Clansman > Blaze: The Clansman, my good sir. :)

[floyd.the.barber]

first album was rock in rio
fave album iron maiden :wave:

[Lord Abortion]

My first Maiden album ever was Powerslave.

And Bruce: The Clansman > Blaze: The Clansman, my good sir. :)
yeah but the clansman is pretty poor anyway...
one of 'arry's worst "epics"

[Riva]

yeah but the clansman is pretty poor anyway...
one of 'arry's worst "epics"

Well, I like it. :)

*waits for the familiar, "But, you like The Apparition" argument* :p

[Thunder Fingers]

i dont like the intro to clansman anymore... i think you al remember the cause to that...

[Lord Abortion]

meh...
its ok (clansman not apperition)
but the apperition is just as bad as some of the other songs on that album
fear is the key?
weekend warrior?
It took me a while to actually think of two songs from that album's filler tracks

[Riva]

Haha. Weekend warrior is hilarious.

[Lord Abortion]

i dont like the intro to clansman anymore... i think you al remember the cause to that...
no... explain please?

[Thunder Fingers]

no... explain please?

you didnt catch what the R'n'B'er Brady did?

[steveharris]

i like the intro to clansman, i thought it was really funny at rock in rio when Nicko was doing his version of a highland jig behind the drumkit :thumb:

[Lord Abortion]

no?

what is an r'n'ber???
what?

[Thunder Fingers]

no?

what is an r'n'ber???
what?

rhytm and blues...

kinda pop-hip hop... anyway, she sampled the intro to The Clansman in her song... i think her name was brady or somthin...

[Riva]

A person who likes R&B, I assume. :)

[Lord Abortion]

rhytm and blues...

oh right as in R+B yeah
just confused to hear it in the maiden thread
confusing...

[Thornis]

Well well well, I have finally found my metal home! Ahhh nice <sits his big ol'arse down and kicks is feet up and grabs a "soda">
So nice to be amongst such smart and friendly Maiden folk. Just when I was starting to feel old!. Thanks guys!
I have been a Maiden fan since the early 80's and have never looked back.
There were a few albums that I didn't care for very much. but as artists we are all allowed a few bad moments...every album cannot be 2112, Sgt.Peppers or POWERSLAVE! right?.
anyway..nice to meet you all and keep crankin Maiden!
-Thornis :thumb:

[Lord Abortion]

cool, welcome...

[ArcLite]

Welcome to the forums man. I think we all share your views on the albums. Some just didn't cut it. But even the less preferred ones were pretty good.

[Lord Abortion]

fear of the dark, no prayer, and virtual xi?

[ArcLite]

fear of the dark, no prayer, and virtual xi?

Those would be the ones.

[Thornis]

well to be honest. I haven't picked up a Maiden album in years...the last was Fear of the Dark..not bad but not the Powerslave I am used. Maybe I am an old codger or a purest but hell, at least they are still out there, making music and touring! For that, I will never ever complain!.
Can some of you who are into the newer Maiden stuff, recommend the best so I can check it out? I appreciate your help!
Upstate NY Maiden Fan!
-Thornis

[steveharris]

yeah but a few songs off them albums are still good, fear of the dark gets the crowd going :thumb:

[Thunder Fingers]

oh right as in R+B yeah

yeah.. it still have ruined the clansman for me...

check out the newest album dance of death. i like that album even if people put it down all of the time.

[Lord Abortion]

well i like DOD even though it is not as good as BNW
paschendale is magnificent...

[GurS]

My first album was Number of the Beast... the first maiden song i ever heard was "bring your daughter", which i thought was ok but pretty unremarkable - I couldn't understand why they had such a great reputation.

Then I heard Run to the Hills.
I bought NOTB shortly after, and never went back.

The order in which I got my Maiden albums:

NOTB
Powerslave
FOTD (same time as Powerslave)
DOD
BNW
S/T
Edward the Great
SSOASS *
Killers *
LAD *
LAD *
(all starred bought at same time)
NPFTD
Beast of the Beast
X-Factor

Go acronyms :)

[Stevie]

Why did you get the best ofs?!

[ashman]

This thread is moving so fast lately...it's confusing me *runs around in circles*

Anyway, I found my love for the Clansman, it's an amazing song :thumb:

[Dannyboy15]

I have the Rock in Rio version. Its far better than studio.

[rik]

I have the Rock in Rio version. Its far better than studio.
I agree, Steves acoustic bass sounds great.

[ashman]

Yeah true, it is a great song live too. Nearly as good as Infinite Dreams live...

[Last Ditch Effort]

Iron Maiden Suck ***
Go home and listen to Metallica and Korn

[Thunder Fingers]

I agree, Steves acoustic bass sounds great.

u know what bass that is?`im wanting to get an acustic bass.. but he probaly have one of thoose high eend, expensive as hell basses..

[YDload]

Here's a topic for discussion that I don't think we've ever covered:

What is your favorite Steve Harris end-of-song crazy bass riff? When the song's over and everyone's just sort of going crazy, and Steve always does the coolest-sounding riffs.

I like the one in Run to the Hills, probably because it's one of the few that I've seen tabbed out on mxtabs.

[Dannyboy15]

Phantom of the opera

[YDload]

Phantom of the opera

I don't think that song has one, it just ends with Paul screaming "Torture me back at ya lair!"

[Thunder Fingers]

yeah, phantom have an rather constant end..

[Dannyboy15]

I don't think that song has one, it just ends with Paul screaming "Torture me back at ya lair!"

Oh I was thinking just overall bassline. In that case I like Where eagles dare

[Lord Abortion]

aces high is an amazing bassline
what live album is infinite dreams on?

[IAJP]

The official Iron Maiden website is such a good resource,
you can download like...1 minute excerpts from any song, on any album by Maiden.
so...


I decided I'm gonna go out tommorow and buy powerslave:)

Maiden are really good about keeping their fans in touch. More so than most any other band. They have a good forum too.

[Thunder Fingers]

Maiden England

[Lord Abortion]

ah the one I have not got

is it the video of live after death with extra tracks on ?

murders in the rue morgue i think...

[IAJP]

Maiden are really good about keeping their fans in touch. More so than most any other band. They have a good forum too.
It's so true,
More so with DOD, They comercialised a bit,
but they kept the original fans, plus entertained the newer fans.

Maiden are simply my favourite metal band of all time :).

[Josh]

get this week's kerrang magazine if you can. theres 2 or 3 pages on maiden, just random facts. quite entertaining though.

ive never been on the maiden forums.

[Thunder Fingers]

dont go there.. i just left.. they are all morons.. i understand why the band never visit the place... and the people there get stuck in things you say..

[Josh]

ok. argh dammit theres still no UK tour dates. lucky you eddie living in norway!

[IAJP]

I know,:upset:,
I've been scouring that site for months for tour dates in England.
If there are any, I'm setting up camp outside the box office :).

[Josh]

i just book tickets online. with my parents credit card. heh heh. where abouts in england are you?

[IAJP]

I'm in Liverpool man,
yourself?

[Josh]

northumberland, 35 miles from newcastle.

[IAJP]

Amazing,
how much would you say..the average Maiden ticket would cost?

[GurS]

40?

I'm waiting (hoping) for them to say Earl's Court.

London > Everywhere else in England.

Except Donnington.

[the_uber_penguin]

40?

I'm waiting (hoping) for them to say Earl's Court.

London > Everywhere else in England.

Except Donnington.

Maiden to play London Astoria...that would kick anus.

[Stevie]

Since it's an "Early days tour (right?)" does that not mean their set list will be more old inclined?

[ForiegnPenguin]

Are they coming to America anytime soon?

[Thunder Fingers]

Since it's an "Early days tour (right?)" does that not mean their set list will be more old inclined?

yes...

who knows.. they might even check in at the Rainbow and play there... ;)

[Stevie]

Hah I'd sure be there (dying because it's so jam packed).

Hell maybie we'll hear Women In Uniform...

[Riva]

That would be nice. :)

[rik]

u know what bass that is?`im wanting to get an acustic bass.. but he probaly have one of thoose high eend, expensive as hell basses..
No idea mate, i might watch it later and see if i can see what it is.

[Stevie]

That reminds me, does anyone know where I can download for free the studio version of Women in Uniform?

[Josh]

40?

I'm waiting (hoping) for them to say Earl's Court.

London > Everywhere else in England.

Except Donnington.
maiden playing newcastle = best for me as its nearest arena.

and last time the ticket cost £25 (i think)

[IAJP]

It'd be good even if they played in Manchester, I'd still travel there to see them.

[ashman]

get this week's kerrang magazine if you can. theres 2 or 3 pages on maiden, just random facts. quite entertaining though.

ive never been on the maiden forums.


My sister got that Kerrang, I had a looksee, and the best was the one that said Janick was blinded by some stage lights, fell of the stage and knocked himself out in 2000. Poor guy...

[Stevie]

Is it worth buying the entire edition for?

[IAJP]

I GOT POWERSLAVE!
: partay:
:cool:

[Stevie]

Yay! What do you guys think of Live at Donnington 92?

[IAJP]

I downloaded a few songs off it.
Meh,
I prefer "A real Live Dead One" and of course Rock In Rio.
It's still pretty solid though.
(wow powerslave is absolutley amazing!!)

[OnceTheyWereHeros]

i have never really got into maiden because i am too young to remember them in their hayday! but all of the songs i have heard are quite cheesy to my ears apart from one which i forget its name lol but i havent heard alot of maiden. can anybody give me a good song to get started on? (apart from number of the beast ;))

P.S i like heavy stuff

[IAJP]

Hey, I'm only 15, so I wasn't born when they were in their heyday.
:)Hmm...good songs:
Phantom Of The Opera, Run To The Hills, Flight Of The Iccarus, The Trooper, 2 Minutes To Midnight, Aces High, Holy smoke.

Ooh, and the wicker man :)
That should do :D

[ashman]

Is it worth buying the entire edition for?

Nah, Kerrang! are doing a lot of single page Maiden stuff lately...

Heavier songs eh? Maybe: Mountsegur, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Somewhere in Time, Wildest Dreams, Killers, Look for the Truth, The Trooper, Where Eagles Dare, Be Quick or Be dead and Fear of the Dark...

I'm 18, the first album I ever listened to was Sevength son of a Sevength son on the day it was realised in 1988, and I've never looked back...except when Bruce left... :upset: <==Despair.

[OnceTheyWereHeros]

Fear of the Dark! Yes i love that song :D Run to the Hills is pretty cool too :thumb:

thanks for your suggestions i will go and have a listen ;)

[ashman]

Another conversion :lol:

Has anyone heard the BLAZE (The band) version of SOTC? It's pretty good, I like it. It's got a different feel to it, not as dark; more Guitar soloey :lol:

[Firecracker]

Iron Maiden aren't for download this year, they're playing in switzerland over the download weekend. 'Tis a shame.

[Firecracker]

I GOT POWERSLAVE!
: partay:
:cool:
Oh you beast, that's a great cd.

[supreme maidenite]

i heard rumours they were coming download - guess they arent true

[IAJP]

I've been listening to Iron Maiden since I got up at 9:00am today, till right now,
I'm listening to Invaders :cool:

[Firecracker]

Invaders is such a great song.
But 'Prisoner' oh so much better. :)

[supreme maidenite]

ive been listening to 7th son and live at donnigton 92 - i think its fantastic especially afraid to shoot strangers

[IAJP]

Invaders is such a great song.
But 'Prisoner' oh so much better. :)
My three favourite songs off that album:
#1:Hallowed Be Thy Name
#2:The Prisoner
#3:Invaders
It's an amazing album, allthough I prefer their debut :eek:

[ForiegnPenguin]

I've always had a thing for Children of the ****ed.

[AB/CD]

i think gangland is the best song off that album

[ForiegnPenguin]

Its a descent song but most people will say it is the worst or second worst to we-all-know-what.

[IAJP]

To be honest,
I can't really say what I like most.
But obviously Run To The Hills would be up there no doubt.

[AB/CD]

ill tell u hwat i hate polls asking the best maiden song is or any band for that matter. they r all pointless cos its all based on opinion same with best of the beast and edward the great that was prob based on record sales or votes by fans or something they shoulda just put steve an all in a room and said pick your fave songs or something then it owulda been more interesting than having the same songs on 2 best ofs

[thelittledrummerboy]

Yay! What do you guys think of Live at Donnington 92?

Theres bout 3 good songs on it. It starts off with a bang with "Be quick or be Dead" but the guitar playing just seems a wee bit sloppy and theres just not the same atmosphere a others such as Rio but don't get me started on that again.

[shadow_stalker]

does anyone have the re-released version of number of the beast? also if you have is there anything different?

i have the vynal but havnt listen to it


sorry for bringing up an oldish topic

[scream_for_me_brazil]

I hate this, I can only get on here once a week, and then I'm miles behind on the topics :-(

I didn't know they had re-released Number Of The Beast? When did they do it?

[shadow_stalker]

couple of weeks ago i think

[FlamaSam]

Another conversion :lol:

Has anyone heard the BLAZE (The band) version of SOTC? It's pretty good, I like it. It's got a different feel to it, not as dark; more Guitar soloey :lol:

YES! My fav song, was it I who sent that to you?
the solos in the end are :amaze:
the harmonies sound so much better on that version!

[Stevie]

Sotc?

[IAJP]

I've only heard C.O.B cover a Maiden song, I didn't like it, personally.

[scream_for_me_brazil]

How good is Powerslave? I aint got it and it seems like a lot of people like it

[IAJP]

I like it more than NOTB,
It has Two Minutes To Midnight, Rhyme Of The Ancient Mariner and Aces High, reason enough to get it.
But, if you go on www.ironmaiden.com you can download a minute snippet of every Maiden track.
It's an amazing album alright :)

[shadow_stalker]

How good is Powerslave? I aint got it and it seems like a lot of people like it

its pretty good, not really their best but still worth getting :thumb:

[scream_for_me_brazil]

Hmmm ok I'm gonna have to get it.

[IAJP]

Yeah,
download those three tracks (Two Minutes To Midnight, Rhyme Of The Ancient Mariner and Aces High) they're deffinitley highlights :thumb: :)

[Stevie]

* Rime!

[IAJP]

* Rime!
:(
Sorry man,
:lol:

[ForiegnPenguin]

Don't forget the title track.

[IAJP]

Yeah I suppose that is pretty good in it's own right.
But it just doesn't stand up to those three.
I got my Powerslave from music zone for £6.99, but in H.M.V (right next to it) it was £16.99.
Surely one of the worst marketing blunders ever?
:confused:

[Arucard]

Lol. HMV has loads of great cds, ie. Symphony X : The Oddesy, but they are 17 quid or somt.

[shadow_stalker]

Lol. HMV has loads of great cds, ie. Symphony X : The Oddesy, but they are 17 quid or somt.

music zone has maiden, sabbath, ozzy and metallica cds for about £5

but they dont have as big range as hmv :upset:


EDIT: sorry didnt read previous post

[FlamaSam]

insiders knowledge :P
i used to work in HMV (up till last month) and they did have some maiden CD's for £5.99 and others for near £18, the reason...there's no good one, but they have 4 sales in a year each, and sometimes they don't sell so you'll see the same CD for 3 different prices all next to eachother...though i bought all mine from the sales using my discount, spent £20 on 5 CD's! (No Prayer, Fear, 7th Son, DoD and Somewhere in Time!)
:D

oh and SOTC is SIGN OF THE CROSS!

[IAJP]

Woah, really?
That's hillarious!
:lol:

[ashman]

YES! My fav song, was it I who sent that to you?
the solos in the end are :amaze:
the harmonies sound so much better on that version!

Yeah you sent it to me, but I got the 'As live as it gets' Album on tuesday...

So...who would win in a fight?? Blaze, Paul or Bruce (No fencing swords allowed :thumb: )

[IAJP]

Paul,
he was a punk, punks=agressiveness
:lol:

[rik]

Yeah you sent it to me, but I got the 'As live as it gets' Album on tuesday...

So...who would win in a fight?? Blaze, Paul or Bruce (No fencing swords allowed :thumb: )
Hmmm, I would say Blaze.

[IAJP]

God,
I love "Running Free" so much..

[ashman]

God,
I love "Running Free" so much..

It is a good song, but it branded Maiden as 'long haired punks', which isn't good :upset:

[Wolferinn]

Can anyone tell me what's so good about "Iron Maiden"? Ive heard 3 good songs with them.

[ForiegnPenguin]

What songs?

Buy Number of the Beast, Powerslave, Piece of Mind, Somwhere in Time, Self-title, or Killers and you will find out.

[MAthiAS]

Can anyone tell me what's so good about "Iron Maiden"? Ive heard 3 good songs with them.
Best basslines, well, ever. Killer guitar melodies. A vocalist with incredible range and talent. And... a drummer that fits the music. Go listen to The Trooper and you'll hear basically all these elements.

[GurS]

yes...

who knows.. they might even check in at the Rainbow and play there... ;)


it's been closed for years now :(

another slice of metal history gone.

madien played at the pub near my school in the 70's, but that's closed down now too :upset:

[GurS]

Oh, and Powerslave (song) > 2 minutes

[oliv_da_skinmasher]

any of you guys out there going to see them in paris??? i am n i can't wait

[Josh]

nope. :( hopefully somewhere in the UK. i think ashman said he was going to paris but ive got a feeling im wrong and i cant be bothered to read back about 20 pages

[IAJP]

Same here,
I'm crossing my fingers for a definite U.K tour.

[Josh]

yeh, a proper UK tour would be great, then i wouldnt have to travel to a festival. and it would be cheaper.

[supreme maidenite]

same hope they come to homeland uk

[rik]

nope. :( hopefully somewhere in the UK. i think ashman said he was going to paris but ive got a feeling im wrong and i cant be bothered to read back about 20 pages
Yer i think it was ashman that said that, could be wrong, but I also can't be bothered to check.

[IAJP]

Does anyone like Holy Smoke?
That's probbably one of Steve Harris' most tounge in cheek lyrics, I think.

[Josh]

its one of my favourite songs. i have it as my ringtone.

[supreme maidenite]

i like holy smoke

[supreme maidenite]

i like the lyrics alot in holysmoke aswell

[Stevie]

We just got to keep a lookout, there could be UK tour dates announced soon.

[IAJP]

Amazing, amazing.
My ringtone is the little harmonized solo part from "2 Minutes To Midnight"
:cool:

Sure, I love Holy smoke, but in my opinion something better could've taken its place on the Edward the great cd.

Aces High or Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, for example.
I'm not a huge fan of that Greatest Hits, a double disc set would have suited Maiden better methinks..

Yer, exactly the songs I was thinking along with POTO.

Yeah. Every Maiden album has some amazing songs that wouldn't be put on a greatest hits of theirs ever though.

[IAJP]

Yer, exactly the songs I was thinking along with POTO.
Hmm..
Off the first album, the song I would choose to represent Maiden at their best would probbably be: Phantom Of The Opera or Prowler.
It's hard to choose because the Di'Anno era Maiden are so much different to the Dickinson and Bailey era Maiden.
Just as a silly side note, which Maiden Guitarist do you think is the coolest?
For me, It has to be: Adrian Smith.
MAN does he rule :lol:

[ashman]

nope. :( hopefully somewhere in the UK. i think ashman said he was going to paris but ive got a feeling im wrong and i cant be bothered to read back about 20 pages

I was gonna see them in paris, but the plans sort of fell through...you know how things are. The Bastards at the SLC decided not to give me my full uni loan ('cos they screwed up), my mum wants back dated rent and the person I was supposed to be going to Paris with hasn't spoked to me for a while...so :upset:


Has anyone heard the B-side Mission from 'Arry? It's supposed to be Steve and Nicko having an argument after Nicko punched a Roadie and Bruce recorded it without them knowing :lol:

[ashman]

Coolest Guitarist would easily be Davey, I mean he is always smiling...he is like the Fonz, but happier :thumb:

[IAJP]

:lol:
I'll have to download that, it sounds classic :lol:

Dave has a brilliantly babyish face.
But look at Adrian Smith!
He's so cool, if he was my dad...MAN :cool:

[ashman]

I actually change my mind, Adrian is the coolest; he did have a mullet in 1988... :)

[IAJP]

The picture in the DOD booklet is the epitomy of cool.

Hehe, Dave would fit right in on the folk scene. I bet he has Tony Rose's entire back catalogue.

Everytime he goes into a solo he always has a look on his face which says "I didn't know my fingers could do that!" (and I have one which says "I wish my fingers could do that")

i think he looks more like he just had his *** felt

[thelittledrummerboy]

There all good in there own way i think-
Dave for his smile
Janick for his energy &
Adrian for his style and amazing stage presence

[Last Ditch Effort]

I don't think that song has one, it just ends with Paul screaming "Torture me back at ya lair!"
Actually the Enhanced CD that I own just ends...but originally it does end with that wicked line...i don't understand why they would take it out.

[YDload]

He says it once to close out with the music, then there's a pause, and then he says it again without any other instruments.

That second time is heard on every copy of the song I've ever gotten off the Internet, but on the actual album it's missing!

[Lord Abortion]

bloody hell I missed alot...
four pages in two days!
anyhoo...
paul is too fat to win in a fight and bruce is to small
I have the feeling that blaze might win as he is pretty muscular...

[Thunder Fingers]

[Stevie]

Blazes eyes would be too far apart.

[Josh]

that means nothing to me as i dont have a clue what blaze looks like. oh well. did anyone other than me read the maiden thing in kerrang?

[Lord Abortion]

I was listening to a thing with Bill Oddie (English birdwatcher and T.V documentarian for Eddie's benefit) on the radio last night and thought it was Bruce

[Josh]

I was gonna put Running Free instead of Transylvania.


What I'm annoyed about is the fact that their debut isn't on Eddie The Great :confused: :angry:

[shadow_stalker]

edward the great is a very **** album though, didnt even have hallowed be thy name on

[Thunder Fingers]

Phantom of the opera
Prowler
Charlotte the Harlot

****.. i forgot charlotte.. sory Iron Maiden.. i like charlotte more :p

[Stevie]

I'm sick of Iron Maiden, I prefer the more progressive songs,

Phantom Of The Opera
Strange World
Remember Tomorrow

[Josh]

hmm favourite songs off the S/T...
phantom of the opera
strange world
prowler

[ForiegnPenguin]

Remember Tommorow
Prowler
Charlotte the Harlot
Phantom of the Opera

[Josh]

I was gonna put Running Free instead of Transylvania.

there is no di'anno on the edward the great at all, which is a downside. also, its nearly all singles (except FotD at RiR), so you miss out on a lot of good songs.

but it was my first maiden album, and its still good.

[the_uber_penguin]

Our brave new Woooooooooooorllllllllllllld!

Has anyone read that book?

It's so good.

[murderintheruemourge]

Iron Maiden is the greatest band of all time Murray and Smith are great, so is Gers and Harris. The riffs are great and the bass lines are just as good. The Lyrics make you think, and Di'anno and Bruce are Awesome.
I like Di'anno best, who's w/ me.
My favorite songs in order are:
1. Purgatory
2. Phantom of the Opera
3. Murders in the Rue Mourge
4. Powerslave
5. Invaders

[YDload]

^ This kid's gonna kill himself when he learns how "morgue" is spelled.

[evil ernie]

I recorded the first 30 sec of Back in the Village, thought some of you guys would like to hear it. I think it sounds pretty good :naughty:

http://fileserv5.soundclick.com/fastk6/HiG/evilernie+backinthevillageintro.mp3

Speaking of the self title album, I really like Strange World. I wish Maiden would have written more balads, I also really like Prodigal Son and most of the ballads Bruce wrote for his solo albums. Oh and I like Journeyman as well.

[icebase]

I dont really like Di'anno too much as a singer. Rather have Bruce any day. Edward the Great Album was alright. It has quite alot of the classics on it but it dosnt deserve the title Edward the great since its only an average album.

[Josh]

^ This kid's gonna kill himself when he learns how "morgue" is spelled.
yeh well he made the effort.

i like di'anno's singing, although bruce is better. di'anno's style was better suited to ther first albums.

[icebase]

For some songs yea but i just couldn stand his voice for some of the stuff he was singing. I'm just hopeing maiden will be around for a very long time. Has anyone seen that maiden tribute band thats made from girls. I say well done to them but really it's funny to see them play. I'll get a link in a bit for you guys.

[Josh]

maiden tribute band of girls....mmmmm.....lol. the iron maidens?

and who's heard of mcbrain damage?

[icebase]

Here man try this. the one second in from the right looks like a man and they she's a woman. :rolleyes:

[URL=www.ironmaiden.com/homepage.php?section=0&subsection=0[/URL]

Just copy it into the URL bar.

[Josh]

maiden website is blocked at school because its apparently porn.

[icebase]

ahhh mm have to think about this one. Where could i post a pic where you could see it. Geocities? Are you blocked from there?

[Josh]

i dont know, only some of them i think.

[icebase]

Right try this one its just a wee bit down on the page.

[Josh]

nice...........

[icebase]

So you seen them then? man the only decent looking one is the one on the far right. Then the one to the left of her is a dog.

[Thunder Fingers]

maiden website is blocked at school because its apparently porn.

Eddie is truly sexy, but COME ON!

[icebase]

Yea man. **** on iron maiden.com. Whats next eddie throwing sex partys? :eek:

[Thunder Fingers]

:lol:

[icebase]

Dude have the uk maiden tour dates been anounced anywhere? Need to know if and when they are going to be.

[Josh]

[Lord Abortion]

1. strange world
2. remember tomorrow
3. Iron maiden

[shadow_stalker]

Dude have the uk maiden tour dates been anounced anywhere? Need to know if and when they are going to be.

they werent on the maiden site last night so...

[Josh]

just keep waiting.

[shadow_stalker]

that really pisses me of how the maiden site is banned for pornography :angry:

[Stevie]

http://www.iron-maiden.ru/photos/nicko/88nicko02.jpg

Well...

[Josh]

just what i wanted to see just after eating my dinner......

[shadow_stalker]

that was just plain wrong

i have been scared for life :upset:

[Stevie]

MuHAHAH

[Josh]

that really was sick posting that. although GurS would like it :naughty:

[icebase]

Man that was just wrong. Was that on the maiden site?
Mabye eddie might throw that sex party!!! :( :eek:

[shadow_stalker]

i hope he was drunk, but then again it was Nicko so

[IAJP]

I dont really like Di'anno too much as a singer. Rather have Bruce any day. Edward the Great Album was alright. It has quite alot of the classics on it but it dosnt deserve the title Edward the great since its only an average album.
What I don't understand is this:
Why not expand Edward The Great, into a double disc greatest hits?
That, would be great, to be honest Maiden deserve a double disc album and a single doesn't do them any justice whatsoever.


And the last Maiden song I listened to was Transylvania in I.C.T today :p

The last album was Iron Maiden, which I have rediscovered, and I love it :)

[Stevie]

I listened to Seventh Son....today and I don't know...

People say it's a classic and their best album. No.. I found it to be good, but failed in comparison the Somewhere In Time, and I can see a decline in SSOASS. There are good songs on there, mainly the middle 3 and Only the good die young. The rest just arn't very good.

[IAJP]

The Clairvoyant is awesome,
as is The Prophet.

[shadow_stalker]

anyone heard the cover maiden did of sabbath bloody sabbath? it's really good, im not sure weather its blaze or di'anno singing though

EDIT: apparently it isn't maiden but it is bruce dickinson singing for godsmack

[IAJP]

:eek:
I'll have to download that.

[shadow_stalker]

if you have msn i could send you it

[IAJP]

:upset: I have 56.K...:upset:
