Iron Maiden

[IAJP]

Steve Harris, is, in my opinion, the greatest metal songwriter of all time.
And I've been listening to hella Powerslave today, the title track is the shiz'

[IAJP]

yeah i noticed that when i was looking in the iron maiden and killers album books. One with a tshirt over his head too like Cornholio out of Beavis and Butthead.
He has to be probbably the happiest man ever to live :lol:.
Has anyone got "Live After Death" ?
I just got it..and I'm listening to the 8:00+ version of Running Free.
:amaze:

[Thunder Fingers]

The trooper is a cool bassline. I can play "The clairvoyant" pretty good and "sign of the cross". Other songs include "iron maiden" and most of "Fear of the Dark". Steve harris is a hell of a bassist, some of the bass lines he creates are just nuts. :p :naughty:

i can play Phantom of the opera and Rime of the ancient mariner...


PWN! :lol:

J/K(i can play them though...)

[IAJP]

What would you say you prefer?
Phantom Of The Opera, Powerslave, Rime Of The Ancient Mariner or Dance Of Death?



:thinks:
I might go along with saying Powerslave..

[Josh]

hmmm...dance of death is pretty cool. but i'd probably say powerslave, its way cooler, and the lyrics are darker (IMO)

[IAJP]

Do you feel the kinda eastern(ish) riff with the sliding guitar?
That's so bloody awesome.

[Josh]

yeh it is.
ARGH! EUROPE - THE FINAL COUNTDOWN JUST CYCLED UP ON WINAMP!

*puts powerslave on instead

[IAJP]

:lol:
Cheesiest song ever

[Josh]

yeh, i dont even know why its on my computer.

[IAJP]

It's a pretty funny retro toon.

[Josh]

meh. anyway im bored so im gonna go play Call of duty.

[IAJP]

:wave: seeya dude.

[the_uber_penguin]

yeh it is.
ARGH! EUROPE - THE FINAL COUNTDOWN JUST CYCLED UP ON WINAMP!

*puts powerslave on instead

When I record my bands version of that, I'll have to post the link to it in here.

[ashman]

Has anyone noticed in nearly every Maiden booklet that comes with the C.D, there's nearly allways a picture of Dave Murray holding a can of larger smiling?
:lol:

C'mon, it's rude not to have a picture of Dave with lager, it's like Dave not smilling :O.

[supreme maidenite]

C'mon, it's rude not to have a picture of Dave with lager, it's like Dave not smilling :O.
lol ye

[Josh]

in one of the inserts there is also a picture of dave almost exposing his genitals, which is just kind of wrong.

PWN! :lol:

J/K(i can play them though...)
nice one. Phantom of the opera nice example of a steve harris epic ;)

but rime of the ancient mariner is even more an epic. :thumb:

[Lord Abortion]

3rd page ...? *shakes head in disgust*

SOTC is my favourite steve epic
the rime comes a close second though

[the_uber_penguin]

Dream Of Mirrors is 9:30 sommat. Can that count as an epic?

Well, I don't know why but I love that song...and can play ALL of it...

Nearly...

**** you and your guitar pwnage, Dave :upset:

[Lord Abortion]

Bugger!

forgot DOM...

[Cowboy from hell]

yeh it is.
ARGH! EUROPE - THE FINAL COUNTDOWN JUST CYCLED UP ON WINAMP!

*puts powerslave on instead

The first Rock song i actually heard lol, my childhood memories in a 3wheeler listening to Europe LMAO hehe *sighs*

[shadow_stalker]

i like the final countdown, its cool

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah they looked really metal too...
or tried to

[shadow_stalker]

meh it was around the times of hair metal

[ashman]

Dream Of Mirrors is 9:30 sommat. Can that count as an epic?

Well, I don't know why but I love that song...and can play ALL of it...

Nearly...

**** you and your guitar pwnage, Dave :upset:


Psst...Janick is the lead on that song... :thumb:


And don't any of you ever insult hair metal...There is nothing wrong in donning some spandex and using loads of hair spray...

[ashman]

Thanks to all who +repped me, I have to spread more rep...

[kurt98]

TELL ME WHY I HAD TO BE A POWERSLAVE! heheh i love that song :D

[IAJP]

I DON'T WANNA DIE!
That live>me.
In fact, that song>me
:D

[shadow_stalker]

did anyone watch that heavy metal programm that Bruce did?

(i think it was on discovary channel or something like that)


i missed it :upset:

[IAJP]

Yeah, it was pretty interesting.
Not essential though

[shadow_stalker]

damn i was hoping that it would be **** so i didnt miss anything good :upset:

[Josh]

to the_uber _penguin: no i cant send you the picture, i dont have it on my computer. its in the insert of the self-titled album.

dammit! still no UK tour dates!

[ashman]

Yeah, it was pretty interesting.
Not essential though


Did Bruce sing "Aces High" on the plane tannoy? :naughty:

[Josh]

damn i was hoping that it would be **** so i didnt miss anything good :upset:

i havent watched any of it, ive missed 2 shows i think. i just thought he looked funny in a pilots uniform on the picture from the show on the maiden website.

[shadow_stalker]

dammit! still no UK tour dates!

yeah i just checked for dates about an hour ago

maybe they won't play in the uk :eek:

[Josh]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo dont you dare say that!

[shadow_stalker]

you may have to accept it

but considering they are from england i doubt that they would leave us without a tour...but then again


EDIT: i said it :lol:

[Josh]

meh, they might suddenly announce a huge UK tour - that would be class.

[shadow_stalker]

they sould spend like 3 months touring the uk, and play newcastle a few times

[Josh]

yeh that would be great. except the show might get repetitive. but so what...you'd know what songs were coming up

[shadow_stalker]

well they change the set list for each time they played the same place

[Josh]

now that would be worth paying about £75 for - seeing them 3 times with 3 different setlists.

[shadow_stalker]

yep, hmm i wonder where i could get £75 from :lol:

oh well i guess it will never happen, just as long as they play newcastle

[Josh]

yeh. anyway im off now, seeya

[the_uber_penguin]

Maiden to play the London Astoria would class...

I would be amazed if they do the Greenday thing...

PICK ME!!!

[Thunder Fingers]

Greenday? i heard about SUM 41... but i live in norway, we tend often to NOT get the same opening band as rest of europe..:p last time we got Arch Enemey..

[rik]

Greenday? i heard about SUM 41... but i live in norway, we tend often to NOT get the same opening band as rest of europe..:p last time we got Arch Enemey..
Arch enemy? great support band. I don't think he was talking about Greenday supporting though, I think it's something to do with them pulling up members from the crowd to come onstage.

[Thunder Fingers]

my mistake.. i realy dont pay attention anymore in here :p

[the_uber_penguin]

:thumb:

Greenday supporting Iron Maiden :rolleyes:

I don't see it happening. I'm not sure how long Greenday would last...

If they did, it would be worth ANY price to go see (Loves Greenday nearly as much as Maiden)

EDIT: Although that's not what I tell the pop-punk forum

[YDload]

Sum 41 supporting Iron Maiden would be awesome though. You can tell how much influence Maiden has had on them; it shows up every once in a while in short songs like "Pain for Pleasure" or "Grab the Devil By the Horns and **** Him In the ***."

The only reason Sum 41 can't do the Maiden thing is because their bassist uses a pick. Well, he's not that great anyway, but the plectrum really inhibits his ability to play classic Maiden style. I guess they'll just have to stick to Metallica covers.

[Josh]

sum41 arent that bad, all killer no filler was the first "proper" album i bought, as in not just pop. well actually it was the first album i ever bought.
so them supporting maiden would be cool.

also, cone the guitarist for sum41 wears a maiden t-shirt in one of the videos.

[ashman]

Anything would be better then FFAF*....worst band ever...


*Intechangeable with Greenday

[Josh]

green day > FFAF
i like green day, i have 2 of their albums. i have 6 maiden, 5 RHCP, 5 metallica, 2 green day, 1 black sabbath, 1 ozzy osbourne, 1 sum41, 1 ash, i travis (yes random!), 1 alkaline trio

That ain't many albums :O

[Josh]

i know. i missed off guns n roses as well. i have 26. that doesnt include my copies though. i dont buy that many cds, just borrow off friends and save to computer mostly.

[GurS]

Powerslave didn't go through to round three :(

[Josh]

nooooooooooooooo

did NOTB go through?

[Thunder Fingers]

Powerslave didn't go through to round three :(

all thanks to the maiden posers... :mad:

[Dannyboy15]

I hope Floyd can take it all now.

[lovegunner]

did anyone else hear that Maiden is going to be headlining at Ozzfest? it's going to be a world tour, so all the non-americans out there, you'll get your chance. \m/ up the irons\m/ :evil:

That's just a rumor.

[vashts80]

I wish Maiden would do a US tour and not just a few dates scattered across like last year, where they did a few NY dates and that was it (I think anyway)

[Huber]

I went to a Maiden concert last year and I live in California. So I guess it wasn't just NY.

[Dannyboy15]

They just did NY and L.A.

[icebase]

I wish Maiden would do a US tour and not just a few dates scattered across like last year, where they did a few NY dates and that was it (I think anyway)

Wha. You americans usualy get the most dates so maiden are cutting down and arer going to include the uk alot more cause they dont get that many gigs and it is their home country and all.

[the_uber_penguin]

'Cept they haven't announced UK dates yet.

(And I have no money to buy tickets if they did)

[icebase]

Ha i do. I have my own little ironmaiden fund. Its fun. I just put money into the bank and its that much of a hassle to take it out i just dont toutch it. You should try it. Worked for me.

[ashman]

Ha i do. I have my own little ironmaiden fund. Its fun. I just put money into the bank and its that much of a hassle to take it out i just dont toutch it. You should try it. Worked for me.

That worked for me until I bought a new guitar :upset: I only have about £100 for Maiden now :upset: well until I get paid on the 4th of April...

[Lord Abortion]

Maiden is worth all my money

all mine is going on a new computer and concerts and my fund for metal T-Shirts

[icebase]

That worked for me until I bought a new guitar :upset: I only have about £100 for Maiden now :upset: well until I get paid on the 4th of April...

Ha. hmm might need a new bass soon and i have something like £700. Might get a new phone too. hmmm so much money and i dont know what to do with it. So what's up in the ashman world?

[icebase]

Sum 41 supporting Iron Maiden would be awesome though. You can tell how much influence Maiden has had on them; it shows up every once in a while in short songs like "Pain for Pleasure" or "Grab the Devil By the Horns and **** Him In the ***."

First yea i agree the maiden bassist needs to get rid of the plectrum. But sum 41 are sh*t. When they start taking maiden songs and doing covers of them i'll kill something.

[shadow_stalker]

Maiden is worth all my money

all mine is going on a new computer and concerts and my fund for metal T-Shirts

you not getting anything new for your drums?

[Lord Abortion]

maybe toms
I need more to play the middle fill from Iron maiden properly

[shadow_stalker]

Sum 41 supporting Iron Maiden would be awesome though

i would love to throw bottles at Sum 41 :lol:

[Lord Abortion]

i would love to throw bottles at Sum 41 :lol:
that would be fun
they suck balls :wave:

[shadow_stalker]

still better than funeral fo a friend

how much did it cost last time they played newcastle?

[icebase]

I would love to chuck fuppin bricks at both those bands!

[Lord Abortion]

still better than funeral fo a friend

how much did it cost last time they played newcastle?
20 pounds i believe

[shadow_stalker]

that seems a little harsh, but it would be fun

maiden shouldnt have support acts they should just play 3 or 4 hours by themselves

[shadow_stalker]

20 pounds i believe

well worth it, i should have gone last time :upset:

[icebase]

that seems a little harsh, but it would be fun

maiden shouldnt have support acts they should just play 3 or 4 hours by themselves

Not harsh at all. Sum 41 tried to destroy rock and make it into ****. I wish they would just piss off back were they went to. Has anyone heard anything by fightstar yet?

[Lord Abortion]

Not harsh at all. Sum 41 tried to destroy rock and make it into ****. I wish they would just piss off back were they went to. Has anyone heard anything by fightstar yet?
no that would be gay- listening to fightstar
or are you being ironic?? :confused:


ps not homophobic

[icebase]

no that would be gay- listening to fightstar
or are you being ironic?? :confused:


ps not homophobic

Im not saying they aqre good but the drummer is!!!! Charlie can go fup his young bassist and other guitarist. But the drummr is good and he's also fat and when he drums his t*i*t*s fly everywhere. I mean it i thought they were goin to knock his front teeth out. :lol:

ps not homophobic aswell. :thumb:

[Lord Abortion]

nah it's just when you say "that's gay"
people accuse you of being homophobic

[icebase]

nah it's just when you say "that's gay"
people accuse you of being homophobic

Fair enough. But still Fight star are pritty "GAY" in the non-homophobic way and the non happy way. :confused:

[Lord Abortion]

So... your cat avatar- explain please

also Ashes in my mouth by Megadeth sounds like Aces High or am I going mad?

[icebase]

Retarded cat caught in a flash!!

Hmm have to look into that but either way i'll listen to it.

[shadow_stalker]

i've heard fightstar they are balls :angry:

but an improvement from busted

[Josh]

well another maiden date has been announced...for june 7th, ICELAND. dammit announce UK tour dates!!!

[ashman]

Looks like Iceland are more importand then merry olde Englande....*sigh*

[ashman]

Ha. hmm might need a new bass soon and i have something like £700. Might get a new phone too. hmmm so much money and i dont know what to do with it. So what's up in the ashman world?

Ashman's life has been pretty great lately...

I'm moving out into my new Maiden pad, it's gonna 'kin sweet 'cos there is one of the best Venues (and pubs, pound a pint, need I say anymore?) in my city around the corner, so when my band kicks off we can gig there easily.

I've been listening to a lot of Cradle of Filth lately, I'm starting to hear bits of Maiden in a lot of their songs...weird.

[Josh]

i have a dislike of cradle of filth - no particular reason, their music just doesnt appeal to me. i'm getting more into black sabbath though.
also, i just borrowed dragonforce - sonic firestorm from a friend, its one ****ing amazing album.

[Dannyboy15]

First yea i agree the maiden bassist needs to get rid of the plectrum. But sum 41 are sh*t. When they start taking maiden songs and doing covers of them i'll kill something.

I think you read that wrong. He meant cone from sum 41 needs to lose the pick. Steve HArris never EVER uses picks, just very low action and very bright flatwouds.

I wouldn't mind seeing sum 41 with maiden. The sums play metallica songs better than metallica does.

[rik]

****ing hell, what an album. Guess who was listening to it a year before it came out?.....yer, my uncles good mates with Adrian :smoke:

That's what I wanted to say, thanks. I'd wager that Sum 41 is the best -nay- the ONLY good band of their genre. Really!

[Vipers-Dream]

Iron Maiden are the only good band of the eighties..... except genesis. Iron Maiden was unlike every other band from their time period, they were alot more 70's ish than everyone else.

[The Clansman...secrets]

Iron Maiden wasn't the ONLY good band of the 80s. I mean, you ever heard of G3? Or howzabout Yngwie Malmsteen. Iron Maiden was the BESTEST band of the 80s. Now yer gettin' something. Well, I just purchased Fear of the Dark. I can see why it debuted at Number One. The entire album is friggin' amazing...*drool*

[YDload]

ATTENTION!

There is a thread in the Pit about the 2005 Ozzfest lineup, and Maiden apparently on the main stage. Don't listen to it! There are no links to any official stories in the thread, so it's probably still a bunch of crap.

Just don't go wandering into the Pit and getting your hopes up, is all I'm saying.

[Lord Abortion]

wow ... slow today
anyhoo... Megadeth is keeping most of my music life concentrated on them because of the gig tomorrow and maiden has kinda taken a back seat for a while
but at least they get to make wanker signs at elderly drivers and moon their arses out of the window...

Heh...
cradle are brilliant
the most literary band I have heard
See any other band involved in the better use of the english language stuff?
nah didn't think so

[the_uber_penguin]

Heh...

nah didn't think so

Erm...Iron Maiden?

[Lord Abortion]

no it's an official organisation Ican't remember what they are called something like
"the campaign for the better use of the Enlish language"
that cradle are involved in
and I meant besides maiden in literary terms
see the rime and to tame a land

[icebase]

Heh...
cradle are brilliant

Wha. Man chill out i only said that they have one of the most freaky songs in the world if you play it backwards.

[Lord Abortion]

what do you mean chill out?
I wasn't angry....

[icebase]

Look link time....

http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/end.php

[atremore]

To link Cradle Of Filth to Iron Maiden...

Hmm... they are both very melodic bands, and both use very "researched" (for want of a better term) lyrics... both are pretty cheesy too! Hahahahaha... ha.

[Thunder Fingers]

english guys... stop yer cryin'!

ah **** that means I have to listen to all the other wank before maiden come on...

first you whine about them NOT playing UK, and now its wrong that they do?!

[Lord Abortion]

ok calmed down now...

It's just i'll have to go to download AND Leeds and that takes alot of organisation and time and it would be easier if maiden played at download
that's all...

[steveharris]

Wow, this thread is really long. I never knew there were so many Maiden fans out there! When I first started playing guitar, I built all of my metal chops from maiden. I remember getting piece of mind when it first came out and was completly blown away by the riffing on it. I had never heard anything so heavy in my life! I quickly picked up beast, killers, iron maiden and maiden japan. At one point, I could throw on any of those records (yes, I still have them on vinyl) and jam with any of the songs. By the time 7th son came out, I had almost everything they had ever done (singles, live stuff, demos, bootlegs, picture discs)....including some stuff only released in england. I became a little disenfranchised on no prayer and unfortunately lost interest in anything new of theirs because of it. So I guess I'm just a classic maiden fan. I remember spending hours practicing trills just trying to match dave murrays lead work. Murray/Smith will always be the greatest metal duo for me! :thumb:

[Josh]

ok, according to www.reading-festival.org.uk maiden are headlining there this year...

[jamiechalm]

First post in MF for about 2 years!!! Anywho, going to see Maiden in Paris in June 25th... Gonna be awesome...

[Lord Abortion]

meh I will see them this year
be it at a festival or on tour
maybe both...

[Thunder Fingers]

X2...

but i still havent gone mad at the band for not playing where YOU want it to play... i had been happy to se em anywhere... bvut i got an pretty big musical horizon, so i can take the most :p

[Josh]

Uh does anyone get confuesd between "sack-man" and "ashman"?
nope :thumb:

and eddie at this time, you are a very lucky guy. until i get a ticket for a UK gig. then i stop being quite as jealous.

Pfft no...


My views on the topic of gigs is the same as Ashmans :naughty:

heh heh heh heh.

Does anybody have a proper tab (bass) for Blood Brothers? All the ones I've found (the two on mx especially) don't sound right...could be me, though.

Edit: On another note, imo

Blaze's rendition of "Afraid to Shoot Strangers" > Bruce's rendition of it (Blaze's live version on Best of the Beast and various live boots from after Bruce left)

Blaze's rendition of "Afraid to Shoot Strangers" > Bruce's rendition of it (Blaze's live version on Best of the Beast and various live boots from after Bruce left)

You're so lucky i'm nice.

^ I think the bass follows through the entire song.. doesnt it? (i think its time for me to listen to that album again...)

[Dannyboy15]

Okay that version is much better. The bass does play throught the song.

[Dannyboy15]

It's a **** good DVD. it also comes with 3 live concerts. one with D'anno and two with Bruce. The documentry is astounding as well. I can't wait for Vol 2.

[Thunder Fingers]

Bloody newbies. I bet you a pund to the penny (old english term) that it is them newones!!! :angry:

[ashman]

No Dates yet...

[Dannyboy15]

I wouldn't plan on seeing anything till 06...sadly.

[Josh]

why not until 2006? you mean you wont go and see them this year unless they play near you?

[ashman]

why not until 2006? you mean you wont go and see them this year unless they play near you?

Could be talking about when/if they tour with new material...

[Dannyboy15]

Well i'm not going to Europe to go see them. If they do go to the USA they most likely will go to L.A. So it's near me.

I'm guesstimating late 05-06

[Josh]

ah. i live in the UK which means i should be able to see them at leeds, its 2 hours drive away.

[Dannyboy15]

Then you most likely will. GIve a review when you come back, though that'll be months from now I believe..

[ashman]

Well i'm not going to Europe to go see them. If they do go to the USA they most likely will go to L.A. So it's near me.

I think this tour will finish by August, it's not going to be a mammoth jobby like they usually do.

[ashman]

ah. i live in the UK which means i should be able to see them at leeds, its 2 hours drive away.

Where abouts do you live? It takes about an hour to get to Leeds from where I live

[Josh]

northumberland, in the middle of nowhere. well actually in a village 35 miles from newcastle. i think its 2 hours drive to Leeds anyway.

Cool, I live in Sunny ol' Hull :thumb:

Has anyone seen Bruce cam on the Maiden site? It's cool

[Josh]

shadow_stalker and Lord Abortion both live about 20 miles from me, we're all at the same school.

where abouts is the bruce cam? (on the site)

700th post wooo! :chug:

[shadow_stalker]

i didnt realise that it was 20 miles :eek:

oh well,i looked but couldnt find the bruce cam thing (didnt look very hard)

[Josh]

i found it. its in the videos section. its interesting how the sound changes as he moves to different parts of the stage, i'd never really thought about that happening before.

[shadow_stalker]

took to long to load, will watch it later if i can remember

[GurS]

Howdy, How's Mr. Gur?


not bad, I am SO going to Reading this year. Tis gonna RAWK!


\m/

[Josh]

took to long to load, will watch it later if i can remember
its worth waiting for.

and its possibly more than 20 to yours from mine, its 17 to school and then about 5 miles more i think, maybe more.

[shadow_stalker]

its half way done, it sounds weird when he is walking around and the sound changes

/late

[Lord Abortion]

Hello all back from rattling my head last night that was incredible not quite as good as maiden but bloody close!
diamond head were infinitely better than Funeral for a stupid emo crap friend
meh... will have to try and go to two festivals Leeds and download will cost alot of money but sabbath at download and maiden at leeds is gonna be brilliant

[ashman]

i found it. its in the videos section. its interesting how the sound changes as he moves to different parts of the stage, i'd never really thought about that happening before.

That's because of the Monitors. Those speakers just feed the guys their own instrument so they know if they screw up or not...

[supreme maidenite]

maiden headlining leeds this year!

[MAthiAS]

Everyone go vote Maiden in the album polls... I went NOTB.

[shadow_stalker]

sorry already voted

has anyone noticed that the music videos on ironmaiden.com aren't that good, maybe its my computer but they are all...pixely

[vashts80]

That's because they're compressed to a certain point where people on 56k could download them in a few minutes

[Dannyboy15]

Lately i've been really loving Paul's voice. If not Bruce than Paul is the man. They should have asked him to join when Bruce left.

[ThrashMaster27]

Paul does have a very enjoyable voice, although not being as good, range wise as Bruces. I'm currently listening to Drifter...Great song!

[ashman]

Blaze did write some kick arse songs tho...

[Thunder Fingers]

i like blazes voice.. the "Im just a soldier" in the aftermath(was the after math right? another album i should turn again on soon) Wouldnt be the same with out him.. he fit very well to the albums in his periode...

[ashman]

Yeah that was Aftermath. I couldn't imagine Bruce or Paul doing songs like that.

[ThrashMaster27]

Blaze has a very good voice. I suppose he's like Tim Owens in a way. No way they can surpass the previous vocalist however good they are.

[Thunder Fingers]

i love that album, it wouldnt sound half as powerful with bruce or Paul(Bruce got an little "Thinner" voice, it just dont give the same power)

[AB/CD]

i got seventh son of a seventh son picture disk today :D and also got from here to eternity single with a poster :D

[Firecracker]

From Here To Eternity is such a kick arse song.
One of my favourites along with NOTB, OTGDY, Wasted Years

is it the vid or the sound? i got them both on my pc..:p

[Dannyboy15]

Vid HAHAHA he is so pissed off.

[Thunder Fingers]

Vid HAHAHA he is so pissed off.

hehe, look at steve, he looks 'kin scary on it...

[Dannyboy15]

steve and Blaze looked like they wanted to bust some heads. I'm sure they could too.

[Thunder Fingers]

someonee sound out oftune on it..(exept for blaze that is..)

[AB/CD]

was gonna sya hwta happened cos i missed bits and pieces

[ashman]

hehe, look at steve, he looks 'kin scary on it...

Why are they so angry?


I noticed the Guitar Tech coming to help Janick on tha video, that's always funny...

[Thunder Fingers]

a guy in the audience spitted on blaze...

[ashman]

Oh right, he got really angry over that? He must be a really angry person...

[Firecracker]

Blaze is a great singer.
Especially in Wrathchild.

[alexmonty12]

is anyone going to see maiden in france?me, on the 25th, right?

i can't believe they don't have on in england, their doing Europe and they haven't bothered to do one in their home country?

[ashman]

me, on the 25th, right?

They are headlining Reading festival...It's not on the site, but it's somewhere around...

[IAJP]

Piece Of Mind is so cool.
I've been listening to a lot of: Brave New World,Piece Of Mind and Seventh Son..lately,
they all rock, heavily.

Yer, I've been listening to seventh son a LOT lately, I just love seventh son of a seventh son (the song)

[IAJP]

Moon Child and the title track are both awesome.

You then have the obvious ones, Can I play With Madness, The Evil That Men Do, The Clairvoyant etc.

Pretttty spectacular album :D

[rik]

"Today is born the seventh one, Born of woman the seventh son"

Listening to it now, awesome song.

*Moooooooooonchiiiiiiihiiiiiiild! HEAR THE MANDRAKE SCREAM! AAAUUUGH!*

I love the bit on 'all the evil' when the vocals go powerful and high. So good.

I just noticed on the Rock In Rio DVD...

...Steve waxes his legs.

[MAthiAS]

I just noticed on the Rock In Rio DVD...

...Steve waxes his legs.
The funniest thing on it is when the guy from the crowd jumps onto the stage and taps Janick (I think it was Janick... maybe not) on the shoulder, and instantly security runs over and pushes him off :lol:

[IAJP]

What does everyone think of Killers?
I like it but not as much as the first Maiden album.

[rik]

Probably my favourite Maiden album, I love Steve's bass work on it.

[Thunder Fingers]

maby he just..uh.. doesnt have much leg hair growth..?

Or.. did he do it on stage? :amaze:

[GurS]

that would be an... amusing stage trick. having your legs waxed in mid-song.

[rik]

:lol: nah, i'm pretty sure he doesn't do that on stage :lol:

[shadow_stalker]

it would be a bit distracting if Janick or someone is trying to play a solo and Steve is getting his legs waxed right next to him

[GurS]

no more distracting then trying to play a solo while eddie is taking punches at you (RE: Evil that men do, RIR)

[shadow_stalker]

i suppose, they must all have good concntration

didn't one of them kick eddie in the balls (well that area) at rock in rio, or did i imagine that? :confused:

[Dannyboy15]

[shadow_stalker]

poor eddie, they will brake him one day

[GurS]

they already did :eek:

[shadow_stalker]

when?

poor eddie, he didnt deserve it

[Josh]

he got broken at rock in rio i thought, when being beaten up.

[shadow_stalker]

oh well im sure they can afford to repair him :lol:

[Josh]

:lol: of course.

[ashman]

he got broken at rock in rio i thought, when being beaten up.

He also got Broked on the PoM tour (The Worl Piece Tour)...

[vashts80]

Where else has he been broken?

[Josh]

he got killed on stage in germany, but as ash said that was the piece tour. (i think)

[ashman]

he got killed on stage in germany, but as ash said that was the piece tour. (i think)

Yep that's it. I think he has been broken other times, like when he falls over :lol:

[Josh]

when did he fall over?
