Iron Maiden

[thelittledrummerboy]

I'm such a Maiden fan whenever I see someone wearing a Maiden T-Shirt, I demand that they name at least 2 band members (past of present), so I know if they are posers or not; like that Whore from that Britney Spears video :anger:

Why don't you ask them what the drummers name is, then what his real name is, then what his nickname is and see if they know their stuff. and if they don't give em a slap in the head for me :evil:

And what "Whore" from what video

[acefrehleyjendell]

Apparently a reporter for metal sludge was standing in line next to
Nicko at the opening of the Motley Crue tour.

[Riva]

So, my dream of owning all the Maiden studio albums grows ever nearer. Hello No Prayer For The Dying.

[shadow_stalker]

Isn't Ozzfest only for up and coming bands, ya no like new bands and such, this sort of gives them a kick start into the industry. But i know there are some well known bands on the tour.

well last years ozzfest they had people like Judas Priest, Slayer and Sabbath so i wouldnt think it is just for up and coming bands.

but it's cool that ozzfest gicves small bands a chance to get some attention.

[shadow_stalker]

it was "not valid"
however bloodbrothers666@hotmail.com was

well thats not me :lol:

mine is 'blood _ brothers _ 666 @ hotmail.com'

So, my dream of owning all the Maiden studio albums grows ever nearer. Hello No Prayer For The Dying.

'tis a good album; but it is IMO the weakest studio album.

What albums do you need to get now?

[Riva]

Killers, Iron Maiden, Virtual XI and the other blayze one... bugger me, I can't remember...

[ashman]

X-Factor? Get the Killers and Titled album first....

[Riva]

Of course. :cool:

Upload your avatar again, ashman, and check your rep. :)

[circa]

Iron maiden = best band ever? with out a doubt?

best song would have to be fear of the dark off a real live one.

[Josh]

hi all, anything interesting happened recently? i passed my driving theory test today :thumb: should be loose on the roads by the summer. my maiden collection is still no bigger :upset: but soon i will buy another album

ouch, i got neg repped in the guitar forum for saying that i was going to get an ESP explorer :angry:

(comment was - "metalica wroshiping *****)

i can't help but wonder what was behind the 5 stars :confused:

[ashman]

Of course. :cool:

Upload your avatar again, ashman, and check your rep. :)

Cheers, I now have 3 Stars :confused:

I was thinking about changing my avatar soon anyway...

[MAthiAS]

Its uncool when they're all metalcore bands.

ok - you know that n00b in the hygiene thread, he neg repped me back - bastard. im now down to 851.
Rep'd. I love people that neg for no reason, then don't sign the reps. I've gotten negged more for being right about something than actually being a douchebag.

[Lord Abortion]

metalcore, hardcore, thrashcore, indie

all sounds the same crap to me...

[MAthiAS]

-cores are funny. Abortion I loved your Mustaine avatar, but I&W is cool too I suppose.

[GurS]

'tis a good album; but it is IMO the weakest studio album.

What albums do you need to get now?

weaker then FOTD? seriously?

I still got 2 to go - somewhere in time and virtual xi.

though my NOTB is scratched beyond working.

[Josh]

cheers for rep MAthiAS and eddie, nice avatar ashman

theres so many different kinds of rock and metal now, a lot of it is crap as well. but im not too bothered about genres as long as its good.

GurS im assuming you've heard all the songs off somewhere in time even though you dont have it?

[IAJP]

I actually like Somewhere in Time...:upset:

[Josh]

its a great album, why the upset smiley?

[GurS]

uh.... yeh....


>_>


<_<

actually, off'f the two albums i don't have, i've only heard 3 off'f both: Wasted Years, Stranger in a Strange Land and Heaven Can Wait from SIT, and Futureal, Angel and Gambler and The Clansman from VXI.

Shocking, I know

[Josh]

SiT is well worth getting, one of my favourite albums

brave new world > somewhere in time > dance of death

and the bass on caught somewhere in time........wow

[MAthiAS]

Somewhere in Time is my third favorite Maiden album, definitely a good buy.
SSOASS > NOTB > SiT
Caught Somewhere in Time is an amazing song... Lonliness of the Long Distance Runner is my other favorite off of it, though you don't hear it mentioned much.

[Lord Abortion]

worst albums IMO
goes NPFTD
FOTD
VXI

good point, for a long time it was my favourite song...that riff never gets boring.

[GurS]

For me, it's currently POM>Powerslave>BNW>NOTB>S/T>SSOASS>DOD>Killers>NPFTD>X Factor>FOTD

[Josh]

i cant order my favourite albums that well, anyway ive been listening to more megadeth and ozzy osbourne than maiden lately.

[IAJP]

Piece Of Mind is greatly underated.

[Lord Abortion]

that your kit on your avatar gur?

[Josh]

he be offline again. its a cool kit though.

[ashman]

weaker then FOTD? seriously?

I still got 2 to go - somewhere in time and virtual xi.

though my NOTB is scratched beyond working.

I think NPFD has more filler songs then any other. I've started listening to FOTD a lot more lately, I've started to like it more then I did.

[ashman]

that your kit on your avatar gur?

Yeah that's his Kit. *Seen the picture before :naughty: *

[shadow_stalker]

he be offline again. its a cool kit though.

it's got mine beat :upset:

[MAthiAS]

For me, it's currently POM>Powerslave>BNW>NOTB>S/T>SSOASS>DOD>Killers>NPFTD>X Factor>FOTD
Eh, of the ones I own I go:
SSOASS > NOTB > SiT > BNW > Powerslave > DoD > POM
all are great though, so don't think that I think SSOASS is the greatest album of all time and POM is the worst. Its Maiden we're talking about here.

[Josh]

Yeah that's his Kit. *Seen the picture before :naughty: *
ash where did you spongebob maiden avatar come from?
and IMO FOTD isnt bad, be quick or be dead, from here to eternity, afraid to shoot strangers, judas be my guide IMO are best tracks, the studio version of the title track is weak.

[ashman]

http://finnegan19.tripod.com/id5.html

I just searched Eddy Iron Maiden at Google and that's what I found.

What about wasting love, Chains of Misery and Childhoods End?

[Josh]

meh, i find wasting love good but annoying, chains of misery is average. but childhood's end is good

[vashts80]

Blood Brothers pwns me. I've found a good 5 different tabs, they're all totally different, and the one that seems like it works has no indicators of how many times you play the section. It pisses me off.

[ashman]

Chains of Misery is good for the solo bit; When it slows down and then gets faster... Wasting Love is such a cool song to play though.

[shadow_stalker]

Blood Brothers pwns me. I've found a good 5 different tabs, they're all totally different, and the one that seems like it works has no indicators of how many times you play the section. It pisses me off.

Play the song and try and follow the tab (without Guitar). It's what I usually do if there aren't any time indicators.

[vashts80]

Nah, I'm on bass...it sounds weird trying to follow 'Arry.

http://www.guitartabs.cc/fetchfile.php?fileid=1437425

That's the tab I'm trying to play, but it looks weirdly formatted. Pain in the *** to figure it out.

/me goes back to playing Run to the Hills

First Maiden song I can play on bass. R0xx0rz.

[ashman]

That is a different way to what I play it. The way I play it on Bass is just:

------------------------5--------7----
----2---------5------5----5----7------
--2--2-----5------3----------5---------
0-------3----------------------------

It's just that basically all the way through...

[vashts80]

The thing is that on Rio, he strums during most of the 1st slower solo (Where it goes slow -> fast -> slow -> Verse [When you think that we've used all our chances...]) that's what's confusing me with all the tabs. I need to see if there's a tab book for BNW.

[GurS]

I'll give a track-by-track analysis on FOTD and why it's the worst IMO.

BQOBD: Great start, fantastic song.
From Here To Eternity: Ditto.
Afraid To Shoot Strangers: First time I heard it, I thought "Great! Fantastic!". But it gets dull and stale quickly. I believe 'Arry was trying to write a certain style of song... and had many failed attempts on the way. This includes this song IMO, and he's tried it on most of the albums since then, he nearly had it with Dream of Mirrors but he finally found what he was looking for IMO with No More Lies.
Fear Is The Key: Terrible, awful song. It's hideous.
Childhood's End: Decent song
Wasting Love: Dull and schmaltzy IMO. Not very great.
The Fugitive: A great song. I <3 it muchly.
Chains Of Misery: Dull, repetative and not very good. So far below what Maiden are capable off.
The Apparition: Next...
Judas Be My Guide: A good song. Very nice.
Weekend Warrior: If this was a B-side, I'd love it - you could assume it's a joke. But as it's on an alubm, we must assume that this song was written in Earnest. :amaze: It's cheesy, early 90's crap.
Fear Of The Dark: A fantastic song to end the album on... goes about half way to redeeming the album.

In honestly, if they had released the album as BQOBD, From Here To Eternity, Childhood's End, The Fugitive, Judas Be My Guide and FOTD, it'd be great. But the rest of the album drags it way down, and makes it dull and slow, when listening to this album I find myself skipping half the songs on it, just so that I don't fall asleep. Yes, the best songs on this are probably better than the best songs on NPFTD, but the rest are so crap and/or mediocre that it places the album right at the bottom of the album ranking.

My two pence.

[thelittledrummerboy]

Thats a fair good analysis.

And how good is killers n e way? If i bought it would i be dissapointed :confused:

[GurS]

You want me to do a play-by-play analysis of that too? I will.

also: a picture from my band's gig on Tuesday (that's me behind the drum kit)

http://www.totallyjewish.com/lifestyle/circuit/?pic_id=15&page_num=2&set_id=3516&archive=

[thelittledrummerboy]

Thats a nice kit though, what brand? and what cymbals do u use and what r they ie sizes/types.

Are u guys a cover band or do u play originals. I'm in a cover band but don't have a singer. :upset:

[GurS]

That kit isn't actually mine, it was the places. The cymbals, however, where all mine. Kitwise, at home I have a combination of a pearl forum and a Premier kit. I'm not sure about the snare size or the tom depths, but width wise the toms are: 8", 10", 14" (snare converted into a tom), 12", 13", and my floor toms are 14" and 16". The bass drums are 20" and 22"

Cymbal wise, I don't believe in sticking to one brand, I mix and match to get the best sound possible. As a result:
14" Zyn HiHats
14" Paiste 200 HiHats
18" Pearl CX300 Crash/Ride
18" Sabian AAXPlosion Crash
18" Paiste Signature Power Crash
20" Zyn Ride (used as crash)
20" Sabian Rock Ride
24" Paiste 2002 China

For the gig, kit-wise I used one snare, two rack toms, two floor toms and a double-kick instead of two bass drums. Most places don't have enough mics for me to use my full kit :(

We do our own stuff, though we cover Bring Your Daughter... To The Slaughter. We also took the words to some song from the 20's called Frankie and Johnny, and put it to some 12 bar blues

[the_uber_penguin]

You want me to do a play-by-play analysis of that too? I will.

Cool...after you're last avatar I was expecting to see Jannick Gers sitting at the drumkit...

(and you'll all be suprised I don't look just like Pingu:

www.freewebs.com/suicidalducklings/gallery.htm

That's me on the guitar)

You don't know how hard it is to try and cover Blood Brothers with one guitarist/vocalist, one bassist, and a punk rock drummer.

[vashts80]

Blaze's solo stuff rocks. That is all. (NP: Blaze - Stealing Time)

[Facsimile]

And how good is killers n e way? If i bought it would i be dissapointed :confused:
Well, it's easiest to compare it to Iron Maiden:
When it's good, it's better than the stuff on Iron Maiden, but when it isn't good then it's worse than the stuff on Iron Maiden. Where Iron Maiden is an album of consistancy, Killers is an album of highs and lows.
In my opinion, of course.

[GurS]

2nded.

Ok, i'll do this.

Ides Of March: Killer opening. Oh yeh. :cool: No more needs to be said. (It's an instrumental btw)
Wrathchild: You've heard this song before, trust me.
Murders In The Rue Morgue: This is an ok song, above average, but not great by any standards. You could say it's 'good'.
Another Life: I didn't like this one too much, still don't. The best version of this song is the Ruskin video on Early Days.
Ghengis Khan: Often said to be the best of the four Maiden instrumentals. IMO joint with Losfer Words.
Innocent Exile: Tricky bass opening, an OK song, nothin special. Rather bland.
Killers: Joint best song on the album. This song is fuggin FANTASTIC. This is, as Facsimile said, probably better than any song on Iron Maiden (with the POSSIBLE exception of Strange World and Running Free).
Prodigal Son: A nice little 12-string accoustic song, in the vain of Strange World or Remember Tomorrow, except in a major key.
Purgatory & Twilight Zone: I'm doing these two songs together for a reason. These two songs are very much unlike any other Maiden song in the whole back catalogue. This is, probably, due to the fact that they were singles, and unlike Sanctuary and Running Free, you get a feeling that they had to be cut down to fit the time frame, unlike the singles from the S/T, which were probably written as that length. Purgatory is a great song, and fits the confines of time really well, really benefits from being short and punch, and is one of the best songs on the album. In contrast, Twilight Zone should have been fleshed out, as it is it seems pretty lacklustre and doesn't quite push the right buttons, which it may have been able to do had it been written out more substantially.
Drifter: Joint best song on the album. It has many parallels with the song Iron Maiden, and could well be a follow up. I love this song, especially the bit wtih harmonics. A great way to end the album.

My two pence.

[ashman]

I think we should get Gur to do that with every album...

[vashts80]

I think we should get Gur to do that with every album...

123.

[ashman]

I didn't know that Prodigal son was a 12 string song...


The fans want you to do it Gur :thumb:

[GurS]

lol

I think I probably will end up doing so :p

[GurS]

So, I was going to do that thing for BNW, when I realised that on the new Musicianforums CD review website, there was no review of BNW :o So I wrote one. Go check it out.

[YDload]

You have to do these album reviews in order GurS. Do a summary of NOTB next!

[Kurtz]

If i bought it would i be dissapointed :confused:
Hell no.

[GurS]

You have to do these album reviews in order GurS. Do a summary of NOTB next!

I do them in order of requests... so I guess I'll do NOTB next. But first, everyone go give me postiveness on my BNW review on sputnikmusic.com

OK

Invaders: A great start to the album, high octane adrenaline all the way. One of the greatest way to start an album, from any album EVER (my mum jumped when it started first time I put on my stereo at home).
Children Of The ****ed: This song is fuggin fantastic. A nice soft intro, over which a semi-majestic solo is played over, followed by lush, coaxing vocals give way to a heavy distorted chorus - you can almost hear thousands of fans screaming along with "Children Of The ****ed" - I swear, if they do this song on the upcoming tour I'm gonna cream my pants.
The Prisoner: Nice drum intro (if a little typical of the 80's), this is an upbeat little tune that is a good way to get people who aren't into Maiden, into Maiden. Another chorus to die for.
22 Accacia Avenue: The second song in the Charlotte The Harlot Quartology. This song is great when you're not listening to it... but somehow, when you listen to it, it's not as good as you think it is. So, many people will say it's a great track, but then when they listen to it, they'll say it's not that great, but five minutes later they'll say that it is. I dunno why, but that's how it is. So, I'm gonna say it's great, but it's probably not that great :confused:
Numer Of The Beast: Well, this song is a classic. The opening spoken verse is a mantra of Metal, and when the guitar intro comes in... shivers in my spine, what can I say. H's solo in this is one of my favourite Maiden solo, and even 'Arry's got a mini-solo.
Run To The Hills: Every Maiden Noob's favourite song. Famous for it's power house chorus and for the speed - 'Arry's blurring fingers on the video is an icon of bass playing. And I don't know a single Maiden fan who can't help but play air-drums for the chorus - you know, the BUH-duh-buh-DUH-buh-duh-BUH-duh-buh-DUH-buh-duh... you know!
Gangland: Not many people like this. I do. The drum intro is incredible, the whole intro is great... when the vocals come in, it movies from semi-jazzy to metal. I like it, but musically, it's perhaps not as great as the rest of it.
Total Eclipse: Criminally, one of the most underrated songs in Maiden's back catalogue. It's great - the start is slow and heavy, the chorus ("sunlight has gone...) is REALLY heavy, nice and gruff, the fast bit just plain rawks and the outro-verse is really majestic. Fan-fuggin-tastic. Oh yeh. :cool:
Hallowed Be Thy Name: You guys all know this song. The slow intro, then it speeds up, then the whole going-up-then-down-in-steps bit, and then "YEAH, YEAH, YEAH! HALLOWED BE THEY NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME". It's great, but ya'll know it and love it so well, that I think it don't need to much more analisys, do you? If you need any more proof that it's great, just remember, it is the no2 Rock & Metal song of ALL TIME (stairway to heaven beat it by 1 vote). That should be all the proof needed.

All in all, a pleasure to listen to. The best way to get into Maiden, without a doubt.

My two pence

[GurS]

Oh, and the "Excellence of Execution" rawks too... second best wrestler EVER (after the late, great Davey Boy Smith)

[MAthiAS]

Nice review there man. Especially the Hallowed Be Thy Name one :D

[shadow_stalker]

how long does it take to write them reviews?

ps good review

[GurS]

about 5-6 minutes solid.

if you liked that, please PLEASE go to http://www.sputnikmusic.com and give my BNW review good feedback (by saying it was helpful)

thanks in advance.

and thanks for the feed back on the in-thread mini-reviews.

[MAthiAS]

excellent review of BNW man. I agree with pretty much everything you said, except I prefer Ghost of the Navigator to The Nomad.

[shadow_stalker]

im not much of a fan of the Nomad, kind of goes on a bit too much for me

[GurS]

thanks for the feedback guys

[Josh]

janick on drums....:confused: me thinks you mean nicko

[ashman]

Janick playing Drums would be funny...I'd like to see him dance about behind that Kit... :lol:

[Josh]

rofl....it would be great to see them all play each others instruments....nicko on vocals......or steve on vocals?

[Last Ditch Effort]

Steve might pull it off horribly.
Nicko would massacre everything haha.

[coolidgeALL]

I have every album, they all kick ***.

[the_uber_penguin]

Adrian isn't a bad singer, Bruce isn't a bad guitarist, I recken he probably bluff bass too. I wouldn't put it past Steve to suprise us on drums, and I reckon any of the guitarists could rip up the bass a bit.

[led_zep_luvr]

rofl....it would be great to see them all play each others instruments....nicko on vocals......or steve on vocals?

steve sometimes sings live in the backround

[AB/CD]

they got signed with steve singing the songs cos idanno didnt show up sure ven tho steve sucked he also sucks on drums

[Last Ditch Effort]

Adrian isn't a bad singer, Bruce isn't a bad guitarist, I recken he probably bluff bass too. I wouldn't put it past Steve to suprise us on drums, and I reckon any of the guitarists could rip up the bass a bit.
That's cause Adrian does backup vocals.
But...to be honest, he is pretty bad. Listen to Live After Death in Choruses where he sings.

[vashts80]

I think Janick, Steve, and Adrian all do backing vocals...Adrian and Steve did backing vocals during the last chorus of Blood Brothers at Rio, Janick and Steve and I'm pretty sure Adrian all did backing vocals @ Rio during Run to the Hills...

[GurS]

I'm pretty sure Bruce came up with the famous drum intro to The Prisoner.

[thelittledrummerboy]

How come no one has answered my question.
And Adrian is an awsome singer, he used to sing with Dave way back to be apart of their band, just watch the rio docco

[vashts80]

What's the B-Side that Nicko and Steve got into an arguement called? I want to get that...sounds awesome.

[YDload]

The bass forum is having a feature called "Ask A Pro," where the mods try to get in contact with a famous bassist and have him or her answer questions.

I was wondering if they tried Steve Harris yet, but then I remembered that he's probably gotten an awful lot of fan mail over the decades, and some of it he probably hasn't even read ("Dude you should get rid of that Dianno guy he sucks!!!"). But it would be pretty neat to get to ask Steve some questions, huh?

[ides of march]

i agree, although the guys from the band are pretty good at other instruments... their also good at fishing, golfing and partying

[MAthiAS]

i agree, although the guys from the band are pretty good at other instruments... their also good at fishing, golfing and partying
Don't forget football, fencing, and flying!

EDIT: Oohh, alliteration.

[ides of march]

haha, yeah harris fences and Iron Maiden has there own soccer team (football if your English) but that is pretty cool and i'd play for thir soccer team just for the uniform

[MAthiAS]

haha, yeah harris fences and Iron Maiden has there own soccer team (football if your English) but that is pretty cool and i'd play for thir soccer team just for the uniform
Steve fences? I was talking about Bruce, but I wouldn't be surprised if Steve did too.

[YDload]

A Beavis and Butthead rerun was on MTV2 and they watched a video for "From Here to Eternity." Pretty good song, considering it's from the sub-par era of Maiden.

[led_zep_luvr]

sup maiden fans?

[Lord Abortion]

woah I missed a canny bit...
hello you 'orrible lot

Hallowed be thy name is therefore the greatest metal song of all time because stairway is rock...not metal

H can sing quite well...

steve cannot however...
anyone who has the earlydays DVD or maiden england sees Bruce play acoustic guitar on revelations

which may possibly be the best song he has written solo
any opinions guys?

[Lord Abortion]

is it just me or does Gur have a receeding hairline on that photo?

[GurS]

it's you.

[Riva]

I think I saw a glimpse of it... :p

Why thank you very much kind sir...

Yeah while playing where eagles dare without missing a beat. :lol:

He could probably pull that off, he never usually screws up....except when he goes blind and falls off stage :lol:

[Thunder Fingers]

Nicko is a great singer...Have you not heard the Age of Innocence (Nicko style)?

oh. that one is wonderful! :lol:

[Josh]

He could probably pull that off, he never usually screws up....except when he goes blind and falls off stage :lol:
i didnt know he fell off stage once til i read that thing in kerrang magazine that had 25 things you didnt know about maiden. actually i knew most of them.

to the person inquiring about the B-side thats an argument: its called mission from 'arry, bruce recorded it when steve and nicko were arguing after nicko smacked a roadie who distracted him in a drum solo. it ends when nicko sees bruce and shouts "some cunt's recording this!!!" (i think thats it)

[Josh]

Nicko is a great singer...Have you not heard the Age of Innocence (Nicko style)?
no i havent heard that, where is it from?

[AB/CD]

any1 have that b side on their ocmputer i wanna hear it sounds class

If you want me to send you that Song; it's about 20mb 'cos it's a 'secret' track with the Electric version of Journeyman... It is the best song ever...

[ashman]

i didnt know he fell off stage once til i read that thing in kerrang magazine that had 25 things you didnt know about maiden. actually i knew most of them.

to the person inquiring about the B-side thats an argument: its called mission from 'arry, bruce recorded it when steve and nicko were arguing after nicko smacked a roadie who distracted him in a drum solo. it ends when nicko sees bruce and shouts "some cunt's recording this!!!" (i think thats it)

I'm after that B-side...I've searched far and wide for it...

[Riva]

So, I have to get my act together and rep you guys again. I am told I give out over 270 rep points now...

[Faaip De Oaid]

any good albums you would recommend considering all i have is powerslave and eddie the great?

[icebase]

Well. One of the best albums is the number of the beast is a great album and so is rock in rio. get one of them. :thumb:

[Josh]

rock in rio is great. get brave new world and the self-titled

[shadow_stalker]

any good albums you would recommend considering all i have is powerslave and eddie the great?

Brave New World

[Dread_rocker]

Number Of The Beast and Killers

[CreepingDeath~]

Definately number of the beast, and if you want you can get 7th son of a 7th son... (I havn't heard all of Iron Maidens albums... :()

[Josh]

the thing is almost any maiden albums could be recommended, there are 13 studio albums, then 10 live albums / best of's etc.

[Dread_rocker]

i dont no why it is but i dont like 7th son of a 7th son aswell as other albums. its a good one but dont see what was so special about it?

[Josh]

i suppose its because its all along the same sort of theme, almost (but not quite) a concept album. also, adrian smith wrote most of it himself.
personally its not one of my favourite studio albums, those being brave new world, the self-titled and powerslave
(at least at the moment, it changes fairly often)

my favs at the minute are brave new world, piece of mind and killers

[rik]

One of my favourite maiden albums. Haven't listened to much maiden recently apart from seventh son and killers.

[MAthiAS]

SSOASS is my favorite of theirs, but oddly I think I listen to it the least.

[Stevie]

Having listened to all of my Maiden albums the one album that is special to me is Somewhere In Time. Yes. That is their best album.....and nobody may think differently. Ever.

Too bad it's the only album they do nothing live on...

And before the neg rep flows in, I was joking about the whole nobody may think differently bit...

[rik]

Somewhere in time is easily my most least listened to Maiden album I own.

[MAthiAS]

Somewhere in time is easily my most least listened to Maiden album I own.
So, which is it?

[rik]

most least, as in, the one I listen to the least amount.

[ashman]

SiT and SSOASS are easily my favourites...I listen to them loads :thumb:

[rik]

In my next post I will have 1500 posts.

[willis2441]

Number of the Beast is a great start. If you want to not have any of the fun and get a best of, make it Edward the Great.

[willis2441]

[Josh]

We don't get snow days, school is open no matter how hard it snows. I am off school though because I was so tired when I woke up.



Thanks to heavyriva and sack man for the rep. I'm nearly on 900 now. Gotta spread more rep before giving back to sack man though.

[coolidgeALL]

you'll probably like pretty much any album, but go with "best of the beast" or anything else recommended.

no problem. i will keep repping you when i can so you get your stars.

i also just found out that school is closed tomorrow as well!!!! aaaarrrrrgggghhhhh!!!!! i'm gonna go ****ing insane

[rik]

I found out yesterday my art teacher saw Iron maiden when they did some of their secret gigs under the name of "Charlotte and The Harlots". He said Steve was all over the place and playing bum notes. I said he was lieing, but when he explained to me how pissed Steve and everyone else in the band was, it made more sense.


Cheers for rep Mathias, 15 more to go....

[MAthiAS]

Heh, I have school off this week anyway. Would've had a snow day Monday though.

[crunchmeister]

Adrians guitars from the same album...

Lado Earth 2003
Lado Earth 2001 (I have on of these!!!)

The models are actually named Earth 2000, 2000-1, 2000-2, and 2000-3, whith each being a slight variation on the base 2000 model. I own Lado Earth 2000-3 #1. The next 3 or 4 2000-3 models Joe Kovacic (Lado owner) built went to Adrian Smith.

http://www.sadbuttrue-band.com/info/CrunchmeisterBigPics.asp#Lado

It's a little beat up (cosmetically) after 20+ years of heavy use and gigging, but it's structurally sound other than some fret wear, and is still plays like a dream and sounds awesome. It's without a doubt the best electric guitar I have ever laid hands on. Lado guitars rule.

[HEDRIXISGOD]

awsome guitar

Ah, you can''t blame him. Beginning of a tour, sort of thingy...

[GurS]

The Lado Earth on the LAD video is my favourite guitar of all time, though H's LP from the Wicker Man video is great too.

I'm not sure what you're talking about; Bruce is hosting a show about airplanes?

Anyway, I watched the trailers from the Early Days DVD and found them quite amusing. But who was that chubby bald guy in the sports jersey?

[thelittledrummerboy]

Whatever the last song is that Maiden played at the Rainbow, I just got the early days dvd and now want to get killers.

[acefrehleyjendell]

I just started reading some long threads from the begining, and got to wondering about something.

Does anyone know what the hell happened to Frail?

[Josh]

no - if you look on his profile he was online on the 9th january or something (last activity)

i listened to powerslave for the first time in ages the other day, its such a class album (except duellists, IMO the worst song on the album)

EDIT:last maiden song i heard for the first time was virus, i saw the about last 90 seconds on scuzz last night.

EDIT EDIT: I now have stars, and 11,500 rep. Who wants some Maiden rep!
i'll take some, when you're not banned...lol. i have 1363 rep, cheers GurS for the last bit.

[GurS]

Then it would have been Murder in Rou Morge (Buggered if I no how to spell it)

so, i realised that Flight Of Icarus makes a really good acoustic ballad.

Also, everyone MUST use Eagle Acoustic Bronze strings on their accoustic - it's incredible, it's chorus-y, it bleeds music and sings like no-one's business. they're INCREDIBLE
