Iron Maiden

[Josh]

i considered going to see priest but tickets were £28 or something stupid. and please check your spelling.

[the_uber_penguin]

I bought "visions of the beast" a month ago, (used for $12) why would anyone trade that in? I have all there cd's now, is there anymore dvds? probably live stuff right?

There's an old live DVD and there's Rock In Rio, which is amazingly good. I prefer the CD of RIR though, the crowd are louder.

[GurS]

the only live event of which i have both the CD AND the dvd is Live Afer Death (excepti have the vhs, not the dvd)

[thelittledrummerboy]

Anyone one no when the next part to the Early days Docco is to be released? Although it probally won't be called the early days. I think they will cover up untill when Adrian left, thats about another 4 or 5 albums isn't it?

[ashman]

Could be called the 'Golden Days', when Bruce left, it called be called the 'Dark Days' and when Bruce rejoined it could be called the 'New Golden Days' :thumb:

[Josh]

thats a possibility......we'll have to wait and see though. i don't even have the early days dvd yet.

[ashman]

'tis good, the funniest part is of the 20th Century Box with all the old Maidenites and the Cardboard guitars :lol:

[Lord Abortion]

Should be great but it will be named Live after death including whole concert supposedly, wether this includes the extra tracks murders in the rue morgue and what else? I dunno
according to the website anyway

I want to see the maiden england gig but I'm not paying £14 for a video when the dvd should be out soon...

[Josh]

i suppose i really should order the early days dvd...except i want to get a load of cds first.

[Eilli W. Kcender]

the only live event of which i have both the CD AND the dvd is Live Afer Death (excepti have the vhs, not the dvd)

Yeah I have both the VHS tape and 2 RECORD set! The record has tons of pics inside as well as a book of more pics and misc information. If I remember right, it actually lists the rigs and guitars dave, adrian and steve used.

[icebase]

ha maiden are playing in dublin on the 17th of August with marolin manson or however you spell his name......... i just bought ten!!!! tickets....... there is dust coming from my wallet....... :lol:

Cool, they did that with the Beast over Hammersmith CD...I was shocked when I found out that they used Extra Light Gauge Strings...

Don't ask me why I remember this, but Harris played Rotosound jazz bass flat wound strings. Pretty bizarre thing to remember almost 20 years latter huh? :p

[GurS]

yeh, it is

[ashman]

:lol: It's all coming out now :lol:

[Dannyboy15]

Not too strange. That's how he gets that distinct sound you hear. Now he has his own signature strings.

[thelittledrummerboy]

Anyone no where i can get some Maiden Avaters?

I put this one in only because he's my second fav bass player. I think you know who my fav is. Rep points on offer.

It was indeed. They released in 7" and 12" format, so it could be confused with an Album...

[Josh]

now i have an evil spongebob maiden avatar......POWERSPONGE :evil:

[vashts80]

What do y'all think would have happened if Bruce and Adrian didn't come back?

[ForiegnPenguin]

I think they would have kept going with less sucess.

[thelittledrummerboy]

Yeah

[Josh]

What do y'all think would have happened if Bruce and Adrian didn't come back?
they probably would have died off, they were good with blaze, but i dont think they would have kept going for that long

[madthumbs]

probably been spoken about before in here, but what did you all think of The Early Days dvd?

[Josh]

wow, a mod posting in our thread..........
i havnt seen it yet, i really should buy it...from what others have said, its pretty good, especially for the ruskin arms gig and the interviews with loads of ex-members.

[Josh]

someone will be in for a ban.....

[shadow_stalker]

I hope the prick gets an IPban

[Six Foot Revolver]

Hey look it's a pic of you!

[Riva]

Don't click that link, fellas.

So, I have a choice of getting a Maiden DVD, or another Maiden album.

It is The Early Days DVD, or Virtual XI. Thoughts?

[Six Foot Revolver]

I can't help because I haevn't seen/heard either.Sorry

[Thunder Fingers]

:mad::thumb:! :amaze:
Awsome, its one of the best DVD's i have ever seen..(well, its "au pair" with Rush - Rush in Rio...)
but best maiden DVD..

its deffinitivly awsome..

Heavy: Get the DVD. VXI is good, but the DVD is Better..:p

Car insurance is a bitch, hey?

[Josh]

yeh, considering i have a small car it will cost £1300 minimum to insure, but i have to pass my test first....lol. although because my dad runs a garage he may be able to find me a cheaper policy with a commercial insurance company

[rippa32]

Well I just got The Number of The Beast album (My first Maiden one) absolutly love it. Every single song, even 22 Acacia Avenue which ive heard bad things about. And I was dumbstruck by Hallowed be Thy Name. Well thats enough of me, but could you guys tell me if dickinson ever left Maiden (Im a maiden n00b)

[Josh]

dickinson left after the fear of the dark tour, i think that was 1993? and he came back a few years later, 1999 or something. they'd released 2 albums with blaze bailey doing vocals while bruce was away, but the first album after bruce came back (brave new world) IMO is one of their best. (it was also their first with 3 guitarists)

[rippa32]

Okay thanks. How does it sound with a third guitarist? And what was the need for two lead guitarists in the first place?

[Josh]

it was just how it worked out, dennis stratton left after the first album, and the brought in adrian smith, the way he and dave write songs tends to make some of them twin lead.
adrian left after seventh son of a seventh son, so they got in janick gers, but when bruce had left and was doing his solo work he got adrian to work on his solo stuff with him, and when he rejoined maiden he wanted adrian back as well, but by then janick had been in the band for 12 years and they didnt want to kick him out, so they just had a 3 guitar line-up

[Eilli W. Kcender]

anyone know what album women in uniform is on :wave:

Floyd, the song women in uniform was released on a special live EP. Side 1 has women in uniform (studio version), and side 2 has drifter and phantom of the opera both live. I believe it was released right before the killers album because it still had dennis stratton playing on it.

[ashman]

Sweet :thumb: Looks like I've started a trend :lol:

[ashman]

The twin lead guitars was mainly to harmonise with each other, it's not really noticeable on Number of the Beast album (I can't think of a song that does use both leads). A good song that uses the twin lead guitar extremely well is; Infinite Dreams, the riff before and after the solo and with Steves bass all the way up to 11...*drools*

[coolidgeALL]

I knew that Bruce left and stuff and adrian came back but but why'd they leave? Maiden kicks ***, one of my favorite bands.

Also, question, Afraid to shoot strangers, that lick right as it gets heavy is that an example of the 2 lead guitarist harmonizing? sounds like it. Thats one of my favorite songs.

Bruce and Adrian left to pursue solo projects.

That bit on Afraid to shoot strangers that you're talking about; I'm not too sure, it just sounds like they are both playing the exact same things...

Mr. Kcender is nearly entirely correct. The EP was called "Live!! + One" (The one being Women in Uniform), and featured the studio version of Women in Uniform, and three live songs: Phantom of the Opera, Drifter and Sanctuary. It was released a few months before Killers.

Yeah, that's the one. I breezed through the old collection this morning to find out what album it was on. I guess I just bothered to read the 'Live' part on the bottom corner and accidentally omitted the '+ One'. Mornings are a little hectic in my house! :thumb:

Thanks for answering questions ashman and sack-man. But ashman I was watching the number of the beast video clip cause my CD is one of those enhanced CD thingo and noticed there was 2 solos one for each guitarist is that what you mean by twin lead?

[Riva]

Hey, I'm pretty sure the names are right. Anyone noticed that the bridges before and after the solo in Infinite Dreams is similar to the ones in Montsegur? It's a kickarse riff.

[astrangerinthenight]

hey any one hear bout manson and maiden teaming up ashman love the avatar lol

[rippa32]

Hey does anyone know who does the riffs? or is it done in unison? Oh btw ashman and sack-man id rep you for helping a Maiden n00b but the rep system doesnt seem to be working.

[Riva]

Steve and the boys all have equal say in riffs, I think. Though Steve and Dave are the main ideas men. And Bruce writes a lot of the lyrics.

[rippa32]

^ Thanks but what I meant was do they both play them at the same time or do they take turns or is one a designated rythym guitarist?

[Riva]

Oh, ok. I thought you meant writing riffs. :)

Well, there is no one lead, or rhythm guitarist. In the coverslips, on stage, and in the music itself, the boys (Adrian, Dave and Janick) are always all described as Lead Guitar. You can hear in some of the BNW and DOD songs that the lead changes several times, as they switch from melody to solo.

[the_uber_penguin]

Steve and the boys all have equal say in riffs, I think. Though Steve and Dave are the main ideas men. And Bruce writes a lot of the lyrics.

I thought Bruce and Steve wrote most of the lyrics...
Adrian is fairly prolific too...he wrote some of the best stuff (Passchendale and The Wicker Man are both music by Adrian Smith, Words by Bruce Dickenson)

Also, no there is no set lead guitarist and no set rhythm guitarists. They're all pretty similar in their rhythm playing, but you can tell apart their leads quite easily:

Jannick: Off the wall, crazy solos with lots of bends
Dave: Jazz influenced, very fast improvised solos
Adrian: Rhythmic, pre-written solos. He doesn't improvise much.

[Lord Abortion]

no more stars....
I just got mine!!!!
they set me apart from the commoners
no rep either
bollocks!!!!!
I notice riva kept his what's going on there?

[ashman]

^ Thanks but what I meant was do they both play them at the same time or do they take turns or is one a designated rythym guitarist?


One thing I have noticed is that Dave was the 'main' lead guy back in the day and then when Janick joined they kinda shared it 50 50...

how come some people have kept their stars even though rep has gone?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

im upset because i never got mine, i only needed a 1000 postcount.

and didnt adrian write most of the lyrics of SSOASS?

maybe it's postcount then...
I only have 3 because of my relatively low postcount
and say... Eddie has 5k posts so he has 4

[Josh]

rep have gone?
yeh, it was removed today...the mods thought it just wasnt worth keeping, people just didnt take it seriously

[Thunder Fingers]

oh... not a big loss...

[Josh]

:confused: its back again, as in lord abortion just repped me...but i cant rep anyone :confused:

[Lord Abortion]

reputation is back but only those with stars can donate or remove it

[Josh]

this is getting confusing...

[Thunder Fingers]

meh.. when you get stars, you can rep... stupid realy.. now people gonna go "help me ge stars and i will rep you then"

[Josh]

yeh...i will rep you when i have stars, as in when i have 1000 posts...
i'm off now, see you all

[Stevie]

yeh...i will rep you when i have stars, as in when i have 1000 posts...

Blood Brothers @ Rio is probably one of the best performances I've seen. By any band.

[vashts80]

Something I noticed is that Steve is the only one using a wireless setup, Dave/Janick/Adrian all are corded. Any specific reason why, doesn't anybody know?

[MAthiAS]

Best Rock in Rio song = The Clansmen IMO. I've never even heard the album version, so its totally fresh for me.

[thelittledrummerboy]

i couldn't agree more. and don't frigin bash me cuz my name is about blink..I'm a hardcore maiden fan to.

[Stew_Blink]

I like Steve And Bruce best for writing songs..although when Adrian does it it's usually really awesome. Also I think for the one song Nick wrote, it was awesome.

[thelittledrummerboy]

Thread getting a wee bit boring now. Does anyone have any new topics to discuss or activities to do?

[vashts80]

Uhh...Blood on the World's Hands is awesome and The Clansman is the best song on VXI. That is all.

[Deth]

Is the X factor and Virtual 11 worth getting? I have most of their other albums but don't know whether to bother with those 2.

[Seventh_Son_of_a_Seventh_Son]

Is the X factor and Virtual 11 worth getting? I have most of their other albums but don't know whether to bother with those 2.

You probably know that Blaze Bayley does vocals for these albums which isn't saying anything bad, but there's no one like Bruce. If you wanted to complete your studio album collection, then I'd say yeah get 'em... but it basically comes down to your taste. Some people like the X Factor better than Virtual XI, some the other way around.. and then there are those who don't particularily care for either. X Factor has a dark theme to it... Sign of the Cross, Lord of the Flies, and my favorite on the album 2 a.m. stand out to me. Virtual XI can seem a little repetitive with songs like Don't look to the eyes of a stranger, but the clansman and the angel and the gambler (some may disagree) are standouts.. my favorite is When two worlds collide. I'd get Maiden's "classics" from the 80s and BNW & DoD 1st and then maybe look into getting them. Both Virtual XI and X Factor are better than NPFTD in my opinion. Buy them if you're looking for money to spend.

[clown_phobia]

Can you please recommend me some Iron Maiden?

[Seventh_Son_of_a_Seventh_Son]

Can you please recommend me some Iron Maiden?

Are you asking in terms of albums or songs? To download or buy?

[rippa32]

Can anyone tell me what albums Bruce didn't sing on, including live albums? Its just a curiosity thing.

[Thunder Fingers]

Can anyone tell me what albums Bruce didn't sing on, including live albums? Its just a curiosity thing.

Iron Maiden(Paul Di'annio)
Killers(Paul Di'Annio)
The X Factor (Blaze Bayley)
Virtual XI (Blaze Bayley)

No live albums..(that still are for sale that is...) there where Live +One...

[GurS]

Also, there was a live EP released on the Killers tour called "Maiden Japan" that was Bruce-less

[GurS]

I thought Bruce and Steve wrote most of the lyrics...
Adrian is fairly prolific too...he wrote some of the best stuff (Passchendale and The Wicker Man are both music by Adrian Smith, Words by Bruce Dickenson)



Paschendale was Smith/Harris.

I'd definatley say that nowadays, it's 'Arry, H and Bruce who do most of the song writing, though Jannick does a lot too. They all have different writing styles, but they work amazing together - it was the Harris/Smith/Dickenson combo that wrote most of 7th son. Dave doesn't write too much - from memory, he wrote Charlotte the Harlot on the S/T, but didn't write anything on Killers or NOTB. I don't think that Jannick wrote many good songs before today's line up - he wrote part of both The Apparition AND Fear is the Key. However, he DID help to write Montsegur

[GurS]

Oh, and best live performance by any band ever = Still Life, Maiden England

[ashman]

Uhh...Blood on the World's Hands is awesome and The Clansman is the best song on VXI. That is all.

What about the Como Estais Amigos? The solo bit is awesome, I love it when they do that kinda of thing :thumb:

[Stevie]

Is the weird talking at the start of Still Life Nicko by any chance?

[GurS]

Yep, it's Nicko speaking backwards (i.e. backtracked)

[Josh]

Becouse steve is so much back and forth that he would just mess up the cables...

dave/janick and adrian tend to just dance around at their sides...
i thought (when i watched rock in rio) that all of them were wireless? because of the way adrian came running on playing the intro to the wicker man, and i didnt notice any cables :confused:

[vashts80]

Nah, all of them but Steve are wireless. You can tell when Steve runs all around the stage with nothing, but Adrian/Dave/Janick move around and you see the cables by their sides :x

[vashts80]

I've started to like NOTB (the song) a lot more. The scream at the beginning is pawnage.

[GurS]

123

[Stevie]

I never really saw NOTB as great.

[vashts80]

I need to get the singles with Listen with Nicko on them. I have the Women in Uniform single, Listen with Nicko II is fun.

[Josh]

listen with nicko?

[rik]

I need to get the singles with Listen with Nicko on them. I have the Women in Uniform single, Listen with Nicko II is fun.
I can't say I know what your talking about.

[shadow_stalker]

I've started to like NOTB (the song) a lot more. The scream at the beginning is pawnage.

That song really annoys me for some reason. :confused:

[vashts80]

Listen with Nicko was a series of little "interview" type sessions on the re-released singles back in 90/91 where Nicko would just tell stupid things.

pfff... at least I'm still WEARING my tag!

[Thunder Fingers]

we have been through this man: IM UNDERCOVER!

And realy, you dont come much more Fender than Maiden.. :lol:

[Josh]

they all use fender, dont they? even steve?

[Thunder Fingers]

they all use fender, dont they? even steve?

Steve Have Always had the same Fender P-bass... he used J basses earlier.. and he used Lados around powerslave, but the fender P have always been his Main Bass...

the black, the blue, and the white one are actually the same bass...

[Josh]

thats cool. didnt adrian used to use an ibanez at some point? and IMO the best looking bass steve has had is the one from FOTD tour, theres pictures of it in the album insert

[Thunder Fingers]

thats cool. didnt adrian used to use an ibanez at some point? and IMO the best looking bass steve has had is the one from FOTD tour, theres pictures of it in the album insert

the one with rosewood fretboard? oh thats old, i think its from the 50's or somthing.. the logo looks like that...

[Josh]

i havent studied it that much....the bad thing being, even though this is MUSICIANforums i dont play anything....i used to play the recorder when i was 10 :upset: by the end of this summer i hope to have a bass though

[GurS]

lol



adrian has used fender, gibson, ibanez, lado and god knows what else. True fact: I <3 his Lado Earth from LAD video

[ashman]

thats cool. didnt adrian used to use an ibanez at some point? and IMO the best looking bass steve has had is the one from FOTD tour, theres pictures of it in the album insert

I think the Ibanez you're talking about is his Ibanez Destroyer...they're 'kin sweet. i've been after one for eons...

[Deth]

agreed. That is one awesome destroyer.

On a side note, destroyer is probably the greatest guitar name EVER.

[Firecracker]

Apart from the Iceman.

But 'Icepick' is so much better.

[Stew_Blink]

i havent studied it that much....the bad thing being, even though this is MUSICIANforums i dont play anything....i used to play the recorder when i was 10 :upset: by the end of this summer i hope to have a bass though


good job, i play drums..i think i did play recorder at one point in my life..for like..a week haha

Ashman is surely god for he has been yearning for the electric guitar for millenia, yet it has only been invented for less than 100 years. Only he could have forseen it! :amaze:

Believe me when I say this Riva...

Virtual XI is NO substitute to Early Days

Psssh... everyone knows that god created the Fender Bass first! it was just so godly, so he decided he would give all the **** to the earth first, so the instrument could come down and make some asses groove! yet many people havent discovered the godlyness of the holy instrument!

I doubt many of you have heard it, but the band After Forever does an interesting version of "The Evil That Men Do." Kinda funny hearing a woman sing Bruce's parts (opera singer, at that), but her voice is actually...pretty well suited to the music. Testament to Bruce's high range, maybe? :lol:

[icebase]

long time since i have been on..............THE REPS GONE..............AHHH i had 568................

[rippa32]

I just got Number of the Beast any recommendations for another album? I was thinking powerslave or piece of mind but what are the Di'anno ones like?

Piece of mind is a good album, but if you're after a Dianno album; get Iron Maiden, much better IMO.

Journeyman, it's a good song I like it. I just want to know what Bruce whispers mid song...it's so annoying :evil:

[the_uber_penguin]

I got NOTB today...it's not as fast as I'm used to Maiden playing.

[GurS]

[Josh]

I know that Eddie came from a Mask one of the Band members found and that he was named by a joke that was told but does anyone know what that joke is?

[ashman]

I know that Eddie came from a Mask one of the Band members found and that he was named by a joke that was told but does anyone know what that joke is?

There was a baby who was called Eddie, who only had a head an no body. And his parents thought that for his 5th birthday, they would get him a body. So on his 5th birthday they said to him that they had a surprise for him, and he said "Oh no, not another ****ing hat"

I can't remember how it's originally worded, but it's to that effect :thumb:

[rippa32]

Not a bad joke really.

[Lord Abortion]

WHaddya guys think of Journeyman?


stevie... banned
what was that for man?

[Josh]

interesting..........
the first eddie was rob smallwood (the manager) wearing an eddie mask, he would walk around onstage while the band were playing

[Josh]

WHaddya guys think of Journeyman?


stevie?

EDIT: sorry about double post

[ashman]

stevie... banned
what was that for man?

Him and 88_fingers_joe were banned for soemthing about satanism and christianity...

[Maiden_Magic]

stevie... banned
what was that for man?

Banned for speaking against christianity...

[Arucard]

I wasnt banned.

/Edit. I was defending christianity.

[Thunder Fingers]

Right.... I hate Religion in general, am i gonna be banned now?!

[ashman]

Not a bad joke really.
It's terrible, I think Dave does it much better on Early Days.

[Josh]

Right.... I hate Religion in general, am i gonna be banned now?!
:lol: only if you get reported. and on religion, nicko is a devout christian...strange considering he was one of the devils in NOTB video :evil:

[Det_Nosnip]

^^ Catholic, I believe.

[thelittledrummerboy]

Who wrote the drum music for some of their earlier songs such as wrathchild, Santuary and Iron Maiden? Was It Doug Sampson or Some of the guys before him. I thought Clive was there very first drummer till i saw the early days.

And also, why don't people like "The thin line" that much? I think it's one of the best songs on that album along with Wickerman, Blood Brothers And Out Of The Silent Planet. I learnt to play the chorus to Out of the silent planet the other day which sound awesome.

[rippa32]

What is Early Days? And to the christian argument why did stevie get banned for expressing his opinion but the christian didn't?

[ArcLite]

Because Stevie was completely offensive and insulting while voicing his opinion.

I love the thin line... 2nd best song on that album IMO. Nice and dramatic.

The History Of Iron Maiden Part 1: The Early Days is a dvd that was released in December 2004. It's a two disc set, and features various bits and bobs from Maiden's past, from it's inception through to 1983's Piece Of Mind album. The main focus of the dvd is 'Early Days', a 90 minute documentary which is ultimately a re-done '12 Wasted Years', which in itself was a 1988 documentary about Maiden, and one which I feel to be superior to the Early Days documentary. Also included on the 2-disc set is live footage from 1981 (Live At The Rainbow), 1983 (Beast Over Hammersmith) and 1983 (the Dortmund gig from the World Piece tour). It also features a rare 1980 video recorded at the Ruskin Arms, a small pub where Maiden gigged frequently before it was famous. Other bonuses included an editon of 20th Century Box, an 80's TV program, about Iron Maiden and the growing Metal scene of the 80's, pictures, steve's diary, some music videos and more.

Get it, it's pretty good. But get 12 Wasted Years too, if you can track it down.

not much of a thin line fan to be honest

Everyone is allowed to voice their opinion as long as it isn't offensive to anyone...


Thin Line is such a great song, it has a cool intro a good rhythm and great guitar work from Davey near the end :thumb:

[Thunder Fingers]

an opinion is always offensive to SOMEONE.. he was just unlucky and was offensive to a Christian Mod... nothing he said was that wrong...


I love the thin line....

The nomad for me is good...the middle section pwnz everyone.

No, he expressed his opinion in the most offensive way possible.

Very similar to me going 'I hate jews, they are all bad and idiots.'

Listening to it on Best of B-Sides, I love the twin Guitar solo...

I'm going to see Iron Maiden this summer (apparently they confirmed Reading...) Flame me or follow me, see you there!

[thelittledrummerboy]

I'd wish they would come down under. I thought it was funny when they tour Australia on the early days and had to play in an outback resturant.

[GurS]

The moment it appears on the Maiden site, Reading-bound I will be.

[rippa32]

Wahoo an Australian. Not many of them in these forums. Yeah Id like to see them in Australia too.

[Lord Abortion]

well hello folks...

wasted years = good song but a tad mainstream adrian for my tastes methinks

Leeds anyone?

[GurS]

pffff

Reading > Leeds

[rippa32]

I checked maidens official site. They are not coming to Australia. Bugger

[Lord Abortion]

pffff

Reading > Leeds
reading =far away
leeds =close

[Riva]

They were supposed to be coming Down Under. Dammit!

[rippa32]

Well maybe they are it just didn't mention it on the site so thats what I assumed.
