Iron Maiden

[Lord Abortion]

very
very
good
paschendale
listen
now

[rippa32]

Okay. Is the recent tour for that album?

[Lord Abortion]

this tour will be mostly old (early days) tracks

last tour was DOD 03/04

[rippa32]

Okay thanks. Do you know if they are going to Australia? Cause Im hoping that they didnt mention it on the site cause it hasn't been anounced yet.

[GurS]

In a word, really good. I'll do my 'thing', shall I?


Wildest Dreams: A good start to the album, at first this song unimpressed me but it's a real grower. Nice high-octane, energetic stuff.
Rainmaker: A great song this one, catchy guitar hook, powerful chorus and a good solo. Weird video, but that's life, eh?
No More Lies: For me, 'Arry has tried to pull off a certain kind of song from FOTD onwards. He's never quite managed to pull it off, but there has been some worthwhile efforts (Afraid to Shoot Strangers, Dream Of Mirrors). For many people, he finally hit the mark with NML. Personally, I find it drags on a wee bit much, but nevertheless, a god song.
Montesgur: This is a real cracker - and not just coz my name's in the title! One of Maiden's heaviest songs in their entire back catalogue, the song this is most reminiscent of is Where Eagles Dare, having that heavy triplet feel about it, but unlike WED, this is slightly slower, and hence bears an extra edge of menace. A great song, with a dramatic chorus (though I've heard the argument that it can be semi-cheesy), but for me second best on the album.
Dance of death: Personally, I find this to be the weakest song on the album. It starts of well, great build up etc and then.... it turns Irish. From then on in, there are parts of the song that are great, but all of the highs of the song are nullified by the Irish hook (And then a skirmish started... when your lying in your bed... YOU KNOW THE BIT I MEAN! lol). End result: the song is very.... 'meh'. Though I've been told it's good live.
Gates Of Tomorrow: A good song, but very much filler, nothing special, nothing that makes it stick out the crowd particularly.
New Frontier: I consider this song to be very much the same as the previous song, and the same applies: bland and nothing particularly special.
Paschendale: Best song on the album. This is by far the best Maiden song since 1988, if not earlier (joint with OOTSP, of course. ****, those triplets pwn me :upset:). This is a real epic, with many different parts, each with its own feel, joining and linking together to create something wonderful. This song is worth the 15 quid by itself.
Face In The Sand: A great song, this 'un. Great guitar work, and noteworthy for being the only song Nicko's ever had to resort to using a double-kick to record :eek: I know. Shocking. I really like this song. Yeh.
Age Of Innocence. This too is a great song, also with different parts, each with it's own feel. Surpassed only by the Nicko version, which was a secret track on the No More Lies EP.
Journeyman: Maiden goes acoustic! A great, powerful song, with a sweeping orchaestral backing. Really good stuff. Electric version is better though :P

And that's the dance of death album :)

[Lord Abortion]

yeah that album is good
I lold when you described DOD as Irish though

no more lies is too overblown for me it drags
where eagles dare owns montesegur
and paschendale is amazing

[rippa32]

Thanks alot. If it were still around you would definatley be repped. When you say Journeymans electric version is better was that a song on a previous album?

[Lord Abortion]

right
I need food as I'm on prefect duty so I need to go now
so byeeeeeeeee

[GurS]

cya Abortion.

The electric version of Journeyman is also on the No More Lies EP. The tracklist of the No More Lies EP is: No More Lies, Paschendale (orchaestral version), Journeyman (electric version), and a secret track of Nicko singing Age Of Innocence, which is fair hillarious

[Thunder Fingers]

I gotta run to the post office! my Maiden England have finally arrived! :D:D

[GurS]

Nice one eddie.

Maiden England > every other live Maiden anything. Ever.

[Thunder Fingers]

I know! i used to have it before, but my mom managed to ship it away with our ComboTV

[GurS]

Killers on that gig makes me cream.... Still life too...

[Thunder Fingers]

Argh! now im kinda pissed and surprised... it wasnt the maiden England video, but a music theory book i ordered 2 days ago(thoose guys are way faster than the VHS guys :p)

[GurS]

[disturbed_bassist]

[Deth]

There isn't anything wrong with calling southerners puffs, but you must remember; Maiden were from down south, except for Janick...

[Josh]

janick is from hartlepool i think, although his family were polish immigrants after the WWII i think

[Lord Abortion]

Hey Gurs,Great review once again.

For me personally i really like No more lies. Although you can get a wee bit lost you can feel the energy in the solos. It's got a got film clip wheree Bruce climbs up the tower. i thought they were goin to bring out the dod tour dvd after that, oh well. :upset:

I though Nicko refused to use a double kick "on principle". i can sort of get it but thats the only part of the song i play. i may learn it for our local eistedfodd.

And yeah the middle "filler" songs, you always get them but i thing these one's bring some extra life to the album.

Anyway, thats my opinion. :thumb:

[thelittledrummerboy]

1ooth post. I thought i better do it in here because this is my fav band.

[Thunder Fingers]

yey for you..;)

[GurS]

indeed, congrats :chug:

[thelittledrummerboy]

I hope thats beer in them glasses lol

[thelittledrummerboy]

Hey Gurs if you changed ur Avatar back to Nicko We'd have half of Maiden with me you and eddie.

Anyway I'm signing of now, catch you lads later. :wave:

[Lord Abortion]

maiden are pirates really

[GurS]

uh.... how exactly?

[steveharris]

you? geordie? you Man. Utd fan you....:evil:
dude geordies support newcastle UTD. I should know cos i'm half geordie :naughty: :naughty:

[Deth]

to simplify things: What would you give SSOASS out of 10?

[ashman]

to simplify things: What would you give SSOASS out of 10?
A million :thumb:

[Deth]

Good enough. I'll be picking it up then.

[Six Foot Revolver]

SSOASS?

[ashman]

Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son...

[Bartender]

I'd assume most of you already know, but if you're missing CDs in your Iron Maiden collection (and it might help if you're in England), you could check out HMV's current sale. It's a 4 CDs for £20 deal, with a surprisingly good selection, including three (I think) Iron Maiden albums. Not rare ones, naturally, but just in case, thought I'd post this here. Even if you only want one particular one, I think they'll be reduced individually (just not as much).

Sorry if this is old news around these parts, "HMV" isn't too easy to search for.

I used the opportunity to pick up Number of the Beast and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, incidentally.

[GurS]

Nice one 'Tender, cheers for that. And nice choice of albums, they are tres good.

I also heard that Iron Maiden is on the main stage at ozzfest in the northwest

[ghstrder72]

so any one have info on the ozzfest tour dates

[ashman]

I also heard that Iron Maiden is on the main stage at ozzfest in the northwest

That was for the Dance of Death tour isn't it? They've only released the Europe dates so far.

I don't think they are playing at Ozzfest, I heard that the dates clash with some confirmed gigs.

[Deth]

They have less than 2 open months during the summer, so I think Ozzfest is out of the question.

[Josh]

well as not all UK dates are announced yet (/has just checked maiden website), it could be a while before any US dates are announced

[Thunder Fingers]

**** no! :( Maiden England is out of production...:(:(:(:(:( but they would look around for it for a while, there might be that someone still have it... i hope someone still have it... that is one of the best maidn concerts i have seen, not to talk about Steves Bass...(yeah i know he use it on LAD to, but it looks so much better in the lights on "Maiden England" :p)

[Josh]

can you not get it delivered to norway from amazon.com?

[shadow_stalker]

well as not all UK dates are announced yet (/has just checked maiden website), it could be a while before any US dates are announced

I couldnt find any uk tour dates earlier today :confused:

[Josh]

ireland on August 31st...thats sort of UK

[shadow_stalker]

Oh i thought you ment proper uk dates :upset:

[ashman]

Oh i thought you ment proper uk dates :upset:


Stupid Pretend UK dates :evil:

[Stew_Blink]

I got my first IM album yesterday..NOTB..kinda sad considering I got visions of the beast before getting an album. and sorry for being a noob in this thread but what is "The Iron Maiden Authority"?

[Stew_Blink]

This may have been discussed before but..ever notice on NOTB Limited Edition that if you play it in windows media player the last song is titled "Total Eclipse" even though the song is actually "Hallowed Be Thy Name"..although it may just be my windows media player..seeing as it has been messed up of late.

[GurS]

In the album sleeve, you'll also find that total eclipse is the song whose lyrics are printed last. However, I can account for the lyric booklet order - Total Eclipse was not on the original vynil, but instead the B-side for the Run To The Hills booklet. Hence, so that to keep the album sleeve of the cd as close to original as possible, Total Eclipse was printed after the Hallowed Be Thy Name lyrics.

The Maiden Authority are the three people who, basically, know just about everything there is to know about Maiden, and can answer any queries you have about Maiden.

[shadow_stalker]

Did anyone see the Iron Maiden special on VH1 Classic last night?

It was really good.

[Deth]

I don't get VH1 classic, so no.

[AB/CD]

if they no everything then id like them to answer 1 little question for me easy like which members of maiden have stayed in it right from the start

[chorbalan]

I heard that IM is coming to vancouver anyone know when that is going to be?

[Deth]

No North America dates have been announced, so keep your fingers crossed.

[shadow_stalker]

if they no everything then id like them to answer 1 little question for me easy like which members of maiden have stayed in it right from the start

I think its just Steve Harris but i may be wrong.

/is not a die hard Maiden fan

[Lord Abortion]

dave murray is also from the start
we want u.k dates!!!

[AB/CD]

only steve dave murray got kicked out shortly before they became famous then the singer they had left and steve tried to get all the original people back but only dave came back as far as i no

[Lord Abortion]

yes but not for long...
from the start of any sort of fame dave has been a constant member

[ashman]

only steve dave murray got kicked out shortly before they became famous then the singer they had left and steve tried to get all the original people back but only dave came back as far as i no

Dave was chucked put about year before they got signed, they were a four piece then. Steve and Dave used to harmonise with each other, which is cool. But Dave was thrown out because the singer at the time (before Dianno) said something and Steve told him to leave.

Maiden Authority 1...you...0.75 :thumb:

this would be the kiss- worshipping dennis wilcock ...yes?
who used to run a fake sword across his tongue and spit out gobfuls of fake blood causing two lasses in the front row at one show to faint

lord abortion curls a lovely free kick into the top left hand corner to make it one-all :lol:

[vashts80]

Yes, this was Dennis Wilcox. Or was is Wilcock? I can't remember. I think it was Wilcox though

[AB/CD]

ashman i think youll find u just said near enough the same thing i said i just couldnt remember the singers name but if u notice i did say before they became famous and by that i laos meant before they got signed

[willis2441]

i dont know any of iron maidens band member names,but,which singer did you guys like better?

[coolidgeALL]

Bruce, all the way

[willis2441]

i dont know any of iron maidens band member names,but,which singer did you guys like better?
that,my friends,is too much lmfao

[AB/CD]

if u dont no the members names how would u be able to judge each singer do u just say the 1 who sounds like hes got tight undies or what

[vashts80]

I like Bruce for his and Paul's stuff, but Blaze's stuff should only be sung by Blaze imo, simply because it fitted Blaze's lower voice more than it does the air-raid siren of Bruce.

[Stew_Blink]

me and like my 2 best friends (one of them being the most maiden knowing guy i know) were moshing (thats right all 3 of us) to the intire Rock In Rio DVD :p haha it was a blast..and like we'd do solos and stuff..yeah were really..uhh dumb like that? and also this has nothing to do with maiden but we hit golfballs at houses in the trailer park across from my friends house. it was fun..except when we like broke the siding on one and had to run like hell.

[Stew_Blink]

I'd say i like Bruce more than any of them..i really dislike Paul for some reason..i find him...fruity? i dunno..and i don't like Blaze that much either for some reason, although both do have good voices..Bruce's seems to just be a better singer to me, and fits maiden way better than the other 2. without him maidens line up of today wouldn't be as good as it is.

[shadow_stalker]

dave murray is also from the start
we want u.k dates!!!

Maybe they are going to be ignorant and give England a miss. :lol:










:upset:

[ashman]

ashman i think youll find u just said near enough the same thing i said i just couldnt remember the singers name but if u notice i did say before they became famous and by that i laos meant before they got signed

Whatever....Maiden authority's always right :thumb:

You did say just before they were famous and it was quite a while before they got famous.

[ashman]

Bruce is more suited for the Maiden stuff. Blaze just doesn't have the range for Maiden, but for his own band BLAZE, his voice suits that music perfectly. Dianno was too....throaty for my liking.

[shadow_stalker]

Really saying before they got famous is a pretty open term, it could mean when they were babies.

Also by famous do you mean mainstreem?

[ashman]

When I meant before they were famous I meant before they were signed. I know there were pretty famous before then, especially with all the coverage they got, with the 'Pre-Kerrang!' magazine.

[shadow_stalker]

ah ok.

Also same question to AB/DC.

[Stew_Blink]

although this most likely has been done before i'd like to hear every ones top 10 maiden songs..

[vashts80]

I need a complete bass tab for Blood on the World's Hands. :(

The only one I've been able to find is the same with, with the first minute or so (it goes up until the rest of the band breaks in)

It's annoying me.

ANYWAYS...Blood on the World's Hands Live (Eddie's Archives) > BotWH Studio

Aye 'tis. Try this for the bass tabs; Get the Guitar tab for it (if it exists) and use the Root notes of the chords. :thumb:

[Josh]

Top 10 maiden - way too hard to chose. currently:
1. Rime of the ancient mariner
2. Dance of death
3. the Clansman (RiR version)
4. the trooper
5. Moonchild
6. Powerslave
7. Journeyman
8. Caught somewhere in time
9. Fear of the dark (RiR version)
10. Hallowed be thy name (RiR version)

i havent been listening to maiden so much lately though, been listening to the dream theater and megadeth albums i got

[ashman]

There is a common trend in these top tens...

[coolidgeALL]

1. Afraid to shoot strangers
2. the trooper
3. Hallowed be thy name
4. deja vu
5. caught somewhere in time
6. wasted years
7. fear of the dark
8...

fvck this they all kick fcuking ***

[ashman]

NOOO, I missed afraid to shoot stranger :upset:

[coolidgeALL]

NOOO, I missed afraid to shoot stranger :upset:

dude, that seriously is the funnest song to play on guitar

[ashman]

dude, that seriously is the funnest song to play on guitar

Yeah it is, I can never get the solos though...Stupid Dave with his great skills

[coolidgeALL]

I can play everything I got off of Mx tabs, but I dunno. Is that more of a riff with all those full bends and stuff?

[ashman]

I can play everything I got off of Mx tabs, but I dunno. Is that more of a riff with all those full bends and stuff?

The bendy riff between solos? That's probably the easiest bit in the song, I just have a lot of trouble with Daves solo. I don't learn Janick solos, theyre too sloppy for me.

[coolidgeALL]

Yea I think thats what I meant, its like 8-10b12r10-8 or something like that, they do it 4 times total, twice on the b string, then the high e string, than again on the b string. Thats probably my favorite part of the song, tho not extremely hard. Did that even make since at all?

Yeah it made sense. I love the way that Janick Harmonises as well, it makes me want to search out another heavily influenced Maiden Guitarist to Jam with...

[coolidgeALL]

Yea, I really like the harnonising in alot of there songs. I've only been listening to maiden for about a year, and I like judas priest and early metallica stuff, just to name a couple bands. what else should I check out?

[Stew_Blink]

I'd say Cradle Of Filth..although I'v only heard like 1 song..but my friend talks about them every now and then..

could you point out that common trend? just for those who aren't smart enough to read your mind or see the trend your refering to..

[Stew_Blink]

They're nothing like Maiden really.
oh ok..my bad. i wont refer bands that i havn't totally heard myself anymore :)

[Lord Abortion]

hallowed be thy name
sign of the cross(blaze)
dream of mirrors
still life
the trooper
paschendale
blood brothers
aces high
infinite dreams
the clarevoyant

very hard choice

[Stew_Blink]

yeah Dream Of Mirrors (RIR or normal) is deffinatly a rather good song, i find is somewhat not very well known, or at least to new comers of maiden.

Who else get's chills when the chorus of Blood Brothers comes on? i do sometimes, not when im in a rockin' mood of course..but if im sitting around at night and it comes on i just get goosebumbs..

[the_uber_penguin]

I listen to mainly death metal like Cryptopsy, Nile, Skinless, In Flames, Fear Factory, Psychotogen and Soilwork. I wanna hear some Iron Maiden songs, but I dont know many. Can you recommend some?

I've heard:
Number of the Beast
Run to the Hills
Rainmaker

In answer to your questions, it depend on what sort of music style you like, Maiden´s sound has the ability to sound different but you allways know it´s Maiden. Just write what kind of sound you want and I'll try to give you some good recommendations...

P.S: please escuse my enligsh gramar, I'm not english as you can clearly see...

1. Run To The Hills (Rock In Rio or Normal, Both Are Good)

there are also many other great songs that should be on that list but seeing as i said top 10 i'l just put those 10

If you ask me I have an answer who is good enugh for everyone of us, the simple answer for you question is this: All Maiden songs are simple topp 10, there all equally good...that´s what seperates Iron Maiden from all other music, whatever they play their fans love it, you can play witch Maiden song you´d like all the lisseners just love it...

P.S: please escues my bad english, I'm not from a country where english is the first language :thumb:

I started on Number of the Beast too. Then I went to Seventh Son of a Seventh Son and loved it even more than Number, try it out, it's awesome.

sliced bread is cool..don't need a knife, and that way i don't have to worry about losing a finger cuz i suck with knives (i cut right into my finger a little bit ago cutting carrots :p) and yeah NOTB is one of the best albums..I would reccomend Brave New World...or Rock In Rio...although that's just me.

This may be a dumb question but the four parts of the charlotte story are
1.Charlotte the Harlot
2. 22 Arcacia Avenue
3. ?
4. From Here to Eternity

So whats the 3rd part?

[vashts80]

FHtE is considered the 3rd part in the saga, actually.

[Deth]

whoops. Is there a fourth then?

[amateurdrummer]

From here to Eternity is the fourth part. Hooks in You in the third part. :thumb:


Eddie http://www.thoth.karoo.net/steve.jpg Try that.

[Josh]

hooks in you is the only part of that saga I havnt heard, its on NPFD right?

[ashman]

hooks in you is the only part of that saga I havnt heard, its on NPFD right?

Yeah. It was written by Adrian even though he left...

[Josh]

strange...he must have written it at the same time as SSOASS.

and about writing credits, in the album inserts do the credits mean who wrote the lyrics? or who wrote the music? or both?

[ashman]

strange...he must have written it at the same time as SSOASS.

and about writing credits, in the album inserts do the credits mean who wrote the lyrics? or who wrote the music? or both?

I think the credits go to whoever came up with the idea for that song and wrote the core parts of the song. Like in days of old, Steve used to play some Basslines he'd come up with and whistle the melody for the guitars.

[Josh]

ah, so that would explain why steve has so many writing credits

[ashman]

ah, so that would explain why steve has so many writing credits

Yeah, he is the main Maiden guy. I think he has 79 songs to his name.

[Josh]

wow....out of 130 or something as well

[ashman]

Yep. Dave has written 10, Janick has written 12, Bruce 23, Adrian 15 and Nicko 1. I think these include those songs were they collaborate, 'cos that doesn't equal 130.

[icebase]

Ha nicko's only wrote one song..............what was it i cant remember but i think it was good. Im getting tickets for the Dublin concert............yes i can finaly feel good again..........

[Lord Abortion]

To my mind, Hooks In You is the best song on NPFTD

I know these questions are the most frequently asked but...

1: What Maiden song has the best lyrics?
2: What Maiden song has the best guitar tabs?
3: What Maiden song has the best bas tabs?
4: What Maiden song has the best drum tabs?

I know these questions are kind of stupid but what da´heck...you only live once...

You just did that in the Metallica thread. Is there any reason behind this?

[Stew_Blink]

Nicko wrote New Frontier.

there are to many annoying/ugly people were i live :p and also like no guy singers..and my band desperatly needs one...and a good one. right now our singing options are our bassist sings and plays (which he can't do) or i sing and drum (which i can't do) and it would look super weird if the drummer was also the lead singer haha.

Yeah, it would look pretty lame. Just look at Atreyu.

This years setlist will probably be completely different, due to it being the Early Days tour...

I would rather see a normal setlist on Ozzfest over an Early Days setlist, but whatever.

[the_uber_penguin]

Hearing the old stuff will be cool.

I hope they still play The Wicker Man and Paschendale though.

Is your Ozzfest one of the last 7 on the tour. If it is, there's no Maiden. Check Blabbermouth.
