Iron Maiden

[ashman]

Just basking in the joy of knowing that I'll be seeing Maiden this summer... :D

Lets see... there's two dates near me... go to both?

:amaze:

[MAthiAS]

Just hope tickets aren't ridiculously expensive... I'll sell my amp if I have to though.

Selling your amp? That's like selling your soul...

[YDload]

/worships at the Church of Nicko

"Invaders" is a Clive Burr song, just in case it hasn't been brought to your attention yet.

[ashman]

"Invaders" is a Clive Burr song, just in case it hasn't been brought to your attention yet.

Aye 'tis indeed. I thought he said a Nicko song, not Invaders... :upset:

/Self owned...

[coolidgeALL]

dammit, now I can't wait for summer... and to graduate.

[Josh]

well Ash, if you look at the tour dates, they are in Ireland a few days after Leeds / Reading...so hopefully....


/would sell annoying sister to get Leeds day ticket if maiden play

:lol: :thumb:

[Josh]

if anyone would be stupid enough to buy her :lol:

[thelittledrummerboy]

Did anyone go and see maiden on the Dance of Death tour? What song did they open with and do u have a set list?

[MAthiAS]

Selling your amp? That's like selling your soul...
No, selling my guitar is like selling my soul. And its Maiden we're talking about here...

[Josh]

Did anyone go and see maiden on the Dance of Death tour? What song did they open with and do u have a set list?
i saw them. theres a setlist posted a few pages back

[Lord Abortion]

Did anyone go and see maiden on the Dance of Death tour? What song did they open with and do u have a set list?
see previous page...
I want this early days setlist now we have done this before I think...
but still :wave:

Invaders
prowler
killers
where eagles dare
children of the ****ed
still life
revelations
the trooper
murders in the rue morgue
another life/twilight zone/purgatory medley( that's a good idea)
strange world
hallowed be thy name
iron maiden
..........................
remember tomorrow
..........................
the number of the beast
sanctuary

I have a funny feeling they won't play run to the hills
they may finish with running free rather thn sanctuary

[Black Dog]

which albums are on early days

[Lord Abortion]

iron maiden
killers
NOTB
piece of mind

[ashman]

The medley thing would be scary to say the least.

[Lord Abortion]

The medley thing would be scary to say the least.
:lol: but I want to hear them all...
and they are short so a medley would make sense

[ashman]

Could do, I think those 3 songs are all supposed to be linked somehow.

[coolidgeALL]

They seriously have to many **** good songs to do in one set

[ashman]

'Tis true. The should do a marathon of all their good songs.

[Lord Abortion]

sings...

"As I lay here lying on my bed,
Sweet voices come into my head.
What it is I wanna know,
Please won't you tell me it's got to go.

There's a feeling that's inside me,
Telling me to get away.
But I'm so tired of living,
I might as well end today."

[Deth]

This is kind of off topic, but with Ozzfest how does the rotating slot thing work?

In years past they rotated the second stages bands order. Like one day Throwdown would go first, then the next day God Forbid would go first. Lamb of God, Hatebreed and Slipknot stayed the same because they headlined the 2nd stage. :thumb:

Go to both fests if you can. Do it for my lack of Maiden.

[ashman]

Bumpage...

BTW I gave up learning Still Life, bloody awkward song.

nice setlist

/cant be arsed to do own setlist, will wait and see what it is

[MAthiAS]

Why wouldn't they play Run to the Hills?

[ashman]

Why wouldn't they play Run to the Hills?

They will, it is on NOTB.

[Josh]

Why wouldn't they play Run to the Hills?
they've played it at all gigs for...however many years. they may want to play something different. personally i think they will still play it, its one of their signature tracks

[ashman]

They didn't play it during the Blaze days (well not that I'm aware of) and they didn't play it on the Seventh Tour of a Seventh tour.

[GurS]

Bumpage...

BTW I gave up learning Still Life, bloody awkward song.

/learnt it



by learnt it, i mean i got the chords for it and re-wrote it as an acoustic folk-rock tune


oh yeh :cool:

[Josh]

i didnt know that

oh yeh :cool:

LOL, I was talking about the intro. Daves all over the place for that bit. The rest isn't too bad.

[Riva]

Run To The Hills wouldn't match with SSOASS anyway.

[vashts80]

They rarely played Run to the Hills on the BNW tour as well, I believe Rio was the only date they actually played it.

[Lightning_Rider]

I wish Maiden would come to Canada, specifically Montreal... :upset:

[ForiegnPenguin]

Can't wait for the Ozzfest.

[podbassist]

iron maiden is coming to ozzfest 2005 and i am going. I think i just splooged.

[blue3]

I wish Maiden would come to Canada, specifically Montreal... :upset:
Yeah I wish Iron Maiden would come to Canada too

[thelittledrummerboy]

Canada then Australia.

[ashman]

They rarely played Run to the Hills on the BNW tour as well, I believe Rio was the only date they actually played it.

Yeah that is true. Apparently, they hadn't rehearsed it for a long time

[Lord Abortion]

but they played it and it was brilliant

but the whole point of the early days tour is to play ongs that haven't been played for a while and RTTH was played last time
I know that other stuff was too but... hallowed be thy name pwns run to the hills

[ashman]

I just read an article in Metal Hammer about Maiden, and as it turns out; The Dance of Death live DVD will be the last part of the Iron Maiden History, it will be released in the early Autumn. But they said that the subsequent DVDs after will fill in the gaps.

[Thunder Fingers]

Ash have passed me yet? :p

I reeeeeeeeeeealy want that Maiden England VHS.....:upset:

[Deth]

I hope the next DVD has a whole World Slavery show. Powerslaves my favorite album.

[ashman]

Only 40 posts behind :p

I hope the next DVD has a whole World Slavery show. Powerslaves my favorite album.

It might have a bit of that, probably about 5-6 songs.

[Deth]

The stage shows really kewl. The next DVD will probably go up to SSOASS right?

NP: Total Eclipse-You know who

[ashman]

NP: Total Eclipse-You know who

I reckon it would go up to SSOASS. Might have a bit of Maiden England on it... :naughty:

[GurS]

Wasn't Maiden England released in 1992?

[Josh]

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000007VFR/qid=1111170285/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/026-1335430-5807645

1994 according to amazon. it also says it includes heaven can wait, but i though they never played any of somewhere in time live?

[Deth]

Who knows. Anyway, I'll be first in line for Part 2, I'll tell you that. I've watched the Early Days, including the documentary about 4 times.

[coolidgeALL]

This probably has been covered many times, but do you think they'll ever release another album?

i'm gonna get that dance of death dvd!

[Deth]

Of course. They've said that they don't want to become a jukebox like some other bands *cough Sabbath cough*.

On another note, according to blabbermouth, they're going to play an Early Days set at Reading as well.

[coolidgeALL]

Just made me day

[Deth]

Good to hear.

But...that means no Powerslave, SSOAS, BNW or Dance of Death. It's a double edged sword if you ask me.

[vashts80]

They played Heaven Can Wait a lot before Bruce left...I have the Donington '93 boot as well as Raising Hell, it's on both of them.

[MAthiAS]

Are they going to go back to the studio after the summer touring?

[GurS]

i don't think they'll be going back into the studio till 2006

[Josh]

agreed. they are almost certainly playing leeds / reading: they do ozzfest until the 20th august, then they are in dublin on the 31st august, so that should put them in the UK for Leeds / Reading weekend

[Thunder Fingers]

Good to hear.

But...that means no Powerslave, SSOAS, BNW or Dance of Death. It's a double edged sword if you ask me.

nicko have said somthing about that they will play the classics... so i bet the clairvoyant, 2 minutes to midnight and/or the evil that man do will be there....
(and maby Can i play with madness...)

[ashman]

Wasn't Maiden England released in 1992?

I thought it was on the Seventh Tour of a Seventh Tour, I'll just check when it was recorded. It was recored on the 27th and 28th of November 1988, so that is the Seventh tour of a seventh tour. Don't know why it wasn't released for a while.

[ashman]

Are they going to go back to the studio after the summer touring?

Nicko did say that they are planning to release an Album some time next year, so I reckon they probably will be going back to the studio after a wee break from touring.

[shadow_stalker]

I hope that they do release a new album soon.

Which album should i look into getting next 7TH SON OF A 7TH
SON or FEAR OF THE DARK?

[ashman]

7th Son easily :thumb:

[shadow_stalker]

Ok will do.

hehe im gonna try and order some Nicko sticks off of maidens website.

I love how Maiden's website shows stuff in £ rather than $.

[Thunder Fingers]

7th...

Bruce is releasing somthing new now.,..

[GurS]

fancy.


they probably released it in '94 coz people wanted more Bruce, even though he had left.

[ashman]

7th...

Bruce is releasing somthing new now.,..

Didn't know he was still doing solo work.

[Riva]

I suppose he keeps it quiet. Most people see solo work as a sign a band is breaking up.

[Josh]

i dont have any of his solo work, i'm going to get some of it though

[ashman]

i dont have any of his solo work, i'm going to get some of it though

I could send you some on MSN later if you want :thumb:

[coolidgeALL]

Is it worth checking out?

[Deth]

I've heard a couple of his tracks and I like it. He has a best of album somehow.

[coolidgeALL]

Thats cool, I'll have to look into that.

Has anyone noticed that in "the number of the beast" video, there are 3 misfits references? the misfits skull logo pops up on the screen and another time a guy wearing a misfits mask shoots a gun I believe.

[Deth]

I haven't noticed all 3. I'll have to watch the Visions of the Beast again.

Wow. That was a really random comment coolidge.

[coolidgeALL]

Yea, I was just watching it today and I thought i saw something flash acoss the screen real fast so I went back a few seconds and sure enough it was the misfits logo. I don't understand why it would be in a maiden video though, unless they influenced them? probly not tho.

[Deth]

I doubt it. I don't know what year the Misfits formed but it wasn't early enough to influence Maiden. Strange.

NP: Scarred-Dream Theater

[coolidgeALL]

Yea, that is kinda weird. They started in 77' I think. yea. Good video tho!

[Deth]

If by good you mean unbelievably cheesy and nonsensical then yes, I agree.

[musicanity]

Yea, that is kinda weird. They started in 77' I think. yea. Good video tho!

Maiden started in 76. :thumb:

[GurS]

i got his first album (bruces), Tattooed Millionaire. Dear god it's cheesy, but the title track rawks :thumb:

[Stew_Blink]

I find that his voice is deeper and for some reason that annoys me..and I find that his voice didn't suit Maiden..and when he was with Maiden they made like 7 songs just about war..I didn't like the way he infleunced them that much..but really i have nothing against him..

[Stew_Blink]

although Lightning Strikes Twice was done in his time..and it's one of my favorite Maiden songs..although I think Bruce might be singing it in the one I have (my friend sent it to me over MSN, so I'm not sure) :confused:

[Deth]

From the songs I've heard with Blaze, the problem isn't the vocals but the songwriting. Just IMO.

[Stew_Blink]

From the songs I've heard with Blaze, the problem isn't the vocals but the songwriting. Just IMO.

actually..i think your right for the most part..i still have a couple of problems with his voice..but his lyrics weren't all that fantastic..and the music when he was around wasn't really great either..

[Deth]

Most of the 90s was a crap period anyway for Steve and the gang.

[ashman]

Most of the 90s was a crap period anyway for Steve and the gang.

Some songs from BNW were written in the VXI sessions.

I think song wrting was great, the only thing that wasn't great was the production VXI IMO has the worst production of all their albums.

[Deth]

But the albums weren't up to the standards of their first 7 albums. Admit it!

[Stew_Blink]

But the albums weren't up to the standards of their first 7 albums. Admit it!

really! the first 7 albums and BNW to DoD all beat the blaze albums and that stuff!

[ashman]

But the albums weren't up to the standards of their first 7 albums. Admit it!

Frankly, as a Maiden album it wasn't as good, but if it was any other band; I'd say it was good. I keep meaning to get more Blaze albums, but I have to save up for my new rig.

I have the As Live as it gets by Blaze and it's bloody great.

yeah..if it didn't have to live up to the Maiden standard then they would actually be rather good albums..good point..

[ashman]

Blood Brothers, what an ace song. (listening to it right now)

[bartman]

i love maiden. anyone know when they will put out a new studio album or touring information?

[ashman]

Tourdates are on the Site, they'll be playing at Ozzfest, Leeds and Reading Festivals. New album is planned for 2006.

[Stew_Blink]

Blood Brothers, what an ace song. (listening to it right now)

i was just listen to that also..now i'm on children of the ****ed

[Iceman-rocker]

i like pretty much all of brave new world and dance of death, but theres only so much of the old stuff i can enjoy. old stuff id say is back past 85.
2 minutes to midnight
Number of the beast
The trooper
Those are probly my favorite "old" songs.

really! the first 7 albums and BNW to DoD all beat the blaze albums and that stuff!

Yes.

theres the whole thingy for ya..Run To The Hills and Hallowed Be Thy Name are still way better songs :p Number of The Beast is a really good song also though..

[coolidgeALL]

it would be "the number of the beast"

[Deth]

All hail Hallowed Be Thy Name! Second only to Rime of the Ancient Mariner if you ask me.

[coolidgeALL]

Definetly man

[Deth]

"The sands of time for me, are running looooooooowwwwwwww"

I'll fire that song up now actually.

[coolidgeALL]

That could actually be the first maiden song I ever heard, I can't remember dammit.

[Deth]

Mine's probably Run to the Hills or 2 minutes to Midnight.

[Stew_Blink]

"The sands of time for me, are running looooooooowwwwwwww"

I'll fire that song up now actually.

i think i shalt do the same..right after i finished listening to some funk :p im addicted

[Stew_Blink]

mine is 2 minutes to midnight (from GTA:Vice City) or Fear Of The Dark (RiR)

[Deth]

I can't say I'm a big fan of 2 minutes though. It doesn't do much for me.

[coolidgeALL]

mine is 2 minutes to midnight (from GTA:Vice City) or Fear Of The Dark (RiR)

Thank god for video games then!

[Riva]

The first Maiden song I ever heard was Infinte Dreams, on my dad's tapes.

[coolidgeALL]

your dad is cool in my book.

[YDload]

I too first heard Maiden through Vice City. 2 Min. doesn't do much for me now, but on live versions the energy is really brought up a notch.

[amateurbassist]

vice city IMO was the worst GTA game...... maiden prob the best thing about it... that and blowing the sh1t outta the army....... :D

[Josh]

i'm not that bothered, i tolerate his music, but i'm not a huge fan. incubus shouldn't be too bad either

[amateurbassist]

wot bout noFX.... my lil bro likes them and i cant stand them anymore..... but i suppose thats the price i pay for enlightening him and bringing him away from the evils of dance.....

[Josh]

meh....sort of punk stuff aren't they? i'm not a huge fan

[amateurbassist]

i used to like that stuff tho..... reely like it.... u no ... sex pistols... all that stuff..... but at least i have seen the light now..... :D

Listen chief, I said it in the Metallica forum, and I'll say it here. If you want to be taken seriously around here learn to type in English. This isn't ****ing instant messenger.

[amateurbassist]

Iron Maiden.. amazing band. Steve Harris goes up there as one of the best bassists ever. They are one of the bands that has an incredible amount of amazing songs, so you can never decide which CD to buy by them since each one is amazing.

<------- is buying the entire catalogue of maiden cd's..... arrive on friday!!




:amaze: :amaze: :amaze: :amaze: :amaze: :amaze: :amaze: :amaze:

- I don't want them to play run to the hills at the expense of a "rare" track... Iv'e heard it live
- hallowed be thy name beats all songs ever
- looks like our newest N00b is in the same college year as me and sacky boy...
LEEDS yes yes YES!!!

[Josh]

meh...

does anyone who regularly posts here have a problem with amateurbassist's typing, or is it just cjborton?

/will be buying Leeds day ticket tonight

[Thunder Fingers]

x factor goes beetwen my top 5 maiden albums...

[Josh]

i've only heard bits of it, but what i've heard is good

[Thunder Fingers]

The SIIIIIIIIIIIGN OF THE CROOOOOOOOOOOOSS! THE NAME OF THE ROOOOOOOOOOSE! A FIRE IN THE SKYYYYYYYYY!

[Josh]

i actually prefer the RiR version of SOTC

anyway its lesson time now, i'll post later :wave:

[Deth]

If I'm considered a regular than yes it's annoying. It's a lot worse in the metallica thread though, go and find enter natman and see for yourself.

[coolidgeALL]

I don't really care about all the spelling errors, I usually just skip right over them.
I think Fear of the Dark is way better than X- factor.

[Thunder Fingers]

Fear of the dark has its moments... but then there some more boring songs... i am of the conclusion that every song is perfect, just that some songs doesnt hit some persons as much as other...

The X factor have more songs that "hit" me...:p

[coolidgeALL]

yea man I see where your coming from, i like every Iron Maiden album tho. Just some better than others. right on.

[rik]

Hi all, haven't posted in here for a while. Looks like i'm going to reading so i'm happy, even though Maiden are really the only reason i'm going.

[Joe]

hey i think this is my first post in here...

so my friend burned me powerslave and two other cd's. they are amazing. i never realized how great 3 guitars could sound together

my fav song is aces high

[Thunder Fingers]

deppends.. is the other albums brave new world and dance of death? if not... you dont have the sound of 3 guitars....(atleast.. not 3 guitarISTS..)

[ashman]

i actually prefer the RiR version of SOTC

anyway its lesson time now, i'll post later :wave:

I prefer the B L A Z E version on As Live As It Gets, it just has more energy and they harmonise a bit better.

/traitor :upset:

[Thunder Fingers]

i actually prefer the RiR version of SOTC

anyway its lesson time now, i'll post later :wave:

yeah.. the backing screams in the end, gives the song a little more "bite"! :lol:

the sign of *AAAAAAH* the *AAAAAAAH* Crooooooss!" YARGH!

[Joe]

deppends.. is the other albums brave new world and dance of death? if not... you dont have the sound of 3 guitars....(atleast.. not 3 guitarISTS..)

i'm pretty sure its those two, i know D o D

[coolidgeALL]

glad to have you aboard man. Aces high, great song.

[ForiegnPenguin]

I just realized no matter how many times you watch Rock In Rio, it never gets old.

[Joe]

glad to have you aboard man. Aces high, great song.

:thumb:

just out of curiosity, what do you guys think of [sorry i don't know his name]'s voice? I think it can be annoying at sometimes, but it's pretty unique i think

[vashts80]

Blaze? Paul? Bruce? :x

[thelittledrummerboy]

It would be Bruce if he only has Powerslave, BNW and DOD. The only anoying vocal performance by Bruce IMO is Back in the Village.

Yes Rio never get boring.

And I haven't heard the whole X facter album, thinking of getting it but there's others to come before it.

Plus: Welcome to the Maiden thread gocaps99, they take well good care of you here. And it's very interesting at times.

[Josh]

sooo...my parents said i could go to Leeds, but i couldnt use their credit cards to pay for the ticket, even if i gave them the money - problem

but i spoke to ollie (lord abortion) to find out if it would be ok to give my money to his mother so she could get the tickets, and its all fine, so i handed over the cash and will be seeing maiden this summer :thumb:

[Lord Abortion]

welcome to the maiden thread Mr Gocaps and how will you be paying for your tutalage in the wonderful ways of maiden?

***we accept all major credit cards***

:lol:
I have never taken more of josh's money in my life...

*cough*loser*cough*

[Josh]

:lol:

\m/ maiden this summer \m/

[ashman]

Now then Maidenites, I just bought another Guitar on as an impulse buy, I don't know if I'll be able to see Maiden this summer now :upset:

/must survive 2 weeks on £20

[Thunder Fingers]

what you bought?

[Deth]

I wish I could afford to buy guitars on impulse. And see Maiden.

[ashman]

what you bought?

Just a Vintage VS6 (Gibson SG copy), it plays surprisingly well for only £170 and it looks really nice.

[coolidgeALL]

congrats on the guitar dude, how much is that in american currency? me am not smart.

I would say Bruce has a very wide vocal range, I like most of his stuff.

[ashman]

I don't know how much that is, but I'd guess at about $250 maybe.

Bruces range is huge...

[coolidgeALL]

I have an Gibson SG, as well, it can hold its own. used or new?

He could sing anything.

[ashman]

'Twas new.

I've noticed that Bruce tries to sing Blaze-ish when he sings those songs live.

[Thunder Fingers]

i like when bruce does that.. he kinda "pushes" it more if you know what i mean... like SOTC on RIR....


I have A fender Geddy lee Jazz Bass...:lol:

[Stevie]

Bruce doesn't have particularly good range. He can't go very low.

[Thunder Fingers]

Bruce doesn't have particularly good range. He can't go very low.

"is running LOOOOOOOOOW"

goes kinda low there... he goes as low as he need for maiden...

[Josh]

yeh, and he can go quite high...the scream on NOTB, after the "i left alone, my mind was blank..." part of it

[Stevie]

"is running LOOOOOOOOOW"

goes kinda low there... he goes as low as he need for maiden...

You mean from 22 Acacia avenue? That's the lowest I can think of in my head. It sure ain't low!

[Thunder Fingers]

that was hallowed....

[Josh]

Blaze's voice sounds really dark and evil on the studio version of SOTC, but i like how Bruce does it live

[Stew_Blink]

Bruce's vocal range is unbelevable..beats me :p

i have some kind of behringer..or something, im a drummer, and im not that great at guitar so i don't need a good guitar..

[Deth]

No, I guess you don't.

[Lightning_Rider]

Who else just loves the Clansman, especially on Rock In Rio. I'd say that's definitely one of my favourite Maiden songs.

FREEEEEEEEEEDOM !

[thelittledrummerboy]

I do. I think it's great the way the style and sound changes all the time.

[Lightning_Rider]

Seriously, and the whole song fits together so wonderfully... but then again so do most of Maiden's songs...

[thelittledrummerboy]

Yeah i know, there aren't big pause's to get everyone ready, it just flows you know man.

[Lord Abortion]

well that's my tickt and sacky- boy's booked for leeds
download is till problematic though...

[amateurbassist]

FREEEEEEEEEEDOM !


its brilliant...... i listen to it more than the other RiR songs.... and i know that blaze did it first, but blaze mutilates it.....

[Lord Abortion]

not a fan of the clansman really...

overrated IMO...

[amateurbassist]

thats how i felt at first but the song kinda grew on me ya know?
