Iron Maiden

[ArnoldLayne]

do they still produce the album 'A REAL DEAD ONE' either (not A 'Real Live Dead One', i meant what i said)

i cant find it anywhere...

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^^

Look for the remasters. They put "a real live one" and "a real dead" one into as two-disc set, simply titled "A real live dead one"...i know its confusing, you may have seen it and just not known.

[DoktorShred]

UP THE ****ING IRONS, MAIDEN IS THE BEST BAND EVER: SHEFFIELD ARENA WAS THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE

Sorry for the noob typing i just had to let that out

[SwampThing018]

anyone know where i can get accurate "the wicker man" solo tabs?

[HondoII]

Powertab, Guitar Pro tab, or MX

[Arcarsenal Ghost]

Hehe, I made this thread forever and a day ago, and I didn't like IM back then.
But I heard The Trooper, and I've been d'ling songs by them recently:thumb:

[ArnoldLayne]

best album and best live album in ur opinion

[YDload]

Okay, so I was sitting on the bus this morning, listening to NOTB. Some other kid takes off his headphones and lets everyone else listen to it because he can't figure out what Cradle of Filth song he was listening to. Now, I had just finished listening to "Hallowed Be Thy Name" so I thought that may be it, and it was!

However, this one kid just had to say: "That's a great song, but the original version sucks."

!

Luckily someone else put him in his place: "If it wasn't for Maiden there wouldn't even be a Cradle of Filth, or any of those other bands you listen to!"

Fool.

[sensitiveorgan00]

CoF version = :lol:
But at least there's someone who appreciates Maiden. :thumb:

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

The Cradle version i thought was wonderfully done. great leads at the end, wonderful drumming, and they gave it a nice black metal touch without straying from the classic sound of it.

as for best live cd by them......easily "live after death".

their only argument is that maiden wear spandex.... they are in denial so they aren't really worth arguing with

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^^

Hetfield used to wear spandex in the early days lol. Anyone who bases a bands talent on "thier dress code in the 1980's" has nothing else to argue with.

[JMetallica]

What was wrong with spandex? :p

[TheArtist]

I hope everyone is watching headbangers ball tonight. Maiden is on and the rainmaker vid premeirs.

[sensitiveorgan00]

^ I'm watching right now. :cool:

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

What was wrong with spandex? :p

IMO nothing lol. Adrian looks preety good in them :) (j/k! sorta lol)

[HondoII]

Saw maiden in LA 2 nights in a row!!!!!

oh man i can even talk anymore. The concert was ****in brilliant. Some asshat kept throwing ice at bruce those and of course bruce cussed him out. On the first night Bruce fell off the ledge into Nicko's drumkit during HBTN. He was helluva hurt but continued the concert.

ill post a review later.

[sensitiveorgan00]

^ Awesome. :thumb: Two nights though, ****. IRON MAIDEN, post a full review man.

:lol: I loved it! i dont think that guy gonna throw ice cubes at maiden again..

But on thing:
Bruce: "Why dont i 'kin go back to england?!"
Crowd: "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!!!" :eek: :confused:

[Firecracker]

they rock.

[HondoII]

:lol: I loved it! i dont think that guy gonna throw ice cubes at maiden again..

But on thing:
Bruce: "Why dont i 'kin go back to england?!"
Crowd: "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!!!" :eek: :confused:


We were cheering bruce on for tearing this guy a new one. Not cheering the ice thrower.

[ArnoldLayne]

hey my comp wont let me see bruce get pissed off...ur video is nto working cud sum1 else, maybe HondoII give me anotehr link plz, i wanna watch

[JMetallica]

It's just an mp3 :thumb:

[ArnoldLayne]

ok
but mine still doesnt work lol
:lol:

[JMetallica]

oh, lol... i thought maybe the video or something wasn't working (which it physically can't :p )

The link works properly for me.... Perhaps you can right click on it and 'save target as' ... That might work for you. If it doesn't i am stumped.

[JMetallica]

We were cheering bruce on for tearing this guy a new one. Not cheering the ice thrower.

You were there?! ****, that would have been awesome. Bruce doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would say those things! He sounds like some of the teachers at school! :p

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^^

he was yelling at some guy in Chicago when i saw them in august, lol...maybe hes got anger issues we dont know about lol. the guy was drunk and bruce kept saying "ifyour so **** smashed why even come to the show, let people who wanna see the band sit up front you asshole" lol.

[HondoII]

yes i was there. I am currently typing up a review (since it was 2 nights and there were lots of things that happened its pretty long). Bruce later came out to apologize about losing his temper but it was understandable.

[suspect]

I just bought the newest Iron Maiden CD, Dance of death, and so far I think it rocks. Paschendale is my favourite song, but No more lies, Montsegur and Dance of death are also great. What is everyone's thoughts on this CD?

[madthumbs]

i love it, a very good cd, my favorite track would have to be wildest dreams or montsegur.

[ThrashMaster27]

It's a ripping CD! Not as solid as Powerslave, NOTB, SSOASS or Piece Of Mind, but it's still an excellent CD.

[lilpete86]

I love it now. DIdn't like it at first but i definately grows on you.

*saw maiden on dance of death tour* :cool:

[Jondur]

I was a bit dissappointed with it. I preferred Brave New World (of their newer stuff). DoD is on a parr with Virtual XI

[lilpete86]

Brave new world was a top album

[Thunder Fingers]

Well, Dance of death is an very strong album, i dont think maiden gonna be the first band changing their sound,. steve is a genious....


And the rest of them ofcourse...

[RockerGav]

I was a bit dissappointed with it. I preferred Brave New World (of their newer stuff). DoD is on a parr with Virtual XI

Likewise, but its still great.

I wouldn't know about the Virtual XI part though.

[ThrashMaster27]

I was just wondering what everyone thought was the most Power Metal of the Maiden songs. I'm inclined to say Flash Of The Blade....it reeks of Power!

Or so I think!

[manuscriptreplica]

its a great CD, i love it. i hate paschendale though, that riff (yes, THAT riff, the opening one) is excrutiatingly annoying.

[pantweasel]

I personally think that album is one of their best, it's got that Celtic sound to it. I've been addicted to "Dance of Death" and "Face In the Sand" for like 3 weeks now.

[Lord of Sword]

i think its one of their best, easily the best of the 90s (although the x factor and bnw are the only real competitors for that title). it has got a celtic sound on some of the songs. the 3 albums before it were like that though, and this one is different, which some heavier songs and a different sound. i like the whole celtic thing, but hopefully they'll have moved further away from that on the next album, like they started with this one.
paschendale is my favourite off the album. that intro riff is supposed to sound like distant artillery or something, like the riff after is supposed to sound like an artillery barrage. one of my favourite riffs off the album aswell. plus it was amazing live and contains janick's best ever solo.
all the songs on it are some of my favourites, except wildest dreams. but it was made as a single and to promote the album i suppose. overall its probably my 3rd favourite album, after somewhere in time and powerslave.


i also:

*saw maiden on dance of death tour* :cool:

[RockerGav]

Yeah me as well.

[mulletron]

I think that it is a really good album. Not their best, but one of their best.

*also saw them on the Dance Of Death tour*

[zeppelin_rules_62]

Flash of the Blade indeed

[HondoII]

go check out my cd review of this album (review section of site)

*also saw them on DoD tour in LA Jan 30/31*

[Firecracker]

i LOVE it!
my favourite on it is "Montsegur".
but closely followed by "Dance Of Death", "Age Of Innocence", "Paschendale" and "No More Lies"
i really can't decide, too many amazing songs on there.
*thumbs up*

[Thunder Fingers]

uhm.... Maiden arent Power Metal....

[play it faster]

the trooper = best song of all time

[zeppelin_rules_62]

uhm.... Maiden arent Power Metal....

Yeah, but some of the songs have a powery ring to them

[mickthemuso]

2 things - maiden predate power. theyre classified as true metal sometimes. i like the sound of that too. also. im really happy coz today i was rumaging through my mum's record collection and some of her brother and sister's stuff was in there and my late uncle had a copy of number of the beast on vinyl! so i took it home. he would have wanted me to have it. i am so depressed that i never got to meet him.. i reckon we would have had such a good time together.... anyway! point is that i got MAIDEN ON VINYL and its like the bes album too. :):):):)

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

I was just wondering what everyone thought was the most Power Metal of the Maiden songs. I'm inclined to say Flash Of The Blade....it reeks of Power!

Or so I think!

oh yes "as a young boy chasing dragons....." lol, also "Can i Play with Madness", the chorus has elements of PM as well, as well as the chorus to "heaven can wait". (my fav Maiden song :))

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Montsegur for me as well, i couldnt have been happier with the album and the boys of iron :thumb:

PS: i love Adrian :)

[Thunder Fingers]

oh yes "as a young boy chasing dragons....." lol, also "Can i Play with Madness", the chorus has elements of PM as well, as well as the chorus to "heaven can wait". (my fav Maiden song :))

thank u very much, now i have heaven can wait stuck in my head...(thats NOT a bad thing :D )

[Kaden]

PS: i love Adrian :)
Thank you:)

~realizes you weren't talking about me~ :upset:

[sensitiveorgan00]

*saw maiden on dance of death tour* :cool:

Me too. :cool: Great times.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^

not at all!!! its a blessing!!

ALSO...."quest for fire" has a power metalish chorus.

[JMetallica]

The new 'Montsegur' or how ever it's spelt has a more than a rough resemblance to power metal.

[JMetallica]

And I don't really enjoy Heaven can wait much. :(

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^

that song is one that i think defines Maiden's sound. The "woo ooo ooo" chanting, uplifint chorus, triplets in the verse, long musical interlude with solos by both adrian and davey, and a long outro...Maiden to the max.

try "caught somewhere in time". GREAT bass work by Steve :thumb:

[Thunder Fingers]

^^

not at all!!! its a blessing!!

ALSO...."quest for fire" has a power metalish chorus.

"Join My quest for fire..." man, i have been playing the intro to Heaven Can wait on my bass all the time since yesterday :p and its your fault!!!! :p :D

[Firecracker]

i love playing maiden songs on my guitar because they have such nice tunes to them.
especially, "dance of death", "fear of the dark", "no more lies" and "the clairvoyant".
woooooo!

[Trooper J]

does anyone know what tattooes each maidener have???

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

"Join My quest for fire..." man, i have been playing the intro to Heaven Can wait on my bass all the time since yesterday :p and its your fault!!!! :p :D

i too, have been singing Heaven can wait all day hehe, when i was working out with my friend we were singing it on the eleptical machines!

"i can't believe that really my time has time, i don't feel ready there's so much left undone, and it's my soul and i'm not gonna let it get away...heaven can wait, heaven can wait till another day!!" -Steve Harris 1986

hehe

[Joeeddstealschickens]

The orchestral version of Dance of Death is sucj an amazing song.The orchestra works so well.

[Joeeddstealschickens]

The best Maiden song is The Trooper.

Who's heard the orchestral version of Dance of Death.It was on the Rainmaker single,I think.Anyway,it's amazing!

[Phoenix_2003]

My opinion is that Iron Maiden is the Best British Band and Metallic are the Best American band. I cant pick between them they both rule too much. And especially as i saw both of them at earls court within a week of each other lol. And DOD is a kick *** album. I love to play dance of death. ****in owns.

[DoktorShred]

Ace album. maybe not as good as BNW but still in their top 5.

The songs worked really well live aswell, especially dance of death and paschendale

[thrashfanatic2010]

groovy album:)

[naboo]

Can someone tell me who does the first solo in The Lonliness of the Long Distance Runner? It's my favorite maiden solo.

[HondoII]

davey does i think ^^

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Its usually easy to tell the difference with Iron Maiden leads. Davey plays with his neck pick up and is more meliodic, uses hammer ons, and is very legatto. Adrian can either be very bluesly, string bends, or he can be the speed demon with long runs and blayzing picking. Janick, although a great riff/songwriter is a third leg lead player, and he is generally a speedpicker and sloopy in his leads both in studio and live.

[JMetallica]

Brave New World is indeed a stronger album. I find that Dance of Death lacks a high percentage of quality songs and that some of them made it on there simply to beef up the track listing up. Also, most of the songs seem to be just a little less well writen than previous efforts. One of Maidens weakest albums in my opinion.

ARGH! I hate that paschendale riff also.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

I think that for being a bands 13th studio album it is perfect. The fact that Steve and the boys can still crank out good music for this long, so consistantly, is amazing to begin with...now that they have gotten to the point in their career where they have "Nothing to Prove" its more about good songwriting and overall enjoyment for themselves with broadening thier sound. They have kept their classic sound without being repetative vocally and lyrically, not to mention becoming very good at "word painting" with the guitars on the choruses.

Overall, people are to hard on bands later in their career. Writing the same album over and over just to please the "original" fans bore both the band, and alot of fans who respect and enjoy all their efforts over the years, reagardless of lineup changes or directions they have taken. Dance of Death is a wonderful album and im proud to have it be appart of Iron Maiden's ledgendary legacy. enough said, if you dont appriciate it...thats your loss.

[zeppelin_rules_62]

its good, but not truly spectacular... it's no Powerslave

[HondoII]

im going to upload my LA 1/31 bootleg...ill post the link here when im done.

[zeppelin_rules_62]

please do!

[sacrifice93.2]

I hate to say this, but I think there is a tie for greatest British Band. It's between Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest. I can't decide who's better. Halford and Dickenson have awesome voices, and the talent of the two bands are equal in my eyes. I haven't seen either live, though, so I think that would be the deciding factor. Is Maiden touring this summer? I already plan on seeing Anthrax, Priest, and possibly Ozzfest, but I'm not sure.

[HondoII]

of course im going to go with Maiden over Priest.

[zeppelin_rules_62]

yeah, Priest were never as consistently good as maiden, though Painkiller rocks on some insane level

[Sirpukealot2001]

ive never listen to maiden, all these replies inspired me to listen to them. I love iron Maiden. "Run to the hilllllllllllllsss!, run for your liiiiiiiiiiiiifffe!"

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

if oyu break down Priest and Maiden, its a preety close matchup overall. Vocally, its all what you prefer...both Bruce and Rob have remarkable voices, that are distinct and godlike, guitars....to hard to judge, in riffs....leads...solos, they are evenly matched in my book. Bass, Steve destroys Ian Hill...no base for compaison at all. Drums, Clive was a powerhouse like Les Binks was, and Dave Holland was more of a "filler" drummer, but Nicko really enhances Maiden's sound with his stlye of drumming, and Scott Travis is just youy typical "run of the mill" double-bass junkie IMO. Songwriting, again...its all what you prefer. I think JP have to many filler songs on to many of their albums, while Maiden really do not, plus i feel Steve's style of writing is much more diverse (with album themes and styles) than KK n Glens. Lyrically, Priest are what define heavy metal, while Maiden are based more around history and ledgend...which is alot more impressive than singing about heavy metal in general.

my vote will ALWAYS be with Maiden over Priest, but i would never say that either are a better band.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

ive never listen to maiden, all these replies inspired me to listen to them. I love iron Maiden. "Run to the hilllllllllllllsss!, run for your liiiiiiiiiiiiifffe!"

another one joins the Aces High club ay laddie!!!!! :evil:

[zeppelin_rules_62]

ive never listen to maiden, all these replies inspired me to listen to them. I love iron Maiden. "Run to the hilllllllllllllsss!, run for your liiiiiiiiiiiiifffe!"

Actually, it's run for your LIVES!

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

ok guys, what song from any era could "Blayze" not pull off live ,vocally, no matter how he tried?

[zeppelin_rules_62]

Flight of Icarus, Aces High... there are loads

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

im thinking of "heaven can wait" "tailgunner" and "moonchild"...those would song wrong without Bruce.

[zeppelin_rules_62]

yeah, but to be honest i wouldn't want to hear heaven can wait or tailgunner, Bruce or no Bruce. There's no way Blaze could sing Icarus though, or Caught Somewhere in Time, or anything off SiT, or... well, most Brucey songs

[HondoII]

figured ill post this here as well:

This is the shortest one from the GMETID tour - Waldrock 2003. This one is about 40 seconds. At Rock Am Ring he did it for about a minute.

GMETID 2003 - Janick falls off stage in germany (next night he wears a helmet on stage lol)

DOD - Bruce falls off stage (i was there - LA 1/30), Bruce also falls off stage in Japan.

[YDload]

Why are these guys constantly falling off stage? Aren't those things big enough to hold everyone comfortably, or do they have some "excess baggage" on stage that needs to go?

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Steve has back problems from hauling that p-bass around, soon enough he'll take a fall too :(

Why are these guys constantly falling off stage? Aren't those things big enough to hold everyone comfortably, or do they have some "excess baggage" on stage that needs to go?


you've never been to a maiden concert i take it? These guys put on a hell of a show. Bruce is running all around that stage jumping over amps and such and janick is doin the same thing. Im, sure they know they may fall though. All part of the show

[lilpete86]

Thats why bruce gets so pissed if someone throws water onto the stage

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

does anyone know any Iron Maiden sites that have their show setlists from old tours?

[mulletron]

Does the NML pack have a maiden sweat band with it?
I've got an Iron Maiden sweat band. They were on sale on the DOD tour, and my friend got one of Nicko's sticks, it hit him in the head.

[lilpete86]

I went on the DOD tour but the q's were far too long so i couldn't be arsed to get one

[HondoII]

the q's?

anyways, H's birthday!!! (adrian for those of you who dont know)

Happy birthday H!

[mulletron]

Cool, Happy Birthday H, lets hope they keep making music for many more years.

[Firecracker]

Alrite, whats the hardest maide song to play on the guitar???

[axemanironmaiden]

** Maiden

[shadow_stalker]

** Maiden

there is an edit thing you know

on the guitar out of the ones ive tried i would say something like 'aces high' and on the drums i would say the trooper because theres so many bloody fills!

[axemanironmaiden]

Sorry I am new, i dont know how to edit. My opinion is sign of the cross, the solo is bloody solid

[Hydrogen_Apple]

Iron Maiden Rocksss !!!! BItCheS !!! FuuCK! :chug:

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

heres a good one for you guys...i was at the YMCA taking a steam after my workout with my buddy brian and we were inside and i had "running free" stuck in my head all day! well it was just us two in there and i started humming the chorus and i changed the words to "im takin' a steam..." (replacing "im running free") and we ended up changing up most of the songs words and were running around air guitar-ing, well outside were like 5 old guys ready to come in and when we stopped they all laughed at us :( they had been watching for awhile i take it lol. but oh well, the spirit of Iron Maiden was running high that day...as it does everyday...just thought you guys would enjoy that lol. -Frail

[naboo]

^ haha thats funny, I did something like that after hockey practice once with my hockey stick.

[axemanironmaiden]

I was in Asda and i was singin Iron Maiden the song " see the blood flow". I got a few weird looks

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Ok, heres a new topic for us to discuss. Lets say...Bruce gets injured and has to miss a few dates on a tour...which vocalist would you like to see sit in for him, and also which band members would best take over on vocals.

PS: pick singers other than D'ianno and Blayze.

my pics: Rob Halford, Ronnie James Dio, or Hansi Kursch
Iron Maiden member: Adrian has a good voice so he's my first pick.

[DoktorShred]

I've got an Iron Maiden sweat band. They were on sale on the DOD tour, and my friend got one of Nicko's sticks, it hit him in the head.

Gunna be my second sweatband aswell, i got one on DoD tour. I think the NML one looks better though

hmm...i would have to pick...wow...no one can live up to Bruces vocals but hmmm...im going to have to get back to you on that lol.

[sensitiveorgan00]

Hansi Kursh with Maiden would be awesome to see.

[HondoII]

w00t 666th post according to the forum (although the thread says 667 pfft)

[The Mercenary]

i saw maiden at donington last year, they played die with your boots on with adrian doing some backing vocals, which 'showed some age' so to speak! but he is my favourite guitarist in the band, theres just something about the way he solos......

paschendale (did i spell it right?) is a fantastic song!

do any of you guys get funny looks if you play maiden loudly driving around in your cars? :evil: (not that i care!! :D )

[Thunder Fingers]

i get funny looks when im singing along to maiden in my class room... And i would love to hear steve sing for a couple of Concerts :p

[lukeyj]

how come the metallica thread has more posts. they suck. maiden all the way... the masters of heavy metal, gods of riffs and hallowed be thy name

well this thread was made only a few months ago. But its catching up fast.

[Thunder Fingers]

OMG...

Bruces last concert - RAISING HELL - go watch that. Just wait till Bruces mic gives out and you hear Steve singing.

Dont u know his singing voice was the one used when maiden got picked up? Paul was wasted, and was not there, so steve sang many of the songs...

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

does anybody know of any good websites with iron maiden song meanings?

[Thunder Fingers]

I like metallica but i dont respect any of its Members... I respect Newsted, Burton and Mustain of the formers, but ther rest is plain bassist haters, or stupid looking bassist..., so Bruce can say what he want about them for what i care...

[HondoII]

Bruce is an idiot for bashing Metallica. I like Iron Maiden but I don't respect Bruce.


Guess that means the whole lot of Metallica are dumb****s for bashing Iron Maiden.

[Mekkalayakay]

I just bought my first Iron Maiden cd. :cool:

I got Killers, which I think is amazing.

Should my next Maiden cd be with Bruce Dickinson as vocals? (so I can respect both vocalists)

Piece Of Mind
Powerslave
Somewhere In Time
Seventh Son of A Seventh Son

any suggestions?
thanks

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

another "do-able" solo by them would be "Mother Russia", that was the second one i learned by them.

OMG...i was at a used cd shop today and they were playing "best of the beast" well, "virus" came on ...so i walked behind the counter and changed the song and the people were like "what are you doing man" so i pointed at the guy and said "i refuse to listen to a Maiden song without Dickenson on vocals" and the guy said "fair enough" and gave me a high five lol.

[RockerGav]

Nice one Frail :lol:

Does the cover art on Maiden albums affect the way you listen to them?

Like, for me, BNW is very sort of powerful, crisp and cold, but DOD is more mysterious, bringing out the celtic acoustic bits.

Anyone else find this sort of thing?

[Thunder Fingers]

thats 'kin childish, i take it you dont listen to Iron Maiden or killers then?

i can but i prefer dickenson, i basically ment "i dont like blayze".

i never heard that song, but i'll check out

Actually yes i do. Piece of Mind always seemed kind of dark to me and the cover did too. Powerslave has a brighter cover and the songs just a like that in a way... kinda hard to explain, but I know what you mean.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

oh... your one of them...

even the music from the Blayze era wasnt up to Maiden standards. Give or take a handful of tracks from both albums. "man on the edge" is identical to The Number of The Beast, and blood on the worlds hands falls appart after Steve's bass intro. I couldnt have given those albums a more positive attempt the many times ive listened to them. Their voice was gone when Bruce left, and the band did as best they could but it just isnt what id call worthy Maiden material. i know to many people who aggree with me to say otherwise.

[dazed and confused444]

does anyone here prefer 'iron maiden' and 'killers' to their other albums.....'iron maiden' is by far my fav maiden album...and i think number of the beast has good songs...but its a tad bit overrated....not as good as everyone says it is...

[HondoII]

nope...I prefer Iron Maiden over Killers but NoTB is my favorite album.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

i too prefer Iron Maiden over killers. "sanctuary" "remember tomorrow" "transylvania" "iron maiden" those 4 alone make is one of their best.

[SystMSe7en]

Iron Maiden kicks all total asshole ninogs

[TheUnforgiven]

Speaking of covers, what's your guys' favorite Maiden album cover?


I'd say either SIT or Live After Death.

[HondoII]

LAD..the booklet is awesome.

[YDload]

I enjoy the NOTB album cover because it implies that Eddie is more powerful than Satan. That makes him almost Jesus!

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Speaking of covers, what's your guys' favorite Maiden album cover?


I'd say either SIT or Live After Death.

live after death probley, but from studio albums id go with....Killers, its just strait to the point. Eddie with a hammer and slain foe grabbing onto his shirt, very good.

[DoktorShred]

^^^^

i can but i prefer dickenson, i basically ment "i dont like blayze".

Blaze rules, X factor is one of my favourite albums and his solo stuff kicks ***.

VXI kind of sucks tho, and agreed on virus

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

I do like The X Factor much more than Virtual XI. Ive heard his stuff with Wolfsbane but never from his Blayze band...hes a good singer, just i dont think he fit well enought with Maiden.

[HondoII]

My birthday was yesterday...now i have cash...too bad I have all the maiden cds and videos. looks like i shall have to go looking for LP's.

Save the cash to see them live.

Save the cash to see them live.

Already did. LA 1/30 - 1/31. Got them bootlegged as well. But if they ever do come back here I'll definitely see them.

Oh and I already have a fake pressed Soundhouse LP

[Deadsy]

I heard the song doctor doctor not too long ago and I really like it. I was wondering if any one knew if it came on a single? :confused:

[Thunder Fingers]

I heard the song doctor doctor not too long ago and I really like it. I was wondering if any one knew if it came on a single? :confused:

Not Maiden, but maiden have covered it, its orginally by U.F.O... its an B side, you can find it on "Best of the B-sides"

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

i herad rumors that Dianno and Blayze are supposed to team up for a tour? but im skeptical to see if that happens.

PS: i should say that some guy in all leather at a Judas Priest tribute show told me this, so i sktechy about what his soucres are...anyone else heard of it?

[ashman]

I haven't heard anything like that, but it would be interesting to see Blayze and Dianno touring together.

Maybe that guy might know somebody who knows somebody (u get the picture) that is a roadie or something. 'cos guys in leather usually know something

Ash

[HondoII]

Just got the NMLs EP...wow its awesome. Journeyman Electric version and Paschendale Orchestral version are superb. LMFAO @ Nicko singing Age of Innocence

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^^

im glad someone reviewed that, i am going to order it this week :) very intrested to hear it!

[HondoII]

What is everone's favorite Maiden B-Side song?

Reach Out - helluva good. Too bad "H" cant sing like that anymore...

[Thunder Fingers]

Reach Out Or Doctor Doctor! they are awsome! :D

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

EASILY i will pick "Burning Ambition", what great guitar work!!!

[ashman]

Reach out is pretty good, why cant he sing like that nemore.
I think the sheriff of huddersfield and black bart blues are funny.
I love the little bass intro to blood on the worlds hands.

ash

[ashman]

^I have changed my mind The best B side is the electrice version of journeyman.

[southofheaven666]

I've really been getting into Iron Maiden lately..I bought their self titled album and Piece of Mind about a month ago and just recently bought Killers..I havn't heard Dance of Death yet but I plan on getting it soon

up the irons!

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

my picks:

1. quest for fire, flash of the blade, sun and steel, and heaven can wait.
2. montsegur, be quick of be dead, drifter.
3. probley "the lonliness of the long distance runner" or "the clairvoyant"
4. Fear of the Dark has some weaker tracks, i still like them, just arnt some of my favourites.

[flappersack]

Fear of the Dark has some weaker tracks, i still like them, just arnt some of my favourites.

Really? Fear of the dark is one of my favourite albums :D
I love all of the tracks!!! Got some real unique ones like the appariton(spelling?)

[ashman]

4. fear of the dark and no prayer for the dying

4. Fear of the Dark

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^

another Somewhere im Time fan i see :) lol

and to Flappersac,

i LOVE Fear of the Dark...but some of the tracks "childhoods end" "judas be my guide" are good, but not some of my favouites. :)

[YDload]

Children of the Dam-ned is a good "dark and evil" song, but strangely enough, Number of the Beast is only dark lyric-wise. The music isn't very threatening itself.

[flappersack]

i LOVE Fear of the Dark...but some of the tracks "childhoods end" "judas be my guide" are good, but not some of my favouites

Ok gotcha ;)
not my favourite album either but i still think its brilliant :D


Dunno if this has been mentioned before in this forum but im sure many people hear at the end of songs (any band) players talking or dropping instruments etc. haha. Just wondering if anyone has noticed if someone has heard the band talking at the end of a song - The last track of brave new world, the thin line between love and hate(awesome song), i heard nicko mcbrain talking, well i think its him.
After the epic song ends(make sure volume is up) i can easily hear one of the members saying "oh i f*cking missed it" and the other maiden members laughing and repeating this comment.
I found this to be quite amusing :D go listen for yourself unless you already knew that and i just wasted my time :upset:

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^^

actually "no prayer for the dying" and "fear of the dark" were the first two studio Iron Maiden albums i got. i think "here to eternity" and "mother russia" alone got me obsessed with the band :)

[flappersack]

I have fear of the dark :) i have all maiden cds but a couple of live ones and the blaze era....and please kill me I DONT HAVE NO PRAYER FOR THE DYING!
poor me.


Btw seventh son and piece of mind are my favourites ;)


anyway all people look at my previous comment (before this one)

[JMetallica]

Before yesterday i could not have said 'I have fear of the dark', but now i can. :D

I was really surprised why people think it is sub par. While not being Seventh Son, it's still iron maiden! :D

[flappersack]

^^^^
Yeah man! fear of the dark rocks! It has Afraid to shoot strangers!!! My favourite maiden song :D
Amazing album.

I cant decide if i like Brave new world or dance of death more. Yes i have both and i cherish them...just which is better?

btw the thin line between love and hate on BNW has an amazing vocal part(although all bruces stuff blows me away) where in the pre chorus he says "i will hope, my soul will fly...etc" :thumb:

[mulletron]

Personally i prefer Brave New World, but they're still both great albums.

[HondoII]

I dont Have "Virtual XI" and i have been an Maiden fan for 2 yrs... i should try to get it... but no one have it... i have the same problem with Megadeth - Rust in Peace :upset:

[Firecracker]

i'm listening to iced earth's cover of hallowed be thy name, and it's actulally quite good.
better than cradle of filth's version anyway.

[flappersack]

I dont Have "Virtual XI" and i have been an Maiden fan for 2 yrs... i should try to get it... but no one have it... i have the same problem with Megadeth - Rust in Peace I have Rust in peace, its one of my favourite albums.

But hey, does anyone know the future of iron maiden? are they thinking of making another album in future years? Iron maiden has never let me down with new releases (even though ive only been a fan for 2 years*sorry*) im just hoping they never go down the metallica path - saint anger, or should i say saint joke :D

Yes so, two things:
1. Future of maiden?
2 and also, who has heard dickinsons solo work?

\m/

i very much doubt they will go down the same path as metallica, maiden have steve harris, metallica dont... harris use to stand for what he belive... and they have promised another album...(well, Dickinson Have)

i have heard his solo work, Great stuff!

[Oni Link]

Iron Maiden will continue to kick ***, as demonstrated by Dance of Death and BNW, and will never go the way of Metallica. If they do, I'll be very sad indeed.

And Bruce's solo work is quite great as far as I have heard.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Maiden's future looks more than bright, with the direction that "brave new world" and "dance of death" i am 110% assured that their albums to come will be just as memorable and wonderful additions to the Iron Maiden cataloge.

Bruces solo work, he has some good stuff. I like "a chemical wedding" best because i enjoy Adrian's guitar work on it, i found "Skunkworks" to be rather dull, and earlier works like "tatooted millionare" i also liked, but its VERY hard to listen to his voice not backed by the sound of Iron Maiden.

What?! fills? Powerslave dont sound like it have alot of "Album fillers"
i would say that Fear of the Dark or no prayer for the dying have the most of them...

Yeah but I don't own either of those.

I think any album Iron Maiden album coming out in the near future will be well worth the price, as BNW was one of their best ever, and DOD had some great moments.

Ah, i am eternally greatful for iron maiden and steve harris - musical titan (greeks believed titans were more powerful than the gods) also im not greek. my girlfriend is half greek though.:D (irrelevant) AH that brings up a new topic. I became an iron maiden fan a couple of years ago and since then i turned a couple of my mates and my girlfriend(also my best friend) into maiden fans.
I'm building up an army - join me on my quest!

oh yeah, that reminds me.
Moron in my class - "iron maiden sucks man, they are soooo poppy. rage against the machine is so much better"
me - "how many iron maiden songs have you heard"
moron - "one"

A week later this doofus tells me he loves iron maiden after hearing some.
btw sorry for posting often irrelevant posts*

up the irons!! \m/

thats very relevant man! turning on people to Iron Maiden is great, ive gotten a handful of my friends into them and they said their lives have improved due to being Iron Maiden fans :)


as for album fillers....No Prayer for the Dying i dont see any filler tracks, but Fear of the dark has some weaker ones towards the end of the album.

they said their lives have improved due to being Iron Maiden fans
thats awesome - i can understand why. Iron maidens music suites all sorts of moods like if your energetic or want to relax etc.

I was wondering what other bands fellow iron maiden fans like.
My favourite bands : Iron maiden(of course), Alice Cooper, Megadeth, Van Halen, Rhapsody, and the mighty judas priest :D

In addition to Iron Maiden, I also like Steve Vai. Oh and Metallica too. They're awesome.
