[thedude182]

Blood Brother RiR is amazing...I love what they do in Sanctuary though...

"Left, right, left, right, so give me sanctuary..."

On headphones it changes the side you can hear the crowd from so you hear it like you were there, amazing...

[thedude182]

the dortmund sanctuary is incredible

I don't got it.

I must get it.

Mixing tenses is funny.

[amateurbassist]

im getting early days..... is it true theres some rare live di'anno concert footage on there...

[Lord Abortion]

not as good as the beast over hammersmith murders in the rue morgue

my goal in life is to hear maiden play still life live

[ashman]

im getting early days..... is it true theres some rare live di'anno concert footage on there...

There's Live at the Ruskin Arms, which was never released. Funnily enough Steve thought he lost the tape until he found it knocking around an old cupboard.

There's also Live At the Rainbow, which has been released before. I got it on Video ages ago, Dave has a huge stage presence on that video.

[Lord Abortion]

yup... gret version of another life
which is probably my favourite killers song

[Josh]

i need to run my albums through my computer again, to watch the bonus videos...

[ashman]

What's with the Avatars and titles? I'm confused :confused:

[Black Dog]

What's with the Avatars and titles? I'm confused :confused:
they were copying someone else in another thread

hahahahahahahahahah :lol:

[ashman]

...right


On another note, Janick isn't in the best Guitarists poll.

[Thunder Fingers]

:eek:

allthough hes a great guitarist(The solo he have in blood Brothers is one of the best i have ever heard.. its like... janick just tooks steves feelings from that song and put it into that solo.. its not amazingly fast, its not fast at all(speed aint all folks) its just the feelings he manages to push through that startup bend and the rest of the solo..)

back on track, although Janick is a great guitarists there are others that deserve it more, but watching that list, janick could out play many of them, both in playing and in song writing, and CERTANLY in stage presence..:lol:

if i had seen thevoting poll he would have maked my list... along with Alex Lifeson, John Fruiscant and Dave and adrian...

[ashman]

Dave and Adrian are there, so's Frusciante. I don't know about Alex Lifeson. I think Frusciante is in one of the current polls, go vote...

What would happen if Dave and H were in the same Poll? I'd be so stuck. Dave's a better technically, Adrian's better writing...ahh I couldn't chose.

[Thunder Fingers]

I like Daves Guitars better...:lol: i would have a major problem in voting there yes...

yeah, lifeson was in B, and frusciante in C....

[ashman]

Let's have the same conversation in two threads. :lol:

I don't know, I'd maybe vote Dave... :confused:


Oh we need to rally the Maiden army to vote for the same person if things get desperate.

[Thunder Fingers]

Yeah..(lets take it in here :p)

I think maby dave would get my vote too... even if Adrian looks alot thougher... :lol:

But to be honest, i think janick realy is my favorite Maiden guitarist for the moment..

but yeah.. dave... on older videos its always his playing, nd style of playing(exept for steve) that catch my intrest... and he have Very Nice Fenders to... *Homer Drool* gaaaaah.. Maple Neck gragl!*

[Thunder Fingers]

jeez.. am i realy unlucky, i will get Dave Mustaine, Adrian Smith and Dave Murray in the same...

[ashman]

Yeah..(lets take it in here :p)

I think maby dave would get my vote too... even if Adrian looks alot thougher... :lol:

Daves custom Fender is a beast, Fender should release a Murray Signature guitar...oh and make it cheap :naughty:

[ashman]

jeez.. am i realy unlucky, i will get Dave Mustaine, Adrian Smith and Dave Murray in the same...

Don't jinx it... :amaze:

[Thunder Fingers]

doesnt he use 50's fenders with floyd rose and Seymour Duncanm pickups? (and some with Dimarzio?)

there was one "Iron Maiden guitar" out, mostly made after Janicks.. i think it was released around the same time of Steves sig(wich.. is noting like what he use.. exept the fact that it have a maple neck and a Badass II bridge...Steves bass have a one piece neck, his "sig" have a glued...)

[Stew_Blink]

i think Janick is some what under rated..i find that Adrain and Dave get more attention, and Janick can really play..none of them have been in a poll yet have they (to lazy to check :p) also whata bout Slash from GNR..he needs to be in a poll sometime to..haha

[Thunder Fingers]

http://www.musik-service.de/ProduX/Gitarren/EGitarren/Fender_Stratocaster_Iron_Maiden_EN.htm here it is...

[Stew_Blink]

http://www.musik-service.de/ProduX/Gitarren/EGitarren/Fender_Stratocaster_Iron_Maiden_EN.htm here it is...


meh..not bad..i doubt i'd actually ever buy it..but yeah it does look a fair bit like Janicks guitar

[Thunder Fingers]

you would have problems getting one, their out of production... im planing on buying a fender mexico 50's reissue guitar, learn to play it, and then mod it after daves..:lol:

[Josh]

is janick's solo the last one in blood brothers?

[ashman]

is janick's solo the last one in blood brothers?

Aye. That guitar is Janicks guitar, and I don't want to sound like him :lol:

[Thunder Fingers]

i think janick got a nice guitar.... minus the rosewood fretboard..;) he got a decent sound to...

[GurS]

davey's got the most unique sound in guitar-world

[Stevie]

am i understood that people hate janick because he makes mistakes?

[ashman]

davey's got the most unique sound in guitar-world

I've nearly reproduced that sound on my Distortion pedal, if it had a Mid knob, I would Dave Murray Mk II

[ashman]

am i understood that people hate janick because he makes mistakes?

I personally don't like the stlye he plays, sometimes he can play amazingly well and sometimes he is so sloppy. That's my only beef with him.

[GurS]

his little march-type thing irritates me. And I can never EVER forgive him for The Apparation

[ashman]

his little march-type thing irritates me. And I can never EVER forgive him for The Apparation

Those were dark days.

[Thunder Fingers]

anyone have experience with Jackson guitars? :lol: i know that i played a jackson bass before, but i dont think i can judge them after my bass, and since i have NO expereience with guitars, help me out please? :p im lookin at the KE3....

[cobainus]

hey guys, wot we all talkin about

[cobainus]

the ke3 is a nice guitar

[Thunder Fingers]

You have played it?

[ashman]

Never played a Jackson, I've only played a Gibson Classic and my own guitars...oh and that bloke from Slipknots sig guitar.

[GurS]

bc rich?

[ashman]

Yeah BC Rich, the fretboard is too wide, didn't like it at all.

[GurS]

yeh, I ain't too hot on BC Rich guitars.

My favourite guitar EVER is a Jackson. KV2

[Thunder Fingers]

Aint that what Dave Mustaine used for a long time?

[GurS]

Yep.

I think H used it on the DOD tour aswell

[ashman]

I have so many favourite Guitars;

Fender 70s Strat (a la Dave Murray)
Ibanez DT200 (Adrian Smith on NOTB and POM)
Jackson RR5 Rhoads
Gibson SG
Dave Mustain Custom Guitar (Can't remember it's name)

There is some more, but I can't remember them :upset:

[Thunder Fingers]

yeah, i think his was a custom though? i know dave(Mustaine) had customs, but before that i think he used the standard KV2...

Maiden have used custom Jacksons long.. many of dave's strats are Jacksons...

[Lord Abortion]

janick is really cool anyway I like his style O.K but I don't profess to be a guitarist so I cannot judge

[Josh]

Eddie, when do you go and see maiden?

and Ash, are you going to Leeds?

and i quite like janicks style, even though occasionally he bends out of tune or gets bits wrong. his soloing is definitely more melodic than adrians or dave's as well IMO.


but unfortunately he wrote the apparition....

[ashman]

I don't know if I'm gong to leeds...funds have dried up..

[Josh]

ah yes, the impulse buying of the guitar...personally, i've spent £134 in 2 days... - not including food i bought yesterday and today - £30 on a driving lesson, £72 on Leeds day ticket, and £32 on a new virus program as my computer is badly infected

[Thunder Fingers]

28th and 29th June..

[Josh]

twice?!?!?!?
lucky bastard :evil:

[Thunder Fingers]

ooooooooh yeah

teh secks!

[ashman]

ooooooooh yeah

teh secks!

:upset:

[Josh]

so will you see them at all this summer ash?

[ashman]

Maybe...hopefully...

/hatches evil plan to kidnap maiden and make them play for me...just me....

[thedude182]

And me!

[Josh]

nah, you need to be part of a huge crowd at maiden, if it was only you it would be boring...well not really...but you would feel like a dick singing along all on your own

[Thunder Fingers]

:lol::lol: standing on the middle of a big field singing along to the trooper...

[Josh]

i will be doing that on Friday 26th August at Branham Park, Leeds :)

[Deth]

We can type some lyrics if you like. We're cool like that.

NP: The Nomad

[coolidgeALL]

[Deth]

Probably hurt your throat as well. Sorry.

[coolidgeALL]

[Riva]

Ooh! Only a couple?! Well, then. I'll be there, ;),

[ashman]

It would be cool to have the whole Maiden thread at leeds or Reading

[Riva]

Well, if I was a rebel billionaire, I would. But as it is, you guys have to describe it for me.

[Deth]

It would be pretty kewl to have the entire thread there.

NP: Flash of the Blade

[the_uber_penguin]

So, I'm gonna be a-going up to Reading on the Sunday
I got a weekend ticket. I'm going straight to the front of the main stage as soon as the gates open and staying there all day, like I did for Greenday last year.

[Josh]

[rik]

Had a bit of a piss up last night at my house. After listening to Maiden for a few ideas I decided it would be a good idea to get my mate to write "iron maiden" on my wall. Turned out really good actually, although my mum isn't to pleased theres permanent marker ink all over my wall.

[GurS]

get rid of kittybread plz?

[coolidgeALL]

I used to write band names on my wall... theres so many **** posters now you can't even tell what color the wall paint is. looks pretty f-in cool tho.

[rik]

classic...was it the proper logo?
Yer, he did it just by looking at one of the album covers, he's such a brilliant artist. I'm gonna get him to do Eddie next time he's round.

[rik]

I over did it with the booze last night though, woke up this morning with a broken finger and I broke other parts of my hand. Apparently I punched a brick wall, something I don't remember doing.

[GurS]

lol

i got pretty hammered last weekend. i remember about 45 minutes of the whole evening

[GurS]

I found this guy on SLSK, had SO much rare Maiden gems. Every album, bootlegs from every tour, SOUND HOUSE TAPES, etc.

[thelittledrummerboy]

Wish maiden would come to the BDO next year. You guys will have to explain every detail of the Reading festivel

[Josh]

i havent been properly drunk since my work's christmas party, which was actually before christmas. apparently i knocked an entire pint of john smith's over someone, but i dont remember it. i do remember some of use cutting the leads to a stereo with pliers while it was still connected to the mains :lol:

[ashman]

Last time I was wasted, I was with a friend who I had a crush on for a while and made a complete arse out of myself. I also missed them playing Caught somwhere in time at the night club I was at. And that was the night I fell face first into the snow and spent 10 minutes trying to figre out what it was...

[Thunder Fingers]

:lol: you 'kin Drunks....:lol:

Steve is a trained Draughtsman, so we're only honouring the work of his brother Draughtsmen*

*Complete and utter bullshit

[metalcritter666]

maiden should do a new album.
and a tour with metallica, judas priest and other great metal bands.
(well maybe not metallica, i have a feeling no one likes metallica here)

[Six Foot Revolver]

maiden should do a new album.

Why would you think that when about half the regulars to this thread post in the metallica thread?

[metalcritter666]

you post in the metallica thread.

i'm merely stating a good plan of action for britain's greatest band

[GurS]

that would never work. Too much arguing ove who would be headlining

[metalcritter666]

what if they did a joint headlining thing like metallica did with gn'r? i don't think maiden have ever done that before.

[GurS]

what did metallica and g'n'r do?

[metalcritter666]

'92? Jaymz burnt his arm?

Anyway if we want to talk metallica there's an official thread. let's keep this maiden.

then they had a big riot because axl had a sore throat so gnr left but really axl couldn't be bothered to do it.

[bartman]

I can't be bothered to read this entire thread so I'll just ask the question. Is it true that Maiden will not be on the last six shows of Ozzfest this year?

[metalcritter666]

they're at reading and leeds

[GurS]

I can't be bothered to read this entire thread so I'll just ask the question. Is it true that Maiden will not be on the last six shows of Ozzfest this year?

No













they're not playing the last SEVEN

[FlyingPaul_83]

That sux balls, that's the only reason i wanted to go, to see maiden. I think the nearest show where i live it the sixth to last show. Dammit

[ashman]

They're in the mother country instead (Sunny old England :thumb: )

haha axl is amazing..GNR was amazing..to bad they didn't do a World Tour together, Maiden and GNR..back when the whole GNR gang was together.

[coolidgeALL]

i wouldnt mind seeing maiden play with COB, as long as COB dont do their covers of maiden (cos they suck)

[Danger Bird]

[ForiegnPenguin]

Rock in Rio, preferably the DVD.

i really like Live After Death

[GurS]

Their cover of the trooper sucks. Their Aces High, however, is incredible.

[ashman]

haha axl is amazing..GNR was amazing..to bad they didn't do a World Tour together, Maiden and GNR..back when the whole GNR gang was together.

Already did that, GNR supported Maiden back in the day.

Don't think they exist, you'd have to listen carefully and jot it down. You know what Dianno's like, you can barely make out what he's saying.

Edit: Oh ant it's Live at the Rainbow....

something totally different anyway.
the lyrical theme is different altogether

Simple answer - no. If you go http://www.ironmaiden.com, under the video section, they got a drum-cam for The Wickerman on that tour - you can see his one-foot crazyness.

cool - cos i wasnt sure if it was one foot fast or two slow - and why is his face stuck in that stupid smile position for the whole of the dvd?

Fine, fine members of the Iron Maiden community, I require your assistance!

As I'm sure you're aware, Maiden are headining Reading Festival this August. I am going, as are several of my friends. Because I'm such a lovely person, I'm going to the trouble of making CDs for my friends, so that they can make more educated decisions on who to see (for smaller bands), and can know a decent chunk of the bigger bands' material so that they can sing along, and generally enjoy the performance more.

So, what I want to know is; if you were given a maximum of 20 Iron Maiden songs everyone must know before they see them live, what would they be?

Remember, it's a festival headline spot and not one of their own gigs - Green Day had the same slot last year, and only played one song from American Idiot, so I'd guess it's safe to assume there'll be a good chunk of classic 80s material played. But then, you guys will know more than me.

I'd also like to acquaint myself with more of their material. I only have Number Of The Beast, Dance Of Death, the No More Lies EP, and Edward The Great.

Any help is greatly appreciated. :)

nicko has only used a double bass pedal in one song (face in the sand) and he hated it.

why is he called nicko? i know it's something to do with when he was in Trust, but i can't remember why. and i can't remember what his real name is.

EDIT:
To Iai: they're doing their early days tour, so that's songs off the first 4 albums - iron maiden, killers, the number of the beast and piece of mind. 20 songs from those albums:
1. Prowler
2. Sanctuary
3. Running free
4. Phantom of the opera
5. Strange world
6. Iron Maiden
7. Wrathchild
8. Murders in the rue morgue
9. Killers
10. Purgatory
11. Twilight Zone
12. Invaders
13. Children of the ****ed
14. The number of the beast
15. Run to the hills
16. Hallowed be thy name
17. Where eagles dare
18. Flight of icarus
19. Die with your boots on
20. The trooper
21: Still life
22. To tame a land

ok...i went to 22...miss out run to the hills and flight of icarus if you want - most people have heard run to the hills anyway, and not everyone likes flight of icarus.

[Deth]

Simple answer - no. If you go http://www.ironmaiden.com, under the video section, they got a drum-cam for The Wickerman on that tour - you can see his one-foot crazyness.
Seriously, he plays Brave New World with ONE bass pedal.


All hail Nicko!

[Deth]

Another speed question. For all the bassists here, what's the fastest song you can play with 2 fingers? Mines Aces High.

Phantom of the Opera. Blistering!

Go ahead, ask Eddie-the-Trooper.

[Deth]

I'm attempting to play the Trooper with 2 fingers and failing horribly.

[YDload]

I'm attempting to play the Trooper with 2 fingers and failing horribly.

Yeah it's tough; I still can't do it every time.

The best way to do it is to alternate fingers every time, not just with each triplet. I was used to attempting it this way (M=middle, I=index):

MIM MIM MIM MIM MIM

But it should be:

MIM IMI MIM IMI MIM IMI

It works slightly better that way, but sometimes I forget which finger I'm on when I start each triplet, so I have to angle my hand to each side in order to remember which finger goes first.

[Deth]

I always switch fingers with each note so that's not a problem. I just need to practice to get my speed up, I've only been playing 2 years.

So have I. I've just been so excited to learn Maiden songs that I've really outgrown my experience.

[Deth]

I get a little sick of the

A:---777---333---555---777

progression though.

[vashts80]

I know Brave New World and Run to the Hills to completion. Woot!

I might try Rainmaker or Wickerman later tonight, Wickerman looks fun as hell.

[Thunder Fingers]

Phantom of the Opera. Blistering!

Go ahead, ask Eddie-the-Trooper.

:lol: fastest i can go is Phantom of the opera live from "Beast over Hammersmith" or Rime of the ancient mariner live at "LAD" what ever is faster... im NOT bragging though.. but i gotta say im a little proud of my 2 fingers...:lol:

Bet your gf is too :naughty:

The Trooper is so much easier with three fingers.

[Riva]

I cannot play Bass. :eek:

Blasphemy!

I know its their early days tour, but I really want to hear The Wicker Man, No More Lies and Passchendale as well...

(Please)

I know on their BNW Tour they also played old stuff...

[Thunder Fingers]

Bet your gf is too :naughty:

:upset:

[Riva]

I'm guessing Eddie doesn't have a significant other.

And yeah, I would hope they played Wicker Man and Ghost OF The Navigator, Early Days or Not.

Paschendale and Montsegur would also be nice. :D

[Locks]

Are Iron Maiden gonna play anywhere else in the UK this year apart from Reading & Leeds? I wanna see them but the festival line-up was so poor this year that I couldn't bring myself (even for the love of Maiden) to get a ticket.

no, reading and leeds only. i'm going to leeds, on the friday, just for maiden

[Locks]

****, looks like I'm going to have to fork out for Reading on Sunday. On the plus side I get to throw **** at Marilyn Manson.

[Josh]

hahahahahahaha. unfortunately i'm going to have to get to the front during manson so i'm at the front for maiden.

[RIP Dime]

is there anyone out there who liked Maiden better before Dickinson versus after he joined?

[Josh]

personally no, but i prefer Di'Anno to Blaze.

[RIP Dime]

well i do like Dickinson better too but ive had arguments with people who thought Di'anno much better...i like all maidens stuff tho its all good

[vashts80]

Bruze > Blaze > Paul

Paul would not have fit what came after the self-titled and Killers, he was too "punky" whereas Bruce had the range and that "x factor" (pun not intended) for the rest of the stuff.

[ashman]

I get a little sick of the

A:---777---333---555---777

Learn Revelations, my favourite song for the Bass. I love the verse bit, it's a good stretch. :thumb:

I personally like Blaze, each time I listen to one of his songs, I like some more.

Dickinson > Blaze > Dianno.

Nickos really name is Michael Henry McBrain, Bruce Dickinsons real name is Paul Bruce Dickinson and has his own Record Company called Air Raid Recods.

Just found this cool site, it's got loads of facts on it. Clicky (http://www.songfacts.com/artistfacts/getArtistfacts.lasso?combinedartists=Iron%20Maiden )

[thelittledrummerboy]

Dickinson > Dianno > Blaze.

I was thinkin of learning Montsegur on Drums. I just looked at the tab.

What is that song on the Early days. You have to watch that 20th century, thingy. Its where Clive is keeping the rythm with the bass drum then does a snare roll and into the beat. Anyone know what it is?

I was just reading those facts. Whats the deal with the feud between Bruce and Metallica?

[flamesofbodom]

I never knew there was one...

[i_sold_my_soul_to_rocknroll]

what about flight of icarus, number of the beast and brave new world? maybe go so far as to say run to the hills but thats really pushing it as its overrated

[Fiah]

Iron Maiden is the best metal band ever imo. Bruce vocals are insane , dave murray just striaght up TEARS IT UP , and nicko is the best drummer on earth.

My take on Maiden =)

[ashman]

I was just reading those facts. Whats the deal with the feud between Bruce and Metallica?

I don't actually know, I know Bruce or Steve keeps saying "We're not like 'kin Metallica".

This is bugging me actually, I'm might post in the nasty Mettallica Thread ask them there :naughty:


/starts flaming 'tallica :thumb:

[ashman]

Oh everyone vote Dave Murray in the Guitar poll now!! He's starting to struggle...

[shadow_stalker]

Sorry i already voted for laiho

[ashman]

Sorry i already voted for laiho

The Shame! The Shame! :upset:

[Thunder Fingers]

bloody hell! your a disgrace for the Maiden army! your not a clansman anymore!" :mad:

[ashman]

Quickly, vote Adrian Smith in the other poll....

[FlyingPaul_83]

already did

[Josh]

i voted adrian and dave :thumb: how many go through from each poll?

[led_zep_luvr]

can anyone suggest me some fairly easy song by iron maiden that song good with just one guitarist. thanks in advance for any help.

( not that any maiden songs are easy )

[led_zep_luvr]

DiAnno > dickinson > blaze


i think di anno is the best because of the guitar work they did when he was in the band. now most of their songs are galloping power chords. like the trooper, flight of icarus, and run to the hills for example. they are great songs anyways but the guitar work is nothing compared to older songs like "phantom of the opera"


edit: sorry for the double post.

[YDload]

I voted for the two Maiden guitarists in the polls, even though I really like Dave Mustaine and Kim Thayil.

Also, I have to say that "Prowler" is the best opening song ever. And it's a lot of fun to play.

[MAthiAS]

i voted adrian and dave :thumb: how many go through from each poll?
5

Sadly, Becker won't make it through.

[GurS]

Also, I have to say that "Where Eagles Dare" is the best opening song ever. And it's a lot of fun to play.


Fix'd

[YDload]

Fix'd

No way, that's probably their least impressive opening song. It's too long and plodding, but if you're a drummer I guess I could relate.

"Prowler" is a lot of fun to play on bass, and probably guitar too.

[GurS]

/lists all openers better than prowler:

Where Eagles Dare
Aces High
Moonchild
BQOBD
Sign Of The Cross
The Wickerman

[Deth]

Every Maiden opener is awesome. All of them.

Voted for Gilmour and Mustaine. Sorry guys.
