Iron Maiden

[augerbaugh]

I have to say, their older metal is far better than the new stuff. It's good, but you know....it is just way different. I liked the older more.

[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 )


please.

[ashman]

Try Losfer Words (Big 'Orra), it's really easy, I learnt it in about 10 minutes.
Dream of Mirrors is fun to play, just got to be able to stretch that pinky.
Trooper is good and so is Wasting Love.

[rik]

Try paschendale, i'm no guitarist and can easily play all of it (except solos).

[shadow_stalker]

Whickerman is not that bad for playing (i havnt tried to play the solo), also fear of the dark is very fun to play.

[Deth]

Wickermans Pretty easy, as is Run to the Hills.

[Josh]

all songs are easy if you only play air guitar :lol:

[shadow_stalker]

No, ollie would still have trouble playing them...

[Josh]

No, ollie would still have trouble playing them...
lol, harsh but true...he probably couldn't even mime vocals properly :lol:

[shadow_stalker]

Thats a horrible thing to say...i wonder if he will be playing next rock night...

[Josh]

playing?!? or destroying the sound system :lol:

[shadow_stalker]

:lol:

****ing awesome :lol:


Woo rainmaker is on!

[ashman]

Try paschendale, i'm no guitarist and can easily play all of it (except solos).

I've had trouble with on of the Rhythm parts to that song, oddly enough, the lead is easy, it's just the bloody rhythm parts.

The Solo to the Wickerman is quite tricky, so I replace bits with a bit of Shredding :thumb:

[led_zep_luvr]

but i need tabs too. can you people that made recomendations post a link or url to the tab for that song.

[RIP Dime]

all songs are easy if you only play air guitar :lol:
i have an inflatable plastic guitar to compliment my 5 real ones. i can jam on that thing for hours! :D

[rik]

but i need tabs too. can you people that made recomendations post a link or url to the tab for that song.
What the ****. Get them yourself. www.google.com

[Deth]

well, mxtabs is as good as any I've found.

[Josh]

taborama do good tabs as well, although i got confused when i was looking for some dream theater keyboard tabs, for a song that is pretty well only keyboard, but they only had guitar tablature for it :confused:

[bartman]

Eddie in the freaking house!

[Deth]

From the solo stuff I've heard, it sounds pretty good to me.

[led_zep_luvr]

it's because i dont wanna get some ****ed up version of the tab and think its accurate. but the people who made suggestions obviously know which tab it correct.

[GurS]

So guess what I listened too last night.

That's right...

listen with Nicko, parts i-vi

what a mad bastard. hillarious, but **** mad.

one of his jokes:

"did you hear about the queer shepherd?"

"he was mountain goats"

[RIP Dime]

From the solo stuff I've heard, it sounds pretty good to me.
i dont know why i dont really like dickinsons solo stuff. i mean its bruce dickinson what is there not to like

[Josh]

so, as our thread is quiet tonight, me thinks of a topic:

what songs are we fairly certain they will play?
methinks: the trooper, hallowed be thy name, wrathchild, number of the beast, run to the hills, revelations, still life, iron maiden, prowler.

i think invaders could be there, and probably where eagles dare and running free, but I'm not so sure.

[ashman]

Where eagles dare is a definite. Mr. McBrain said so...

[Josh]

when did he say that?

[vashts80]

God**** it. I wanna see Maiden live. No Ozzfest for me :(

Wahhhhh

[liveafterdeath]

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


u shuld listen to the song "the evil that men do, out of the silent planet, brave new world, iron maiden, 2 minutes to midnight, powerslave, the trooper, murders in the rue mourge, hallowed be thy name, and the wicker man. :)

[liveafterdeath]

God**** it. I wanna see Maiden live. No Ozzfest for me :(

Wahhhhh


have u seen the rock in rio dvd its fkin awsome

[RIP Dime]

God**** it. I wanna see Maiden live. No Ozzfest for me :(

Wahhhhh
i already got to see Maiden live...with Halford and Queensrche (how the hell do you spell that). Dickinson never stands in the same place for more than 2 seconds and the stage set-up is awesome

[RIP Dime]

how many other people here have seen Maiden live???

[vashts80]

I've seen them live on videos...

Live After Death
Donington 1992
Raising Hell (Bruce's last show)
Rock in Rio
Just a Dream (Bootleg DVD, 1/26/04 - Janick's birthday)

[ashman]

when did he say that?

In an interview at a Drum convention last year, where he also said that they will be making a new album next year.

[ashman]

how many other people here have seen Maiden live???

I saw them live in Sheffield on the 6th December 2003 at about 8:30pm. Me and Steve had a 'moment' :chug:

Since its an "early days" tour, they realy have no choice but putting phantom of the opera and Killers in there.... :p

[Josh]

how many other people here have seen Maiden live???
I saw them in Newcastle, Wednesday December 3rd 2003; they came onstage at about 8.30, after we'd finally got rid of shitty funeral for a friend.

[Thunder Fingers]

awwwwwww.. you poor thing.. we had arch enemy.. a little better...:lol:

(i didnt catch the music, i was more.. "Dude... thats a lady...")

[Josh]

awwwwwww.. you poor thing.. we had arch enemy.. a little better...:lol:

(i didnt catch the music, i was more.. "Dude... thats a lady...")
:lol: the biggest cheer FFAF got (well the only cheer they got) was when they left the stage and their banner got pulled down.

[ashman]

awwwwwww.. you poor thing.. we had arch enemy.. a little better...:lol:

(i didnt catch the music, i was more.. "Dude... thats a lady...")

I wish we got Arch Enemy, me likes Angela Gossaw :naughty:


Anyway, my new favourite song to play is Weekend Warrior, the verse is just so cool.

[GurS]

The rules are as follows:

You get points for the most minor things. mostly contributions to the site. the person at the top is the coolest mxer.

1. Med (14 Points)
2. Jom (5 Points)
3. Munky_magik (4 Points)
4. Jelle (3 Points)
4. Eddie-The-Trooper (3 Points)
4. Ashman (3 Points)
7. Metal Guitar (2 Points)
8. Cemetary Gates (1 Point)
9. Bobo (-1)
10. ICB (-12)
11. Riva (-47)

[Thunder Fingers]

[ashman]

Cool, joint fourth :D

Where are you Gur?

[GurS]

but it's a little outdated

contribute more to the site, and win more points.

[GurS]

Cool, joint fourth :D

Where are you Gur?

I'm exempt. I do the whole d@mn thing.

[ashman]

I'm exempt. I do the whole d@mn thing.

Oh makes sense...

How do I join this Maiden Authority?

[Thunder Fingers]

[Stew_Blink]

hello, havn't been here in a while..been busy singing maiden lol..i've been walkin around singing maiden for like the past week..so what's been happenin' (to lazy to read all that stuff)

[Thunder Fingers]

well.. you have only had discussions that dont intrest e lately :p i dont care what UK festival Maiden Plays :p so my post count have had a "time stand still"....

[ashman]

:lol: ok then, we'll come up with a new topic...



Erm...I'm out of ideas :upset:

[Thunder Fingers]

:lol: 'sactly.... i think we gonna start all over again with topics...

so.. what you think maiden goinna play on this tour? :lol:

I want phantom and Killers... if they play thoose i dont care for the rest...

[ashman]

This again...

Phantom and Killers would be cool. Maybe prodigal son as well, twilight zone, Total Eclipse, Prisoner, HBTN, Burning Ambition (I want to hear this song live SOOO Bad), Still Life, Revealations, Where Eagles Dare and the wildcard: Can I Play with Madness :lol:

[Thunder Fingers]

oooooh burning Ambitions would be secks! Hallowed is a song thats pretty sure that they gonna play... the trooper to.. i would love Rime, but i think that song is gonna come on the next tour if they continue the same way they do now...

I wonder if they will dress in the "early days" clothes...:lol: i would love to see thoose horrible pant of bruce again..:lol:

[ashman]

I wonder if Adrian would wear his tiger skin waistcoat like he did on Live at the Rainbow.

[Thunder Fingers]

I think he would scare alot of persons now... hes becomed...uh... bigger since thoose days..:p

[ashman]

I think he would scare alot of persons now... hes becomed...uh... bigger since thoose days..:p

:lol:

I reckon Dave could pull of the just wearing a Waistcoat thing though.

[Deth]

Dave can pull off anything he wants. He's so cool.

[Thunder Fingers]

Dave can pull off anything he wants. He's so cool.


yeah.. but still... i dont want him nude on the stage.... do you? :amaze:

[Riva]

Uh no... I don't want him nude on stage either.... :amaze:

[ashman]

Dave can pull off anything he wants. He's so cool.

Yes he could, he could also go naked, his guitar would protect our innocence. :p

[Deth]

Dave is only second to Nicko in coolness in the band.

[Thunder Fingers]

oh yeah?! and what if he turns to go back eh?! or uses that knee bending thing he sometimes does.. then its not that inocent u know...

****, i gotta find something to do...:lol:

[Thunder Fingers]

Steve is the coolness in Maiden!

[Deth]

As much as I love Steve (and I do) Nicko is much, much cooler.

[Thunder Fingers]

**** me old 'kin boots!

Steve is the thougness... though hesprobaly 1 meter lower than me, i wouldnt like to meet him in a dark alley(sp?)...

[ashman]

I think they're all cool, Steve is great when he runs around the stage and Ol' flatnose is a king...

[Deth]

That's right. A king among drummers.

All in favor of naming Nicko greatest metal drummer *ever* say ay.

Ay.

[Thunder Fingers]

yeah, i guess neil peart is rock....


ay.

[ashman]

Nicko is an amazing drummer....


ay

[GurS]

AY

oh yeh

[rik]

I prefer Nicko to Clive, but I think Clive was a better drummer.

[Madcap.]

Killers line-up is my favourite.

[GurS]

I prefer Nicko to Clive, but I think Clive was a better drummer.


agreed to some respects...

I mean, put it like this:

Where Eagles Dare vs. Gangland (purely in drumming terms). You can't decide, can you.

[ashman]

I just watched Maiden England, and I noticed to my horror that during the intro, when they are showing all those pictures of the band, there are pictures of Nicko and Steve in nothing but their underpants...

[GurS]

lol

[Thunder Fingers]

well.. i guess im of to see the norwegian Iron Maiden Tribute band with the clever name of "Maidenheads"...:lol:

[ashman]

well.. i guess im of to see the norwegian Iron Maiden Tribute band with the clever name of "Maidenheads"...:lol:

I was going to start a tribute band and call it "Maiden Hull". My city's called Hull btw.

[GurS]

I was going to be in a Maiden tribute band called "Iron Madmen". But then I decided, "allow", as a chav would say.

[ashman]

[Lord Abortion]

sorry for my absence ... where eagles dare pwns gangland in drumming
and H will look cool in his waistcoat...

[Lord Abortion]

I learned Iron maiden on the drums last week
was easy ...

[Lord Abortion]

No, ollie would still have trouble playing them...ha ****ing ha give me a drummer and a bassist and you me see me at rock night

oh and BTW josh ... learn an instrument and you can comment ...OK?

[ashman]

I learned Iron maiden on the drums last week
was easy ...


Cool, next...Out of the Silent Planet :evil:

[Lord Abortion]

ah slight problem there ... what else is easy?

[Thunder Fingers]

yeah.. Most exelent gig.... if the Bass player had played a Fender...

maby im just picky, but i dont like Maiden Being Played on 5 stringed Music Man stingrays, with what that sounded like BRAND NEW roundwound strings, gave it the most anoying sound for maiden songs... and the tone was 'kin wrong...

[ForiegnPenguin]

ah slight problem there ... what else is easy?

Most of the Clive Burr era is fairly simple. But learn Paschendale.

[paco999]

I love the lyrics on Paschendale, I even used it in a history project. The guitar part isn't that hard either.

[YDload]

I got The Clairvoyant and I really like it, especially the bass-only intro. But is that clacking intentional, or is it just what Steve always sounds like when there's no other instruments to cover up most of it?

[Thunder Fingers]

He either way sound 10000000000 times better than that mofo in "Maidenheads" i like steves clicks.... but im weird in my playing, i can choos them in and out of my own playing :p

[Deth]

It just a very trebly sound, so I suppose it's intentional.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

ahhhh good ol MX is still going strong

[YDload]

Fraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaail! You going to Ozzfest this year to see Maiden? Of course you are, why am I asking? I hope you are.

[ashman]

ahhhh good ol MX is still going strong
He returns?

[Thunder Fingers]

i doubt it.... he have been visiting once a month lately i have discovered :P

[Lord Abortion]

ah... he'll go and then come back like some sort of odd bloke

[the_uber_penguin]

I love the lyrics on Paschendale, I even used it in a history project. The guitar part isn't that hard either.

Until Dave starts soloing in C# minor :evil:

EDIT: Actually, it's not the key...its 175bmp, playing all semi-quavers (16th notes) for about 10 bars :evil: :evil:

The singing's the most amazing bit on that song.

"Cruelty has a human heart
"Every man does play his part
"Terror of the men we kill
"The human heart is hungry still

"I stand my ground for the very last time
"Gun is ready as I stand in line
"Nervous wait for the whistle to blow
"Rush of blood and over we go......................."

/blood freezes

[Thunder Fingers]

nah..

"Blood is falling like the rain
Its crimson cloak unveils again
The sound of guns can't hide their shame
And so we die on Paschendale"

does it for me..

[Deth]

The whole songs amazing, now don't argue over lyrics.

[bigbob]

hey guys im new here. i love it so far. all my cd's were stolen out of my car not long ago. would any of you mind sending me some of your favorite maiden songs? i had killers, great album. thanks guys. my aim name is I wupedbatman10 {craig}

Flight of Icarus, SOTC, Bring your daughter

[Deth]

Bring Your daughter-Easy, but not good.

[ashman]

Bring Your daughter-Easy, but not good.

It's great if you play it live, you can get the crowd going like Bruce did on RL1...

[Thunder Fingers]

Bring you daughter is a good song.. me likes it..... whats good its all after what the individual listener think.. so please, stop calling songs bad...

[Lord Abortion]

tailgunner is better than bring your daughter... much better live

[GurS]

i disagree. i don't like tailgunner too much, and bydtts is a great live choon. one which my band includes in it's live set list, too

[vashts80]

It's great if you play it live, you can get the crowd going like Bruce did on RL1...

Donington is good for Bruce getting the crowd going as well. I have the boot DVD and (official?) CD release of it

[Josh]

Paschendale (http://s28.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1REZQ9EMBP6DA2UM4PPXYU93KW)
sorry its about 12mb, its a 192kbs wma file.

[Lord Abortion]

not knocking bring your daughter... it's cool
but I don't like NPFTD anyway...

[paco999]

I like Tailgunner better, but I'm not a big fan of No Prayer for the Dying. I love the Fear of the Dark version on Rock in Rio, it somehow makes me feel like i was there chanting after the intro or also in the very begining when Bruce says "A light in the Black, or just a Fear of the Dark". Also, when Bruce sings Iron Maiden and the Clansman. I think its the only cd that has him singing those songs.

I wish I would of been there or any Maiden concert

BTW: No More Lies, the Trooper, The Wicker Man and Fear of The Dark aren't that hard exept for the solos.

[Josh]

FOTD dark was great when i saw them on DoD tour...they turned off all the lights, then:
Bruce: light goes on
/spotlight on Bruce
Bruce: light goes off.
/spotlight turns off
Bruce: just like that. Fear of the dark.

[bigbob]

The trooper is possibly one of the easiest songs I know (after the Wickerman), just learn the Adrian solo (soooooooooooo easy) and then just learn the key phrases in Daves solo and then do a bit of shredding.

For the Wickerman, I strip the tab that I got for the solo to the bare bones, learn the first two riffs in the solo and then only play the key phrases within the solo with some of my own patented fills.

Oh and you should never EVER learn someone elses solo exactly, I hate that, the Solo is the expression of the Guitarist, not the person who wrote the song and it's not what you play, it's how you play it!

Yeah, I can do The Wicker Man solo. I can't shred though. Your idea is a good plan for covers though.

My band do an "Iron Maiden tribute"...we do parts of each song (normally the chorus, not always though).

It goes:

Sanctuary (intro+1st verse) - The Wicker Man - Dream Of Mirrors - Paschendale (instrumental interlude, up to "Rush of blood and over we go") - Run To The Hills (bridge after solo up to the end).

We don't do any solo's because I don't trust myself to not freeze and muff it up on stage. I'm a rhythm player naturally.

Well done - maiden punnage ...

you lucky bastard maiden supported by dream theater... can you get better?

[Josh]

yeh...maiden supported by ORIGINAL GNR, or maiden supported by metallica (yes, maiden > metallica)

dream theater are good though.

[Thunder Fingers]

i think d.t is gonna support maiden on more than one gig.... personally, if d.t opens for maiden. i will be sleeping when maiden goes on...

[Deth]

Dream Theater with Megadeth this summer!

[amateurbassist]

Well done - maiden punnage ...

you lucky bastard maiden supported by dream theater... can you get better?

wot dream theater are supportin maiden?


who told you this?

[amateurbassist]

i thought the darkness could open for them.......

hear me out.......

by the time their cacophony of noise is done, the ppl who are there for the real concert will be so pleased to see maiden you could hear the cheering from Japan.

think about it...

[ashman]

Darkness opening for Maiden? No no no no no....

[Thunder Fingers]

gotta agree.. they wouldnt survive a half song....

[ashman]

I think I'd prefer FFAF over Darkness, that's how much I hate them...

Dave and Adrian are both through to the next round of top 100 Guitarists :D

[Thunder Fingers]

YEAH!! :D:D:D if any of them get in the group with alex lifeson im gonna have major problems...(not realy.. alex is my fav guitaist EVER!)

[ashman]

YEAH!! :D:D:D if any of them get in the group with alex lifeson im gonna have major problems...(not realy.. alex is my fav guitaist EVER!)
:eek: You'll be letting the Thread down, the Authority down, and yourself down.

[Thunder Fingers]

Sorry, but alex is the perfect guitarist..

[Stew_Blink]

No I'm the perfect guitarist..lol, not quite. I like Janick a fair bit as of late. He'd be my current favorite guitarist. I havn't been to this thread in age's..or so it seem's. Whats going on my fellow Maiden Fans?

[Stew_Blink]

We all need money....
I need money for headphones :upset: I need to "borrow" it from my parents..and then just not give it back..

[Thunder Fingers]

Janick is awsome... again i have to xpress my love for his solo in blood brothers.... ah... wonderful!

[Deth]

I can't tell the difference between Janicks and Adrians solos.

I'm just a loser though.

[Josh]

Adrian switches between different style within the same solos, Janick's are more melodic and Dave's are quite bluesy - i have trouble telling who's playing solos on the earlier albums though.

[Deth]

I know Dave from Adrian and Dave from Janick, but put them together and I'm confused.

[Josh]

lol...most of the time i just enjoy the solos without trying to work out who's playing it.

[Thunder Fingers]

i just noticed at rir that janick was playing it...

[Josh]

lol...i saw it discussed in here ages ago, then when i borrowed RiR i looked at who was playing which solos

[ashman]

I have no problem telling who plays when...but some solos I've noticed that Dave sounds a lot like Janick....

[Danger Bird]

Did anybody notice what happens when you line up the spines of the enhanced CDs?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v428/BPMead007/eddiespine.bmp

Yes. Although I only have four of them, I could see where it might lead to. Thanks for doing the work for me, though!

Also, a question: who are Steve Harris' biggest influences on the bass? I've read that he really admired Chris Squire from Yes and the bassist from Free, but I also notice a strong Geezer or Geddy influence. Yes? No?

[Thunder Fingers]

Geddy is a big influence, so is Phil Lynnott of Thin lizzy(Flatwounded 70's P bass anyone? :p) though they are only with their bands on the following list...

Band Influences -- Wishbone Ash, Genesis, Free, Thin Lizzy, Jethro Tull, Golden Earring, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath.
Bass influences -- Martin Turner, (Wishbone Ash) Andy Fraser, (Free) Chris Squire, John Entwistle (The Who)

copyed from http://www.maidenfans.com/?url=steve_harris.htm

[vashts80]

On Blood Brothers, Adrian's solo is from about 2:55 till 3:10, then Dave's solo goes from about 3:10 until around 3:25, then when it goes into the vibrato/bendy solo @ 3:26 till 3:57, that's Janick :x

[MaidenNut]

Hello new to forums and a maiden fan! Just want to establish a presence on this thread and maybe apologize for any repeats of stuff thats been said, due to the fact that this thread is huge!!!! Which also gives me a warm comfortable feeling..... *creepy glare*

[Stew_Blink]

Janick is awsome... again i have to xpress my love for his solo in blood brothers.... ah... wonderful!

that is the single most beautiful solo ever..lol. It's stunning. It makes every other solo ever played look stupid. Janick put's so much emotion into it and it just comes out amazing..every time I hear it I just go wow..The only thing that comes close to comparing to it is the part after the fast intro like thing for Fear Of The Dark (RiR). That is also stunning, the croud singing along is just amazing. But Janick's Blood Brother's solo takes the prize..by far. :cool:

Whoa..lol.. :D

[Stew_Blink]

That is REALLY hard to read.

My favorite solos probably Fear of the Dark (RiR of course).

[MaidenNut]

lol

[Lightning_Rider]

Yeah Fear of the Dark solo is great, I like the original, but I also enjoy the Rock In Rio version, Blood Brothers too, there's like one bend that just stands out so much its like whoa :eek:

[blue3]

Fear of the Dark is a great song.

NP : Dream of Mirrors

I knew there was an Eddie but I didn't think it Was the one from Iron Maiden (The album that is) :thumb:

[thelittledrummerboy]

Best solo on RiR IMO is The Trooper by Dave Murray. But then again I Love Them all.
Does the song Iron Maiden have a solo?

[amateurbassist]

i dont know....... but IMO the best solo is Daves in weekend warrior..... my mate tried to play it and nearly broke his hand...

[amateurbassist]

o by the way... iv been listening to POM and iv gotta ask... woth the hell does nicko say at the beginning of Still Life??? it puzzles me...

[Lord Abortion]

the start of still life, (one of my top 5 favourite maiden songs) nicko's impression is of Adi Amin, general 80's wierdo.
but backwards. he says "don't meddle wit' 'tings you don't understand" recorded when he was very drunk to piss off the religious right in england and america who stupidly accused maiden of being satanists.

hello maidennut, welcome to the maiden thread

stew, don't use that red text, man it's illegible

[amateurbassist]

Cheers For That..... Btw Do You Know Of Any Plans For The Part In The Maiden Dvd Series.... Continuing From Early Days?

[Lord Abortion]

Cheers For That..... Btw Do You Know Of Any Plans For The Part In The Maiden Dvd Series.... Continuing From Early Days?
the next part will be the dance of death live album/dvd which will catalogue bruce's return up to the present, a bit odd I know, i think they planned the next one to be live after death (powerslave- probably seventh son)
and that will be released sometime soon. Dance of death dvd will probably be out for christmas and will be a cross between early days and rock in rio hopefully :thumb:

[amateurbassist]

cool cheers for that..... hey i dont suppose you could tell me who is opening for maiden in Paris

[Lord Abortion]

cool cheers for that..... hey i dont suppose you could tell me who is opening for maiden in Paris
iv'e told ya... dream theater :p

[amateurbassist]

[Thunder Fingers]

yey! No Dt in norway! :D

[Josh]

lol, who you got supporting maiden then?

[Thunder Fingers]

i dunno yet... or wait... maby they are supporting maiden.... i dont think it says anything on the dates Maiden is playing norway..:( i dont want D.T i find them boring....

but i doubt that they will play a gig in Gremany go to norway for 2 days to support Maiden, and then go to greece to play a gig the day after....

[Trooper]

DragonForce are supporting Maiden at a few gigs.

http://www.dragonforce.com/tourdates.html

[Thunder Fingers]

Again they skip norway 28th and 29th June.

[Deth]

You don't want DT? Why not?

[Thunder Fingers]

You don't want DT? Why not?

they are incredible boring... and the voice of the singer is enough to get me running away from there...

[Lord Abortion]

they are incredible boring... and the voice of the singer is enough to get me running away from there...
unfortunately, though we don't disagree on much we do there
I love dream theater...

[Thunder Fingers]

im not the one to judge... people can listen to what they want, you could be listening to britney spears for all i care ;) i might have laughed, but i wouldnt have cared...

[Deth]

Well, I think DT opening would be awesome.

[ashman]

I wouldn't mind listening to Dragonforce if they were supporting...

[Lord Abortion]

I wouldn't mind listening to Dragonforce if they were supporting...
that would be cool but I would prefer to see DT

[ashman]

that would be cool but I would prefer to see DT


I said DRAGONFORCE!!!!!!


:p

[Deth]

Both would be better.

[paco999]

I wanna see Maiden at ozzfest on main stage with Sabbath and Sadows Fall.

[Speedmetalsymphony]

Im gonna see them in Gothenburg sweden on 9:th July
Mastodon and In flames will be opening, but i would have
liked DT to come.
Does anyone have a likely setlist, They better play Rime of ....
and Where eagles dare

[ashman]

They will play Where Eagles dare, they won't play Rime because it's the Early Days tour and Rime is on Powerslave and they are only going upto Piece Of Mind...

[Lord Abortion]

I said DRAGONFORCE!!!!!!


:p
and I said dream theater
dt= dream theater :lol:

[Deth]

Where Eagles Dare pwns.

[Lord Abortion]

they will play where eagles dare but open with prowler I would think

[ashman]

they will play where eagles dare but open with prowler I would think

What would be great is if they open with Ides of March, that would be sweet...

[Deth]

Or Murders in the Rue Morgue, Or Number of the Beast, or Where Eagles Dare.

Hell, they're all good.

[bigbob]

why does everyone hate the darkness so much? i think they are halirious. i saw them for the first time on the european music awards and was not sure if it was a joke or not. the song started to grow on me. i eventually bought the album permission to land and i was really suprised. after the less than stellar vocals it really is a fun time to put it in. its so obnoxious that is really is fun i think. its just reall indulgent funny stuff. i mean who else names a song get ur hands off my woman muther ****er? haha i dont mean to start a flame war here but i was jsut curious to see why no one likes them...ps i totally understand them not beign able to pull off a meiden concert tho.

[ashman]

I don't like bands that make little teeny boppers think they are goths because they listen to the Darkness...


oh and they suck...the singer has some ego issues...

[rik]

I don't like the darkness either, I was offered to go and see them so I did. Probably the most boring gig of my life.

[ashman]

I couldn't go to a Darkness gig...Maiden are the only people I'd like to see in Spandex... :thumb:


Just learned the 2 Main riffs to Afraid to Shoot Strangers...the timing is sooo confusing...but I mastered it, like the true master that I am...

[GurS]

So, who's gonna get brucey's new album on the 23rd of may?

[Thunder Fingers]

if i have money.... ME ME ME!!!

[YDload]

they will play where eagles dare but open with prowler I would think

I hope they would open with Prowler; it's such a kickass song that I could only imagine being even more powerful live. But I'm not a big fan of Where Eagles Dare because it seems too long for an opening song. Still, if the live rendition of it is much better, then I'd be satisfied anyway.

[rik]

The riff that comes in at 2:44 is one of my favourite riffs ever.

[GurS]

The two best openers EVER are 'long'... Where Eagles Dare, and Moonchild

[DarkMastermind]

I'll just step here to say that I agree, The Prowler would definitely make a great opening. My favourite song, however, would be Fear of the Dark.

[Deth]

So, who's gonna get brucey's new album on the 23rd of may?
After I catch up on the old stuff.

[Josh]

well, i think they might open with:
Prowler, then Ides of march / wrathchild, then invaders, then where eagles dare. that would be pretty sweet. i hope they play invaders, its a class song.

[GurS]

i don't think they've ever played it live.

I really hope they do To Tame A Land

[Josh]

to tame a land would be awesome live as well...will be a shame if they don't play invaders.
meh, not much point worrying about what they'll play, i'm seeing them (again) so its all good

[Deth]

I read in the biography that Steve really doesn't like Invaders, so if they have played it live, it's not very often.

[GurS]

I read an interview (from 1983) where 'Arry said that To Tame A Land is his favourite Maiden song.

I reckon they won't play both POTO and TTAL. I hope it's TTAL, but it'll probably be POTO :(

[Thunder Fingers]

Steve doesnt realy Like Aces High either, so we wont see that either...


i think maby they will do what they did on the killers tour.... ides of March as a intro and stratight into Wrathchild.... that would be nice

[Thunder Fingers]

I read an interview (from 1983) where 'Arry said that To Tame A Land is his favourite Maiden song.

I reckon they won't play both POTO and TTAL. I hope it's TTAL, but it'll probably be POTO :(

in the same interview he also said that Phantom and Hallowed where among his top 3 songs.. Phantom is realy a wish from the fans, and the band knows that, i think they will play it...

[Stew_Blink]

So, who's gonna get brucey's new album on the 23rd of may?

I may..it's a possibility..depends if I have the money at the time..Dream Of Mirror's is an amazing song, although most of you probably already figured that out for yourselves lol. I love the chorus and the "The dream is true.." part. It'd be my 2nd favorite Maiden song, Blood Brother's being my 1st.

[Lord Abortion]

if the alternative had happened and blaze had stayed as maiden vocallist, they would have played POTO on the BNW tour, it's Blaze's favourite maiden song

so I dunno...
steve didn't say he disliked invaders, just that it wasn't as strong as the other stuff on beast, other than gangland, and he feels they could have had a better song on there instead of those two...

[icebase]

IM BACK....................lol :thumb:

i have been kind of mmm not on the internet much lately. I have two tickets to ironmaiden............lol. Im goin down to dublin for it anyone else here goin to the dublin concert???

[Lord Abortion]

hey icey-boy what's up?

maiden dublin huh?
sounds sweet... goin' to leeds myself

[ashman]

So, who's gonna get brucey's new album on the 23rd of may?

I was downloading it last night, but my ISP was playing up all night.

[Max Destruction]

Alex is the best gutarrist and no only in Iron Maden[I]

[Thunder Fingers]

i didnt understand the most of the sentence, but alex lifeson is awsome, yeah! :D

[ashman]

Alex is the best gutarrist and no only in Iron Maden[I]

Sounds like a brainfart...
