[ashman]

Guys... should i get a P bass? if i get a P bass i have all the basses im ever gonna use now...:p

Go for it...and get a maple neck...maple is where it's at...

[Thunder Fingers]

Go for it...and get a maple neck...maple is where it's at...

ofcourse, Maple is tha shiznitt! basses without maple dont catch my intrest anymore :p unless its a bass that can come with a maple fretboard, but they only have in one with rosewood, then ofcourse im gonna play that to get the feel :p

if i cant get it in LPB, should i take it in red? u know, like Steve have on the back on "A real live/dead one"

[Thunder Fingers]

Dude! phantom ofthe opera at "maiden Japan" is amazingly fast!

[ashman]

Dude! phantom ofthe opera at "maiden Japan" is amazingly fast!

Where did you get it from? I've been trying to download if for eons upon eons.

[Thunder Fingers]

soulseek

[ashman]

I suppose I should use that more often, I never quite got the hang of it.

[Thunder Fingers]

i just went in and searched... i didnt see any obstacles on my way.. pretty easy yeah, i managed to get my drummer to do that in no time(and shes a DRUMMER!) :p

:lol: j/k

[ashman]

:lol: j/k

well the thing that confused me was that some songs had bold text and others didn't. The ones that didn't, were the ones that I wanted, so I assumed they were unavailable...I'll give it another go tonight when I get home from college.

[Thunder Fingers]

Just click them to start download, i got the entire of Maiden japan in one night... and Soundhouse tapes...

[thedude182]

I hope they do some new stuff as well. I'd hate to go away having not heard Paschendale.

Hallowed Be Thy Name should be on the setlist...

I'm seeing them with Marylin Manson in support :where the **** is a "disinterested" smiley when you need one?:

[Thunder Fingers]

I hope they do some new stuff as well. I'd hate to go away having not heard Paschendale.

Hallowed Be Thy Name should be on the setlist...

I'm seeing them with Marylin Manson in support :s

hahaha... nice... :p

i think thats gonna be another band steve is gonna go "erh..they did a nice job, can i get away with that?"

:lol:

[ashman]

hahaha... nice... :p

i think thats gonna be another band steve is gonna go "erh..they did a nice job, can i get away with that?"

:lol:

Yeah I definitely see him saying that...

EDIT: Just downloaded Bruces new album...gonna listen to it after this Friedman song I got from the YSI thread...

[Thunder Fingers]

Yeah I definitely see him saying that...

that was what he said about that band with the slipknot guys..(i dont remember their name...)

[Josh]

paschendale won't be on :upset: its songs from first 4 albums only

[Thunder Fingers]

who knows.... i think they will take some classics, but i think they will keep away from the 6 + minutes songs from after the first 4...

[ashman]

that was what he said about that band with the slipknot guys..(i dont remember their name...)

Murderdolls I think.

[ashman]

who knows.... i think they will take some classics, but i think they will keep away from the 6 + minutes songs from after the first 4...

I think they might do one 6+ minute songs from the later albums...

[Thunder Fingers]

Murderdolls I think.

yeah, that was it.. but ithink they where realy anoyed on them after they had kept the maiden crew up all night and throwing **** to them when they told them to shout up...

they might do one yes :p (u thinkin fear of the dark right? i think thats 6+....)

[ashman]

Ok I just put Bruces new album on, and the first song is surreal...not good. But the second song, wow, it's an air guitar tune. It sounds completely different to Maiden and all the other Bruce songs I've heard. It's 'kin great. I hope the rest of the album is like this...

[Deth]

I just heard Children of Bodom's cover of Aces High. Pretty rocking.

[Thunder Fingers]

I just heard Children of Bodom's cover of Aces High. Pretty rocking.

it suck! 5 string bass with plectrum! :mad: DOWNTUNED!

[ashman]

I just heard Children of Bodom's cover of Aces High. Pretty rocking.

I didn't like it, completely ruined the feeling of the song. Too much...stuff on the track...


NP: Navigate the Seas of the Sun (some cheesy acoustic Bruce song)

[Deth]

Well, I just really like CoB.

I can see why you don't like it though.

[ashman]

Well, I just really like CoB.

I can see why you don't like it though.

I like what I've heard of CoB, just that song isn't wrtten for that style.

I do like the solo do, has a different edge.

[Josh]

i prefer the CoB version of the trooper to CoB aces high, but CoB aces high solo > original solo

[ashman]

I've not heard the CoB version of the Trooper...

[Josh]

its so fast its about a minute shorter, and instead of "whoooaaaa ooohhh oooohhhh" its just a scream; its much harsher than the maiden version, but i dont like the solo as much.

[ashman]

its so fast its about a minute shorter, and instead of "whoooaaaa ooohhh oooohhhh" its just a scream; its much harsher than the maiden version, but i dont like the solo as much.

Well that sucks...

I'm really starting to like Bruces Solo stuff more...

[Stew_Blink]

Bruce's solo stuff is awesome..I like almost all of his solo stuff.

[Deth]

Thanks to all of the Maiden thread who got me some solo Dickinson love, you guys rule.

[ashman]

Thanks to all of the Maiden thread who got me some solo Dickinson love, you guys rule.

No prob...

Do you want anymore?

[Deth]

No thanks. I'll pick up the Greatest Hits album sometime, and I want to be surprised.

[ashman]

Fair enough...I don't have that many, I only have the new album and 3 others.

[Thunder Fingers]

the best of album have some fairly good stuff, my favorite is Book of thel

[Deth]

I have many albums in front of it, so it may be a while.

[amateurbassist]

i cant wait for bruces solo album....... do you think they'll sell it as part of the merch. in their concerts? and what else are they likely to sell???

[Riva]

The usual. Shirts, mugs, caps, CDs, DVDs, fan stuff, probably novelty stuff as well.

I think Bruce'll be keeping his solo stuff seperate though.

[ashman]

Yeah, I think Steve isn't that happy about Bruce doing both his solo stuff and Maiden, so I doubt there will be any Solo Bruce stuff at a gig...except for the guys who sit outsides...those pirates..

[Thunder Fingers]

go vote dave, NOW!

and beetwen albums and tours they have said that the band aint that much around each other...

[blue3]

Dave Murray will probably make it to the next round..


I didn't vote him though.. I voted Jerry Cantrell

[ashman]

I don't know, there are a lot of well known guitarists on that poll....

[blue3]

Well if he doesn't make the next round, then I'll feel bad for not voting for him

NP: Hallowed Be Thy Name

[ashman]

If he doesn't get though, everyone WILL vote for H.

[Riva]

As they should. But then again, do you want to decide between Adrian and Dave?

[ashman]

That could be a wee problem...

[Thunder Fingers]

that could be a problem yes... and then ofcourse im gonna get so lucky that if thoose two get in the same poll, alex lifeson will be there to... i only have 5 guitarists i like.. and 3 of them is in Maiden :p

[Riva]

Haha, life will be bad for you that day, Eddie.

[amateurbassist]

wheres group A?

[icebase]

that could be a problem yes... and then ofcourse im gonna get so lucky that if thoose two get in the same poll, alex lifeson will be there to... i only have 5 guitarists i like.. and 3 of them is in Maiden :p

HAHA. I just love all three of them...........lol. i havent listened to maiden in like a week......................LOST ALL MY CD's............. :upset:

[Deth]

That sucks.

[Josh]

wheres group A?
it was up for like...the last week...its finished now. brian may didn't make it through :( .............. :smash:
fanboys-----------> :evil:

[ashman]

Stupid fan boys....

[GurS]

fanboys suck


but i guess we were all fanboys once...

[ashman]

fanboys suck


but i guess we were all fanboys once...

Nah... :lol:

I've just downloaded Dreamtheaters version of Number of the Beast (album), and it's quite bizarre. It doesn't have the right feel to it.

[Thunder Fingers]

i tell, you, its the keyboard, the horrible singing voice and the 6 string bass.... :mad: May frogs rain upon the 6 strings :angry:

[Josh]

i can imagine it would sound quite strange.
i like dream theater though.

[ashman]

I actually see what ETT means when they music is boring, I'm listening to an Album and it's just boring...

[Thunder Fingers]

I actually see what ETT means when they music is boring, I'm listening to an Album and it's just boring...

their music is a perfect ball... it might be sweet to look at for a while, but it soon turns boring, while a more bumpy one will hold your intrest a little longer(if you like to study balls that is...)

Like Maiden.. the songs are jumping around... D.T is flowing, and you kinda know where its heading...

[Josh]

yeh i know what you mean...but i like songs like that, as well as liking maiden.

[ashman]

Well have you heard the Dream Theaters version of Where Eagles Dare with Bruce? Bloody bizarre and kinda funny...

"No one should gooo...or something like that, it's been a while....oh I know this one"

:lol:

[Josh]

no i havn't heard that one...is it a live one?

[Thunder Fingers]

Well have you heard the Dream Theaters version of Where Eagles Dare with Bruce? Bloody bizarre and kinda funny...

"No one should gooo...or something like that, it's been a while....oh I know this one"

:lol:

kinda like Nickos "age of innocence"? :p

[ashman]

Yeah, I can upload it for you if you want...

[Josh]

yeh, go ahead

[Thunder Fingers]

your not on MSN man... ship it!

[ashman]

I'm doing some coursework ATM and if I go on MSN, people will start talking to me and I won't be able to get my coursework done and then I won't be able to party and do other student things that we do...

Oh here is that DT song:

http://s39.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=19TF5J5VIWPOD0FKY0Z95OW3PU


Enjoy

[Josh]

cheers...cant download yet, as uploading songs for you in DT thread :lol:

[Thunder Fingers]

thanks.

[ashman]

No Problem, they also did half of Killers and the Trooper...

[Lord Abortion]

who the hell are half the people in these polls?

I know nothing... they suck but dave needs your vote!

[ashman]

who the hell are half the people in these polls?

I know nothing... they suck but dave needs your vote!

I'd say the current poll has got most of the Guitarists I know and respect on..like Clapton and Wylde.

[Josh]

heh, DT & bruce doing where eagles dare is funny...sounds dodgy with only 1 guitar though.

/sending to Lord Abortion through msn

i was tempted to vote for Zakk Wylde

[Lord Abortion]

bruce and DT
sounds canny like...

[MAthiAS]

I voted Dave, this poll was way easier than the last. Chuck vs. Marty is impossible.

[Lord Abortion]

that's bloody funny!

"don't ask me, it's been ****ing ages since I sang this ****ing song"

[ef drummer 89]

Me likes Iron Maiden

[YDload]

Dream Theater is a band full of great musicians, but they treat music as a competition more than an art form. The execution is flawless, but the lyrics are really unimaginative and the keyboard overkill makes every song sound like an anime soundtrack or something.

Fine band, but they're no Maiden.

[Riva]

Hehe, LaBrie is a fine singer, but he really does whine a lot. Bruce is a much better singer, in terms of tone and range.

[zinner zero]

wich is the best song harris has ever played or the hardest one to play on the bass

[Riva]

Best song he has ever played? That's a toughie... Rime Of The Ancent Mariner and Losfer Words are both good examples. I'm not a bassist, so the hardest one would be beyond me.

[YDload]

Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Phantom of the Opera
To Tame A Land

...just about any "epic" song that was written completely or mostly by Harris will include some tough bass lines.

[FlyingPaul_83]

So i just got fear of the dark and it is awesome,Be quick or be dead is great, chains of misery, the apparition, and of course fear of the dark are all cool songs

[Riva]

So i just got fear of the dark and it is awesome,Be quick or be dead is great, chains of misery, the apparition, and of course fear of the dark are all cool songs

Quickly, hide the bolded part of your post! Eep!

[FlyingPaul_83]

Do you not like that song?

[ForiegnPenguin]

Most people don't.

[Riva]

Oh I do, but the rest of them may not. :-/

[ashman]

*wakes up and comes straight to Maiden Thread*

:eek: Blasphemers...

[Josh]

morning all...the apparition is, without doubt, the worst song on fear of the dark.
i was bored last night when i got in from school, so i watched the enhanced videos on FOTD.

[ashman]

From here to Eternity is a great video...shame about the crap Eddie though...

[Josh]

yeh...well, i managed to have the 1st 14 threads in R&M with me as the last poster, but now i'm buggering off so see you all later.

[ashman]

yeh...well, i managed to have the 1st 14 threads in R&M with me as the last poster, but now i'm buggering off so see you all later.

:lo: You crazy spam whore...

[Thunder Fingers]

Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Phantom of the Opera
To Tame A Land

...just about any "epic" song that was written completely or mostly by Harris will include some tough bass lines.

yeah, if you want a real challenge follow them live... to me "heaven can wait" have a thougher bassline, especially during the solos....

[Josh]

:lol: You crazy spam whore...
:lol: most of it was spam, i kept it as relevant as possible to each thread. and i have screenshots :)

school is so boring! nothing to do at the moment, don't leave for another 45 minutes, won't get home until about 4.15, 1 hour 35 mins away!

[Deth]

I don't think Rime is that hard. Long, but not really difficult.

The Trooper with 2 fingers though. That's different.

[Thunder Fingers]

u know whats even more boring? doing nothing...:p atlest i can wait for money to roll into my acount and see the money for an fender p-bass is raising every 2. week :P its pretty exciting...:p

[Josh]

steve harris uses a fender p-bass doesn't he? (with custom strings)
the government pay me £20 a week to go to school, because my parents don't earn much :lol:

[Deth]

That was off-topic.

[Thunder Fingers]

That was off-topic.

it was not, cause Steve Harris plays a Fender precision, and im gonna use this one for an Iron Maiden Tribute band.

and yes, steve Have sig strings, but the only difference from the original strings is the colour on the end of them..:p

[Josh]

ah ok. i'm hoping to get an ESP Ltd. B-50 bass by the end of this summer :)

[Deth]

Actually, Harris' sig. strings are made mostly of nickel instead of chrome, making the tone closer to his. I've seen them sold near where I am, but they are twice as expensive as normal strings.

[Thunder Fingers]

Harris strings is exactly like The original Rotosound flatwounds... and they cost exactly the same as Rotosounds other Flatwounds, Most people use 45 - 105 bass strings, steve harris have 50 - 110... even though thats still regular strings, but that and the colour is the only difference...

and they are Monel strings....

Rotosound RS77LE Jazz Bass and Rotosound SH 77 Steve Harris Signature Set are EXACTLY the same stings.

[Deth]

After some brief research, you are correct. I did read an article in Bass Guitar saying what I said though.

[Thunder Fingers]

After some brief research, you are correct. I did read an article in Bass Guitar saying what I said though.

they are wrong... i have played both strings, so i know!

[Deth]

I don't have a subscription anymore because they suck.

[Thunder Fingers]

i think bass player would be a safer bet...

[Deth]

I don't like that one. It's too dry for my taste.

[ashman]

ah ok. i'm hoping to get an ESP Ltd. B-50 bass by the end of this summer :)

Cool, so you're finally getting an instrument...

[Janick-MurraySmith]

im seeing maiden in august in dublin, wondering if any of you are goin? :)

[ashman]

im seeing maiden in august in dublin, wondering if any of you are goin? :)

I thinks Icebase is going...and how come you didn't vote Murray?

[i_sold_my_soul_to_rocknroll]

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed how "The Clansmen" and "Infinite Dreams" intros sound alike?

[ashman]

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed how "The Clansmen" and "Infinite Dreams" intros sound alike?

'Tis true, they do recycle a lot of riffs...the good ones thoug :D

[Thunder Fingers]

if you play bass, play the "Number of the beast" intro riff backwards and see if you can recognize...;)

[ashman]

if you play bass, play the "Number of the beast" intro riff backwards and see if you can recognize...;)

Clairvoyant?

[Thunder Fingers]

indeed

[ashman]

indeed

Huzzah...

I noticed that the other day :p

[vashts80]

Something I noticed about DT's cover of the NOTB album, on NOTB (song) LaBrie's scream sounds almost exactly like Bruce's on the album version.

[ashman]

Yeah, I noticed that...reaks of mimage.

[GurS]

/just got a copy of Maiden Japan

[Josh]

Cool, so you're finally getting an instrument...
yeh finally lol...will be much better than playing air guitar :lol: hopefully i will be able to afford one...

Eddie, how did you find out that NOTB bassline from the intro backwards is the Clairvoyant intro?

[YDload]

Eddie, how did you find out that NOTB bassline from the intro backwards is the Clairvoyant intro?

can't you tell? or do you need to play bass to get it?

i thought it was pretty obvious

[Thunder Fingers]

someone told me along time a go.. so i tried, and yeah, it was corect :p

[Josh]

can't you tell? or do you need to play bass to get it?

i thought it was pretty obvious
i never really thought about it, but now i've listened to the songs again it does seem pretty obvious.

[thelittledrummerboy]

When is the next part of the history coming out, most likely after the tour. Speeking of the tour, do you think they will bring out a live album of the early days. Would be great if they did.

[ashman]

Possibly, it would be cool.

[GurS]

When is the next part of the history coming out, most likely after the tour. Speeking of the tour, do you think they will bring out a live album of the early days. Would be great if they did.


I doubt it. I mean, think about it - BNW tour, live album. DOD tour, live dvd. I really doubt they are gonna make release live fodder from three tours in a row. That would be stupid, and I doubt Maiden would do that unless there is a huge want from the fans for such a thing to be done - I can only see two reasons to do it, you see. A) For the fans, and B) for the money. Seeing as they are not likely to do it for the money, if the fans don't want it it ain't gonna happen. If it DOES happen and the fans don't want it, I'll lose a lot of my respect for Maiden.

[Janick-MurraySmith]

I love murrays playing and i perfer listening to maiden then clapton but i do think clapton technically is the better player

[metalcritter666]

I love murrays playing and i perfer listening to maiden then clapton but i do think clapton technically is the better player
I don't. Prefer Murray myself.

[Joe]

I love murrays playing and i perfer listening to maiden then clapton but i do think clapton technically is the better player

i agree with that. clapton i think is a lot better than murray, but i'm starting to like listening to murray more

[ashman]

Clapton is a very emotional player, but he doesn't really try new things anymore...But Murray is a very experimental guitarists, he tries a lot of new styles .etc but he does only use the same key over and over and over over again...

[Janick-MurraySmith]

to stray on to a different matter whats the first maiden song u heard i heard aces high at 12 and i was hooked :D

[ashman]

to stray on to a different matter whats the first maiden song u heard i heard aces high at 12 and i was hooked :D

I can't remember, I was listening to Maiden whilst I was in the womb...My mum used to listen to them and I have all the original LPs from when they were released...

/has a Metal family :D

[Janick-MurraySmith]

That kicks ***

[ashman]

Aye it does....

I just noticed that I have like 70 hours of music on my PC...

[Thunder Fingers]

your realy going for the top poster in this thread arent you ash? :lol:

[Janick-MurraySmith]

between me and my 2 brothers i used to have like 3000 songs :P but had to reinstall windows so not as much anymore

[ashman]

your realy going for the top poster in this thread arent you ash? :lol:

No...

Nah, I'm just really bored, I'm supposed to be doing work, but I can't be arsed with it and there are nagging people on MSN so I'm on appear offline...and I'm just waiting for the Megadeth Discography to finish downloading...

[Thunder Fingers]

yey.... i guess i should realy do something to...

[vashts80]

A) I have over 7000 songs :P
B) First song I heard would probably be Run to the Hills, wanting to hear it after reading that Metallica kind-of botched the intro on their cover of Last Caress/Green Hell

[Thunder Fingers]

im watching bruce at discovery...:lol: Heavy Metal flights" or something...

[Whale and Wasp]

the first iron maiden song i heard was the trooper \m/

[ashman]

im watching bruce at discovery...:lol: Heavy Metal flights" or something...

Flying Heavy Metal? Is is any good?

[Thunder Fingers]

its kinda funny to watch him doing that... he sometimes seems allitle unintrested sometimes while talkin to people, but its cool..:lol:

[ashman]

its kinda funny to watch him doing that... he sometimes seems allitle unintrested sometimes while talkin to people, but its cool..:lol:

But Bruce...he is a god, I'd watch it for him if I had the Discovery channel.

[Thunder Fingers]

yeah, i saw the entire thing, and i will see more next sunday :p

Aren't most Iron Maiden songs in E minor? I can think of a few that aren't (DOM, NML, Journeyman and DoD, specifically).

In fairness, Dave does do his Paschendale solo in C# minor.

[ashman]

Aren't most Iron Maiden songs in E minor? I can think of a few that aren't (DOM, NML, Journeyman and DoD, specifically).

Yeah E minor...I thought Adrians solo was in C# Minor.

There are over 100 Maiden songs, most are in E minor.

[YDload]

I thought Powerslave and 2 Minutes to Midnight were in A minor (Powerslave is A Phrygian or whatever the "egyptian" sounding mode is called).

[ashman]

I thought Powerslave and 2 Minutes to Midnight were in A minor (Powerslave is A Phrygian or whatever the "egyptian" sounding mode is called).

Phrygian is a mode not a key...that's all I can remember about Modes... :upset:

[Stew_Blink]

Just out of curiosity how many people in here would consider themselves religous? Seeing as there is some controversy about how Maiden is the "Devils Music" (Stupid if you ask me)

[GurS]

Methoughts Lochrian was the 'egyptian' mode

[Janick-MurraySmith]

Gotta find out what mode powerslave is in its so cool :D

[GurS]

Whilst most maiden songs probably are in E minor, most of them modulate during the course of the song.

[ashman]

Aye there is a lot of changing Modage...though they tend to stick to Aeolian methinks...

[Josh]

Enough with the 50 cent relations allready! :angry:
search on a P2P program for "50 Pence", he's a british spoof of 50 Cent. i dont like hip hop / rap but 50 pence is hilarious. get "in da pub" and "P.I.N.T"

and on the religious thing: i believe in god, but thats about as far as it goes.

EDIT: ash and eddie both have 900 posts in this thread!!!

[ashman]

I thought of something that I don't think we've ever done before...you know we got all these 'What's your fave song' .etc, well how about favourite interlude thing...like that bit after the solo on BNW and on Rainmaker.

Mine is on Weekend warrior...I love that kind of stuff...

[Thunder Fingers]

interlude.. thats like the ddadadadada dudelidudeli dodododododod dudelidudeli on Hallowed right? :p

Thats my fav...

[ashman]

interlude.. thats like the ddadadadada dudelidudeli dodododododod dudelidudeli on Hallowed right? :p

Thats my fav...

Yeah that's one. It is a good 'un, bloody difficult on the bass, my fingers don't stretch that far :upset:

[YDload]

interlude.. thats like the ddadadadada dudelidudeli dodododododod dudelidudeli on Hallowed right? :p

Thats my fav...

Well Hallowed is kind of weird because it doesn't have a traditional song structure. So where IS the interlude there? If you mean the part after all of the lyrics and before the solo (where it picks up and starts going faster), or the guitar harmonies between verses, then I like either one of those.

[Thunder Fingers]

Yeah that's one. It is a good 'un, bloody difficult on the bass, my fingers don't stretch that far :upset:

What you mean stretch? there are no Stretches in that song? show me(in tabs or something) exactly what you mean?

[Thunder Fingers]

ah... i have never had problems with that.. but im rather big guy(around 190cm, well maby not that big..), so i guess my hands match that...

[ashman]

Well I'm only about 5ft 9...don't know in cm. But my hands are kinda small, but for some reason I have no problem shredding on a guitar...

[Thunder Fingers]

its smaller, that might be it :p Dave Mustaine fingers had been nice..:p they are 'kin long!

im 6.23 feet apparently...

[YDload]

Now playing: Phantom of the Opera. Now THAT'S a song with some kickass interludes!

[Thunder Fingers]

Now playing: Phantom of the Opera. Now THAT'S a song with some kickass interludes!

Thats an awsome song, and so 'kin fun to pay to! Awsome, just.. AWSOME! :D:D

[YDload]

Thats an awsome song, and so 'kin fun to pay to! Awsome, just.. AWSOME! :D:D

Normally it's spelled "awesome" but I'll let it slide because you can play that song in its entirety at a live pace.

Also, I played along with the song Iron Maiden and discovered that I was actually playing it FASTER than it really is on the album. So it's good that I was learning to play it quicker because that's probably what the live version is like, but bad because I really wasn't that good at playing it faster.

[Thunder Fingers]

Why havent anyone told me that i have misspelled awesome wrong before in my 1 and a half year + at this forums? :lol:

[planet_caravan]

*this board have way to many Pink Floyd Fanboys, we are nothing compared to them...:lol:* atleast i aint :p if it happen a maiden guy against Alex Lifeson, i would have to say Sorry Maiden :p

[ashman]

/wipes tear from eye...

what's happening to this once respectable forum, its some kind of madness.

[the_uber_penguin]

Yeah E minor...I thought Adrians solo was in C# Minor.

There are over 100 Maiden songs, most are in E minor.

Could well be. I assumed it's Dave's solo because of the heavy jazz influence in it and the ridiculous speed, while the last one (in D minor) is more typical of Adrian (lots of position changes, big stretch, very rhythmical) and that Jannick did the first one (very cheesy, like lots of Jannicks...) in E minor.

I think writing a lot of songs in the same key is good, it makes you less likely to write the same song in different keys (like punk bands) and you get used to that key, so you can do more in it, in terms of songwriting.

[Riva]

dunno... hope so...

Here's one of the PF fanboys. :wave:

Pity I'm also a Maiden, Metallica and Priest fanboy. :eek:

[ashman]

I thought Daves was first, then Adrian, then 'Blood is falling like the rain...' and then Janick. It's the way that they play that gives it away for me. I always use paschendale as my example when explaining the 3 different types. First one: Very hammer on and pull off based, a few triplets thrown in = Dave, Second: A bit of wah, kind of awkward, that thing where you start low and go up = Adrian, Third one = Bends right at the 3rd fret region, kinda sloppy = Janick.

I don't know that much about keys, everything I know about is from playing Maiden songs and finding out what key they play in.

[Thunder Fingers]

give me a guitar and some months and ill be able to join thoose guitar discussions..:lol:

[amateurbassist]

[Lord Abortion]

maiden... all the way because...

if you already have a bass you only really need one
you can use your house phone
and just watch tv

[Thunder Fingers]

^i would do the same... but thats mostly becouse i have a most exelent Bass(Pure brilliance!), an Working Phone, and no intrest of Movies

[amateurbassist]

thats true..... but

i dont have a bass..... (it..... blew up...)
im frequently away from home.....
the dvds im getting arent always on tv..... (its a TV programme.... YU GI OH)

[ArcLite]

thats true..... but

i dont have a bass..... (it..... blew up...)
im frequently away from home.....
the dvds im getting arent always on tv.....

You have your whole life to have a bass, talk on the phone, and watch movies, whereas chances to see Maiden are slimming.

[Lord Abortion]

thats true..... but

i dont have a bass..... (it..... blew up...)
im frequently away from home.....
the dvds im getting arent always on tv..... (its a TV programme.... YU GI OH)
so?

still go and see maiden

[amateurbassist]

i might ...... but ........ i dont know..... it's tempting both ways....... and this is like the only time i'll have this much money for my birthday.....

[Lord Abortion]

it's tempting both ways....
ooh er!! :naughty:
:lol:

[Thunder Fingers]

hmmmm.. as a bassist you make it hard for me to give you advices...:p bass vs maiden.. lets see, if you go see maiden, how long will it take you to aford a bass?(you dont have to start on anything expensive u know.. just figure out wheter you like it or not...

[amateurbassist]

quite a while.......... i cant decide.... iv tried averything i can think of to decide... but i just cant live with the decision......

and the bass i want is a replica of Steve's

[ashman]

Well I've got a Squier P-Bass, it's ok for galloping every now and then and that was cheap!!! I've seen encore Basses for only £80 and they're not great, but if you can play on a sheet Bass, then surely you'll be able to play on a good 'un.

[amateurbassist]

incidentally does anybody know where i can get a west ham FC sticker...

[ashman]

London? Or you could order one from the t'internet...

[amateurbassist]

[vashts80]

I can't get the galloping right on Run to the Hills or Brave New World. I can fret it right, but I can't get the galloping down. :( (Bass)

np: Helloween - Don't Stop Being Crazy

[Deth]

Are you using two fingers or three? It's a lot easier with three, especially when you're a beginner, though I have no idea how long you've been playing.

[vashts80]

I play basically how 'Arry plays, index and middle with my middle and ring kind-of like "stuck" together. I've been playing for about 6 months.

[YDload]

Six months?! Well you're getting an early start to Iron Maiden, so don't get frustrated too quickly. You're definitely on the right track, but playing like Steve doesn't happen overnight. Have some patience and twiddle them fingers!

[thelittledrummerboy]

I doubt it. I mean, think about it - BNW tour, live album. DOD tour, live dvd. I really doubt they are gonna make release live fodder from three tours in a row. That would be stupid, and I doubt Maiden would do that unless there is a huge want from the fans for such a thing to be done - I can only see two reasons to do it, you see. A) For the fans, and B) for the money. Seeing as they are not likely to do it for the money, if the fans don't want it it ain't gonna happen. If it DOES happen and the fans don't want it, I'll lose a lot of my respect for Maiden.


Ok fair enough point. But I was mainly referring to point A) " For The Fans " for those who are unlucky enough to go see them.


Alos when is the DoD tour, live dvd being released and do you know what the setlist is and when is the next part of the history coming out. I'm guessing mid to late 2005 :confused:

[amateurbassist]

I think that they should bring out a dvd/cd of this tour, cos its part of the early days isnt it.....



NP: montsegur

[scentless.apprentice.]

I think that they should bring out a dvd/cd of this tour, cos its part of the early days isnt it.....
they probably have enough live albums already

[amateurbassist]

mebbe, but there will be ppl who will want to see it.... after all they are more of a live band than a studio band...
