Iron Maiden

[scentless.apprentice.]

do they play the older songs differently live now or just do it the same

[amateurbassist]

if youve seen the second disc of RiR i think its nicko that says they like to play their songs differently each time... to keep it interesting.....

[scentless.apprentice.]

if youve seen the second disc of RiR i think its nicko that says they like to play their songs differently each time... to keep it interesting.....
is that on the RiR dvd, i only have the cd

[amateurbassist]

yea the dvd.... but someone nicked mine... wankers..... :angry:

[scentless.apprentice.]

i might get the dvd, my cd is breaking is there anything special on the dvd

[amateurbassist]

on the second disc theres some good stuff..... i wont spoil it for u...

[the_uber_penguin]

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.

Nah...Jannick=cheesy, Dave=Jazzy, Adrian=psycho

As a topic of discussion, without reading Run To The Hills, who do you think would win a fight out of all them:

Adrian "Psychotic" Smith?

Steve "Oi-you-don't-mess-with-me" Harris

Jannick "I'm-already-butt-ugly-so-I-don't-care-what's-sticking-out-of-that-baseball-bat" Jers

Bruce "I-do-everything" Dickenson

Nicko "Drummer-'nuff-said" McBrain

Dave "Smile!" Murrey


Who would win?

Who would lose?

Post!

[Thunder Fingers]

I would think Steve.. he seems like a take no **** person..

[Lord Abortion]

steve"we didn't mind a ruck in them days"harris wins

[amateurbassist]

steve....... but i have read it.......... :amaze:







NP: the angel and the gambler

[GurS]

I say Nicko'd win. Bruce to come last

[amateurbassist]

so you havent read RTTH: TAB then?








NP: virtual XI - the clansman

[GurS]

nope, i haven't.

I know, shame on me :(

[amateurbassist]

not really i only got it two weeks ago.... but iv still read it like 7 times.....


3rd edition......

[Thunder Fingers]

i cant find it, and when i find it i cant aford it..:upset:

[Lord Abortion]

i cant find it, and when i find it i cant aford it..:upset:
it cost me about £10 at waterstones, but I dunno if they are in norway, probably not :rolleyes:

[Thunder Fingers]

probaly not, i have only found one store that sells them.... but i dont have the money.... but when i have gotten that guitar im gonna get it...:)

[amateurbassist]

you can get it on amazon for well cheap....... i got it for about £7.50

[the_uber_penguin]

I say Nicko'd win. Bruce to come last

Answer according to RTTH=

Dave!!!

He used to be invlolved in all the gang fighting that happened in his area, so handles himself best.

Bruce went to private school, but then again, he is a world class fencer and he did piss in his headteachers dinner once...

[the_uber_penguin]

you can get it on amazon for well cheap....... i got it for about £7.50

£2.99 @ HMV :cool:

[Deth]

Nicko's just crazy thouh.

I would pay to watch that fight.

[ashman]

Nah...Jannick=cheesy, Dave=Jazzy, Adrian=psycho




:eek:

There is also another way to work it out, which is my secret way...and I suppose I'll tell you anyhoo...

I've noticed that Dave is on the left Channel, H is the middle channel, and Janick is the right channel. Now if you've seen them live, that is the way they are on the stage if you're facing the stage... Try it, it works...most of the time :thumb:


I think Steve would win, Dave looks kind of worn out at his age...Nicko might use his Triplet fight to kung fu kick people extremely fast.

[Deth]

They could take Priest, I'll say that.

[Lord Abortion]

heeya!!
triplet kick!!
out of the silent planet attack!

[Josh]

wow, mx sure is slow tonight...i'll try your way of working out who's playing solos later ash, but how does it work on the albums that have 2 guitarists?

[Nagagamiman11]

hello

[ashman]

wow, mx sure is slow tonight...i'll try your way of working out who's playing solos later ash, but how does it work on the albums that have 2 guitarists?

Well Dave is always on the right, it's weird, but on all the gigs I've seen, he is always on the right. Must be lucky for him or something.

[Nagagamiman11]

well his set up is on the right but they're always all over the place

[ashman]

well his set up is on the right but they're always all over the place

Aye 'tis truth, but he usually sticks near the Right. For some reason, I can imagine Steve running around the Stage while playing the intro to Blood on the Worlds Hands.

[Nagagamiman11]

Ya so could i ...........................yeah they all usualy move around but stay around their spots for when solos come up and they need their pedals except for steve and bruce their always in the middle

[ashman]

Ya so could i ...........................yeah they all usualy move around but stay around their spots for when solos come up and they need their pedals except for steve and bruce their always in the middle

Steve and Bruce, fighting for the front spot... :lol:

Janick is a weird guitarist though, he solos whilst running about, looks cool, but the solo can sound extraordinarily **** when he does.

[Thunder Fingers]

Mmmmm... Steve's not Running While hes playing acustic bass.... thats right its an acustic bass with chorus(or so i have been told...)

and if noticed, when janick plays his own solos hes pretty much standing still...

[Nagagamiman11]

actually janick runs alot during solos but he has to learn how to turn his guitar up lol or unless he does it on purpose so you can't hear his mistakes while he's running lol

and to the precious reply from ashman ya thats funny how bruce puts extra long legs on his mic stand to trip steve while their fighting for the center lmao

[Deth]

I'm sure Steve could run around with an acoustic bass if he wanted to. He just doesn't want to :).

[YDload]

I ripped my Piece of Mind enhanced CD to my computer so I can listen to "Revelations" or "The Trooper" (among others) whenever I'm talking about them in this thread too! I also went to the CD's multimedia section and found out that there's a video for "The Trooper!" Now I know that the solos are Adrian-then-Dave instead of the other way around (which is what they normally do).

[FlyingPaul_83]

You walk through the subway, his eyes burn a hole in your Back!

A foostep behind, he lunges, prepare for attack!

Greatest lyrics ever

Who was maidens first singer and what happened to him?

[Lightning_Rider]

He was Paul Di'Anno and I think he was kicked out because he was constantly drunk all the time or something like that. Not totally sure though. He's a pretty good singer, but I still prefer Bruce.

[FlyingPaul_83]

He was Paul Di'Anno and I think he was kicked out because he was constantly drunk all the time or something like that. Not totally sure though. He's a pretty good singer, but I still prefer Bruce.


yeah me too, but i was just wondering cause he kicks arse on killers

[Lightning_Rider]

yeah me too, but i was just wondering cause he kicks arse on killers
Yeah he's pretty good, his random laughs and 'yea''s are great lol.

[amateurbassist]

i used to admire him....... but then i grew up..... :)

[ashman]

He was Paul Di'Anno and I think he was kicked out because he was constantly drunk all the time or something like that. Not totally sure though. He's a pretty good singer, but I still prefer Bruce.

He was alos arrested before Maidens first gig in front of Rod Smallwood, so Steve had to Sing...oh how I wish I could have seen that.

ETT, He could always try to run around with an acoustic. And Janick does run around, especially on Hallowed be thy name video.

[amateurbassist]

yeah and he likes to kick cameras too... if you have seen RiR....... :rolleyes:

[ashman]

yeah and he likes to kick cameras too... if you have seen RiR....... :rolleyes:

Does he? When?

My favourite bit in RiR is when Adrian pops his head in front of the camera during the Trooper, about 59 minutes into the DVD. It still cracks me up :lol:

[amateurbassist]

well... he doesn't KICK the camera... but i think its during TWM... he "kicks" the camera......
(just in front of it)








NP: SSOASS - the album - the Prophecy

[ashman]

well... he doesn't KICK the camera... but i think its during TWM... he "kicks" the camera......
(just in front of it)








NP: SSOASS - the album - the Prophecy

Oh right, I see what you mean. I'd laugh if he kicked one and broke it. :lol:

I think Steve would win, Dave looks kind of worn out at his age...Nicko might use his Triplet fight to kung fu kick people extremely fast.

Even on the album tracks? I'll take a good listen and see if I can make anything of that.

[the_uber_penguin]

NP: SSOASS - the album - the Prophecy

TWM?

EDIT: The Wicker Man, silly penguin.

[amateurbassist]

yea....... that would be worth going to see....... just for that.... lol... oh by the way... i've decided... i'm going to go and see maiden in france.....

[ashman]

Even on the album tracks? I'll take a good listen and see if I can make anything of that.

Yeah most of them, it can get a little hard to pick out the individual guitars on songs like Montsegur.


TWM = The Wickerman (I think)

[amateurbassist]

TWM = The Wickerman (I think)


yeah... i make a habit of abbreviating any track i can.....

[ashman]

yeah... i make a habit of abbreviating any track i can.....

That could get confusing.

[amateurbassist]

yea... but you get used to it.... 'sept when you get drunk..... i spent two hours on saturday trying to figure out what SSOASS was..... thewn i tried to say it.....


the results were... amusing...






NP: NPFTD (no prayer...) - the allbum - Holy Smoke

[Thunder Fingers]

ETT, He could always try to run around with an acoustic. And Janick does run around, especially on Hallowed be thy name video.

yeah, but thats not HIS solo is it? ;)

[amateurbassist]

which HBTN video are you on about?????

[Thunder Fingers]

^probaly the one(an the only) from "Live At Donnington" Maiden have released a single for Hallowed Be thy name from that..(i thing it was LAD anyway..)

[amateurbassist]

LAD?????

that can mean 2 things.... "live at donnington" and "live after death"

[Thunder Fingers]

well... wich of thoose two did i use in the post?

[amateurbassist]

I know..... i'm just saying is all....... it gets confusing for someone like me who likes to abbreviate things..... :rolleyes:

[amateurbassist]

I've just noticed....... i am fast approaching my 100th post.....

[ashman]

yeah, but thats not HIS solo is it? ;)

He plays it, it's his solo...


/ :upset:

[Thunder Fingers]

^ He didnt Make it... ;)

NP: ZZ Top - Legs. OH YEAH! Blues rock fuzz Bass! :p

[ashman]

^ He didnt Make it... ;)

NP: ZZ Top - Legs. OH YEAH! Blues rock fuzz Bass! :p

But he's not playing Adrians solo, he's playing his own solo.

ZZ Top = kings

[Thunder Fingers]

Oh, he made his own? [never pays realy good atention to the guitar solos...]

Tush = secks!

[amateurbassist]

hey does anyone know why the hell adrian smith didnt make the next round of the poll??????

Davey did though..... :)







NP: FOTD - ATSS...... acronym hell.....

[ashman]

Oh, he made his own? [never pays realy good atention to the guitar solos...]

Tush = secks!

There are a few occassions when he plays Adrians solos with his own little 'licks', like in the Trooper, Evil that Men Do .etc

[ashman]

hey does anyone know why the hell adrian smith didnt make the next round of the poll??????

Davey did though..... :)







NP: FOTD - ATSS...... acronym hell.....


I blame those stupid fanboys :evil:

[amateurbassist]

so do you know when the next polls are kicking off.....

[Thunder Fingers]

when they are ready..:p


Go lifeson go! he better go through or i have lost faith in this forum...

[amateurbassist]

what about Davey....... what if they are in the same thread???

[Thunder Fingers]

I like Lifeson More.. sorry...

[amateurbassist]

ok then...... i do have to admit... if Davey and Zakk Wylde get put in the same group i will struggle.....

[Lord Abortion]

when they are ready..:p


Go lifeson go! he better go through or i have lost faith in this forum...
pardon my ignorance... but who is alex lifeson?

np- cradle of filth - the principle of evil made flesh

[Thunder Fingers]

^Guitarist in Rush

[Lord Abortion]

ah.. right I only have mp3s of rush so I didn't know who's in the band (excepting neil peart)

[Thunder Fingers]

Peart is a drum god, i would have done so much to be able to play with him..

[Lord Abortion]

yeah he does rule...

I would like to play like him

[Deth]

And of course the immortal Geddy Lee, my second biggest bass influence, after Harris of course.

[vashts80]

Suggest a Maiden song to learn on teh bass. I was thinking about either Rainmaker, Wickerman or Blood on the World's Hands :x But if you have any other suggestions, tell me plzkthx.

[Deth]

How experienced are you?
Beginner: Children of the ****ed, Wickerman
Intermidite: Aces High, Where Eagles Dare
Hard: Rime of the Ancient Mariner, The Trooper with 2 fingers

Now...go!

[Thunder Fingers]

^cant go wrong with that list....

[Lightning_Rider]

What about on guitar?

I learned Fear of the Dark and The Clansman, they weren't overly difficult, except for the FOTD solo.

Now I'm doing Aces High and it's a bit more tricky than the others. Quite a bit actually, but I'm getting it.

So what are some other Easy, Intermediate and Difficult Maiden songs on guitar?

I'd say Hallowed be Thy Name is up there in Intermediate-Difficult.

[ashman]

So what are some other Easy, Intermediate and Difficult Maiden songs on guitar?

I'd say Hallowed be Thy Name is up there in Intermediate-Difficult.

HBTN is one of the easiest songs I've ever played on Guitar, but I'd class it as intermediate, since it can get quite confusing unless you know the song backwards, forwards and up and down...

TWN is easiest, solo is tricky, but just add some shred and everyones happy.

Afraid to shoot Strangers is one of my favourites songs to play, I'd give that an Intermediate level since it has some awkward triplets in there.

Aces High intro is impossible, I just can't get it to work... :upset:

The Thin line Between Love and Hate is surprisingly easy, it's easily my second fave song to play.

The Trooper, easy as pie...Sextuplet riff is a bit awkward, but after that it's easy, Solos are the easiest ever done by Maiden (except for Children of the Damned.

Infinite Dreams, is easily an advanced song, solely because of that clean first few minutes, it's insane, can't get my head around it. The rest isn't too bad.

Wasted Love, pretty easy, solos good to play.

Blood Brothers, another easy song. Daves solo is a tad tricky though.

Sign of the Cross, easy song after you've got the verse rhythm. Riffs aren't that hard, be can be awkard, Solos are a bit hard, so just tap away if you can't get it right.

Dream of Mirrors is quite hard for during the acoustic verse bit. Pinkies aren't supposed to do that sort of pull off :upset:

Iron Maiden...'nuff said. It's hard to find a good tab, but after you've got it, 'tis easy as walking.

Killers, is interesting, I've been playing it for about a year and I still haven't perfected the Harmonic Gallop jobby. Other then that, it's fairly straight forward.

Revealations, another easy-ish song, Solos are the hardest bit. The Acoustic bit is awkward, but other then that, it's 'kin amazing.

Flight of Icarus is harder then it looks, the power chord slides are extremely tricky, I can't play the chorus, it makes me weep.

Dance of Death, No More Lies, Paschendale are pretty easy, Solos aren't that bad, but Paschendales solo is a bitch, C# is a key that shouldn't be dabbled in.

Journeyman is probably the easiest song Maiden have ever done, though the electric version is a different story, since there are not tabs and I can't quite get it by ear.

Losfer Words is full of easy riffs, and has my favourite riff (the bit with the harmonies), simple stuff.

Well that's all the songs I could think of...

[vashts80]

How experienced are you?
Beginner: Children of the ****ed, Wickerman
Intermidite: Aces High, Where Eagles Dare
Hard: Rime of the Ancient Mariner, The Trooper with 2 fingers

Now...go!


I'm not really sure, lmao

I've gotten down...Run to the Hills, Brave New World, Metallica's Whiplash, For Whom the Bell Tolls and Master of Puppets (up to the 3.30 or so interlude) as well as Slayer's Raining Blood.

:x

Edit: My favorite part of RiR is probably during FotD when Bruce is riding the camera across the stage, that's amazing.

Edit II: Also on RiR, on HBTN, the final "yeaaahh" is held for 28 seconds. That's amazing. I could only go for about 10, and that's without making my voice vibrate like his does.

[Sandtrap]

ive jsut joined the "maiden club" as Im on board with all the stuff from there first album. pretty good I must say!

[Lightning_Rider]

Well I've only been playing about 8 months. Hallowed Be Thy Name I don't find terribly hard, just that some of the riffs have a lot of pull offs and what not, I find it a bit confusing at first, the solo seems kinda fast too.

Aces High, yea the intro is tricky to get it sounding exactly right, and also theres a riff in the pre-chorus which I find **** hard to play at the same speed with the song. The solo has a lot of fancy pull off stuff, but I'm getting the hang of it, I want to learn more stuff with hammer ons and pulloffs anyway, cause I think I could be better there.

Btw I don't know if I'll ever see someone who can play more Maiden songs than that :lol:

[FlyingPaul_83]

*makes bed* :lol::lol:

I don't think I'll ever leave.

What are your opinions on Dance of Death?

And does anyone have a setlist for the DoD tour? *Is going*

that is the funniest thing ive heard in a long time

:lol: It's a requisite for being in the Maiden Authority, need play lots of songs. Atm I'm trying to learn Weekend Warrior, Still life (yeah, still learning it) and From Here to Eternity. It's just finding the time to sit down and get on with it nowadays.

I need a splash cymbal to play the ghost note at the end of the verse
a crash works fine though...

I dont have enough toms to play the bigger fills 100% correct but it sounds accurate and that's the important thing

I'd better explain this- the drum teacher was beng an idiot and making me play like someone who had never played a flam before! and making me play monotonous pointless sequences of flams. admittedly I was appalling drum-wise yesterday but sometimes I just have an off day- I went home and played stuff fine without messing up but I seem to play a hell of a lot worse in a drum lesson than on my own which is odd - slightly nervous i suppose

Yeah sounds like nerves, I have the same problem. Whenever I go into a guitar shop (when it's full) and I have a fancying for a new guitar, I try it out and I just freeze. My Vibrato goes to hell, my hands shake slightly and my timing goes completely out. I think that's because all the people stop and stare at someone who is trying a guitar out... :upset:

[Thunder Fingers]

^ i dont have exactly the same problem, but i have a major problem finding out what to play....(im one of the few that DONT like to show off...)

[Lord Abortion]

yeah it's interesting because I =just mess up simple stuff that I could play with my eyes closed elsewhere...

[Riva]

Just play Enter Sandman or Stairway To Heaven, and leave it be. I'm always too nervous to try anything halfway decent, simlpy in case I stuff it up. :(

[Thunder Fingers]

well, if its a bass that realy catch my intrest i my play something harder on it(or i used to do, until the day someone turned around and looked at me while i was playing yyz...)

but everytime i pickup an acustic bass, i cant help myself, i have to play blood on the worlds hands :p

[amateurbassist]

on another topic..... who has eddies archive...

[Thunder Fingers]

i do... hows that?

[amateurbassist]

where did u get it???


cos i cant find it anywhere.....

You lucky bastard. So you have all the b-sides, the brit shows, etc?

[amateurbassist]

[Thunder Fingers]

yeah... but i managed to bulk it... some way or another i managed to step on the thing.. (Luckily nothing was in it at the moment...) i managed to pop out most of the lid again, so it looks about mint.¨

and again, the one with blue inside are the original, the one with red are the extras one.(they sold out so quick that they made another bunch of them...) but that was all. limited run.

[Thunder Fingers]

There's like no such thing as a bad Maiden album in my opinion.

[I Sold Me Soul For Rock N Roll]

killers is a wank album. they became good when Dickinson joined. n i am a huge fan,saw them on DoD tour ( :) ) ,got several cds,doin a cover of Fear of the Dark with band,but the guitarists are abit ****ty, especially to say there are 3 of them(which is unessarcery). tailgunner should be erased from history.

[Deth]

S*itty guitarists, are you serious? They are all amazing (especially Dave) and Tailgunner is decent. How can you be a HUGE fan and say the guitarists are crap, without being a complete idiot?

[Lightning_Rider]

Killers was a great album. Purgatory is one of my fav Maiden songs

[Lightning_Rider]

For sure Killers is great. Wrathchild and Murders in the rue Morgue own, as well as a bunch of other songs on there.

[Lord Abortion]

what?
killers?
poor?
guitarists?
****ty?
tailgunner is the best song on NPFTD(not hard but still...)

I would leave to see one of the local bands cover Rime. So far, I haven't found a good enough bassist... :-/

[Deth]

hopefully my band is now back...

so my first setlist includes

the trooper
cradle of filth- her ghost in the fog
cannibal corpse- hammer smashed face
iced earth- burning times
megadeth- hangar 18

should rule...
This a really good setlist. Your vocalist must be great.

[Lord Abortion]

This a really good setlist. Your vocalist must be great.
it's me...
i don't play drums in my band! :p

[Josh]

i play air guitar :lol: and not in a band. 4 months 4 days 'til Leeds festival and maiden :)

[Deth]

2 months and 1 day until Judas Priest :).

Not as good as Leeds though :(.

[Josh]

priest will still pwn though, i couldn't really afford to see them as tickets were over £30 after booking charge.

[Deth]

Mine were $50 after all the stupid charges, about 28 pounds or so.

[Lord Abortion]

yeah, I couldn't go either
one of the guys from work went and won't stop going on about the fact I didn't

[Deth]

Are you going to any festivals though? Those are much better.

[Firecracker]

Alkaline Trio and Iron Maiden at Reading/Leeds on the same day.
I wish i was going.

[ashman]

Away for one day and two pages pass...I feel all left out :upset:

[132WalrusesInMexico]

I heard Maiden is going on tour this summer. Is this true? Are they coming to the states?

[ashman]

I heard Maiden is going on tour this summer. Is this true? Are they coming to the states?

Yeah, they are touring this summer. They will be at Ozzfest, except for the last few dates.

[132WalrusesInMexico]

Yeah, they are touring this summer. They will be at Ozzfest, except for the last few dates.
yes!! except i don't really wanna go to ozzfest just for maiden, although i might.

[the_uber_penguin]

Anyone up for an Iron Maiden game?

Here's the deal, we give a song, and then a funny interpretation of what it means. I'll start you off:

Dance Of Death: is about Nicko going /trying to go to a night club.

[Thunder Fingers]

errrh.... :amaze:

[ashman]

Journeyman : Nicko getting lost on the way to the stage, whilst fighting off evil Bears with tutus on :thumb:

[Josh]

Alkaline Trio and Iron Maiden at Reading/Leeds on the same day.

alkaline trio shouldn't be too bad, but why FFAF again?!?!?! had to put up with them before Maiden last time! :angry:

[ashman]

alkaline trio shouldn't be too bad, but why FFAF again?!?!?! had to put up with them before Maiden last time! :angry:

Not FFAF again!! Surely you jest?

[Josh]

check the Leeds site...clicky (www.leedsfestival.com)

[Thunder Fingers]

aw.. you poor things... (have never heard FFAF, and after what io have heard about them, i never will...)

[MAthiAS]

Crap Leeds sucks, cept a few bands.

[MAthiAS]

Like this fall I think.

is a new iron maiden cd coming out?
yeh, part IV of the history of iron maiden is being released next, for some reason before II and III :confused: it will apparently be a live album from the dance of death tour, and a dvd of a dance of death tour concert and documentary i guess (probably about bruces return to the band, brave new world and dance of death?)

[the_uber_penguin]

I want that!

[ashman]

Yep, and we should expect a new studio album next year.

[shadow_stalker]

Yep, and we should expect a new studio album next year.

Woo!

[Sandtrap]

thats cool...I might have to go out and buy that one!

[ashman]

I was thinking, they might reissue Early Days in a few years to include the early days tour, that isn't selling out is it?

:edit: Leeds and Reading are going to be the only UK dates for at least a year.

[the_cow_crap_man]

dude that new maiden dvd will rock ive seen the 'rock in rio' which is awesome but i love the DoD album and think the songs r better than the list on RiR, duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude....

correction: festival dates.

[rik]

killers is a wank album. they became good when Dickinson joined. n i am a huge fan,saw them on DoD tour ( :) ) ,got several cds,doin a cover of Fear of the Dark with band,but the guitarists are abit ****ty, especially to say there are 3 of them(which is unessarcery). tailgunner should be erased from history.
I hate you.

[Deth]

I hate you.
Me too.

[AB/CD]

me 3

(i learnt the clairvoyant on me bass was very easy)

[Deth]

Yeah, it's not a tough one.

[Thunder Fingers]

maiden dont have any particular hard songs, but its exelent playing, and exelent songs...

[YDload]

maiden dont have any particular hard songs, but its exelent playing, and exelent songs...

Oh I think they DO have some particularly hard songs. Just because YOU can play Phantom of the Opera and Rime of the Ancient Mariner doesn't mean they're not hard for anyone else!

NP: Iron Maiden. Now THERE'S an easy one.

[Thunder Fingers]

^ give them a shoot, they aint that very hard, i have never considered me self a good bassist, but yet i can play thoose.


I dont believe that a song have to be hard as hell to be good, so i dont realy care if a song is hard or not, as long as i enjoy playing them(and i enjoly playing Maiden songs)

[vashts80]

I have this boot from the BNW tour called "Brave New Chicago", Dave's first solo in Blood Brothers, before Janick's infamous "e15" solo, is slightly changed from the original. It's ace.

[Deth]

Sounds cool.

/subtle hint to upload it.

Nope, the Maiden website says they are.

Yer, I don't find any maiden song particularly hard. I see POTO and Rime as more of a good work out for my hand.

The first verse reminds me of something David Bowie would do...

...Bruce rocks like keelless boat.

The solo's are both cool.* Jannick's solo here always makes my blood freeze, it's the best one he's done, IMO. It's still so easy though...

What does e15 mean?

*Both this one and the original, I mean, for Dave.

[Juicy_Forlorn]

Hello fellow maiden fans! I have a question for you.
Are there any maiden songs that fade out? I can't think of any off the top of my head.

[ashman]

Hello fellow maiden fans! I have a question for you.

Women in Uniform and that's the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

[the_uber_penguin]

And that's a cover.

I'd guess there aren't, because fade outs are a bitch to do live.

[ashman]

And that's a cover.

Yeah true. There maybe another one somewhere...

[Thunder Fingers]

Transylvania kinda Flows into Strange World, but that is the closest,,, Maiden usually have constant stop songs...

yeah I know what you mean...but I kinda like that about them.

I just bought The Number Of The Beast today. "Run To The Hills" is amazing.

I meant his bendy solo at the 15th fret on the high E. :x

Or they slowly dissolve into a free time flurry of cymbals, screaming, and a bass doodle from Steve. :D

[GurS]

it's true.
There are more of those than sudden stops.

Total Eclipse ends with a fading out of wind blowing.

[YDload]

it's true.

Total Eclipse ends with a fading out of wind blowing.

Yeah, I wonder if they did that originally, or when they put it on the enhanced CD as a great segue into Hallowed Be Thy Name.

[Lord Abortion]

it's true.

Total Eclipse ends with a fading out of wind blowing.
um... can't think of any other than the aformentioned

he cymbal crash thing seems to be the accepted way

*bump*

^tnx man ;)

Anyone Want the entire Live After Death Album? :p
Yes. A lot.

[Lord Abortion]

that blood brothers version is pretty cool- I need an mp3 player so I don't have to download it again at home

[ashman]

I meant his bendy solo at the 15th fret on the high E. :x

Thought that was on the B string? I've forgotten how to play it, it's been a long time since I played Blood Brothers

[Lord Abortion]

hooray- ash is here!

I have to go to work soon

[ashman]

hooray- ash is here!

I have to go to work soon


Aye it's been a while, I had to do a format, because I couldn't get online.

Bizzarre tale of the day: I was walking to College University and I was listening to the Brave New World solo on my MP3 player and some fit girl was looking at me (she was going in the opposite direction) and when I listen to the solos, I study it so that I can one day play it. But whilst I was focusing on the solo, I tripped up and made a fool of myself infront a fit girl. :upset:

[Thunder Fingers]

^:lol: you poor thing :p


I might Soon be able to play Blood Brothers Janick solo... :D
*Have Bought a Guitar, waiting to get it...*

[ashman]

:lol: I can just imagine you bending the strings too far 'cos you've been playing the Bass for so long.

[Thunder Fingers]

Youve seen that pic of Jason Newstd almost draging the B string on his five string of the Fretboard(not pushing, Dragging, like, down towards the G string)? :p i will probaly do something like that :p

[GurS]

Nope, the Maiden website says they are.

where?

Either you lie, or you rule at whatever instrument you play.

NP: Empty Cans - The Streets

Good song.

Did you know that Bruce is one of the top 10 sporty rockstars ever?

[Thunder Fingers]

:lol: my Mom Have Run to the hills for ring tone...:lol:

[rik]

Either you lie, or you rule at whatever instrument you play.

NP: Empty Cans - The Streets
I don't lie. I play bass, I don't see them as very hard songs at all.

[x_Evilized_x]

I love Maiden. Seen them in 2003, best live show I've ever seen. Can't wait for them to come back to the UK.

[Josh]

:lol: my Mom Have Run to the hills for ring tone...:lol:
I think I have Holy Smoke as mine, but my phone's on silent most of the time.

I failed in my latest attempt to get someone to lend me a bass :(

[x_Evilized_x]

SECC, Glasgow. It was amazing.

[Josh]

sweet, i saw them in Newcastle, at the metro arena (i think it was still the telewest arena back then though). absoloutely amazing show, i was about 10 12 rows from the front.

[Stew_Blink]

I just got The Early Day's like..2 day's ago. I was looking at getting Rock In Rio (DVD) or The Early Days, and I couldn't decide, so I called my friend up who is a maiden freak and I was all like "Hey man, Rock In Rio or The Early Days?" So yeah, it's pretty cool..I have a bit more respect for Paul now..before I thought he was kinda just weird but now he's pretty cool in my book. He looks extremely different now though. Only sad part about that DVD is that Janick isn't in it becuase he joined later on..Got to see Nicko Though :D

[Josh]

lol...if you get rock in rio dvd, bruce and adrian do some cossack dancing in the clansman (i think)

[Stew_Blink]

sweet, i saw them in Newcastle, at the metro arena (i think it was still the telewest arena back then though). absoloutely amazing show, i was about 10 12 rows from the front.
I havn't got to see Maiden yet. They don't really come to Canada so it sucks..I think the last time they came was BNW tour maybe..

[x_Evilized_x]

Wow, nice. I was front row. =D !! Right in front of Janick most the time at the right side of the stage, it was immense! I dunno if the set list differed from venue to venue, but mines was rather entertaining! Here's the lot.

1. Wildest Dreams
2. Wrathchild
3. Can I Play With Madness
4. The Trooper
5. Dance Of Death
6. Rainmaker
7. Brave New World
8. Paschendale
9. Lord Of The Flies
10. No More Lies (Eddie-reaper between H's and Jan's solos)
11. Hallowed Be Thy Name
12. Fear Of The Dark
13. Iron Maiden
ENCORES:
14. Journeyman (acoustic)
15. The Number Of The Beast
16. Run To The Hills

Luckily I had the setlist before the gig. =)

[Stew_Blink]

lol...if you get rock in rio dvd, bruce and adrian do some cossack dancing in the clansman (i think)

It's Nicko and Adrain I think..becuase Bruce is laughing at Nicko dancing lol

[Josh]

we had the same setlist, brave new world was amazing. and the way bruce introduced fear of the dark with that "light goes on, light goes off thing"...

[GurS]

hello all.


reading. I can't wait for it, but it's SOOOO far away!

AAH! it's killing me

[x_Evilized_x]

Yeah I know, the exact same happened! I liked Bruce's outfit for Dance Of Death. The only setback of our gig was the PA packed in during the start of Paschendale! It sounded like a gun shot, everyone was in chaos.

[Josh]

hello all.


reading. I can't wait for it, but it's SOOOO far away!

AAH! it's killing me
ha! i see them 2 days before you at Leeds! :lol:

that would have been a bummer, how long did it take to get it fixed?

[x_Evilized_x]

that would have been a bummer, how long did it take to get it fixed?

Not long, I'd say around a minute. Apprently it just started wrong or something.

Aw I wish I was going to Reading or Leeds, I'd do anything to see Maiden again! Can't go to Download either. =(

[Josh]

ah well, they'll be back after the next studio album, ie in a year / 18 months.

[x_Evilized_x]

Yup. Are they not recording this winter? Have you heard Bruce's new album? I dont think its as good as his previous ones, but my fave track has to be Abduction.

[Thunder Fingers]

anyone know what Dimarzio Pup Dave Use? (im thinkin of cleaning up an old and cheap guitar i might get, if i dont get that, i might clean up a new and cheap guitar...)

[Deth]

Bringing up Early Days, don't you think that all of the former members of Maiden look like old farts? I can't imagine them still in Maiden.

[Josh]

Yup. Are they not recording this winter? Have you heard Bruce's new album? I dont think its as good as his previous ones, but my fave track has to be Abduction.
I havn't heard his new one, but yeh they will be recording this coming winter :)

Bringing up Early Days, don't you think that all of the former members of Maiden look like old farts? I can't imagine them still in Maiden.
i don't have early days (still), i really should get round to buying it.

[x_Evilized_x]

Good stuff, cant wait for another studio album!

[Josh]

yeh, it will be interesting to see what it will be like, as on dance of death they kind of...mellowed out a bit, IMO.

[x_Evilized_x]

yeah, although still a good album I thought.

[Josh]

yeh, the guitar work was great, although i didn't really like how it was mixed, i preferred the mix from the older albums because you can hear the bass better :)

and i suppose now they will have to tone down the music, as Bruce can't reach the notes he used to be able to :(

[x_Evilized_x]

Yeah. The older albums had a better sound bass wise.

I hope they dont. Bruce still has a strong voice I guess, but regardless, I think they'll produce another great Maiden album. They've yet to produce an album that disappoints me.

[Josh]

yeh, same here, although IMO Fear of the dark isn't one of the strongest albums ever, but still good. theres a few albums i still haven't heard though (X-factor, virtual XI, no prayer for the dying of the studio albums, only live album i have heard is rock in rio, and i have edward the great of the compilations)

[GurS]

Yeah. The older albums had a better sound bass wise.

i don't like the POM bass tone

[GurS]

/goes undercover

[Josh]

what the hell?
and i like the bass tone on PoM, what don't you like about it?

[Thunder Fingers]

i don't like the POM bass tone

Ah! im not the only one... i find his one rather anoying on POM... exelent album non the less though...

[Thunder Fingers]

what the hell?
and i like the bass tone on PoM, what don't you like about it?

it sounds like hes going through a blown cab, its a very farty tone....

[x_Evilized_x]

Heh I dont really mind it, a good album regardless.

[Josh]

meh, i don't mind it...and the album is, without doubt, great.

EDIT: now going for sleep, bye all :wave:

[GurS]

mmm, great album, probably my favourite, but steve's bass sounds like the strings are made of harderend mud

[Deth]

Best bass tone is either Powerslave or Brave New World.

I agree with you on POM tone.

[Lightning_Rider]

yeh, same here, although IMO Fear of the dark isn't one of the strongest albums ever, but still good. theres a few albums i still haven't heard though (X-factor, virtual XI, no prayer for the dying of the studio albums, only live album i have heard is rock in rio, and i have edward the great of the compilations)
I kinda like Fear of the Dark, I've been listening to it a lot recently. It's got a lot of songs I like. Be Quick or Be Dead, From Here to Eternity, Afraid to Shoot Strangers, Childhood's End, Wasting Love and a few others I can't remember really stand out to me. And I don't listen to the others enough to know if I really like them that much yet. And also not to mention Fear of the Dark (song) is on this album ;)

[the_uber_penguin]

Did this just slip to the third page?

I'm ashamed in you guys.

Fear of the Dark RiR version is amazing...gotta love the crowd singing the riff near the start.

[Thunder Fingers]

Best bass tone IMO is on Live At Donnington...

[ashman]

I like the tone on Maiden England and that it's turned right up up :lol:

I've got the Flu :upset:

my friend spent £6000 on a signed maiden guitar...................i played it....................................i need.............i mean want it :mad:

[Lord Abortion]

£6000???


where did he get all that from?

drugs?

it was drugs wasn't it?

[Deth]

Yeah, it was drugs.

That is a crapload of money.

Oft. I wish I had a signed Maiden Guitar. Mines is covered with band stickers. =(
