my fault for not spamming enough I suppose

[Lord Abortion]

[Thunder Fingers]

[Lord Abortion]

[Thunder Fingers]

:angry: ddont you rag on NPFTD! its in my top 5.

[Lord Abortion]

I know, but bar tailgunner and the assassin it's very average...
I just don't like it much,
shows how good maiden are that that is one of their poorest efforts IMO

[Thunder Fingers]

^i dont remember anyone of them say that "NPFTD" is their poorest effort.... i like the tail gunner, one of my favorite songs on that album, you should also learn that there isnt something thats called "Bad Music"

[Lord Abortion]

i didn't say it was bad...
just not as good as alot of other maiden stuff

I don't know if I agree about bad music though

does rap count as music?

[Thunder Fingers]

i just wrote much stuff that got deleted.... :angry:

Rap is good music for thoose who listen to it, so yeah, it count as music, though its often the same.... but 100000000000000000000000 personalitys that are exactly the same often express them self the same way..:p

[Deth]

My favorite is Powerslave. Nice and easy.

what deletion?


and a fair point about teh rap

what I found odd was that gur and uber were rap fans...

you never would have thought!

[ashman]

i thought it was out already???

Some people (like me) already have it... :thumb:

[the_uber_penguin]

I wouldn't say I'm a rap fan. As a genre I wouldn't listen to it, but The Streets and Eminem both do some very good stuff. 50 Cent, So Solid Crew, etc... only do really meaningless stuff for me.

I guess that would make me a fan of white rap.

I bought The Ultimate Pogues the other day...it's really good...I might have to cover Sally McLennanne with my band. Is that a crime?

Can't wait until Reading, less then four months now :)

[Lord Abortion]

/rage at ash

josh will send me tracks

how's your teeth?

to shane's level yet?

[GurS]

I'm a great fan of The Streets, and some of the more intelligent rap (step forward Public Enemy), and Grand Master Flash is great too, as are the Beasties (jewish white middle-class rappers :amaze:). But that's really the extent of it.

[deadeddie]

:eek: You haven't included any of the newer stuff :eek:


u mean like brave new world and dance of death :D

[deadeddie]

To tell you the truth, I don't think Cliff Burton is that good. I was playing that Bass solo song like 3 weeks after I got my Bass, the bends did sound a little off though.

I've only just started to get Steves Gallop rhythm mastered. :D



I'm a bassist also but i'm not that good from the way u say it u sound really good :thumb:

i tolerate the streets, but Eminem isn't bad, a lot of his stuff's just hilarous.

[ashman]

:lol: Nah, I'm a guitarist first then Bassist and Cliff is just a Guitarist who pulled the short straw... :lol:

I could swear that guy's been clinically dead since 1992.

[the_uber_penguin]

Me or Shane?

[Thunder Fingers]

:lol: Nah, I'm a guitarist first then Bassist and Cliff is just a Guitarist who pulled the short straw... :lol:

Cliff played the Bass, that makes him a bassist... dont it? even if he used overdrive and Wah on Bass....

[Stew_Blink]

Maby its a sign! :eek: Eddie is Teh EVLILIE!
It could be a sign..that..the world is gonna end in the 1800's..lol. I was bored so I searched up 666 in google..and there was a sight that said "Proof that the world will end in 1998!" lol..I laughed for about 10 minutes at it :p

[TheDMV]

:lol: Nah, I'm a guitarist first then Bassist and Cliff is just a Guitarist who pulled the short straw... :lol:

When Metallica found him he played bass. They picked him up because they recognize he was special. Not many guitarists (next to none) could pll off what he did on a bass.

[Deth]

He was special, no doubt, but even as a Metallica Fanboy, I think he's a tad overrated.

[YDload]

When Metallica found him he played bass. They picked him up because they recognize he was special. Not many guitarists (next to none) could pll off what he did on a bass.

But a lot of bassists could. I don't find any of the early Metallica songs very difficult to play on bass, although my Fender Jazz doesn't have enough frets to play the solo in "Orion," it's definitely possible.

Steve > Cliff. This is not debatable! :mad:

[Dannyboy15]

:lol: Nah, I'm a guitarist first then Bassist and Cliff is just a Guitarist who pulled the short straw... :lol:

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[rhcp pman]

I think that Steve Harris is definitely better than Cliff Burton, both skill wise and influentially. Harris made the bass a lot more important than it previously was in metal. Also, I think Cliff Burton is a horribly overrated bassist and this is coming from someone who likes both Iron Maiden and Metallica. I'd like someone to give me a reason why Cliff Burton was one of the best bassists ever because I think that he is undoubtedly a good bassist, but I don't think he is anything more.

[MetalMilitiaMan]

either way i cant wait to see harris in ozzfest

\m/ \m/

=D

[Lord Abortion]

it's not hard...

'arry owns cliff muchly

no contest

[AB/CD]

blood on the worlds hands has a clas intro on bass

[Lord Abortion]

all of x-factor is brilliant

it's criminally underrated

Meh. Don't care all that much.

They should re-record it with Bruces' voice.

[Deth]

That would suck for Blaze though.

[Lord Abortion]

That would suck for Blaze though.

yeah his voice suits these songs very well

blaze SOTC beats the bruce version IMO

[Deth]

I haven't heard Bruce's version.

[Lord Abortion]

on rock in rio?

[amateurbassist]

thats live tho........


have you heard a studio version???






NP: PAIN FOR PLEASURE

[ashman]

They should re-record it with Bruces' voice.

Nah, methinks Bruces voice isn't dark enough.

Blaze is a good singer, just we got used to bruce and you can't replace bruce.

[Thunder Fingers]

Bruce goes live, i dont think a studio version with him would be the right "mood"

[Josh]

yeah his voice suits these songs very well

blaze SOTC beats the bruce version IMO
as I can't be arsed to text you, if you read this tonight (Thursday), bring X-Factor and Virtual XI in tomorrow please.
kthxbai :lol:

i've heard both versions of SOTC, and IMO also Blaze sounds better on it, much darker / more evil

[rik]

I've never actually heard the blaze version of SOTC, only listened to it on rock in rio.














Hint for someone to try and upload it.

[Josh]

I don't have either of the Blaze albums on my PC (hence why I want to borrow them from Lord Abortion)


in case you didn't know, the glass prison (dream theater) has been uploaded by someone in the YSI thread.

[rik]

Yer thanks mate, I saw it earlier.

[Thunder Fingers]

SOTC is on its way ;)

[Josh]

i will grab SOTC when its up as well :)
some guy in the YSI thread wants POTO, so I'm uploading that at the moment as well.

See, those are my thoughts exactly, but I worry that if it came down to a poll, people would vote for Burton over Harris due to Metallica fanboyism.

Maybe I'll have to put Burton and Newsted in the same poll to divide the fanboys :evil:.

[Josh]

that would be a good start...and put Harris in with loads of bassists no-one's ever heard of :lol:

[Thunder Fingers]

newsted would have gooten my vote, he have an awsome live style, and plays pretty good to...

Sign Of the Cross - Studio (http://s36.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3QV0E1KTQGYZ53VXXTOZ3Z1FI2)

[Josh]

Newsted is also a good singer, he used to sing some whole songs live for 'Tallica...but lets not make this the Metallica thread II :lol: Steve Harris p'wns all other bassists, not just for his playing but also for his songwriting.

[Thunder Fingers]

I love Seek and destroy with newsted, thats 'kin awsome... otherwise the song tend to bore me...

[Josh]

I haven't heard it with Newsted playing...thanks for SOTC, downloading now. anyway, i'm off, so bye all :wave:

Where is 'Run to the Hills'?

[Lord Abortion]

really there wouldn't be a studio version of SOTC with Bruce now would there?

and heyho... where is hallowed be thy name?- the greatest song of all time

[blue3]

Hallowed Be Thy Name is a great song.

I just saw the Number of the Beast video on the MuchMoreMusic channel. It's probably the first time I've seen a Maiden video on TV...

[Lord Abortion]

Hallowed Be Thy Name is the best song ever


fix'd :wave:

[icebase]

I dont think hallowed would be the best maiden song of all time. Its defenatly up there at number 2 but i think that Blood brothers is just an amazing song. Well either that or fear of the dark.

[Lord Abortion]

blood brothers rules too

all of the songs do

sackman now has my blaze-maiden albums
uh-oh

[rhcp pman]

IMO, I reckon:
1.) Fear of the Dark
2.) Hallowed Be Thy Name
3.) Blood Brothers
4.) Infinite Dreams
5.) Run to the Hills
6.) Powerslave
7.) Can I Play With Madness
8.) The Trooper (with 3 guitarists + bassist)
9.) Charlotte the Harlot or Phantom of the Opera (I like them both a lot)
10.) The Number of the Beast

I'm probably forgetting loads of ones that I like more, but these are the ones that came to my head first.

[Lord Abortion]

1. hallowed be thy name
2. still life
3. dream of mirrors
4. strange world
5. paschendale
6. brave new world
7. revelations
8. where eagles dare
9. blood brothers
10. iron maiden

[Deth]

1. Rime of the Ancient Mariner
2. Fear of the Dark (hopefully live)
3. Hallowed Be Thy Name
4. Powerslave
5. Where Eagles Dare

That's all I care to do, and I'll probably disagree with all of them later.

[Thunder Fingers]

i dont think i could do a list....

Janick Gers's "Blood Brothers" Solo! :naughty: thats clearly My Favorite Maiden thing.

[the_uber_penguin]

What about Dave's solo in Paschendale? (The one in C#m)

[Thunder Fingers]

nop, you cant beat that bend.

[ashman]

What about Dave's solo in Paschendale? (The one in C#m)

We've had this debate before!!!!! The C#m Solo is H's.... :evil:


No if only I could prove this... :naughty:

is there anyone out there that likes the assasin? so far thats the only maiden song that i dont like but ive yet to hear the songs from the x-factor

My favorite solo is the last one in "To Tame A Land." It's pretty clearly an Adrian solo, but the way it ends on that certain note is just awesome.

Ummm.....................the user control panel?

It's near the top of the page, next to CD reviews and FAQ.


I haven't listened to To tame a land in a while

Get the x-factor- now!

I love the assassin- only behind tailgunner on NPFTD which as you know, I don't like much...

[heyho_letsgo]

really there wouldn't be a studio version of SOTC with Bruce now would there?

and heyho... where is hallowed be thy name?- the greatest song of all time

sorry I missed some If I could I would put them all.

Best Maiden Solo EVAR: Outro-solo for Flight of Icarus.

Or possibly H's one on Aces High

I like Daves Tapping on SOTC, it's just so cool on RiR.

[crag]

i like the solos in dance of death they kick ***

[vashts80]

I still think the solo in Blood Brothers is awesome, Dave then Janick's bendy solo on the 15th fret before the interlude :x

[thelittledrummerboy]

Best solo IMO is Dave in the Trooper. Note that was a hard decision to make.

Np: 2 Minutes to midnight

[headmut]

I like Fear of the Dark solo....

[headmut]

And Phantom of The Opera!

[Lightning_Rider]

Fear of the Dark solo is cool. The Blood Brothers solos are all really good too. And I enjoy the Dance of Death solos as well. I also like Afraid to Shoot Strangers solos...

[Firecracker]

Dance Of Death - the song - the best guitar solo, ever.

[vashts80]

I forgot about my love for ATSS.

Listening to Ol' Brucie's new album now, for like the 30th time. It's 'kin amazing.

[the_uber_penguin]

Why is everyone calling Adrian "H"?

He's called Adrian...

[Firecracker]

Smithy.

I want to get it on ebay.

Kind of a let down... wanted like a first person shooter.

Which one? If it's Edward the Great than I agree.

[Master Of Nebulah Frost]

Does anyone here own all or most of the enhanced CDs, I'm curious to know what image the spines of the cases make once you have all of them.

[AB/CD]

ive got most of them i need somewhere in time and i dunno if live at donnington is included in them but they just make up the picture of eddie off the self titled album

[GurS]

i think mine's a misprint, it's kinda messed up, but, as ab/cd said, it's MEANT to be the s/t cover

[AB/CD]

i think the picture from my avatar would have been a better picture to be made up form them albums

[vashts80]

One thing I was thinking about. Apparently, Nicko used a double-pedal on Face in the Sand, right? It doesn't sound like a double-pedal at all, and if it is, it's hella slow. The chorus of The Wickerman was much faster than that. :\

[GurS]

the problem wasn't speed - it's stamina. He couldn't keep that up for 4 minutes solid, don;t be silly - could you?

[vashts80]

I don't understand that either...he did it all the time with other songs like The Wickerman, albeit with intervals, but still..if I was going at it for 4 minutes solid, I probably could keep it up if I worked out my legs for a few weeks, but I'm no Nicko either.

[GurS]

you gotta remember... he's an old guy.

[blue3]

Which one? If it's Edward the Great than I agree.Yeah, Edward the Great

[ashman]

you gotta remember... he's an old guy.

Yeah, he's 51 this year...

its the first album cover but just eddies head

[amateurbassist]

i tried that, but it turned out weird.....


someone elaborate as to what order the albums go in.....

[Glass Onion]

I think they go in chronological order make sence? So they'll start with Iron Maiden, then Killers, then Number Of The Beast etc untill whatever album they stopped at.

[amateurbassist]

no i tried that..... but it looks weird.....

[the_uber_penguin]

Yeah, he's 51 this year...

But he's Nicko...I swear he lost that leg in an accident and has some mechanical one there.

[Glass Onion]

no i tried that..... but it looks weird.....

Maybe they're on an un-even surface or the alignments just crappy from the sides?

i bought rock in rio yesterday and found it good....i even went so far as to call them "progressive"in a way....anyone else think this?

Meh it had a good setlist but the mastering on it sucked, Well atleast on my dvd. I prefare my copy of Rock AM Ring which a relative recorded onto DVD from german tv. Better list, full concert unlike Rock in Rio which had cut bits and it has a prolonged Bring Your Daughter (To The Slaughter) where Bruce has some sorta screaming compotition with the crowd.

[ashman]

I think they go in chronological order make sence? So they'll start with Iron Maiden, then Killers, then Number Of The Beast etc untill whatever album they stopped at.

I actually think that there was a misprint somewhere. I can't make it look right either.

i make it look right, am i the only one? you have to include the live cds :p

I have a game for us all. I name 2 songs, then the next person picks the better one and pits it against one of his choice, ultimitily, we should have the best Maiden song ever at the end. So,

Where Eagles Dare vs. Be Quick Or Be Dead

Fight, Maiden songs, fight!

I actually think that there was a misprint somewhere. I can't make it look right either.

My copy of powerslave is badly misprinted, so that may be your problem.
I've never tried this myself, I don't own all of teh enhanced cds to do it.

No, that's just pointless spamming. There were threads like that in the Pit all the time and they had to be closed because they were pointless. Let's not ruin this thread with spam of that sort.

[GurS]

indeed

(where eagles dare > hallowed be thy name)

[Lord Abortion]

apologies for the lack of posting over the last couple of days
was out of the house and off school so no t'internet

so to sum up...

lightning strikes twice is very cool... blaze sounds very scottish (listen to it)

hallowed be thy name beats where eagles dare but we shouldn't encourage spamming

nicko surely has some sort of mechanised leg (maybe he is really a robot?)

the enhanced CD's do have the first album cover on them... but you have to get them right (I can't remember the order but it aint chonological)

fave solo... prowler!

that should bring me up to date

[amateurbassist]

i actually think that WED is a great song...... but as for choosing it over HBTN.....

i don't know.... HBTN was the first MAIDEN song i ever heard so i have to say that......


by a smidgen...

[amateurbassist]

hey.... first off sorry for the double post......


now iv been listening to the Real Live... version of number of the beast and it sounds like someone is saying something in between the intro...... what is it?

[Thunder Fingers]

to me it sounds like bruce saying something like "smjeeeee.. mmm yeees... hasnanouf..."

[amateurbassist]

where were MAIDEN when they did it?

[amateurbassist]

I Have Reached 100 Posts........ Yyyyyaaaaayyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

to me it sounds like bruce saying something like "smjeeeee.. mmm yeees... hasnanouf..."
yeah... I noticed this
I thought I was just going mad at first, but then I can just hear a voice during the intro

A girl in the year below me I'm friends with walked past me and held up a piece of paper with his autograph on it.

I was like "Wha'!!! You're not even that much into Maiden!"
Her: "Nah...not really"
Me: "How did you get it"
Her: "He was at the London Guitar show"

Apparently he's really short...5'2" or something, like that.

[Thunder Fingers]

i believe that the whole band is around his height.. i see no other reason that steve could have the bass at the middle of the thigh and still have the top at his chest :p

[Lord Abortion]

I have a mismatch in vocalists

three of my top five fvourite vocallists are short- Bruce, Dani Filth, George fisher

one is average- atilla cishar
and one is ludicrously tall- Matt Barlow
odd isn't it?

[Thunder Fingers]

i dunno how big GEddy Lee is...:lol:

[Deth]

Geddy Looks pretty tall.

[Thunder Fingers]

i think he is smaller than neil peart.... and hes jewish, aint jewish people usually small?

[Lord Abortion]

ask Gur... he seems to be the resident expert on the Judaica
anyway... cya- Drama lesson now

[amateurbassist]

well thats a weird change of topic..... from weird noises in the background of songs..... to how tall or short singers are.......

[amateurbassist]

does anyone know where i can listen to iron man for free?

[Deth]

i think he is smaller than neil peart.... and hes jewish, aint jewish people usually small?
That a bit sterotypical now isn't it? I'm sitting next to a Jew now. He's so cool.

[Thunder Fingers]

i dunno... i havent said they where boring or anything.. im not racist, im just under the impression that jews was smaller than others, just like couloured persons have bigger uh... things than whiteys..:P)

[Deth]

I'm just kidding around. Those black people and their superior assets...

no i tried that..... but it looks weird.....


u have to put them in order backwards- iron maiden to the right, then killers then number of the beast

[amateurbassist]

this thread is turning weird........................

[GurS]

actually, jews tend to be very mixed, hight wise. Overall, Jewish girls are very short, there's only 2 tall girls in my year. Girls under 5'2 are non uncommon at my year. The guys tend to be very wide-ranging, but quite a few Jewish guys are tall... I'm 6"3 and not even the tallest in my year.

However, Jews girls are more likely to have HUUUUUGE breasts than christians, and jews are more suspectible to Tay-Sachs Disease, percentage wise.

Shut up. Seriously, Maiden should never Quit. They are one of the best bands ever, and no one who has made a proper, educated, formulated judgmentthat of all things music can disagree with.

Maiden shouldn't, and won't ever quit.

.....IM sucks.

[Dannyboy15]

.....IM sucks.

Go kill yourself.

[ashman]

Has anyone noticed the increase in anger lately?

So, anyone heard the BLAZE version of Two worlds collide? It's pretty good, the guitars are a lot louder.

Powerman 5000?

[YDload]

I dunno, Bruce always looked really short to me. But no singer in metal will ever come close to the tininess of Mr. Ronnie James Dio.

I haven't heard all that much Blaze stuff, though what I have heard is pretty good.

[MegaPhony]

Just borrowed a few Maiden CD's off my friend (4 or 5 I think) like 3 weeks ago.
Suffice to say, my Iron Maiden favorite song list has expanded tenfold.
Quite possibly in my top favorite three bands.
I don't post much in R&M but I felt obliged to post in the Official Maiden thread.
;)

[Deth]

Stay around a while, everyones cool here.

May I inquire which albums you borrowed?

[paco999]

I always liked Blaze's vocals. Although Bruce is the voice of Iron Maiden that's why Virtual XI and the X Factor weren't so popular.

However I liked Virtual XI alot it has alot of nice songs (Futureal, Lightning strikes Twice, the Clansman, The Educated Fool, Don't look into the Eyes of a Stranger, and Como estais Amigos), I haven't really read a positive comment on this album, so that's why I think its underrated, I actually really liked it IMO.

[GurS]

i don't have it (the only whole in my studio collection), but futureal and angel and the gambler suck. the clansman is good, but 1 out of 3 ain't good enough.

[the_uber_penguin]

I've always felt Bruce makes Blazes vocals sound really weak (compare the RiR version of The Clansman to the album version). I guess that whole 1994-1999 era for Maiden will always feel like dark days for Maiden in my mind, because I'm mostly a Bruce and Adrian fan.

Granted, Dave, Steve and Nicko are all amazing, it's not what i listen for in the band (except now Dave...he's grown on me)

[Thunder Fingers]

you listen to madonna, your opinion aint worthy! :angry:











J/k....


or...

do i? ;)

[rhcp pman]

Meh it had a good setlist but the mastering on it sucked, Well atleast on my dvd. I prefare my copy of Rock AM Ring which a relative recorded onto DVD from german tv. Better list, full concert unlike Rock in Rio which had cut bits and it has a prolonged Bring Your Daughter (To The Slaughter) where Bruce has some sorta screaming compotition with the crowd.

Yeah, I've got Rock AM Ring. It's awesome but I agree about the mastering. By the way, Bruce holds that note for 33 seconds. I timed it haha. And it's not just 33 seconds. It's 33 good seconds and he finishes it off with a nice bit of vibrato. I've always though of Bruce Dickinson as the best singer ever besides Freddie Mercury, but now I'm starting to think he might even be better. I'll have to listen to more Queen to compare them.

A girl in the year below me I'm friends with walked past me and held up a piece of paper with his autograph on it.

I was like "Wha'!!! You're not even that much into Maiden!"
Her: "Nah...not really"
Me: "How did you get it"
Her: "He was at the London Guitar show"

Apparently he's really short...5'2" or something, like that.

That's cool, cause I'm 17 year old male but I'm really short - like 5 foot 2 or 3 and I don't think I'm going to grow much more. Is Dickinson really that short? He looks taller onstage. Meanwhile, I seriously wouldn't be surprised if old Dio was 5'2.

[amateurbassist]

hey if there are any MAIDENHEADS who are anime fans then got to
www.anime-forums.com.....

i really need people to come on to my maiden thread there........ i just started it today, but it would really show everyone else who the best band is if other people went on it.

its no "correct" best band.... that you prefer Maiden over others dont mean everyone else have to....

[amateurbassist]

dimebag hater ur a ****in *** wanker, i bet ur into like michael jackass or sum **** like dat u **** sucker!!!!!!!!



that was a frend of mine... but i have to agree with him.....


i also think that YDload should be kicked......






NP: childhood's End

[Thunder Fingers]

:angry: YDload rocks!

[amateurbassist]

but he's a dimebag hater..........

[Thunder Fingers]

never cared that much or pantera my self....

[amateurbassist]

neither do i ... but i just think its wrong taking the p i s s out of a brilliant guitarist.....

[the_uber_penguin]

To revive the whole mastering debate...(no puns should be made lest Eddie rapes you in your sleep)...the RiR DVD isn't brilliantly mastered, but the CD is much better. Lots of crowd noise sounds awesome.

[amateurbassist]

hey does anyone know if theres a kive recording of childhoods end? cos its in my head at the mo......

[Thunder Fingers]

its one of the songs that never have been played live if i recall correctly...

[amateurbassist]

****

[Lord Abortion]

right... lots of topic changes

1. gur, it's alright if you like madonna- I'm a bit less forgiving about you being a streets fan though

2. there is no recording of childhood's end live

3. BLAZE -when two worlds collide is excellent, he really is awesome

4. a funny thing was, I was standing, waiting for cradle to come on when I went to see them last month and had a discussion about who is smaller between dani and dio, we came to no conclusion- both are ver' small

5. never really been into pantera... seem to be O.K though, I dunno if Ydload really hates him or he is just sick of the fact that people can't just accept he died and stop going on about it...

then again Kurt Kobain died in 94 and some haven't accepted that yet

[crag]

is there any recordings of blaze live?

[Dannyboy15]

is there any recordings of blaze live?

Theres him doing a really crappy version of The Trooper.

[Josh]

well, I just checked the Maiden website - Death on the Road will be out on 29th August this year, finally a Dance of Death live DVD / Album :)

[Deth]

Ouch, double post. But it looks awesome. I don't know if the setlist is the same for the CD and DVD though.

[Josh]

/removes one of the posts

the setlist should be the same for both, it's the same concert i think.
on another note, tomorrow i should finally be getting an instrument, i'm borrowing a Fender squier bass from a friend. easiest maiden song to learn on bass?

Ha ha, people actually said that? What an idiot. Also, I don't like "michael jackass," I think it's pretty clear who my favorite band is by my presence in this thread.

The Dimebag avatar is just to make people mad. I think Pantera was a good band and that Dime was a great guitarist, but people need to get over his death. I know some of them will say "Well what if you were related to Dimebag?" Well I'm not, and neither are you.

The Wickerman is easy, so is run to the hills and maybe Where Eagles Dare.

A beating is in store if you use a pick though. *shakes fist*

Run to the Hills is tricky in the bridge section, freakin' two-finger triplets. Revelations is pretty easy but it sounds impressive (as long as you have a better tone than Steve did on the album).

It's a pity he will never find a drummer to play WED with him though

yeah I will personally give him a beating if he uses a pick

I know where he lives... :p
