ofcourse, my mistake....


i think he spit long before in the beggining of the song, cause blaze and steve are standing satring angrily into the crowd for a LOOOONG time on the video...

hav u ever seen steve so pissed lol

oh and ur right blaze does **** up the last verse

one more thing, wot happens to janick, u see him at the beginning of the second verse and hes not playin his guitar then after the solos some guy comes on the stage to look at it

[Lord Abortion]

yeah... maiden stick together steve was pissed because blaze was getting alot of unfair stick off "fans" shouting abuse-

dannyboy- what do you mean the trooper version was crappy? the sound quality was but Blaze's vocals were class!

currently listening to the bodom cover of aces high- cool

[Thunder Fingers]

Blaze doesnt sound good at the the trooper there, i know he can so much better though..

even my mom walked by "that guy dont have a very good singing voice...."

[amateurbassist]

so what do ppl think of my playlist?

[Thunder Fingers]

:confused: what play list?

[Thunder Fingers]

anybody actually managed to see the whole "abduction" Video yet? the Buffereing always stop for me.. :upset:

[amateurbassist]

:confused: what play list?

on page 350........... at the bottom.......

[ashman]

anybody actually managed to see the whole "abduction" Video yet? the Buffereing always stop for me.. :upset:

I'm about 25 seconds into it...the bufering is annoying :angry:

[ashman]

Finally got all the way through...so so so cheesy, my friend made a better video for his Media project... :lol:

And it looked like that woman was doing rude things to herself :naughty:

[Thunder Fingers]

:lol: i think the video was funny :p do you think Bruce always sleeps in an Flight suit?

[Riva]

The buffering screws me around too much to even try. What's it like?

[amateurbassist]

so what do ppl think of my playlist?

[Thunder Fingers]

nice playlist.

[ashman]

:lol: i think the video was funny :p do you think Bruce always sleeps in an Flight suit?

:lol: I think he does, in case there's a plane that needs flying.

Riva; it's just a cheesily funny video, it's like Bruce wakes up, runs around a dark road, gets kidnapped by some men in suits, then lays in a surgical bed with some women next to him, some more running around .etc You have to see it to believe it.

[Lord Abortion]

rad... stupid buffering


bruce sleeps in a flight suit for definite

[Josh]

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*
/gets run to the hills tab. i wont use a pick either, pick only sounds good with bass on motorhead and GNR.

[Lord Abortion]

lemmy is jesus of the bass world...


'arry is god :lol:

[Josh]

:lol: true, true...my other favourite bassists: jason newsted, duff mckagan, and whoever the hell the dragonforce bassist is...lol...

and i don't have to worry about getting a PoM tone on bass, i don't have an amp, my mother let me borrow the bass on the condition that i didn't borrow an amp as well, so i'll have to get one of those small practice ones :(

[Lord Abortion]

john myung- df bassist

[Thunder Fingers]

john muyung is SERRIOUSLY overrated.... "Speed is everything" in music, eh? ;)

[HondoII]

steve > myung in stage presence

[Thunder Fingers]

:amaze: your still around?

[YDload]

John Myung uses twice as many fingers as Steve to pluck, but he's only half as interesting to listen to. How about that! :p

Now Playing: To Tame a Land

Cool.

[Deth]

Steve pwns everyone.

Yes, even you.

[HondoII]

:amaze: your still around?


but of course :cool:

[ashman]

but of course :cool:

He is the Maiden army leader...

[horseypie]

on the rock in rio clip steve looks funny jumping.....but john myung looks cooler

[Thunder Fingers]

john muyung doesnt look cooler than anyone, the most coolest lookin bassist today, is the nowadays Geddy lee :cool:

[GurS]

john muyung doesnt look cooler than anyone, the most coolest lookin bassist today, is the nowadays Nikki Sixx :cool:

Fix'd

[Deth]

But Nikki can't touch any of them though, not even close.

[GurS]

very true. but he's cooler

[ashman]

If Steve heard you say that, he'll 'ave ya.

[Josh]

well, I have learnt the intro to Run to the Hills, and I am now learning the intro to brave new world...its gonna be a while until i can play whole songs though, can't play fast enough.

[Thunder Fingers]

Fix'd

:angry: i hate nikki sixx and his ugly gibson bass... Geddy Lee Just look wayt cooler, with his sunglasses, black hair and a Bass that looks like he was made to play(the looks of Geddy And THe Fender Jazz Bass match each other so well!)

[shadow_stalker]

I just learnt some of wasting love on the guitar, its pretty easy.

hehe sack-man you broke that bass yet?

[Lord Abortion]

hondo! bloody hell... been a long while

sack man definitely broke that bass, :lol:

[GurS]

les claypool looks pretty cool, with the bucket hat, the sunglasses and the long black hair

[YDload]

Bootsy Collins is the coolest-looking bassist who has ever lived. But I still think in the world of metal, Steve has them all beaten.

[GurS]

steve is certianley more.... intense. What with the mad, staring eyes, and the permanent grimace as he screams along to some of his own lyrics

[AB/CD]

only foiund out today maiden r gonna release a new live DVD

[Thunder Fingers]

^i thought it has been well expected since the GME...TID tour...

[Josh]

I just learnt some of wasting love on the guitar, its pretty easy.

hehe sack-man you broke that bass yet?


hondo! bloody hell... been a long while

sack man definitely broke that bass, :lol:
STFU! no i haven't broken it...yet...Titch, I started learning Paranoid as well.

NP: Blood brothers (RiR version)

[AB/CD]

ah well when that DVD comes out im getting it to see paschendale heard its great with all the barbed wire and cak on stage

[Stew_Blink]

Any one care to translate what this kid is going on about? I'd like to know what a 'kin "cak" is..and from the other post I'd like to know what foiund is..

It's kinda funny becuase you know Maiden is coming close to an end. They're all getting rather old now..I mean they can't exactly jump around on stage forever can they? Also with the release of The Early Day's, that would lead people to beleive they are going to do something like a The In-The-Middle Day's, which would lead to think they will make something like a The Final Day's.

Steve is by far the best bassist in metal. To me there is no doubt, he looks so **** cool on stage. His bass ability's are amazing, he can play stuff so well but what really takes it home to me, is that he has written SO MANY AMAZING songs. There are endless Maiden songs written by Steve that just make you go "Ohhh 'kin bloody god, this guy is good"

[Deth]

I don't think they'll break up. They have a lot of material left in them, and until someone dies, I think it will continue.

On another note, I'm proud of myself because I converted my Early Days DVD into audio files, so I can put them on my iPod.

[MAthiAS]

These guys may be getting older but they're still rocking pretty 'kin hard.

[YDload]

That's pretty funny. I thought this might interest some people.
I misinterpreted Fear of the Dark (Iron Maiden). The line is "I have a phobia that someone's always there" . I thought it was faux mia (said as phobia with a "m" instead of a b)because faux ami is "false friend" or false idea in French, and I thought that faux mia might have been a fancy way of saying faux ami. They both make sense and sound similar.

[Josh]

I don't think they'll break up. They have a lot of material left in them, and until someone dies, I think it will continue.

Touch wood, lol. they'll keep on recording for a few years i think, but just not tour as much as they have in the past.

[Thunder Fingers]

Steve gonna die at that stage, no mather if its only him left running at it..

[Josh]

lol, to be honest actually it wouldn't surprise me if maiden kept going so long that one of them did die on stage

[Stew_Blink]

To be honest, if I we're in Maiden and I had all the success that they had, the only place I would want to die would be on stage..I think that after all the effort Steve put into Maiden, after he poured his heart and soul out into the music, he will never want to quit. I think Steve will play 'till the day he die's, and he'll just keep playin' all the way to heaven or hell or where ever he may go.

[ashman]

Was that when he broke his wrist?

[Firecracker]

Bruce is a total beast, and is high up on my respectin' agenda.

[AB/CD]

dont htink he broke anything all i no is he fell right into the kit and janick was the first to stop playing (part from nicko) so steve thought janick had done something wrong and was gonna crack up at him then he seen bruce lying on a load of cymbals altho bruce finished that show even tho he was in a **** load of pain while singing

[Moses]

John Myung uses twice as many fingers as Steve to pluck, but he's only half as interesting to listen to. How about that! :p

Now Playing: To Tame a Land

Cool.
I thought Steve use everything on his right hand, I've seen him use his pinky and thumb.

[rik]

I thought Steve use everything on his right hand, I've seen him use his pinky and thumb.
Nope, only uses two. He sometimes plays with him thumb for songs like The clansman (the intro part)

[Stew_Blink]

..Hmm, I'm wondering how Steve COULDN'T notice that! The drum's for a song stop, as does the guitar..and all of sudden Bruce is no where's to be seen :p..that would seriously hurt, I'd cry :upset: haha

[vashts80]

Nope, only uses two. He sometimes plays with him thumb for songs like The clansman (the intro part)

Steve technically uses three, as he uses index and then middle and ring together, and he uses his thumb as well. (Fear of the Dark, Clansman, stuff like that where it's slow and not galloping)

[ashman]

Steve technically uses three, as he uses index and then middle and ring together, and he uses his thumb as well. (Fear of the Dark, Clansman, stuff like that where it's slow and not galloping)

Yeah, he does use those fingers during arpeggio type riffs, but most of the time he just uses the two fingers.

No posts in 19hours!!!!! What the hells up?

[GurS]

uh... i was busy watching dr. who?

[the_uber_penguin]

Today me and my drummer were jamming (our bassist couldn't come).

We were talking about Nicko's bass technique.

He said "He does something like this" and started doing it slow..."so it should sound like this, and this is where I mess up" and started doing really fast bass drumming.

Me: :amaze:
Him: :amaze: I can do it! *Stops* I can do it!
Me: You know what this means? *Starts playing The Wicker Man*

So we played The Wicker Man, and he did the part most drummers do on a double bass, with a single (and pretty worn out too) bass pedal, and we sounded really cool.

Except where I balled up the solo.

[GurS]

heel toe?

[Firecracker]

Steve is the fastest bass play i've ever seen.

[Deth]

And Nicko is the fastest single bass drum player I've ever seen.

[the_uber_penguin]

heel toe?

Actually, he was doing it all with his toe...

Cool.

If he learns heel toe...

He'll be pwning Nicko...

Cool...

/Stops drooling


EDIT: Shame we're a punk band and so his talent here is wasted.

[vashts80]

How does one exactly do heel toe? I've always thought Nicko basically blasted his foot down on the pedal then lifted it a little bit, blasted it, etc etc.

[Lord Abortion]

page three... dearie me

I don't know how nicko does it

complete brilliance, folks

[amateurbassist]

with the release of The Early Day's, that would lead people to beleive they are going to do something like a The In-The-Middle Day's, which would lead to think they will make something like a The Final Day's.




the next two story dvds.....

the peak days

the later days

[GurS]

My drum teacher can't do the wicker man like nicko, and I'm willing to bet neither can your drummer. why?

because while the speed is attainable, and I have no doubt that your drummer CAN reach such speed (as can my teacher), what is nigh-on impossible is the POWER. get your drummer to slam the bass pedal as hard as he can. Hear the volume/power on that? now try and get your drummer to do THAT power at nicko speed. tell me if he succeeds, k? :thumb:

[Lord Abortion]

power= fine

nicko speed= fine

well, I've started learning Brave New World on bass, only problem is that theres a lot of different versions of it :confused: the one I have works fine though, just need to start getting my speed up on it.

[vashts80]

Brave New World on bass is pretty easy, it's about the rhythm. I play the barebones version though, without the strums every 5 seconds in the chorus and I think verse.

[Deth]

Just work on the speed. Once you have that down, most Maiden tunes aren't that tough.

[FlyingPaul_83]

My new favorite maiden song is be quick or be dead.

I just think it's the coolest thing i've ever heard

Great song. Not in my top ten, but a good song nonetheless.

Just work on the speed. Once you have that down, most Maiden tunes aren't that tough.
well as I've only been playing 4 days, I'm just going to have to keep practising until I can get my speed up.

Yeh, 2 days til my driving test, hope I pass...can't afford to take it again!

For your Bass, start with some basic plod alongs, and after a while go onto Maiden. If you only play Maiden, you'll limit your style.

I've had the same thought.

Wildest Dreams is a good video, So's run to the hills, NOTB, Women in Uniform, Afraid to shoot strangers, From here to eternity, Aces high, the Camp Chaos version of Aces high is 'kin amazing.

[Stew_Blink]

I agree that all of those video's being good. It would be to long to make a Passchendale video. A good video that Maiden could do would be DoD but it's also to long..but it would make a great video if they did it right.

[GurS]

trooper = best camp chaos

I like the videos for The Trooper, Run To The Hills, Aces High, Rainmaker and Wickerman videos. The rest are either live or horrible.

[Lord Abortion]

I completely disagree- being more than a litle biased towards cradle and can't understand the negative sentiment towards a fantastic band

cradle put an extra amount of atmosphere and pain into hallowed It's the best cover of a maiden song I've ever heard

[Thunder Fingers]

oh, the pain is there Lord abortion, the pain is REALY THERE....(fdor the listener that is...)

OFCOURSE I DO!

[Lord Abortion]

my band's version of the trooper has harsh(er) vocals but musically the same as maiden play... (bassist uses fingers, not downtuned etc.)

better?

[Deth]

I like the CoB covers, the Arch Enemy one is OK, but not great, and I haven't heard the CoF cover.

[Lord Abortion]

what do AE cover?

[Deth]

Aces High. The vocals don't work too well and you can barely hear the solos.

[Lord Abortion]

who is it singing?
angela or the dude?

these three must be the most covered maiden songs though

hallowed covers- cradle, iced earth, dream theater

the trooper- bodom (other people I cannot recall)

aces high- bodom, AE

anyone else covered these?

[Deth]

It's Angela, I'll try to upload it tomorrow.

I like the Iced Earth Hallowed as well.

I've got the album. I love the solo work..
The first song, "Abducted", kicked major ***.

[Vitalogy]

Well atleast you guys can play. :confused: I cant even play solos.... :confused:

[Thunder Fingers]

did Janick, Adrian or Dave help with Bruce's new album?

I dont think so... i think Dave is the only Maiden Guitarist that havent been on a Bruce Album...

[ashman]

Well atleast you guys can play. :confused: I cant even play solos.... :confused:

Well I can't play the solos note for note, I like to make my own solos (therefor making it easier :p ), because solos are alway unique and should never be the same.


I don't think H or Janick is on his new album.

[Thunder Fingers]

I can Play the Majority of the Guitar solo in Black Sabbaths "paranoid" on bass :p

[crag]

I dont think so... i think Dave is the only Maiden Guitarist that havent been on a Bruce Album...
ive always wondered why daves never been on a bruce album

[ashman]

I just checked, it turns out that it's just Bruce, Roy Z and the drummer...

[Thunder Fingers]

Roy Z did the bass to then? that might explain the boring basslines... they should have the guy that played on chemical wedding, hes awsome..

[Lord Abortion]

I just found some tabs for: Kill Devil Hill, Power of the sun and Navigate the seas of the son...the guitar riffs are those really cool, but simply ones...but the bass is:

-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-5-7-0-0-0

[YDload]

Surprisingly, Steve Harris is getting plenty of nominations in the top bassists thread. That's good! I wish I could say the same for Chris Squire though :(

There's no way that guy isn't top 100 material. He's the best pick bassist ever.

[vashts80]

I've always wondered, how does Steve get that clicky type sound? I want to try and get a good tone on my poor little GSR190 and 10w Ibanez practice amp, and I doubt that I can get a good Harris-emulation out of it, but I'd like to emulate him as much as I can.

I have bass all the way up, mids all the way down, treble all the way up, prescence all the way up and volume at mid way. On my bass, I have the P-pickup solo'd (J muted and P all the way up) and the tone all the way up.

[Thunder Fingers]

^i have no idea, i tend to get the clicking nomather what i tend to have my eq on...

If you have ever watched him on a video he looks like he is attacking the strings pretty hard with his fingers, so maybe that and a combination of eq settings give you that clicky sound, but good question i have always wondered that too.

[YDload]

The clicking sound comes from the string hitting the frets above the ones you're using. Say you're fretting the seventh fret (fairly common in Maiden songs :p), the clicking would come from the string hitting the 19-20th frets, or somewhere up there. I like that sound, but I can only get it by attacking the strings really obnoxiously and plucking close to the end of the neck (like Geezer).

[thelittledrummerboy]

who played the instruments on Bruce's solo album?

[Lord _Abortion]

hello, he played them himself :thumb:

weird, steve plays more or less directly over the pick up...

[Deth]

I can't sound anything like Steve because I have a double humbucker bass.

[Lord Abortion]

heh... "humbucker"
sounds quite sexual...

NP- purgatory

[the_uber_penguin]

Does anyone know what effect Adrian uses from bars 72 to 76 in The Wicker Man (it's about half way through the guitar solo, after where he plays a slower riff quite low on the guitar, and just before he slides up to do the high part).

I think it's chorus, but it's really bugging me.

[ashman]

heh... "humbucker"
sounds quite sexual...

NP- purgatory

I'll Humbucker you

/shakes fist in an angry manner


YDload: It could be chorus, is it that bit where he does that thing where you slide up and down the fretboard really fast?

[Thunder Fingers]

i cant hide my curiosity... ibanez?

[Josh]

Bruce Sings, Roy Z plays both Guitars and Bass, I don't know about Drums.
so when he does gigs, does he just get a session musician in?

[Deth]

i cant hide my curiosity... ibanez?
It's a Spector Performer series. It's my only bass, but I love it.

How about you?

[shadow_stalker]

Sack-man hows the bass learning going?

[Thunder Fingers]

It's a Spector Performer series. It's my only bass, but I love it.

oh, im a fender man, i play the Fender Geddy Lee Jazz Bass(and pretty soon ill probaly will be going through the same amp as him :p)

[Josh]

Sack-man hows the bass learning going?
meh...haven't learnt anything new, can't get any new tabs either as i don't have any printer paper :( and i can't fit the bass in the computer room.

[Deth]

oh, im a fender man, i play the Ender Geddy Lee Jazz Bass(and pretty soon ill probaly will be going through the same amp as him :p)
I would have had you for a P-bass man myself. Well, there you go.

[Thunder Fingers]

yeah, you would wouldnt you? :p i would myself.. but someway i always end up with jazzes :p

[Deth]

I've liked all of the jazzes I've played, I'll say that.

[Thunder Fingers]

the geddy Lee i bought purely on looks and reviews.. i made succsess, but im never gonna do it again :p but with Fenders made in Japan its usually a Win...

[YDload]

meh...haven't learnt anything new, can't get any new tabs either as i don't have any printer paper :( and i can't fit the bass in the computer room.

You don't need tabs for Iron Maiden songs, just remember these four notes:

G--------------------------------
D--------------------------------
A-7777-5555-3333--22-55--7777-
E--------------------------------

That's the gist of almost every Maiden song, although if you need help with the fills just play a lot of 5's, 7's, and 9's.

[Brew]

I saw the video of Blaze getting angry after a fan spat at him during The Trooper earlier.

It was quite funny, but his singing was pretty poor, he couldn't hit the same high notes as Bruce during the ''Whoas''.

thats coz bruce kicks ***

[Brew]

Bruce is a funny guy, I've got a few of his rants from various shows.

[Glass Onion]

IMO Blaze was just a terrible singer for Maiden. His voice just didn't suit them in the slightest and lacked the emotion Maiden needed. And live he was just crap. I've got a bootleg DVD of an show in Argentina I think and his voice is all over the place. I can't stand X Factor or Virtual XI either the only song I like with Blaze is The Clansman.

Bruce is almost perfect for Maiden. I just wish he could pull of some of the Dianno era songs better :thumb:

[Brew]

I might be seeing Di'Anno with Maiden England as his backing band. It should be interesting.

Yea, I agree, I think Blaze Bayley wasn't distinctive enough to be as good as Bruce.

[Thunder Fingers]

The X Factor Rocks! :mad:

[Brew]

From what I've heard of the Blaze-era Maiden albums its good stuff.

I guess you could compare Blaze being in Maiden to Ian Gillan being in Black Sabbath, two voices that weren't right for the style that their predicessors(sp?) had, but good for the time that they were there.

[metalcritter666]

The X Factor Rocks! :mad:
I don't like what I've heard from the X-Factor. It's......lacking in something. :-/

[crag]

i think people hate Blaze so much because they keep comparing him to Bruce who is an amazing singer, if Bruce never joined Maiden and Blaze did people would have liked him more

[ashman]

so when he does gigs, does he just get a session musician in?

Possibly, or they just don't gig, I don't think Bruce would have the time especially with the Early Days tour coming up.


TXF and VXI are great albums, they went a whole new direction, which I liked, but it wasn't as good as Bruce.

[Ibanez_slinger]

u know...he has a point.....
Blaze was a good singer.....but i feel that he wasnt able to fill bruces shoes afer he left.dont get me wrong ....he is an amazing singer,he just didnt fit the bill.

[vashts80]

Somebody else said this, and it's the exact truth. We compare Blaze to Bruce too much to notice that they're two totally different styles of singing. Blaze is a very good vocalist, but if you compare him to Bruce, he is a bad vocalist.

[Glass Onion]

I know hes a different singer from Bruce but IMO opinion his voice just doesn't suit maiden. I've heard live stuff of him and studio and i just didn't like his voice. Paul was a completly different style to Bruce and I like Dianno's style but if he was to take on Bruces songs I doubt he could pull off many of them, Same with Bruce doing Dianno i don't think he can do it that well.

Also the first Maiden songs I heard was on a Blaze album, I think it was Virtual XI but can't really remember and I didn't like his voice then either so I couldn't have compared it to Bruce's.

EDIT: Wheres this Dianno with Maiden England gig taking place Brumington? Is it a one of or a mini tour thing?

The X-Factor and Virtual XI are good albums, Blaze sounded great for them as his voice suits darker songs much more than Bruce's voice, and the 2 Blaze albums were much darker than most of the Bruce albums.

the only Maiden studio album i haven't heard so far is No Prayer for the Dying.

He's touring the UK with Maiden Scotland supporting him on the Scotland shows, and Maiden England supporting him on the English shows. (They may be the same band, I'm not too sure).

I think its in July.
