Iron Maiden

[Glass Onion]

I thought I got the 9000th? On my screen its saying he's got 9001st...and I've just noticed that. Yay for me :thumb: ;)

I was listening to Dream Theater playing Hallowed before. Being a live bootleg though the production on its pretty poor. It sounds wierd with the clicky bass of Harris aswell.

[YDload]

Steve Harris is in the top ten nominations in the 100 top bassists so far :thumb:

Glad to hear it. Definetely deserves to be.

[YDload]

Yeah he made it to number four, just behind Flea, Geddy, and Les. He's the top heavy metal bassist (as well he should be)!

Also, eddie-the-trooper should be happy to know that the guy from Stratovarius that he was pushing for made it to the top 100 too.

what? i thought i was the only one nominating him..:p

[Glass Onion]

Has anybody heard that String Quartet tribute to Iron Maiden? Its pretty funny and some come across quite well untill the solo's which just sounds wrong on violins.

[ashman]

Not heard 'em

[Lord Abortion]

x- factor is an amazing album... in fact it may be my favourite maiden album...

blaze is an incredible vocalist... he and bruce are two different types of vocalist... comparing them would be pointless

[Lord Abortion]

double post does not count over two days...

*bumpage*

anyway... I love fortunes of war, it rules

[Deth]

I haven't heard many of the tracks from the X-Factor. That makes me somewhat sad.

[crag]

I haven't heard many of the tracks from the X-Factor. That makes me somewhat sad.
neither have i, i must buy it

[GurS]

i find x-factor good but serverly lacking, and very, VERY samey.

[Deth]

Watch out, eddie-the-trooper will be after you for that. Even though you said it's good.

[GurS]

well, i'm sorry, but it IS lacking for about half the album. SOTC, good. Lord of the flies, good. Heart of darkness, good. Man on the edge, good. The unbeliever, good. Look for the truth, good.

Everything else is basically the same. I mean, not only do I struggle to tell them apart, but I believe THREE of the songs on that album use EXACTLY THE SAME CHORD SEQUENCE.

[Deth]

It's not me who's complaining, but eddie will be on your case as soon as he shows up.

[GurS]

good :)

[Thunder Fingers]

dude.... atleast 70 Maiden songs Follow the same progression..:lol:

you got the 8999th reply, but including the 1st post of the thread (ie threadstarters post) it was the 9000th. mine was the 9000th reply to the original post.

/stops being big-headed.

i now know all of Brave new world, and i'm almost up to speed :)

i've started learning songs by other bands on bass now, such as Guns n Roses, Metallica, etc - i'm not using a pick for GNR though :thumb:

but they all are class

[DJ69]

I just started listening to some Iron Maiden, and they are ****ing awesome!!!! I was just wondering if someone could give me some advice on what they think are the best maiden cd's, i have just bought number of the beast, and other suggestions would be awesome please.

[blue3]

Powerslave and Piece of Mind are great albums. You should get those, or one of the "best of" CDs..

[podbassist]

Powerslave and Piece of Mind are great albums. You should get those, or one of the "best of" CDs..

Number of the Beast is the best "starter" album there is. It's what got me into them :cool:

I guess you're kinda like me. I'm 17, RHCP is my fav band (you prolly know that already), but Maiden is my 2nd fav. They're pure awesomness. My fav Maiden albums are Number of the Beast and Powerslave. I think that after those 2 you should prolly get Piece of Mind, their self titled album (note... different singer on that album) and maybe Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. I'm probably forgetting some though.

[Glass Onion]

Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden, Killers, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.

Yeah it's defintely an underrated album, though there are some weaker songs on it.

[shadow_stalker]

I think it gets weak around the fugative and weekend warrior, they arent all weak but it kind of dips there.

EDIT: that was meant to be inbetween those two songs.

[Deth]

Yet another Maiden album I haven't heard much of :-/.

[ashman]

I think it gets weak around the fugative and weekend warrior, they arent all weak but it kind of dips there.

GET OUT OF MY HOUSE

*ahem*



in fairness, I thought it rawked first time I heard it.... then a bit less the next time... then getting slightly stale the third time.... then getting more mediocre... and more... and more... and *zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*


but seriously

Good songs:

BQOBD
FHTE
Fugitive
Judas be my guide
FOTD

Mediocre:

ATSS
Childhood's End
Wasting Love
Chains Of Misery

Atrocious:

Fear Is The Key
The Apparition (shudder)
Weekend Warrior (can you get any cheesier?)

[easchill]

iron maiden kick @$$ :thumb:

[Josh]

i don't really like the studio version of FOTD, IMO its a bit weak. but live FOTD is awesome.

[Loser Boy Jay]

Wish they would tour again... and actually come to my city... Lets start a riot!

[Lord Abortion]

I don't much like FOTD - pretty weak album

one of my three least- liked maiden albums

first three tracks and title rule... and that's about it...


wasting love live is much better

[Josh]

its the weakest of all the studio album's i've heard, and i've heard them all except NPFD

[Lord Abortion]

also the first one he got...

[Josh]

it was the first Maiden album i bought, i already had pirates of BNW, DoD and Edward the great.

[Deth]

My first was Edward the Great, which I now think is just a mediocre best of album. My first real album was NOTB.

[Stew_Blink]

My first Maiden album was Number Of The Beast, I have a burnt copy of RiR.

[Thunder Fingers]

errh.. i dont remember... i think it was a burned version of BNW....

[GurS]

my first was NOTB... I then bought Powerslave and FOTD at the same time... I then got DOD for a present, I then got burned copies of BNW, S/T and Edward the Great, I bought 7th Son, Killers, and both LAD's on a trip to canada (as well as RiR the DVD), I forget after that. I think it was NPFTD, then X-Factor.

[icebase]

IM BACK
YEA
well i have the maiden tickets so. does anyone here live in northern ireland or ireland? and if they do are you going to the maiden/mansion concert?

[Lord Abortion]

hey icey-boy

you go and return like the changing seasons...

first album would be... edward the great and rock in rio

studio-wise it was- actually I can't remember...
I got beast, ST, virtual xi and BNW all around the same time

[Deth]

Does anyone else here not like Edward the Great? I think the tracks are weak. My best of album would pwn theirs.

[Lord Abortion]

I hate edward the great- it's mostly singles

and they generally ain't maiden's best on there

no sanctuary?
or aces high?

and any best of without hallowed be thy name is blasphemy...

[GurS]

Does anyone else here not like Edward the Great? I think the tracks are weak. My best of album would pwn theirs.

it's got some good songs, but overall, i do feel the tracklisting is quite week. The 1-disc version of BOTB > ETG

[Deth]

Most of their best tracks wouldn't make it to a best of though because they are either too long or not well known enough.

[Lord Abortion]

yeah...
hardly anyone would choose still life on a best of and it's my second favourite maiden track ever...

[GurS]

true, true.

At least BOTB had hallowed be thy name on it. AND running free (Live After Death version, too :D)

[Lord Abortion]

it's a pity BOTB was discontinued...

i wanted it

[Deth]

Me too :-/. But I'd rather have Eddies Archive.

[MAthiAS]

Maiden best ofs are stupid, because each album is its own masterpiece. Maiden isn't one of those bands that you should just check out a best of.

[GurS]

That would have been true of the 80's, but there was such crap on the albums during the 90's, that the whole decade could be reduced to a 2-disc album of pure gold, rather than four mediocre albums.

17/05/2005: SVT announce historic Iron Maiden live TV broadcast


Sweden’s National TV Broadcaster, SVT, have signed an agreement to film and broadcast Iron Maiden LIVE at their sold out show at the Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg on July 9th. This makes history as the first time any artist has had their show broadcast in full, nationwide in Sweden since LIVE AID back in 1985. The show is also being broadcast by National TV broadcaster YLE in Finland.

SVT will be broadcasting the show live directly on SVT2 from the Ullevi Stadium while in Finland, YLE, will be broadcasting with a one hour delay.

The Ullevi Stadium show promises to be the showcase of the bands upcoming European Tour as the Stadium will be rammed with 55,000 Maiden fans who were lucky enough to get tickets in the rush that saw the show completely sell out within two and a half hours of going on sale last November following 75,000 ticket applications!! After Bruce Springsteen this is the second fastest sellout of a stadium show in Sweden ever. Similar reactions have happened in both Norway with 17000 tickets and Finland with 22000 tickets, both selling out in incredibly quick time.

Says Steve Harris,'We've always enjoyed massive support from our Swedish fans and in many ways it's like a home match for us in the welcome we always receive . The band always love playing there and we are looking to put on a spectacular show for everyone there and all the fans who will be watching at home. It's a fantastic way to finish the European tour thanks to SVT and we're working with them to make sure this will be a great moment of TV history for both of us.'

Iron Maiden will be performing songs almost exclusively from their legendary first four albums which saw them become one of Rock and Metals biggest Icons, a position they have maintained consistently for 25 years

Manager Rod Smallwood explains, 'This European Tour will be the biggest we have ever done in terms of the number of fans we will play to so we want to make it very special. Following the theme of the very successful 'Early Days' DVD we are taking these first four albums and tours as the theme for the set list and for the Production of the show, which will be featuring some of the ideas incorporated in the early days of the band, particularly on The Beast on the Road Tour and the World Piece Tour. This is going to be huge and a unique treat for our fans... and anyone else!!!”

The broadcast will go out on SVT2 and is scheduled to start at 9.15pm. The show is to be broadcast in regular stereo but also in 5.1 Surround Sound allowing fans at home who can decode the signal to be able to feel as though they are right there in the stadium.

notice the bit I made bold...so what songs might they do from later albums?

[MAthiAS]

Hopefully Paschendale...

[Josh]

yeh, that would be good, it was amazing last time...i really want them to do Blood Brothers while I'm there though...

[crag]

maiden are bringing out a new album!!!!!

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/upcoming_releases/iron_maiden_concept_album.html

[ashman]

And it's a concept album...sounds cool.


Also there's gonna be a Nicko instructional video, so Gur would be pleased....

[Hui_LP]

Yeeeesss!

More...Maiden...

[Glass Onion]

Yay songs from their first 4 albums on the new tour! Hopefully Phantom of the Opera and Killers will pop in in that list along with other Dianno greats.
The new concept album sound cool. I read something about a new live album and DVD from the DOD tour aswell the otherday but I'm not to keen on the setlist....

And to whoever I said I would up-load that maiden tribute online for its uploading now i'll have a link soon :thumb:

[ashman]

Death on the Road comes out on the 28th, I believe.

prodigal son is not really what I was looking for in the summer

it will still be cool but they could have better songs in...

YES! NICKO DVD!!!!!!!! YES!!!! :D:D:D: :lol: got a little excited there..

[Stew_Blink]

My band might have our first gig sometime soon..so I was wondering if you guy's could suggest some idea's for some songs we could play? I want Maiden, and I can play a fair few of the songs..give a few suggestions of Maiden songs for us please?

Lead-Learn's stuff fast, is a really good guitarist
Rythem/vocals-should be lead, but he wants to sing, he's amazing
Bass-fairly good, learn's stuff fairly fast
Drums-I'm decent enough

[Lord Abortion]

we are currently learning the trooper and futureal...

hallowed when we get a bigger stage-time

[the_uber_penguin]

The Wicker Man :D

We're going to take an interlude just before it, so we can start it the same way they do on Rock In Rio (maybe use Duel Of The Fates from the Star Wars I soundtrack instead of Arthur's Farewell, though).

[Thunder Fingers]

[D-Noon12]

Yeah, I'm a HUGE Maiden fan.. Prodigal Son is the ONLY Maiden song I've ever heard that I don't like. Why would anyone do a cover of that? I've NEVER heard a cover of that song by a good band such as Iced Earth or Cradle of Filth. I suggest NOT doing that. :evil:

[paco999]

In spite of everyone mentioning what Maiden songs are they currently learning. I'd like to add that I'm learing the guitars from Transylvaina the intro and most of the other riffs are easy. However, those solos are a bitch, or is it just my inexperience.

Phantom of the Opera on bass

That is one of the Hardest tabs I've ever tried (and failed) to play.

[AIC/EAZY-E]

I've just got into Maiden, and I downloaded what are considered their best songs. The one that stood out the most were Hallowed Be Thy Name and Rime Of The Ancient Mariner. Those songs pwn me so hard. And Bruce Dickinson is still such a good singer, his live performance from what I've heard is still pretty flawless even though they've been going over 20 years strong. I plan to stay away from the singer between Somewhere In Time (?) and No Prayer For The Dying as the general consensus is, they suck. But I'm sure people in this thread think otherwise.

You mean Blaze. He was on X Facter, and Virtual XI.

[Thunder Fingers]

^haha.. Blaze dont suck... and blaze was on X factor and Virtual XI.. your a idiot if you follow the general opinion, make up your own, listen to them, and if you think they suck, ah well... atleast you tried...

Somewhere in Time, Seventh son of a seventh son, No prayer for the dying AND fear of the Dark have Bruce on Vocals..

mmm... six-string

ok I accept it's awesome and would be extremely grateful if maiden play it

[Thunder Fingers]

mmm...six string? :confused:

that wasnt realy my goal, but anyway, you should be grateful for that maiden still make music and are touring, so what if they play a song you dont like? (like some of the guys on the IM BB, starts complaining over the 2 last albums being to long... feck 'um.. i start to remember why i left that place....)

ok, i love you again..:lol:

[Lord Abortion]

yeah... I was on maidenfans - that WAS elitist

I AM grateful for the joy that maiden bring the world
and may it continue for many more years

Last two albums long?

I don't think so...

[Thunder Fingers]

i like every song on them, Maiden have no songs that make me scream in horror.... nor have Rush...

[Lord Abortion]

yeah...

I was reading the fear of the dark insert last night...

there are a few anti-apparition jokes in there

like where the band are sitting with signs with the song names nicko has the apparition, which he has let fall and looks pissed off

another one is that on the back there is the track listing with "the apparition/gers"
on it- there are no other credits on the tracklist

like they are trying to move the blame for this on janick

[Deth]

Every band needs a whipping boy I suppose. Why not the new(ish) guy?

[crag]

poor janick :lol:

[RockerGav]

Wow, long time no post in here.

Just got the Run to the Hills book, anyone else got/read it? No doubt there will be....What do you guys think of it?

Got Somewhere in Time and Fear of the Dark last week, not listened to Fear yet but I have listened to SiT, its probably my least favourite Maiden album that I've got so far, although theres still plenty of good stuff on it.

Only need 3 more albums to make the wee Eddy face thing from the sides of the albums, I know I need Killers (have it on vinyl and CDR already though), No Prayer for the Dying, and one other one, I'm thinking its A real live/dead one? Don't know, I have all the other Bruce/Di'Anno studio albums....So I'm thinking its probably a live one.

[MAthiAS]

Got Somewhere in Time and Fear of the Dark last week, not listened to Fear yet but I have listened to SiT, its probably my least favourite Maiden album that I've got so far, although theres still plenty of good stuff on it.

SiT is very underrated IMO. Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner is my favorite Maiden song, and the album as a whole is very awesome. I think its just overshadowed by the perfection of SSOASS.

i think it is a real live / dead one that you need, if its not that it's live after death - i think you only need up to FOTD to make the face?
SiT is very underrated IMO. Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner is my favorite Maiden song, and the album as a whole is very awesome. I think its just overshadowed by the perfection of SSOASS.
SiT is a great album, my favourite songs off it are: Caught somewhere in time, sea of madness, heaven can wait, wasted years, déja vu, stranger in a strange land, alexander the great - oh wait, thats all of them :lol:

[deadeddie]

And Phantom of The Opera!

So, I got round to listening to some covers I d'l/d on my laptop a while ago... I can't remember who did it, but some band do a REAL GOOD power metal style cover of POTO (not expected, I know, but done very well).

So, what is your favourite cover of a Maiden song?

Oh man, I'd love to see how Steve pulls that off live at an even faster tempo. I still think it's the most challenging song that I've ever attempted to play the whole way through with some success, but nothing beats watching it performed by the masters.

I'm still HOPING to see them at Ozzfest this year, but I don't know what my friends' schedules are like. I know there are a lot of crappy cookie-cutter nu-metal bands there, but would I wait patiently for them to finish screaming like ninnies (with the exact same inflection for every singer too) to watch IRON MAIDEN and the ORIGINAL BLACK SABBATH?? Oh hell yeah.

I like Iced Earth's Hallowed, and no matter what Eddie-the-trooper says, I think the CoB covers are great.

I hear Dream Theater covered Maiden as well, though I haven't heard it.

[GurS]

COB Aces > COB Trooper

and the Power Metal cover of POTO was by "New Eden". It's on the "A Call To Irons" tribute album

[crag]

does anyone know any websites that let you listen to the covers of maiden songs

[Stew_Blink]

^Tis Dave in your avatar :)

Sorry I don't beleive I know any. I actually haven't even listened to a full cover of a Maiden song, I find that there all not even as close to good as the originials. But that's just me.

here (http://s37.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2HOW64JC37CMQ3HJFAEOETX6DA) is Bruce & Dream Theater doing Where Eagles Dare - well, the start, until Bruce forgets the words.
I dont have any of the actual covers DT did of Maiden though, but I know they covered all of NOTB.

[Stew_Blink]

Here's a little question..
From Maiden's first album release to 1990 what were your favorite songs?
From 1990-2005 what are your favorite songs?

I'll do my list in a bit.

That narrows us down to: Transylvania, The Ides of March, Genghis Khan or Losfer Word (Big 'Orra).

Unless we can find another Guitarist, it looks like I'll be harmonising by myself :amaze:

I only play bass, and Transylvania is tricky enough as it is. I really like the octaves Steve plays in the solo section though. You know, the one which has the traditional Maiden progression of E-D-C-D-E? It's fun. :)

Also, if you want a singer that won't pale in comparison to Bruce, just do a Di'Anno song!

he's better at death metal vocals than Maiden style vocals, he's good at Maiden stuff but not as good as he is at Death metal type stuff. and i don't know if he's got any way of recording, as we're off school this week...he might not be on MX for a while, depends if he's at his mother's or father's i think.

So what song are we doing?

[Iron_Maiden_890]

GO IRON MAIDEN! Best band in the world. (in my opinion) Steve Harris rules at Bass and I am totally blanking on the lead singers name but he has an awesome voice.

I love The Trooper, The Wicker Man, and Fear of the Dark.
