I personally think that Iron Maiden's best song is Number of the Beast (666)
speaking of that, will someone help me out and get me the tabs?

http://www.mxtabs.net/tab_versions.php?path=Guitar,i,621,Iron+Maiden,The +Number+Of+The+Beast%28all%29,201911

That's the best there is on the net, get Powertabs or GP4, full of all good tabs. :thumb:

[Thunder Fingers]

:lol:

Beautiful.

We have to add Craigmaiden666 in there somehow now.

So we got: Hallowed be Thy Name, Phantom of the Opera and The Prisoner?

I say We go for all three! :D

:lol:
This girl at work is supposed to have a pink t-shirt from the ol' days in the 80s, I'm gonna buy it off her.

Is Dance of Death a worthwhile buy?

[Deth]

I would say so, though if your Maiden collection is low, it might not be the best to get.

[ashman]

Is Dance of Death a worthwhile buy?

It's great album, more of an acquired taste though.

HBTN wouldn't be in my top 10.

HBTN wouldn't be in my top 10.

:confused:

[GurS]

:confused:


well, it wouldn't

i could right now name FIFTEEN songs better than HBTN:

Sanctuary (di'anno version), running free (di'anno version), POTO (any version), Killers (maiden england version), prodigal son, drifter (di'anno version), Children Of The ****ed, Total Eclipse, Where Eagles Dare, Revalations, Flight of Icarus, Still Life, To Tame A Land, Aces High, 2 Minutes To Midnight


to name a few :)

[Deth]

You are correct.

NP: Sea of Madness (guess which album I'm listening to :))

[vashts80]

IMO, Steve's backup vocals live pwn Adrian's (especially on RTTH)

Adrian's voice is incredibly deep :x

[Lord Abortion]

steve can't sing- but he tries and we love him for it

[vashts80]

When I first heard Steve's backup vocals on RTTH, I thought that was Janick. No joke.

Edit: But...still...Steve > Adrian. :x :P

[Lord Abortion]

that rasp... :lol:

[YDload]

So today I was drivin' down the highway and I found out that Powerslave is the best Maiden album to drive along to. It's got Aces High, 2 Minutes to Midnight, Back in the Village, the title track, and Rime for some great driving songs.

I just plugged my bass into a guitar amp to get that trebly sound. You might be thinking "doesn't that ruin the guitar amp?" but as long as you keep the lows scooped out (or... turned down, whatever) then the amp will be fine.

I just have a regular Fender Jazz Bass with roundwounds.

Wow, you guys are pulling out all the stops. Thats a great song list.

[Maiden Fan9053]

Have you guys seen the setlist for the 'Eddie rips up the world' tour?
I found this on a website, its from the Prague show:

murders in the rue morgue
another life
prowler
the trooper
remember tomorrow
run to the hills
charlotte the harlot
revelations
where eagles dare
die with your boots on
phantom of the opera
the number of the beast
hallowed be thy name
iron maiden
running free
drifter
sanctuary

pretty cool, eh? :thumb:

Yeah that's pretty cool. I didn't know if they still played "Charlotte the Harlot" just because it's rarely mentioned here, but it's a really fun song to play.

[Thunder Fingers]

^maby not everyone wanna see the setlist before the gig? i have no problem with it though...

[Thunder Fingers]

and for info... charlotte have ben replaced with Wrathchild...:upset:

Okay, you're just saying that Wrathchild should be there instead? I got ya.

[Thunder Fingers]

no, i said it was no longer in the set, it HAVE been replaced with Wrathchild, i would much prefer Charlotte, but its the bands decision..

[Lord Abortion]

/cries

I want still life.... waahhh

oh well amazing setlist(and that's why I only posted a link to it rather than the whole thing so people can see it if they want

we've bloody heard wrathchild though (no more complaints or eddie will e-slap me...)

[zinner zero]

the song list its still amazin anyways, many of those songs are awesome live i would add fear of the dark, can i play with madnness and the evil that men do that are awesome live ooo and i would put iron maiden or run to the hills at the end of the song list, like in the rock in rio, it sounds amazing for a closing song

[Thunder Fingers]

Go put on the album, its a live concert, im not there for the special choosen songs they play(although, Hallowed and phantom = Gooooohooooohooood! :D)
Im there to enjjoy "Bomber" harris flying around the stage and the rest of the band..(i gotta admit, im gonna study hisd technique a bit..:lol:

[thelittledrummerboy]

Didn't think they'ed play Where eagles dare, It's fair hard song isn't it. But awesome setlist.

Np: The Clansman.

[zinner zero]

another awesome song live or on the album is 2 minutes to midnight

[appreciate_it]

im enchanted with Where eagles dare at the moment. It's amazing. The lyrics are brilliant. Im a singer and i want our band to do it, i just need to work on the last note in the song! dddddddaaa----REEEEEEEE!
Hey, that brings the question, does anybody know where bruce sings the highest note for iron maiden? (or highest song etc)

[vashts80]

Highest note, would probably be the NOTB scream, but I'm not sure.

Side note: Blaze's solo stuff owns. I love "Tearing Myself to Pieces", it's a great song

[zinner zero]

maybe the intro of be quick or be dead first track on the fear of the dark album

[thelittledrummerboy]

Wish we could find a singer for our band. I tell ya they are the hardest things to find. Hope u got a good drummer for where eagles dare.

[Josh]

well, this is the first time i've been on MX for a few days...

i got Bruce's solo album on Wednesday, its damn good - at the moment my favourite song from it is Navigate the Seas of the Sun.

----------

they played Wrathchild last time i saw them, its probably more of a crowd-pleaser than Charlotte the Harlot. anyway, you can't complain about the setlist as long as you get to see them this tour - 11 weeks 5 days! :)

[GurS]

so, we're doing rime, fotd, stoc, hallowed, iron maiden and POTO?

Give him both, the RiR version gives it a kinda good rocky feel and the Studio version is slightly Darker.

Craig are you on MSN? If so add me: ash_is_satan@hotmail.com

Talk we must about Guitars.


Also, I think we will be needing to do fills for some songs, so we might have upto 4 guitar tracks on some songs... :confusion:

[crag]

album version or Rock in Rio version?
eithers good, probably the original seeing as most of the tabs will be for it

[vashts80]

You can mix three guitars in the song, otherwise how would Maiden do it? Usually, one guitar is in the right, and one guitar is in the left (Usually, Adrian - R and Dave - L) with Janick in the center channel. :x

ok - here (http://s34.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3CNBMBPJEWDEG3QZKEVXORHIRZ) is the album version :thumb:

[GurS]

btw guys:

I may need to one of the geetars and martin to record some bits before I record my drum line, coz of the songs which start off without drums, I'm not too sure on how long you want to wait, coz we may have different ideas about tempo.

SO:

Can I have someone please record me:

POTO intro (up until the drums come in properly).
SOTC intro (up to the end of the "came to wash my sins away" bit)
Iron Maiden guitar intro

FOTD, HBTN and Rime start more or less at the same time, so no-one needs to do anything for that.

OPTIONALLY, I can just start playing when I come in, and I'll leave it up to Martin to not actually start the drum track playing until it when it would come in regularly. Whatever's easier, you know?

[Lord Abortion]

for SOTC i will be singing more like the blaze version anyway...

so darkness is good...

[GurS]

how goth of you, ollie

They use an overall tonality of Em a lot, however, their songs do tend to change key in places (Run to the Hills goes Em-Dmaj-Am-G-Dmaj-Am-G-Em-G. And remember, thats not chords, thats overall tonality, which dictates which chords are used)

Their riffs are all fairly similar in style, get lots of tabs and look for similarities between the notes they use and the rhythms.

[Josh]

Steve's bass looks cool though.

EDIT: now i see, H is using a different guitar. didn't he use that sort back in the early 80's?

[GurS]

He used an SG on the piece of mind album + tour, i do believe.

:lol: Yeah sure

[Lord Abortion]

aye... new mic next week so should be ok

[GurS]

I probs will record my parts either this weekend or early next week... to re-iterate: i need recordings of the following things so that the drums don't come in early or late or what not:


Bass or guitar of SOTC up to when the drums come in (end of the "came to wash my sins away" bit)
Guitar intro Iron Maiden
Bass or guitar intro of POTO

i think that's it

On another note..does anybody know why Bruce decided to cut his hair, or was it something that he just did for no reason?

[Thunder Fingers]

I had to sell it, if i hadnt i wouldnt have gotten My Brand New Fender 70's Reissue precision :D

[Thunder Fingers]

and please, when you record the files can you call it "Drums - phantom of the opera" "Guitar ASH - Phantom of the opera" Will make it alot easier for me than having 5 "Phantom of the opera" Files :lol:

[ashman]

haha. will do.

[crag]

wen one of you is done with the recording could you send me a file so i can keep in time with y'all

[Thunder Fingers]

ok we record after:
Phantom of the opera - Studio Album
Rime Of The Ancient Mariner - Studio Album
Hallowed Be thy Name - Live(live after death?)
Iron Maiden - Studio Album
Sign of the Cross - im not sure, someone tell me?
Fear of the dark - Studio Album...

please tell me if any of theese is wrong

[Lord Abortion]

sotc will be studio album

are we having the intro or can you mess around with it so it fits, Eddie?

just so I know because I know nothing about recording
If I come in after intro time will that be right?

i believe abortion wants to go for blazes darker style vocals for sotc so the studio version would probably be best

[ashman]

Just record your bit, it doesn't have to have the intro bit, since it can be mixed so that the drums come in after the intro.

[Lord Abortion]

right, cool

standing alone in the wind and rain...

to be Honest, if anyone know anything about recording, it would be better for them to do it than me... cant we just record the instrumental parts and then send it to you, so you can sing over it, and then back to me for the final touvh?

[YDload]

I'm pretty sure the order in which the tracks are recorded should be drums, bass, guitars, vocals.

[Thunder Fingers]

aye... but the drummer need intros for some songs that dont have drum intro's ;)

and you have to answer me! When did i ever claim i was a very good bassist? :mad:

[YDload]

aye... but the drummer need intros for some songs that dont have drum intro's ;)

But the drummer also needs to set the beat for the song! That's why he's gotta go first! I mean, couldn't he just record some hi-hat taps for the beginning when the guitar intros are going on?

Well, i bet Gur gonna read this so hell think about it, but to be honest, i cant play phantom of the opera intro to a metronome thingy.. :upset: i feel it always end up wrong...

Now answer my second question! :mad:

Now answer my second question! :mad:

Oh, I didn't see your second question up there:

The reason I thought you were a good bassist is because you played Rime and POTO with your band live, AT LIVE TEMPO! Doesn't that just have an implication underneath it of "I am awesome at bass?"

That's why I want to actually hear you play it, because that would be cool :)

[Riva]

Face it Eddie, you're a great bassist. At least, we think so. :)

[Lord Abortion]

to be Honest, if anyone know anything about recording, it would be better for them to do it than me... cant we just record the instrumental parts and then send it to you, so you can sing over it, and then back to me for the final touvh?
seems sensible to me...
this is a great way of doing it... :)

[Thunder Fingers]

well.. you can keep living in your bubble for 1 - 2 weeks more :lol:

[ashman]

well.. you can keep living in your bubble for 1 - 2 weeks more :lol:

Heh, you could always do 'tallica and make the Bass so quiet, that you can only hear the guitars...(not that the Guitars are gonna be any good)

[Thunder Fingers]

Psh, if im gonna turn dowe any of the instruments, we gonna sound like a Bass, drum and Vocal tribute to Iron Maiden ;)

nor would there be the enjoyable antics of janick

[Deth]

I suppose. I can't go through whole Maiden song without thinking about how happy Dave must be.

But still...with your solos and your wah-wah...*shakes fist*

[GurS]

A) i only want the recorded intros for rough speed that people are thinking off.
B) we're doing the released single version of hallowed live :)

[crag]

do you guys mind if i improv on some of the solos

gurs is that the hallowed from a real live dead one

[GurS]

ja, that's the one

[Josh]

well, according to Nicko's latest diary on ye good olde Maiden site (http://www.ironmaiden.com) he no longer makes a balls-up of Prowler, so thats good for all us who see them this year.

[Mr. Black]

Iron Maiden should quit now...


Shut up, man Iron Maiden are great.and they are in a line of great British bands, I dont think you could write a song like RUn TO THE HILLS

[AB/CD]

i dont think youve heard a song other than run to the hills

[the_uber_penguin]

I wander what it would sound like if Yoda replaced Bruce....

[Deth]

I can only dream...

Which Riffs/solo did you do? I wanted to sort this out before we did any recording....

eh i did the janick ones in sotc and the adrian ones in iron maiden (i think)

[Popup-Box]

I think this sounds like a very interesting project. It's always interesting listening to others' interpretations of Maiden songs.

I would really like to hear the solo's, but also the entire songs if recorded.

When you get the time, feel free to send sound files:

does anyone know why maiden changed the cover of iron maiden to a computer generated thingy :confused:

[Thunder Fingers]

Gur, i got an idea for you, start recording and hit a Crash or something(Very Weak) for each bar until you gonna come in...

[GurS]

i can do that, certainly... except for POTO. Actually, I guess I could

[Thunder Fingers]

i can do that, certainly... except for POTO. Actually, I guess I could

you could do that for poto to.. i have discovered that each of the intro riffs goes over 3 bars, but the third one doesnt stop to wait for the next to go, but there he only plays tripplets anyway...

[crag]

woo, almost learned janicks solo in fear, tis surprisingly easy :D

Interesting. I've been practicing that solo for quite some time myself.

I'd really like to hear your version.

Sometimes when playing it, I'm tempted to emulate the LIVE version instead of the studio version. The studio version is very perfect, but there's something about the energy in the live version. The extra bend in the beginning of it, as well as the frenzy further on.

I have always preferred Gers' solo over Murray's in this song.

So will I get the chance to hear your version soon?

i hope your not expecting it to be anywhere near the original coz i doubt it will (i only spent 5 mins working on it)

[Deth]

E-T-T, I have a question. How do you make your bass not sound terrible in Audacity? I'm running into problems with mine.

but i have to see them!!!! ugh.....

i hope your not expecting it to be anywhere near the original coz i doubt it will (i only spent 5 mins working on it)

Well, it depends. I know the originial is a masterpiece.

I also know that you obviously got another couple of weeks to practice. So, if you're spending your time right, you'll be able to pull off a decent version very soon.

Would you mind telling me how long you've been playing, just for the record? Thus, I get an idea of what to expect.

That can be said for many of Janick's solos.

*Is working on perfecting Janick's Paschendale solo. Still has no idea how the hell is going to pull off Adrian's*

[Lord Abortion]

that sing is incredible... I can never believe how good it is whenever I hear it

[YDload]

Which Iron Maiden album is best for pumping you up? Like, you can listen to the whole thing and be excited throughout? Right now I'm really digging the self-titled album just for all the energetic songs (except Remember Tomorrow, ugh).
