Iron Maiden

[rhcp pman]

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).

Yes, I agree with everything there. Phantom of the Opera is bloody awesome for that. Charlotte the Harlot is one of my fav Maiden songs for some reason. And I hate Remember Tomorrow.

[Lord Abortion]

hoi!

remember tomorrow and strange world (the latter especially) are the best songs on the ST but all those songs are great

[ashman]

What about PROWLER?!?!?!?! It's bloody ace...

[Lord Abortion]

i've been so bored today, got a week off school because exams have finished for most people (not me, my last one's on monday). i'm going to borrow an air rifle off the bloke who works with me dad to kill rabbits with, but he forgot it today :(. so i sat at home and listened to NPFD and Tyranny of souls, and other random music, and got bored.

Craig was talking about his POD, it's a Guitar Processing thingy jobby :confused:

[Josh]

nice "setlist". oops, i got a bit confused.

Don't worry about it, I always get things confused, especially with Guitars...

[Josh]

i don't understand guitars...i understand bass slightly more though.

[ashman]

i don't understand guitars...i understand bass slightly more though.

Very similar, but very different at the same time. :confused:

[Josh]

:lol: very true...at the moment my bass is plugged into a guitar amp :confused:
actually it's my mate's bass, and a different mate's guitar amp, as i don't have any gear of my own.

[Lord Abortion]

i don't understand guitars...i understand bass slightly more though.
you understand more than I do to be quite honest

he's like ... you know that solo in say, killers, how does dave do that?
and I say- is it dave? I can't tell the difference between a dave solo and an H solo

[Deth]

I'm really digging Somewhere In Time right now. I think every song on it is great.

[YDload]

What about PROWLER?!?!?!?! It's bloody ace...

Oh hell yeah. I think it's my favorite Maiden opener (Aces High is a close second), and the second best song on the self-titled after POTO.

[MAthiAS]

Here's a somewhat decent job I did on the Number of the Beast solos in between recording Megadeth songs, just to play something different, thought I'd share.

NICKO’S GOLF BALL

A fine summer evening, a breeze in the air
We see on a golf course our drummer fair
He lays down his golf ball and takes a big swing
What a jolly good shot, how far flies the thing!
His eyes follow after and notice the fall
He crosses the lawn to again strike the ball

It seems that his ball went into the hedges
Hmm, no, it’s not there he only gets scratches
He turns up each leaf, be it large or just small
But still he’s unlucky, no sight of his ball.

He gropes in the grass, peeks behind a large tree
Scans all the bushes, but his ball he can’t see.
Silently cursing, he climbs on a wall
But **** my old boots, he can’t find his ball.

In despair he goes poking out in the lake
After all it’s his golf ball that is here at stake.
All dripping wet he decides to crawl
Into the berries to find that **** ball.

Nick scratches his head and looks all around
To the left and the right, no ball can be found
To his dismay, he can’t really recall
Whereto exactly he shot that ‘Kin ball.

Nightfall comes quickly, first dusk and then dawn
Moat people are sleeping, but Nick scans the lawn
He searches through summer he searches through fall
The search is in vain; he can’t find his ball!

At last, all exhausted, he falls to his knees
He’s ready to give up, when guess what he sees?
He stares in amazement and cries; “Bless my soul!”
Now would you believe it, the ball’s in the hole!!!!

[ashman]

Nicko's birthday...

:lol:

Technically good, but maybe a lack of feeling? I think I missed a few strong vibratos, maybe a crazy bend or two. That said, you played the solo's without a backing, and that makes the performance even more impressive.

I preferred the second solo, just for the record.

as did i

[ashman]

One thing I've noticed is, that solos and riffage sounds parp without backing...

[MAthiAS]

Yeah, I noticed that too. Especially with Maiden, where so much is relying on the bass. The guitar of The Trooper and Aces High sound so empty without backing.

[Thunder Fingers]

i could need some steve harris sig strings for this :p unluckily, i cant aford them right now....

[podbassist]

Just got tickets to ozzfest, im seeing maiden, yes!

[FlyingPaul_83]

Maiden aint comin to my city. It's the first city that they aren't going to play at. I might still go though.

[FlyingPaul_83]

Yeah, I noticed that too. Especially with Maiden, where so much is relying on the bass. The guitar of The Trooper and Aces High sound so empty without backing.


The harmonized part in Flash of the blade is cool, but the bass in that part is so amazing.It just makes it like a thousand times better.

[Lord Abortion]

Just got tickets to ozzfest, im seeing maiden, yes!
I see maiden at leeds in 71 days... :lol:

[Lord Abortion]

[Surtr]

Me no get's why this is such a big deal? On Iron Maiden (RiR) at 3:00 he say's what sounds like "Scream For Me Magenrell" (Mag-N-Rill). Is he just saying Scream For Me Brazil and it's just comming out weird? or what?

[amateurbassist]

been away for ages cos i had to sort my life out, but i'm back now.....

i had a thought...... is it just me, or does Steve Harris sound his best during the "unfortunate" Blaze period.......


also has anyone else heard the Sonata Arctica version of Die With Your Boots On?

[Thunder Fingers]

IMO Steve Had his Best Bass sound during the Blaze Era... (ESPECIALLY on The X factor...)

[Lord Abortion]

there is NOTHING unfortunate about the blaze period, x-factor is my favourite maiden album alongside piece of mind

[amateurbassist]

so im not alone then???

and also i know there's nothing unfotunate about the Blaze period.... thats why i put the quotes around it....

[amateurbassist]

sorry for the double post but..............

has anyone else heard the Sonata Arctica version of Die With Your Boots On?

[vashts80]

yes, It just seems to come out a little odd

On Iron Maiden @ around 3:00, he says "Scream for me, Rock in Rio" :\

[Lord Abortion]

yes, but I thought we were talking about the janick one?

[Josh]

Sanctuary Records in coordination with Sony/BMG distribution are releasing The Essential Iron Maiden on 12th July - full press release with track listing below. The Essential series of compilations highlight the major artists on the Sony label. The series has generic black and white portrait cover art for all the series and is marketed in parallel to and often in different areas from frontline albums. Sony are very keen to add Maiden to the list of superstar artists already participating. This is for US release only as Maiden are only distributed by Sony/BMG in the USA and they see this as a Maiden career summary for the general American rock fan who may not yet be into Maiden and/or Metal and see this as a good way of introducing them. We think this is something we should all welcome, more inductees to the world of Metal and Maiden

Its probably worth mentioning here that for the rest of the world EMI have updated Edward the Great, which will be merged into the shops as stocks are reordered. This revised version has simply been brought up to date to represent the band by including 'Wildest Dreams' and 'Rainmaker' from 'Dance of Death' plus a new live version of 'Fear Of The Dark' (from the forthcoming Death On The Road double album which EMI release on 29th August) in place of 'The Clairvoyant', 'Infinite Dreams' and 'Holy Smoke.'

Apart from a new catalogue number the artwork remains unchanged.



PRESS RELEASE:

IRON MAIDEN TO RELEASE 2-CD COMPILATION 'THE ESSENTIAL IRON MAIDEN' VIA SANCTUARY ON JULY 12, 2005

Legendary Metal band Iron Maiden will release the career-spanning, two-CD compilation 'The Essential Iron Maiden' through Sanctuary Records USA on July 12, 2005.

This 27-song collection is a stellar addition to the critically acclaimed, top-selling 'Essential' best-of series.

'The Essential Iron Maiden' features some of the greatest heavy metal music ever recorded. Iron Maiden have had huge worldwide impact these past 25 years thanks to all-time classic albums like 'Iron Maiden,' 'Killers,' 'The Number Of The Beast,' 'Piece Of Mind,' 'Powerslave,' 'Live After Death,' 'Somewhere In Time,' 'Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son,' 'No Prayer For The Dying,' 'Fear Of The Dark,' 'The X Factor,' 'Virtual XI,' 'Brave New World,' 'Dance Of Death' and other live albums.

Every studio album and lineup of Iron Maiden is represented here. The package also includes sleeve notes from noted journalist Lonn Friend.

A sneak preview of the upcoming double live DVD and CD 'Death On The Road' is provided thanks to the inclusion of 'Iron Maiden' from this CD/DVD. The current, longtime lineup of vocalist Bruce Dickinson, guitarist Dave Murray, guitarist Adrian Smith, guitarist Janick Gers, bass guitarist Steve Harris and drummer Nicko McBrain recorded and filmed 'Death On The Road' in Germany in 2003 on the 'Dance Of Death' tour.

The songs on 'The Essential Iron Maiden' are:

Disc One - Paschendale, Rainmaker, The Wicker Man, Brave New World, Futureal, The Clansman, Sign Of The Cross, Man On The Edge, Be Quick Or Be Dead, Fear Of The Dark (Live), Holy Smoke, Bring Your Daughter... To The Slaughter and The Clairvoyant.

Disc Two - The Evil That Men Do, Wasted Years, Heaven Can Wait, 2 Minutes To Midnight, Aces High, Flight Of Icarus, The Trooper, The Number Of The Beast, Run To The Hills, Wrathchild, Killers, Phantom Of The Opera, Running Free (Live) and Iron Maiden (Live).

Iron Maiden will be touring North America again this summer as co-headliners with Black Sabbath on Ozzfest 2005, the 10th anniversary of the enormously popular festival.

[Deth]

That Essential album probably has the worst cover art ever dreamt of by Maiden.

No one here needs it though I assume.

[Lord Abortion]

ah what??

they replace two of the only reedeming songs on that stupid album and they do it to put wildest dreams and rainmaker on?

**** EMI!
**** them to hell!!

[Josh]

w00t! they don't need to change Edward the Great!

/will not get new version, has old (better) version!

i'll get the Death on the Road album, but probably not the DVD.

[Lord Abortion]

i'll get the Death on the Road album, but probably not the DVD.
bah -get the DVD or I will be forced to kill you

[Josh]

i never get round to watching DVDs, but i listen to cds while i do other things.

[Lord Abortion]

i never get round to watching DVDs, but i listen to cds while i do other things.

[Lord Abortion]

I can't wait to get the Death on the Road DVD. It shalt complete ones life...

[Taste_My_Scythe]

There's a DVD?

[Josh]

yeh, recorded on the Dance of Death tour...its being released on August 29th (3 days after i see them at Leeds - i saw them on DoD tour as well)

[ashman]

There's a DVD?

Aye that there is, that there is. It's released at the end of August and is the last part of the 'Story of Iron Maiden.'

It's always in Germany...or Rio...or Donington...never Hull :upset:

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Sweet. Definately need to check that out.

[Riva]

This car crash has prevented me from purchasing any more albums. Which means I am forever halted on my collection of Maiden albums and DVDs. :mad:

[Deth]

Hey, check out the Death On The Road cover art.

That is effin' cool.

[Thunder Fingers]

Edward & Son Undertakers.

That's one for the books.

[Josh]

[Taste_My_Scythe]

The cover art is awesome! Can't wait to get it!

[Josh]

Martin: just listened to Rush for the first time, i can see why you're such a huge fan of them, YYZ is an amazing song.

[Thunder Fingers]

once your truly caught, you find that they aint capable of making bad music, even on the worsty albums it sounds great.

[Josh]

any recommended songs? any chance of you uploading any?

[oliv_da_skinmasher]

Sign Of The Cross its from the blaze period its cool.


i'm goin to see Maiden in paris on sat :D

Ugh I cant stand that song. Too religious.

[AB/CD]

how the hell do u find it religious?

[Lord of Sword]

sign of the cross is my favourite blaze era song by far, although there's not much for it to compete with. i can't really see a religious connection, although i've never really looked the lyrics much. only problem with it for me is that it seems to drag on in places.

[peddlerofdeath]

how the hell do u find it religious?

[YDload]

Okay, I am really pissed for forgetting this one so could someone please help me out. What is the name of the Iron maiden song that Papa Roach ripped off?

Hey yeah, "Angels and Insects" does sound a bit like Prowler! If just for that vocal melody.

But also, Papa Roach ripped off the Green Day song "Brain Stew" when they made their first hit "Last Resort." Just thought I'd throw it out, that not all of their influences are so great. ;)

[ashman]

Are you kidding? Just go read the lyrics. http://www.darklyrics.com/lyrics/ironmaiden/rockinrio.html#8

SOTC is religious, it's like Holy Smoke but longer and not as Cheesy. It's about what religion has become.

i'm going to get really angry with this guy...

listen to all of X-factor a few times and realise how incredible it is, then come back here and apologise...

[Riva]

Anyone seen the new artwork for the new Maiden album? Looks pretty snazzy. Eddie doesn't look as much like Eddie, though.

[ashman]

Yeah it looks cool, but Eddie seems to be changing nowadays...

[Riva]

Yeah it looks cool, but Eddie seems to be changing nowadays...

Different artist, is it? I like the whip/scythe action.

[ashman]

Different artist, is it? I like the whip/scythe action.

Yeah, I don't think Derek Riggs has done any of the artwork since NPFD...

[Riva]

Hmmm... well, this artist seems to be the same as Brave New World.

I think Virtual XI, X-Factor and DoD all have the same artist.

Derek was the best though. If you walked into a record store, you could instantly pick out the Maiden albums.

(Ash, you need to upload your avatar again.)

[ashman]

I keep forgetting to do it, I've done it now.

I thought the DoD eddie was one of the worst (except for FOTD, that one was a travesty).

[Riva]

No kidding. It looks cool on my shirt, but the actual album cover looks completely amateurish. Like something a local band would release.

[AB/CD]

i dont mind the new cover it doesnt look much like a maiden cover more like death metal or something but still looks kinda cool

[GurS]

Derek did the sky for the BNW cover (the giant floating eddie head), but a different artist did the lower half. He also did the artwork for Real Live and Real Dead ones

[GurS]

So, I've officially made the best Maiden mix CD EVER


My mate's heard a few Maiden songs, he likes what he's heard but wants to get to know more of their stuff. With this in mind, I made a CD that showcases all the different styles of Maiden.

With this in mind: tracklist

1. The Wicker Man
2. Killers
3. Can I Play With Madness?
4. Purgatory
5. Aces High
6. Out Of The Silent Planet
7. Blood Brothers
8. Paschendale
9. Sign Of The Cross
10. Where Eagles Dare
11. Powerslave
12. To Tame A Land


so, what do ya'll think?

[peddlerofdeath]

You have to get Painkiller on there.

[Lord Abortion]

gur, you missed out hallowed, I would stick rime and maybe still life on there too
maybe rime in place of to tame a land as it has a sort of similar feel...
I would at least put it up to the similar track amount as edward the great which is supposed to do a similar thing
more prog-era maiden style stuff too

[ashman]

You have to get Painkiller on there.
:evil:

[Lord Abortion]

actually I just ignored it because I don't feel in a hate mood today, just e-slap him, give him a copy of POM, X-factor and seventh son and tell him come back later when he can behave

[Thunder Fingers]

So, I've officially made the best Maiden mix CD EVER


My mate's heard a few Maiden songs, he likes what he's heard but wants to get to know more of their stuff. With this in mind, I made a CD that showcases all the different styles of Maiden.

With this in mind: tracklist

1. The Wicker Man
2. Killers
3. Can I Play With Madness?
4. Purgatory
5. Aces High
6. Out Of The Silent Planet
7. Blood Brothers
8. Paschendale
9. Sign Of The Cross
10. Where Eagles Dare
11. Powerslave
12. To Tame A Land


so, what do ya'll think?

thats great... but when you gonna "make" the drums? :p

[ashman]

thats great... but when you gonna "make" the drums? :p

He's done them, except for Rime. He recorded them on his PC that doesn't have the internet though.

[GurS]

that's done (with the exception of Rime)... the only problem is getting them onto a computer with internet :upset: I should be picking up a memory stick sometime next week, which will solve the problem.

what about The Number of the Beast? might be the same style as a couple of those, but cmon, what a kickass track.

and as for the new eddie - i hate his look. i much preferred trooper-style Eddie to X-Factor-style eddie.

It needs Flash of the Blade, dude... :D

[GurS]

mayhaps.... but note this: it was perfect. i mean, there is 0 seconds left on the cd - the songs are EXACTLY the length of the capacity of the CD

:eek: 'tis witchcraft

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Awesome! Can't get any better than that; I hate taking important songs off because there isn't any room. :angry:

[GurS]

i wanted to put on Wasted Years, but not enough room, i had 3:20 left; then i realised, that purgatory was EXACTLY 3:20, so i threw it on there.

[vocman]

I don't like maiden very much, but the cause of this is mr dickinson.I like the songs right up to the point where he starts singing. Does their first vocalist sing in the same kinda way? otherwise? I'll check out their old stuff

thx in advance

[Thunder Fingers]

Both Di'annio and baley have very different voices from bruce...

[GurS]

sings very different - his voice is far more "gruff" and punky, and hence gave Maiden a more rough and punky feel. Check out "Running Free", "Killers" and "Sanctuary".

I think both singers have their merits - Di'Anno wouldn't have fit the latter Maiden songs as well as Dicinson, and vice versa

how strange, anyway check out iron maiden, killers, x-factor and virtual XI they dont contain bruce

[vocman]

ok, thanks (btw, there are a few songs with bruce I kinda like: fear of the dark is awesome...)

[Thunder Fingers]

ofcourse its fear of the dark.. the other one is run to the hills right? :lol:

[vocman]

no, it is 2 minutes to midnight, actually (is this the kinda thing where the real fans think fear of the dark is some of the worst? if this the case, excuse me for my n00bness :))

no, but its the standard songs that people go!

I would, but he's heard most of the kinda standard songs - RTTH, NOTB, HBTN, FOTD, etc etc. Personally, I reckon that if I were to take out Can I Play With Madness? and The Wicker Man, and replaced them with POTO, it would be the perfect accompaniament to Edward The Great

[vocman]

no, but its the standard songs that people go!

"Im such a Maiden Fan, I havent Heard anything else, but fear of the dark and run to the hills are amazing!"

ooww, I see. It is the 'nothing else matters/st anger' effect :)

How can you get someone into Maiden if they don't hear The Trooper?? :evil:

[GurS]

he's heard it before, and likes it.. he's heard most of the trademark tunes, this is meant to be expanding his maiden taste

[YDload]

Oh I see, I should have read more carefully. :(

[Lord Abortion]

ah, the standard songs,
that would be any that have had a video on kerrang then yes?

as bruce said" so MTV have discovered Iron maiden, well whoop-de -****ing-do"

[the_uber_penguin]

I was watching our fortunately named Andy take over from Tim Henman as UK favourite tennis player.

Some of his antics between points made him look very much like he was originally a rock star.

Any relation to a certain Dave, I wonder?

EDIT: snyp'd :cool: ... or not

[Lord Abortion]

indeed, it would be amusing if he won wimbledon this year, he may be related, but is scottish, so...

[crag]

woo moan the scots!!!

NP- back in the village
i havent heard this song in ages

[Thunder Fingers]

YDLOAD! where did the polls go?!

yeh, good point...need to make sure harris wins.

got a real live dead on yesterday Bruce murders all diannos songs his ****e at them all apart from iron maiden and sanctuary

[shadow_stalker]

I think Bruce sounds better singing them (except prowler), too bad the sound quality on that album is bad. :upset:

I may will get flamed for this but am i the only one that thinks that the songs 'Iron Maiden' and 'Sanctuary' are pretty poor songs? (when i say poor i mean poor by maiden standards)

[YDload]

Nah, they're ok but really different than most other Maiden songs. "Iron Maiden" doesn't have any real guitar solos, and "Sanctuary" sounds more like a KISS song.

Anyway, has anyone (preferrably from the US) ever heard Maiden on the radio before? I haven't.

I've only heard them 3 times on the Radio. I heard Wildest Dreams and No More lies (A really shortened version) on Kerrang Radio. And I heard the Run to the Hills Re-release on the Charts.

I've heard Die With Your Boots On and Aces High on the radio as well. I think I've heard Rainmaker a few times too.

[YDload]

The Polls?

Ugh, I hate doing work!! I have to figure out who goes through and who I have to replace that jerk Mike Dirnt with :( :(

[Thunder Fingers]

why you have to replace mike dirnt?


use Jari! :p

[Lord Abortion]

when bruce was interviewed on radio 2 before the DoD tour, they played CIPWM and rainmaker

[YDload]

why you have to replace mike dirnt?


use Jari! :p

Because Mike Dirnt sucks. Well, not really, but compared to the rest of the really deserving ones I think he does.

[Thunder Fingers]

:lol: you cant change him, people will start to complain... JARI!



:mad:

[YDload]

:lol: you cant change him, people will start to complain... JARI!



:mad:

No really, he's not even in a pop-punk band at this point; they're just pop. Is that really a valid genre for this competition? I mean, I was stretching it when I let punk and pop-punk bassists on, but this is a little too much.

[Thunder Fingers]

ok...

Jari...

i heard cotd when bruce was doing his show on radio 2

[Josh]

i've only heard Maiden on radio twice (in the UK) - a day or so before i went to see them on DoD tour, radio 2 did a competition to win tickets to one of the scottish gigs, and fly there on Bruce Air. and in january, radio 1 played NOTB when it came into the charts at number 3 (i think it was #3 anyway)

[GurS]

the only station i listen to on the radio is classic FM :upset: so no maiden there...

[Josh]

why classic FM?

[crag]

and in january, radio 1 played NOTB when it came into the charts at number 3 (i think it was #3 anyway)
those were a good few weeks

[Josh]

yeh...my sister got into the car and put the radio on when it was the chart show, it was right at the solos :D she didn't know what it was til it finished, if i'd told her it was maiden she'd have turned the radio off again.

[Lord Abortion]

I don't care about maiden being on the radio...

it was nice to see them in the charts though- there are some sane people left in England at least
