i heard that one of the songs from brave new world was written for the blaze vocal stylings anyone know which one?

so far i know that it cant be wicker man, gotn, bnw, fallen angel or out of the silent planet because they have bruce and H credits on them

Maybe Blood Brothers, or Mercenary.

[Josh]

i doubt blood brothers was written for Blaze's voice, i just can't imagine him singing it. possibly The Nomad, or the mercenary?

60 days....

[Lord Abortion]

possibly ghost of the navigator to my mind

[Thunder Fingers]

how we can figure how blood brothers was written for Blaze or not, when did steves dad die?

[vashts80]

It's one of these:

Blood Brothers
The Mercenary
Dream of Mirrors
The Nomad
The Thin Line Between Love and Hate

I'm willing to bet that it was TTLBLAH or Dream of Mirrors (DoM, imo, is written simillarily to The Clansman)

[Josh]

dream of mirrors sound most Blaze-like i suppose...it follows on from the longer songs that they started to write with Blaze: the Clansman, the angel and the gambler, don't look to the eyes of a stranger, sign of the cross, the unbeliever.

I can hear Blaze singing The Mercenary for some reason.

Wow...never give a bird (especially penguins) alcohol!

Dave only plays Fenders live nowadays, though he used to play a Jackson every now and then. Dave when recording uses a lot of different guitars, not just Fenders. Adrian changes all the 'kin time, his best was the Lado Earth...

Get a tattoo of the Eddie from the Trooper promo

[Josh]

get the 666 logo, or the Trooper.

Following their recent stunning live performance at Prague's T Mobile Arena, Iron Maiden see no less than 13 albums re-enter the official Czech Top 80 Album chart :-

17 Live at Donington
26 The Number Of The Beast
33 Real Live Dead One
36 Piece of Mind
37 Fear Of The Dark
38 Somewhere In Time
39 Edward The Great
40 Powerslave
42 Seventh Son of A Seventh Son
46 Killers
50 Brave New World
59 Iron Maiden
70 X Factor

i thought that was quite impressive.

I would say go for Brave New World, Rock in Rio or Fear of the dark (3 of my favourite Maiden albums)

[vashts80]

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son or Piece of Mind, definitely.

[AB/CD]

killers, seventh son of a seventh son and virtual XI

[the_uber_penguin]

I'd say either Rock In Rio, or Dance Of Death...or wait until Death On The Road comes out, because that has an awesome track listing

[shadow_stalker]

or wait until Death On The Road comes out, because that has an awesome track listing

How long until that is out?

[the_uber_penguin]

August 29th. It IS worth the wait, though.

That is a long time, i would get albums inbetween.

I still havnt got round to buying early days (i've been putting it off since it came out)

[Arucard]

/wanders off to MXtabs, to find maiden tabs.

[Riva]

Im a noob to Maiden but i really like there sound, so any suggestions on the best album of theres to buy?

Get Rock In Rio for the awesome setlist, and see if you like it. Then pick the albums which feature the songs you liked the most, and go from there. :)

[Josh]

Get Rock In Rio for the awesome setlist, and see if you like it. Then pick the albums which feature the songs you liked the most, and go from there. :)
the only problem with that is that that IMO the Di'anno and Blaze songs sound better at Rock in Rio than on the albums, although that album is a good way to get into Maiden.

i would recommend: Powerslave, Number of the Beast, Somewhere in Time, seventh son of a seventh son and piece of mind as the 5 albums to get first.
NP: Fortunes of war.

[hallowed_ironmaiden]

In my opinion, I would get Live After Death. I think it is their best setlist and sound quality on a live album

[ashman]

Ugh...I was listening to the Dream Theaters version of NOTB (the whole album), and I came to the realisation, they suck!

That's pretty cool, only things I'd suggest to you are:

Use your neck pickup, it sounds more meaty. If you are using your Neck Pickup, play around with your tone knobs until it sounds less tinny.

There's a tad too much reverb for my taste, it sounds too weird.

Good job with everything else, I find BNW a particularly hard song to play, especially the solos. I'm impressed. :thumb:

get rock in rio or live after death, great setlists

for studio get- x-factor, POM or seventh son

oh and titch, I REALLY need to talk to you about rehearsal. get your arse off World of warcraft and onto MSN more...

[Lord of Sword]

my favourite live album by them is the Beast Over Hammersmith. best live sound of any of their albums, bruce is much better than he was on live after death, only problem with it is that it has a setlist limited to the first 3 albums, notb hadn't been released at that point so there's not one person shouting along with the title track intro or singing along to run to the hills. and also, as far as i know you can only get it with the eddie's archives which costs around £100, if they even sell it anymore. but you do get the b-sides and bbc tapes aswell.

[ashman]

Apparently with the Beast over Hammersmith album, there were problems with the sound and the Band weren't too happy about it, that being the reason why they haven't released the full concert on DVD or video...

[AB/CD]

well its been released on the early days

so i guess you guys have heard what nicko said in some french magazine that the new album will be released next year and that it will be concept
so what do you expect from it?
to be honest i dont expect any change in sound, maybe one or two slower songs like journeyman
what i would like to see however is if its gonna be a concept album i would like to see songs being linked together with more than just a story
i would like to see continous music
one songs continues where the previous one ended

and true most chrouses are repetive however you dont get the repetive feeling on many of the songs
its all about how the vocal sings it

[Lord Abortion]

tha trooper chorus goes "aaaaaaaahahahaaaaaaaaaahaaa"
I don't know whether you've ever heard it? :rolleyes:

sorry, anyway, the songs released in the early 90's albums have alot of a stadium rock feel, IE bring your daughter, from here to eternity and so on, that reflected alot of the sound at the time really visible on live at donny

sorry, anyway, the songs released in the early 90's albums have alot of a stadium rock feel, IE bring your daughter, from here to eternity and so on, that reflected alot of the sound at the time really visible on live at donnywell i wouldnt really call aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahaha chorus ;)
its just a sound bruce makes
**** its not even listed in a booklet as a lyric

[crag]

well i wouldnt really call aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahaha chorus ;)

**** its not even listed in a booklet as a lyric
choruses are not based on lyrics they are merely the focal point in a song (me thinks)

[MaidenMadness]

imo for something to be chorus it has to have a meaning
lyrics that will hold the entire meaning of the song in them
and aaaaaaaaaahahahahaaaa doesnt have a meaning
anyway thats just the way i feel about the subject

[crag]

what about instrumentals

[MaidenMadness]

well instrumentals cant have chorus's cause they have no lyrics
listen to lets say careful with that axe eugene by pink floyd
you cant say it has a chorus
imo its not the same thing if a part of music repeats itself and if part of lyrics keeps repeating itself

[Lord Abortion]

um, OK my mention of the trooper thing was irony, but OK :)

it does have a meaning I think, certainly when It follows verse 3- "without a tear I draw my parting groan" it seems to follow that theme

[AB/CD]

could be recreating what many people in the light brigade were doing

[YDload]

Of course the non-verbal singing thing can be a chorus. Especially if it's "The Trooper" we're talking about.

Anyway, today I finally heard an Iron Maiden song on the radio! It was nothing special, just "Run to the Hills," but it was the first time I can ever remember hearing them on the air.

I win the argument

bah, this radio thing isn't such a good invention after all

[the_uber_penguin]

So they're only playing stuff from their first four albums at Reading. Slightly annoying, because I won't hear Paschendale, No More Lies, Blood Brother or The Wicker Man (or anything from the Blaze period.)

On the plus side, Sanctuary, Iron Maiden, Run To The Hills, Children of The ****ed, Hallowed Be Thy Name and Number Of The Beast will almost certainly feature, along with other cool stuff like Phantom Of The Opera and The Prisoner.

It's not the full concert, it's a double CD in the archives. There are only about 7 or 8 songs on the Early Days.

children of the damned and the prisoner aren't on the setlist. and they dropped charlotte the harlot and replaced it with Wrathchild :upset:

yeh, the full version. revelations, die with you boots on, drifter, etc are on.

that is the song I'm most looking forward to I think

[Josh]

if you go on this (www.ironmaiden.org) site there's setlists posted, go in Maiden talk and then the Early days tour forum.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

that is the song I'm most looking forward to I think

it drags on to much, if they chopped the interlude in half it would be more enjoyable...im really looking forward to hearing Drifter live though :)

[crag]

the firing bullet noises annoy me in where eagles dare. i hope they take them out when they play live.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Im excited for when they tour for the second half of their Iron Maiden Years, being Powerslave to....im guessing they'd either cut if off after Adrian left or after Bruce left.

nice, i figured that would be that one. After Adrian left it was a "dark age" for the band that ended in 99' when Bruce and H returned, thank Eddie for that!!!! Ill love the second installment of this series, Somewhere in Time is my absoulte favourite by a landslide.

i dont think so
this was up to piece of mind right?
so then the next would only be powerslave & seventh son
doesnt seem right to me
at this time they were a big band so there's probably more of their recordings that there was @ early days
i'm thinking the next dvd might be up until fear of the dark
i mean bruce's leaving the band had bigger impact that adrian's so i think thats what is gonna be the next phase

[Lord Abortion]

<------------ Chicago show i am so there...my third Maiden show, hell ive seen them twice now in Chicago and only once in me hometown of St.Louis :rolleyes: Im sick of driving Harris!! haha
Leeds will be my second maiden gig

I always feel sorry for blaze, he is a magnificent vocalist but people dislike him for little or no reason, X-factor is certainly my second favourite maiden album after piece of mind

[AB/CD]

virtual XI is my fave maiden album. its really jsut all the bruce fanboys who hate blaze cos they all think maiden is about run to the hills and number of the beast

[crag]

most of them probably don't even know who blaze is

Blaze is by far the best singer they had Bruce is good for igh notes and ****e but Blaze just has the beter stage presence I think

it'll be good if they include a complete world slavery show on the DVD. i might actually get the Early Days this summer as well.

[MaidenMadness]

virtual XI is my fave maiden album. its really jsut all the bruce fanboys who hate blaze cos they all think maiden is about run to the hills and number of the beastblaze has a great voice however his time with maiden was set to be doomed before it even started
as good as he is he's no bruce
he did ****ty job singing most of bruce era songs
his era did create some of my fave songs like lord of the flies & the clansman, sign of the cross...
however at those stage albums had way too many fillers. i dont think it was his fault
fear of the dark had many fillers in it
virtual xi & the x factor had fillers in them
and to be honest dod and bnw have fillers on them but thats not the point
now we know who writes most of iron maiden's stuff - steve harris
so you cant just punish steve for his lack of inspiration which lead to these fillers. if you kick steve out - no more maiden
its always easier to blame the new guy
when you add the fact that he slaughtered bruce era songs there you have it imo the reason why blaze had to go
bruce maybe brought in some fresh dose of isnpiration but things practically remained the same
only now they can tour and get money out of that and not focus so much on writting new stuff
steve lacks inspiration and he was never too fond of bruce's writting

[Lord Abortion]

X-factor has no filler tracks, name one IYO

[AB/CD]

virtual XI didnt have any really Paul Dianno>every maiden song Bruce Dickinson>only his songs Blaze>his and Diannos

Bruce isnt that great he cant do the songs that dianno and Blaze did

[Lord Abortion]

I like bruce the best but also love the stuff blaze does now and did in maiden, he is fantastic, if you think he sucks live, try "as live as it gets" and be proved massively wrong

[AB/CD]

only clip ive seen of Blaze is the 1 when hes been spat on and i think the main reason he ruined trooper completely is becos he was pissed off and wasnt concentrating properly btu he also can get the very high notes anyway

[Lord Abortion]

only clip ive seen of Blaze is the 1 when hes been spat on and i think the main reason he ruined trooper completely is becos he was pissed off and wasnt concentrating properly btu he also can get the very high notes anyway
that's a VERY bad example of blaze live, a poor representation of his live excellence

[AB/CD]

yeah i no thats what I was pointing out I would love to see him live becos I loved his two albums with maiden compared to half of Bruces

[Artemician]

I'm surprised all the Bruce Dickinson fans haven't rushed in and flamed everybody yet. Nice to see that people are at least somewhat understanding of others opinions. I like Bruce the best myself, but I respect Blaze for stepping in when he knew that most of fans of Bruce Dickinson would never let him live it down.

[AB/CD]

i reckon Blaze done it more to be able to say "yeah I sang for Maiden more than you have done" u no what i mean

[the_uber_penguin]

Bruce isnt that great he cant do the songs that dianno and Blaze did

I don't know - he does very good versions of Sanctuary, Sign Of The Cross, The Clansman and Wraithchild on RiR.

[Lord Abortion]

I don't know - he does very good versions of Sanctuary, Sign Of The Cross, The Clansman and Wraithchild on RiR.
indeed, but they are written for different voices, the Dianno ones he is better at because obviously he has more practice, you only hear bruce sing three or four Blaze-era songs(he did an excellent version of lord of the flies last year.)

[crag]

the only song i've heard Bruce be bad at is prowler
as for Blaze the only time i've heard him live is the unfortunate spitting incident so i know he can do much better

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

I like bruce the best but also love the stuff blaze does now and did in maiden, he is fantastic, if you think he sucks live, try "as live as it gets" and be proved massively wrong

Blayze...ive tried for almost 6 years now to enjoy those two albums and only a handful of songs stick out to me. Its not just him, its the entire band. The era i think was just unoriginal and the entire group did not play at their best. Davey's leads wernt as wonderful (on BNW and DOD though hes ripping!) and Steve repeated old bass lines over and over, just wasnt anything unique about them. Blayze and Janick wrote alot together, and Janick's gift to the band is his rhythem guitar and riff writing (his leads however....welll lol) and i think Steve was burnt out of ideas and refused to let Maiden die even if it meant being a subpar version of what it had been. Blayze had to low a register to be a Maiden vocalist, although he put all he had into the group...it really shows how Maiden isnt Maiden without Bruce and Adrian.

[Josh]

Adrian is an amazing songwriter, he wrote half of 7th son on his own i think.

[crag]

Yeah...I remember after being used to the RiR version of The Clansman, hearing the album version. Blazes voice just didn't have anything behind it on the "No! No we can't let them take anymore!" bit, whereas thats the highlight of the song for me on the RiR version.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

I am hte official Somewhere in Time fan haha, thats my favourite too!! My favourtire Maiden track is Heaven Can Wait...probley becuase i such a power metal bard :) haha

[Josh]

lol, my all-time favourite Maiden song is Blood Brothers, the intro makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

cant go wrong with anything from Brave New World, my second fav album :) and wow...Janick had a really killer lead in it for once :thumb: lol

[Josh]

and Janick's last solo is just amazing, all the emotion thats poured into it.

/yawns.

well, off to bed it is then. bye all.

I honestly don't rate virtual xi as highly, but X-factor is in my top 3 maiden albums, I see every track on there as killer even just for the brilliant blaze bits... "I'm just a soldier!"

I've heard that Iron Maiden may come to Hammersmith on the 2nd of September - not on the site yet, but yeah!!

[Josh]

they're playing a gig on the 2nd to raise money for Clive Burr i think.
Iron Maiden play special fund raising gig for former drummer Clive Burr


In 2002 the members of Iron Maiden were shocked to learn that their former drummer, Clive Burr was suffering from MS. They played three nights in March at Brixton Academy in his honour, donating the £250,000 plus profits from the concerts and merchandising into a newly formed Clive Burr Multiple Sclerosis Trust Fund. The fund also received generous donations from the record company EMI and publisher BMG Music from the commercial single releases of Run To The Hills and Number of The Beast (which leapt into the UK charts at No 3 earlier this year). There were kind donations from all over the world of Heavy Metal, and tremendous support from the fans through numerous fund raising initiatives and very generous individual contributions.

Three years on, the money raised has helped enormously to provide treatment and support and to improve the quality of Clive’s life. For example: the Trust has helped Clive to secure his house, funded specialist treatments in this country and with experts in Europe and the USA, has provided specialised equipment, assisted with transport and travel and helped Clive with his living expenses.

The Trust was also able to help some other MS sufferers who have long standing connections with the band by assisting with the provision of vehicles specially adapted to carry wheelchairs.

The Clive Burr MS Fund needs replenishing if it is to continue to ease and improve the quality of Clive’s life, and others. To help do this, Iron Maiden will stage a very special benefit performance at Hammersmith Odeon on Friday 2nd September. The show, featuring songs from their first four albums (Iron Maiden, Killers, The Number Of The Beast and Piece of Mind) will by then have toured Europe and North America playing to almost one million delighted fans and this will be the final date of the tour and the very last time some of the songs in the set will played live by the band.

All the profits from the show and the Merchandising will be donated to the Trust and can then lift the fund back into action. All tickets will be £40 – and there will be no comps – not even for band families or management!!

Manager, Rod Smallwood commented “We think our fans will fully understand the need to charge a slightly higher price for this special gig – there are many things the Trust needs to do such as modifications to Clive’s house to improve wheelchair access that would make Clive more comfortable. We were really pleased that Hammersmith Apollo was available as the band have a lot of history there and great memories. It’s a terrific venue to play from a fan’s perspective and will be huge contrast from our Headline appearance at the massive Reading Festival on Sunday 28th August. We just hope they will reopen the old backstage bar! The first time we played Hammersmith Odeon (as it was previously known) was on 14th March 1980 supporting Judas Priest just before the first album came out. The first headline appearance was during the ‘Killers’ tour in 1981, and of course Clive was with us on those occasions. In total we have played there 21 times including a succession of 6 sold out shows during the 1986 ‘Somewhere on Tour’. So it’s a very appropriate place to play a gig for Clive and to end a tour based on our first four albums. ”

14th, 15th Mar 1980 Judas Priest British Steel tour
15th Mar 1981 Killers UK Tour
20th Mar 1982 Beast On The Road tour
25th,26th,27th,28th May 1983 World Piece tour
8th ,9th ,10th ,12th October 1984 World Slavery tour
3rd,4th,5th,7th,8th*, Nov 1986 Somewhere on tour
*plus a matinee performance in aid of National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
6th,7th,12th Dec 1988 Seventh tour of a Seventh tour
18th Oct 1990 UK Intercity Express tour

Tickets, priced £40 will be offered to current fan club members first, and a special application form has today been sent by post directly to all members of the official Fan Club, IRON MAIDEN FC. Any remaining tickets will then go on sale to the public Monday 1st August through normal box office channels. Due to the large number of members of IRON MAIDEN FC to be fair we are limiting it to 2 tickets only per member on a first-come first- served basis.

Dammit, YSI is slow.

On the topic of Covers, my Band need a Maiden song to cover. I don't know which one to do as there are so many kick arse ones. I just need one song that hasn't been covered before and is very death metally....I don't know which ones to do :confused:

EDIT: That 22 Acacia Avenue is kinda funky...

Fear of the Dark has a couple VERY outstanding tracks (Fear of the Dark, Afraid to Shoot Strangers, etc.,) , but the rest is quite mediocre
