Iron Maiden

[-The Frank]

15 songs is way to little to do...
There's so many amazing ones, 30 might be more accurate.

30's still too little for me :p

[Scr4tch]

IF you look at the cover of the single for 2 minutes to midnight, you will see 9 flags. These flags are , the US, afghanistan, iran, iraq, cuba, USSR, Argentina, UK, and Isreal. They are not there by accident. At the time all of these countrys were in "war". The USSr had invaded afghanistan in 79' but only started to pull troops out in 88'. Iran and Iraq were at war with each other. Cuba was engaged in a conflict with Angola. And the US as well as the UK and USSr were guility ( and stilla are ) of delivering major weapons around the world. And, israel was still in war at the time. The whole concept of this song is about war and destruction, therefore all these war-mohnger countrys were put on the sleeve.

But, the cold war was the biggest theme of em all for this song. Aswell as the guy before me said about the doomsday clock.

ooh.. i nvr saw the singles cover b4

[crag]

so guys, what do you think is the best album artwork of Maidens?
for me it would probably be Somwhere In Time because of all the hidden things in it

[Lord Abortion]

I like X-Factor's, the inside artwork, that is.
Actually, Bruce's new album artwork is superb.

[EdwardTheGreat]

Somewhere In Time for me as well. Although I do like Powerslave, and Death On The Roads artwork is pretty cool. The T-shirts in the post cant wait, that should look good. Seventh Son and Live After Death are good as well. And the Trooper artwork.

[Lord Abortion]

Oh that was awesome...

two more tracks

/melts

[Josh]

**the trooper ends**

Bruce: "well, that rocked didn't it." :lol:

[Lord Abortion]

OMG...that was the greatest song radio one will ever play.
That's the greatest song ever written

[crag]

ah

the trooper
run to the hills
and hallowed be thy name

never has a radio station had such a great three songs

[clairvoyant]

Best Maiden artwork = Powerslave

so much detail

[GurS]

maiden rocked Radio One crazy stylee.

i think Seventh Son is probably the best/most memorable album cover.

Yeah, I really like seventh son's art.

[the_uber_penguin]

The Number Of The Beast album artwork is pretty cool. Philosophical.

Of course, the Women In Uniform and Sanctuary sleeves were pretty cool too.

[Queeter]

The Number Of The Beast album artwork is pretty cool. Philosophical.
That's my favorite, but what does it mean? I've always thought it means Eddie controls Satan, Satan controls man.

[Deth]

SSOASS or SIT have the best artwork methinks.

Though Iced Earth own Maiden in artwork catergory.

[-The Frank]

The live after death artwork always amazed me. I just love the contrast between the yellow and blue.Tis magnificent

[the_uber_penguin]

The RiR artwork kicks pretty hard butt...especially with the holographic cover. Spooky.

[-The Frank]

123

[Lord Abortion]

That's my favorite, but what does it mean? I've always thought it means Eddie controls Satan, Satan controls man.
Steve said he likes it because of the ambiguity of who controls who, as Eddie controls satan, but satan controls a little eddie.

It's annoying that you can tell that they edited out songs though.

I love the Piece Of Mind show (can't remember where it was).

[-The Frank]

i think it was at dortmund

[Deth]

That sounds right. Revelations owns that show.

[-The Frank]

They didnt play revelations when i went to see them on the early days tour :( :( :( :(

[Deth]

I would have thought Revelations would be a given.

[-The Frank]

they didnt play much of the piece of mind album...i was dissapointed

[Deth]

That sucks.

well...it isn't any more, since Death on the Road was released...

[andyhainey]

you should've got it, i got RiR and most of BNW is on that, but i then i got poweslave, ironmaiden and tnen BNW, but i think BNW is a very good album, so you should have gotten it.

[Surtr]

BNW is an amazing album, absaloutly every song on it is ace. The next best album in my opinion would probably be The Number Of The Beast. Outa the live albums RiR and Death On The Road are the best.

I love the introduction before Paschendale on Death On The Road.

[-The Frank]

change number of the beast to powerslave or killers then you will be rockin

[andyhainey]

i think poweslave is the best, rhime of the ancient mariner, what a song :thumb:

[-The Frank]

^^^just learnt powerslave on bass

[crag]

My favorite Maiden album (see avatar) followed by Peice of Mind.

[andyhainey]

sorry, dont cry about it, what i shoud've said was best of the beast or alaxander the great

[dr._feelgood]

I just got Powerslave yesterday, what an extraordinary album. :D

[classicrockman]

'Iron Maiden' is my favorite album. It's just so...raw. I loved how they combined a fusion of classic rock and punk.

'Number of the Beast' and 'Powerslave' are my next favorites.

[crag]

BNW or Somewhere in time are probs my favourites

[Queeter]

I like Powerslave the best. Number of the Beast also has a lot of classics on it though Children of the ****ed, The Prisoner, The Number of the Beast, Run to the Hills, and Hallowed be thy Name. Tied with Number of the Beast for me would be Iron Maiden. Iron Maiden, Prowler, Phantom of the Opera are all awesome.

[Artemician]

Powerslave for me. The title track is my favorite Maiden song.

I agree its overrated, but people disregard it because of that. It has some great songs as do all their albums.

[Artemician]

Yeah, Number of the Beast wasn't near as amazing as some people put it out to be.

[GenuineImitation]

Yeah, Number of the Beast wasn't near as amazing as some people put it out to be.


It is a great album, but I agree with you. Some people blow the album out of proportion.

[andyhainey]

i know, if only they could see the true greatness of maiden

[Queeter]

I've never liked Killers that much. I don't know why. Its not bad at all I just like the other albums better. I don't like that many Piece of Mind songs either except the trooper.

[Deth]

I really like Piece Of Mind, but I think it's overrated as well. Sun And Steel and Quest For Fire are just weak, and To Tame A Land, IMO, is the weakest "epic" Maiden''s written (besides the Nomad).

[-The Frank]

i'm not to fond of No Prayer For The Dying

NO prayer for the dying has so many great tracks

tailgunner
public enema number1
bring your daughter to the slaughter
holy smoke
hooks in you
the assasin


its actually one of my favorite maiden albums :p

[Doctor Night]

well...it isn't any more, since Death on the Road was released...

Abd thats another Greatest Hits type album
amarite?

[crag]

Abd thats another Greatest Hits type album
amarite?
no, its a live album

[Lord Abortion]

i'm not to fond of No Prayer For The Dying
Me neither, it's by far their weakest album IMO

[-The Frank]

^ for me the weakest maiden album would either pick virtual xi or fear of the dark

[Lord Abortion]

I think they arew also pretty weak comparitively...but I just don't like NPFTD that much, bar Tailgunner and The assassin.

[-The Frank]

i dont know, bring your daughter and public enema are sooo good that the whole album goes up in my rankings

[DimebagDarrell]

the actual song npftd is brillaint i quite like the album its not their worst but its not the best either.

[-The Frank]

123

[crag]

out of NPFTD i like Tailgunner (by far the best song on that album), Holy Smoke, title track and BYDTTS. the rest are just meh.

[clairvoyant]

I like the middle section of Tailgunner, Mother Russia, and The Assasin but thats about it.

I'm with you on Piece of Mind. It gets the fewest plays out of the Maiden Albums I own.
I also think that Somewhere in Time is slightly underrated.

NP-Alexander the Great. :D

[Lord Abortion]

I actually dislike the TT on no prayer alot, it's too long winded and dragged out for me.

[ashman]

NPFD is great, the title track is excellent. Though it doesn't flow as much as most Maiden Songs do...

I listen to mainly death metal like Cryptopsy, Nile, Skinless, In Flames, Fear Factory, Psychotogen and Soilwork. I wanna hear some Iron Maiden songs, but I dont know many. Can you recommend some?

I've heard:
Number of the Beast
Run to the Hills
Rainmaker
Personally I like "fear of the dark (live version) " on the best of the beast cd that one is awsome

[PepsiMetal]

Fear Factory isn't death metal. lol. They're industrial.

Good maiden songs:
Aces High
The Trooper
Wasted Years
Powerslave
Mother Russia
No more lies
Brave New World
2 Minutes To midnight
Invaders is also pretty good

[DimebagDarrell]

Pascendale is probably one of their most underated songs its absolutely brillaint.

Does anyone here prefer Paul to Bruce?

[the_uber_penguin]

I do, I prefer Paul's original recordings to Bruce's version of most of them.

It's wierd, as much as I prefer Paul on those albums, everything after that just wouldn't have worked with Paul. He was fired/quit at just the right time.

[superpeer]

Enjoy the new name. :)

[YDload]

Hey thanks Jelly.

I don't so much prefer the singing of Paul over Bruce, but I happen to like the songs on Killers more than any other album. Even though Di'Anno greatly improved between those two albums he was on, he was still sounding too much like Halford to me. Iron Maiden needed to separate itself more from Judas Priest, and Steve's insane bass playing just wouldn't be enough for the casual listener (who only pays attention to singing and guitar solos).

[FlyingPaul_83]

nice thread name guys :thumb:

Murders in the rue morgue is a such a good song. Killers is such a great album.

I find Maiden much better than Priest. But I also notice the bass. :upset:

I did that the other day. I still need to work on it though. I don't even bother attempting Iron Maiden solos.

Agreed, my band is covering that song, it's soo fun to play. Great Tune.

While I would agree, Priest is still criminally underrated and only remembered for the mediocre stuff like Breaking the Law.

[blockheads dead]

What do you guys think the best live Maiden album is? I vote Live after Death.

[heavy metal kid]

Rock in Rio

[Deth]

I only have LAD, so my vote goes to that, but I will be picking up Death On The Road.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, Painkiller is my favourite Priest album.

My favourite maiden live album is probably RiR...
But it's all good.

IMO bruce sounded more like halford, paul had more of a raspy raw sound to his voice. Also, i agree with a person above me. PAul did quit at the right time, he maybe could have gone with maybe one more album but he wasnt very versitile and was very limited in his singing. Where as bruce could sing anything, he could sound rasypy ( no prayer, fear of the dark) or he could sing opera like voice ( seventh son, somewhere in time, brave new world)

that being said, i still love killers and iron maiden. Those albums are probaly my top 2 maiden albums.

NP: twilight zone

anyway, im gonna do what cragmaiden did and ask you guys what maiden songs i should learn, me play bass

cheers

[the_uber_penguin]

Paul was killing himself with trying to keep up with the touring schedule, though. He just wasn't cut out to be as big as Iron Maiden now are.

[-The Frank]

yah, but then again bruce ended up being professionally trained so he could learn how to keep his voice up on tour

[DimebagDarrell]

Bruce is a better singer but he cant do the paul stuff as good e.g. remember tomorrow on a real live dead one

[-The Frank]

yah but bruce could have done some of pauls stuff if he kept practicing his singing style in no prayer for the dying and fear of the dark. He had a nice raspy tone in those


me need new songs

Bruce's screams at the end of The RLDO version are excellent IMO...
he does it as well if not better than Paul.

Bruce>Blaze>paul.

[Josh]

i thought Bruce did really well on the songs from the first 2 albums they did at leeds (drifter, murders in the rue morgue, prowler, another life, remember tomorrow, running free, sanctuary, phantom, and whatever i've missed out). i hadn't heard Bruce any of Paul's songs before, except what's on RiR.

[the_uber_penguin]

Yes...

I've said before, but Bruce's version of Remember Tomorrow at Reading this year completely pwned the album version. I always thought it was mediocre until then.

[Dannyboy15]

for me. Bruce > Paul >>>>>>>>>>Blaze

[Deth]

Have you seen him live? It's like God in a metal band.

[Mizuzack]
