wow, spamfest eh? i find it hard to pick bad tracks off most albums, especially SiT cos i love that one, and BNW cos it's my favourite.

[Doctor Night]

What's you guys' opinion on 'Dance of Death'. My friend says it's really dull.

Has anyone else noticed the cat with the halo and the grim reaper on a lot of the Iron Maiden covers? The cat can be seen on the far right side on the rooftop on Killers, although it doesn't seem to have a halo yet. The grim reaper can be seen on the back cover of Powerslave on the left side. The grim reaper is in the clouds near the moon on the back of Live After Death and the cat is on the ground next to the tombstone with the rose(you have to look at the back of the cd booklet to see this one). The cat appears between Eddie's legs and the reaper is near the pyramids(back of cd booklet). These are the only apperances of these strange character's I've been able to find so far, but I'll keep looking.

Some other interesting cover details: The piece of metal holding Eddie's head closed on Piece of Mind is present on all album covers afterward. Bruce is holding Eddie's brain on Somewhere in Time and the pyramids from Powerslave are present too. You can see Batman on a ledge above the subway(back of album cover).

[Deth]

Somewhere In Time's album cover is full of good stuff.

Never noticed the cat though.

[classicrockman]

I think Hallowed Be Thy Name would be a better closer personally, but Iron Maiden is good. And Crag I agree Rime of the Ancient Mariner should be played more often, awesome song.

Now that ClassicRockMan did best song on each album let's do the two worst on each album. Let's say first three this time. (1 is worst 2 is second worst)

Iron Maiden:
1. Running Free
2. Strange World

This was a hard album almost every song is fantastic. Although those songs are the worst on the album, they're still great songs.

Killers:
1. Prodigal Son
2. Ides of March

Neither are bad per se. Ides of March is more of an opener and Prodigal Son just isn't fantastic. Still good songs.

Number of the Beast:
1. Gangland
2. Invaders

Both are decent but below Maiden's normal standard of excellence.
I'll be doing that later after we have a contest with the best Maiden songs. I'll just take the song with the fewest points/votes per album and make that the worst Maiden song. I believe "Gangland" is winning.

[ashman]

You can really see all the references on the album covers if you have the LPs...oh wait a minute, I've got those :D

my friends girlfriend went to one of his drum clinics and said he was a retard good thing i didn't believe her

Thats how I met him, and absolutely not. That man is a bloody comedy genious, was a brilliant night. I got my Eddie bass drum head signed by him, I've already posted the pictures in this thread somewhere.

[blackthorne]

wow i would love to go to a clinic with him !! hes a legend oh and what does he have agains't double bass drums

[Trev]

He considers them too complicated and 'undrummerish'. But blimey, his right foot is amazing, he doesn't even need a double bass pedal. The first song he played (along with a guitarist and bassist from the We Will Rock You show thing), was Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick, and he gives Bonham a bloody run for his money.

[crag]

i don't play drums but i would definateatily go to one of his clinics:)

[Josh]

he recommends that people who don't play drums go, as it's not just about the drumming but the whole thing of it being a fairly intimate session.

Better than Guitar World calling CoB a Black Metal band.

Hahaha...that's a joke, they wouldn't know Black metal if it Raped their churches and burned their wives.

They are really hard to separate on Powerslave and PoM, but the rest are easy. H is more technical in a 'meh' way (still a good though), whilst Dave tends to show with Trills and crazy bends and the such.

I was really dissapointed when I got to Run to the Hills. Bruce couldnt hit many of the notes.

It's better then what Dianno used to do, at a gig he'd say; "You do the hight notes and I'll do the low ones" to the crowd... :lol:

If you turn up the album version of Paschendale loud enough you can hear him in the "The bodies of our and our foes..." bit.

I think his voice has some fantastic textures to it.

Ironically enough, I was considering Paschendale for the song for my last talent show. I was thinking either Paschendale, Journeyman (kinda fitting seeing as it's the last week of junior high and I'm leaving that school) or Seventh Son for Maiden songs. Other songs I was considering were Opeth's "Deliverance" or "Master's Apprentices" or Nile's "Unas, Slayer of the Gods"

Edit: Somebody said Bruce can't hit notes anymore, but that's really to be expected considering he's 46 and he's been doing this for 20+ years...he's still better than a lot of vocalists out there now though

Edit 2: I was listening to Face in the Sand, and I'm still trying to figure out why Nicko had to use a double pedal. I've read that using the double pedal caused him pain, but why couldn't he do it with one foot unless that caused him pain as well?

I also was listening to Dream of Mirrors, and I've showed people this song and they all say "there's no way he's using a single pedal, he has to be using a double." One person called me stupid because I said "he's doing a triplet pattern on the single pedal" lolz

Also, there's a fill in the RiR version of Iron Maiden at about 3:45 in that sounds to me like a double pedal, but it's probably a mix of the low toms and pedal

he used a double bass pedal for that song because he didn't have the stamina to keep it going with just a single.

[vashts80]

ah, k

[ashman]

Plus according to him, double pedals are undrummerish..:p

[classicrockman]

Sorry I've been away for a while guys. This next album seems to somewhat of a fan favorite, but I think it is overated. I'm talking about 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.' I didn't like how Iron Maiden starting experimenting with keyboards. This would sadly be Adrain Smith's last album with the band, until a triumphant return in 2000. My top 5:

1. The Evil that Men do
2. The Clairvoyant
3. Can I Play with Madness?
4. Moonchild
5. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son

Anyhoo, Moonchild is ace, best intro to a song ever;

"I am he, the bornless one, the fallen angel watching you!"

[Lord Abortion]

I think Only the good die young is better.

"The Demon in your mind will rape you in your bed at nght!"

True, I love SOASS, it's my favourite album of all time, I know all the lyrics to every song on that album. It's also the first album I ever listened to.

[Josh]

i don't listen to SSOASS that much, but i love The Evil That Men Do.

SSoaSS is good but not great

couldn't agree more:thumb:

[Josh]

plus, Steve's basslines on SiT are teh secks. especially on caught somewhere in time, and déja vu.

[Deth]

I would take SSOASS over SiT anyday. Put down the crack pipe.

[Josh]

lol. i've just never liked SSOASS as much. and put down what crack pipe :rolleyes:

[Deth]

The one that's making you say that you prefer Somewhere In Time to SSOASS of course!

[ashman]

SSoaSS, is just a legendary album. The song is amazing and it's one of the darkest album (well after Xfactor), the mythology is ace.

SiT is a great album, probably my second fave album.

[Deth]

I'm a complete sucker for concept albums, so that helps.

Any ideas on what the concept for the new album will be?
