Iron Maiden

[ashman]

Yah, but as you can see in the picture there is apprently going to be a dvd of the early days tour comming soon. :chug:

Aye, that should be grand. I reckon that'll be coming out end of this year/beginning 07.

[-The Frank]

doesnt matter as long as they finish their god damn album!

When is it being released? Is it Summer? If so, I'm hoping it's the 19th of August, since that'd be my 20th Birthday, so I can celebrate both me becoming ancient and the release of the new holy album. :chug:

October i believe...........But i think they might be doing some of their new songs this summer if they play any festivals

[Surtr]

Mhm, they said they might be doing some festivals in the summer for it, but the album release is Oc tober-ish.

[crag]

Would anyone like a bootleg from 1986?

It's in Bristol, and they tune up a half step, sounds cool. I can upload it if anyone wants it.
yes, please do:)

listening to Blaze bootleg, he sounds like he's forgetting the words in Futureal:(

agh, the downloads are gone, i never got to download CD2:(

[Josh]

i doubt they'll tour again before the new album's released, they'll need a break. generally, i don't think they play songs before they're released.

[crag]

if i remember correctly, i watched an interview where Steve said they played Wildest Dreams before DoD was released

[Lord Abortion]

I don't know if they will play advance stuff or not...

[crag]

Hey Ollie. Care to add vocals to my little Trooper cover? I'll assume you don't need both guitar tracks to do it:)

[Lord Abortion]

OK. I'll do them tomorrow... I have an english exam I should be revising for...

[Joey_]

Good cover tune man

[vashts80]

They played Wildest Dreams all during the "Give Me Ed.." tour before DoD was released, with Bruce saying that they don't care if they put it on the 'net, as long as they buy the album if they like the tracks

i can upload both parts of CD2 if you like, you must listen to the trooper.....

[the_uber_penguin]

Having listened to it...is it just me or Blaze a better singer live?

I excepted him to butcher Hallowed and a few others, but he really didn't. Even if I do prefer Bruces versions of most of the songs.

Blaze > Hetfield and most metal singers (apart, perhaps from Serj Tankien (SOAD) who just kicks ***)

He may nnot have sung bruces songs too well, but his songs he sang magnicifintly(sp?), they should have just toured with his songs and an occasional bruce tune (ie. ATSS,the evil that men do)

[the_uber_penguin]

I think Blaze did the Bruce songs much better then a lot of people could have.

I remember hearing his studio versions of songs and thinking "Urg...", but I'm not so sure now. He's got a good live voice.

that would be great thanks:) it would be the one with all the Bruce songs that i couldn't manage to download:(

has anyone else noticed on the inlay cover it says 'Dave Murray-guitar and backing vocals' and it also calls Janick 'Janis' :p

I couldn't do it today, Tomorrow I'm actually coming in from school when I'm supposed to. So I'll do it then.

Hey..I know your not supposed to do this, but the R&M forum is in need of a lift. It's just a forum that was started..3 days ago? by a few us people in Pop-punk.


http://xsorbit30.com/users5/musicforum/index.php

Don't sign up if you don't feel like it, but it would be nice.

[rippa32]

So who is better Blaze or Paul? I wont factor Bruce in this because it's quite clear hes the favourite?

[classicrockman]

So who is better Blaze or Paul? I wont factor Bruce in this because it's quite clear hes the favourite?
Paul. I just love the early raw Maiden stuff. And Paul was the perfect voice for that stuff.

[Dannyboy15]

Paul is 1,000,000 times the vocalist Blazed ever could be. Paul and Bruce are almost neck & neck to me, but Bruce still wins.

[-The Frank]

Paul ftw. Seriously they're both great singers but paul had more energy and aggressive-ness. But for me it was probably more the music then the singing for the first two albums. Blaze were too slow and not fast paced enough. With paul i got to headbang all night long.

[rippa32]

Can someone please tell me what ftw stands for. As for the singer discussion I don't have any albums from either one but from what I've heard Paul is my favourite too, he actually has the odd similarity to bruce but it could be just Steve's melody writing.

Ha, i was just looking through some past pages of this thread and i found around page 200 or something your were asking the same thing about which paul album to get. Stop stalling and start buying :thumb:

[Mr_Bounce]

Iron Maiden kicks complete and total ***. Their music is actually very simple when you get down to it, often using the exact same 3 chords they've used their careers, but they sure come up with incredible songs and riffs.

[crag]

Blaze is better than Paul IMO. i just like his deep emotional vocals so much more than Pauls rougher ones. Also Blaze had the difficult task of filling the shoes of the greatest metal vocalist ever, which he did excellently (even though many ignorant fools will disagree)

Much prefer slow pace to headbanging.

I agree, like Ollie said, he could handle the slower songs really well. But he could still pull of fast rockers, too.

[MR. X]

noe i just want to say taht maiden is an amazing band BUT WTF IS WITH ABORTIONS AVATAR, JESUS CHRIST ARE U IN A CULT I MEAN LOOK AT YOUR NAME COME ON GET A LIFE!

true but paul had some nice slow ones aswell, (ie. strange world,remember tommrow?)

I see you got banned because you fellate horses.
We don't go for bestiality on MX.

yeah, Frank, Strange world is in my top 5 alltime maiden songs, and I also love remember tomorrow.
It's all good.

I dont like Strange World all that much, it never really hooked with me...

This was taken from the IM BB but dont you think its time for maiden to make a new instrumental, it has been 22 years......

My thoughts exactly, although it might be hard to do an instrumental and put it in a concept album.

[Deth]

Dream Theaters done it. It's not too hard.

[YDload]

i think they just do instrumentals to fill up space on albums if they're short on ideas, but with every band member contributing songs now (since Nicko just did on the last album), i don't think that's a problem any more.

[crag]

That's something i'd like to see, a song written solely by Nicko:p

[temporary]

I did? Wow, I remember thinking about getting one of them but getting Powerslave instead. I honestly cant remember asking in this thread. Wow I am stalling, off to the music shop.

I'd say get Powerslave, its my favorite Maiden album along with Piece of Mind. The title track is my fav Maiden song after Hallowed.

Many bands have done instrumentals on concept albums though. Pain Of Salvation, Opeth, Pink Floyd. I'm sure Brucey wouldn't mind.

He wouldn't be on it.

[ashman]

Bruce has a bit of the 'Rockstar' ego in him, he think he is the frontman to Maiden (most of the time), so I just don't think he'll like it. They still might do one. But he is the father I never had :p

[Stormrider]

He wouldn't be on it.

Ah okay. No offense to him or anything, but thats kinda lame*.

*Couldnt think of another word.

[temporary]

Meh, I probably would if I was in his shoes. Plus all of those bands you mentioned (except Pain of Salvation who I've never heard a thing by) have singers who also play instruments.

[JamJar]

Meh, I probably would if I was in his shows. Plus all of those bands you mentioned (except Pain of Salvation who I've never heard a thing by) have singers who also play instruments.

You have a point. (Pain Of Salvation singer also plays guitar) so yeah. Listen to Pain Of Salvation if you ever get the chance. It's basically Dream Theater minus ott wanking and better vocals.

They don't necesserily have to play the instrumental live though. Did they ever play Losfer Words live?

[Stormrider]

But if he contributes in the writing of the song...it doesnt always matter if he sings in it or not.

If there was 4 intrumentals out of 9 songs though, then I would understand, obviously.

[Josh]

They don't necesserily have to play the instrumental live though. Did they ever play Losfer Words live?
yeh they did, i have a live version somewhere, i think Ash sent it out, so it must be part of one of the "First 10 Years" set.

They played it on the world slavery tour, but it was the studio version that I sent out.

I wouldn't rule out an instrumental, I was just saying that Bruce wouldn't be too happy, leave and come back in 5 years after a misunderstood singer took his place :p

[Josh]

Pain of Salvation sounds really good, if your description is acurrate. Any songs you can recomend?

I've always wan't to hear how they tackle Transylvania from A Real Dead One (same for Where Eagles Dare.)

Oh, and I wrote a review for Rock In Rio (the DVD) on sputnik. Go forth and read it, and then return and shower me with thy praise!

[Joey_]

Is it just me, or am I the only one that doesn't like Dance of Death?

[Deth]

The album as a whole is pretty good, songs like Paschendale, Dance of Death, Journeyman, No More Lies, Montsegur and Rainmaker are great. The others are a little subpar.

[ashman]

The album as a whole is pretty good, songs like Paschendale, Dance of Death, Journeyman, No More Lies, Montsegur and Rainmaker are great. The others are a little subpar.

Yeah, those are the songs I love too.

Overall, it'd be a terrible album if it wasn't for the epic songs mentioned above.

[vashts80]

Face is the Sand is fun to play bass along to. As is Rainmaker. I haven't attempted to learn Paschendale or Journeyman yet, since I'm trying to tab out a Nile song within the next month or so. :x

[Flynn]

I can play parts of Paschendale, it's a great song.

[ashman]

Yeah it's great, it's 7/8 time as well, making it quite hard to get your head around if you don't know your theory (like me). Back in the day when I got lessons, I told my guitar teacher that no matter how hard I practised, I could never nail Paschendale (just the rhythm bit), so I brought the CD in and played it to him, he looked at me and said "That's in 7/8 time, of course you'd have a problem with that, now put that crap away and start listening to real music!"


Good times... :p

[rippa32]

I'd say get Powerslave, its my favorite Maiden album along with Piece of Mind. The title track is my fav Maiden song after Hallowed.

I have that one. I have the first three Bruce albums. I have decided to get the Paul ones (if the music shop has both at the time) and get the concept albums later.

[Lord Abortion]

The album as a whole is pretty good, songs like Paschendale, Dance of Death, Journeyman, No More Lies, Montsegur and Rainmaker are great. The others are a little subpar.
I much prefer face in the sand and age of innocence to Montésegur and rainmaker...

[-The Frank]

Ok i know were done talking about this but heres my two cents..................Some people are saying instrumentals dont work to well with concept albums? Well lets all take a look at ghengis kahn theres a instrumental that tells a story. It tells of Ghingis's(sp?)army going into battle, then pillaging (raping ect.), then going on to conqure(sp?, yah im a dumbass) other lands. So i think a instrumental would work great.

ANywho DOD, i though the album was great, the only two songs i though were crap was wildest dreams and gates of tommrow. Everything else was perfect.

Oh, and crag im uploading the second part of the blaze bootleg as we speak aswell as the Best of the B sides

Hey I was just thinking about how Iron Maiden have two solo's each song because of two lead guitarists, which no ither band Ive heard has done and that each guitarist is so distinctive you can tell who is playing what solo. But then I got to thinking about Janick(I don't actually have any albums with Janick). Do they actually have three solos with him?

Brian May is awesome, and incredibly underrated. He built his own guitar. Eric Clapton once said "Brian May can do things with the guitar that I wouldn't dream of doing." Seriously, he has some of my favourite guitar solos ever. Queen's guitarwork is great.

I have no idea because I don't listen to that much new Maiden. I think they just have two solos from two different guitarists, but they change which two every song. And when playing old songs live, I imagine they just do it differently every time or, in the case of the Trooper, they have two guitarists playing the same solo at the same time \m/

[PepsiMetal]

Hmm, I thought they played 2 different harmonized solos?

Hey I was just thinking about how Iron Maiden have two solo's each song because of two lead guitarists, which no ither band Ive heard has done and that each guitarist is so distinctive you can tell who is playing what solo. But then I got to thinking about Janick(I don't actually have any albums with Janick). Do they actually have three solos with him?

Brave New World (song) has three guitar harmonies during the first verse (Davey playing riff, Jannick playing lead, Adrian playing chords), The Fallen Angel has three guitar solos, as do Paschendale and Dance Of Death and No Moe Lies.

[crag]

me hopes they make more use of 3 guitars in the next album, i feel that they haven't quite used that to it's full potential yet.

I haven't heard any newer Maiden, would you say it holds up against their older work?

[crag]

I haven't heard any newer Maiden, would you say it holds up against their older work?
yes.

[ashman]

I haven't heard any newer Maiden, would you say it holds up against their older work?

The newer stuff is more progressive in my opinion, it's not as raw and energetic...but it's still good.

[PinkFloydFan082692]

Since when do you listen to Maiden?

since you started playing them in the morning, waking me up during the summer

[Josh]

The newer stuff is more progressive in my opinion, it's not as raw and energetic...but it's still good.
you could say it's got a lot more technical i suppose.

[MidnightRider]

Cool, I'll probably pick up DOD later on today.

[Josh]

Cool, I'll probably pick up DOD later on today.
DOD is great, the only song i don't like is Gates of Tomorrow, even though it's good.

[clairvoyant]

Brave New World (song) has three guitar harmonies during the first verse (Davey playing riff, Jannick playing lead, Adrian playing chords), .

That wouldn't be a harmony.

[the_uber_penguin]

That wouldn't be a harmony.

It's not linear harmony (which is normally the sort you find in metal music) but it's harmony in the broader, classical sense of the word.

EDIT: Is it just me, or does my bands mascot look like an aquatic Eddie?

Hehe nice plug...

[the_uber_penguin]

Hehe nice plug...

But George does look like Eddie, right?

I should say Chris (drummer/drawings) isn't a huge fan of Maiden, so the resemblence is probably coincidental.

He does like them enough to let me cover The Wicker Man, which I'll get online as soon as I can.

[Lord Abortion]

I do like the fact that you hold his artistic skill so highly it's "drummer/drawings" :lol:

[the_uber_penguin]

He's a great drummer. He can play much faster then he claims, and has some excellent rhythm.

He's also darn good with the old pens.

[Ventriloquist]

You guys recommend their last album? Dance of Death I dont have it...

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, it's not the best, but Paschendale alone is worth it.

[crag]

Yeah, it's not the best, but Paschendale alone is worth it.
123, plus Dance of Death and Journeyman

[the_uber_penguin]

And No More Lies and Face In The Sand.

[Joey_]

Pashcendale is the only song I really like on the album, but Journeyman isn't bad...

[crag]

And No More Lies and Face In The Sand.
i've kind of grown to dislike No More Lies since my little brother played it non stop for about a month.

[the_uber_penguin]

Fair enough.

I do that to my little brother.

[classicrockman]

Same here.

haha, that almost happened to me as well. but i managed to save it and gave him my old linkin park cds. :lol:

not that i ever listened to them, of course.

[the_uber_penguin]

I still listen to Meteora from time to time.

It's worth it for Easier To Run, IMO.

Its good but if you dont have brave new world, i would get that instead.

[crag]

well, i did what could to the Trooper cover, i'm still not happy with it but its the best i can do. So, i thought i'd share it with my fellow Maidenites before i submit it to the competition.

Yeah, I know about that, I don't like those parts myself. I just went all funny and that was about what I could get before the deadline, because of my mic, trying to make it high sounded ludicrously dramatic and waily.

[Deth]

Really good except for the weird vocals. With time, we could have destroyed.

We should have done Hallowed though.

[Lord Abortion]

Exactly, Because of time constraints, That was only a rough version of the vocals that eventually became the final one.

[crag]

Really good except for the weird vocals. With time, we could have destroyed.

yeah, i didn't really manage my time well with this one.

the reason i didn't do Hallowed was because i did it in the last competition.

[Ventriloquist]

Gonna buy the album tomorrow thanks for the help ! BTW I saw a video on tv last night... can't remember the song's name but in the video a guy is riding some kind of desert vehicle... I didnt like it at all :( still going to buy it :)

Wow, the guitars were very good, and the bass and drums weren't half bad either. The vocals were quite interesting durring the verses, but I can't say I liked the chorus.

In other news, Revalations is giving Hallowed Be Thy Name and Powerslave some serious competition for my alltime favorite Maiden song. All the little changes in it with the different riffs and increadible solos plus some awesome vocals and lyrics. Great song.

[YDload]

I like to play Revelations a lot. Not too hard, but still with some interesting bass grooves. The quiet part in the "verses" you could call 'em, and then when it kicks into high gear it's just awesome.

[MidnightRider]

Revelations is definitely in my top 3 songs, the lyrics are outstanding.

[rippa32]

I love Revelations, I also like Children Of The Damned which is kinda the same with the slow bits going into higher energy bits and so forth.

Hey Deth is that Halford in your avatar?

My, who is that awesome guitarist on the left channel? :naughty:


That came out a lot better then I thought it would have. I screwed up the solo majorly, that was the one thing that caused me the most trouble, I'm used to playing Hs solo, because it's so fun to play.

Some cool additions done there by Craig :P

It sounds pretty good considering my whole rig (including pre-amp) cost under £300.

Vocals were quite different, if there was some more time, it would have sounded awesome.

We should do HBTN just for the hell of it :D

Has this been submitted?

Yer I suppose, but only because the slow bits on Revelations are much better than COTD (imo of course).

Anyway we havent done this in a while only becasue it got side tracked.

top 5 list of maiden songs from each album.

I believe we stopped at NPFTD.

2.Public enema number 1
3.No prayer for the dying
4.Tailgunner
5.The assasin :p

[crag]

ew, my least favourite Maiden album:p

1. Tailgunner (by far the best song on this album)
2. NPFTD
3. Running Silent Running Deep
4. Holy Smoke
5. Public Enema No.1

[-The Frank]

Really? IMO it kicks the crap out of FOTD

[crag]

Really? IMO it kicks the crap out of FOTD
nah, FOTD has ATSS, Wasting Love, FOTD and BQOBD

[-The Frank]

Meh, i like em both almost the same. But all in all FOTd would be my least favorite, althought it does have some great tracks.

[crag]

Listening to the Best of the B-Sides.

Maiden's My Generation>The Who's:)

Vintage VS6, the SG copy.

Crap pickups, but plays like a beauty.

I'm gonna start working on HBTN tomorrow. I'll use that drumtrack that that guy did for MXaiden and what Crag already put on it.


Now, the main decision I have to make; Bass or Guitar?

I might do bass on one version (my own version maybe? :p ) and guitar on the main version, but just so you guys can give me your opinion on my bass playing. That's if it's ok with you guys?

Oh and can you mix it again crag? I suck at mixing big time, but you seem to have it sussed :)

i don't know what single or album it'd be from, but if the white & red flag is a red cross on a white background it's possibly one of the war type singles, as that's the cross of St. George.

With a nuclear explosion in the background? That could be 2 minutes to midnight, if not, I have no idea.

As for Mxaiden, we have;

Me - Daves Guitars (Bass for my own version, which crag will mix <3 )
Crag - Guitar H or Janick
Deth - Bass
the_uber_penguin - something that's not drums (guitar maybe?)
-The Frank - The Riggsy of the thread. (If Nickos from another planet, he owns the planet :p )

I reckon we could get away with some 3 guitar songs like, No More Lies, Dance of Death or Paschendale :eek:
