you could just get your parents to get them from www.ticketmaster.co.uk , that's where i normally get tickets from. handling charges and that are quite high though :(

[Bub]

I've ordered my tickets (Fan Club Preorder)
heh we did it at school cos we had nothing to do...it turned out to be about £36.00 each ticket with a shipping onf about £4.50 if anyone's wondering
that's for UK (Sheffield Standing, and as I'm Fan Club I might even get one of those wristband thingies meaning I can go in before doors open...
May I see anyone there?)

nah, going to Newcastle. i'm gonna enter for one of those wristbands though, that would be sweet to be guaranteed a place at the front.
was that £4.50 charges from ticketmaster?
the first time i saw Maiden tickets were only £23 or so :(.

[Bub]

yeah ticketmaster, it was a "one time charge" though if you get me?
We ordered 4 tickets and it was still £4.50 combined shipping like

I think the total for our 4 tickets was £153.00

yeh if you buy more than 1 ticket, the handling charge stays the same. i need to use my dad's credit card, then get the money off my mates / out my bank account yet. once i've got my student account, i can get a Visa card i think, so i can use that anywhere, whereas with my Visa Electron debit card i'm limited as to where i can use it.

Thats actually ot too bad.

[Josh]

Thats actually ot too bad.
i need to persuade my dad to spend the £97.50 + handling fee, when he might not get the money for a while yet.

[Lord Abortion]

Dude, it was the same price last time.
Because Ticketmaster are fags.

It's maiden, I'll pay pretty much anything.

[Josh]

it wasn't that much per ticket back in '03, i'm sure.

[Lord Abortion]

It was £25, but with booking fee and postage, it was that.

[SimonCore]

It was £25, but with booking fee and postage, it was that.

That ain't bad at all. Audioslave was like £40:o

[Deth]

I would pay a lot to see them. A lot.

[Shattered_Future]

I would too, but Ticketmaster seriously charges way too much for handling.

[Deth]

I always try to get the tickets from the venue, it can usually save me $8 or so.

[-The Frank]

Ugh, something tells me im going to have to go up to canada to go see 'em....

[crag]

I just heard Maiden do a cover of We're Walking in the Air from that snowman thing, it's pretty cool.

[Josh]

Ollie: gonna order the tickets before monday, but still bring the money in then.
and i random thing i found on the IMOC:

Infinte Beers

Infinite beers, i cant deny them
Sobriety is hard to comprehend
I couldn't piss such streams
Even with a million beers

Intoxicated, wake up damp and wet
Scared to fall asleep again
In case I piss my pants again

Whiskey chasers, I cannot move
Standing rigid, yet swaying gently
All the beer, where will it end?
Will I reach my bed?

Tasteless beer, my minds in turmoil
One piss up ends, another fertile
Its getting to me, so scared to drink
And scared to wake now, drenched in piss

Even though it's every night
I rather like the rucks and fights
It makes me wonder makes me think
There's more to this, I need a drink

It's not the fear of a drunken state
Its just that I've been up too late
I have a six pack, some on draught
And twenty kegs just for a laugh

Its can't be all coincidence
To many beers are imminent
You tell me, you're an alcoholic
In recovery, well me I'm neither

Would you like to know the truth?
Of why I'm falling off the roof?
And find out just which side I'm on
Where would you end...legless or in debt?

Help me
Help me to down the last pint before its chucking out time
Save me
Save me from pissing my pants every night in my dreams

There's got to be more to it than this
Or tell me why do we get pissed?
I'd like to think that that when I die
They'll bury me in hops and rye

And to return, I'd drink again
Inebriate, dull the pain
And again, and again, and again

And again.......

[-The Frank]

i just had a tiger beer :cool:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

hahaha. great song too :cool:

[crag]

haha, Infinite Beers. I must hear the song with those lyrics.

[JamJar]

That was great. ^ 123!!!

[Josh]

i want a t-shirt with the Hallowed be thy Beer prayer on it, i can't really remember how it goes but it's great.

/googles it.

here we are:

The Beer Prayer

Our lager,
Which art in barrels,
Hallowed be thy drink.
Thy will be drunk, (I will be drunk),
At home as it is in the tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head,
And forgive us our spillage,
As we forgive those who spill against
us.
And lead us not to incarceration,
But deliver us from hangovers.
For thine is the beer, the bitter, and
the lager.
Forever and ever,
Barmen

In 1993 James labrie was the first choice to become iron maidens new singer when bruce dickinson left. James declined.

Disccuss
I'm glad he declined, if he had joined Maiden then there would have been no Blaze era which would mean no X-factor of Virtual XI, also there would have been no return of Bruce because most likely people would have warmed to LaBrie more me thinks, so that means no BNW or DoD.

Exactly, but labrie would probably stay becasue hese most likely more conisistant the blaze live. Which means no BNW or Dod. People may have not warmed up to labrie, but he would most likely stay becasue of his live consistenscy.

Anyway it would have sucked for maiden if he joined.
So im glad he didnt :thumb:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

What's more interesting is that he declined! He must have had very high hopes for DT at the time if he declined a spot in Iron Maiden.

[Josh]

although he sounds good on the live NOTB cover, i don't think LaBrie would have suited maiden's album sound.

[temporary]

As I said in the DT thread, I'm glad he LaBrie declined. Blaze was a great choice, and LaBrie would've left when Bruce came back. Plus, DT would've had to find a new vocalist who probly wouldn't have been as good.

Np: To Tame a Land

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, and plus, DT would be nowhere near as good without him, no tear-inducing vocals on the spirit carries on, for one.

[ashman]

:lol::lol:

anyway, since your a guitarist, what do you think about this guitar
http://www.cort.com/guitars/x_models/index.html

(the X6 one)

Good pickup combination, looks good


BUT, I've no experience with Cort. My suggestion is to try it out, if you like it more then other guitars, get it. A 1000 Dollars is a lot of money.

As for LaBrie in Maiden... I'd be 'kin pissed off if he was in there, he voice wouldn't have suited Maiden. He's voice is too thin and weak, which none of the Maiden singers have. Pauls voice was done and dirty, Bruce's strong and can make his scream sound manly and Blazes voice is thick and strong if you know what I mean.

If he was the singer, I'd download the album and give it try, but I doubt I'd like it....and in conclusion...I don't like Dream Theater!

well, i've decided ordering tickets while tipsy isn't a good idea, so that can wait til tomorrow night. but i'm still gonna get them :)

EDIT: dad said just get them now, so 3 tickets for Iron Maiden at Metro Radio Arena (Newcastle) have just been purchased for at total of £38.80 each, inc. charges.

So which Maiden song has the most outstanding fills/ditties by Steve? Not necessarily which songs are the hardest to play on bass (like POTO or Rime) because songs like those are just fast and complex. But which ones have the most little fills and extra things in them?

I'm thinkin' Sanctuary or 2 Minutes to Midnight.

[SimonCore]

Bah i just found out i'm not going to maiden unless the tickets don't seel out for another month:upset: I haven't got anywhere near enough money:angry:

iron maiden are so ridiculously great. "phantom of the opera" is their best song in my opinion.

I agree, except for Hallowed Be Thy Name. We cover Phantom in our band, great fun to play and a real crowd pleaser.

so how do you know the Golden Years tour setlist already?

so how do you know the Golden Years tour setlist already?

Im just guessing considering its more popular then moonchild or caught somewhere in time.

[AB/CD]

no point in getting hopes up for it tho it may be popular doesnt mean the band will wanna do it

[Josh]

i thought Steve didn't like playing it any more :confused:
meh, i'd love it if they opened with Caught Somewhere In Time, they have to do that on the tour anyway as it's an album title track. Rime... would be great, but they probably wouldn't do that. 2MTM would probably be on, and hopefully Powerslave...

[Lord Abortion]

They'll play two minutes, I would be sure of that.

[crag]

/hopes for Alexander The Great

[Deth]

Alexander, Powerslave and Infinite Dreams would be the one track I want from the three albums.

[Lord Abortion]

Probably Rime, Sea of madness and infinite dreams

[crag]

RotAM, AtG, Moonchild

[Josh]

Heaven Can Wait would be awesome, the bit after "take my hand, i'll lead you to the promised land" (the whoa-oa-oa) bit would be a good crowd interaction bit.

http://www.mxtabs.net/tab_versions.php?path=Guitar,i,621,Iron+Maiden,The +Wicker+Man,31615

that's a 5* rated tab of The Wicker Man. i'm not a guitarist though, so i can't help you really.

[crag]

There is a tab out there somewhere for the RiR solo, i remember learning it back in the day. I'll have a look about:)

EDIT: Many apologies but i can't find it, it's not too different from the original if i remember rightly, so you could try the tab Josh posted:)

[the_uber_penguin]

That tab is only about 90% right for the solo.

I have PT somewhere that's pretty accurate, I'll just make a few changes to it to make it the RiR version. Adrian generally keeps his solos the same in the studio and live, though.

[purgatory]

Maiden changed my life. before them, i use to listen to rap )=. i realized rap has no talent so i dropped that **** and threw up the HORNS!!!! \m/

[the_uber_penguin]

I've gone a wierd way.

I used to listen to pop (was a huge Spice Girls fan in the day)...then I discovered Blink 182.

First heard Iron Maiden when I was 13. Too young to really understand the lyrics, or appreciate the music. Got into punk.

Heard Iron Maiden again when Dance Of Death came out. I was 16 now, and had been playing guitar for a few years. Adrian became my guitar idol. I still listen to (and appreciate) bands like Blink 182, Greenday and punk.

From Iron Maiden, I became more intersted in Western Art (i.e. classical music) and from there folk.

Folk music led my back into liking pop, so I can enjoy lots of pop songs, so long as its not R&B.

Rap is another thing, though. I'm not normally a fan, but some of it is amazingly good. I love Eminem, and I love the streets, just because they're being so autobiographical. Eminem does some amazing videos too.

In the end, I'm now someone who knows and appreciates a bit of all kinds of music, which is good. I feel I don't limit myself.

My favourite bands of all time are still, however:

1. Iron Maiden
2. Greenday
3. Eminem.

[ashman]

Since we're all talking about how we got into Maiden...

Simply put...I always have, been listening to 'em since I was in the womb, nearly 20 years ago. Christ, I'm old.

Meh, while we were waiting at an airport my older brother showed me the oppening riff of the trooper. I thought it was so nuts that i downloaded the whole song and then told one of my friends about it. HE then downlaoded the wicker man and showed me and of course i thought it was awesome. Since then ive bought everythign.

Funny how my brother only liked the oppening riff to the trooper. He actually kind of hates maiden but just likes the riff.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

One of my friends was a fan, and when he mentioned how awesome Aces High was, so I downloaded it, then I borrowed Best Of The Beast off him and after a while I began to like them alot.

I think i would, montsegur + new frontier + wildest dreams + rainmaker + dance of death + journeyman + age of innosence + no more lies + pacshnedale + and face in the sand = :thumb:


That cd is brilliant with the exception of gates tommrow. Not my #1 album but most likely top 5 material
gates of tomorrow is also the one song i don't like on that album.
Ash: not being at Uni yet ++
also, i just applied for a second job, so hopefully i'll still be able to go to gigs while i'm at uni :)

[ollie_poole]

I don't like 'Age of Innocence'. It's been said many, many times but it's true: it sounds like someone from the Daily Mail / Express wrote the lyrics.

[Josh]

i quite like that one, i prefer it to Face In The Sand. it's meant to be political, and seeing as i can get fairly worked up about politics etc, it appeals to me.

[Sir Meehan]

ok new member here so don't be to harsh. I'm sure you guys have been talking about it, but they do have a new album coming out this fall right? and also what are some good lesser known iron maiden songs.

I'm only at university via a technicality...

I haven't been to any lectures in over 3 weeks :lol:

That is correct Great Sir Meehan, they are writing ze album as we speak. Lesser known Maiden songs eh? Burning Ambition, Invasion, pretty much the whole X-Factor and VXI album and we can't forget the classics 'More Jam please' and 'Pass the tea Vicar' :lol:

[Sir Meehan]

ok cool thanks

[PepsiMetal]

and also what are some good lesser known iron maiden songs.

I didn't know either of these songs, so I'll say Moonchild, Dream of mirros, Paschendale, rainmaker, no more lies, and one of the best but least known I think is Mother Russia. :wave:

[EdwardTheGreat]

I accidently ordered 6 seated instead of standing tickets for the earls Court gig, so if anyone wants 6 seated tickets for £224.75 please can you buy them off me email edwardthegreat_@hotmail.com

depends what they want on it. a full World Slavery Tour show would be nice.

[purgatory]

I wish i could have seen In Flames back in the good days, The Jesters Race!
By far the best album!!! After that they just went downhill. We all know that though. :angry:

Still life, Fortunes of war, the aftermath, drifter, dream of mirrors, killers, murders in the rue morgue, Tailgunner.

That should do you.

The crisis is averted, i've managed to persuade two of my fellow band members to accompany me to SECC on 15th Dec:)

Bruce does a bad version of ETMD (http://s55.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3VDA3ZX2P5DST2UQAOFTR9EYC7) and because it's a bootleg it's ok to post it.

He sounds like he's drunk in that rofl.

Favorite songs in which Steve had no part of.

[Josh]

Favorite songs in which Steve had no part of.
hmm, i can only do that for the albums i own, as none of my music is stored on my pc, and my mp3 player doesn't show composer info.

EDIT: Charlotte the Harlot, Revelations, Flight Of Icarus, Sun and Steel, 2 Minutes to Midnight, Powerslave, Be Quick or be Dead, Judas Be My Guide, Wasted Years, Man on the Edge, New Frontier.

[Deth]

Yeah, I can't think of any now :p.

[crag]

All the H/Bruce songs

[Deth]

Ah, well, Powerslave takes number 1 with Revelations behind. Beyond that I can't name any off the top of my head.

[Josh]

i edited a vast number of songs in :)
(just looked through the inserts of the albums i own)

Good eve, Sir Martin.

We have been keeping your seat warm while you were away.
It was Josh specfically, so it may smell a tad.

[Thunder Fingers]

thats ok...

i think i might be leaving soon anyway... im currently thrown out of school, but chances are that i will be back again on tuesday...

[Deth]

Good to see you! It's been hard holding the fort as the only sole bass player here.

[Darkness]

How did you get thrown out of school?

[-The Frank]

Good to see you! It's been hard holding the fort as the only sole bass player here.

Im a bass player :(

[Deth]

:shifty:

Well, talk about it more then dammit!

[YDload]

I'm a bass player too. In fact, I usually talk about Maiden almost exclusively in terms of the bass. Don't you remember the discussion I just had about which songs have the most over-the-top bass fills by Steve?

[Deth]

Fine :angry:

I like to think I'm the only bassist here then.

[YDload]

youre the only one who routinely posts recordings of yourself playing Maiden stuff so you might as well be!

[Alex]

Im a bass player :(
same

u guys must know that maiden are recording thier new album now right?

[-The Frank]

Fine :angry:

That reminds me, purgatory showed me how much a beast steve harris is on bass. How the hell do you keep up with that speed throughout the whole ****ing song!!! :angry:

[YDload]

Purgatory is one of my favorite Maiden songs ever. I love playing it on bass, but I'm probably only playing half as many notes as I should :(

[-The Frank]

I've officially decided you need your avatar back

[2muchket!]

I thought I had good stamina playing fast songs, that is until I tried playing purgatory. MY hands aching now

[crag]

ha i just had a look at the bass tab for Purgatory, i want to learn it but i don't think i've got a chance in hell if you bassists find it hard:p

[Josh]

i play bass...very badly. theres no way i could ever play at Steve's speed :(

[ashman]

I've officially decided you need your avatar back

When I can be bothered to make one...and or find one.

Right, I've decided I'm going to begin learning every song on the first album on guitar. And then when I've done that, move onto the second and so forth.

I must learn every maiden song!

[Readingfc]

Ordered two tickets for cardiff now :)
Would this be standing tickets??
Seat location: section FLOOR, row 596, seats 8-9

if there's 596 rows, that's a fairly big crowd :p
generally, the floor at a gig is all standing, at least at all the ones i've been to.

they only had 1 support band last time i saw them, so i doubt they'll add another. doors were at 7, support at 7.30 or something, and maiden were onstage by 9.

That's a very good idea, i might join you in that little quest.

That means i've got 3 songs to learn on the ST before moving onto Killers:)

[to_Burn_The_Eye]

267 days to Cardiff!!!! lol
Gonna be so good can't wait.
Shame its such a long time away.

[Josh]

i can't be arsed to work out how far away it is, lol.
how long does it normally take for ticketmaster to post tickets to you? i can't remember, it's been so long since i got any from them. but i bought my maiden tickets a week ago.

[crag]

:eek: that reminds me, i still need to order my tickets.

[to_Burn_The_Eye]

When i ordered my trivium tickets for March. I got them about a week after ordering and that was In november I think.

Any of them, they're all great.

If i was to recommend an album though i would say Brave New World.

[Lord Abortion]

I'd say Piece of Mind, X-Factor or Brave New World.

God damn it, i can't find standing tickets anywhere. I don't want to be sitting at the back:upset:

Ah, that's really hard to say. Everyone's got their favorites. But I'd get:

1. Iron Maiden
2. The Number of the Beast
3. Killers
4. Powerslave
5. Piece of Mind

They're all pretty awesome though.

[to_Burn_The_Eye]

God damn it, i can't find standing tickets anywhere. I don't want to be sitting at the back:upset:

I'd personally say you should get Killers. It seems to be the most consistent with good songs from the albums I've heard by them.

[to_Burn_The_Eye]

Im pretty sure this is standing but does anyone know if there is someone i can contact to see?
it says FLOOR, row 596, seats 8-9
