Iron Maiden

[purgatory]

Why doesn't any of the good tours hit the US? I hate it here lol.

[ashman]

probly cos its becoming very repetitive.

Don't be saying stuff like that!!!


I just picked up my bass for the first time in two weeks....my plucking finger is nearly bleeding. Maybe playing Out of the Silent planet and double speed isn't a good idea :p

[the_uber_penguin]

Definately not.

NP- Journeyman.

Anyway, I'm going to try my hand at stand up comedy. I'm just writing my set atm.

[SimonCore]

Hmm. When was the last time Maiden toured USA?

[Mr. Black]

Is anyone going to their show in Sheffield in December?

[AB/CD]

well your gotta admit like it always comes back to the same subjects (and yet I still come back in to read it all :confused: )

bass is great fun like got into an argument with some guy who used to play saying it was easy and started naming aload of maiden songs that are easy btu sure everyone knows maiden songs arent that hard on bass :p

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, it's just got a little shaky in the past few weeks...
Not sure why :rolleyes:

The same bloody questions keep getting asked.

[Stevie]

I missed the tour ! Oh no!

[crag]

The same bloody questions keep getting asked.
This is true, might explain why i haven't posted in two days too.

[superflyjojo]

I would cream myself if Maiden starting playing Rime Of The Ancient Mariner live again. Got to be my favorite Maiden song.

NP: In Flames - Dialogue With The Stars

Same here, i think its gonna be a dead cert for the golden years tour:)

>_>

<_<

that should be an awsome tour - after BNW, SiT is my favourite album :)

[Deth]

I say its their most underrated by far, and I really like it a lot.

[Josh]

i love Caught somewhere in time, loneliness of the long distance runner and déja vu, IMO those are the best on the album, but the others are still awesome.
some people will say "OMG alexander the great is teh secks!" but tbh i don't really like it as much as the others, good song but not the best on the album.

[ashman]

Caught Somewhere in Time is an amazing song, love the intro and the bass...and the solo....and the chorus.....just love the song generally.

[crag]

The whole album is awesome, CSiT is an amazing opener.

[Josh]

Caught Somewhere in Time is an amazing song, love the intro and the bass...and the solo....and the chorus.....just love the song generally.
well, it does have the massive long solos...

[Lord Abortion]

I like SiT alot...sea of madness is amazing, as are CSIT and Heaven can wait...

[Josh]

oh crap, how could i forget them!
i really should get genuine copies of BNW and Sit, as they're my favourite maiden albums, but lack of money* is a problem.

*caused by buying maiden tickets.

[temporary]

I like SiT alot...sea of madness is amazing, as are CSIT and Heaven can wait...

Heaven Can Wait might be Maiden's best "singalong" song. The chorus is so addictive, as is the woah-a-woah part. Seriously, there've been times I'll be walking through school, and suddenly realize I'll be inaudibally muttering that part. The rest of the album is just as good (except a few tracks, of course.) They really need to break out more Somewhere in Time tracks live (not that it matters if they don't tour the ****ing US. Damn Ozzfest and your driving Maiden away.)

[Josh]

HCW is awesome. i have a couple of live versions of that. the "take my hand" bit is awesome.

i do that all the time with Maiden songs, i don't think anyones noticed though:)

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, me too...with alot of music.

[Deth]

I do it more with bands like Blind Guardian. It's impossible not to sing along to choruses like Time Stands Still. Impossible.

[Thunder Fingers]

errrh... another crappy Nu metal band opening for Maiden....

MAIDEN DESERVE BETTER OPENING BANDS!!!! or... maby.... the FANS deserve better opening bands....

[Deth]

Trivium aren't nu-metal, but they aren't good either.

[ashman]

Trivium aren't nu-metal, but they aren't good either.

Well they are if you have an self-respect... :p

[YDload]

Trivium is better than most bands of their genre, but for the most part you probably won't notice it. You can tell that they are HUGE Maiden fans because sometimes their choruses turn really anthemic and catchy. This is probably a dream of a lifetime for them, so think of it that way :)

[crag]

Yeah and if it wasn't for Trivium i'd have noone to go with to see Maiden:p

[Lord Abortion]

I don't care, really, I'd make sarcastic comments about pretty much any band opening for Maiden, except if it was a band I really liked...

ah, I don't think it'll be as good as some of the abuse I gave FFAF, but I'll try.

[Josh]

i reckon Trivium should be allright, but let's face it, most people are going to be there to see Maiden, so their reception's hardly going to be brilliant.

[2muchket!]

Can't be any worse than FFAF surely

[Josh]

/touches wood.

who cares, we're gonna abuse them anyway, whoever it is. well, maybe if metallica supported them we'd be...tolerant.

[Lord Abortion]

Piss off.

I'd still abuse Metallica.

[PAJJ]

Trivium should be pretty good, especially for a Maiden warm up, and I agree it's a definitley a huge step up from FFAF, all thought the supports bands at Hammersmith were pretty damn good.

[YDload]

Gigantour was fun because it's probably the only metal concert where people will chant "Metallica sucks!" (or "Lars sucks!" sometimes) You just don't get that kind of slagging off anywhere!

[classicrockman]

Sweet.

[Josh]

but Lars does suck, so freedom of speech means we can't be locked up for saying the truth.
right?

[blackthorne]

oh my god i got tickets to see maiden in glasgow AND ITS ON MY BIRTHDAY !!!!!

:amaze:


Anyway, i guess im the only one who doesnt mind trivium :(

[crag]

:amaze:


Anyway, i guess im the only one who likes trivium :(
I like them at times, they're the sort of band that i really like for about a month then i'll go off them for a while and then back to liking them and so on.

[JamJar]

I would like Trivium a lot more if it wasn't for those horrible vocals.

[SimonCore]

Trivium are either loved or hated in the majority of cases. There's few people who think they're just ok.

[Josh]

i'm one of those few people then :p

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

i hate them tbh and sadly have 2 see them while they support maiden

[Josh]

meh, i'm not too arsed. i may take my mp3 player, then get to the front row and listen to that while Trivium are on :p.

new topic: assume Maiden play 18 songs or so, of which, say, 6 are from the new album (like DoD tour), what songs off other albums will they play?
i would like (in no particular order / preference) :
Hallowed Be Thy Name
Sign Of The Cross
Blood Brothers (although Brave New World would be great, again)
Iron Maiden
Caught Somewhere In Time
Fear Of The Dark
Paschendale
Hooks In You (yes, i actually like that one :p)
To Tame A Land
Rime Of The Ancient Mariner (or Powerslave)
The Evil That Men Do
The Trooper

[2muchket!]

The Trooper to close would = pwnage

[Josh]

The Trooper to close would = pwnage
in no particular order :p
note the lack of NOTB and RTTH, seen them do those songs twice before, so 2 different longer ones makes it way better :)

[2muchket!]

oic

I still stand by what I said :(

[Josh]

oic

I still stand by what I said :(
it would be such an awesome closer, yes.

[Deth]

I doubt they would play 6. Possibly 4, maybe less if the album hasn't been released yet.

[Josh]

I doubt they would play 6. Possibly 4, maybe less if the album hasn't been released yet.
this is for the december gig, the album will have been released by then :p
and they played 6 off DoD (Rainmaker, Wildest Dreams, DoD, No more lies, journeyman, paschendale)

[Deth]

Kay, sounds good then. This is assuming the album is as good as DoD of course.

[Josh]

hopefully it will be. either way, i have my tickets now. they got delivered last week, dad just hadn't given them to me :(

i'm out, later guys.

[Lord Abortion]

I doubt highly they would play 18 songs, they played 13 last time.

[crag]

Kay, sounds good then. This is assuming the album is as good as DoD of course.
Of course it will, this is Maiden we're talking about:p

[Lord Abortion]

*new singly song*
*other new song*
Still life
Fortunes of war
Infinite dreams
Strange world
Tailgunner
Where eagles dare
*new song*
Paschendale
*new song*
Dream of mirrors
the aftermath
Iron Maiden
...................
Hallowed be thy name
The Trooper

There you go...
16 songs there.

[Deth]

I don't want to doubt them. I'm sure it will slay.

I doubt highly they would play 18 songs, they played 13 last time.
When was this? That's terrible.

[Lord Abortion]

Dance of death tour. sorry, I got mixed up I am wrong, it's late and I'm tired:(

I meant 13 minus encores

Wildest dreams
Wrathchild
can I play with madness?
the trooper
rainmaker
Brave new world
lord of the flies
Dance of death
No more lies
Paschendale
Hallowed be thy name
fear of the dark
Iron Maiden
.....................
Journeyman
.....................
The number of the beast
Run to the hills

[Deth]

I still don't understand why The Trooper isn't an encore. It seems like the perfect song to close a show with.

[dustyboy316]

Wrathchild probably is a great klive song. I can see everyone singing along with it.

[ashman]

I'm not a big fan of wrathchild...

[-The Frank]

this is for the december gig, the album will have been released by then :p
and they played 6 off DoD (Rainmaker, Wildest Dreams, DoD, No more lies, journeyman, paschendale)

They only played 3 songs off of FOTD durring that tour. BUt besides the point

Crap, i tried making a set list but couldnt..
I want them to play all their songs :(

I'm not a big fan of wrathchild...

I'd like a different "killers" song aswell

the song killers would be awesome, as it was on maiden england

[ashman]

I'd like a different "killers" song aswell

the song killers would be awesome, as it was on maiden england

Killers would be awesome, so would Purgatory or Another life or Genghis Khan, or the Ides of March!

I'd also love to hear Strange World live, it's an amazing song. This was the height of Daves talent until SiT.

[-The Frank]

^^ i totally agree, but we all know that wont happen :(
Too many people dont know it plus its not really a crowd "pleaser" i guess you would say. Bu that song would be totally bitchin for me if they played it live

[purgatory]

What would be totally "bitchin" is if Maiden came to the states SOON!!!

[-The Frank]

What would be totally "bitchin" is if Maiden came to the states SOON!!!
They just need to finish their album to make me happy :)

[purgatory]

YES YES!!!! Maiden and Slayer both!

[Lord Abortion]

Killers live would be amazing, actually, I almost put it on that list back there, but removed it for fortunes of war...

[Josh]

They, the Iron Maiden label chaps, have asked me to write you a little recording studioupdate, and keep it off my diary - but I'm not promising! They'd have to pay me for that! What I will do, is let you read it in the Fan Club first!



After our first week of knuckling down and beginning to cut basic tracks, we had a very interesting second week. We've cut 10 long songs for the new album, as well as four songs for B sides, which show quite an interesting side to the band. Don't worry, there's nothing like the "interesting-or-maybe-not" B sides which were all that were left over for the Dance of Death singles. These are great cover versions with a terrific and humourous spirit!



Nicko was due to wrap up the album drum tracks this week, which he did - celebrating the end of each new take with very fine and expensive French wines - some Margaux, some Chateau Palmer - you get the idea. Because I join in the celebrations, I bought some wonderful £3.99 Australian Shirazes, which I cunningly decanted before serving them up to our esteemed battery-boy! He seemed to enjoy them JUST as much, and seemingly didn't notice the changes in varietals, regions or vintages! I know a little of wine, as I owned a wonderful cellar of French wines myself, which I sent to auction late last year, as I never got to my house, and the bottles were running a serious risk of becoming thousands of dollars worth of vinegar - and I didn't mind the young Aussie drop at all!



Anyhoo, the spirit in the band is as high as I've ever seen. Wing Commander Biggles (as I call Bruce) is running around like a chicken with it's head cut off, singing every take live, like it was his last - 'Arry, or Steve is sounding better than I've ever heard since I began producing the band, galloping along very strongly - and the material is definitely the "groovingest" in a decade. The songs are very progressive, with catchy choruses and I have to confess to being VERY optimistic about the material. The Three Amigos are roaring in their guitar booths, and I have been running around with a video camera, capturing the session as it unfolds, which has been annoying the **** out of Janick, but as he bought me beers in the pub all night long last night (a first!), he can't be too annoyed at me! Anyway, you'll get to see his "bad time of the month" tantrums on the next behind-the-scenes DVD, as well as some stunning acoustic playing he's delivered! Davey is as amiable as ever, playing flowing leads seemingly effortlessly; and Adrian is as concerned as ever - he really is the worry-wort of the sessions. Always quizzing guitar tones, song tempos and second guessing his amazing performances, which are always the most precise of the 3. His wife tells him to go fishing to chill out, which she assures me, calms him down!



We've had a few guests in - Nicko went out with Manuel from Fawlty Towers -I think his name is Andrew Sachs - and then he came by with his rather attractive brunette daughter, to watch me putting the finishing touches to a B side song.

Thursday, Jimmy Page dropped by to see me, and I dragged him into the studio, where all the band were in their positions busy playing, and they had no idea he was coming and were very happily surprised! Jimmy still is the consumate rock star/legend/icon he's always been! And of course, my beloved son Josh, has been watching the sessions unfold, as he sits quietly in the corner doing line drawings of Eddie on pads of foolscap, before he heads out to the pub with his buddies, and fake ID in his pocket! He's the only one who's been allowed to watch the sessions - and he thinks the material is awesome. He's a big fan of Avenged Sevenfold and Chiodos, so...... I think it's going to be a mighty album!

Last night, the 3 Amigos, Wing Commander Biggles and myself (and many Sanctuary personnel) were part of a pub crawl to bid farewell to Jackie da Costa, who's been part of the Maiden camp for some time; and then Biggles and his wife, myself and Mrs. Smith went to dine at the up-yer-bum establishment that is The Electric, on Portabello Road. Adrian was being dad and fishing (?), Nicko had a wisdom tooth removed, and was by all accounts "well out of it!" and didn't make it, and 'Arry "hates that ****" and avoided the two hour drive from Harlow just to drink on St. Paddys Day! So, while Mrs. Smith and Dickinson pretentiously dined on fish and white wine at our fabby, if horribly smoky dinner, I had a burger and a Coke, and Bruce had beer, broccoli florettes and ketchup, and french fries! He insisted that the Lycopene and anti-oxidants were all part of an all-round healthy diet! It was just a classy affair all 'round, really!!



Next, I'm in the process of going through all the takes, selecting the best ones, then the band will be in mid-week to begin the overdubbing phase.

Back to work. Monday saw me alone in the studio, going through the tracks and picking the performances, editing and fixing up the few blatant stinkers where necessary. Nicko has left the building, for the sunny shores of Miami, Flahdah - and kindly left us all with his stinkin' lurgy, so there's much coughing and sputtering around the console!



Tuesday, all the lads came in and I played them rough mixes of all the basic tracks, and they're sounding incredible (even Adrian was thrilled!) - then we went through who's doing what guitar solos where, where the Three Amigos are playing harmony melodies, where keys would play melody and pad - and the album is a terrific Iron Maiden album - full of trademark gallops and canters, hard rocking choruses - perhaps a little more tough prog riffing spirited about than on record lately, and definitely a couple of well grounded groovers in there too. Long melodic intros abound and the rocker that's probably the single, is as tough as it gets on radio. There's one about a famous eccentric and novelist, who's memorabilia is sensitively distributed throughout the studio for inspiration. It turns out that Janick is a bit of an avid collector and an anorak about this fellow, and he isn't Pawtucket Pat!! We call the song, The Rime Of Billy Bunter!



Wing Commander Biggles has been absent all week - flying sorties to Egypt and Sierra Leone.

'Arry been in a fine mood as his beloved West Ham are through to the quarter finals of the F.A. Cup, although we did have a loud and heated argument about a guitar harmony (it wasn't a debate) - he insists he's right, but I know I am! I pedantically threw out "I've studied classical composition" to which he maturely countered with "well, I don't give a toss as I've studied rockabilly!" Anyway, you had to be there and the moment will forever be shrouded in the mists of time....but most importantly the harmonies came out AMAZING, and I know I'm right! If he needs to say otherwise, he can do the damn diary! Well, we all want the best record possible - and then some! Here are some pictures of his rig - and the bass on this album is the best sounding it's been in years - not that he's doing anything different - but I certainly have! It's definitely going to be the best Maiden record since the great Martin Birch left the dark and dingy control room for greene r fairways. That's genius.......

As I mentioned, the Three Amigos were in yesterday, doing guitar melodies on a couple of songs - their lilting tones playing along the sing-a-long tunes that only 'Arry can write, and Davey put a solo over one that just lifted it into the stratosphere - with a Celtic lilt to get Steven Hawkins doing the jig! Today, I'm just waiting for Davey, who's going to do some more soloing, and we're moving along with him (not that he's in a rush), as his family are all in Hawaii and he must be looking forward to spending time with them, before the Maiden trucks roll out for the tour at year's end!

Anyhoo, that's it for this week - there's actually not that much to say - because that's what making a record is. The same slog and grind day after day. I only do it, because i can't do anything else!! If I raise the seat on my bicycle, I invariably strip the thread - even though I always have. My dad used to yell at me about being more sensitive, but I just don't know when to stop.........

omg, more prog-sounding than before...
should be great :)

[Lord Abortion]

as well as some stunning acoustic playing he's delivered!

/has accident

[the_uber_penguin]

Hehe...I just found an article in New Scientist headlined "Limp To The Hills!"

[ashman]

Ooh looks good. But they didn't mention anything about the concept thing...

[Deth]

I'm thinking that the album is going to be closest to SSOASS. Which of course is about as good as it can get.

[Stormrider]

I had almost bought SSOASS. I should have bought them when I had the chance...that is when I had a lot of money to spend on cd's.

I had almost bought that one and X - Factor.

meh...

[Deth]

The X Factor is great but it doesn't sound like the Maiden you know. It's much darker and more progressive. Still great, but not Maiden like.

Buy SSOASS.

[Stormrider]

Theres a few more that I want maybe...but I don't plan on getting them all.

And yeah, I'll get that one Deth. After X Factor though.

[ashman]

IMO SSOASS is the definitive Maiden sound! :p

[-The Frank]

omg, more prog-sounding than before...

:eek: that sounds amazing :eek:

btw, are you a fan club member?


IMO SSOASS is the definitive Maiden sound! :p

Eh, i never thought maiden had a definitive sound. Almost every album sounds unique and is different every time. But, if there was one definitive sound SSOASS would be it.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

SSOASS is my favourite Maiden album.

[purgatory]

Nope, I have to go with Fear of the Dark!

From here to Eternity is an ace song.

From here to Eternity is an ace song.
i could never really get into "from here to eternity". Although on occasion i will listen to it religously. ONly on a real dead one though. Studio doesnt cut it for me.
But even after racking my brain last night i forgot about wasting love. great song aswell.

I've been listening to Judgement Day a lot recently, it's such an awesome song, i was really surprised that it didn't make the album.

But, now to think of it, when listening, you dont really get that X-factor feeling. Which is dark and depressing. They should have just made one more album with blaze and put all the songs that didnt make virtualXI and Xfactor on it.


I just want more blaze :(

I haven't seen them play that live yet!

Then you should buy Death on the Road immediately.

[Josh]

I haven't seen them play that live yet!
/points and laughs :p

seriously though, i reckon Bruce sounded better on the night i saw them first than he does on DOTR, and Paschendale was one of the best songs.

I would rather it be in person but i guess that will have to do )=

Tbh, it's not the worst pit in the world, but you have to remember that;

There are going to be 10 000 people behind you trying to get to the front, loads of people jumping up and screaming...

You'll be fine as longs as you're not a dwarf and there are no knob heads there.

It's the poseur trivium idiots don't try to make it like the stereotypical metal pit...

[Deth]

the live version of Paschendale is most definitely better than the studio.
and the best version is when you're there in the crowd :)
The solos on the live version beat the DoD version IMO.

Plus the intro kicks poontang.

Daves solo tone at the moment; is (I think) Bass and treble nearly full, mids scoop. about half way on your Reverb, some sort of combination of Phaser, Flange and Chorus, I'm still working it out. Been struggling with it since I got my V-amp 2 :upset:

The intro riff to Rainmaker is one of my favourite riffs to play..

[-The Frank]

Damn, can you hook me up with Paschendale too please?

Tbh, it's not the worst pit in the world, but you have to remember that;

There are going to be 10 000 people behind you trying to get to the front, loads of people jumping up and screaming...

You'll be fine as longs as you're not a dwarf and there are no knob heads there.

It's the poseur trivium idiots don't try to make it like the stereotypical metal pit...

i am pretty small.. im about 5 foot 4:( i was thinking that, i didnt think maiden was like that but snice trivium are the support i thot hmm..thanks for the advice

Same here, except replace V-amp 2 with POD 2.0. I'm seriously considering investing in a POD XT and downloading a Maiden patch.

Does anyone still want paul diannos killers cd? Since i finnaly found a uploader that works for me, i can finnaly upload the cds everyone wanted. Also, i now have time.

And since rapidshare lets you have folders that hold all your upload links in you can all access everything i upload through my folder:
http://rapidshare.de/users/2OGK34

password:123456
atm, uploading paul diannos killers cd ( should be done in a few minutes )
And, since i know alot of you wanted the best of the B-sides, that should be in the folder by tommrow morning, or if i dont go to sleep, in a few hours.

And since i can now upload everything, if you want any other cd (ie.rest eddies archives or a bootleg maidens earliest known recordings) then just ask .

[Rattlehead]

what are maiden doing right now? in the studio? touring? i have all their albums and they're one of my all time favourite bands.
but what's the order of their albums?

[-The Frank]

IN studio

Albums:
iron maiden
killers
number of the beast
piece of mind
powerslave
live after death
somewhere in time
seventh son of a seventh son
no prayer for the dying
fear of the dark
a real live/dead one
the x factor
virtual 11
brave new world
rock in rio
dance of death
death on the road

[Rattlehead]

cool, so whats the news on the new album? or is that all you know?

and i have all the album with Bruce, except for FotD. apparently it's crap.

and i don't have death on the road. is it good?

[-The Frank]

DOTR and FOTD are both awesome, go buy buy buy. And apperntly the new album is going to be a concept album along with being a double album. They have already cut 10 tracks for it. Also, more acoustic stuff.

[Josh]

i don't think it's going to be a double album. 10 long tracks would probably only make it 80 minutes or so.
links to the studio reports, so you don't have to look back a few pages:
http://www.ironmaidenonlineclub.com/forumdisplay.php?f=12
also, the "more acoustic" thing could refer to more Dream Of Mirrors-style tracks, Janick does the acoustic on that.

[-The Frank]

oo ok, and im not a fan club member :(

But i just remember them saying they might make a double album. Infact, in run to the hills they say that. But if they just cut only 10 tracks, then i guess not.

[Josh]

can you not even look at the forums if you're not a member?

[-The Frank]

yep, cant even look at the forums :(

[Josh]

that's fairly gay. i hadn't thought people wouldn't be able to look :(.
there's still only the 2 reports up though, i think they go out on mondays, so i'll put the 3rd on here when it's up.

[-The Frank]

Many thanks to thee!


I might sign up for the iron maiden fan club soon anyway.....

it's only £10 / year, and it lets you buy tickets early...

Off to see Maiden in Sheffield!

Anyone got any ideas for the setlist?

[Josh]

probably similar to the DOTR tour, replacing most of the DoD stuff, and 1 or 2 of the older songs, with new material, from the album that will hopefully be released in the next couple of months.

[Mr. Black]

yeh, any info on what thats gonna be called?

[Josh]

none yet.

[Lord Abortion]

I hope they change the set around a bit, keep hallowed, Iron Maiden(obviously) and Pashendale and play some unknown tracks, all this "classic songs" crap is starting to get to me.
Yeah, they want to get people into the band by more recognisable songs...but there is a limit.

good choices, but they should nevertheless keep the trooper and wicker bloke and stuff like that.

[JamJar]

I'd like The Trooper as well. It'd be very cool if they played Powerslave and Infinite Dreams.

[Josh]

they should play some of the "classics" that they don't normally play, people would obviously still recognise them.

[Rattlehead]

yeah, they have tonnes of "classics". and Powerslave was my first album, not DoD, btw. i love it.

[Josh]

powerslave is a great album. although i do tend to say that about all their albums, other than No Prayer For The Dying.

It's still a great album, just nowhere near as good as any other Maiden album.

I like all the tracks on NPFTD but it lacks any real standout tracks IMO.

[Lord Abortion]

Tailgunner FTW.

i think my favourite off NPFD is probably Hooks In You, i love that song. not really sure why though.

[PAJJ]

Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter is one of my fav Maiden tracks, and it's awsome live.

[JamJar]

The title track and Mother Russia are my faves.

Tailgunner is the only track that really stands out on that album IMO

ACtually i didnt know the sum41 thing was dedicated to iron maiden. thats cool that they got the dude who did it with maiden. If i remember correctly sum41 were once a iron maiden tribute band....

[crag]

I've always thought it was someone else too.

He greatly reduced his film work from around 1975, as horror itself suffered a slump, and increased his narrative and voice work. For example, Price's voiceover is heard on Alice Cooper's first solo album Welcome to My Nightmare; in Michael Jackson's music video, Thriller as well on Iron Maiden's "The Number of the Beast"'; and, in one of his last major and one of his favourite feature film roles, as the voice of Professor Ratigan in Walt Disney Pictures' The Great Mouse Detective. He also starred for a year in the early 1970s in a syndicated daily radio program, Tales of the Unexplained.

:confused:

[ashman]

Didn't he die before they made the album? And plus 'Run to The Hills' and every over source except wiki says it was only a guy who sounded like him...

[Rattlehead]

i just heard death on the road, and the backing singer sounds munted on "can i play with madness" - sounds like he's saying can i play with Agnes.:lol:

It is Bruce that say's 'Agnes'. If you watch closely you can see that his mouth does not close in order to create the sound of 'M'. He also had a cold on that night which may have added to it.

[ollie_poole]

on Piece of Mind, on Still Life, some jamaican guy says something which is recorded backwards. what is it?

Im not exactly sure what he says but it's taking the mick out of all the hoohah over satanic messages and like being heard if you played a record backwards. There's supposed to be something like that on stairway to heaven and judas priest almost got in trouble with the law in america (breakin the law breakin the law...sorry had to put that in) because two boys committed suicide while listening to one of their songs because apparently the record said 'do it do it' when played backwards. Anyway, Iron Maiden were mocking such things

[Deth]

Yeah, it was poking fun at the people who called Maiden satanists after The Number of the Beast.

Still Life is probably their best little known song.

newest Studio Report is up on the IMOC:
Greetings again from Maiden Central.

Another week has slipped by, and the album is prrogressing at an amazing pace - we have 2 songs finished, apart from the vocals, and they are pretty mind-blowing. The "single" I guess, was the first which features a terrific solo from Adrian and is fairly compact, along the lines of recent rockers - and the second is a tour-de-force, with a quiet intro, really great chorus, some proggy staccato riffing, a sing-along guitar melody section, and again two phenomenal solos, one from Davey and one from Adrian, which almost sounds like a fusion solo - a la John McLaughlin - amazing!



Davey is winging his way to sunny Hawai'i now, and the Wing Commander will be in today to sing, after which we'll be off to the Royal Albert Hall to see Gillan and friends, Judas Priest and the Scorpions. Even Steve is coming, whatever next? Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Janick and I went out on Wednesday night, to the local pub, and I got myself thoroughly ****-faced. Not very attractive, after which I scolded the cabby for taking me the long way home and it costing me £10 instead of the normal £5. He insisted that it was the only way, and I could never do it for £5, so I bet him £20 I could. So, he turned around, went back to the pub (with a thoroughly inebriated me in the back, and having a right old giggle) turned the meter on again, and asked me the route I'd prefer. And, he took me home again. At the front door, the meter read £5.20. So, he said "see, it's impossible for £5!!" So, I laughed and coughed up the £20, and he dug around for change, but I figured it was a fun enough cameo that I insisted he keep it.



As I got out the cab, I got a text message from Janick saying "Police have found a man's body in the park. Beer belly, wrinkly arse, small **** and a face like a slapped arse. Text me back so I know your (sic) OK." All I could text back was "I am having a bet" because I couldn't read the letters on my phone with all that whisky in me, to which he replied "Thank God you're safe, I was sure it was you!" Cheeky monkey!

And that's all really - we're working away - very diligently and moving along - and as I have said before, it is going to be stunning!!! I really love the songs and sonically, I am very pleased with where it's at, so...........



that's all - there's not much to write that isn't more of the same. Janick has more of his BB nonsense in this week.......... I'd never even heard of him!

Until next week - keep your feet on the ground and reach for the stars! Up the irons!
