Iron Maiden

[JamJar]

Cool find. Why does Adrian always look horribly spaced out?

[Josh]

Cool find. Why does Adrian always look horribly spaced out?
because he is teh pwn at playing guitar.

[ashman]

Wow that video is ace.

Been looking for it for ages. I didn't know that he detuned for some songs on BNW...

[Stormrider]

I've had the chorus to Sun and Steel in my head for a while now.

Good song.

[crag]

Wow that video is ace.

I was shocked when he said he detuned.

I've had the chorus to Sun and Steel in my head for a while now.

Good song.
Yeah, i love that song. Another underrated song from Maiden's back catalogue.

[JamJar]

I knew that Adrian sometimes detuned live but not for studio recordings.

[ashman]

Slow today again :\

[Deth]

Yes it is. I have no Maiden related news to report except that Nicko vs. Sooty is the greatest thing ever.

NP: Infinite Dreams

[-The Frank]

Well, for the last few days i have been learning mother russia, what a fun song to play.


:) going to the rolling sontes first gig in china tonight! :)

China? I'm slightly confused.

[-The Frank]

China? I'm slightly confused.
Yeah, well, im from the US, but my fathers company moved us over to Shanghai, china 10 years ago =/. But we still have our house in the US when we moved, so we spend all summer in the US.

[JamJar]

Enjoy the gig! And my beautifully packaged Death On The Road DVD arrived today. I will be watching it as soon as possible.

[-The Frank]

As soon as possible isnt quick enough............WATCH IT NOW

[JamJar]

/inserts DVD into laptop :)

[Josh]

i tried to steal Ollie's copy at school yesterday.

[Stormrider]

What happened ? :p

[Josh]

well, he showed it to me, i went to grab it, and he put it back in his bag :(

[-The Frank]

Just got back from the rolling stones gig, and my god were they amazing. Atm they rival maiden :eek:

[ashman]

That's bordering blasphemy...

[-The Frank]

^^^ aww i just cant get over how great they were, this will wear off after a few days though.... then it will be back to where nothing can touch maiden

[JamJar]

It better get back to normal otherise :smash:

[crag]

Noone has ever came remotely close to rivalling Maiden for me:)

[ashman]

Noone has ever came remotely close to rivalling Maiden for me:)

Bruce Dickinson for me :p


Seriously, some Opeth songs Rival Maiden. I only like a few Opeth songs, but the ones I like are 'kin amazing.

[crag]

:eek: Footage of Nicko with Trust (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcGZUkhKVL4&search=nicko%20mcbrain)

[JamJar]

I like other bands more than Maiden... despite what my previous post implied...

/prepares flame shield for saying that Tool are my favourite band.

[PAJJ]

:eek: Tool better than Maiden????
Sorry not in this world.

Maiden are my favourite band, live and studio.

[Josh]

Maiden ftw.
although i tend to go through phases of not listening to them a lot, very occasionally i'll go away from metal completely for a couple of days.

[Stormrider]

And what will you listen to in the meantime ?

[Josh]

And what will you listen to in the meantime ?
a range of stuff.
for example, my mp3 player fairly regularly goes from, say, Bodom to Bob Marley, or Maiden to Johnny Cash.

i listen to quite a lot of rock, punk, punk rock, pop-punk, etc, as my girlfriend only listens to a little bit of metal. and she forces me to listen to RnB as well, which i'll just about tolerate at her house, but no-where else.

[crag]

Maiden ftw.
although i tend to go through phases of not listening to them a lot, very occasionally i'll go away from metal completely for a couple of days.
I tend to stray away from Maiden every now and again, usually when i discover a new band, i always come running back to Maiden though, their music has longevity, i never seem to get bored of it.

[Josh]

i tend to do that.
today, i've been on a bit of a power metal binge, listening to Lost Horizon and Savatage all afternoon.
although i was listening to Green Day's International Superhits! earlier, i quite like their early stuff.

[JamJar]

I also tend to go away from Maiden and come back. Recently, my Maiden loving has been totally rekindled.

oh my god,great find. They really suck :lol:


anyway
Some days ill feel me less likeing maiden, and ill be like sh!t, ive put too much time and money into this band to get bored of them. Then ill put on a song i havent listened to in a while (ie.number of the beast) and then ill realize why i loved them so much.

me<3 maiden foreva~~

I thought they were pretty good:(

[ashman]

When doesn't Nicko look like he's having a good time?

[Lord Abortion]

Maiden will always be my favourite band...unless something incredible happens and there's a better band born.

My top 5 bands are

Maiden
Dream Theater
Iced Earth
Cannibal Corpse
Cradle of filth.

NP-the lot from that covers CD-Can I play with Madness?

[temporary]

Ever since my freind bought Live After Death (and subsequently lent it to me) my Maiden loving has been at an all time high.

Np: Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden (Live From LAD)

[JamJar]

Live album wise, LAD is their best, followed by RIR. LAD is amazing, highlights would have to Rime Of The Ancient Mariner and Running Free (For the hilarity of Bruce)

[pep]

Is A real live/dead one any good?

[crag]

Is A real live/dead one any good?
yes, but it's nowhere near as good as their other live DVD's.

[pep]

I was just about to grab Live after Death and some guy took the last one right in front of me :angry:

[Stormrider]

Listeing to Paschendale for the first time right now...

[Deth]

Mmmm

Such an amazing song.

[Stormrider]

Yeah, I liked it a lot :) Got me interested in Dance of Death...

NP Blind Guardian - Fly

[Riva]

Paschendale makes Dance of Death.

[Deth]

It's a very good album. I recommend it.

But get Seventh Son dammit.

[Riva]

I have every Iron Maiden studio release from the '80s and '00s.

[Deth]

Sorry, not you.

I was talking to Stormrider about his constant putting off of buying 7th Son.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

7th Son is my favourite Maiden.

[Stormrider]

I never said I wasnt going to buy 7th son Deth, where did you get that idea ? I was just stating that 7th son now seemed more interesting.

7th son is the next Maiden I'm buying, along with X - Factor.

[-The Frank]

Paschendale makes Dance of Death.


That whole album is brilliant,but yes, paschendale is a definate higlight.

[JamJar]

Dance Of Death is amazing. Face In The Sand = Maiden's most underappreciated song ever.

[-The Frank]

Dance Of Death is amazing. Face In The Sand = Maiden's most underappreciated song ever.
IMO the albums FOTD and NPFTD are both really underated on this forum.


but yes, face in the sand = pwnage

[Lord Abortion]

Good you're getting X-Factor.

[-The Frank]

Good you're getting X-Factor.
Since hes getting X-factor he should might aswell get virtual 11, to show the other side of blaze. Actually, he should just buy their whole catalougue (sp?), problem solved :)

[crag]

Paschendale, Face in the Sand, Dance of Death and Journeyman make DoD.

[Josh]

the only not-so-good song on DoD is Gates of Tomorrow. i'd say it's a bad song, but that would be a lie, as i'd only be comparing it to other maiden efforts and not to other bands' music, which it's way better than.

[crag]

There are no Maiden songs that i'd class as bad.

[Josh]

nah, just below average. maiden's worse songs are still way better than most other bands could manage, ever.

[JamJar]

the only not-so-good song on DoD is Gates of Tomorrow. i'd say it's a bad song, but that would be a lie, as i'd only be comparing it to other maiden efforts and not to other bands' music, which it's way better than.

I like Gates Of Tommorow :(. The guitar melodies own me.

[-The Frank]

same here, except i do skip it :cool:

gates of tommorrws intro is almost the same as lord of the flies :confused:

[crag]

: gates of tommorrws intro is almost the same as lord of the flies :confused:
:eek: so it is, i never noticed that before, i still like the song though.

[Deth]

Well Face in the Sand's intro is like Blood Brothers.

[Deth]

What's Stevey doing in a train station? :p

Lucky boy.

[crag]

:eek: word's cannot express how jealous i am of you.

[alexmonty12]

It was last year, 25th June, the day of the great Iron Maiden concert over in Paris, as part of their Golden Days tour, and down at the Kent EuroStar train station Steve Harris was getting on the same train as us to go to the exact same place. God knows why he wasn't with the other boys of Iron Maiden and getting a train over, but it was pretty damn fortunate he was :D

I guess you can afford to use transport like that when you're not that publically well known. Metal bands don't often get as noticed as more main-stream artists. As I was running back with my friends to our section of the platform, one woman stopped and asked me who he was :lol:

Holy ****! I am jealous.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, I was reading an interview with Bruce when he was getting a train somewhere...I forget where...

[PAJJ]

Was that bruce catching the train to metal hammer's golden gods. Where most other arrived in limos, horse drawn carridge/hurse etc..., and bruce came on the train.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, that it was.

[Stormrider]

Good you're getting X-Factor.

I sure am. Should have bought it on cavation when I had the money. Remember that long *** conversation on which Maiden album I should get in the PM thread a while ago :p

Yeah, I remember that. Oh what a hoot :lol:

[Lord Abortion]

Just finished watching DOTR.

Bruce introduces FOTD with the worst joke ever on that...

It wasn't as good as what he did for us;
"Light goes on, light goes off....Just like that, Fear of the dark."

[-The Frank]

What was the quote like on DOTR. Also, how was pschendale and dance of death ?

[Lord Abortion]

It was "Doctor doctor, I can't stand bright lights...why not? Fear of the dark"

Doesn't even make sense...
DOD and paschendale are predictably awesome.

NP-Thin Lizzy-The boys are back in town(live):cool:

[-The Frank]

:lol: wtf

in your oppinion, DOTR or RIR?








i<3 thin lizzy

[Lord Abortion]

That's tough... I prefer RIR at the moment...but only just.

[-The Frank]

The one thing i really love about RiR is the intro+the wickerman combination, i always get goosebumps when they all jump in. How does wildest dreams+intro rate on a goosebump factor?
1-10

[Lord Abortion]

I'd give it a good 7.5-8

[-The Frank]

I'd give it a good 7.5-8
Sounds like good stuff, i still have to wait till late may till i can get my hands on one :(

[crag]

Sounds like good stuff, i still have to wait till late may till i can get my hands on one :(
Wow, that sucks.

/has had DotR since Feb 6th:p

[JamJar]

RIR > DOTR mainly because of the best setlist ever. Sign Of The Cross, The Clansman and Dream of mirrors in one show is unbelieveable.

[pep]

Actually, thats why I didnt like RiR that much. It was cool, but some of those songs were too long for my taste when I watched it for the first time. Maybe now I´ll like it more.

[JamJar]

I'm generally a prog head and really appreciate the more lengthy pieces.

[temporary]

Meh, my only problem with RiR (and DotR) is that they're aren't enough oldies like Killers, Die With Your Boots On, or Powerslave, all of which I think would be amazing live. But its still one of the best damn music DVDs I've ever seen (I gave it a five in my Sputnik review.)

Another question: I already own the CD for DotR, is it worth it getting the DVD?

Edit: Yeah, I agree with JamJar, I love it when Maiden shows their prog colors.

[JamJar]

The DotR DVD is worth it enough to see them play the DoD songs.

I totally agree with you, some oldies would make them better.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, I really want to see some of the less well known songs on the next tour.

[blackthorne]

is it just me or in DoTR does dave's guitar seem much quiter than the others.....

[JamJar]

is it just me or in DoTR does dave's guitar seem much quiter than the others.....

If you're talking about the DVD then the guitars are totally screwed unless I play them through my laptop. On the sterio version, you can barely hear Janick's and on the Surround Sound version, Dave's and Janick's are quiet.

[ashman]

Yeah, because H's is the center channel, so he seems louder.

[Prince of Darkness]

Ok, so I'm seeing Maiden live in December. Amazing.

But...

I have no albums of them! Only like 30 loose songs. No albums. Which albums do you guys recommend? I like:

The Wicker Man
Aces High
Number of the Beast
The Nomad
The Mercenary
Run to the Hills(duh)
Hallowed by thy Name
Two Minutes to Midnight

Yeah, so those are my favourite songs. What's the first album I should get?
or download.

[JamJar]

Brave New World, Number Of The Beast or Powerslave should start you off well. Make sure you buy them... or else.

EDIT: And cool avatar you got.

[Lord Abortion]

I would Recommend Seventh son, Piece of Mind and The X-Factor.

[Stormrider]

Ollie, are those you're favorite Maiden albums ?

Sorry if you've said this before, I havn't been posting in this thread for a long time.

[Lord Abortion]

Ollie, are those you're favorite Maiden albums ?

Sorry if you've said this before, I havn't been posting in this thread for a long time.
Yeah, but not in that order,

1.POM
2.X-factor
3.Seventh son/Brave New World

[Stormrider]

Hmm OK. I have POM and NOTB. so far...

[JamJar]

The absence of Powerslave in your top 3 disturbs me.

[Josh]

'sup guys. been away all day, but the newest diary is up:
Kevin Shirley's Studio Diary #4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello, Maiden fans. I'm sorry that some of you disapprove of my diary's content, and I do care, but really - what can I tell you. Song titles, NO; lyrics, NO; album title, NO - so bear with me as I attempt to interest you with the little I can share. By the way, it cost me $3000 to have you all hit my site - so that's no reason for me to do it - I don't hear a great call to sell Caveman t-shirts and soap-on-a-rope on my website. All that said - here's what happened...

A GREAT WEEK!!!!!
Bruce came in and sang three songs over two days - very well too! He cycles in on his bike - about 4 o'clock and leaves about 8 - and we're glad to see him go when he finally packs his bags, as the last hour is always spent listening to a discourse on planes and flight patterns and various other topics that he's very well versed in! I compiled the lead vocals from about 3 - 6 tracks depending on the sections of the songs I was concentrating on. I used about 80% of the original live tracking vocal, cut when the band cut the basic tracks - and there's a magic spirit on them! The three amigos, Adrian, Davey and Jan also came in - Jan did an amazing solo - filled with his trademark
"Blackmoresque" licks and some awesome wild whammy bar nonsense, Adrian did one of his note-perfect precision solos and Davey rolled out some of his fluid and flighty solos, and we have finished 3 of the 10 album tracks - AND mixed two!! Finished! FINAL MIXES! the album opener, and rocker single,and a great durgy track with an evil 7/8 groove! * We are so far ahead of schedule - Steve's bass sounds totally sick, he says he's never been happier with how the band, his bass, and the album is sounding - and I think this could be as big as anything they've ever recorded. It's definitely the high point of our relationship - that is Maiden with me producing.

And that is what happened in the studio. Bruce likes to suck on the caramel from Twix bars, after removing both the chocolate and the biscuit first; Steve eats pasta for dinner - with cream, pesto and bacon - every night! - and guards his private life strongly (adamant that he wants to keep me away from his 21 year old daughter, who is gorgeous and a really good singer!); Adrian has me scour Google maps for good fishing sites and hears tuning problems all over the place, where there are none (I think he'd even drive perfectionist producer Mutt Lange crazy); and Jan goes to the footy and on the piss with his mate, Ginger Mick, and doesn't seem to give a toss about anything. He
likes to be away from home cos his wife loads him up with manual chores, which he does but hates doing! Sensibly, they like to watch their pennies, and I guess that's how you get to keep 'em. I, on the other hand, am a spendthrift! Bruce is Bruce - the one, the only! Lovable, irreplaceable, unique and an incredible voice! That's the way Maiden should be!

I work hard in the studio, and play hard. Always have - and my evenings are generally spent drinking with much younger friends, who have me pay and like to imbibe to absolute inebriation! Just last night I had to rescue a totally inebriated young lady from the London School of Economics who had gone "coma" in the ladies bathroom of the London Soho House! On Tuesday, I took Drew and Alex out drinking - Drew was sick for two days, and Alex was beyond useless the next day. Pathetic! 'Arry maintains it's my fault because I took them young 'uns out - wha'evah!

And that's all - off to the studio. Tomorrow I'm going to bicycle to Brighton - about 65 miles, or 100kms - and tonight I am going to see a William Blake thingy at some gallery.

I have no new pictures, so have included this one. "Arry says his arse isn't as small anymore! It's an image from the new Ross Halfin book on Maiden, I believe!

Take care - Up The Irons!

[temporary]

Hmm OK. I have POM and NOTB. so far...

Get Powerslave, ASAP. That or any of their other albums (except maybe No Prayer For The Dieing) seriously, the worst album Maiden ever turned out wasn't even bad just...average.

Great news in the diary entry, two final mixes sounds awsome.

[Lord Abortion]

If that sounded any cooler, I would be changing my pants again.

[Deth]

omg splooge.

I'm so excited.

[ashman]

I wanna know song names...NOW!

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Hmm OK. I have POM and NOTB. so far...
Powerslave and Seventh Son next.

[Riva]

And then Somewhere In Time, which is a great album.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

That's the only pre-7th son Maiden album I'm missing.

[Riva]

Poor show, Jono. I got given it to me by my girlfriend. That and Seventh Son.

[-The Frank]

And then Somewhere In Time, which is a great album.

I'd actually wait before getting that album, for me, it was the hardest album getting into. But once you get into it, its awesome.

TLOALDR = pwnage

Hmm OK. I have POM and NOTB. so far...

Before you buy the XFactor or SSOAS, you should really get both dianno albums.

except maybe No Prayer For The Dieing) seriously, the worst album Maiden ever turned out wasn't even bad just...average.

NPFTD>FOTD

truth. :thumb:

[Riva]

I prefer Fear of the Dark. I remember the crap I got from the old school Maiden crew for like The Apparition. :p

[JamJar]

...with an evil 7/8 groove!

Wooh! Signs of more prog.

I prefer FOTD to NPFTD and Somewhere in time is indeed hard to get into but is so worth it.

[crag]

and we have finished 3 of the 10 album tracks - AND mixed two!! Finished! FINAL MIXES! the album opener, and rocker single,and a great durgy track with an evil 7/8 groove!
:eek: :eek: :eek:


NPFTD and FOTD are my 2 least favourite Maiden albums. As great as they are they've just got nothing on the other albums. Although having said that i've become quite taken with Running Silent Running Deep recently.

[Riva]

Be Quick or Be Dead and From Here To Eternity are instant classics.

[Josh]

BQOBD and FHTE are sooo awesome, then Afraid to Shoot Strangers pwns, and personally i love Judas Be By Guide.

FOTD > NPFD.

[-The Frank]

Be Quick or Be Dead and From Here To Eternity are instant classics.

Ugh, from here to enternity really bothers me =/

[Josh]

Ugh, from here to enternity really bothers me =/
/e-slap!
i like it.

[-The Frank]

/e-slap!
i like it.

Its funny becasue one of my actual favorites off that album is 'chains of misery' :p

[Josh]

Chains of Misery is a good song.

[-The Frank]

Chains of Misery is a good song.
I was just comparin it to FHTE becasue it has that ACDC style chourse.....Anyway that whole albums really great. IMO judas my guide steals it completely. FoTD is just meh studio wise. Another one of my favorites though is childhoods end, the drum beat is just sooo awesome.

Also, the fugitive i really enjoy, kind of makes me think of the mercenary.....

[temporary]

BQOBD and FHTE are sooo awesome, then Afraid to Shoot Strangers pwns, and personally i love Judas Be By Guide.

FOTD > NPFD.

Agreed, Judas Be My Guide is own of their most underrated songs.

[Lord Abortion]

Chains of misery is excellent.

[Josh]

IMO, Judas Be My Guide shows off a much darker side of Bruce, how he almost growls all the verses, then the perfectly clean choruses.
plus, the song has 3 separate solos :cool:

[JamJar]

Another one of my favorites though is childhoods end, the drum beat is just sooo awesome.

I <3 that song. The guitar melody slays me. FotD is overall very good.

[the_uber_penguin]

It's wierd.

I got my Iron Maiden ticket free, yet I've been feeling oddly depressed lately.

So confusing.

Maybe it's because I was at a Placebo gig last night.

[Prince of Darkness]

So who's going to the second Earls Court gig in December?

[JamJar]

I think I'm going to the first one. I can't actually remember which one I'm going to.

[Josh]

free...ticket....?!?!?!

[the_uber_penguin]

Not entirely free.

I got a £50 Ticketmaster voucher for by birthday, which covered the cost of the ticket, and my friends ticket. He's paying me back for his ticket, leaving me £20 in the black to pay for my transport to and from the show (i.e. train and tube fares) and get something to eat after/drink during the show.

:D

Still feeling oddly depressed, and I have no idea why. Placebo are a good band live...

get a girlfriend. i've been ridiculously happy for most of the last month and a bit for that reason. and i'm slowly turning her onto metal...she likes Rainmaker, i made her listen to it on this radio blog thing she goes on, when i was at hers yesterday \m/

EDIT: or listen to shitloads of power metal, Rhapsody always cheers me up. it must be the really cheesy voiceovers.

[blue3]

Listening to hair metal makes me happy. But I think that's just me, haha.

[JamJar]

Eww... Hair Metal. Power Metal makes me happy.

[Riva]

Listening to music makes me happy :)

I'm working on the first three words.

There was a very hot girl there I was chatting to. We were getting on so well and flirting like anything, then her friend stole her for a few minutes, then she came back to in front of me, and sent a text, then told me apolagetically:
"My friend told me to text my boyfriend."

Me: "Ah."

Her: "She's [her friend is] very overprotective."



Yeah, singleness sucks.

Rhapsody...are they the band I saw on Slovak TV when I was in Slovakia about 18 months ago, who had Christopher Lee do a line of the song?

They were awesome!

[Lord Abortion]

Listening to music makes me happy :)

NP: Galloglass - Ancient Times
Especially Galloglass,cause they rule.

Her: "She's [her friend is] very overprotective."



Yeah, singleness sucks.



Being in a relationship is like the calm before the storm. Things are good for a few months and then everything goes wrong...

/still hating women after like 5 Months of abstination


Rhapsody...are they the band I saw on Slovak TV when I was in Slovakia about 18 months ago, who had Christopher Lee do a line of the song?

They were awesome!

Yeah, I think that is Rhapsody.

[Josh]

Galloglass pwn. i really should buy Legends From Now And Nevermore.

on the girl thing: i was at a party in february, i can't remember most of it. but i came home with a phone number, she started emailing me, and so on.

yeh it is Rhapsody who get Christopher Lee to do the voiceovers, hehe. so cheesy, yet so great.

[-The Frank]

Girls laugh at me when i say i like iron maiden :(

[crag]

Most people laugh at me when i say i like Maiden:(

one of my favourites.
Crag's friend: ''what are you listening to?''
Crag: ''Iron Maiden''
Crag's friend: ''what are you listening to a bunch of old people for''
Crag: '':eek: :mad: :angry:''

[Josh]

heh, my gf liked Rainmaker :cool:, so i'm gonna get her listening to more and more and more metal.....
although at the moment her music taste could be worse, it's a lot of pop-punk stuff and too much hideous dance and r+b, so that's the bit i'm working on.

people used to wind me up for listening to maiden by saying they were crap and old, then i pointed out that they still have top 10 albums, and are still touring after getting on for 30 years, and have one of the world's largest fan-bases ever. then they shut up.

[-The Frank]

So, all my iron maiden on computer just got deleted......................:eek:

[Josh]

So, all my iron maiden on computer just got deleted......................:eek:
how/why/who/kill them.

[-The Frank]

Since i only have 27mb on my C:drive (:(), i ddecided i would move all my maiden to the D:drive, and ta da, it all got deleted for some reason.


****!!!!

[Josh]

not good.
i only store my music on my mp3 player, so if i lose that...
but i'm getting an external hard drive this summer (300gb :cool: ) so all my music can go on there.

[-The Frank]

So, im on the process of putting all this crap back on,i guess ill be having a late night.............

[Josh]

heh, ripping loads of music sucks.
i left my mp3 player on all night, after i'd been listening to it in bed. now i'm having to charge it again, grr. i thought i turned it off before i went to sleep :(

[-The Frank]

So, i was thinking about this yesterday for the golden years tour. Since on SSOASS and world slavery tour, they played ROTM and SSOASS, do you think we'll get both those durring the golden years tours?
If so :eek:

[Josh]

quite possibly. i may take a spare pare of boxers to that tour, just in case i cream myself. although i'd rather have Powerslave than SSOASS.

[-The Frank]

As long as they play ROTM! I would actually like to see them try flash of the blaed out live.....

[JamJar]

Do you think that they might just possibly put the Live After Death concert on the Golden Years DVD... that would make everyone cream their pants.

And Flash Of The Blade would be amazing live. The guitar harmonies. :drools:

[-The Frank]

Do you think that they might judt possibly put the Live After Death concert on the Golden Years DVD... that would make everyone cream their pants.

I would think so, that and maiden england :chug:

[rik]

Meh, i've been with my girlfriend for a year and 3 months today, being in a relationship is awesome.

She doesn't really like my maiden t-shirts which picture Eddie though. And she's constantly going on at me about the fact that one day I will have a tattoo of Eddie.

[crag]

/expects that Maiden England and LAD will be on the Golden Years DVD

[-The Frank]

/expects that Maiden England and LAD will be on the Golden Years DVD

Maiden england=best maiden live concert (recorded), hands down.

[JamJar]

I saw Maiden England in a used VHS shop once when I was first getting into Maiden but I didn't have enough money and I've never seen it anywhere since. :(

[-The Frank]

I saw Maiden England in a used VHS shop once when I was first getting into Maiden but I didn't have enough money and I've never seen it anywhere since. :(
:eek:

cool that a shop had it, not cool that you didnt buy it

i had to download it :(

[Josh]

i think Ollie bought a copy on VHS off amazon.

[JamJar]

I can't find it on there. I'll probably end up ebaying it but there's a LAD VHS on there I'm interested in at the moment.

[Deth]

I want Maiden England. I've never seen it :(.

[Josh]

i've never seen it, but it's meant to be awesome.

[rik]

Gah, for some reason Where Eagles Dare has just disappeared from my computer. The rest of Piece of mind is there but Where Eagles Dare has just gone.

Would someone kindly upload it for me please (preferably yousendit :thumb:)

[Deth]

Sure.

E-mail?

[rik]

rik_coe@hotmail.co.uk

Thanks a lot man, really appreciate it.

[Deth]

[Josh]

i think us lot should all nominate each other in the RMOTY competition. i already put forward Crag and ashman, and i'm gonna put down Deth, rik, JamJar and -The Frank as well.

/feels rejected cos not nominated yet :p

[JamJar]

[Josh]

[JamJar]

/masters the Afraid To Shoot Strangers solos.

[temporary]

Hey, I've got Maiden England on my computer (downloaded it less than legally.) Anybody want an upload?

I'm pretty sure both that and LAD will be on the Golden Years DVD.

[JamJar]

Wow! That's cool.

fuzz_meister@hotmail.com

Cheers

[alexmonty12]

Hey, I've got Maiden England on my computer (downloaded it less than legally.) Anybody want an upload?

[temporary]

I'd love that! if you need an email for it it's alexmonty12@hotmail.com

What will you be uploading it on?

Yousendit. It may take a while to upload, but I'll get it off to you guys once its done. Also, its missing the tracks Still Life, Die With Your Boots On, and The Prisoner, which kinda sucks. Fortunetly, you can find two of them on Youtube (but still no Still Life...)

[JamJar]

Wow, I've just found the VHS for Maiden England on ebay for £3.99 buy it now. *dances*

[crag]

i think us lot should all nominate each other in the RMOTY competition. i already put forward Crag and ashman, and i'm gonna put down Deth, rik, JamJar and -The Frank as well.

/feels rejected cos not nominated yet :p

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, I was just thinking about that a while ago, I suspect the next DVD will be Maiden England and LAD with some extra stuff in't middle.

[-The Frank]

Yeah, I was just thinking about that a while ago, I suspect the next DVD will be Maiden England and LAD with some extra stuff in't middle.

Let us all pray for somewhre on tour footage.

They'll probably put 'behind the iron curtain' in there aswell

[Josh]

/made the list :)

so yeh, all you maidenite spamwhores, what's up today?
i'm listening to FOTD for the first time in a while all the way through, normally i just get odd songs off it on my mp3 player.

is Behind The Iron Curtain a B-side?

[Corkofski]

i have maiden england vhs.

dumb question, is it rare or something? i "borrowed" it off my mate...

[Stormrider]

Someone in this thread had send me a few songs fromt the album X - Factor...and I hadn't listened to them because I didn't have WinRar. Got it a few days ago, And I'm going to listen to those songs. I'll tell you guys after what I think.

EDIT: I liked them, I'll have to listen to them again.

NP Paschendale...I rather this :p

[rik]

i think us lot should all nominate each other in the RMOTY competition. i already put forward Crag and ashman, and i'm gonna put down Deth, rik, JamJar and -The Frank as well.

/feels rejected cos not nominated yet :p
Heh, thanks man. I'll go do you lot now.

[Josh]

most of us are all in that list now :)
i'm listening to RiR for the first time in god knows how long, i'd almost forgotten how awesome it is.

[Stormrider]

RiR ? :(

My mind is blank all of a sudden.

NP Iron Savior - Forevermore

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Rock In Rio?

[Josh]

yeh, Rock In Rio. such an awesome live album, the emotion that Janick manages to put into the final solo in Blood Brothers is amazing. infact, i'm just onto that song now :)

[Stormrider]

Ah Rock in Rio. I had watched a part of the DVD with my friend las time. Far from the whole thing though, just a few parts from a few songs.

NP Iron Savior - Wings of Deliverance

[Josh]

i don't generally watch dvds, as i like to have music on while i'm doing something else, like how i'm on here / doing coursework at the moment.

[alexmonty12]

I have the Rock In Rio Double CD, and I think it's pretty awesome, although I don't like how they slowed down Iron Maiden

[alexmonty12]

Yousendit. It may take a while to upload, but I'll get it off to you guys once its done. Also, its missing the tracks Still Life, Die With Your Boots On, and The Prisoner, which kinda sucks. Fortunetly, you can find two of them on Youtube (but still no Still Life...)ahh that's cool, I won't be able to get it until Monday when i'm back home on my own PC tho :(

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I don't really watch music DVDs often either.

[Josh]

holy crap, i'd forgotten how insane Nicko's bass beat is in the live version of Dream of Mirrors :eek: it's incredible for a single pedal!

[rik]

^^ It sure is, I was mentioning that the other day in the drum forum. People are always missing out Dream of Mirrors when talking about how awesome Nicko's right foot is.

[Deth]

Am I too late for Maiden England? eddiesminion@gmail.com if I'm not.

Dream of Mirrors is an extremely underrated track.

[blackthorne]

if maiden englands still going out blackthorn574592@aol.com

[crag]

I love Dream Of Mirrors, Nicko is amazing in that song.

[ashman]

I've rekindled my love for the ST album.

Transylvania and Strangeworld <3

[Josh]

i was listening to the Iced Earth cover of Transylvania the other day, and while it's technically great, it just isn't the same without Steve's awesome bass in it, driving it along.

i drove down to my gfs last night with POTO blaring out of my awesome sound system. made me drive far too fast, i was braking for corners that you can take at 60mph!

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've never been a huge fan of the ST, to be honest.

/runs

[Deth]

It's my favorite of the first 3 albums, and depending on my mood first 4.

[Josh]

s/t > NOTB = Killers (IMO).
PoM > the other 3 :p

[ashman]

s/t > NOTB = Killers (IMO).
PoM > the other 3 :p

I left uni because of the maths, don't be bringing that stuff in here :mad:

[Josh]

I left uni because of the maths, don't be bringing that stuff in here :mad:
:eek: you left in the end?!

[temporary]

Sorry that Maiden England hasn't been sent out yet. Yousendit was taking forever with uploading it, and then my damn internet went down (its been doing that every few hours, stupid Comcast.) Anyways, I'm trying again, hope to have it out to you soon.

Oh, and for the record: Killers>NOTB=s/t. Killers is just so amazing...

[ashman]

:eek: you left in the end?!

Well Technically I'm still at uni, realistically, I haven't been since Febuary :lol:

IMO

ST>NOTB>Killers... I'm starting to likey Dianno.

[crag]

Killers>ST>>>NotB

I really like Paul's Killers band stuff. On Marshall Lockjaw it sounds like he's singing ''i am the warm potato'':p

[Josh]

out of all the albums, BNW > SiT >> the others :p

[alexmonty12]

Woah NoB is my favourite out of the first four albums!

Pretty Tough choice between the other three actually, but i'd say s/t>Killers>PoM

[crag]

BNW>SiT>X-Factor>SSoaSS>Powerslave>PoM>DoD>Killers>ST>Virtual XI>NotB>NPftD>FotD

:)

[Josh]

i'm burning all of the maiden live albums i don't own onto cd right now, just so i can listen to them properly :)

/has no life.

/but still can't be arsed to do what Crag did :p

[JamJar]

I'll do what Crag did because I'm bored.

Powerslave > DoD > BNW > SSOASS > TXF > POM > SIT > Killers > ST > FOTD > TNOTB > NPFTD > VXI

[Josh]

wow, LAD sounds so much better on my stereo than on my mp3 player headphones. i'm up to Revelations now \m/

[Lord Abortion]

There is no point in getting it if there is no Still life.

I have the vid anyhoo.

[Auronthewarrior]

OMGOMGOMOGOMOGMOMGOMG OMGOMGOMG I LOVE IROON MAIDEN *cries*


anyone know when they are going to release a new cd?

[JamJar]

^This autumn I believe.

[Auronthewarrior]

:D:D NICEE! how do u know?

[JamJar]

Kevin Shirler (I think) has been posting web diaries of the recording process and we were told eariler in the year that the album is happening and it's going to be a concept album.

[ashman]

It's Kevin 'Caveman' Shirley :p

[Deth]

I believe we were also told that it will kick our collective asses. But that may just be me talking.

[-The Frank]

/made the list :)

so yeh, all you maidenite spamwhores, what's up today?
i'm listening to FOTD for the first time in a while all the way through, normally i just get odd songs off it on my mp3 player.

is Behind The Iron Curtain a B-side?

behind the iron curtain is a 30 minute video of the band 'behind the iron curtain' of russia (first band to do so i believe), alot of it is just them talking with fans and then you get 5 songs (or is it 3?) of them playing in one of moscows arenas. This was all on the wwolrd savery tour btw.

heres a maiden fan link:
http://www.maidenfans.com/imc/?url=video03_ironcurtain/video03_ironcurtain&lang=eng&link=videos

and for the record S/T=Killers>NoTB

[Riva]

That's not far away, really. I hope it's more Brave New World and less Dance Of Death. Both are good, but I think the former more parallels their '80s work.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

BNW and DOD have never really stood out to me. The just seem to lack something IMO.

[crag]

BNW is the greatest album ever made by anyone, anywhere IMO.

[Josh]

BNW is the best maiden album they've yet released. i mean, it has Ghost of the Navigator, Brave New World, Dream of Mirrors, Out of the Silent Planet, Blood Brothers....those tracks are my favourites, but the others are still great, although IMO The Nomad drags on a bit.

[the_uber_penguin]

Agree with you 100%, Josh.

The Nomad does drag, but it's still awesome. I love the cheesiness of the line "Legend has it that you speak an ancient tongue/ But no one's spoke to you and lived to tell the tale."

I was disappointed not to hear more the 2nd half of the album on RiR: The Fallen Angel and OotSP specifically.

NP - Rhapsody, Lord Of The Thunder

[-The Frank]

I think DoD is one of my favorite maiden albums (if not my favorite), but BNW comes in at a very close second. But both are brilliant albums anyway.

[Surtr]

BNW is probably my favorite, then DoD..Then SSOASS?

[Josh]

i have officially decided that BNW now has 2nd place, and Somewhere in Time has the top spot now :p
as there's no songs on SiT that i think are average, whereas i do think that about The Nomad on BNW :p

[ashman]

:eek: Nomads ace

[PAJJ]

I think DoD is one of my favorite maiden albums (if not my favorite), but BNW comes in at a very close second. But both are brilliant albums anyway.

I agree with this guy.

[the_uber_penguin]

I don't entirely agree with Frank. I didn't really like Gates Of Tomorrow ever, except for the first guitar solo (which is cool: the first note sounds like someone treading on a cat :D ) and New Frontier, despite its catchy chorus has boring verses and lyrics that are way off the mark.

[Deth]

Same with me. Two of the weakest tracks I've heard from the mighty Maiden.

[-The Frank]

^ i agree with the GoT comment but, BNW drags on a bit IMO, where as DoD get rights to the point and keeps you interested throughout. But like i said before i <3 both those albums dearly

[jimmypumpkin]

Iron Maiden. What can I say about these guys that hasn't been said before. Basicaly a phenomonal metal band that consistently puts out good albums and a band who's intensity never seems to fade. By far the best live band i've ever witnessed, and i've witnessed many. Signature sound, excellent musicianship, all around great band.

P.S- I even like the Blaze stuff. Killers is my favorite maiden album but I think Piece of mind best represents them.

Up the irons- forever and ever..
