Yeah, curse those release dates.

I <3 Strange world

Ash, we know you're too Manly for us to believe that excuse:p

[pep]

I bought the Raising Hell dvd with the magician and all that, and I noticed that during one of the magicians acts when he was going to whip a girl the music on the back was the intro riff of The Wickerman i think. And Cacophony appeared on the credits :confused:

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

im so excited i cant wait 2 see maiden in december!!!!!!!!! wooooo!!

sorry had to get it out of me...

[Deth]

Is that any good? It sounded interesting but I have no idea how it would be pulled off.

[pep]

Its ok, good show, although i had some trouble with the audio. In the dolby 5.1 version I couldnt hear Bruce. Sometimes the Illusionist guy was a bit annoying, and the solos are kinda sloppy on some songs, but im satisfied with it.

[Josh]

i need a new copy of DoD, my one is now scratched to hell. it's fine until Paschendale ends, it sticks there and won't play Face In The Sand :( all the other songs are fine though.

[Riva]

I hate buying new versions of scratched CDs. It seems a waste. :(

[Josh]

i know. i may just make a copy, and keep it in the case with the original.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, I find I don't need to do that, since most of my CDs get ripped to the computer and rarely leave the cases ever again.

[Josh]

i rip mine, put them on my mp3 player, then listen to them most on my stereo, my mp3 player's just for in my car / on the bus / if i want music when i'm out somewhere.

NP: Judas Priest - Hell Patrol \m/

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Hell Patrol \m/

Possibly my favourite album ever. (it alternates between that and Rust In Peace)

[Lord Abortion]

They're in my top 10, it has to be said

[Josh]

Painkiller is my only Priest album, but i love it.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

You should really get Stained Class and Screaming For Vengeance, but anyway this is the Maiden thread.

I am completely and utterly addicted to The Trooper. I have listened to it so much lately it's rediculous.

[Josh]

when Painkiller finishes i may put on Piece of Mind, such an awesome album.

my copy of Somewhere in Time has disappeared, i need to make another one.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I still need to get Somewhere In Time. It's the only album of their first 7 I don't have :(

[Josh]

i don't own it.
the maiden albums i own are:
S/T, NOTB, PoM, Powerslave, FOTD, RiR, Edward the Great, DoD. although i have copies of everything except Beast over Hammersmith, Best of the Beast, and Best of the B-Sides.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I own Piece of Mind, Powerslave, 7th Son and Killers. The rest (FOTD, DOTR, DOD, BNW, NOTB, Self-Titled) I got from the local library (!).

[Lord Abortion]

I need those last 3 too.
Although Ash uploaded alot of random stuff a while ago.

British Steel is a must.

Grinder owns my soul.

[Josh]

your library is too metal \m/
i don't even know if the library here does cds, i stopped going years ago because it was crap.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've quite a few other albums from their too. Priest, Nile, Opeth, Emperor, Death, Obituary among others.

[Josh]

so you literally borrow albums from there, and keep them for as long as you like? or do you just borrow them and copy them?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Borrow and rip them.

[Josh]

ah, i see.

good news everyone:

Greetings folks - well, not much diary this week as it was a very short week.

We worked Monday to Wednesday, and while it was constructive, it was more of the same. I have four songs mixed for the album, which I've told you is going to have 10 songs in the end. There is a fifth on the console, which Steve is going to sing some backing vocals and play some keyboards on today - and then I'll print the mix, which will leave us another nine tracks to finish, five for the album as well as the four extra tracks for B-sides, etc.

I think the album has a name, but I haven't been told it - and those lame MP3s going around the internet which someone is insisting are leaked Maiden tracks are just bogus - anyone with an ear should know that - ****, even a deaf Ed-head would know that!

Monday, Steve and I work on a couple of tracks, Jan came in and played some guitar parts - a lead harmony here, reinforcing an intro melody there, basically bringing everything up to speed to mix, which I've done. Adrian was in to sing a backing vocal along with Steve, and Wing Commander Biggles was in Wednesday for two lead vocals - before I had to rush to the airport to get a late night flight to Rome - for the Easter break. Actually, I am using 90% of Bruce's original tracking vocals, which have have their own unique spirit when he sings live with the band. I'm just using the new vocals for an occasional lyric mix-up or a melody change, but they're basically his live takes! And that's not me being lazy, I fully expected to use more of the redone vocals, but the live ones are killer!

And that's it....... I feel energized from the Easter break, I have to confess I was shattered by Wednesday night, but am back up to speed and chomping at the bit to get back to the studio today - I write this on an early morning Alitalia flight from Rome to Heathrow somewhere over snow-capped Alps, and once I grab the Heathrow Express, I should be in the studio by 10am, and back to work by 10.01.

And that's really all there is to say - take care - Up The Irons!

www.cavemanproductions.com

mmm...keyboards...
and lots of backing vocals :)

[Lord Abortion]

Progtacular!

[crag]

and those lame MP3s going around the internet which someone is insisting are leaked Maiden tracks are just bogus
:lol: i heard one of those last week. It was so unlike Maiden it was unbelieveable.

[Deth]

The most annoying thing is that I know the release date will be later for the US. I can't wait :(.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The most annoying thing is that I know the release date will be later for the US. I can't wait
lol sux2bu

wherever there be Priest discussion, Deth cometh.

[Deth]

I have over 500 posts in this thread that are Priest free, I'll have you know.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

pfft, lies!

\m/

<3

[Deth]

Way to kill the thread.

So, I watched the second half of Death on the Road on Googlevideo. Good stuff.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

lol.

I just woke up, and theres only one more post :p

I only have the audio of Death On The Road so far. I don't really like DVDs all that much.

[Deth]

I like live DVDs alot. I have about 10 or so. Usually I only buy ones with full concerts as opposed to live videos put together *glares at Mastodon*.

[the_uber_penguin]

That said, I would have enjoyed to see them include other songs they played live from other dates:

For example, RiR would have been so much better if they'd included live videos of The Fallen Angel, OotSP and The Nomad (they didn't play TTLBLAH) from other dates in the special features for the older fans who already have 5-10 live versions of Hallowed Be Thy Name.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I like live DVDs alot. I have about 10 or so. Usually I only buy ones with full concerts as opposed to live videos put together *glares at Mastodon*.
It's not that I don't like them, but I always find I never watch them much, and always just skip through to part of a song or something.

Live albums are better IMO.

[Lord Abortion]

There can never be enough versions of hallowed be thy name.

[Stormrider]

I've only heard one and a half. If there one on Rock in Rio DVD, I probably watched a part of it.

[crag]

I agree here, as much as i like the classics, having a different version of them on every live CD and DVD that i own is rather annoying.

[JamJar]

I prefer live DVDs to CDs as you get more of a feel as to what the concert was actually like. Both Maiden DVDs I have (RiR, DotR) are incredible which is helped greatly by the visuals. Although that said, LAD is total awsomeness just as a CD.

[temporary]

Sorry guys, but I still haven't gotten Maiden England. My internet has been down, but I'm uploading it now.

[the_uber_penguin]

I have the funny feeling that the lines "JamJar/ It's a mango!" are somewhere in the Arctic Monkeys song, I Bet That You Look Good On The Dance Floor

[Lord Abortion]

I have the funny feeling that the lines "JamJar/ It's a mango!" are somewhere in the Arctic Monkeys song, I Bet That You Look Good On The Dance Floor
I should cast thee out for knowing that song

[Rattlehead]

I should cast thee out for knowing that song
you should. blasphemy indeed, in a rock and metal forum...:eek:

[the_uber_penguin]

Pleh. So I'm eclectic.

Iron Maiden still rule all (except Beethoven :p )

[Riva]

The Arctic Monkeys are great though.

I'd prefer live DVDs, but live CDs are more versatile.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Live CDs get waayyy more usage from me.

[Rattlehead]

i like imagining stageplay when listening to live soundtracks.

[Josh]

live cds > live dvds.

and the Arctic Monkeys suck a$s.

what thread got deleted that made me lose 500+ posts? i was nearly at 4k :(

[ashman]

The Arctic Monkeys are great though.

I'd prefer live DVDs, but live CDs are more versatile.

No, Arctic Monkeys are Bastards, they stole an Ice Bucket from work! Do you know how annoying it is to run a big bar with only one Ice Bucket?!?! Eh? Do ya?

:lol:

[JamJar]

I have the funny feeling that the lines "JamJar/ It's a mango!" are somewhere in the Arctic Monkeys song, I Bet That You Look Good On The Dance Floor

Wah! Bruce says 'it's a mango' on one of the Easter eggs on the RiR DVD :angry:

[Happy]

I don't remember that bit.

I need to look for it tonight.

[crag]

Wah! Bruce says 'it's a mango' on one of the Easter eggs on the RiR DVD :angry:
:lol:i remember it, there's a mango on the ground and Bruce says '' it's a mango''

me thinks i'll watch all the easter eggs right now:)

[Crysiss]

I wouldnt wanna throw a beer at Bruce:lol:

http://brucebeerthrower.ytmnsfw.com/

[JamJar]

:lol: that was hilarious. I couldn't imagine Bruce saying that at a gig.

[Crysiss]

Well, you heard it now. lol. I was laughing so hard when I heard it.

[crag]

:lol:''do you think this is a circus''

i love Bruce's rants.

[Happy]

What's that website dedicated to Bruce's rants? A mate showed me it. It's got recordings of him getting angry at fans that throw stuff at the band etc.

[Lord Abortion]

The Arctic Monkeys are great though.

I'd prefer live DVDs, but live CDs are more versatile.
God damnit Riva, you used to be cool.

[Deth]

Hey. Go vote Nicko queers.

[Lord Abortion]

Waaaaay ahead of you.

[Rattlehead]

What's that website dedicated to Bruce's rants? A mate showed me it. It's got recordings of him getting angry at fans that throw stuff at the band etc.
haha, post the link, should be funny.

[Riva]

Ollie, where'd you put that link of Blaze getting right royally pissed off at that fan?

i like imagining stageplay when listening to live soundtracks.

I often imagine myself on stage covering the songs whenever I listen to live tracks. It's quite fun.

[classicrockman]

Hey. Go vote Nicko queers.
I almost voted for Bruford but then changed my mind and voted for Nicko becuase Deth would call me a queer if I didn't. :)

[Lartsa]

haha, post the link, should be funny.

:) Yes, please; I read them a while ago then forgot.

[Deth]

I almost voted for Bruford but then changed my mind and voted for Nicko becuase Deth would call me a queer if I didn't. :)
Heh. Yeah.

[JamJar]

Nicko voted for. :)

That's ace, I've never seen that before.

You can really tell that Daves not suited to that type of music :p

[Josh]

the Walking In The Air bit is a bit strange, but it's a pretty damn good solo though. i wish they'd still do this stuff live, although with 3 guitarists, it could go on for a long time.

[-The Frank]

speaking of somwhere in time:
live at donnington, heaven can wait
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOf9nFHgQEM&search=iron%20maiden%20

watch janick and dave knee walk :thumb:


god youtube owns my soul

[Josh]

mmm...more live maiden. makes for a bit of a break from coursework.

EDIT: who the hell are all the people who come on at the "whoa-oh-oh" bit?

[ashman]

mmm...more live maiden. makes for a bit of a break from coursework.

EDIT: who the hell are all the people who come on at the "whoa-oh-oh" bit?

Friends and family .etc

I think it's cool.

[Josh]

it's cool, but i thought it was fairly strange when i first saw it. makes sense now though.

[Rattlehead]

let's get some more of those videos up. they were funny. anyone know a site?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

just go to http://www.youtube.com and do a search.

[Rattlehead]

will do

[-The Frank]

it's cool, but i thought it was fairly strange when i first saw it. makes sense now though.
They do the exact same thing in maiden england, except its alot more cooler and it sounds a crap load better.

[crag]

WTFOMFGKTHXPLZ111!!!1!11!!???!?!?!!

why isn't Nicko winning the poll:angry:

[Josh]

because some people are just gay.

[-The Frank]

Nicko>gays

[ashman]

Agree to both of the above posts.

[blue3]

I voted for him.

[Josh]

heh, someone on the IMOC asked how the guitarists' styles differ:
Dave's solos are like birds rising in a clear blue sky. Adrian's solos are like a raging forest fire. Jan's solos are like chimps butt****ing.

I voted for him.
nice. have some e-love :p

[JamJar]

Even though I love Nicko I want Danny Carey to win.

/hides

[Rattlehead]

haha ilmao. who is Jan(a bad soloist, i deem, though i've neve heard of him in maiden)??

[Josh]

Even though I love Nicko I want Danny Carey to win.

/hides
/hunts down with dogs and guns.

haha ilmao. who is Jan(a bad soloist, i deem, though i've neve heard of him in maiden)??
Janick Gers. he's a good guitarist, shows off a lot, but can be a bit sloppy.

[temporary]

Janick Gers. he's a good guitarist, shows off a lot, but can be a bit sloppy.

Meh, I wouldn't say that. Some of his solos on Rock in Rio are ace (Sign of the Cross or Hallowed Be Thy Name anyone?) He's a great showsman, too.

Thanks for all the movies guys, the knee walk was priceless. Youtube is one of the greatest things to happen to the internet...

Oh...and...uh...I didn't vote for Nicko *runs away really fast*

[Josh]

it's not that he's not technically awesome, he just occasionally wanders a little.
his acoustic stuff is good, like on Dream of Mirrors. seeing as he's been doing some acoustic on the new album, hopefully we'll get a song like DoM again :)

[Rattlehead]

Meh, I wouldn't say that. Some of his solos on Rock in Rio are ace (Sign of the Cross or Hallowed Be Thy Name anyone?) He's a great showsman, too.

Oh...and...uh...I didn't vote for Nicko *runs away really fast*
so who played RiR? Dave and Jan/Adrian and Jan?

[Josh]

all 3. Brave New World (RiR was on that tour) was the 1st album with all 3 of them on it.
the channels are:
Dave on the left.
Adrian centre.
Janick on the right.

[Lord Abortion]

Nicko is better than Carey, it's difficult for me to judge if he's better than Portnoy though.

[temporary]

To justify my voting decision, I'd like to say that I'd certainly say Nicko's a godly drummer, who probably deserves a place in the finals. On the other hand, the same can be true of Bill Bruford, and while he doesn't have the amazing foot speed of Nicko, he's one of the worlds finest drummers.

[crag]

Dave's solos are like birds rising in a clear blue sky. Adrian's solos are like a raging forest fire. Jan's solos are like chimps butt****ing.
haha, that's an.....interesting way of looking at it.

who is this Bill Bruford? I've never really heard of him.

[Josh]

i've never heard of him either.

[JamJar]

I have Yes's Close To The Edge which has Brudford drumming, but to be honest I've never really payed attention to his drumming before.

[YDload]

Bill Bruford is one of the all-time greats. If Nicko wasn't on the poll I would have voted him for sure. He played for Yes on their best-known albums like Fragile and he was also in King Crimson for a while.

His style is very intense and you can tell he was influenced by jazz. I'm also willing to bet that Nicko (and especially Clive Burr) are major fans of him.

[Lord Abortion]

Ah, he was in Yes?

Good drummer. I recall him now.

[-The Frank]

So.......the evil that men do has been getting alot of plays recently

[Apocalyptic Raids]

That used to be my favourite off Seventh Son, but I'm a little sick of it now.

[Rattlehead]

that's one of the few maiden songs i don't like.

7th son is such a great song. i love that build up half way through the song.

[Stormrider]

I can't wait to have more money to spend on cd's. Saw a bunch of Maiden albums yesterday, which wasn't a surprise but still. X-Factor wasn't there though. Amongst others probably that I didn't realize.

Saw the Death on the Road box though.

Make sure you buy a a dianno era album with Xfactor, incase you dont all ready own one.

[Stormrider]

Who's Dianno ? :(

The next Maiden albums I'm getting are X-Factor, 7th Son and maybe Dance of Death, because of Paschendale.

[Happy]

Who's Dianno ? :(

The next Maiden albums I'm getting are X-Factor, 7th Son and maybe Dance of Death, because of Paschendale.
Paul Dianno was Maiden's first singer.

[Stormrider]

Thats what I thought. Just didn't want to guess incase Iwas wrong :p

NP Galloglass - Ancient Times

replace DoD with killers or iron maiden and your set :cool: :thumb:

btw, which maiden albums do you already own?

[Stormrider]

I only have Number of the Beast and Peice of Mind.

NP Judgement of Heaven

[-The Frank]

Ok, heres the plan, you go out and buy 'iron maiden' then powerslave, after that xfactor. :p

[Stormrider]

Maybe, maybe...I never though of buying Iron Maiden so soon though :p

[-The Frank]

^^ if not you should you just buy powerslave next, you wont regret it.

[crag]

or Brave New World:p

[-The Frank]

:angry: or just powerslave :angry:





:p

either powerslave or brave new world would be fine

Np: to tame a land (dam i havent listened to this song in ages)

[PAJJ]

No go with you intial idea of DOD.

[crag]

:angry: or just powerslave :angry:





:p

either powerslave or brave new world would be fine

Np: to tame a land (dam i havent listened to this song in ages)
I heard a live version of that song a few days ago and it had a really long crappy solo that just randomly appeared in the middle it was quite upsetting to hear:(

[-The Frank]

No go with you intial idea of DOD.

Really any iron maiden would be fine considering they all pwn

I heard a live version of that song a few days ago and it had a really long crappy solo that just randomly appeared in the middle it was quite upsetting to hear:(
I've actually never really given it a full proper listen up until now, and i now realize i was missing on something that is/was totally awesome.

IMO its quite a underated track, i cant remember the last time someone mentioned this song on here.

[Stormrider]

So many different opnions :p

Meh, I'll just pick up the one I'm in a mood for when i go heh :p.

[-The Frank]

So many different opnions :p

Meh, I'll just pick up the one I'm in a mood for when i go heh :p.

Like i said, they all pwn so it deosnt really matter :chug:

[crag]

Like i said, they all pwn so it deosnt really matter :chug:
Agreed:chug:

[Stormrider]

Like i said, they all pwn so it deosnt really matter :chug:

That clears things up heh :p

Is the whole labum, DoD, similiar to Paschendale ?

[crag]

I'd say DoD and Face In The Sand are similar, ie they have an epicy feel to them. But generally no, the album is not the same.

[Stormrider]

Hmm...ok then. I've only heard Paschendale from the abum...

[Apocalyptic Raids]

So many different opnions :p

Meh, I'll just pick up the one I'm in a mood for when i go heh :p.
Dude.... get the first 7 Maiden albums before anything else.

[-The Frank]

Dude.... get the first 7 before anything else.

exactly what i did, except it was the first 5 before anything else.

[Stormrider]

I don't really plan on gettign the whole discography...Meh we'll see :p

[crag]

first one i got was DoD, then after that it was Powerslave and FotD, can't remember the order after that. The last one i got was Killers though:)

[temporary]

Hmm...ok then. I've only heard Paschendale from the abum...

Its still great, though. Some of the shorter tracks like Rainmaker are awsome. Still though, I'd say get Powerslave, Killers, and/or Seventh Son next, but thats just my spin on it.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I don't really plan on gettign the whole discography...Meh we'll see
Oh this isn't about getting the discography, the first 7 are all essential.

[crag]

Oh this isn't about getting the discography, the first 7 are all essential.
All Maiden's albums are essential.

[-The Frank]

All Maiden's albums are essential.

Exactly the point im trying to get across :lol:

they all are awesome

[JamJar]

I started out with DoD, then NotB then I forget. On a side note, I physically own every Maiden studio album. :cool:

[crag]

I started out with DoD, then NotB then I forget. On a side note, I physically own every Maiden studio album. :cool:
Me too:chug:

[Josh]

i got Edward the Great, then BNW, then DoD, then the s/t i think, and the others in a random order after that. i only actually own 6 albums though :p

[Dread_rocker]

any lucky bastards out there going to see maiden in december? virtually all the tickets sold out everywhere!! grrrr but I'm tryin to get some off ebay haha!

[JamJar]

I'm going to the first night at Earl's Court. I can't wait.

[Stoo]

Glasgow SECC sold out.

In fact there are some seated tickets available.

[PAJJ]

I started with BNW the day it came out, "borrowed" it from a friend, went to cd store bought Killers, PoM, NOTB and Powerslave the next day (they had a sale), and just slowly aquired them all, DoD was the last studio i got, and it's def one of, if not my fav.

[the_uber_penguin]

I'm seeing Maiden at Earls Court on the second night.

BNW was my first Maiden album (Xmas pressie from my parents) but I was only 13 at the time and didn't really understand it. DoD came out when I was 15 and I got it as a birthday present for my friend, and I got RiR for my birthday at the same time (our birthdays are only a few days apart). I was blown away by it. Now I've got Iron Maiden, BNW, NotB, SSoaSS, BNW and DoD of studio albums.

SSoaSS is my favourite, then BNW, then DoD, then Iron Maiden, then NotB.

[crag]

Glasgow SECC sold out.

hahaha, my dad knows a guy who works at the SECC who's getting me tickets:cool:

Infact, iron maiden was the first heavy metal band to play behind the iron curtain

Edward The Great
Dance of Death

Then just a bunch of downloaded stuff along the way.

[AB/CD]

i could never get into dance of death that much was more bruces voice i always thought it had changed a great deal especially from brave new world which i loved

[crag]

So i just read a thread in the unofficial IMBB that says that NPFTD is a concept album about men who love men. It's pretty funny.

Tailgunner - War epic, or Gay 'bombing' mission. Climb into this guy...never wonder why casual, promiscuous advert for gay loving. This line alone ensures that Bruce will NEVER sing this song ever again with a straight face!!

Holey Smoke - Someone forgot the lube!

NPFTD - Walking a long road - Never reaching the end Song about chasing fat guys with big arses

Public Enema #1 - People choking...fast bullets....on your knees..feeling tension sheesh, where do we start

Fates Warning - How come the bullet his the other guy Blind passion

The assassin - I'm coming after you A tale of two guys who were determined not to blow their stack first!! Read all the lyris again..it's quite amusing

Run Silent Run Deep - Now this does not necesserily mean it's about gay sex perse, but when you realise it's about submarines - i.e loads of sea-men & torpedos.......I rest my case.

Hooks In you - Now this one (and BYDTTS) are the only two I know are about hetro sex!! I dont like girls who've been hanging around...........For that well HUNG feeling

BYDTTS - read the rest of this thread!!! To many to mention

Mother Russia - Ok , I'm stretching it with this one, but consider the line Be proud of what you are... It's tme to come out of the closet!!

[Lord Abortion]

Wow, that stretches it a bit.

[PAJJ]

Hmmmm, i don't think so, you could say the same thing about wrathchild though!!

And now I spend my time looking all around,
For a man that's nowhere to be found.
Until I find him I'm never gonna stop searching,
I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around.

[JamJar]

When you look at Wrathchild in perspective of that NPFTD concept, it's a lot less far fetched.

[-The Frank]

So i just read a thread in the unofficial IMBB that says that NPFTD is a concept album about men who love men. It's pretty funny.

Well, bruce did get the title 'tailgunner' from a p0rno film about anal sex.....

[ashman]

Hmmmm, i don't think so, you could say the same thing about wrathchild though!!

And now I spend my time looking all around,
For a man that's nowhere to be found.

It's about his dad :upset:

[YDload]

That's what I thought too, if only for the line "...my dad I've never seen." Seems pretty obvious to me!

[PAJJ]

Dude i know that, i meant that other songs, if you look at single sections could be construed differently, and twisted into a gay context. I suppose I should of been more explicit about my point.

[ashman]

Yeah...the fact it's about his dad, makes it worse :p

Much, much worse

[Josh]

'sup guys. i know i'm a few days late in bringing you this, but here's the latest studio diary. 7 tracks mixed now :)
Hi there, Maiden fans. An update so soon - well, let me tell you, it may have been a short week, but it has been extraordinarily productive!

Got in early Monday morning from Italy and sailed right into Paddington on the Heathrow Express and was hard at work by 10am. 'Arry came in about noon - and then the rest of the week is a blur.

Wing Commander Biggles came in a couple of times - to sing a couple of songs, to work on some lyrics and melodies - Steve writes the melodies and Bruce writes lyrics to fit the meter. Steve whistles the tune and Bruce scratches his head and concentrates, searching pages and pages of ideas and lyrics he's got prepared. By the way, when Bruce does a vocal, it's entirely physical! I don't have a great view of him, because that would be weird just staring at him singing, but I can see him enough to see that he moves like he's on stage - with a fixed microphone tho, of course. His arms windmill around, and when he gets back into the control room, he's covered in sweat! He says he gives his abdominals a serious workout each time, and the vocals on this album are bitching!!!! Actually, the whole thing is - no kidding!!! The drums are gigantic - 'Arry's bass goes up your ***, it's so biting and heavy, and all Three Amigos have pulled out serious melodic solos, and I love the songs!

Anyway, Biggles has only ONE song left to sing - and I have already got final mixes of SEVEN - yes, you read that correctly - seven songs are in the can, from an album of ten. We have been working chronologically the whole time - and the order we've recorded the songs - and mixed them, is the running order for the album. Bizarre, yet utterly true and seriously satisfying! I haven't been this excited since Silverchair's Frogstomp........ well, then I did enjoy the Led Zeppelin DVD and live albums ..... and then I loved producing the Black Crowes and earlier Maiden albums too .... and I had a kickass time getting Joe Bonamassa's new album done (by the way, if you're a fan of the blues at all - of Jeff Beck, Peter Green, etc - check out Joe's album. It's called You And Me and we did a cracking cover version of a Led Zeppelin blues track - Tea For One) .... but still, I am very excited!

Jan came in - did some gorgeous harmonics on the quiet section of the track we call "Billy Bunter", well, that's it's working title! He added some melodic lines to a sing-along bit and Adrian came in and had some nice lunches - and put down a terrific acoustic guitar track over one of Bruce's songs, Song #6, which could conceivably get a few spins on the radio even!! Steve put down some tasteful synths and sang ONE backing vocal; and really did a sterling job on the keyboards, ably assisted by long time Maiden stalwart, Michael Kenney - the live keyboard player, bass and guitar tech, and general all-round whiz-kid! I'm normally pretty feisty about the keyboards, as I don't love them -but these have really enhanced the few sections where they've been played! Actually, there hasn't been a fight on this entire session! Amazing! Adrian did burst a blood vessel and yell at Jan for having a giggle with me while he was trying to listen to one of his solos on a B-side track, but we put that down to the time of the month - and then 'Arry and I had that little "rockabilly" exchange back when - but it's been a seriously fantastic session! And you'll get to hear all of that!

So, that's where we're at. We've moved our mastering date forward, because as we'll finish well ahead of schedule, we can get some other things done - I'm gonna produce a quickie 10 day album in Las Vegas with indie-rockers Supagroup, I'll also fit in some surround sound mixes for future live releases, and I've got a couple of things to do for a little Jimmy Page thing that's going on in the background. You might wonder what all these rock stars do, when not dancing and prancing around the stage, but succesful people work very hard - and all the time too! It's exhausting!

So, I hope you've enjoyed this little peek into our week that's just flown by. All the boys are home today and I'm working in the studio on my own - making sure the rock/metal is just the way you like it! It doesn't sound like anyone else, and we like that! We don't listen to any current stuff and compare it in the studio - we like to make the music sound like music we want to hear. And I know you'll love it!

My son Josh's 18th birthday is 06.06.06.

Could I be parent of the Beast? I'd better check under his hair...........

a summer release, i think :D
edit: and wtf, my missing 500 posts have come back. i take it they were restored from the old comm. thread, but i never got to celebrate 4k :(

I need sleep but I never get enough :(

Thor, the review was well written but how the hell do you rate gangland & invaders more then the prisoner & run to the hills? And number of the beast really isnt their best album.....
But still, good review none the less.

[crag]

[Josh]

[Thor]

Good stuff, I'll take a look see...

Nice solid review.
Thanks man. I was busy learning some of the songs on that album and then just decided to review it. I'm pretty proud of that one too, I think it's one of my better ones.

is that the one in the Early Days DVD or am i thinking of something else.

[temporary]

is that the one in the Early Days DVD or am i thinking of something else.

I'm pretty sure it is. I downloaded it, too, and its awsome.

And that new entry has awsome news. Summer release = kickass.

[ashman]

But it's not the full concert, the full concert is two disks, they didn't release it properly because of sound and lighting issues.

[temporary]

Good Lord, I just rediscovered Dream of Mirrors....I forgot how great this song is. Nicko's right foot is superhuman!

[Deth]

\m/

Such a good song.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I got Beast Over Hammersmith last night. It's great.

[blue3]

Of course it is.

[rik]

Damn straight, easily in my top 10, maybe even 5 maiden songs ever.

[-The Frank]

^ i dont think i could choose a top 10......

[crag]

My top 10 changes every week.

[Lord Abortion]

Aye, mine too.

[Josh]

there's too many good maiden songs. all of them, for that matter.

i really like That Girl at the moment (it was released with Wasted Years, i think), did they write that themselves or is it a cover?

[-The Frank]

My top 10 changes every week.
I dont even think i could do a weekly top 10 :(, but i guess thats what last fm is for

It was another "entire population of hackney" thing

Judgement Day would be mine.

Durring their down town in the SSOASS period, niko and adrian got toggether with a few dudes from urchin and just jammed. they eventually wrote two songs : that girl and reach out. Steve was soo impressed he got everyuone else in the band to learn the songs. ON reach out you can hear bruce doing the back up vocals!


Fact: sherrif(sp?) of huddersfield was actually a old urchin song

My favotrite BSIDE is inbetween: justice of the piece, doctor doctor, futureal (live), Wasted years (live), or burning ambition

[Josh]

ah, i see.
anyhow, off to play Call of Duty now, bye.

[-The Frank]

I actually got to go now aswell (****in have to get up at 5 AM).

So night all :wave:

Burning Ambition, all the 'kin way. Followed closely by Doctor, Doctor.

[JamJar]

I havn't heard ANY of Maiden's B-Sides. Anyone willing to upload some? :p

[Stormrider]

Eh, whats B side ? You guys have been mentioning a lot recently, but I don't know what it is...

/maiden noob :p

[Lord Abortion]

The second song released on a Single, so called, because for Vinyls, you have an A side on one side of the record, then you turn it over to listen to the other side, the B side.

[Stormrider]

Ohhh OK. Thanks...

[Surtr]

I've been pumping some Maiden out as of late. I'd stopped listening to them for a while and somehow managed to forget their greatness :(

[crag]

If i remember rightly Frank posted a link with all the things he'd uploaded, among them was Best of the B'Sides.

[Josh]

[Lord Abortion]

A fat, short bastard.

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

[Lord Abortion]

It's alright, I know him in real life, so I can abuse him how I wish.

[Surtr]

aye, it's the only live CD with total eclipse...
Total Eclipse is an awesome song. The first time I heard it I right away dismissed it as crap, but I gave it another listen later on and liked it.

Yay for fat bastards (like me!) I'm just fat enough to be able to make fat people jokes, without looking really fat.

[Deth]

I'm skinny. :)

[Lord Abortion]

I'm secretly fat, but far too tall for it to show...best of both worlds:cool:

[crag]

I'm small and skinny but i have a large mass of fat around my belly area.

The colours of my official The Trooper t-shirt have already started running onto each other after about 3 washes :(

My Shirts are mostly OK, they're faded a bit by now though.

you know what that means, right?

no more washy.:)


i have a "hallowed be thy name" shirt, but i think my dad threw it out, as well as my friends pants that i borrowed, when i put them in the wash. :upset:

[ashman]

I used to have a "Best of the B-sides" Maiden t-shirt, you know the one where eddies pulling a moony, but the largetse size for too big for I, so my annoying sister got it...the Bitch :mad:
