Iron Maiden

[crag]

They've never recorded anything in Glasgow, or Scotland for that matter. So they should record a DVD there.

[JamJar]

My guess would be that if they're going to record another live show soon, it would be the second Earl's Court show.

[temporary]

Once again, I'm pissed at all you lucky British bastards who get to see Maiden. As soon as US dates are anounced I will be so happy.

In other news i was listening to NPFTD a lot today and it seems that i have underestimated this album, it's definately grown on me:)

[Thunder Fingers]

Woho! only six months to the Tour :p

ahaha... you wont get many.... I have a feeling that Maiden aint USA friendly anymore, and i certanly see why...:lol:

[JamJar]

I can't wait that long. :( Luckily I have two gigs to go to until that time.

[666Ozzfan]

It would be really expensive for me to see Iron Maiden at any time, because that would require me leaving the country. Grr expensive plane tickets. If only I had the money to go to Europe to see them. It would complete my life. If only...

[Lord Abortion]

Whoa, Rare Martin Sighting ITT.

How is your Norseness?

I'm putting half my Maiden onto USB, for transference to my Zen.

He certainly should, BNW and Still Life are both fantastic songs with his name on them.

[the_uber_penguin]

Yay! Exams nearly over, I'll be able to live like a human again at least until I relapse back to my MX addiction).

In other news, commiserations to Mr. Harris on West Ham's result on Saturday. There were plenty of times I felt they deserved to win.

[PAJJ]

I was actually doing some calculation last night and decided they have at least 6 more tours they have to do:

1 upcomming tour
2 more history tours
2 more album tours
1 farewell tour

I worked that out once, then realised Maiden will never die so it won't happen :mad:

And now to think of it, davey writes some of my favorite maiden songs:
charlot the harlot
still life
deja vu
fates warning
public enema #1
BNW

and the list goes on and on........

Unlike the other members, Dave has yet to contribute a below par maiden song


EDIT: just looking at Dianno's myspace, theres a clip from a music video for a song off his upcomming album.......

[Lord Abortion]

Davey writes some good stuff.

[The Masked Guitarist]

Hello Iron Madian Fans!
I enjoyed Peice Of Mind.
Liked Fear Of The Dark alot.
Loved Number of The Beast!
Were do I go next?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Powerslave and Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son.

[crag]

Brave New World!!!

or Somewhere In Time.

[The Masked Guitarist]

ok what did you guys think of Number of teh beast, peice of mind and fear of the dark (so i know who has my taste im music)

[crag]

They are all amazing albums, but in my oppinion, FotD and NotB are the 2 worst Maiden albums.

[The Masked Guitarist]

I think im goin to go with powerslave because i have heard good things about it .......

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah, Powerslave is the next one you should get for sure.

I love Piece of Mind and Number Of The Beast.

[Stormrider]

s/t album, honestly the only track I'd give below a 5 would be "Running Free".

Powerslave is sublime, X Factor is great, Dance of Death is very strong, Somewhere in Time is decent um... 7th Son is slightly overrated but enjoyable enough, Brave New World is pleasing, I'd say probably go for something from the 80's, all those albums are excellent. :thumb:

I would also like to point out that Maiden have never done a bad abum with Adrian on board, he is along with Steve an brilliant songwriter and a valuable member. Hooray for the Smithy!

Yeah, he also wrote Rainmaker with Steve, and thats one of my favorite Maiden songs (I love Dave's intro riff.) Didn't he right some other stuff on DoD and BNW?

[JamJar]

One thing I've never understood is the love for Rainmaker. I'll probably get flamed for this, but it's always been my least favourite on DoD and I've alwasys thought it's been sub-par of Maiden's amazing standards.

I really liked it until i heard the rest of DoD, i think it's a lot more mainstream friendly, which would explain it's popularity.

[ashman]

I like rainmaker, it's short catchy and has got all the trademark maiden things in one easily digestible song.

Mines The trooper, put it on when i frist got my phone

[PAJJ]

I have the Wickerman, i didn't answer my phone once because i was singing along, i have the solo, maybe riff i can't remember which i changed it too from the trooper for my message alert.

Oh and Rainmaker is an ace song.

[crag]

I don't have any Maiden ringtones on my phone, it refuses to let me put any on it:angry:

My little brother has BYDTTS though:)

[ashman]

I r Really digging the Blood and Belief album <3 it

[Lord Abortion]

Haven't listened to it much. Can't find 10th Dimension ANYWHERE except for the combined one with SM that I already have.

[JamJar]

My ringtone used to be The Trooper but then my brother got a new phone and put The Trooper as his so we couldn't tell who's phone was ringing. He eventually made me change it to 2 Minutes To Midnight.

I need to hear some of Blaze's solo work. I've heard very good things about it but never had the oppurtunity to listen to it.

[Josh]

i have the Rainmaker ringtone :)

i can upload Blaze - As Live As It Gets for anyone who wants a sampler of stuff from different albums of his.

[ashman]

OOh, I've got that!

It's not that great, it loses a lot stuff in the studio imo.

But Blood & Belief is probably his best album.

[Surtr]

I'm thinking I might get a Maiden ringtone..But my phone is almost always on vibrate so there'd be little use.

[crag]

I'm yet to hear a studio album of Blaze's, all i've heard is ALAIG and him covering Wild Thing with Wolfsbayne.

That would be awsome, heres my email Aboodaboodabi@gmail.com Thanks a ton.

As for Rainmaker, I personally like it alot, mainly because of the catchy chorus and intro/outro riff. Plus I've always though the video was really cool.

[Josh]

i'm uploading the Blaze album now, anyone else who wants it put your email down and i'll send the YSI link out when it's done.

[the_uber_penguin]

Live videos aside, I've never felt Iron Maiden's videos were up to the quality of their music.

RHCP have some good videos (Otherside, Dani California). The MCR video for I'm Not Ok is good too, but Iron Maiden's really could be better. There's so much visual imagery in a lot of them, that could look really good in the video and somehow it's missed, or the video doesn't match the feel of the song. I don't know. Their best video might have to be OOTSP for me.

[blue3]

Did you have to mention MCR? I really don't like that video. I agree with RHCP though.

I know a place that has every wolfsbane album, so this summer i plan to pick them all up :)

and to LA: you can buy blazes albums seperately off amazon

ftL!

It's an average video..

Rainmaker is an awesome video.

[-The Frank]

Rainmaker is probably the only good maiden video, besides man on the edge.
I really cant stand watching their videos, they're just sooooo cheesy. Bruce really cant act. He just starts acting really weird in videos.
I was at a friends house the other day and i should my friend the acoustic version of tears of the dragon, and he really enjoyed it. So (without knowing) i went to bruces site and clicked on the video for abduction, bad move. Bruce ran like a freaking moron in that video. He is a terrible actor. I had to eventually close the video becasue it was just soo embarrsing.

Maiden should just stick to live footage.

[Lord Abortion]

OOoooh....Wolfsbane.

I may well pick up lifestyles of the broke and obscure soon.

[Mikesn]

The Wicker Man video is my favourite. Dunno why, I just like it.

The Wickerman video was actually quite good. Rainmaker one was alright, it seemed a bit artsy fartsy for me :p

They did a video for Out of the Silent Planet? *Goes Youtubing.*

I do agree with you though, most of Maidens videos were really average. I do like Man On Edge, The Wicker Man, and Rainmaker, though. Still, its not like any of them are Sledgehammer or Epic quality (I have yet to see a video that beats those two.)

Edit: Not cool, they edited out the intro for the video of OOTSP! Thats my favorite part.

I didn't like that, but they still keep the outro. I guess they just needed a punchier start to it.

They said they wanted to release The Fallen Angel, but didn't want people throwing themselves out of windows, etc...

[crag]

I hate it when they remove parts from songs, they did it in TAATG too:angry:

[rik]

The Holy Smoke video made me cry.

[crag]

The Holy Smoke video made me cry.
:lol: i love the part where Steve's playing bass on the back of a tractor.

[ashman]

The OOTSP video, isn't actually them playing it, it's just footage mashed together from the BNW tour :mad:

Holy smoke video is great.

Love the bit where Dave is soloing in a river.

[Deth]

That's ones funny for sure. I need to whip out Visions of the Beast again for a laugh.

Aces High and The Wickerman are my favorite videos, even if Wickerman is still cheesy.

[ashman]

<3 Winston Churchill intro to that song

[Lord Abortion]

Holy smoke's video is funny as hell.

[-The Frank]

I hate it when they remove parts from songs, they did it in TAATG too:angry:

Thats becasue TAATG was way too ****ing long =/. The video for that made me cringe aswell.

Everone else is so of over the top, and excited then it cuts to dave just standing in the river, it cracked me up.

[the_uber_penguin]

I wonder if that was a reference to the fact that Dave would really look at home at Sidmouth Folk Festival...

[temporary]

Everone else is so of over the top, and excited then it cuts to dave just standing in the river, it cracked me up.

Yeah, the part with Steve in a pool playing a tiny plastic guitar was great, too. Come to think of it Holly Smoke is actually one of my least favorite Maiden tunes (the solos are cool, though.) I guess Maiden's just not cut out for writing funny stuff.

[Josh]

i'm having a stupid moment, TAATG is which song?

i haven't really seen many maiden vids.

[Mikesn]

It's The Angel and the Gambler.

Sanctuary Visual Entertainment are proud to announce the UK triple disc DVD release of Bruce Dickinson ‘Anthology’ on. 19th June 2006. This is the definitive Dickinson package, and includes nearly/over six hours of videos and live performances, and previously unreleased and archive material.

Bruce Dickinson is still the proverbial human whirlwind of activity, having made his mark both as the frontman of the legendary Iron Maiden and as a longstanding solo artist, with a catalogue that includes six studio albums of his own plus several concert releases. In addition to his musical talents, Bruce is also well known as a BBC Radio deejay, TV broadcaster, Airline Pilot, sword-fencing expert, novelist, family man and voice of modern music.

Bruce says: “It’s fantastic to share all of this collection with my fans. These DVDs contain rare material that people either won’t know exists or have been unable to buy. The Samson video has changed hands for absurd amounts of money, and although we spent loads of time and had and lots and lots of fun making the promos, and because MTV didn’t show them many of won’t have been seen. It was high time they were all available together in one package.”


DVD disc 1 is a live performance extravaganza boasting 30 show-stopping tracks, recorded during the 90’s as Bruce forged ahead with his solo career. Dive Dive Live was recorded at the Town and Country Club, Los Angeles on the Tattooed Millionaire Tour, August 14th 1990. This was Bruce’s first outing as a solo artist with a new band made up of Janick Gers (Guitar), Andy Carr (Bass) and Dickie Fliszar (Drums).

The second live-in-concert performance offered up on Disc 1 was filmed over two sweaty back-to-back dates during the Skunkworks Tour in Pamplona and Gerona, Spain on May 31st and June 1st 1996. Bruce was fronting a new young band, with a new name, and was joined on stage by Alex Dickson (Guitars), Chris Dale (Bass) and a certain infamous Italian drummer, Alessandro Elena. Originally created for a four track video EP release in Japan, this is the hour long Skunkworks concert in full, for the very first time.

DVD Disc 2 keeps the live-in-concert experience alive with rare footage of Bruce performing in Sao Paulo, 1999 during the Chemical Wedding World Tour. Almost two hours in length, ‘Scream For Me Brazil’ represents Bruce’s last outing as a true solo artist before rejoining the ranks of Maiden shortly afterwards. No official film recording was permitted although this film taken from the crowd screen feeds features highlights of the show which later become a live album of the same name. With a new heavier line-up made up of long time song writing partner Roy Z (Guitar), old Maiden partner Adrian Smith and rhythm section of Dave Ingraham (Drums) and Eddie Casillas (Bass), this ‘bootleg’ documents Bruce at his most intense.

DVD Disc 3 Is an extensive collection of promotional videos made during Bruce’s solo career. From his days at EMI through to his own self produced videos of recent times, each video is accompanied by a short introduction by Bruce himself, discussing the ideas, concepts and eventual filming behind each of the videos. Each intro provides an interesting insight into Bruce’s solo career as it progressed and the highlights and pitfalls of producing your own promotional videos.

Alongside the 14 promotional videos, Disc 3 also includes over an hours worth of extras.
The Tyranny Of Souls interview was originally filmed as a general interview for press purposes. This is a track by track breakdown of the concept behind the songs on the Tyranny Of Souls album, providing more of an in-depth look at the writing methods that Bruce has formed with long time wiring partner Roy Z.

Samson - Biceps Of Steel
Bruce made his video debut fronting Samson in this rather curious adaptation of the story of Samson and Delilah, filmed at the Rainbow Theatre, London. Filmed and directed by Julien Temple who perhaps was more famous for the Sex Pistols movie - ‘The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle’, this 15 minute featurette was distributed through-out cinemas as a support feature to Hazel O’ Connors ‘Breaking Glass’ in 1980.

Bah, I'll just not tell people of my Tool addictions futhermore.

You don't like The Number of the Beast??!!!(That was before right?) BLASPHEMY!!!!

NotB is overrated.

SSoaSS is the best album ever made. Period.

NotB is one of my least favourite Maiden albums. (Why do I say this even though I'll just get flamed more?)

NotB is one of my least favourite Maiden albums. (Why do I say this even though I'll just get flamed more?)
I agree with you, every Maiden album apart from FotD tops this album:)

[Josh]

NotB is good, but hardly their best. it's better than NPFD though.

my favourite album is Somewhere In Time, closely followed by Brave New World. i rediscovered the awesomeness of Wasted Years while i was driving my car the other day :)

[JamJar]

My favourite albums are Powerslave followed by Brave New World. Both frickin' awsome albums.

Brave New World and then Somewhere in Time for me:cool:

[JamJar]

A lot of love for Brave New World... good. We should cover a song from it or something >_>

NotB is highly overrated, nearly as much as Metallica.

:mad: wash your mouth out boy, i will not have such blasphamey, Maiden are nothing like Metallica.

[JamJar]

yes yes:p :p :p

ah this is true, i falied :upset:

[Lord Abortion]

Maiden are never in any way, shape or form like Metallica.

I don't like NotB as much as other albums, but it has Hallowed:cool:

[temporary]

My favorite is a toss up between Piece of Mind, Powerslave, Seventh Son, and Brave New World. They're all so brilliant, I don't think I could ever choose a favorite.

[ashman]

Would be cool to do full album, I can't find tabs a decent tab for Fallen Angel and Daveys guitar line in Thin line is amazing...

[Surtr]

Anyone have any of Lauren Harris' stuff? I was checking her out (Her music....lol) earlier and it got stuck in my head lol. If you do think you could upload anything?

[the_uber_penguin]

:mad: Notb isn't over rated, it has HBTN on it and that's the greatest song ever written.

HBTN > SSoaSS (album) > RTTH > Rest of NotB

Unfortunately, one good song (even if it is eight minutes long and truly awesome) doesn't make up for Gangland and Invaders.

And, that said, Infinite Dreams, Moonchild, The Evil That Men Do and Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son are all all time favourite songs of mine.

[Deth]

Number is probably my least favorite Maiden album I own.

[Stormrider]

I havn't listened to it in a long time, really. Since yesterday, I've been listening to more of Peice of Mind...

[-The Frank]

NotB is good, but hardly their best. it's better than NPFD though.

my favourite album is Somewhere In Time, closely followed by Brave New World. i rediscovered the awesomeness of Wasted Years while i was driving my car the other day

:angry:

i like NPFTD :(

ON the topic of NOTB, it really isnt that bad, but it doesnt have much power compared to their others, but ever since i decided to learn the whole album, i discovered what a good song total eclispe is.

and IMO FotD is their worst.

Favorites: Dont really have one, their all awesome :(. But if i had to choose maybe just maybe BNW or SSoaSS. BUt i like all of 'em on a same level.

[crag]

The Thin Line would be an amazing song to cover.

[Josh]

The Thin Line... is an amazing song, i love it. :)

[JamJar]

We should indeed cover it. Agreed?

NOTE: My recording equipment is shocking.

Agreed, i've finished all my exams and now have two weeks of free time to do as i please, so a little cover project could be fun:p

^You play bass don't you? I'll be doing some guitar.

[Josh]

i attempted to play bass for a while. i need to get another one.

/mental note to spend student load on bass in October.

[JamJar]

My bass is alright. I'm better at more funky stuff than metal. I cannot write metal basslines.

[crag]

^You play bass don't you? I'll be doing some guitar.
Me be a geetarist:p

[JamJar]

Okay, now we need a drummer, a bassist and a vocalist :p

[Josh]

Deth plays bass. he did it for the Trooper cover.

[temporary]

Okay, now we need a drummer, a bassist and a vocalist :p

I know Ollie sings and you can get one of those drum programs on your computer. I'd help out if I had any good recording equipment and was better at guitar.

[crag]

Surely there must be someone here who plays drums.

[Nepenthe]

I do.

[Deth]

When are we recording this? I'm getting an 8 track recorder in less than 2 weeks.

What song are we doing? I missed the conversation.

I'm assuming we'll record when we gather up enough people to make a cover, as for the song it's one from BNW:)

[ashman]

How could you forget me?!?!?!

Can I pwease play Daves lines? :p

Also, I suggest we all learn from the same tab, since there are so many variations.

We need 3 guitarists do we not?

[ashman]

So the last poor sap gets Janick :p

You on MSN crag?

[the_uber_penguin]

My voice isn't so different from Di'annios, so I'd sing. Unless it's Blood Brothers, in which case you have Jannick right here.

EDIT: Thinking about it, in some ways it's not "some poor sap" who gets Jannick's part as they generally are still fun. The main difference is that it would be easier to do justice to his solo's.

Still...Jannick Gers: overrated by his fans, underrated by his detractors.

[Deth]

So, song suggestions. I vote for Ghost of Navigator or Thin Line.

[innocent criminal]

are there any release dates for the new maiden cd??




will somebody tell them to come back to bloody australia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JamJar]

So, song suggestions. I vote for Ghost of Navigator or Thin Line.

We decided on Thin Line. And woot, I get janick's part.

Not yet, hopefully we'll find out some information soon enough.

WTF? Someone actually wants to play Janick? This thread has been full of surprises lately :lol:

Hey thread.

Beast over Hammersmith is such a damn good live album.
Bruce's introductions to songs are quite strange, though.

Whenever i listen to that cd, i always find it odd when there is no one speaking the NOTB intro.

Yeah, my Mum's been on hliday these past two weeks...so less Internet time at my Dad's.

Back tomorrow night properly though

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Beast Over Hammersmith is great. Easily the best live version of Hallowed Be Thy Name I've heard.

[ashman]

Yeah...I think that's because no one knew it back then :p

In other news Crag's friends uncle has let him borrow his video of Maiden England, although i have my suspicions that its pirated, you can barely hear Dave:(

[-The Frank]

Yeah...I think that's because no one knew it back then :p

What i meant was that im so used to hearing every one screaming thei intro. Where as on this one, no one knows it at all.



To crag: Did you get to see still life live ???????!!!!!!! :eek: :eek:

Not yet, so far i've got as far as Heaven Can Wait.

EDIT : I've watched the whole thing now, Still Life didn't get played:confused:

EDIT 2: I just looked at a set list for the concert, it seems my video skips TETMD, The Prisoner, Still Life and DWYBO:angry:

[rik]

I am an able bass player if i'm needed. Although the only recording program I have is the crappy one that comes with windows.



/Votes we cover POTO.

DOD= great cd.....they still had it in 2004 but the real question is do they have it in 2006?? their manager is talking it up like its killers x 100 but can they really do it again???

Stupid ol' me

I need to see Maiden England so desperately, but I'm prepared to wait for the Golden Years DVD

I haven't seen it either. Looking forward to the DVD though.

The tab for Thin Line looks boring :(.

haha, it's actually quite fun on guitar, i've been playing it all day today:)

It's quite a nice song to play...not the funnest...that goes to The Evil That Men Do!

[Deth]

I like playing Phantom of the Opera and Rime the most.

I like POTO, but Rime is a tad boring...(well the verse is)

YES THEY CAN! They are going to be tons better too, and as long as you post in here i want to hear no doubting of Maidens abilities.

hahaha sorry..will never happen again! cant wait for the new album!!!!!!!!!!!

[crag]

I find the instrumentals really fun to play especially Transylvania.

[PAJJ]

DoD is one of my favourite songs to play, also 2 minutes, haven't learnt evil that men do, shall try it next if it's that fun.

[crag]

I forgot about DoD, that song is great to play. Infact every song i know on that album is really fun to play:)

[the_uber_penguin]

I really need to get round to learning the title track from that one.

I love playing Journeyman...I arranged all the complex three guitar parts down to a chord progression for just one guitar. It's really hard! (Especially in the first bits where there's a picking pattern instead of mistake-hiding strumming)

oooo, if possible could you hook me up with that, it sounds fun, i'd be forever grateful :).

[Josh]

i can't play much stuff at all, let alone much Maiden.
i can play the intro the RTTH, and i used to be able to play BNW, although not at Steve's speed, more like i played 2 notes for every 3 of his. i still love playing the intro to that on my bro's acoustic.
i used to be able to play Wrathchild as well, but it's so long since i've played bass now, i don't know if i could still play anything all the way through :(

I'll start putting it into powertab, as I did the arrangement myself.

Might take a while...

I can't tab my stuff into powertab, I'm so slow with it.

EDIT 2: I just looked at a set list for the concert, it seems my video skips TETMD, The Prisoner, Still Life and DWYBO:angry:

Yeah, mines the same way (except I can hear Davey fine.) I'm kinda pissed it skips those, considering how much I love TETMD and Still Life. You can find DWYBO on Youtube, though... God I love that song...

Ok, I did it.

Nice, I have the audio, but that's damn cool.

You guys ought to have the Journeyman tab in your inbox now.

I can now go back to eating Toblerone.

Just though I'd mention this in here for all the Maiden fans.
I seen an advert on TV today for this monday on Skyone (I think its skyone) Bruce is doing a documentary TV show on spontainius combustion (yes I'm serious)
During the advert Bruce was all like "Why do some people just go...up in smoke?" See what he did there? ahh the cheese.

ash_is_satan[at]hotmail.com

As for the cover, I suggest we all get the same tab, because there are sooooooooooo many different ways to play it.

And I suggest we try The Wickerman first, so whoever mixes it, can play about with mixing 3 guitars (probably crag :p ) and the Wickerman is so simple.

That sounds like a logical idea.

How do Maiden pan the guitars now anyway, is it Dave-left, Jan-Right and H-middle leftish?

Thanking you kindly.

It's a bit fiddly to play, I'm sure I'll get it though :p

[the_uber_penguin]

Of course it's a bit fiddly to play...it's three guitars down to one. It was even more fiddly to work out, I think (except the picking bit from bar 3 to 6).

I found the best way to play the:

EADGBe
113310

was to finger Thumb-thumb-ring-little-first-(open string), barring with the thumb. That's the hardest bit.

My favourite is the interlude bit... :-)

[Deth]

You crazy guitarists and your chords.

[ashman]

I'm not really a fan of chordage, I prefer to play a note and the other guitarist plays a minor 3rd or a 5th...we're gonna start playing with 7ths soon :p


I'm gonna nail that song soon!
