[TojesDolan]

1. What's your favorite Maiden album?
2. What's your least favorite Maiden album?
3. What do you think of Brave New World?

1. I'm having a thing lately for the Live at Donnington album, but there's something about Rock in Rio that drives me into it every time.

For studio albums, I have a thing for Powerslave lately.

2. I don't know. Seventh son of a Seventh son took a while to grow on me.

3. it's good, I like it... a tleast the first couple tracks. I need to give it a listen again. 6_6

[the_uber_penguin]

1. SSoaSS or BNW

Anyway, i still havent got a chance to listen to the new song, im afraid i wont be able to for at least another week :(

[megadeth456]

HALLOWED BE THY NAME IS THE BEST SONG EVER

O HELL YES!

[Lord Abortion]

Yes, this is the truth

[crag]

Meh, i've gone off HBTN recently :(

/runs and hides in corner

[PAJJ]

:eek: i never expected such blasphemy from you......................................













..................oh well i better get my gun :p

[Apocalyptic Raids]

It's easy to get sick of songs if you listen to them too much, though.

[PAJJ]

i know i was only fooling around, Crag obviously knew what sort of reaction it'd provoke with the hiding in the corner stuff, and anyway it's not like i was serious <_<.............


.......welll not completely anyway :)

[Apocalyptic Raids]

yeah i knew that was the case.

I was gonna say that anyway.

It happens to me all the time :(

[Shadows]

Wow, I got a better response than I thoguht I would. :p Thanks for answering. I've been busy listening to as much Maiden as I can get my hands on so I can answer it myself.

NP: Dream of Mirrors

[crag]

Yeah, i've just heard so many different versions of it so many times and i know it virtually inside out that it just doesn't have that spark that it had when i first heard it. Don't get me wrong i still think it's a phenomonal song but it's just lost it's appeal for me:(

[PAJJ]

I know what you mean, maybe if you leave it for awhile it'll come back, although i have 9 different versions of it, I listened to it countless times, and still think it's greater then anything else i've heard.

[JamJar]

I don't think that Maiden necesserily have any better songs than Hallowed, but there are a lot more Maiden songs I would rather listen to as I've listened to that one song a bazillion times.

[Quiksilver26]

When DoD first came out, i listened the **** out of Rainmaker and Paschendale... Still two of my favourite maiden songs :)

[Stormrider]

Paschendale is probably my favorite Maiden song me thinks.

I only have 2 albums though...and some random songs.

[-The Frank]

Try listening to the Beast over Hammersmith version, that version rekindled(sp?) my love for the song

[Lord Abortion]

BOH is probably my favourite live album ATM

[crag]

Maiden England is by far my favourite live album.

[-The Frank]

Okay, just saw the video for TRoBB, first of all this video is the best one they have done in years. Second i like how maiden doesnt get caught using the same old patterns, they are taking a new direction with this song, which is good, i dont think i would want a Dod duplicate or even a BNW duplicate. thirdly the song itself is no rainmaker but still is kick as$. I like it, and i want to hear more :)

Will do:thumb:


Maiden England is by far my favourite live album.

I saw that in the store the other day for 5 bucks, i think i may just wait for it to be released on the easrly days pt.2 dvd.

[Surtr]

:eek:

I might not get to see Maiden when they come to Canada.

I asked my dad if he'd mind us driving up to Montreal or Toronto for a Maiden concert. And he said that he went on a trip to Montreal with just a bunch of friends when they were all 15-16 (My age) and he remembers what they did, so there's no way he's going to let me go.

And I've been trying to explain to him that I'm not going to go off and do anything, I just wanna' see Maiden. I mean, he already knows I don't and won't drink no matter what, whether I'm away with friends our whatever.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

That sucks.

[Shadius]

Your dad sounds like a hypocritical ***.

[Surtr]

Your dad sounds like a hypocritical ***.
Haha perhaps.

He's cool though, he's just gone and done every possible stupid thing you could imagine, so now that he looks back he's worried I'll do the same stuff lol.

I'm contemplating that if he says no after I keep asking him, that I may just go without permission. I'll take my cell phone and everything so they can call me if they want to, but at least I'll be far enough away that I'll be out of their control. And when I get back, I'll have gotten to see Maiden and I'll also get to see the inside of the my room alot more..:p

[Lord Abortion]

Your dad sounds like a hypocritical ***.
Link with that location man.

Eyeballs deep in muddy water, ****ing hypocrite.

[Quiksilver26]

Ah this just makes me realize how very thankful I am for only being a half hour train ride away from Toronto.. where abouts are you?

[Surtr]

[Arucard]

I'm such a true metal fan i travelled all the way to Paris to watch Maiden, MISSING MY PROM.

Although my then girlfriend said it was shoddy anyway, and no-one got drunk.

UP THE IRONS!

[Prince of Darkness]

World Entertainment News Network reports that IRON MAIDEN singer and qualified pilot Bruce Dickinson airlifted 200 British citizens who had fled war torn Beirut, Lebanon back to the U.K. yesterday (July 20). The 47-year-old flew a Boeing 757 to Cyprus where he picked up the evacuees and flew them back to London's Gatwick Airport. A colleague says, "He was only too keen to get involved and help. "He has a strong interest in the welfare of people caught up in international conflicts and cares about what is going on."

haha. He's such a darling :P

but really. That was pretty nice of him.

What a bloody nice chappy.

[pep]

Hahah I didnt read well the first time and i thought that bruce was risking life by flying through the warzone to help some people.

But anyway, he's cool.

[Prince of Darkness]

Imagine some of the passengers were Maiden fans. They probably freaked out.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah..."Your Pilot for today is Bruce"

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaahhh!!!

[Prince of Darkness]

"hallowed Be Thy Name!!!!"

[Mikesn]

Go Bruce! :thumb:

[Quiksilver26]

I dont know what I'd do if I was on a plane and found out that bruce was the pilot :o

"Attention passengers, this is your pilot speaking, aaaccesssss hhhiiiiiiiIIIIIGHH!!"

[the_uber_penguin]

Just goes to show.

Iron Maiden = more hardcore then any other band.

[Shadius]

Imagine some of the passengers were Maiden fans. They probably freaked out.

I went on the Airline he's with when I travelled to Corsica. He's in their flight book and everything, I was hoping he'd be flying us but when the guy talked it wasn't like "YOU TAKE MY LIFE AND I'LL TAKE YOURS TOO" or anything, so I was disappointed.

Astraeus (sp?) Airlines or something we went with.

[Thor]

Do we have any other bass players in the house? If so, do you think that Invaders is incredibly fun to play? I know I sure do.

[Shadius]

It sounds fun to play on bass, I've always thought that.

[Thor]

It sounds fun to play on bass, I've always thought that.
Yeah the frequent bass fills in the verse are simply a blast.

[the_uber_penguin]

The bass player in my band tells me Sanctuary is the most fun he's had on bass.

He also tells me that for the bass solo in one of our songs, he just plays as many Iron Maiden fills as he can think off until the drum cue to switch to the guitar solo (at which point I come in to rip off Adrian's solo in No More Lies)

[-The Frank]

Do we have any other bass players in the house? If so, do you think that Invaders is incredibly fun to play? I know I sure do.

One of my favorite maiden songs to play along to,the 'beast album really has some great bass lines on it.

Anyway, since Maiden are not playing the US durring summer i can no longer see them :crys:

If Rhapsody don't add the UK to their next tour, likewise.

Even so

/hugs -The Frank

[-The Frank]

<3

I guess i will just have to settle for a dvd :(

[Quiksilver26]

**** it, I think Maiden should take Rhapsody on tour with them, I would literally pay just about any amount of money to go see that.

[PAJJ]

Maiden should have Voodoo Six support like they did at hammersmith, i really liked them, and they seemed to go down pretty well.
Or
They shouldn't take anyone i mean it's maiden why the **** do we need some ****ty band before them?

[JamJar]

They should definitely take a power metal act. Not Trivium :mad:

[Mikesn]

I agree, but I'd rather have Trivium than Bullet For My Valentine. I can't stand those guys.

[Leper Affinity]

I'd much, much rather have Bullet for My Valentine than Trivium.

[pate]

U.S. tour dates announced!

Methinks I'll skip Gigantour and do Maiden instead.

[Lord Abortion]

Bullet for My Valentine, I would prefer over Trivium, because they're Welsh, and I can shout abuse at them like I did last week when they were supporting GNR.

[the_uber_penguin]

I want my band to support Iron Maiden.

I think major touring bands should have a different (local) support act for every venue they play.

Not exactly sure how they'd organize it, but it would be cool.

I have the feeling Placebo did that on their last tour...

[victim of changes]

World Tour!!!!

[Stormrider]

Oh, they're coming here the 10th of October.

Wonder how much the tickets will be.

[pate]

You get BG a week after me, I get Maiden two weeks after you. The 22nd FTL

[Up The Irons]

So what's with Iron Maiden not liking America?
They have like 6 shows in the whole country

[clown_phobia]

I think that's a good idea. It'd give local bands more exposure.

[crag]

Heh, i'm glad Trivium are supporting. If it weren't for them i would be going to see Maiden alone.

[Joe]

Why aren't they playing any further south? I guess I'm driving up to Jersey.

[dwass5656]

Listen to Run To The Hills by Iron Maiden : http://www.napster.com/player/tracks/15222638

i love this band!

[IheartSP]

Sweet I get the first show of the tour!

Is Trivium really supporting them? That is severely dissapointing and makes me lose some respect for Maiden. Even if their music has never sold out, their reputation is slipping if they start touring with "innovative new bands" like Trivium.

Apparently they're touring with ''innovative new bands'' to bring in new younger audiences.....or so i've heard.

[IheartSP]

Sounds like they are selling out yet trying to sidestep around it at the same time. This way they are selling out more under the radar than changing their own music.

I think people who are hardcore Trivium fans and hardcore Maiden fans have a screw loose somewhere becuase if you can appreciate Maiden's greatness you should also be able to see how bland and untasteful Trivium is.

[Lord Abortion]

Apparently they're touring with ''innovative new bands'' to bring in new younger audiences.....or so i've heard.
That's pretty much the point.

stupid ****ing kids like them, so maybe they'll like Maiden too.

[Quiksilver26]

Ugh and now they have Bullet for my Valentine opening on the NA tour... Atleast I know I can show up late and not miss anything special

[PAJJ]

i'm not bothered really who supports them, anyone would be **** compared to maiden, and just frustratingly in the way,
i'm gonna wander on in after the support has finished,
and anyway IMO BFMV or Trivium would both be better then FFAF who were the support on DoD

[Xerxes]

Eh... you guys have GOT to be more open minded. These bands may suck to you that are opening for them, but to others they don't. Don't make statements disregarding the tastes of another, that's never a smart idea. To a vast ammount of people, rock and metal in general is devil worshipping music, and isn't even given a chance.

...and for the record, I agree, Trivium and BFMV blow IMO.

[PAJJ]

Open minded!!! What have you been smoking? This is the maiden thread, it goes:

Maiden >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all other bands who are **** compared to Maiden

:p

[Xerxes]

It sorta helps solidify the stereotypical Maiden fan. Don't be THAT kinda fan. :p

[666Ozzfan]

So what's with Iron Maiden not liking America?
They have like 6 shows in the whole country

Who does?

[Lord Abortion]

Uh...Where have you been living?

Do you not remember last time?!

[6stringed]

So what's with Iron Maiden not liking America?
They have like 6 shows in the whole country

Its 11 shows.
8 in the Usa.
and 3 in Canada.

Aargh I want to go

[Up The Irons]

Uh...Where have you been living?

Do you not remember last time?!

I thought that was all Sharon Osbourne, nothing to do with America

[the_uber_penguin]

I heard that was all a publicity stunt anyway...

[PAJJ]

i can't see that, they willing had eggs thrown at them, and their set ****ed with for publicity, i'm sorry but i can't see maiden doing that.

I thought the lack of touring in the states was mainly due to poor cd sales, DoD didn't even go gold in the states.....

[victim of changes]

Yea also the fact that most kids around my age are so into hip-hop or emo music in the states, thats maybe one reason why they wanna attract younger crowds to their shows.

[Lord Abortion]

I heard that was all a publicity stunt anyway...
I highly doubt that, Maiden just wouldn't do that.

[Aakon_Keetreh]

So they listen to better music.

[the_uber_penguin]

I highly doubt that, Maiden just wouldn't do that.

It's not unknown. Remember how they deliberately caused a media outcry in the UK with their Sanctuary sleeve (they but a black box over the woman's eyes, then screamed "Censorship!")

I figured that's its possible this is the same thing, but on a much larger scale...given what gets onto album covers these days they couldn't pull that trick again, so they needed something bigger...

...I don't know what really happened at Ozzfest, but I wouldn't write off the publicity stunt theory.

[Surtr]

So, I've been convincing my dad to take me and another friend to Montreal (And Quebec City also) to see Maiden (He'll only let me go if we can find another vehical other than our van and if he drives us there and stays at the hotel with us) and..It's going to cost me like $700 and then whatever for the tickets..:-\

Any idea of the price of the tickets yet?

[Quiksilver26]

^ From their website

Quebec show: Ticket price: $56.50 CAD

Montreal show: Ticket price: $54.20 CAD

Toronto show: Ticket prices - 67.50 / 52.50 / 39.50

Those are a lot cheaper than I thought they'd be, **** yeah!!!

[JamJar]

I love how much cheaper they are ther. They were £40 here which is about $75 Canadian. Annoying.

[Quiksilver26]

Yeah man, i'm just happy that I dont have to spend all my money (which is very limited at the moment mind you) on these. Actually what me and my friends will probably end up doing is getting the cheap tickets, and just move up to the good seats when Maiden plays :thumb:.

[Lord Abortion]

The actual tickets aren't £40, the tickets plus £15 ticketmaster charges and postage is £40

[JamJar]

Were they not? They were £40 + charges I seem to remember. Unless the London tickets were just more expensive.

[Shadows]

Does Maiden have any songs where the solos go back back forth several times for a while? I'm looking for an IM song to quench my thirst for very long, extended solos. Plus something mad fun to learn on guitar.

/semi IM noob

[Mikesn]

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son?

It's got some harmonies between some of the solos, but that's the first one to come to mind

[GenuineImitation]

Did tickets go on sale yet?

[ashman]

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son?

It's got some harmonies between some of the solos, but that's the first one to come to mind

Aye, that's probably one of the only songs I can think of.

So many new faces, I can't believe I'm losing track of my thread :P

[Quiksilver26]

Did tickets go on sale yet?
I think they go on sale the week or weekend of August 12. I really can't remember... it's not for a little bit though, don't worry you didn't miss you chance to get them :chug:

[Surtr]

They go on Sale August 14th or if your a IMOC Official Member you get to get 'em August 1st.

Thanks a ton for the ticket prices, now I can figure out how much this trip is going to cost me.

[MrRhodes]

Anyone else going to see them in December at SECC in Glasgow? I can't wait but after nearly dying at a Tool concert, I'm not so sure... Just kidding, its my first time and my friends 4th :p

[Surtr]

I saved my first concert for Maiden, which hopefully my dad's going to agree to take me and my friend up to Quebec.

[Lord Abortion]

I'm on my third Maiden time, going to Newcastle Arena:D

I wonder if Bruce dickenson ever fell down because of all that running he does on stage..

I wonder if Bruce dickenson ever fell down because of all that running he does on stage..

That cover is very cool, and is a hell of alot better than the album's cover.

Here is another link for those who aren't members of that forum: http://www.maidennorway.com/content/view/216/1/

[FatalEnergy]

Yeah, that cover is very cool. He looks evil again.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I thought the cover for the album was kinda average, though :(

That single art reminds me of Fear of The Dark.

[JamJar]

That cover is so cool. I might actually get the single.

[Nepenthe]

That's the best cover they've had since Fear Of The Dark.

Dance Of Death's was ugly as hell.

Wow, I just now finally saw the track listing for the new album. I like the song lengths :thumb:

Wow love TROBB cover.
The new covers do look like they were done by derek riggs, which is a very good thing.

[Rainmaker]

the covers werent done by riggs, they were done ny different people.

cant remember any names, but im pretty sure that the artist for the breeg cover is the same guy who did the death on the road cover.

Melvyn Grant.
i didn't mean to say they were done by riggs just that they looked more like his style, you know they look good again :p

They are all just about 7+ minutes.

[FatalEnergy]

Why dosen't Riggs do the covers anymore?

The Dance of Death cover was horrible, but the Brave New World cover wasn't bad.

[JamJar]

I liked the cover for Brave New World a lot ans yeah I agree that the Dance Of Death cover was horrible. My personal favourite Maiden cover is Somewhere In Time.

[Nepenthe]

Powerslave would have to be mine.

[FatalEnergy]

As cliche as it is, I probably like The Number of the Beast cover the most

[Nepenthe]

Number Of The Beast would easily be my second favorite.

[Aakon_Keetreh]

Mine would be Live After Death

[pate]

Mine is Seventh Son, followed by Killers and Piece of Mind.

[FatalEnergy]

I forgot about the Live After Death cover. That one is pretty awesome as well.

[Mikesn]

I'd say...

Powerslave then Somewhere in Time then Live After Death

[Aakon_Keetreh]

Live after Death, its just sooo cool.

[PAJJ]

Mines probably LAD, PoM, TETMD single or Fotd (live) single as it's one of my favourite eddies,

[FatalEnergy]

The Running Free single has a very cool cover, with Eddie in the shadows.

[crag]

I'd probably say LAD or SiT.



I think we may have the next Bruce here:p

[FatalEnergy]

Sounds like Abu from The Simpsons :lol:

[TojesDolan]

There's something that catches me about Virtual IX.

[Lord Abortion]

I love that cover too...it's really cool.

[FatalEnergy]

I kind of liked the cover for The X Factor, even though I don't really like the album.

[Nepenthe]

I don't really like X Factor's cover, but the Virtual XI is a pretty cool one.

[Lord Abortion]

I kind of liked the cover for The X Factor, even though I don't really like the album.
/Says exactly the opposite.

[temporary]

My favorites either Killers or LaD. I love the way Eddies killing the guy on Killers.

Anyways, I've been away for a while, but I'm soooooooooooo happy to see Maiden are coming to Philly. I'm getting tickets as soon as they go on sale.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Best cover is Killers, of course.

[Quiksilver26]

I remember I had to draw the Killers cover for art last year... It took less than a period to draw eddie, but the rest took like a week :lol:

[inassociationwithdeanlearner]

Sounds like Abu from The Simpsons :lol:
I think you mean Apu :p but by god that video is hilarious.


Anyway i'm assuming this has already been posted but just incase it hasn't i'm guessing you guys would be very grateful to see this.

Its not bad, however i dont think it really sounds that much different to their other stuff, they made out that it was gonna be very different sounding and kinda progressive but all in all i was a little dissapointed by the lack of change. Its still a good song but i was hoping for some a bit more different.

[clown_phobia]

Live After Death is such a good album. There's not a song that i don't like on it. The guitars sound so good on that. they harmonise so well (although that may the case on every iron maiden album).

[crag]

As far as live albums are concerned i much prefer Maiden England. Easily the best set list ever:)

[Arlan89]

Great band, got all of their albums (except for the best-of compilations), my favourite has to be Somewhere In Time, damn love that album especially that ****in' awesome guitarsolo in Stranger In A Strange Land. I've heard the new song and I'm a bit dissapointed by it, but I'm sure they'll have some kick-*** songs on the new album.

[temporary]

I definitly like The Reincarnation, I like the dark feel alot. I wouldn't say its up to par with the best tracks on Brave New World and Dance of Death, but its definitly quality.

[-The Frank]

As far as live albums are concerned i much prefer Maiden England. Easily the best set list ever:)

Can i play with madness is killer on maiden england

A 1 A 2 A 123 CAN I PLAY WITH MADNESS!! YOU GOT IT!!! [GIANT FIREWORK EXPLOSION]


Anyway, today i bought Aqualung by jethro tull only because i love maiden's cover of cross eyed mary.
But i have to say:
Maiden's Cross Eyed Mary>Tull's Cross Eyed Mary (wtf is up with the flute?)

[guitarist.kid]

I'm not an Iron Maiden fanboy but I'm gonna go see them with Bullet for my Valentine in October. What do you think their set list will look like because I honnestly don't like all their song.

[pate]

They basically always play Number of the Beast, Run to the Hills, Hallowed Be Thy Name, Wrathchild, Iron Maiden, The Trooper and Fear of the Dark.

And there will obviously be several new tracks. They fill in the rest with a variety of songs, spreading across their catalog.

[temporary]

I'm curious, does anyone know what the price range will be for the tickets?

[Lord Abortion]

I'm not sure what it is in USD, but it was £40 including Ticketmaster costs over here, if you look back a couple of pages, you can find the Canadian cost, which is probably similar.

Apparently on this tour they're playing every song on the new album so i don't think there's going to be much time left for the popular songs :)

[Lord Abortion]

Really?

Where'd you hear that one, Crag?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

If it's true, that sucks.

[crag]

Really?

Where'd you hear that one, Crag?
I'm not really sure, it was either one of Kevin Shirley's diaries or an interview with one of the band.

If it's true, that sucks.
I think its good, i'm fed up hearing the same old songs all the time really.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah, but not everyone has seen them before. I would be ****ing pissed off if I went to see Maiden, and missed out on a classic song which is better than the new ones.

[Surtr]

I'm not really sure, it was either one of Kevin Shirley's diaries or an interview with one of the band.


I think its good, i'm fed up hearing the same old songs all the time really.
Yeah, I recall hearing that on the IMOC Forums.

I hope they drop Wrathchild for sure, and maybe NOTB..but other than that I'm fine with them sticking to alot of the same old songs.

But I agree with Apocalyptic Raids that, since this'll be my first time seeing Maiden (If I get to go) I don't wanna' go and not get to hear Run To The Hills or Hallowed Be Thy Name.

[Lord Abortion]

This'll be my third time seeing them, and as long as they keep Hallowed in, I'm not bothered what they play, but I hope it's alot of new stuff, and some things they haven't played in a long time, (Still life, Sea of Madness, anything that's not the first three tracks on the X-Factor)

[crag]

I defiantely agree with dropping wrathchild. But stuff like NOTB RTTH and HBTN, while maybe sounding a bit dull on live recordings, they are ****ing awesome if you are at a concert. There's nothing better then seeing a giant 666 light up right behind the drum set.

This'll be my third time seeing them, and as long as they keep Hallowed in, I'm not bothered what they play, but I hope it's alot of new stuff, and some things they haven't played in a long time, (Still life, Sea of Madness, anything that's not the first three tracks on the X-Factor)
But it's stuff like that we unfortunely know maidenwont put n their set list. Considering The early days tour where they dropped CtH becasue some "fans" wouldnt be able to reconize it, and to replace it they put in wratchild. But you never know, maiden are full of suprises.

I like the flute in tull.

[Lord Abortion]

In the early days of Bruce's solo band, they used to play mostly covers, because they didn't have enough songs written for a whole set.

See the new DVD

You got "Anthology"? (sp?)

Have you watched any of the Samson footage yet?

[Lord Abortion]

No I haven't...I've seen the sets for it though.

[PAJJ]

I was thinking about this in the golden years tour, surely won't end with RttH, it'll be kind of a sad moment, I've been to 4 maiden gigs and they've all ended on that, I'll go out on a limb and say 5 will end with that (not counting 6 as it's part of the same tour),

i dunno i know it's not that important, but yeah, when you have too much time on your hands your mind wanders :)

[Quiksilver26]

:( there go my hopes of seeing Out of the Silent Planet live..

[MrRhodes]

I heard Maiden's new song on Kerrang yesterday :D They've still got it, it was amazing! (The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg)

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I think it's boring as hell :-|

[crag]

I think it's boring as hell :-|
:(


I think it's awesome, great fun to play on guitar :D
Speaking of which i haven't listened to it in a while.

/puts on TROBB

[Apocalyptic Raids]

It is Maiden, so I'll still give the album a chance.

[blue3]

but if it's Slayer..

[-The Frank]

I think it's boring as hell :-|

I really like the new song. The intro gets me every time, i just love how bruce sings the "let me tell you bout my life....." and then how it goes into a awesome pounding guitar riff.

me likes.

More "questions with rod":http://www.maidenfans.com/index.php?ACT=module&name=rwnews&area=article&nid=2124

Apparently the new history dvd will be out at the end of next year . Good stuff :)

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, I love TROBB, it's the side of Maiden, the darker, intospective side I much prefer.

[Shattered_Future]

It's quite a change from the stuff I'm used to hearing by them, but I think they pulled it off. It's a bit on the long and boring side, but not too much.

[PAJJ]

i love it, even after the inital excitement of new maiden wore off, i still tink it's a brilliant song, and it's going to be amazing live.

[victim of changes]

Great song, and the cover for the single is awesome

[Quiksilver26]

TRoBB has grown on me so much... I liked it when I first heard it, now it seems as if i'm listening to it a few times everyday. I'm really thinking the whole album is gonna be like this, not sure if that's a good or bad thing at the moment though.

edit: still think the video blows though :)

[ashman]

:(

There's Tabs already?

[pate]

Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to learn a song without the use of tabs.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

but if it's Slayer..
Well, if I hear anymore of it I won't be paying.

That's a awesome avatar you have there crag.


edit: still think the video blows though :)
I actually think it's one of their better videos to be honest.

[al98]

The songs good:) i like it, cant wait to here the new album, when is it coming out again?

Don't really like the video that much, maiden seem to have there ups and downs video wise :(

[-The Frank]

USA: September 5th
Every where else: August 28th

[FatalEnergy]

The video was just okay. Better than the Wildest Dreams video, but I though that The Rainmaker and The Wicker Man videos were better than the new one though.

[-The Frank]

The video was just okay. Better than the Wildest Dreams video, but I though that The Rainmaker and The Wicker Man videos were better than the new one though.

The reason i didnt really like the rainmaker video was beacause niko just looked so weird with his beenie and sunglasses. also, Bruce (really in any video) does these really odd movements that put me off.

[pate]

I didn't really like the song, but really liked the video. It was funny seeing Steve sorta dance around.

[Daven]

2 Minutes To Midnight is soooo good.

[FatalEnergy]

I've been stuck on 7th Son lately. Amazing album.

NP: Iron Maiden - The Evil that Men Do

[pate]

Indeed. Their second best, IMO, behind the self titled.

[FatalEnergy]

Killers is my favorite. I haven't listend to Maiden in a while, so I figured I'd pop in 7th Son.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Seventh Son is definitely Maiden's best.

[crag]

SSOASS is great, not my favourite though. I think it would come about 4th on my list:)

[Arlan89]

That was my first Iron Maiden album. I remember the goosebumps during the The Evil That Men Do solo. Great album but I never really liked Can I Play With Madness.

[MrRhodes]

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son is my favourite album, as well as Brave New World.

[Daven]

Brave New World ims definitely my favorite, followed by 7th son....

[MrRhodes]

I just can't decide between the two, they are both amazing. I could maybe go towards BNW slightly more cause it has Blood Brothers on it, one of my very favourite Maiden songs ever. But then again, don't know what the new album is going to be like yet so that might take over, I can't wait to hear it. And for the earlier subject I think the new video is decent, I agree that they have there ups and downs.

[Surtr]

I'm in Montreal for the weekend. Bought SSOASS and Somewhere In Time along with a NOTB and BOTB T-shirts. :D

[Quiksilver26]

Nice, i've only got a FotD shirt... and SiT is definitely becoming one of my favourite Maiden albums ever.

[FatalEnergy]

I have so many Iron Maiden shirts I don't even think I could list them. I have easily 10 or 12

[the_uber_penguin]

It's really hard to call which of those two albums is better: BNW or SSOASS.

Both have one possible skip track (CIPWM and The Nomad). Both have excellent songs and the guitar work is equivilent.

I can't even say that Bruce sounds better on one then the other: both those albums feature his best ever work.

Both have some absolute classics: Moonchild, The Wickerman, The Evil That Men Do, The Fallen Angel: and some superb epics like Infinite Dreams (not quite an epic, but meh) and Dream Of Mirrors, Seventh Son and TTLBLAH...I really can't call it.

The only thing which really is different between them is the song order: SSOASS orders the songs in a way that they can be intrepted as a story, while BNW doesn't (not without any great difficulty and imagination anyway).

I might have to say that BNW has more content (it's longer) but SSOASS is better as an overall album.

[PAJJ]

Between SSoaSS & BNW i'd probably go SSoaSS, i mean they're pretty even, and both contain 2 of my fav maiden songs ID and TFA, but SSoaSS wins based on having better artwork :p

[Deth]

Damn Maiden not touring US properly :angry:.

[pep]

Damn Maiden never touring Mexico :angry: .

[Daven]

Damn Maiden never touring Central America.

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

Damn Maiden never touring Turkey.

I dont listen to too much Maiden, kick a$$ band though, as you all know. I have Edward the Great: Greatest Hits, and just a mix of Maiden. I like all of the hits, besides Flight of the Icarus, I cant stand that song.

[Deth]

I can't stand Edward the Great. The song selection is just the singles, and is very weak because of it.

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

like i said, i dont listen to much of them, so i am not going to dive into each album to find songs that are good but arent singles.

[clown_phobia]

what's rock in rio like? I love live after death, how does RIR compare?

[Daven]

The album?

[pate]

It's really good.

[JamJar]

Get the DVD over the album for Rock In Rio. The DVD captures the energy so well.

[MrRhodes]

Rock In Rio DVD is amazing.

[Grom]

Rock In Rio DVD is amazing.

I second that.

[Terrorzone]

I third that. That DVD truly got me into them.

[shadow_stalker]

Get the DVD over the album for Rock In Rio. The DVD captures the energy so well.
i prefer the cd way more, the crowd has been turned down to much on the dvd so on parts where they sing its no more than a whisper were on the cd it is a bellow


/gets +1 intellect for sounding clever

/loses 5 intellect for making himself sound stupid

[victim of changes]

I only have the CD

[Quiksilver26]

I'm actually listening to the album now, the sound on it is just kick ***. Right now listening to the harmonizing part near the end of BNW, so ****ing good \m/

btw has anyone played the Edhunter game at all?? :lol:

No, it's a proper game for the PC where you run around as Eddie :p

[MrRhodes]

Oh... and do what? :p

[Deth]

I considered buying Ed Hunter for $30 but decided against it. It sucks in all likelyhood anyway.

[MrRhodes]

Hm.. I'll not bother trying it then.

[JamJar]

:lol: i've always wanted to play that game. I can't find it anywhere though :(




Really? I can nearly always find it in my local Virgin. I've never even considered buying it though because it looks awful :p

[-The Frank]

It's for someone who is just getting into maiden to buy.


And you guys could find edhunter on any torrent site me thinks. ( that is, if you wanted it.)

I might have to download Edhunter, always wanted to play it.
