Iron Maiden

[Quiksilver26]

I've also discovered that it's an extraordinary album to drink to :lol:

[Apocalypticon]

:eek: do you know of a link to where riggs' covetr could be seen man??

also


:chug:

edit: in my crappy half assed search ot find it, i came across this
http://derekriggs.ballconsultinggroup.com/Pages/maiden.dir/05.html
which SHOULD dispell all rumors of eddie's homosexuality :p

no wonder the girls love him check out the package on that guy.

[Quiksilver26]

:lol: AHahahah that post really made me crack up

[Apocalypticon]

why thank you, I pride myself on my hilarious posting. And I think Eddie could do way better than those girls. He could totally score himself a girl like Jessica Alba if he wanted.

[Quiksilver26]

Haha, he could just for being affiliated with the greatest band in history :). (imo)

[Apocalypticon]

I wouldn't say its because of that(not that Maiden are bad or anything) I think he's just the definition of badass.

[Quiksilver26]

mm, also very true. Besides Adrian, he's my hero lol

[Surtr]

So, this album is still amazing eh? I'm loving it. All of it.

[HahahitnRun]

Some songs have grown on me more than others. Different World, These Colours Don't Run, The Pilgrim, For The Greater Good Of God, Lord Of Light and The Legacy have really gotten stuck in my head.

[Surtr]

Anyone have "S/T" - Iron Maiden they could upload for me? I need that album.

[PAJJ]

er well it's yousendit as that was 2 hours ago and i took some initiative

[GenuineImitation]

I just bought the new album today and it is much better than I was expecting. Its a classic metal album in my books.

Im also buying Maiden tickets this week. I cant wait \m/

[Surtr]

It's all good, thanks alot.

and sent.

[-The Frank]

++repped

[the_uber_penguin]

I'm just listening to Rhapsody's Power Of The Dragonflame. It kinda rocks.

I think I prefer AMOLAD though...naturally.

Anything it would be fun to hear Maiden cover a Rhapsody song?

[Quiksilver26]

Yea, that'd be something to hear... although it'd also be interesting to hear Rhapsody covering a Maiden song... Just imagine Paschendale or something with full out orchestras, and have the lyrics take on a new meaning.. perhaps about dragons and wizards and everything :lol:.

[-The Frank]

Wow, this thread has been really slow the past few days.....

[the_uber_penguin]

Wow, this thread has been really slow the past few days.....

Yeah, no one posted for about two days, so I thought "Say something. Say ANYTHING" and did.

I would love to hear Rhapsody cover The Trooper.

[-The Frank]

I could never get into rhapsody -_-

Also, bands should cover something else then the trooper. Its been done a million times, there are plenty other good maiden songs out there.

[TojesDolan]

The thing is they are not popular and covers are all about popular.

[Quiksilver26]

Yeah, but out of 14 albums you'd expect there to be a song that as many people know as the Trooper =\

[crag]

I would love to see someonecover one of the epic's like ATG or Paschendale.

[Quiksilver26]

Maybe a Blind Guardian or Therion cover of tLotLDR :D

...christ i'm bored as hell in class right now :lol:

[Josh]

soon i will return....
ie. once i start uni next week :)

the new albums grown on me considerably since i was last on, but it's still not one of my all-time favourites, i reckon it'll be much better live.

[PAJJ]

not many bands could get anywhere near as close as maidens though, it's a lot to live upto, especially if they're doing a straight metal cover, i'd like to see more obscure ones like the zwan one of NotB
anyone know of any?

[Quiksilver26]

:eek: I didn't even know Zwan did a cover of NotB... And tbh I really can't imagine wtf that would sound like in the slightest.

The only covers I know are the mostly mislabeled ones on Limewire or whatever.. covers of Aces High, The Trooper, etc.

[Deth]

Iced Earth did a good cover of Hallowed. Good, not great.

[the_uber_penguin]

I could never get into rhapsody -_-

Also, bands should cover something else then the trooper. Its been done a million times, there are plenty other good maiden songs out there.

I think The Trooper is quite a coverable song. It's very distinctive with its riffs, but still something that is fairly easy to put your own style onto.

EDIT: It's worth mentioning that my band covers The Wicker Man.

[Mikesn]

Iced Earth did a good cover of Hallowed. Good, not great.
They've also covered Transylvania on their Horror Show album. I thought they did a good job with that one, it wasn't bad.

[Deth]

Yeah, I liked that one. Heavier, as is to be expected from them.

[Quiksilver26]

Ehh.. I've been meaning to get into Iced Earth for a while now =\ All I've heard aside from some assorted songs, was my buddy's Horrow Show cd in math class one time. You guys have any suggestions of what some chillin IE albums are? :) (i've heard great things about The Glorious Burden)

[Deth]

Night of the Storm Rider or Something Wicked this Way Comes are my favorites. If you can find Alive in Athens, buy it immediately, it's my favorite live album ever (3 discs!)

The Glorious Burden is good, but unlike typical Iced Earth and I've seen many mixed opinions. But the Gettysburg trilogy is the best thing they've ever written.

[Stormrider]

By golly !

/IE talk

Uhh, what Deth says !? I suck when it comes to recommending IE albums.

[Quiksilver26]

Nice, thanks dude, I'll check those out when I go home this weekend. My college sucks in terms of location to any sort of establishment that sells CDs.. and a lot of other things :lol:

[pate]

I finally got the tribute album Numbers From The Beast. It pwns hard.

Fear of the Dark featuring Chuck Billy, Craig Goldy, and Mickey Dee.
Wrathchild featuring Paul Di'Anno and Alex Skolnick
Wasted Years with Dee Snider.
The Trooper with LEMMY!!!
The Wicker Man with John Bush and Scott Ian

I have listened to this album like 8 times in two days so far. /calms down.

[-The Frank]

EDIT: It's worth mentioning that my band covers The Wicker Man.

My band to ^_^

anyway, all day today i have had a cold and i felt like shti. I had to go to baseball practice with a effin cold and i got yelled at a million times. Drive home took 2 hours. My day couldnt have gone worse. Then, my dad texted me saying my AMOLAD has arrived. And i am beaming, i have waited way too long for this .

[PAJJ]

:eek: I didn't even know Zwan did a cover of NotB... And tbh I really can't imagine wtf that would sound like in the slightest.

it's acoutic, and really different to the original, it might be under Djali Zwan, but i can always ulpoad it if you can't find it/want to hear it.

[-The Frank]

^
You can find it up on youtube.

Ok now that i have listened to the album the hwole way through, i can now share my thoughts.

To be honest atm this defianetely isnt my favorite maiden album. It has a few bum tracks and a few good(awesome) tracks, but in a whole its pretty good. I can definately see why this album is described as a grower. And it will probably grow on me in the future. But i must say, the lyrics on this album are phenominal, best lyrics in a long time. One major problem i had with this album was how low bruces vocals are. I could barely hear it durring a few parts of the album. I also dont really like the 'live-ness' they did with his voice.

Tracks:
Some compared OotS to tears of the dragon, to be honest i like tears of the dragon better.
i didnt really like the pilgrim on first listen
FtGGoG = pwnage
I didnt really like LoL aswell as the legacy
Everything else was awesome
The longest day is amazing

In a whole it sounded alot different then anything else i have heard from maiden.

:)

:)

This is almost exactly how i felt when i first heard AMOLAD. But my oppinion has definately changed now.

[Surtr]

Wow, The Frank.

OotS-Your right, Tears Of The Dragon is better, but I'd say it's compared as they sound alike in some ways.

The Pilgrim-I kinda' agree, and still do..It's still yet to REALLY catch me.

LoL- Quite good song. The intro is complete garbage, but once you get past it...:eek: (A good eek lol)

The Legacy-Probably my new all time favorite Maiden song. It's insane. Just..Pure awesome.

Everything else-OMFGZORZ! :amaze:

[JamJar]

The Legacy-Probably my new all time favorite Maiden song. It's insane. Just..Pure awesome.:

Amen. I love that song so much. It has such an epic and important feel. I personally love every song on the album and think that it is definitely one of Maiden's strongest efforts.

[-The Frank]

Np:these colors dont run (i <3 this song)

:)

I prefer OotS because it doesn't have an annoying ska section, and the solo is by Adrian instead of Roy-Z. Also, the acoustic guitar in the background works really well.

LoL is slightly weak, but the chorus is pretty anthemic. I agree with everything you say though.

Also, The Three Amigos were on the front cover of Guitarist magazine this month. It's pretty cool article: probably nothing you didn't know about the band before (if you've read RttH and been on here for the past six months or so). Some interesting pictures of them in their old days and some stuff on gear, naturally.

Also, Adrian has some intersting things to say about modern bands, most of which I think he's dead on with:


Q: Do you hear Maiden's influence in younger metal bands?

A: [His son] plays me bands like Atreyu and they have guitar solos, which is good. A lot of these bands have got the attitude and great sounds, but it would be nice to hear a bit more playing and actual singing from some of them. [I agree so much with that: Trivium, take note -P]

Q: Do you think there's enough melody in modern metal?

A: No. I think it relies too much on shock value, which is great to a point [not really -P] but for longevity you have to have something more. But even Slipknot have done that - their Wait And Bleed is a very melodic song, for example. [/me slaps H with a flipper]

[-The Frank]

Atreyu & Slipknot :rollseyes:

Anyway, i took a break from my AMOLAD listening to listen to 3 tracks off of SSoaSS (the prophecy, only the good die young, and clairvoyant) and to be honest it made me really sad. To know that maiden will never sound like that again :(

The Pilgrim is starting to really grow on me though, i love the 'turn water into wine' part.

[Quiksilver26]

Well the direction that they'll take on the next album remains to be seen.. but I agree with you, it'd be amazing if for their last ( hopefully not :mad: ) album they created something more like in their golden years and just show up every single other band out now :)

[PAJJ]

didn't steve say he'd changed his mind, and that it won't be their last (like originally planned 15 maiden albums), because they're so happy with the way this one came out, they just want to keep doing it.
And i know i'm a bit biased but to me AMOLAD really does show up every other band out there.

[Quiksilver26]

Yeah i'm pretty sure Steve had always thought of them releasing 15 albums then quitting, but recently he said something about just seeing how it goes or whatever... They wouldn't be in their right minds to quit any time soon =\

AMOLAD does completely crush everything else out right now too! unless of course they release another album this year :eek::amaze:

[TojesDolan]

Atreyu & Slipknot :rollseyes:

Anyway, i took a break from my AMOLAD listening to listen to 3 tracks off of SSoaSS (the prophecy, only the good die young, and clairvoyant) and to be honest it made me really sad. To know that maiden will never sound like that again :(

The Pilgrim is starting to really grow on me though, i love the 'turn water into wine' part.
Yeah but I don't like the 80's synths so I'm cool with that sound never returning.

Anyway, next money batch I'll get AMoLaD, because I couldn't decide whether get this or Amputechture. Amputechture won because I didn't buy Frances The Mute (when it was cheap ergh student lol), but I'm not feeling bad at all for choosing it. Now, when it comes to 10,000 days...

*sigh*

[Quiksilver26]

Eh, I didn't think 10,000 days was that bad... Obviously wasn't on par with Lateralus, still had some killer songs though. (if i read that correctly)

[Drum Monkey]

Hey is anyone here going to see Iron Maiden/Bullet For My Valentine on October 16 @ the ACC in Toronto?

I'm not sure where we are exactly, the guitarist bought the tickets, but it's a couple of sections down from the right side of the stage. It's not too far up either.

-DM

[Quiksilver26]

:wave: Yeah man, first row just next to the stage on Adrian's side :D.. ****ing guy infront of me in line got the last pit tickets =\. Where are you sitting/standing?

[Thunder Fingers]

AMOLAD does completely crush everything else out right now too! unless of course they release another album this year :eek::amaze:


Meh... i have heard rumors about a new Rush album...


probaly be next year sometime... :-/

But Stuff out right now, doesnt realy take much doing to be better than...

[rushfanaticforlife]

Meh... i have heard rumors about a new Rush album...

Yea, they're in the studios finishing an album.
I'm just like praying they'll do a US tour.

[Quiksilver26]

:eek: new Rush?!?! **** dude! I didn't even know about that. I'll just have to wait for that and see if my opinion is swayed :).

[lightningmetal666]

Has anyone gotten to listen to the new Maiden album?

I was thinking about buying it, but thought I should ask about it first.

[Thunder Fingers]

tis very good, buy it :)

[lightningmetal666]

tis very good, buy it :)

Sweet. Any recommended tracks?

[Apocalypticon]

tis very good, buy it :)
Is the sound and style of the album similar to DoD or is it closer to some of their earlier albums? I've only heard one song off it which was on their website awhile ago.

[crag]

Sweet. Any recommended tracks?
All of them, seriously there are absolutely no fillers on this album.

Is the sound and style of the album similar to DoD or is it closer to some of their earlier albums? I've only heard one song off it which was on their website awhile ago.
I would say it's very Brave New World/X-Factor/7th Son of a 7th Son

[Apocalypticon]

Hmmm, might be worth it then. I'm a fan of 7th Son. And X-Factor is alright but I don't really like Brave New World. I'll download some songs and then decide if it's worth the money.

[victim of changes]

Its got the sound of DoD, songs have a different feel though than some of the last few albums they've put out

[Apocalypticon]

I haven't really enjoyed their newer albums that much. DoD just didn't do it for me, luckily I downloaded that album instead of buying it.

[lightningmetal666]

Its got the sound of DoD, songs have a different feel though than some of the last few albums they've put out


Does it have any songs that are a powerslave/piece of mind feel? If so I'm buying this for sure.

[Mikesn]

The Pilgram reminds me of Powerslave somewhat.

[lightningmetal666]

The Pilgram reminds me of Powerslave somewhat.


Hmmm, sounds intriguing. I might very well buy this album after all.........

[Apocalypticon]

The Pilgram reminds me of Powerslave somewhat.
Powerslave the song or the album. Either way it sounds like an interesting song.

/goes to try and download

[-The Frank]

^
Neither, the reason peopel compare it to powerslave is because of its arabian vibe durring a few of hte instrumental parts.

All of them, seriously there are absolutely no fillers on this album.


I would say it's very Brave New World/X-Factor/7th Son of a 7th Son

How so?

[PepsiMetal]

Hmm, yea this new album isn't really like their older ones. Most of these songs are epic like, they start slow, and then later gets heavy. Most of their older songs just started heavy and hard. lol. Actually this album is alot like Tool ones imo structure wise, although I like Maiden songs way better for many different reasons. It definetely doesn't sound like DoD either though, except couple of first songs.

The Pilgram reminds me of Powerslave somewhat.

Hmm, I don't see that really. The Pilgrim sounds great regardless of that though. I love the freakishly amazing guitar melodies in it. Especially the intro.

[Eliminator]

Woah, songs build up?

This is a marvel concept for Iron Maiden.

[the_uber_penguin]

Longest Day is my favourite from the album, but only just.

[crag]

BTATS or FTGGOG would probably be my favourite from the album.

[Lord Abortion]

It's all awesome

[-The Frank]

My favorites would be: TCDR, the longest day, or FTGGoG

[-The Frank]

A whole day people? Come on, post something,

Anyway, i have noticed that it is incredibly fun playing 1st person shooter WWII War Games while listening to AMOLAD.
Most in particular TCDR, TLD, and FTGGoG

Now if that doesnt get you talking, then here is Bruce backstage on the SiT tour:

Dude I could not agree more, I was playing Day of Defeat all weekend (nothing else works on my computer at home :upset: ) listening to it. Freaking ownage :D

[the_uber_penguin]

I had fun this weekend.

Freshers Mania at the student union (where I just started University) has Venga Boys playing live (for those who don't know: "Boom, boom, boom, boom. I want you in my room. We'll spend the night together, from now until forever. Boom, boom, boom, boom. I want to go boom boom. We'll spend the night together. Together in my room") :D

I made up for it by going to a great comedy club (also S.U.) on Sunday...

N.P. The Mercenary.

Steve Harris is on Bass Player this month. (Probably old news by now.)

Day of Defeat is great.

[Quiksilver26]

You guys play source? or the older one? Me being poor, I just play the old one \m/

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I play the older one since my PC is a piece of ****. I haven't payed in months though, CS takes up most of my gaming time.

[-The Frank]

Currently i dont have DOD on my CP, but i might install it in later if you guys wanna play some.

The title track 'the living dead' can be viewed off of youtube. Its alright, nothing like maiden though.

[Quiksilver26]

Such a dead thread lately.. =\
Anyway, the NA tour kicks off in a couple of days, I'm sure there are users who are going to it, I seriously can't wait. It's like 14 days or something until they come here, I don't think I was even this excited before the first time I saw them :).

[pate]

I would, but nobody will go with me, and I don't want to make the 4 hour trip alone. :/

[Quiksilver26]

=\ Yeah that would suck.. Most of my friends say they like Maiden.. wouldn't ever actually come see them though.

[MrConeman]

I'd love to see a tracklist of their current set for current tours up here soon, So I can brush up on all the songs before I go see them, there's quite a bit of Maiden I've been neglecting of late.

Yeah, to the like 3 cities they are playing for their NA "tour".
It saddens me that maiden really dont give a crap about touring the US and Cananda. And the fact that AMOLAD has totally surpased BNW and DoD in sales makes it even worse.

:bitter:

[Josh]

hehe
/seeing maiden in....
/counts days....
75 days i think lol.
:p

i'm hoping that the songs on AMOLAD come out better live, i think they will.

[ghettoeddo]

agh i cant make ANY of the showssssss

[Lord Abortion]

Hey folks, I wanna see the new setlist...

[LegionsofMarduk]

2 weeks from the very moment I'll be leaving work early. Go get a friend, get a case of beer and start heading to Detroit. Get to Detroit, park the car, drink said case of beer while waiting to get inside. Get inside and try to ignore crappy opening act and their emo-fag fans. Said crappy band goes off stage and Iron Maiden will play. And it will be good.

[-The Frank]

lucky.

Anyway, i just bought myself the 'raising hell' dvd for 1 dollar. Yeah for -the frank!
The show wasnt very good to be honest, davey was extremely energetic though which suprised me.
The magic tricks were really lame to.
But i have now seen it and all you have not! Yeah for me.


EDIT: RMOTM is up, shall we do the maiden tradition where we nominate everyone who posts in this thread? :lol:

yeh, i havn't had regular internet access for a while, but now i'm at Uni i've got an awesome connection in my room (i can download at 4mbs + :) )
i'm out for the night now but i'll be back tomorrow to post some more, especially about AMOLAD, as when i was last on regularly not even those 3 tracks were available online.

[-The Frank]

Good stuff.

Out of the shadows has really grown on me. I really love how Bruce sings the verses.

[pate]

It's really good. My favorites are still TROBB, BTATS, These Colours Don't Run, The Longest Day, and FTGGOG.

[-The Frank]

I find TROBB is one of the weaker tracks on the album. Extremely fun to play though.
The legacy still hasnt caught my attention yet. But i have defiantely warmed up to lord of light though

[pate]

I hated TROBB when it was released as a single, but love it within the context of the album.

[-The Frank]

I liked it as a single when it first was released. But i think i just over listened to it :(.

I was also thinking the other day that the intro to TROBB (the little guitar solo thing) sounds like something that could be on SiT

[pate]

Hmmm. Yeah, I can see that.

[Hot Darn!]

I just got back from seeing them.
They played AMOLAD in its entirety.
I don't remember everything they played but here are some.
Fear of the Dark
The Evil that men do.
2 minutes to midnight
Hallowed be Thy Name.

A tank popped out at the back of the stage behind the drumset in the middle of 2MTM.

No trooper =/, and the set seemed kind of short because of the playing of AMOLAD. But still, they are amazing and remain my favorite band.
I got a sweet hoodie with the guns and ed on the back too :D.

[-The Frank]

I didnt know the tour had started yet :eek:

How was the singalong part of These colours dont run?

My goodness am i jealous you got to go to the tour :(

[pate]

Wow. Congratulations man.

Since we never got the dave murray guitar, i say we all pitch in for andrians car......

[-The Frank]

maidens oppening show setlist.....
http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=59770

Pretty nice, but it would have been better if they had some of the older ones in there.
Also 2M2M looks really out of place on that setlist.
And seriously, who would have thouight that they wouldnt include RTTH and NOTB, that kind of shocked me.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I think that's pretty lame. I would be very annoyed if I was seeing Iron Maiden for the first time and didn't get The Number of The Beast, Run To The Hills and The Trooper.

[pate]

But I like that they're finally changing it up.

[-The Frank]

Exactly.
But like i said, they should've included a bit more classics or songs they dont often play live.

[pate]

Hmm

All of AMOLAD
The Wicker Man
Revelations
The Clansman
Phantom of the Opera
Iron Maiden


Looks good to me.

[-The Frank]

At least one blaze song would have been nice.
The edge of darkness anyone?
Also, im not that sure how well out of the shadows is going to go down live.

[Josh]

w00t! 2MTM, TETMD, FOTD and HBTN, as well as all the album? i always wanted them to play TETMD and 2MTM the first time i saw them :D
although i'd rather have them play some stuff off Somewhere in Time than all of AMOLAD, but still, they're gonna pwn live.

NP: Different World (on my awesome new speaker set)
i love the philosophical aspect of this song.

[crag]

Ugh, i can't say i'm to fond of this set list, FotD and Iron Maiden really could have been changed to rarer songs :(

[pate]

But at least they changed some songs. I was expecting:

AMOLAD
FOTD
The Trooper
RTTH
NOTB
HBTN

I also just saw them, the older stuff they played (Fear of the Dark and Hallowed be Thy Name in particular) was ****ing incredible. I think it was kinda lame how they didn't do more songs outside of their new stuff, but it was an amazing show none the less.

[MrConeman]

To be perfectly honest...Every song on the setlist is awesome, and I will enjoy (FotD was one of the big ones I was hoping for).

But for a band with such a massive back catolouge (full of awesome songs) to play the entirety of a new album is ludicrous, 5 or 6 songs, I would have understood. I would have hoped for a better setlist for my first time seeing Maiden.

Seriously though, its still going to pwn the face off me and I'm still hella excited to go see them.

[pate]

I think it's perfectly legitimate. They have a new album, which they are promoting. It's not their responsibility to play everyone's favorite songs every time they tour.

[Josh]

I think it's perfectly legitimate. They have a new album, which they are promoting. It's not their responsibility to play everyone's favorite songs every time they tour.

very good point. plus, they tried playing Charlotte the Harlot on the last tour and swapped it for Wrathchild, as too many of the fans didn't know CTH :angry:

[pate]

Wow. I would love CTH. When I saw them last summer, at my show they decided to swap Wrathchild with Murders in the Rue Morgue, which was a nice surprise.

[Josh]

they did both at mine :confused:
they came on while a tape of The Ides Of March was playing, and launced into Murders... at the drum-roll part, just before the vocals start.

[crag]

very good point. plus, they tried playing Charlotte the Harlot on the last tour and swapped it for Wrathchild, as too many of the fans didn't know CTH :angry:
Wow, those fans suck...

i guess i don't mind to much about the set list, in the end of the day i'm seeing Maiden and no matter what they play it will kick *** :)

[the_uber_penguin]

Paschendale!

****!

[Josh]

but The Longest Day will be on the setlist, IMO doing that and Paschendale would be overdoing the modern war thing, although it would still be awesome.

[MrConeman]

Paschendale!

****!

123!
After posting my last comment I went youtubing for Maiden videos, and watched the Paschendale performance on Death on The Road (again) and it dawned on me I wouldn't see it live :upset:

Really though, I am just glad to be seeing them, and I am extremely looking forward to it, AMOLAD is brilliant, and I know it will be even better live.

[Quiksilver26]

That was just the set for the first show too, so there's a possibility of the setlist changing slightly. They could be waiting to see everyone's reactions to each of the songs. I would kind of like to see maybe 1 or 2 more songs added at any rate though.

[Josh]

but remember that the new album is 72 minutes long, or something like that, so that limits how many others they can do...

[MrConeman]

Even with that though, that is a pretty short set list tbh.
I was just coming to post exactly what Quiksilver said, It occoured to me that maybe they played all of the songs at the first gig as a sort of launch of the tour special, and mainly to see which songs go down the best so they can keep them for the rest of the tour.

A long shot, but I have no doubt the set will change at least a little.

[Josh]

it will almost certainly change a bit, but when they first finished the album, they did say that they thought the album was good enough to be performed all the way through live.
either way, it'll be an awesome show, i can't wait. it'll be my 3rd time seeing them.

[Quiksilver26]

Yeah, it'll be my 2nd time only, I think i'm even more pumped than before first show though :). I've seen so many people complaining about the setlist.. but in reality it's a fricken tour to support the album. And the album just so happens to crush all in its path.

With that said, I also cannot wait for a Golden Years tour :D

[Deth]

Interesting set list for sure. I was expecting the whole album, but the other songs seem a little unorthodox. Why not:

Hallowed
Iron Maiden
The Trooper
Paschendale
Infinite Dreams

And yeah, Out of the Shadows does seem out of place.

[Quiksilver26]

Paschendale would be the greatest blessing ever received... anyway, I just read a post on another board (the official IM forum actually) from people who were at the first show. According to them, Bruce announced that they'd be playing the entire AMOLAD album as a special treat... so MrConeman's assumptions about it being a tour kick off type of deal could be right on.

[pate]

Or maybe as a special treat to North American fans for this tour? Or for everyone on this tour?

[-The Frank]

If we all remember the DoD tour, they actually played more songs of their album, but since the crowd reaction wasnt very good,they changed songs out for like wrathchild and stuff.

My first maiden gig was extremely short (50 minutes anyone?) so they just went though all the classics which wasnt bad.
it went like
1.Intro/ides of march (missed this came late)
2.Wrathchild (missed this came late)
3.the trooper (cam right when bruced yelled 'THE TROOOOOOOPER! when of the best experiences of my life)
4.revelations (i didnt know this song at the time so missed out badly)
4 1/2. Burce yelled about corporate america for a while.
5. Phantom of the opera (amazing, never thought i would get to hear it)0
6.Run to the hills
7. Number of the beast (niko threw one of his drumsticks into the corwd durring this song which was kind of un-usual)
8.Hallowed be thy name
9.Iron maiden (my first time seeing eddie :extremelyhappy:)
-break-
10.running Free
11. Sactuary


They blew me away.

[pate]

I had that set, except exchange Wrathchild with Murders in the Rue Morgue. Indeed, they were amazing.

[-The Frank]

I would have rather had MITRM, if i was actually there to see it. Tis one of my alltime favorite maiden songs.

[HellBourne]

hahhahaha MAIDEN IN 4 DAYS!!!! WAHOO!! MY DREAM COME TRUE!! XD XD

[Lord Abortion]

1. The setlist looks damn fine to me.
2. Hallowed be thy name is better than anything else ever.
3. I'm glad I'm gonna get to hear TETMD and 2M2M.

points 2 and 3, exactly. :)
TETMD is one of my favourite maiden songs, and 2MTM will be such a sing-along song :)

the whole of AMOLAD, ****ing score, get in there......
and it looks as if i shall be seeing them 3 times in december (touch wood, cross fingers etc...), :D

Die With Your Boots On

[LegionsofMarduk]

I'm insanely happy that I'm getting to see them. After wanting to see them for 15 years and not being able to, this is by far my most anticipated concert in a very long time, if not ever. BUT...I am going to be disappointed if they don't play their classics. I know they've got a new album out that they're promoting, but seriously. 99% of the people going to this tour will already be familiar with the band. Most will have already heard their new album. And honestly...do Iron Maiden really need to promote themselves? They're one of the biggest names in the history of rock and metal. I guess I just think that they should play more of their classics. Obviously throw in a few new songs, but don't skimp on the rest of the playlist. Oh well. I'm still geeked about going and I'll still love the show I just really hope they do play more of their classics.

[crag]

:cool: guess who has just downloaded a bootleg of the 1st concert of the new tour :cool:

Mother****ing Megaupload doesn't like working on this computer for some reason, so I couldn't dl it :( Is it audio and video, or just audio?

and a very nice arrangement of wrathchild:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-9Ccbb4irU

[pate]

Those vids were awesome. Paul still has the voice.

[Atica]

Yeh, pretty cool. He went to my country like 2 months ago and performed witha local band, it was great.

[pate]

Wow. He is so awesome.

[crag]

yeah Paul still rocks :)

too bad he looks bloody scary now:p

[pate]

...but that's a good thing.

[the_uber_penguin]

I wish the sound on my computer worked...

I'm having to be old-school and use my ultra-temperamental CD player.

[Joe]

For those of you going to see Iron Maiden on this tour...

Don't get your hopes up.

At my show (and the other two shows from this tour), they played 15 songs

10 of which are from A Matter of Life and Death.

Yes, they are great. BUT, They didn't play:

The Trooper
Aces High
Number of the Beast
Run to the Hills

and many more. They played 2 Minutes to Midnight, Hallowed Be Thy Name, Fear of the Dark, and two others I don't remember.

It was awesome, but don't go in expecting some awesome old stuff.

[pate]

We already knew about the setlist.

[-The Frank]

yeah Paul still rocks :)

too bad he looks bloody scary now:p

His solo music isnt that bad either. The cd i uploaded for you all had some pretty nice tunes on it.

NP: The Longest Day

i love the "enter hell's gate" bit, Bruce sounds so evil on that part :evil: and on all the verses really.
one of my favourite songs on the new album. i just downloaded the bootleg as well, so i'll give that a listen soon.

[pate]

The bootleg is pretty enjoyable.

[Josh]

i'm printing off a load of lecture notes, so i'm going to de-compress it and listen in a few minutes. are all the tracks tagged?

[JamJar]

I would download the bootleg but I don't want to ruin the live experience of the current tour (that and my computer is totally out of memory)

EDIT: Page 1000 claimed :cool:

[Josh]

gah, you bastard.
:p
i know i'll still love seeing them live, it's just because i'm curious as to how the songs will turn out live.

[pate]

Yes the tracks are tagged.

[Josh]

goodie. just putting them on my mp3 player, then i'll give them a listen :)

EDIT: just put it on now, i love that they use Mars from The Planets as the intro piece :)

EDIT2: onto the end part of Brighter Than..., IMO the songs are coming out much better live. :)

[-The Frank]

NP: The Longest Day

i love the "enter hell's gate" bit, Bruce sounds so evil on that part :evil: and on all the verses really.
one of my favourite songs on the new album. i just downloaded the bootleg as well, so i'll give that a listen soon.

That part is one of my favorite parts on the whole album :)

Could anyone possibly upload the boot to YSI or something, megaupload keeps saying that there is not enough ports for my country :(

[the_uber_penguin]

It's all about the second verse for me:

" The rising dead, faces bloated torn
They are relieved, the living wait their turn
Your number's up, the bullet's got your name
You still go on, to hell and back again

Valhalla waits, valkyries rise and fall
The warrior tombs lie open for us all
A ghostly hand reaches through the veil
Blood and sand, we will prevail"

[-The Frank]

^ Yeah, maiden have really surpassed themselves with lyrics this album. Bruce really knows how to write 'em!

[the_uber_penguin]

Yep.

Some amazingly good riffs as well.

Most of the ones from TROBB, as well as the counter-riff behind the bit where Bruce is singing "For the greater good of God!" come to mind.

[crag]

It's just a damn good album overall i can't fault it in any way, even live it sounds fantastic :)

[pate]

Indeed.

[Josh]

i reckon it sounds better live, the vocals definitely do.

[LegionsofMarduk]

I finally caved in and downloaded A Matter Of Life and Death this weekend. I was trying to hold out until I had some money to actually buy it, but if that's 98% of what they're playing on this tour I figure I better at least know the songs. I'm still going to buy it when I get some money though. It's decent. I don't think it's nearly as good as some reviews I've seen have made it sound. It's definately not "The best album by Iron Maiden since Number Of The Beast" as so many have said. It's still good though.

Exactly one week from this time I'll be almost to Detroit to see them. :D

[Josh]

i have to wait 2 months 7 days :( but it should be worth it :)

Thats exactly how i felt when i bought the album. But, it really does grown on you. At first i was a tad dissapointed, bur after a week or so it got to the point where it was the only thing i was listening to (still is :p )
Just give the album some time

To Josh: Great find with thsoe videos. I wish i could go see them :(, ive been so bummed out lately that i dont get to catch this tour

[LegionsofMarduk]

:) 6 days left for me

Same show I'm going to. :chug:

[Quiksilver26]

:wave: nice, I really can't wait. Also not looking forward to the day after haha... I've got class at 8, should be interesting to say the least =\

Anyone else see this clip..? it's like 5 seconds long, sneak preview for the Different World video (i think) http://www.ironmaiden.com/homepage.php?section=0&subsection=0

it's the oct 11 news link

[LegionsofMarduk]

Yeah I'm taking a half day at work. I figure if I leave work at around 11:30, by the time I get home, get changed, pick up the guy that's going with me and get on the road it'll be somewhere between 12:30 and 1:00. About a 3 hour drive puts me in line sometime between 3:30 and 4:00. Plenty of time to stop somewhere and get a case of beer to drink in line before we get in. And I'm taking the following day off work altogether so I'll be able to sleep in a little bit since I probably won't make it home much before 3:00 in the morning.

[pate]

Sounds like a fun day Legions. A couple concerts I went last year to required 5+ hours of transportation. I got home at 6am for both of them. It was fun until about 4am. :p
