Iron Maiden

[Arcarsenal Ghost]

All right, all of you fans.
Why the hell are there so many Iron Maiden threads in here.
This will be the official IM thread, so post in here.

[RockerGav]

*makes bed*

I don't think I'll ever leave.

What are your opinions on Dance of Death?

And does anyone have a setlist for the DoD tour? *Is going*

[sensitiveorgan00]

*Wants to go*

[wyldechild71]

I think DOD is an amazing cd, and they havent lost their touch. The melodies are very well written, and IMO this cd has some of their most powerful songs yet. My fav has to be Rainmaker or Dance Of Death, and I can listen to the whole cd without skipping a track. Awesome guitar work on here too, they havent "evolved" with nu metal(no Im not ripping on it, Im saying they still do leads).

Big thumbs up for me. :thumb:

PS: I duno the setlist, only playing 2 shows in the states :( but I went to Give Me 'Ed til Im Dead tour, amazing ****.

[superpeer]

Is this an 'only fans' thread or is criticism allowed?

[HondoII]

my opinion:

IRON MAIDEN > ALL OTHERS

i will be attending the two LA shows with quite a few members of the IRON MAIDEN board. DOD is awesome. 4.5/5

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

<--------- busy upping the irons 24/7, bu t you guys already knew that!

[HondoII]

thats right:

\m/ UP THE IRONS \m/

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

<----- has on "Montsegur" as we speak (umm i ment type lol).

Only fans:angry:

haha, just kiddin.

[AntiPop356]

Man, everyone ripping off the Death Heads fourm and making these "official" threads...:rolleyes: :lol: anyways, what can I say? Iron Maiden is, IMO, the DEFINITIVE metal band. Really. I still have yet to see any band do the guitar harmonizing thing better and you just can't step to Harris's basslines. Maiden rules, period.

And I REALLY need to see one of their shows before I die...

[sensitiveorgan00]

^ Same here. I can't believe I missed the show when they were playing at Madison (NYC) a few months ago. :upset:

[HondoII]

well there will be 4 maiden shows this january so dont miss em!

[sensitiveorgan00]

I'll try not to. :thumb: Do you know where they're playing?

[HondoII]

Fri 23 - USA - New York Hammerstein Ballroom
Sat 24 - USA - New York Hammerstein Ballroom
Mon 26 - USA - New York Hammerstein Ballroom
Tue 27 - USA - New York Hammerstein Ballroom

[sensitiveorgan00]

Oh man, nice. I might have a chance to see them! Thanks a lot.

EDIT: Do you know which month?

[HondoII]

JANUARY 04'

[sensitiveorgan00]

Thank you very much. ;) Hehehe, one more question, where did you get the dates? Sorry If I'm asking too much.

UP THE IRONS!

[HondoII]

no problems at all

MAJOR LINKAGE TO MAIDEN (http://www.ironmaiden.com/homepage.php?section=0&subsection=0)

[Kirk's Puppet]

I love Dance of Death, first Maiden CD. I don't know much about the Maidens but they rule!!

[sensitiveorgan00]

Cool, thanks. I appreciate it. Now I hope to buy tickets when they're on sale.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

I drove 6 hours to see them for the second time, but New York nad LA are a bit to far of a drive from St.Louis, Chicago was do-able. lol.

[OpiateForTheMasses]

I listen to mainly death metal like Cryptopsy, Nile, Skinless, In Flames, Fear Factory, Psychotogen and Soilwork. I wanna hear some Iron Maiden songs, but I dont know many. Can you recommend some?

I've heard:
Number of the Beast
Run to the Hills
Rainmaker

[jadedS.B.CA21]

Whats their best CD? I want to buy one.

[RockerGav]

Originally posted by Superpeer

One word.

WHY?

And some good Maiden tracks:

Aces High
Fear of the Dark
The Trooper
Paschendale
Out of the Silent Planet

somwhere in time 1986
brave new world 2000
seventh son of a seventh son 1988

[toolboy84]

You should get Powerslave. I'm listening to The Duellists right now.

I can't wait for december 3rd and 6th. I'm seeing them in Newcastle and Sheffield.

[forever autumn]

iron maiden was what got me to pick up guitar...i thought dance of death was a good album and i was happy that their still going strong unlike so many other bands who promise better albums although there way past their prime....btw everyone should go pick up the visions of the beast dvd and rock in rio...both of them are orgasmic

[Ramsey]

wow i can already tell this thread will be tons more popular than the metallica thread.

[superpeer]

I don't wanna offend the army of Iron maiden fans,
but Iron Maiden does not appeal to me at all.
the whole, skulls and satan epic thing isn't really my style.
and the vocalist sings way too high for my liking,

I might change my opinion though, i'm open for new music

[RockerGav]

Superpeer: Try some Di'Anno stuff then.

Paul Di'Anno was the old singer, or even maybe the Blaze Bailey era.

Question: If I want the best of Di'Anno era Maiden, do I buy Killers or Iron Maiden ?

[superpeer]

I'll try that

[The Oracle]

Iron Maiden is better in my opinion. Songs like Phantom of the Opera, Remember Tomorrow, Transylvania, Sanctuary and (of course) Iron Maiden make the album a classic. Although Killers does have a fair few gems of it's own :D

[mulletron]

Yeah, Iron Maiden is better than Killers.

Anyone going to the Earls Court gig on December 12th?

[HondoII]

If wrathchild was on Iron Maiden then it would be the perfect cd. But my fav is still Number of the Beast and LAD

[Mars Volta]

I'm going to see them in a week at sheffield,can't wait!

[naboo]

I really like Purgartory on Killers, but i dont have Iron Maiden. I just got Some where in Time yesterday and i thought it was real different from the three albums before whcih i have, but its so good. Is Seventh Son as good as Somewhere in Time, is it likke it? Im still gonna get it, but im just wondering

[sensitiveorgan00]

The Clairvoyant is also a good song.

[DestroyerChris]

i love iron maiden. they're my all time favorite band. my fav. song would definitly be fear of the dark...especially the live in rock in rio. i wouldda killed to have been there! i can't wait to see them in january (in the states). i just hope they swing by somewhere near d.c. but if not then well, i just have a bit of driving to do huh??? gotta see maiden no matter how far away from d.c. they come.

up the irons!

[HondoII]

they arent going anywhere but Cali and NY for the DOD tour...but its rumored that they might tour with priest later in 2004.

[mullens]

First of all, Maiden ****ing rule!! I'm currently listenign to powerslave and playing along to it. I just ahd Killers on aswell a fine piece of classic Paul D'ianno Iron Maiden. For the people looking for the "best" Iron Maiden album there isn't really one out there. they are all works of art. Powerslave or Number of the Beast is probably the ebst way to go for someone who's just getting into them. Brave New World is also an exellent choice. one more thing if anyone knows the solo to where eagles dare please post a tab or something because I'm having difficulty trying to figure it out.i don't know why though it isn't overlly difficult.

[Metallicat1987]

Are tickets on sale???????!!!! if they are where can i get them!!

[k_dawg]

the best song is 'the nomad'
get right blitzed and chill out with that sweet melody

:)

[HondoII]

ticket sales arent announced yet...my guess is around early/middle december...go to ticketmaster.com and search for maiden...they wont have any ticket info so enter your email to have them email you when tix will be on sale.

Iron Maiden is much more enjoyble than Killers.

ever notice its the riff to "the number of the beast" backwards lol.

[RockerGav]

Thanks, judging from the responses here, i'll go with Iron Maiden.

And The Clairvoyant is the one that starts off bass only?

[sensitiveorgan00]

i'm thinking the opposite, but both are my favorite maiden albums of all and killers is my favorite maiden album of all time :thumb:

[Brahm_K]

Iron Maiden.. amazing band. Steve Harris goes up there as one of the best bassists ever. They are one of the bands that has an incredible amount of amazing songs, so you can never decide which CD to buy by them since each one is amazing as hell. There was a period where I disliked some of their songs, but I found they redeemed themselves with Brave New World, and Dance of Death is an amazing CD. Out of the 3 most popular classic metal bands (Sabbath, Priest and Maiden) I love Maiden the most.

[Pastorius]

I am going to see Iron Maiden very soon on the Dance of Death tour, in Cardiff!!!!!!! So glad they came back to the place they came from (UK, not Cardiff)

I cannot wait!!! If they play Fear of the Dark or Judas My Guide I will literally jizz my pants.

[Thunder Fingers]

Dance of death is a very good album! Steve Harris is awsome! anybody noticed that the guitars plays very little on the strings under the G string??? Steve Harris Writes it all! :p what a god!!! Jason Newsted got me started on bass, steve harris deffinitive has keept me playing! :D (gonna visit this one often! :p )

Judas be my guide...your on your own there, i guarantee you that is a song that wont ever be played live...like run silent run deep, some Maiden tracks they just wont do. Hell, id love to hear the lonliness of the long distance runner or tailgunner back in the set, when a band has so many good tracks to choose from its impossible to hear everything you want lol. thats what cover bands are for :)

[Thunder Fingers]

bump.... :p

[HondoII]

i would post the set list but i dont want to ruin it for you...but Paschendale live is completely incredible.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^^

i bet it would be, i read in an interview that Nicko wants to play "montsegur" live, but i have a feeling its not on the setlist.

[Thunder Fingers]

ah... i hope they come to norway again... (they probaly do since were next to England!) they are taking down the touring, so probaly the closest countries are getting conserts (Scandinavia, Uk, Germany , France) basicly europe :p

[Thunder Fingers]

WTF? 3rd page? :(

[blackend_shadow]

Newcastle telewest arena 3rd of december ****ing kick ***!!!

[Mulletking]

I'm going to go see them on December 8th in Glasgow but the tickets haven't come yet :(

[zeppelin_rules_62]

12th at Earls Court

[One of a Kind]

Iron Maiden is my favorite band. I think they ****ing rule everything! Here's some good songs:

2 Minutes To Midnight
Aces High
Afraid To Shoot Strangers (Awsome solos)
Blood Brothers
Brave New World
Bring Your Daughter...To The Slaughter
Dream Of Mirrors
Fear Of The Dark
Flight Of Icarus
Ghost Of The Navigator (My fave)
Hallowed By Thy Name
Invaders
Iron Maiden
Rainmaker
Run To The Hills
Sanctuary
Sign Of The Cross
The Clairvoyant
The Evil That Men Do
The Mercanary
The Number Of The Beast
The Trooper
Wrathchild


Basically, any Iron Maiden songs are good. Good albums are Number Of The Beast, Powerslave, Fear Of The Dark, Brave New World, Dance Of Death. \m/ UP THE IRONS! \m/

[Anti-Bush]

What is the name of the boxset of all their cds? (birthday in 19 days) *just realized hes wearing his The Trooper shirt*.

[JMetallica]

****, i cannot get over how perfect seventh son... album is. Pure Brilliance.

Sorry, for my random comment... but seriously, its perfect in everyway. No other album tops it.

[Thunder Fingers]

yeah, its a serroiuse kick *** album! i love the intro to the clairvoyant! (yes, i play bass... THANK YOU STEVE HARRIS!)

Hmmm, I got mine the morning of the day you posted that.

Is it just me or are Number of the Beast and Run to the Hills heavily overrated?

they are...and those songs are always played at every concert...but no matter what you say...when your at a maiden gig you cant help but sing along to those songs no matter how many times you've heard them.

[RockerGav]

Bump

[Maveryck]

Listening to Age Of Innocence right now.

One of the better Iron Maiden choruses, in my opinion. Not a scratch on Run To The Hills or Number Of The Beast, but still amazing.

[RockerGav]

My favourite Maiden chorus would have to be Dream of Mirrors.

[xDeViAnTx]

December 8th in Glasgow, tickets finally came......

[system_dude]

Iron Maiden should quit now...

[JMetallica]

All you English people, are **** lucky! Maiden aren't even coming to Australia for the dance of death tour. :(

Hope they show up with Priest though ... *fingers crossed*

Shut up. Seriously, Maiden should never Quit. They are one of the best bands ever, and no one who has made a proper, educated, formulated judgmentthat of all things music can disagree with.

Maiden shouldn't, and won't ever quit.

Originally posted by system_dude

Yes. Different style, just as good. If not better.

[Lord of Sword]

my favourite band for years, no metal band comes close for me. everyone in the band is amazing at what they do, especially bruce, adrian and dave. and they are still going as strong as they were 25yrs ago, still only making songs they want to, and still managing to the completely change the sound of each album, while still keeping that maiden sound in every one. dance of death has got to be one of the best albums of this year, even for just paschendale and dance and death
and they wont be giving up any time soon, and why should they? they are one of the greatest metal bands in history, and have got where they are today despite being totally ignored by the media. theyve got at least 5yrs left in them

going to see them in 2 weeks at the NEC, last UK date.

dont know if anyone has posted the setlist, but some of the songs are: wildest dreams, paschendale, dance of death, can i play with madness, journeyman, lord of the flies, and a few others off DoD (about 6 in total), and some more i cant remember.

but meh...

iron maiden could kick the *** of any band out there today...EVEN metallica...although back in the 80's they were very good (metallica) they still can never compare to maiden.

GOT MY LOS ANGELES MAIDEN TIX TODAY!!!

2 NIGHTS OF MAIDEN

\m/ UP THE IRONS \m/

[killinginthaname]

ahhhhhh yeah Iron Maiden was one hell of a gig(december 1st point depot Dublin) It was fan-tastic im now a bigger fan of iron maiden than i was weeks ago. I don't want to ruin it for anybody so i'll only say that i thought paschendale live was excellent. do they make them noises at the start with their instruments? I think they do... And even though theres a lot of anti-english idiots in ireland (get over it already) not many people got pissed when bruce waved around the union jack- mebbe he should have also waved a tri-colour....or does the union jack include ireland? ah it doesnt matter the fact is that they were class absoloutly brilliant bruce sounded perfect- they may be 50+ but they sure as hell can do a good running jump... all in all it was the best gig ever now im gonna learn me some iron maiden....lets see...ah yes the trooper... also ages before the concert i got their new album thought it was mediocre but now it is excellent. Stupid cover though...if it was just eddie then it would be alright.....i'm waiting.... in my cold cell...when the bell begins to chime....guess what i'm listening to;)

[hafez]

i recently bought "fear of the dark". i think it's quite good.

[Lateralias]

IRON MAIDEN RULES!!! Hallowed be thy name is an awesome song!

dont dis SOAD, they're good but not as good as Maiden

[stupidboy69]

i need to know some really good iron maiden songs with kickin solos. i want to know this because ive heard 2 minutes and number of the beast and there alright but people say they've made alot better so i need some of those.

The Thin line between love and hate
Die With Your Boots On
The Wickerman

I think Europe, but if you get to see them im NY i would be in great envy :)

[sensitiveorgan00]

Yeah, even if Sonata Arctica doesn't play, it'll still own. Are there any bands opening up for them? Or is it just MAIDEN?

[jerry the race car driver]

Im seeing maiden this tuesday! its going to be so cool as this is my first time i have seen maiden live.

[stoner dude]

Yeah, Iron Maiden are a great band. So much better than Metallica in my opinion.

Does anyone know if they're coming to Australia as part of the Dance of Death tour?

[BC Rich Man66]

The Trooper is the greatest song by Iron Maiden...also Hallowed Be Thy Name....Cradle of Filth sux for trying to cover that...

[Ferrit]

I saw Iron Maiden at the telewes arena and they absolutely rocked

[Thunder Fingers]

my band covered hallowed be thy name.. it went pretty good after we just had 2 weeks to learn it... if we had 1 or 2 weeks more it had been almost perfect :p

Iron Maiden are awsome live, i wish they come to norway again soon...

[Distorted Vision]

4 days! Seeing Maiden Friday at Earl's Court. It's gonna be an awesome show.

It would be real cool if Sonata Arctica were supporting, but alas, we get Funeral For A Friend, some little British emo band. Pah!

half an hour? ive waited over an 1 1/2 hours inbetween sets before, Maiden took about 45 minutes afrer Dio last time i saw them and about an hour after Halford the time before.

[Scragg]

hey, can u guys recommend me an iron maiden cd to buy? ive heard invaders, phantom of the opera, run to the hills, and hallowed be thy name.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^^

those songs are on "iron maiden" and "the number of the beast".

My personal favourites are: Somewhere in Time, Brave New World, and Seventh son of a Seventh son.

Saw them last night. I'll try not to give to much away.

Funeral.. are a decent live band. Not a band I would buy a CD from, and they're songs sound the same, they don't elaborate on them much, but they are tight, good, solid performance. Nothing special, but not a complete waste of time.

But seriously, that was probably the best ****ing night of my life. Paschendale IS awesome live (what the hell did Janick do though?) and the show is amazing.

Send me the setlist on no1biggav@hotmail.com because there were a couple of songs I didn't recognise.

-Gav

[killinginthaname]

Yeah good ol' Paschendale-what he did i do not know....well in dublin funeral for a friend got a cool reception, with a chorus of "YOU SUCK" and such. I dunno they seemed to play one huge song it all sounded the same. I didnt boo them or nothin like that they were acceptable. The lead singer(who seemed to suffer from frequent and violent spasms) admitted that we were all there to see maiden- i believe it was sold out before they were confirmed as supporting- and his constant swinging and catching of the mic got much sneering from the lads....that reminds me, MAIDEN WERE SAVAGE!

[paddy_undefeated]

Did anyone go to a DoD tours show in the uk and actually apreinciate funeral for a freind? i personally thought they were good but they just got loads of greif. although i dont think they really belonged there.

[HondoII]

FFAF sucks...hopefully Anthrax will open for the US shows

[Brew]

I'm off to see Maiden on Monday, yay!:D

I was talking to my dad and he's got a mate where he works that knows Nicko....he got to sit in Eddies head one time on tour, I was impressed.

I would love Anthrax to open for them, but I've got a new idea. What if they had Judas Priest and Iron Maiden tour together, rotating who closed every other show? Now I would pay to see that good of a show!

[sensitiveorgan00]

^ My friend told me that Judas Priest and Iron Maiden might tour together actually. It's just a rumor I think, but if they do tour together, that'll pwn.

Yea big rumor...people believe thats why Maiden are doing 6 gigs in the US...Priest and Maiden = Kick *** show \m/

[ironmaidenrocks]

Firstly I am maidens biggest fan in the world i have all the albums except the 6 cd collection (eddies archive) but i am getting that for christmas so that oughta complete the collection. I have got all the dvds also and i got visions of the beast and dance of death before the came out in cd stores (became friends with the manager). If you ever want to listen to or buy a great maiden album i suggest you listen to/buy somwhere in time...it has fantastic solos and really has the band giving it there all...i could also say this about fear of the dark...it is very melodic and shows a different side to maiden. but the greatest song of course afraid to shoot strangers i suggest everyone gives this a listen at some point..it has a fantastic melody and also has its share of metal.

UP THE IRONS

[mightygod]

does anybody know if theyre coming to mexico anytime soon?? i really want to see them, UP THE FUKIN IRONS, my band has played the trooper like 10000000000000000000000 times, and it never gets old. UP THE FUKIN IRONS X 2.

[MetalMilitiaMan]

so does anyone noe if its just gonna be iron maiden touring by themselves ? if no one minds me asking . . . . . . and i mean by touring in L.A

Firstly I am maidens biggest fan in the world i have all the albums except the 6 cd collection (eddies archive) but i am getting that for christmas so that oughta complete the collection. I have got all the dvds also and i got visions of the beast and dance of death before the came out in cd stores (became friends with the manager). If you ever want to listen to or buy a great maiden album i suggest you listen to/buy somwhere in time...it has fantastic solos and really has the band giving it there all...i could also say this about fear of the dark...it is very melodic and shows a different side to maiden. but the greatest song of course afraid to shoot strangers i suggest everyone gives this a listen at some point..it has a fantastic melody and also has its share of metal.

UP THE IRONS

biggest fan is missing the boxed set? tisk tisk, welcome to the maiden club here at MX, i am Frail...i will be your tour guide :) haha, Maiden are my favourite metal band and i NEVER tire of them.

Same goes. Only my favourite band, period, not just my favourite metal band.

You can't say you are the biggest fan of any band.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

I aggree, Maiden have came and gone as my favourite band many times. they will always remain one of my favourites though.

[RockerGav]

It's always my 3rd favourite that comes and goes, Maiden are ALWAYS first, and Offspring are ALWAYS second.

(Yes I like the Offspring, I don't care what you think of them)

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^

much like me and my love for power metal and classic rock...yet im an obsessive smashing pumpkins fan...just cant explain it!

[ironmaidenrocks]

yea man i love all the 80's metal but it is always maiden who are going to be number one for me...i have ac/dc placed 2nd and metallica third...how about that aye....maiden rules...box set my *** im getting in like 10 days anyway

[zeppelin_rules_62]

the riff at the beginning sound like "last resort" by Papa Roach!

[RockerGav]

Just got Powerslave and Iron Maiden today.

Powerslave is awesome, second only to BNW. I haven't really listened to IM yet.

[RockerGav]

Just got Powerslave and Iron Maiden today.

Powerslave is awesome, second only to BNW. I haven't really listened to IM yet.

Iron Maiden is a great cd, i like it alot more than killers (sorry, personal preference) phantom of the opera, transylvania, sanctuary, iron maiden...those are just some of their best songs they ever wrote. Powerslave is a monster and a half. aces high, los'fer words, flash of the blade, powerslave....again, more of their greatest tunes. Ive had both albums for about 4 years and still listen to them very often, you'll get years of enjoyment out of them!!!! but i still like Somewhere in time better :) lol

[HondoII]

BNW is one of the best albums ever...

my top 3:
Iron Maiden
NoTB
BNW

(DOD is also kickass

[Metallicat]

I still have yet to see any band do the guitar harmonizing thing better

listen to Avenged Sevenfold. I prefer Avenged Sevenfold over Iron Maiden.

*gets ready to be flamed* :p

[HondoII]

*shoots j00 for teh bl45ph3my!*

[Thunder Fingers]

Ah, Iron Maiden are a real lovly album.... Prowler("Walking thru looking oh so pretty, just got to find a way") and Phantom of the opera(I've been looking so long for you now you won't get away from my grasp.) lovley songs... and Running Free! cannot forget!

PS. anybody knows why bruce is screaming "scream for me Hammersmith!" on disc two on LIve AFter death?!

IM RUNNING FREE, YEAH!

[HondoII]

because it was mixed...LAD didnt only consist of Long Beach Arena. It was a whole tour (World Slavery Tour 85')...so since the Long Beach Gig couldnt possibly fill up 2 cd's they added bonus tracks.

I've not listened to IM all the way through, but from what I've heard its more straight up rock than their other stuff. Less deep, songwriting not as strong (IMO) but more raw energy.

From Powerslave.... I bought it for the first 2, knowing them both. After listening to them & Losfer, I thought, its worth it for these 3 alone. I feel it dips a bit in the middle, but the last 2 are awesome, as is the Back in the Village intro.

S'not fair, I've got 5 cds in 2 days, I just can't listen to them all.

[Thunder Fingers]

oh, alright, but all the songs are on the video?

[HondoII]

all the Long Beach songs are.

[ironmaiden2004]

which do you prefer for iron maiden.. ibanez ts9 or boss metal zone????

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

neither, bass played though an amp. pedals ruin music.

[Cowboy from hell]

I think DOD is an amazing cd, and they havent lost their touch. The melodies are very well written, and IMO this cd has some of their most powerful songs yet. My fav has to be Rainmaker or Dance Of Death...
PS: I duno the setlist, only playing 2 shows in the states :( but I went to Give Me 'Ed til Im Dead tour, amazing ****.

I went to that tour, at Download Festival, best festival of 2003 in britain.
My ultimate fave on this album has to be dance of death, it isn't my favourate album but it is a great one, i'm more old school. :thumb:

[RockerGav]

Not a big RATM fan then?

[Moonchild]

Do you guys have AIM/MSN/Yahoo?

If you do, can you please stop spamming this thread and do it there.

[Firecracker]

[Firecracker]

ok then.

right, back to iron maiden.
bruce said at the gig that it wasn't their last tour and they are not going to stop writing music. isn't that good news?

[Moonchild]

Rockergav how were we spamming?

[Moonchild]

r u there? firecrackercheese?

[Firecracker]

yes, i am
spamming i thought meant, going off the subject of what it says in the title.
just because there was a conversation between 2 people, it doesn't mean it's spamming.
and as we were talking about an iron maiden gig when the topic is "the official iron maiden thread", i somehow don't think it was spamming.

[Moonchild]

no. our music teacher chris got all this cool maiden stuff like sweatbands and plectrums and signed cd. he auctioned it at our school

[Firecracker]

how lush.
i'm listening to "flight of icarus"

damien its all 4 u damien

[RockerGav]

Is BNW about the book?

Or Wicker Man about the film?

And I got BNW about 3 years ago.

EDIT: I'm christian, for the religion question.

[Thunder Fingers]

damien its all 4 u damien

???????

[MartyFriedman]

I saw them at the Give me Ed till I'm Dead tour, it rocked! hopefully they'll come here for rock in rio 4...

UP THE ****ING IRONS!

[Firecracker]

i got BNW on 22nd march 2001.

[slashback79]

saw them in Cardiff on Monday they ruled!!!!

no aces high tho :upset:

[Firecracker]

no they didn't play that in london.
what i was disappointed about was that they didn't play montsegur.
my favourite on dance of death.

[HondoII]

The master shall answer all:

BNW isn't based on the book
The wicker man is partially based on the movie
Wont be playing in rock in rio 4 (85% certainty)
Ace's High = High notes = strain on bruces voice
Montségur='Arry didn't want to play it.

[TheArtist]

I wish they were playin their older stuff on tour since I'm a youngin an dcould never have seen them play the stuff i have learned to know ad love. bu tdance of death is good.

[ironmaiden2004]

[JudasTheWrathful]

Man...I wish Iron Maiden/Arch Enemy would come over hear to the West Coast. I would be their in a heartbeat :D

[zeppelin_rules_62]

Yeah, we in Britain got FFAF supporting. Eh, they weren't that bad

[RockerGav]

I got a DoD unofficial t-shirt with GIVE ME ED TILL IM DEAD on the back. Nice!

:evil: You dare rip off the mighty Maiden!!!????

*got an official Wildest Dreams tour shirt at the gig*

And FFAF weren't too bad or too great either.

[Thunder Fingers]

exept that that their bassist was with mercyful fate before, and that he looks like aragon, i wouldnt say that arch enemy are that good.... but deamn, i want sharlee D'angelo's hair... thats heavy.... and hes nmot an bad bassist to... but when i saw them in norway earlier this year, they could have choosen another band, the norwegian maidenfans wasnt too happy with them....

[HondoII]

Arch Enemy Doesnt Deserve To Be Withing 100 Miles Of Maiden!

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

[sensitiveorgan00]

Arch Enemy Doesnt Deserve To Be Withing 100 Miles Of Maiden!

It's a **** load better than FFaF.

And congrats to the King. :thumb:

[Firecracker]

ffaf weren't bad.
but as i was always comparing them to maiden, they seemed a lot worse.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

hey, who does the solo on "drifter"? i cant pick out either of their styles in it to tell.

[RockerGav]

<---------- got Eddies Archive boxxxed set for X-mas! thanks mom....i mean santa!

*drools* you lucky bugger

I can't tell the difference between the soloists normally, can you give me some examples of each of them.

[zeppelin_rules_62]

The stuff off Somewhere in Time countains a lot of Adrian Smith's work
