can i join?

Thanks for the insight Frail. Can any other bassists here do a little of the two-finger triplets? I can do them sometimes if I build up speed.

^^^^

you'll hear it pop up in alot of bands now and then, but no one really uses it for their foundation of the songs like Harris does, basically because it would be like mimicing his style to much. Lost Horizon does it quite often actually, download "sworn in the metal wind" for a good example. I hear some prog rockers do it occasionally, but mostly for fills to match snare or double bass rolls. I think it helps to go in decending order with your fingers, "ring, middle, pointer" over and over, but some people prefer it the other way around.

Anyone else misinterpret maiden lyrics?

"Just what I saw in my old dreams were they
reflections of my Walkman stearing back at me!!"

^^^^

That's what I used to think it was,also.

:lol:

I'll join.

Has anyone seen the parody (lyrics) for the The Trooper on metalstorm.ee? It's pretty good. [url]http://www.metalstorm.ee/fun/view_fun.php?id=2[/url] - THE TRIPPER :lol:

And the legions grow.....

lol @ those lyrics

wish i could hear someone sing em.

[b]THIS MAY RUIN NO MORE LIES FOR YOU!!!![/b]


sounds like Bruce is saying "NORMALIZE"

"Were they reflections of my woman staring back at me?" Another Number of the Beast misinterpreted lyric. Like I've said before, I'm bad at understanding British singers.

OMG!!! i just saw maiden live in concert (in montreal) and they blew my mind!!!!!!
I wasn't such a huge fan but i loved they're music, and i had heard a bit off of dance of death, but they're live performance was mindblowing, with the giant reaper in the backgraound and eddie comming on stage, and the the guitarist with the white guitar throwing his guitar six times 30 feet up in the air and catching it, and the way bruce would just dance in front of the drum

omg it soo amazing, iron maiden are truly gods

heres a miss intereperd lyric from Tailgunner "nail that fokker kill they son" whereas i used to think he said "nail they father kill they son".

and Metalhead72, im glad you enjoyed them so much...another under the spell of Edward :) hehehe

My friend and I were going to go see that show in Montreal, but I had gay exams. Man it would have been sweet.

Maiden are soooooooo sweet live guys! And montreal Croud kicks ***

[QUOTE=Deadsy]My friend and I were going to go see that show in Montreal, but I had gay exams. Man it would have been sweet.[/QUOTE]

never an excuse!!! I drove 3 hours on an exam night to see Blind Guardian and Symphony X, than back afterwards to study....there is no excuse when it comes to metal, espially MAIDEN!!!!

Maiden will stop touring for a while after this tour...so yea..its well worth it even with exams

[QUOTE=FrailandBedazzled1979]never an excuse!!! I drove 3 hours on an exam night to see Blind Guardian and Symphony X, than back afterwards to study....there is no excuse when it comes to metal, espially MAIDEN!!!![/QUOTE]

It would take me 8 hours to get to montreal, so if I left right after exams which is like 11 am, I would get there at around 7:30 pm and then go to the show, leave at 10:30 - 11 pm get home at like 7:30 am then go to school and my body can't handle that, so shut up.

[QUOTE=metalhead72]and the the guitarist with the white guitar throwing his guitar six times 30 feet up in the air and catching it[/QUOTE]

That will be Janick Gers :p :D

Okay, well I'm leaving in a half an hour. This is going to pwn so much. :cool: UP THE IRONS! x3943493483 I will tell all about it when I come back. Later guys.

MAIDEN IN NYC \m/


Make sure you report back with a set list...i want to see if they changed anything from the European Tour.

UP THE IRONS \m/

Don't get your hopes up by the way, its "only" about 10-15 feet.

you can tell me all you want, but tell it to Harris :angry:

wonder how much it would cost to book maiden for a personal gig lol. All i need to do is win the lottery, purchase an aircraft carrier, a jet, and tons of food. Then ill let Bruce fly the boys to the aircraft carrier and have a huge jam in the middle of the ocean lol. Gotta play Rime of the Ancient Mariner though and musnt shoot any albatross.

quick question: what album is The Trooper on?

Piece of Mind

Question: what's that one lyric in "Invaders" that I can't seem to figure out? Here's the context:

Longboats have been sighted and the evidence of waaaaaar has begun
Many Nordic fighting men with swords and shields gleeeam in the sun
Call to arms defend yourselves get ready to stand and fiiiight for your lives.
[i]Justice bringin' comorant[/i] so be prepared, don't run, stand your grooooouu....

Okay, what's that line really?

Judgement day has come around so be prepared don't run stand your ground

^ Thanks! I actually have the lyric booklet, but this is easier. It also lets you guys who have been Maiden fans longer to show your knowledge.

i always try to decode maiden lyrics without looking in the booklet. However there was a little incident with Rime of the ancient mariner:

"through the [color=white]fuc[/color]kin' ice"

really : "through the fog and ice"


lol

^ haha i thought it was that too at first but i figured it was through the fog and ice

anyone going to any of their CA shows with arch enemy?
