[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]Hello all. I have also been away for the weekend, but at work. 18 hours in two days. :([/QUOTE]

ah, you can take it :p

i dont have an job.. i realy need one... to get more maiden-shirts and an steve harris tribute bass...(to get this Maiden related again.. :p)

Yep, I'm getting myself a new Guitar this week. :cool:

What do you reckon I should purchase myself? Suggestions/demands are welcome. ;)

(Budget of A$550/US$385/about 290 pounds, I think)

save alittle more and Get an Fender Stratocaster.. :p

But Jackson Guitars are pretty cheap for the time... the guitarist in My band found an Jackson Kelly and loved it, but he hadnt any money to get it.. but he also played it through a Mesa Boogie rig :p

Hehe, well, maybe I will save some more. Not only do the boys use Fenders, but so does Gilmour. :D

I can be a double fanboy. :p

:lol: Yeah! You have to get it with Maple fretboard though.. I love Maple fretboard :D

Nice! Well, off to bed now. See you tomorrow, Eddie. :thumb:

I'm saving for a stratocaster at the moment!

I'm saving up for a maple or birch snare, undecided which yet.

Ah well.

Maiden! WOO!

dont play an instrument yet, will hopefully one day manage to save up for a bass. will then proceed to learn bass to a lot of maiden songs. :thumb:

Saving up for an Gibson SG
/gets beaten.

I already like my drum kit anyways, Yamaha Stage Custom Advantage with two A custom crashes (16 + 17 dark crash), A Mastersound hats and an A ping ride.

hmmm.. im currently saving up for:An G&L L2000, an Fender 70's precision, Fender Geddy Lee Jazz Bass,Musicman Stingray, Charvel Sandimas(all of them with Maple Fretboard.:p all of them basses ofcourse)

Joe: Not Gibson man! not gibson.. :upset: they should get no support.. they slaughtered Trace Elliot...(me and 'arrys amp brand..:p)

I really don't like Zildjian cymbals. I have only ever heard one Zildjian cymbal I like: K Custom Dark Crash

I'm a Paiste/Sabian man myself (although idealy I will one day use only Paistes.)

Order of cymbals I need to replace on my kit:

Paiste 14" 200 Hihats for Paiste 15" Signature Sound Edge Hi Hats
Pearl 18" CX300 Crash/Ride for Paiste 18" Rude Crash/Ride
Sabian 20" Pro Rock Ride for Paiste 24" Dimensions Mega Power Bell Ride
Sabian 18" AAXplosion Crash for Paiste 18" Signature Crystal Crash.

After that, get a Paiste 20" Signature Heavy China, 20" Signature Full Crash, 17" Signature Fast Crash, 14" Signature Thin China, 13" Dimensons Meat Crunch Hi-Hats, 20" Rude Ride/crash and 20" Signature Power Crash


here's hoping :chug:

^he use paiste cymbals.. wich they dont pay him enough money..

zildjian cymbals are pretty expensive i reckon
i agree with GurS i like paiste and sabian

I'm saving up for a Ibanez DT200, it's one sweet guitar

I was just wondering, what type of Fender does Maiden use, Mexican or American? Or do they get a custom jobby?

A Question !
-------------

Hey Maiden fans, I need your help. Does anyone know the real reason of Clive leaving the band??? I like his drumming much more than Nicko's, especially in Transylvania (no offence to GurS :thumb: )

In Rock in Rio, H says "If you party non stop for five months, you'll be dead". That's what Burr did. He went out and partied everynight on the beast on the road tour, and supposedly he even played one gig with a bucket next to the snare coz he kept throwing up. It had such an effect on him that he and the band wisely split ways - he had no control over himself and if he would have stayed in maiden he would have gone the way of Kieth Moon.

And while I feel that Nicko IS the better drummer, clive came up with more inventive drum beats, that I can't argue.

^ It would have been good to hear Clives drumming with the level and quality of production on the DoD album, but i must say, i prefer Nickos drumming

[QUOTE=The Mercenary]^ It would have been good to hear Clives drumming with the level and quality of production on the DoD album, but i must say, i prefer Nickos drumming[/QUOTE]

Quality of DoD production.. to me its sounds compressed.. not like one guitar to the left, one in the middle, one on the right, the drums in the middle below the guitar and the bass above the middle guitar.. it sounds like all is just crashed into one place at the same volume...

^ i know what you mean, it does sound a little overdone, but i think what i meant (and should have) said was id like to have heard clives drumming recorded at this quality....

[QUOTE=GurS]

And while I feel that Nicko IS the better drummer, clive came up with more inventive drum beats, that I can't argue.[/QUOTE]

i agree......anyway clives struck down with MS now isnt he

a lot of clives drumming is much more technical, but nicko's bass triplets in out of the silent planet own.

nicko is really fast on his bass drum, one of few metal drummers using a single pedal/bass drum

Transylvania is the best song ever!

Hmmmmmm....i like phantom of the opera on the beast over hammersmith album best

i disagree with transylvania being best song ever. POTO is far better.
Eddie: i agree with you about the production quality on DoD squashing all the sound together, but its still one amazing album.

Phantom of the Opera is a superb song, so much fun to play on guitar.

my favorite Maiden songs to play on Bass: Phantom and Rime.. they are purely AWSOME songs.. and great fun to play...,...(wow...dejavu...)
