nope. :( hopefully somewhere in the UK. i think ashman said he was going to paris but ive got a feeling im wrong and i cant be bothered to read back about 20 pages

Same here,
I'm crossing my fingers for a definite U.K tour.

yeh, a proper UK tour would be great, then i wouldnt have to travel to a festival. and it would be cheaper.

same hope they come to homeland uk

[QUOTE=sack-man]nope. :( hopefully somewhere in the UK. i think ashman said he was going to paris but ive got a feeling im wrong and i cant be bothered to read back about 20 pages[/QUOTE]
Yer i think it was ashman that said that, could be wrong, but I also can't be bothered to check.

Does anyone like Holy Smoke?
That's probbably one of Steve Harris' most tounge in cheek lyrics, I think.

its one of my favourite songs. i have it as my ringtone.

i like holy smoke

i like the lyrics alot in holysmoke aswell

We just got to keep a lookout, there could be UK tour dates announced soon.

Amazing, amazing.
My ringtone is the little harmonized solo part from "2 Minutes To Midnight"
:cool:

Sure, I love Holy smoke, but in my opinion something better could've taken its place on the Edward the great cd.

Aces High or Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, for example.
I'm not a huge fan of that Greatest Hits, a double disc set would have suited Maiden better methinks..

[QUOTE=i_am_Jimmy_Page]Aces High or Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, for example.[/QUOTE]
Yer, exactly the songs I was thinking along with POTO.

Yeah. Every Maiden album has some amazing songs that wouldn't be put on a greatest hits of theirs ever though.

[QUOTE=rik]Yer, exactly the songs I was thinking along with POTO.[/QUOTE]
Hmm..
Off the first album, the song I would choose to represent Maiden at their best would probbably be: Phantom Of The Opera or Prowler.
It's hard to choose because the Di'Anno era Maiden are so much different to the Dickinson and Bailey era Maiden.
Just as a silly side note, which Maiden Guitarist do you think is the coolest?
For me, It has to be: Adrian Smith.
MAN does he rule :lol:

[QUOTE=sack-man]nope. :( hopefully somewhere in the UK. i think ashman said he was going to paris but ive got a feeling im wrong and i cant be bothered to read back about 20 pages[/QUOTE]

I was gonna see them in paris, but the plans sort of fell through...you know how things are. The Bastards at the SLC decided not to give me my full uni loan ('cos they screwed up), my mum wants back dated rent and the person I was supposed to be going to Paris with hasn't spoked to me for a while...so :upset:


Has anyone heard the B-side Mission from 'Arry? It's supposed to be Steve and Nicko having an argument after Nicko punched a Roadie and Bruce recorded it without them knowing :lol:

Coolest Guitarist would easily be Davey, I mean he is always smiling...he is like the Fonz, but happier :thumb:

:lol:
I'll have to download that, it sounds classic :lol:

Dave has a brilliantly babyish face.
But look at Adrian Smith!
He's so cool, if he was my dad...MAN :cool:

I actually change my mind, Adrian is the coolest; he did have a mullet in 1988... :)

The picture in the DOD booklet is the epitomy of cool.

Only 'cos of the naked ladies :naughty:

Hehe, Dave would fit right in on the folk scene. I bet he has Tony Rose's entire back catalogue.

Everytime he goes into a solo he always has a look on his face which says "I didn't know my fingers could do that!" (and I have one which says "[i]I wish[/i] my fingers could do that")

i think he looks more like he just had his *** felt

There all good in there own way i think-
Dave for his smile
Janick for his energy &
Adrian for his style and amazing stage presence

[QUOTE=YDload]I don't think that song has one, it just ends with Paul screaming "Torture me back at ya lair!"[/QUOTE]
Actually the Enhanced CD that I own just ends...but originally it does end with that wicked line...i don't understand why they would take it out.

He says it once to close out with the music, then there's a pause, and then he says it again without any other instruments.

That second time is heard on every copy of the song I've ever gotten off the Internet, but on the actual album it's missing!

bloody hell I missed alot...
four pages in two days!
anyhoo...
paul is too fat to win in a fight and bruce is to small
I have the feeling that blaze might win as he is pretty muscular...

yeah but bruce could use his agility skills picked up from fencing to doge blazes blows :thumb:

your sure that blaze is not just fat too? :p

Blazes eyes would be too far apart.

that means nothing to me as i dont have a clue what blaze looks like. oh well. did anyone other than me read the maiden thing in kerrang?

I was listening to a thing with Bill Oddie (English birdwatcher and T.V documentarian for Eddie's benefit) on the radio last night and thought it was Bruce
it really sounded like him... wierd

that is very strange, and i dont really think he sounds like bruce

i have 3 iron maiden cds
piece of mind
power slave
and number of the beast
and i love them all

oh yey we're back onto the cd collection topic.
Dance of death
rock in rio
edward the great
fear of the dark
powerslave
iron maiden

well theyre my genuine ones anyway, i have 10 albums on my computer (inc. the above)

piece of mind has still life
that is one of the best maiden songs

meh, i dont really like it. i prefer NOTB. although PoM has the trooper and flight of icarus.
