Looks like Iceland are more importand then merry olde Englande....*sigh*

[QUOTE=icebase]Ha. hmm might need a new bass soon and i have something like £700. Might get a new phone too. hmmm so much money and i dont know what to do with it. So what's up in the ashman world?[/QUOTE]

Ashman's life has been pretty great lately...

I'm moving out into my new Maiden pad, it's gonna 'kin sweet 'cos there is one of the best Venues (and pubs, pound a pint, need I say anymore?) in my city around the corner, so when my band kicks off we can gig there easily.

I've been listening to a lot of Cradle of Filth lately, I'm starting to hear bits of Maiden in a lot of their songs...weird.

i have a dislike of cradle of filth - no particular reason, their music just doesnt appeal to me. i'm getting more into black sabbath though.
also, i just borrowed dragonforce - sonic firestorm from a friend, its one f[U][I][/U][/I]ucking amazing album.

[QUOTE=icebase]First yea i agree the maiden bassist needs to get rid of the plectrum. But sum 41 are sh*t. When they start taking maiden songs and doing covers of them i'll kill something.[/QUOTE]

I think you read that wrong. He meant cone from sum 41 needs to lose the pick. Steve HArris never EVER uses picks, just very low action and very bright flatwouds.

I wouldn't mind seeing sum 41 with maiden. The sums play metallica songs better than metallica does.

Fu[COLOR=White]ck[/COLOR]ing hell, what an album. Guess who was listening to it a year before it came out?.....yer, my uncles good mates with Adrian :smoke:

That's what I wanted to say, thanks. I'd wager that Sum 41 is the best -nay- the ONLY good band of their genre. Really!

Iron Maiden are the only good band of the eighties..... except genesis. Iron Maiden was unlike every other band from their time period, they were alot more 70's ish than everyone else.

Iron Maiden wasn't the ONLY good band of the 80s. I mean, you ever heard of G3? Or howzabout Yngwie Malmsteen. Iron Maiden was the BESTEST band of the 80s. Now yer gettin' something. Well, I just purchased Fear of the Dark. I can see why it debuted at Number One. The entire album is friggin' amazing...*drool*

[b]ATTENTION![/b]

There is a thread in the Pit about the 2005 Ozzfest lineup, and Maiden apparently on the main stage. Don't listen to it! There are no links to any official stories in the thread, so it's probably still a bunch of crap.

Just don't go wandering into the Pit and getting your hopes up, is all I'm saying.

wow ... slow today
anyhoo... Megadeth is keeping most of my music life concentrated on them because of the gig tomorrow and maiden has kinda taken a back seat for a while
but at least they get to make wanker signs at elderly drivers and moon their arses out of the window...

|I think there is a sublimable message in one of their songs. I think its the lord's prayer? :confused:

I wasn't angry....

Look link time....

To link Cradle Of Filth to Iron Maiden...

Hmm... they are both very melodic bands, and both use very "researched" (for want of a better term) lyrics... both are pretty cheesy too! Hahahahaha... ha.

english guys... stop yer cryin'!

hell hath no fury like eddie scorn'd...

Wow, this thread is really long. I never knew there were so many Maiden fans out there! When I first started playing guitar, I built all of my metal chops from maiden. I remember getting piece of mind when it first came out and was completly blown away by the riffing on it. I had never heard anything so heavy in my life! I quickly picked up beast, killers, iron maiden and maiden japan. At one point, I could throw on any of those records (yes, I still have them on vinyl) and jam with any of the songs. By the time 7th son came out, I had almost everything they had ever done (singles, live stuff, demos, bootlegs, picture discs)....including some stuff only released in england. I became a little disenfranchised on no prayer and unfortunately lost interest in anything new of theirs because of it. So I guess I'm just a classic maiden fan. I remember spending hours practicing trills just trying to match dave murrays lead work. Murray/Smith will always be the greatest metal duo for me! :thumb:

ok, according to [url]www.reading-festival.org.uk[/url] maiden are headlining there this year...

First post in MF for about 2 years!!! Anywho, going to see Maiden in Paris in June 25th... Gonna be awesome...

be it at a festival or on tour

1500 posts!!! :chug: :chug: :chug: :chug: :smoke: :smoke:

Welcome; it's nice to have an old-school Maiden fan on board. Hopefully you can help us out if we ever have tough questions about Maiden, even if your user name is "Redneck Willie" spelled backwards.
