[QUOTE=brooksy1986]Iron Smegging Maiden are one of the worst bands around. Bring back Paul D'anno and all is forgiven[/QUOTE]

Who, there has never been a Paul D'anno in Maiden. A D[B]i[/B]'anno yes.
D'anno no.

Paul Di'Anno was the worst singer. I'm not saying he was a bad singer, but he was the worst. He was too punky for a heavy metal band. Bruce is best, then Blaze, then Di'Anno. Anyone agree?

^No I disagree ! For me Paul was their best singer and Clive was their best drummer ! And their first two albums zwn all of the rest albums.

Heavy Metal is the attitude of punk, with the energy of hard rock.

I do not agree at all, Blaze was easily their worst singer, I can't decide out of Bruce and Paul, it depends what mood i'm in.

I don´t know why but a few years ago I was almost obbsessed with Iron maiden. These days I don´t like´em at all. More into metallica and dream theater now. I´m not saying that they´re a bad band. Just that I hate them now. Only good song is
"Aces High"

First time I heard Iron Maiden was while playing Carmageddon. :D Though I've only come to realise it was them last year. I just loved listening to Man On The Edge and I still do. Other Maiden songs I like are Aces High, Be Quick Or Be Dead, 2 Minutes To Midnight and 2 A.M.

P.S.: Steve Harris is the man! :D

Blashpemer! If you say you were 'obsessed' with them, i think your faveroutie song now would be something other than 'Aces High.'

:rolleyes:

[QUOTE=88_Fingers_Joe]Exeptable loss my friend, Rush are the best. Have you seen them live? They truly rock.[/QUOTE]

I have seen "Rush in rio" yes.. but never seen them live, and probaly never will :( aint they sooon to be in their 60's? whats the chance of them going to norway... :upset:
anyway, Rush in Rrio are awsome...

Rush is awsome....

Geddy Lee is awsome..

that is why i have An Fender Geddy Lee Jazz bass coming in the post.. hope i gets it to the gig next week...

Btw its joe. They are awesome live, i saw em only a few months ago, they will tour agen!

basically i was brought up on Maiden and i feel as a former fan that musically they aint progressed in the same way that Pantera or Machinehead have/did. And Bruce's voice in just embarrasing, that said Paul Di'anno had a very good Bon Scott vocal thing goin on. I just think they released 4 superb albums but should give it a rest.
Best songs are : Transylvannia, Number of The Beast, The Trooper, Iron Maiden and rime of the ancient mariner(?). Just sayin they had there day and now they just churn out the same stuff.

[QUOTE=ThE_B.P.C]Btw its joe. They are awesome live, i saw em only a few months ago, they will tour agen![/QUOTE]

How did you get banned?

Agreeing with someone who flamed a noob. And brooksy, how can you say maiden chrun out the same stuff when you use Pantera and Machinehead as examples, they both sound/ed the same through out there career! And your not a hardcore fan if you think those (all of the most mainstream songs, expect mariner, which you could have just picked of the last page). Re-evaluate them by listening to stuff like Revelations,
The Prisoner, Hallowed Be Thy Name, Murders In The Rue Morgue and similar songs.

Nicko is better than Clive ever was.

what r u on about a bon scott vocal thing paul dianno had a much deeper voice than bon scott dianno couldnt hit note as hgih as bon could

Deep voice doesn't equal limited vocal range. I know plenty of baritones who can sing falsetto, (heck I'm one of them). Paul DiAnno could hit the high notes as well as anyone, including Bon Scott (who didn't really hit that many high notes at all, just tenor/alto ones).

Here's a new topic for discussion: What Maiden songs have you noticed that sound like other bands' songs?

I think the verse in "Flight of Icarus" sounds a lot like Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song."

the trooper = Black Sabbath - paranoid...

I don't know about other bands' songs, but The Clansmen sounds like an elaboration of Dance of Death (the bass riff)... actually, because of time, I suppose DoD would sound like a simplification of The Clansmen.

Oh yeah, South of Heaven sounds like Seasons of the Abyss, not that thats really relevant.

The solo in "the fallen angel" sounds a little similar to some of the things that ozzy osbourne/zack wylde usually do.

What does everyone think of the "No More Lies" video

Haha.....well I am beginning to believe more in that "Geddy-the-trooper" comment I heard someone say :p . Nothing will take away my vote for Maiden though.

[QUOTE=ForiegnPenguin]Nicko is better than Clive ever was.[/QUOTE]
