I started posting around 40-ish

well, cover me in eggs and flour and bake me for 40 minutes...
page 200,eh?
anyhow, enough stealing lines from blackadder,
Blaze is a much better singer than Paul and, crucially, in his own solo career, frontman
he realy wasn't that good a maiden live performer from what I have seen but remember this is a man who's only tour experience before 7 month long tours with maiden was 3 weeks round the U.K with wolfsbane...
we really shouldn't judge a great vocallist on his two maiden tours, or on V11 instead listen to his incredible vocals on x-factor and agree with me...

Yes, but the crucial thing with Blaize is that he really didnt pull Maiden together like Bruce did when D'ianno left. He could have been alot better than he was.

he was more than a little overawed at joining such a massive band and I feel so sorry for him as he did nothing to warrant his leaving
he was really unlucky that bruce wanted to come back and he was out of the band like that... he took it so graciously and just accepted it like a man ...
which is admirable and why I defend him so much...

Yeah, he was a great singer too. After much thought, voted Powerslave.

i got Virtual XI yesterday and i really enjoy it alot.
i think futureal is probably the worst song on it though.

I had different views on this album. its probably their worst album, with Futureal being the best song on the album. What do you guys think of the song Virus? I don't think it is up to Maiden standard, but hey thats just my opinion.

Best Maiden Songs- Powerslave, Hallowed Be Thy Name, Number Of the Beast, Aces High, Prowler, Be Quick Or Be Dead and Holy Smoke.

Yey! Birthday.. :p

today?

[QUOTE=sack-man]today?[/QUOTE]
yeh.

don't like virus much but V11 is a decent album but not as good as X-factor, best songs on V11 are- lightning strikes twice, Futureal,. when two worlds collide, como estatos amigos
I dont like the clansman or angel and the gambler album versions though the single of the latter was shortened and better...


Happy birthday Eddie!!!

would give b'day reppage but I

I actually like Virus. The video is crap though.

ahhh it's OK but there are much better blaze songs
i.e the whole of X-Factor...

Yeah the x factor is my favourite non bruce album.

i think the best song on their would either be man on the edge or lord
of the flies.

metoo :(

happy b-day anyway;

i liked blaze as a singer but his song writing talent is no where NEAR as good as bruces.

just d/led COB's aces high. i like it.

But, the singing isnt very good. The solo does kick maidens *** though.

I have yet to hear that COB cover. What do you guys think of Arch Enemy's cover of Aces High?

Same here.

[QUOTE=GurS]just d/led COB's aces high. i like it.[/QUOTE]
I love CoB, the maiden covers are fantastic. Out of interest, has anyone heard CoB cover of Europe - the final countdown.

the arch enemy version is good, apparently metallica did a cover of remember tommorow and run to the hills at a festival somewhere

[QUOTE=supreme maidenite]the arch enemy version is good, apparently metallica did a cover of remember tommorow and run to the hills at a festival somewhere[/QUOTE]

Opeth did a cover of Remember Tomorrow. I can't say how good it is because I haven't heard the Maiden version :upset:

[QUOTE=Iron Man]Opeth did a cover of Remember Tomorrow. I can't say how good it is because I haven't heard the Maiden version :upset:[/QUOTE]

That song is a great song. One of my favorites.

I like the Paul Dianno Maiden better then the Dickenson Maiden.

[QUOTE=GurS]just d/led COB's aces high. i like it.[/QUOTE]
it is very good. their version of the trooper is also very good. loads faster than original.
also, if you're an ozzy fan as well get CoB's cover of a shot in the dark.

[QUOTE=DBoon's Ghost]I like the Paul Dianno Maiden better then the Dickenson Maiden.[/QUOTE]

So do I at the moment, the only maiden album I seem to be listening to recently is killers.
