Car insurance is a bitch, hey?

yeh, considering i have a small car it will cost £1300 minimum to insure, but i have to pass my test first....lol. although because my dad runs a garage he may be able to find me a cheaper policy with a commercial insurance company

Well I just got The Number of The Beast album (My first Maiden one) absolutly love it. Every single song, even 22 Acacia Avenue which ive heard bad things about. And I was dumbstruck by Hallowed be Thy Name. Well thats enough of me, but could you guys tell me if dickinson ever left Maiden (Im a maiden n00b)

dickinson left after the fear of the dark tour, i think that was 1993? and he came back a few years later, 1999 or something. they'd released 2 albums with blaze bailey doing vocals while bruce was away, but the first album after bruce came back (brave new world) IMO is one of their best. (it was also their first with 3 guitarists)

Okay thanks. How does it sound with a third guitarist? And what was the need for two lead guitarists in the first place?

it was just how it worked out, dennis stratton left after the first album, and the brought in adrian smith, the way he and dave write songs tends to make some of them twin lead.
adrian left after seventh son of a seventh son, so they got in janick gers, but when bruce had left and was doing his solo work he got adrian to work on his solo stuff with him, and when he rejoined maiden he wanted adrian back as well, but by then janick had been in the band for 12 years and they didnt want to kick him out, so they just had a 3 guitar line-up

[QUOTE=floyd.the.barber]anyone know what album women in uniform is on :wave:[/QUOTE]

Floyd, the song women in uniform was released on a special live EP. Side 1 has women in uniform (studio version), and side 2 has drifter and phantom of the opera both live. I believe it was released right before the killers album because it still had dennis stratton playing on it.

[QUOTE=rippa32]Okay thanks. How does it sound with a third guitarist? And what was the need for two lead guitarists in the first place?[/QUOTE]

The twin lead guitars was mainly to harmonise with each other, it's not really noticeable on Number of the Beast album (I can't think of a song that does use both leads). A good song that uses the twin lead guitar extremely well is; Infinite Dreams, the riff before and after the solo and with Steves bass all the way up to 11...*drools*

I knew that Bruce left and stuff and adrian came back but but why'd they leave? Maiden kicks ***, one of my favorite bands.

Also, question, Afraid to shoot strangers, that lick right as it gets heavy is that an example of the 2 lead guitarist harmonizing? sounds like it. Thats one of my favorite songs.

Bruce and Adrian left to pursue solo projects.

That bit on Afraid to shoot strangers that you're talking about; I'm not too sure, it just sounds like they are both playing the exact same things...

Mr. Kcender is nearly entirely correct. The EP was called "Live!! + One" (The one being Women in Uniform), and featured the studio version of Women in Uniform, and three live songs: Phantom of the Opera, Drifter and Sanctuary. It was released a few months before Killers.

Yeah, that's the one. I breezed through the old collection this morning to find out what album it was on. I guess I just bothered to read the 'Live' part on the bottom corner and accidentally omitted the '+ One'. Mornings are a little hectic in my house! :thumb:
