i love maiden they're my fave band
but not all of their albums are quality
some of them are mediocre and are generally overrated by maiden fans
examples: fear of the dark & dance of death

meh, fear of the dark wasn't great i must agree, still decent though

what pulls fear of the dark out is afraid to shoot strangers and fear of the dark
ok and maybe even be quick or be dead
but the rest of the album was utter bull**** if you ask me

from here to eternity has its moments

but the chorus is so repetive and broring
hell aint a bad place hell is fro here to eternity

[QUOTE=MaidenMadness]but the chorus is so repetive and broring

most of the choruses are repetitive

wicker man
brave new world
run to the hills
the trooper

to name but a few

trooper doesnt have a chorus ;)
and true most chrouses are repetive however you dont get the repetive feeling on many of the songs
its all about how the vocal sings it
and bruce's voice was generally ****ed up at the time fear of the dark was recorded

tha trooper chorus goes "aaaaaaaahahahaaaaaaaaaahaaa"
I don't know whether you've ever heard it? :rolleyes:

sorry, anyway, the songs released in the early 90's albums have alot of a stadium rock feel, IE bring your daughter, from here to eternity and so on, that reflected alot of the sound at the time really visible on live at donny

its just a sound bruce makes
**** its not even listed in a booklet as a lyric

choruses are not based on lyrics they are merely the focal point in a song (me thinks)

imo for something to be chorus it has to have a meaning
lyrics that will hold the entire meaning of the song in them
and aaaaaaaaaahahahahaaaa doesnt have a meaning
anyway thats just the way i feel about the subject

what about instrumentals

well instrumentals cant have chorus's cause they have no lyrics
listen to lets say careful with that axe eugene by pink floyd
you cant say it has a chorus
imo its not the same thing if a part of music repeats itself and if part of lyrics keeps repeating itself

um, OK my mention of the trooper thing was irony, but OK :)

it does have a meaning I think, certainly when It follows verse 3- "without a tear I draw my parting groan" it seems to follow that theme

could be recreating what many people in the light brigade were doing

Of course the non-verbal singing thing can be a chorus. Especially if it's "The Trooper" we're talking about.

Anyway, today I finally heard an Iron Maiden song on the radio! It was nothing special, just "Run to the Hills," but it was the first time I can ever remember hearing them on the air.

I win the argument

bah, this radio thing isn't such a good invention after all

So they're only playing stuff from their first four albums at Reading. Slightly annoying, because I won't hear Paschendale, No More Lies, Blood Brother or The Wicker Man (or anything from the Blaze period.)

On the plus side, Sanctuary, Iron Maiden, Run To The Hills, Children of The ****ed, Hallowed Be Thy Name and Number Of The Beast will almost certainly feature, along with other cool stuff like Phantom Of The Opera and The Prisoner.

well they're bringing out that live dvd if you want to hear the later stuff :thumb:

[QUOTE=AB/CD]well its been released on the early days[/QUOTE]

It's not the full concert, it's a double CD in the archives. There are only about 7 or 8 songs on the Early Days.

children of the d[u][i][/u][/i]amned and the prisoner aren't on the setlist. and they dropped charlotte the harlot and replaced it with Wrathchild :upset:

[QUOTE=sack-man]children of the d[u][i][/u][/i]amned and the prisoner aren't on the setlist.[/QUOTE]

Where Eagles Dare isn't it?

[QUOTE=ashman]Where Eagles Dare isn't it?[/QUOTE]
yeh, the full version. revelations, die with you boots on, drifter, etc are on.

[QUOTE=ashman]Where Eagles Dare isn't it?[/QUOTE]
that is the song I'm most looking forward to I think

[QUOTE=sack-man]children of the d[u][i][/u][/i]amned and the prisoner aren't on the setlist. and they dropped charlotte the harlot and replaced it with Wrathchild :upset:[/QUOTE]

No! Phallacy!

if you go on [url=www.ironmaiden.org]this[/url] site there's setlists posted, go in Maiden talk and then the Early days tour forum.

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]that is the song I'm most looking forward to I think[/QUOTE]

it drags on to much, if they chopped the interlude in half it would be more enjoyable...im really looking forward to hearing Drifter live though :)

the firing bullet noises annoy me in where eagles dare. i hope they take them out when they play live.

Im excited for when they tour for the second half of their Iron Maiden Years, being Powerslave to....im guessing they'd either cut if off after Adrian left or after Bruce left.

i'm guessing it's gonna be Powerslave ---> 7th Son, there was a rumour about it a few weeks ago on the IM BB.

nice, i figured that would be that one. After Adrian left it was a "dark age" for the band that ended in 99' when Bruce and H returned, thank Eddie for that!!!! Ill love the second installment of this series, Somewhere in Time is my absoulte favourite by a landslide.

<------------ Chicago show i am so there...my third Maiden show, hell ive seen them twice now in Chicago and only once in me hometown of St.Louis :rolleyes: Im sick of driving Harris!! haha

i dont think so
this was up to piece of mind right?
so then the next would only be powerslave & seventh son
doesnt seem right to me
at this time they were a big band so there's probably more of their recordings that there was @ early days
i'm thinking the next dvd might be up until fear of the dark
i mean bruce's leaving the band had bigger impact that adrian's so i think thats what is gonna be the next phase

Leeds will be my second maiden gig

I always feel sorry for blaze, he is a magnificent vocalist but people dislike him for little or no reason, X-factor is certainly my second favourite maiden album after piece of mind

virtual XI is my fave maiden album. its really jsut all the bruce fanboys who hate blaze cos they all think maiden is about run to the hills and number of the beast
