Are Iron Maiden gonna play anywhere else in the UK this year apart from Reading & Leeds? I wanna see them but the festival line-up was so poor this year that I couldn't bring myself (even for the love of Maiden) to get a ticket.

no, reading and leeds only. i'm going to leeds, on the friday, just for maiden

****, looks like I'm going to have to fork out for Reading on Sunday. On the plus side I get to throw **** at Marilyn Manson.

hahahahahahaha. unfortunately i'm going to have to get to the front during manson so i'm at the front for maiden.

is there anyone out there who liked Maiden better before Dickinson versus after he joined?

personally no, but i prefer Di'Anno to Blaze.

well i do like Dickinson better too but ive had arguments with people who thought Di'anno much better...i like all maidens stuff tho its all good

Bruze > Blaze > Paul

Paul would not have fit what came after the self-titled and Killers, he was too "punky" whereas Bruce had the range and that "x factor" (pun not intended) for the rest of the stuff.

progression though.[/QUOTE]

Learn Revelations, my favourite song for the Bass. I love the verse bit, it's a good stretch. :thumb:

I personally like Blaze, each time I listen to one of his songs, I like some more.

Dickinson > Blaze > Dianno.

Nickos really name is Michael Henry McBrain, Bruce Dickinsons real name is Paul Bruce Dickinson and has his own Record Company called Air Raid Recods.

Just found this cool site, it's got loads of facts on it. [URL=http://www.songfacts.com/artistfacts/getArtistfacts.lasso?combinedartists=Iron%20Maiden]Clicky[/URL]

Dickinson > Dianno > Blaze.

I was thinkin of learning Montsegur on Drums. I just looked at the tab.

What is that song on the Early days. You have to watch that 20th century, thingy. Its where Clive is keeping the rythm with the bass drum then does a snare roll and into the beat. Anyone know what it is?

I was just reading those facts. Whats the deal with the feud between Bruce and Metallica?

I never knew there was one...

what about flight of icarus, number of the beast and brave new world? maybe go so far as to say run to the hills but thats really pushing it as its overrated

Iron Maiden is the best metal band ever imo. Bruce vocals are insane , dave murray just striaght up TEARS IT UP , and nicko is the best drummer on earth.

My take on Maiden =)

[QUOTE=thelittledrummerboy]I was just reading those facts. Whats the deal with the feud between Bruce and Metallica?[/QUOTE]

I don't actually know, I know Bruce or Steve keeps saying "We're not like 'kin Metallica".

This is bugging me actually, I'm might post in the nasty Mettallica Thread ask them there :naughty:

Sorry i already voted for laiho

[QUOTE=shadow_stalker]Sorry i already voted for laiho[/QUOTE]

The Shame! The Shame! :upset:

bloody hell! your a disgrace for the Maiden army! your not a clansman anymore!" :mad:

Quickly, vote Adrian Smith in the other poll....

already did

i voted adrian and dave :thumb: how many go through from each poll?

can anyone suggest me some fairly easy song by iron maiden that song good with just one guitarist. thanks in advance for any help.

( not that any maiden songs are easy )

DiAnno > dickinson > blaze


i think di anno is the best because of the guitar work they did when he was in the band. now most of their songs are galloping power chords. like the trooper, flight of icarus, and run to the hills for example. they are great songs anyways but the guitar work is nothing compared to older songs like "phantom of the opera"


edit: sorry for the double post.

I voted for the two Maiden guitarists in the polls, even though I really like Dave Mustaine and Kim Thayil.

Also, I have to say that "Prowler" is the best opening song ever. And it's a lot of fun to play.

5

Sadly, Becker won't make it through.

[QUOTE=YDload]Also, I have to say that "Where Eagles Dare" is the best opening song ever. And it's a lot of fun to play.[/QUOTE]


Fix'd

[QUOTE=GurS]Fix'd[/QUOTE]

No way, that's probably their least impressive opening song. It's too long and plodding, but if you're a drummer I guess I could relate.

"Prowler" is a lot of fun to play on bass, and probably guitar too.

/lists all openers better than prowler:

Where Eagles Dare
Aces High
Moonchild
BQOBD
Sign Of The Cross
The Wickerman

Every Maiden opener is awesome. All of them.

Voted for Gilmour and Mustaine. Sorry guys.
