Yes. Although I only have four of them, I could see where it might lead to. Thanks for doing the work for me, though!

Also, a question: who are Steve Harris' biggest influences on the bass? I've read that he really admired Chris Squire from Yes and the bassist from Free, but I also notice a strong Geezer or Geddy influence. Yes? No?

Geddy is a big influence, so is Phil Lynnott of Thin lizzy(Flatwounded 70's P bass anyone? :p) though they are only with their bands on the following list...

Band Influences -- Wishbone Ash, Genesis, Free, Thin Lizzy, Jethro Tull, Golden Earring, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath.
Bass influences -- Martin Turner, (Wishbone Ash) Andy Fraser, (Free) Chris Squire, John Entwistle (The Who)

On Blood Brothers, Adrian's solo is from about 2:55 till 3:10, then Dave's solo goes from about 3:10 until around 3:25, then when it goes into the vibrato/bendy solo @ 3:26 till 3:57, that's Janick :x

Hello new to forums and a maiden fan! Just want to establish a presence on this thread and maybe apologize for any repeats of stuff thats been said, due to the fact that this thread is huge!!!! Which also gives me a warm comfortable feeling..... *creepy glare*

[QUOTE=Eddie-the-Trooper]Janick is awsome... again i have to xpress my love for his solo in blood brothers.... ah... wonderful![/QUOTE]

[COLOR=DarkRed]that is the single most beautiful solo ever..lol. It's stunning. It makes every other solo ever played look stupid. Janick put's so much emotion into it and it just comes out amazing..every time I hear it I just go wow..The only thing that comes close to comparing to it is the part after the fast intro like thing for Fear Of The Dark (RiR). That is also stunning, the croud singing along is just amazing. But Janick's Blood Brother's solo takes the prize..by far. :cool:

Whoa..lol.. :D [/COLOR]

That is REALLY hard to read.

My favorite solos probably Fear of the Dark (RiR of course).

lol

Yeah Fear of the Dark solo is great, I like the original, but I also enjoy the Rock In Rio version, Blood Brothers too, there's like one bend that just stands out so much its like whoa :eek:

Fear of the Dark is a great song.

I knew there was an Eddie but I didn't think it Was the one from Iron Maiden (The album that is) :thumb:

Best solo on RiR IMO is The Trooper by Dave Murray. But then again I Love Them all.
Does the song Iron Maiden have a solo?

i dont know....... but IMO the best solo is Daves in weekend warrior..... my mate tried to play it and nearly broke his hand...

o by the way... iv been listening to POM and iv gotta ask... woth the hell does nicko say at the beginning of Still Life??? it puzzles me...

the start of still life, (one of my top 5 favourite maiden songs) nicko's impression is of Adi Amin, general 80's wierdo.
but backwards. he says "don't meddle wit' 'tings you don't understand" recorded when he was very drunk to piss off the religious right in england and america who stupidly accused maiden of being satanists.

hello maidennut, welcome to the maiden thread

stew, don't use that red text, man it's illegible

Cheers For That..... Btw Do You Know Of Any Plans For The Part In The Maiden Dvd Series.... Continuing From Early Days?

[QUOTE=amateurbassist]Cheers For That..... Btw Do You Know Of Any Plans For The Part In The Maiden Dvd Series.... Continuing From Early Days?[/QUOTE]
the next part will be the dance of death live album/dvd which will catalogue bruce's return up to the present, a bit odd I know, i think they planned the next one to be live after death (powerslave- probably seventh son)
and that will be released sometime soon. Dance of death dvd will probably be out for christmas and will be a cross between early days and rock in rio hopefully :thumb:

cool cheers for that..... hey i dont suppose you could tell me who is opening for maiden in Paris

DragonForce are supporting Maiden at a few gigs.
