no youll give it to me :thumb:

Man, reading some of these lists I realized how pathetic I am in terms of Maiden fans. Most of you guys have all of their albums, I still only have The Number of the Beast, Powerslave, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son and Dance of Death. :upset:

Yup, I think it's time for me to get a job

Woe is me.........

Better than me...all I have is Piece Of Mind, Powerslave, and Killers. And the only one I actually bought was Killers. :upset:

Killers is a brilliant album though...it's extremely overlooked compared to other Maiden albums.

oh yeah, I love killers, yup...some excellent tracks on there

killers has to definatley be one of their best albums
IMO its got some of their best material in it

murder in the rue morgue

killers
purgatory


well pretty much the whole album is awesome

Don't forget Drifter. They played Drifter in Iceland. It was great. First time listened to it to the end.

The Killers is a great album. Their music is getting little heavier from the album Iron Maiden but it was still punky. I think there was still little punk in The Number of the Beast but it was gone in Piece of Mind. First they change singer then the drummer.

I'm new here so please don't talk much down to me.

welcome to the forums :)

I suggest you read the rules stickied at the top of the page.

Just contribute to the thread and you won't be talked down to.

I like murdes in the rue morgue or killers the best, and wrathchild.

Don't worry thats good for a first post. :thumb:

I think Maiden was sabotaged.
 

WAS ANYONE THERE TONIGHT!? WTF HAPPENED TO MAIDEN DUDE!!!!! BIGGEST UPSET EVER!!! Is there some sort of beef between them and ozzy or sharon or something. I will give a review.....scroll down if you just wanna read the Maiden parts im talking about.

So me and some buds arrived at the Hyundai Pavillion at Glen Helen, in San Bernardino California. It was a pain to find parking but we managed, and we parked next to a bunch of dudes going into the stadium. Well as they were leaving they said "Hey go ahead and sit on those chairs in the shade if you want." Pointing over to the chairs they were chilling at, we thanked them and drank our tall cans there. Then some dude comes up and says "Who the **** are you?" We said some dudes said we could sit here, his wife responded with "Thats our nephew." so we talked to thos 40 something year olds about Maiden, metal, and Ozzy. Good Conversation. We finished the tall cans and left for the concert, Mudvayne had just finished and Slipknot was coming up. So as we were walking up we were stopped by a sign that read "Beer, Water" We asked the lady how much, 2 dollars for a beer! Yes, excellent as opposed to the 10 dollars they charge in the venue. So we had a few more. We left in and we just made it to see many ladies flashing us there "goods" some not so good. Slipknot came on and it was good. They played The Blister Exists, Spit It Out, Wait and Bleed, People = SH!t, Duality, The Heretic Anthem, and Finished it off with Surfacing. Good setlist, had the people loving it. Then the moment of truth, Iron Maiden.

This was the last date they had in the states, so i had high hopes. I dont remember what song they opened with, but right after they went into The Trooper. Bruce of course dresses as a Red Coat and waves the British flag. Its classic, and a Tradition maiden fans love. Not this time though, some ******* in the middle of the set somehow got on to the stage and waived the American flag all over the stage. I thought it was part of the act considering we are in America, but Steve and Bruce looked over like "Wtf?" He was escorted off stage buy 2 stage hands. I have nothing against america, but what was this guy trying to prove, anyways it gets worse. After trooper they was a short break in the action when Nicko and a drum tech had to clean off his kit cause of a 'kin egg. AN EGG!!!!! Some guy apparently brought in a carton off eggs and starting throwing them at maiden! Bruce was pissed and you could tell. he said

"Obviously some ****er went down to the supermarket and bought eggs only to throw them at us, **** YOU! **** YOU! If i were a Maiden fan i would make sure this guy is beat to the ground and brought back up in 2."

They went on, or did they? Next thing happened, They were in the intro of Hallowed be thy Name, and Bruce is sitting on the stairs singing away but looking into the crowd, then all of a sudden he gets up and walks toward the crowd and says

"Thats the ****er! Yeah YOU! With the ****in Glasses! You ****er, 'spitting all over the stage the band' (something along those lines) **** you!! If i wasnt up here i would beat the ****in **** out of you, but i would get sued! **** you! I'll ****in **** on your head!!."

Maiden fans were delighted, but not Bruce. They set was cut extremely short due to the fact that someone kept shutting off there PA system. It was definitely intentional apparently. At first the guys looked at each other and was like "wtf?" but Harris being the MAN! that he is said too keep playing. They did and the power came back on, but this happened about 4 times. Cutting Phantom of the Opera short, Run to the Hills short, Hallowed be thy name short, The Iron Maiden short. I WAS PISSED! They left the stage to come back and do an encore. Bruce came and opened with

"All these so called Ozzy fans are disgracing the event. The reason we do this is for the fvckin people! and the fans that have supported maiden and metal!!"

They then did Running Free and Sanctuary with no problems (PA System wise) Running free was definitely extended with a lot of commentary from Bruce saying stuff like sorry this sh!t was being screwed over by the fans and stuff like that. Then at the end of there last song Bruce was going to say some stuff being pissed already, but guess what happens. HIS MIC gets turned off. Not the PA his MIC! So he can't say anything but is being displayed on the screens around. Then the most annoying voice ever comes over the PA and says

"OZZY OZZY OZZY OZZY OZZY OZZY, muthafvckas, OZZY OZZY OZZY"

and that was being played over and over through the day between acts. So bruce cant say anything so he gives up with the Mic and looks to the crowd and says the words Maiden, Maiden, Maiden, Maiden, i was able to see it because of the Screen, so we all started saying MAiden Maiden Maiden, instead of Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy. Then the wierdest thing happened. The band left definitely upset and dissapointed, and as the stage hands came on to re arrange the set for Sabbath, Sharon Osbourne (Yes ozzy's wife, who is also the Executive Producer of ozzfest ((Or at least the one who runs it))) came on stage with a mic and said.

"Thank you all for coming to this event we appreaciate everyone, the fans, and the CREW! but let me just say that BRUCE DICKINSON IS A PRICK!! A PRICK!! Iron Maiden the band is great, great guys, but bruce is a prick. Thank you all and enjoy the rest of the show."

everyone was in aww. What just happened? I mean given all the sh!t they went through, they STILL put on the best show then all the other bands. Thats amazing. They were faster, better, and rolled through the songs and put on a great show (when the PA wasnt sabotaged.)

I mean i honestly believe that it was all Sabotage, if not that intentional. Theres no way that much crap can happen to the band in only a 40 minute set. they were scheduled for 55, but they were cut short. And also Sharon coming out herself to say bruce is a prick. That basically ruined the night for all the maiden fans. Needless to say a good amount of people had left after maiden, and DURING sabbath. I thought they honestly they (maiden) still did the best show of the day, they were incredible!. Bruce said at the end...

"Don't worry, we WILL BE BACK!!"

i hope so, i love maiden and they were put through some crap. All in all i think there is some sort of beef between Bruce and Ozzy. what i have no idea, but there definitely was some tension. Also if anyone there wants to correct me on some things by all means go ahead, this is only what i remember (tall cans) so go ahead and post away.

^that is [I]f[/I]ucking crazy^

what was the date of the show

sharon is a dick

Jesus, that sucks major balls. I've also lost any respect I ever had for Sharon Osbourne.

Has anyone bought the Trooper single through Firefox? It seems determined to go nowhere after filling in my details and clicking purchase. The help menu doesn't really help aswell.

On the Sharon thing: Theirs MP3's of 2 of Bruces rants (aparently he made 5) and Sharon calling Bruce a di[SIZE=2]ck[/SIZE] in a topic somewhere in the Early Days Tour subforum on their official Message Board.

Heres a link to sharons comments and a couple of bruces rants
the first one from bruce is pretty funny

For Gods sake.

i don't think they were booed off, from what i've heard the crowd were chanting maiden right until sharon came out and then when sabbath came on all the maiden fans left

The crowd had nothing to do with it, It was Sharon's cronies. To say America is dumb because Sharons to immature to deal with an argument like the old woman she is isn't the fault of the audience. As far as I'm aware the audience didn't even boo Maiden.

That is a really weird list of songs to upload.

I would have been so pissed if I went to that show though.

I was at that Ozzfest show. Trust me, Maiden weren't booed off. Iron Maiden fans outnumbered Sharon's stupid egg throwers 100 to 30,000. All Bruce had to do was raise his arms and they were silenced by the tons of people chanting "MAIDEN! MAIDEN! MAIDEN!"

Ozzy did show up and Sabbath played an awesome show. I didn't show any disrespect for that. Ozzy is still the man. he didn't sound as bad as I expected at all. It was a great experience.

However, Sharon is a monster. People started saying Iron Maiden were playing to a track because the PA kept turning off. People started leaving for that, not because of Ozzy coming on. Me and my friends knew they weren't playing to a track and were convinced they weren't when the bitch came out and called Bruce a prick. We knew she was behind it.

"Death before dishonor my friends" were Bruce's last fighting words before his mic was turned off, and the Maiden fans knew not to dishonor Black Sabbath.

/enters Maiden thread after a many moon sabbatical

'sup guys.

I don't think there is any beef between Bruce and Ozzy, there were planning to steal taxis...

Sharon is a bitch, I've never liked her...

I think Ozzy has nothing to do with it. It's probably all Sharon.

Yeah. If Ozzy was healthy enough, he wouldn't have let it happen.

Sharon Osbourne can piss off...maiden are much much better than Sabbath anyway, now or ever... I know It wasn't Ozzy or real Sabbath fans, just that stupid whore and her wankery plus I really like sabbath and they played a killer show at Download, but she can't handle the fact that Maiden are bigger and better than Sabbath

MAIDEN!
MAIDEN!
MAIDEN!

Did you listen to the audio tapes of Bruce ranting?

Yes, The only booing I picked up was him talking about having a shorter set, Then when he mentioned the idiots throwing stuff. So they they wern't booing the band, They where booing the idiots trying to ruin the setlist.

could I have a linky to said ranting?

Its in the first post. You might get afew 'server to busy' thingys. Just keep refreshing the page every couple minutes and you'll get in.

Thanks for the link Glass Onion. Sharon's rant makes me lose any respect for her that I might ever have had.

Bruce sounds really angry in his second rant, still inspirational though.

Death before dishonor!

I hope that next year, if there is a Gigantour, Maiden comes back and headlines. They never belonged on Ozzfest anyway.

Maiden isn't going to go on after Megadeth; remember that it's Dave's idea, so like Ozzy he's always gonna be headlining if this thing goes well.

But Maiden could be "co-headliners" like DT was this year.

[QUOTE=Shadius]is it tru that iron maiden are power metl lolz[/QUOTE]

Not now, we're all bashing Sharon Osbourne at the moment, come back later.

sup thread, 1st time i've been on in nearly 4 weeks i think....been caught up in moving house, still don't have internet at the moment, at my cousins house 'til wednesday, then off to see Maiden at Leeds on Friday :D

Ollie, will you be at your mum's or your dad's on friday morning, or do you want to make your own way to Hexham station? you need to be there at 7.30 if you make your own way there, if not i'll sort out what time to pick you up on wednesday night, when i'm back from cambridge.

When I saw Iron Maiden, Bruce gave Sabbath a verbal kick in the balls. He was talking about how they are coming out with a new album and they are not some reuinion band masturbating there ego for 10 years.
