[QUOTE=cragmaiden666]i'd love to see a Blaze era live show, the only live Blaze i've seen is where the guy spits on him, so i'd love to see him prove himself[/QUOTE]

There is at least one live song with Blaze on it on Visions of the Beast. I think he managed Afraid to Shoot Strangers quite well.

[quote=[Icarus]]oh, and what is the 'fear of the dark' album like? i cant find any reviews, or copys of it anywhere..not even in my local virgin's insane store of Maiden albums. argh! i only ask because 'fear of the dark' rocked as a track[/quote]

It's a good album, it has a few weak tracks. But overall its a very underrated album.

[QUOTE]It's a good album, it has a few weak tracks. But overall its a very underrated album.[/QUOTE]
i personally think its one of the weaker maiden albums

i really like Fear of the Dark, IMO the title track is a bit weak as a studio version though.

FOTD (song) is far superior live. But which version is best? Rock in Rio, A real live dead one or the other one?

i like RiR, all maiden's songs are so much better with the trio :)

i only have FOTD as RiR one, although on Monday i should have the Death on the Road version :D

I started playing bass using the strumming style of guitar. Then I learned to slap and pop. I only decided to try finger walking on the bass about a few days ago and prefer to use 2 fingers (for now). Since Maiden is my 2nd fav band, Steve Harris' basslines were the obvious ones for me to practise. What do you guys think the best Maiden bassline would be for getting into finger walking. So far, I've learnt some of Phantom of the Opera and I think I can play it up to speed, but it could do with more practice.

Try infinite dreams, it's IMO one of the hardest to play (The first half, the second half is easy)

I thought Death On The Road (or as it shall henceforth be known...DotR...I know how much you guys like your acronyms) came out August 30th.

i just got ''Iron Maiden : Edward the great''
its a compilation

fear in the dark RIR
and can i play with madness \m/
all songs are good, but those are my personal favorites

29th in the UK, 30th in the US, because stuff is released on a Tuesday here, as opposed to Monday.

Well, that's good; another maiden fan. I personally don't like that album though, it's their most popular songs, not their best.

Holy [b]s[/b]hit alert the press, Bruce is growing his hair out again :O

woe is me, my mate wants his bass back when school starts again :upset: i may actually have to buy my own bass, lol.

22 hours i will be at Leeds festival :D preparing for an awesome show. i'm listening to the first 4 albums to prepare.

Bruce's hair looks about as long as mine is now, my family are really bugging me to get it cut.

i wonder if any of the rest of them will chop their hair off

just imagine steve with short hair :lol:


EDIT- 800 posts, happy days :D

[QUOTE=sack-man]is that this week's Kerrang you're talking about? there was an interview with Bruce last week, but i couldn't be bothered to buy the mag just for that.

i think the next DVD should do Powerslave ----> Fear of the Dark as well (and with a full World Slavery Tour show on it) , then you get a Blaze DVD and then a Reunion DVD.[/QUOTE]

yea, the one on reading/leeds preview and with a free cd in it.

[QUOTE=cragmaiden666]yep as long as he's a pilot there ain't gonna be long hair on his head[/QUOTE]
Too bad though, screw piloting, someone buy him a flight simulator, then he can have long hair again.

[QUOTE=Muellator]Too bad though, screw piloting, someone buy him a flight simulator, then he can have long hair again.[/QUOTE]
lolz. :lol: . as long as his singing is still awesome........ i need to make an anti-sharon flag for tomorrow.

i can just imagine Bruce sitting at a pc playing flight simulator :lol:

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]Watched the Rock In Rio DVD last night.

All I can say is...wow. The band has so much energy for a bunch of 40-50 year olds (I'm estimating), and their setlist was superb. So much energy, so much greatness...definately worth the 20 bucks I paid for it.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I have that dvd too and they do have a lot of live energy on that dvd, and in every concert they perform at. I love it when they do fear of the dark.

While you're at Leeds I'll be at home from school because of a stupid hurricane.

NP: The Duellists

Great new avatar by the way sack-man.

Yeah Sack-Man, you find that from a live video? I get your usertitle too.

thanks, i was browsing the maiden bulletin boards and someone linked to it, thats what Bruce wears for the Trooper on this tour :thumb:. i had to resize it using publisher and pasting into paint though, as i don't have a decent image editor.
i'm listening to all the songs they played on the European leg of their tour at the moment, preparing for tomorrow...

\m/ MAIDEN \m/

What's your ideal setlist then?

sack-man: Nice avatar

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]What's your ideal setlist then?[/QUOTE]


I really liked the rock in rio DVD Set list it had a good mix, and bruce worked really well on the bayley songs. I enjoyed every song.

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]What's your ideal setlist then?[/QUOTE]
for the early days:
Prowler
Strange world
Running free
Phantom of the opera
charlotte the harlot
iron maiden
murders in the rue morgue
killers
drifter
children of the dámned
the prisoner
22 accacia avenue
number of the beast
hallowed be thy name
where eagles dare
revelations
flight of icarus
the trooper
still life
to tame a land.

thanks. sorry i stole your user title.

I was hoping it would catch on actually.

Ewww...Running Free...

running free is one of my favourite maiden songs...

I want to see a live video of that one Maiden show where Sharon and her drones ruined. Does anyone have videos? I know about the audio clips, but I want to see this.

I hope there's a video of it somewhere. I was there, it was really great to watch Bruce go crazy on them and the band just outclass them in general.

so effectively this was all started on maiden for no reason, ie before bruce had even mentioned Sharon?

[QUOTE=sack-man]so effectively this was all started on maiden for no reason, ie before bruce had even mentioned Sharon?[/QUOTE]

Basically. The only possible thing that he could have said before it all was the whole "You wont see Iron Maiden on MTV or reality shows!" which he had every right to claim proudly.

Yeah Maiden got inducted in the Kerrang Hall Of Fame!!!!
