[QUOTE=GenuineImitation]What songs are on it?[/QUOTE]

Can I play with madness
2 minutes to midnight
Wrath child
hallowed be thy name
Running free
the evil that men do
Phantom of the opera
number of the beast
iron maiden
run to the hills
The trooper

Disc 2:
bring your daughter to the slaughter
Muders in the rue morgue
Aces high
Flight of icarus
wasted years
Remeber tomorrow
the clairvoyant
prisoner
sanctuary
powerslave
killer
fear of the dark

[QUOTE=YDload]You're saying that Travis Barker is the second-best drummer in the world? Are you KIDDING me? Just because he's the most talented member of Blink 182 (of all bands) doesn't mean that he's awesome. I'll agree that Nicko is near the top but there are so many more talented drummers than Travis fu[size=2]cking[/size] Barker.[/QUOTE]

Travis has amazing stick speed and accuracy and a very distictive style, which would make many a drummer very jealous.

I'm told by someone who knows a heck of a lot more about this then me, that Travis' speed and accuracy are more or less unrivalled...I put Nicko ahead of him because he's not far behind on speed or accuracy, but he has a more distintive style, and isn't leant on so much to make the song special.

[QUOTE=crag]Nicko > Neil Peart > all others[/QUOTE]

Dream Theaters drummer? Surely he's second to Nicko? And does anyone know of any bassists who have more 'fun' stuff to play than Steve Harris? I just get idiots asking me for 'fun' bass lines, and Steve is the only person I can say.

Neal Peart of [I]Rush[/I]
Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater-he is incredibly technically skilled.

Well I guess this means, from what you've said here, that Travis Barker is officially overrated!

Seriously, Tim Alexander from Primus kicks Travis' skinny tattooed as[size=2]s[/size], and he's not even the most distinctive member of that band! Danny Carey, Vinnie Paul, Dave Lombardo, Jon Theodore, Nick Menza, Alex Van Halen... they're all far above Travis Barker's abilities. And I didn't even mention any death metal drummers!

...and Mike Portnoy...

[QUOTE=Me, before]Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater-he is incredibly technically skilled.[/QUOTE]
see!

Let's not fight...we can all at least agree Nicko is the best. Also Travis Barker is really good, I'm not sure if you could compare him to some of the people mentioned here, as they play different styles, but surely if Travis played in a metal band he could easily be up in the top with guys like Nicko.

I actually find Portnoy incredibly overrated. I'm a big fan of DT as well.

Martin Lopez of Opeth is high on that list for me.

No, he wouldn't. I'm not sure this is getting through to anyone: Travis Barker is not that great! If he wants to start a band, it should be with Cliff Burton and Kurt Cobain and they could call themselves The Overrated.

And Maynard James Keenan can sing!

/hopes no Tool fanboys read this.

best songs ever from maiden = weekend warrior, bring your daughter...to the slaughter, holy smoke, thin line between love and hate and the unbeliever, that girl

Wow, that's a really weird list. What albums have you heard?

Clive Burr > Nicko McBrain

...Just my opinion. Maiden's early drumming stuff ("Phantom of the Opera," "Killers," "The Prisoner" etc.) just seems more complex.

I take it you're not a drummer? :D

"The Wicker Man" is one of the greatest metal drum tracks of all time. McBrain plays with so much groove and feeling...he's a huge inspiration to me. Some of the single bass stuff he does is just incredible (everything up until Dance of Death was single bass).

Anyways, someone sent me guitarpro. Although I'm not a guitarist, I am a keyboard player, and it's been fun going through some ole Maiden tracks and trying to learn the guitar parts on piano. The intro to Hallowed Be Thy Name is a BITCH. :lol:

That would be fun. Great idea lol.

[QUOTE=no more tearss]best songs ever from maiden = weekend warrior, bring your daughter...to the slaughter, holy smoke, thin line between love and hate and the unbeliever, that girl[/QUOTE]
That [I]is[/I] an odd list...good to see X-factor prescence though

Is "that girl" a B side?

NP- total eclipse.

Every time I hear There's A Thin Line Between Love And Hate, the chorus (I will hope my soul will fly, and I can live forEVER!) always reminds me of the Titanic theme song.

I have no idea why, apart from the melody is slightly similar and (scarily) about the same pitch.

Ugh, I don't think Weekend Warrior is all that great. :-/

Your Penguins a wussy.

Weekend Warrior is only good because of the Guitar solos and the little interlude thing \m/

Judas be my Guide > Weekend Warrior. i like both, but JBMG is one of my favourite songs on that album.

[QUOTE=Slapping Penguin]Your Penguin[size=5]'[/size]s a-mazing.[/QUOTE]

Fixed.

And where is "That girl" from?

[QUOTE=the_uber_penguin]Fixed.

And where is "That girl" from?[/QUOTE]

I think it was one of the B-sides for one of the songs released on Somehwere in Time...


On a more brighter and way cooler note; I was out last night and they played Fear of the Dark (RiR version) at this nightclub, it was a beautiful site, me and two other guys headbanging... \m/

Erm, "reach out was the B/w to wasted years I think, Stranger in a strange land, I believe was the other single.

when did Bruce say that?

[QUOTE=crag]when did Bruce say that?[/QUOTE]

Cant remember, but he did say that. Maybe when he left, because he thought he wouldnt get any stick from Nicko as he wasnt in the band at that time?
And Weekend Warrior is overrated. I still think Childhoods End is a great song from that album, but no one seems to like it much. Its got a great intro to it.

[QUOTE=crag]when did Bruce say that?[/QUOTE]
Says it on the Early Days DVD if I remember correctly.

yes, it was the early days that he said it on, on the interveiw

[QUOTE=rik]Says it on the Early Days DVD if I remember correctly.[/QUOTE]
are you sure, i thought i would remember something like that

well it was

Says it in Run To The Hills too.

The Wicker Man is easy despite the insane bass drum work. I play along with it all the time and the only thing I Don't do the same is the bass drum, just because it's to hard for me to do.

I love The Wicker Man, period...I'm not a drummer. :p

Come to think of it, I should learn that on guitar...tis a bit easier than other Maiden songs.
