Good set-list. I've never heard Invasion.

invasio is a pretty good song. i think it was originally put as a B-side to women in uniform

My ticket for the Hammersmith Apollo gig came through today, can't wait. I also went into HMV the other day Maiden were "artist of the month" all of their albums going really cheap.

^ i wish i lived in the UK :upset: :angry:

did invasion not evolve into invaders?

I WILL GET DEATH ON THE ROAD SOON...

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]so...you're worried about the wanting to shag guys thing...but not the penguin obsession? :p[/QUOTE]

Bestiality is good...

:s

Scratch that, I never said it!!! I don't want to be banned nooooo!!!!!!


Nah. Real reason is the Penguins will take over the world someday, us men won't. :D. I may as well be on the winning side.

I also found out that when I was really small I used to go to Beavers (like Scouts, but for really mini people - I was too small to remember it) and my patrol there was called "Penguins". That's purely coincidence.

As for the Blood Brothers thing, I didn't realise we were talking about bass. What I wrote was for the guitar. My powertab file doesn't have the bass on it, but on RiR it does sound like someone's strumming, so if it was bass it wouldn't suprise me too much.

I reserved my copy of DotR at HMV today...I'm going to wait for the DVD to come out.

Anyway, see you guys, I'm off to play The Pit at chess.

[QUOTE=GurS]I too, was at Reading - best night of my fuggin'life. I'm in the middle of an in-depth review of Maiden's performance in the MXUK thread, I'll post links here once it's finished :)[/QUOTE]
I saw the show too, it was quite amazing. The only thing I have seen live that was close to the performance was The Pixies at the same festival.

woah, the maiden website has changed

:angry: the dotr dvd doesn't come out for another month

give us a review please, especially if setlist is different from Leeds / Reading!
man, that's gonna be one hell of a show, probably better than the Leeds one.

ITP: I am a Maiden No0b....


can sameone tell me a good album to good.



(I bet that that this question is posted about 100 times, but it a big thread and im to lazy to look, and plus it could start a(nother) favorite album discussion)

Thanks

or buy Rock in Rio, it's got live versions of songs from a lot of the albums on it, and it's just awesome.

you don't fancy uploading it, do you....?

He would get instant E-respect...

He would become KING!

EDIT: Nevermind.

Anyway, when is Death on The Road going to be released in the US?

I'm interested in getting into Iron Maiden and I want to buy some albums. What do you guys reccomend as my first Iron Maiden album?

The Number of the Beast is the best first Maiden album to get. That's how I got started, and I'm a big fan to this day.

[I]Number of the Beast[/I], [I]Piece of Mind[/I] (my first), [I]Powerslave[/I], and [I]Seventh Son of a Seventh Son[/I] are all goodies.

Thanks, I've heard Hallowed Be Thy Name, Children of the Da[SIZE=2]m[/SIZE]ned, Number of the Beast, and Run to the Hills and I've liked them all so that album seems like a good choice. I've heard some other people suggest [I]Killers[/I] as a first album, how does that compare?

You know, I haven't actually heard Maiden's first two...but Killers doesn't have the Air Raid Siren. Get NotB.
