YOu honestly love every maiden song and album, don't you Frail?

ok.... album help here. i have nearly all the maiden studio albums, but none of the blaze era albums (best of the beast doesn't count). which should i get: x factor or virtual xi? on one hand, virtual xi is the worst maiden album ever. on the other, the clansman. help?

Virtual XI dont suck, but i advice you to buy The X factor....

I'd go with the X Factor, but I really don't like Virtual XI

X factor is a great album, id rate it above dianno material by far. If it werent for the bad production i think it would be in my top 3.

VXI on the other hand is pretty weak, but still worth it for the educated fool, clansman, and futureal

QUESTION !
-------------

OK. what's your most favourite SLOW maiden song?
mine is: children of the ****ed

Maiden slow song.....hard to say, maybe "wasting love" because i just learned the whole thing, great solo by Janick!

got to give it to "revelations", its slow in major parts of the song...

^^^

very true, Marvelous bass playing by Steve and one of the best examples of Bruce's song writing by himself. id put that above Wasting Love, just im on a huge kick for that song due to learning it hehe.

Hey guys guess what today is.

It's NICKO McBRAINS BIRTHDAY!!!!

Happy Birthday to the bloody bloke!!!! i think ill bake him a cake......brb!

you mostly hear steves bassline in that songs, so i think he would have the right to put his own name on it to :p i dont think steve lets anyone write his basslines..

HAPPY B-DAY FLATNOOSE!

oh i know that, the song is laid out by bruce and left for the members to fill in where necessary...just on the pre-chorus i enjoy his harmony alot. one of my favourite Harris bass lines t oplay. Just like in a lot of songs Adrian has written, it leaves Steve room to write in his part on bass.

hey Frail, I learned Wasting Love a week before :) probably easiest maiden solo :)

why no one likes Children of the Dam*ed :(

i love children of the ****ed.
kthanks.

i learned the intro to the trooper properly today.

i love chilren of the ****ed!!!

I dunno about the easiest, belive it or not BOTH solos on Aces High are simple as pie, impressive sounding but not hard at all to grasp. Also, Adrian's lead on "Die with your boots on" dosent take much time to learn, but Adrian's lead on "the fallen angel" i cant pull off lol. im mainly a bassiest who just learns songs for fun on guitar.

I like "Revelations" and "Children of the Da[color=white]mned[/color]" not because they're slow songs, but because they start out slow and then kick it up a few notches. My favorite part of "Revelations" is the sudden "Dah duh dant!.....Dah duh dant!.......Dunnn Daaannn Doon Dun!" and then it goes off into dual leads. Awesome stuff.

why was this on page 5?

The best maiden slow song is strange world of the s/t. no competition. NO COMPETITION. except maybe journeyman (electric version) or prodigal sun (nice 12 string use)

Slow songs...hmm..., I got three...Powerslave. What? it's slower than most of their stuff. Blood Brothers and Paschendale. Just for kicks I'll throw in Infinite Dreams.

DOD soloists
-------------

well, I didn't know where to find the official info about DOD soloists, so I kind of tried to find out myself. I'm famiiar a little with the style of all 3 guitarists. Well, not much but anyway..... :)

So, here's what I think:

1. wildest dreams - Adrian
2. rainmaker - Davey
3. no more lies- Davey, Adrain, Janick (watched the video :) )
4. montsequr - Janick
5. DOD - Janick, Dave
6. gates of tomorrow - Adrian
7. New frontier - Adrian
8. Paschendale - Davey, Adrian, Janick
9. face in the sand - Adrian
10. age of innocence - Dave

12. pass the jam - what the hell? :)

I think Montsegur has more than one soloist in it.

montsegur = janick and Dave

^ Ummmm I don't really think it's Dave there too

I just got Powerslave today, and it's awesome. Now I'm afraid I'll have to browse this whole thread again just to see what people said about it, and its individual songs.

[QUOTE=btoto]^ Ummmm I don't really think it's Dave there too[/QUOTE]

its dave :thumb:

up the f**kin irons!
 

maiden are my all time favourite band and along with metallica they got me into the guitar. i havnt been a fan for that long, i first discovered them after hearing 2 minutes to midnihgt on GTA Vice City about a year ago. since then ive got 6 of their albums. Heres my list of the ones i have ordered from best to worse (although they're all amazing).

1.Powerslave
2.Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
3.Number of the Beast
4.Somewhere in Time
5.Brave New World
6.Dance of Death

i also have the Visions of the Beast DVD.
Peice of Mind is next on my list, ive already downloaded the Trooper and the flight of the icarus.

and don't think that just because dance of death is on the bottom that it isnt a good album, because it definately is, it has my favourite maiden song on it (which i find id hugely underrated), Paschendale.
When are people gonna wake up and see what an amazing song it is?

Man i've got so much to say abou8t iron maiden they are such a great band and unlike metallica (another awesome band, prob my 2nd fav) they havnt gone downhill as they got older, but they are now all over 40 and still making great music and havnt sold out or anything, u gotta admire that.

while we're at it, you could say rainmaker has two soloists (jannick joins davey for the twin-soloey bit).

Also, would do ya'll prefer: The acoustic version of Journeyman (on DOD) or the electric version (on the No More Lies ep)

Electric version definitely!

HIDDEN NICKO TRACK > ALL!!!

agreed. i fell about on the floor laughing after the first time i heard that, but people unfamiliar with the original don't find it that funny.

I love the way he f\/cks up the chorus TWICE BWAHAHAHAHAHA
