Wow, don't burn yourself out there. I've been a fan for only a year too, but I've just got three albums and learned a lot of basslines. I hope you're not going through some sort of Maiden "phase" where you get tired of them too quickly. Pace yourself!

[QUOTE=Eddie-the-Trooper]ok, Frail, i definitive gonna become an Rush Fan :p i was like :( and put on Dreamline live and once the Geddy Kicked in i was like :D Man, Megadeth have just pushed back, and rush is closing in on Maiden :p[/QUOTE]

haha, Yes...Rush are tied with my other two favourites....Iron Maiden and SP, and Megadeth is tied after that with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath haha. its like groupings!! if you ever have any Rush questions just ask me in here or e-mail me at * [email]geezerbutler@hotmail.com[/email] * and ill be glad to help! ive liked Rush for almost a decade now, i used to hate them when i was little, but when i got my bass at age 13 i instantly fell in love with Geddy and when you have musicians like Alex and Neil along side him its really a one of a kind group. No other 3-peiece band can match their live sound nor their songwriting talents, even Neil's lyrics are phenominal in theirself!!! When im at a rock show i tell people my favouite band is Rush, and at a metal show i tell them Iron Maiden haha.

[QUOTE=Ed_the_great]I have been in to Maiden for only year... but I just love it! :chug: I have 8 of their original studio-albums... And Eddie's archive box and two dvds, Rock in Riuo anf Visions of the beast :thumb: And my rooms walls are full of them! :thumb: :thumb:[/QUOTE]

im glad we have another fan :) we are Maiden experts here and all listen to them obsesivly haha. I just downloaded a guitar warm up lesson with Adrian and its really alot of run, i actually adjusted the way ive been playing the Wickerman solo when i saw him do it, makes the fingering alot easier!!

hehe, i have seen it to, have it at an cd "somewhere in shelf"...(deamn im funny.. :p) didnt do much for me though, as im an bass player exclusive...

hehe, yeah i used to just focus on bass 100% but i got really into guitar and its really 50% 50% now with them as i can actually solo very well on guitar and still gallop and tap on bass like a not-as-good-Billy-Sheehan lol. Adrian's warmups are great because hes telling you what you do need to know, not work on speed...but on finger strentgh and the exercises he does are really sweet...i liked the Wickerman solo the most because i LOVE to play that lead! lol :thumb:

PS: what time is it in Norway? its like 4 in the afternoon here, i gotta work at 5 :(

I've lived in england all my life, and I have tried and failed to meet any of 'em :(. Where abouts in england you going? when you get here you will notice only a few people wearing Maiden t-shirts (even though Maiden are Britains best export EVER)

[B]Edit[/B] I have just been looking at the last page, and the longest anybody here has been listening to maiden is 5 years.........I'm shocked, I have been listening to Maiden since I was in the womb (my mother used to listen to powerslave and somewhere in time when she was pregnant with me) and I have been listening to them non-stop since then (except on two occasions, the first being when we lost all the LPs for 1 whole year, and the second when Bruce left, but I did listen to the olders albums I had, I just didn't follow the band as much. oh and by the way I'm 18 in 3 weeks and I get my A-level Results on the same day </spam>

hmmm saw an map,romford is basically in london... :p

****, im bored... :upset:

Here's a question I think you could help me with:

Whenever a band member's name is credited to a song (i.e. "Harris" or "Smith/Dickinson"), does that mean they wrote both the words and music, just the music (with Steve Harris writing all the lyrics), or just the lyrics (with each band member writing their part)?

hmmm it depends on which member your talking about. I havent known anyone to write lyrics except Steve, Bruce, and Adrian really. Someone may come up with a guitar line, another with a vocal melody, and a third might do the chorus or an interlude...basically they all throw in bits and pieces to make it fit, depends on the members really.

PS: ill be in london for a week, so if i see Romford on a map ill be like "hey mom, lets go here!"...she knows what im up to though lol.

hey, if you get to romford you can run around in the streets screaming for harris!

and go up to random people and ask if they know where he lives.

As for the writing of songs, the whole band kinda sits in a little circle (kinda like a campfire) and wirtes songs..........I know this, 'cos on the wildest dreams DVD single, there was a "making of Dance of Death" and there was a bit where they were practising montsegur, it sounds weird without distortion

wow amazing

Ive already told her im buying something Iron Maiden while im there, and ill try my best to post pictures also of anything Maiden that i find......band member or not! lol

Ai-eeee! Bump!

What's everyone's opinion on the song "Flight of Icarus?" It's absolutely spine-tingling to listen to when you're in an airplane, and it's good no matter where you are.

One of the best songs from the early part of their Career, shows off the wonderful chemistry of Bruce and Adrian.

[QUOTE=AntiPop356]Man, everyone ripping off the Death Heads fourm and making these "official" threads...:rolleyes: :lol: anyways, what can I say? Iron Maiden is, IMO, the DEFINITIVE metal band. Really. I still have yet to see any band do the guitar harmonizing thing better and you just can't step to Harris's basslines. Maiden rules, period.

And I REALLY need to see one of their shows before I die...[/QUOTE]

Or they Die

[QUOTE=Spirit_In_Black]what is it that you like so muych about somewhere in time?

here are the maiden albums i own
in order of my preference

1.powerdslave
2.the number of the beast
3.seventh son of a seventh son
4.brave new world
5.dance of death
6.somewhere in time

who agrees?[/QUOTE]
You should get Fear of the Dark, it is thier best album

[QUOTE=Grinder]You should get Fear of the Dark, it is thier best album[/QUOTE]
Fear of the Dark is one of Maiden's greatest songs, but it's far from being Maiden's best album.

To each his own, I guess.

^^^

Its easily my least favourite of the Dickenson years. Not only is his voice weaker but it's the only album with filler tracks IMO. The songs on there that i like are some of my faovuites (wasting love, here to eternity, etc...) but some of the music on there you can see why the majority of it has never been played live. A bad choice for a first Maiden album to get into the band.

yeh I agree, fear of the dark is one of the poorer albums, now somewhere in time, thats a great album, or SSOASS is great, or any of the big 5 is good to start on

Totally agree, Fear of the Dark has so much meaning and it is their best live song. My favourite albums are Piece of Mind and Seventh Son, but to be honest you would struggle to find a bad Maiden album.

Personally my favourite Maiden song. Absolutely superb, great guitar, great lyrics and meaning and it is just a sensational song to listen to.

anyone remember me?

well, i'm back.

anyhoo, i just bought (on holiday) piece of mind - meaning i only have 3 studio albums left to get. yeah.

also, has steve ever used his signature bass since Powerslave? I mean, seriously. It's bit of a waste to have a custom bass made and then never use it.
