It's probably the album I listen to the least. It's good, but it's lacking IMO.

So...here's my current rough copy of the story, I've yet to really fix anything up so if it sucks really bad just tell me...I also just used Bruce as the main character, rather than make up a new character. I always picture Bruce being the main character when I listened to the song anyways.

_________________________________________________________________________


On a summer night the life of one man would be changed forever. Bruce Dickinson walked out of a bar as the moon shone upon his dark world. After talking to a friend about the day’s events and having only one drink, he decided it was time to set out for home. With the fresh air of the everglades all around him, he walked down the road from the bar, in the direction of his home.

As he walked he didn’t notice an ever following shadow, an ever following presence, from the tree’s beside him. They watched him as he walked, gazing at the stars, laughing out loud to himself about the conversation he previously had with his friend. The wind blew and rustled the tree’s and leaves around him, and then that’s when it happened.

A stick in the tree’s beside Bruce snapped, causing him to turn and look right at a hooded figure. He dropped to his knee’s in fear, hoping that what he saw was a dream. The figure rushed towards him and pulled him back into the tree’s.

When Bruce opened his eyes he saw the unbelievable. A ring of fire in the middle of a forest clearing. Within the circle stood twelve hooded figures, beckoning towards Bruce. He could hear their rasp, thin voices calling his name, telling him to enter the circle of flame. The thirteenth figure, the one who had grabbed Bruce, pulled him back to his feet and walked into the flame, where he met the others.

Feeling drawn towards the thirteen inside the circle of fire, Bruce found himself being pulled, as if by an invisible force towards the flame. He stepped into the fire, and was amazed to find that there was no pain at all. Now inside the circle, Bruce once again heard the rasp, thin voice of these undead. They told him to dance, to dance along with them, to dance the circle of death.

He danced along and sang along with them. While part of him tried to leave, but his body was like a puppet, being controlled by a greater being, by a puppeteer. As he danced a few of the undead began to argue and out broke a fight amongst them. At this point the trance which had seemed to be upon Bruce was broken, and he ran, he ran knowing now was his only chance.

Running as fast as he could, like the wind, and he did not dare look back . Home was where he was headed and he knew he must get there fast. Behind him the fight stopped as they noticed he had left them. Now with the sound of the voices again calling his name from behind, Bruce looked straight ahead and ran.



To this day, one thing he will always remember is the night he danced with the dead. The circle of fire will always burn brightly in his memories and the undead, their ever lasting voices stuck in his head, calling out his name again and again. Calling out his name, beckoning him to dance with them again. To join into the dance of death.

That sucks.

I'm thinking: should we use the drum track of HBTN that Nick recorded for MXaiden, instead of doing the Trooper, then we can find someone (or persuade Nick) to do more drums for us later?

I would get Iron Maiden or Killers. Piece of Mind isn't very good. Powerslave is another option.

I'd be happy to. Just let me know.

Hey guys I noticed that alot of songs were written by only one band member. Does this mean they do absolutely everything? Including solos? Like for instance how could Bruce write a solo thats as good as Dave or Adrian(maybe Janick but ive never heard him play), I mean hes not even a guitarist.

One more question. What guitar does Adrian play on the Number Of The Beast video clip?

Bruce does play guitar. I've read interviews where he said when things where getting bumpy with Maiden he started presenting ideas which where mainly acoustic. Also on one of the concerts on the Early Days DVD during Revelations you see him play a guitar to help out for abit.

Harris wrote everything on most of their older songs apart from the guitar solo's which where wrote by the guitarest, The same happened with other members who wrote the song with only their name at the credits I believe though I'm not as certain.

EDIT: Expanded up.

Yeah we could do, but we'd need the [i]full[/i] drum track done, since the drumtrack doesn't include the intro...

Hey thanks. But if a song is shown as written by one person, does that mean the riffs too? Cos every Iron Maiden song's riff has that "Maiden" feel to it yet its always a different writer.

The melody, song structure and rhythm are written by one person, so it's basically the whole song. Sometimes someone else does the lyrics, and the guitarists do their solos, but if Harris wrote a song on his own, he basically did it all.

All you'd need to do for that is play along with the original song, and match a bell up to that also. Then you got your intro.

so we're doing HBTN now?

Do know how hard that is? :p

Crag; I don't know to be honest, I think we should stick to the trooper and MIDI the drums...

In that case:

Any chance you could add an intro to HBTN? :D

Meanwhile, if anyone wants to send me their guitar/bass part over MIDI drums for a track, I'm happy to record the vocals. Even better would be if all the instruments (give or take a solo) are on there.

Wow, I can be such a Monika sometimes

[QUOTE=the_uber_penguin]In that case:

i've got a Guitar Pro file with all the instruments if you want that

Does that defeat the point?

[QUOTE=the_uber_penguin]Does that defeat the point?[/QUOTE]
i would assume so

Hmm...so what do you want us to do? I'd suggest we all use the same MIDI, since a lot of GP4 tabs are different and we don't want to be out of time or anything now, would we? :rolleyes:

When it says the song was written by steve alone, it means he did everything, guitar, bass, drums, lyrics, everything.

Yeah...he's a bona fide one man band..;.

I thought the name only meant the lyrics? And Death on the road doesen't come out here till Janurary

Ok guys I fixed up the intro for you. Ill send it to the three guys I have the email addresses of, but I'm not sure who's actually in the band or not.

I haven't got it, I'm the 'Dave' in this band. I know I'm pissing you off, but did you do a count in...sorry.

[QUOTE=thelittledrummerboy]I thought the name only meant the lyrics?[/QUOTE]

No.

Lots of the Smith/Dickinson/Harris stuff is music by Adrian, words by Bruce and melody by Harris.

Ok guys I completely finished the track, should be in your emails.

Ash I don't know why but I sent you both the intro and the full track a couple times, I guess you didn't get it?

Edit: File had a problem, I'll send it tonight.
