[QUOTE=crag]i've always found Transylvania hard on bass.


EDIT: i was just viewing my last.fm account. Look how many times i've listened to [URL="http://i1.tinypic.com/nzoacz.jpg"]Maiden[/URL]:eek:[/QUOTE]

Genghis Khan is definitely the hardest instrumental though. No fills, but it's just really really fast.

:eek:i just had a look at a Guitar Pro file of that song, the bass looks insanely hard. Just shows how good Steve really is:)

[QUOTE=ashman]They just look scary, well the ones in my tab do. There's only a few quick position changes and it tends to keep around the same 'fingering positions'.

What songs are harder then Infinite Dreams?
[/QUOTE]

Meh to me it would be either ghengis kahn or sanctuary

Jenkins barn is quite simple*

*When you don't include the really fast middle bit :p

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]I came really close to getting a Killers shirt, but I opted for and AC/DC one instead.[/QUOTE]Why would you do that? Maiden > AC/DC. But some people think that I like The Killers(band) when I wear my Killers shirt.

As a rule, I dislike instrumentals, but I do like Losfer words more than the killers ones, but Transylvania the best.

1. Transylvania
2. Losfer Words
3. Genghis Kahn
4. Ides Of March

its extremely close though.

1. Genghis Kahn
2. Losfer Words

Infinite Dreams isn't too difficult on bass either. You just must suck :p.

Hey! I'm mainly a guitarist, our li'l fingers aren't meant to stretch that far.

Most maiden songs, I just play the GP tab and play along without learning any of it :p

IMO Bruce sounds awesome on Judas Be My Guide, he's got quite a big range of vocals in that song.

Drums:where eagles dare ( no argument on that one)
Bass: POTO ( the bass just stand out on this track )
Guitar:Killers
Vocals: Flight of icarus


im tired :(

My top 5:

Drums: Hallowed Be Thy Name
Bass: Infinite Dreams
Guitar: Paschendale
Vocals: Seventh Son (album)
Other (i.e. synths): Face In The Sand.

EDIT: And a hug for -The_Frank.

Drums: Where eagles dare
Bass: infinite dreams/running free
Guitar: Hallowed be thy name
Vocals: Blood Brothers/aces high/I can't choose :(

Drums: Where Eagles Dare
Bass: hmm, Running Free, Infinite Dreams or Only the Good Die Young (i love the bass "solo" after the first guitar solo)
Guitar: HBTN or possibly Blood Brothers, because of Janick's solo.
Vocals: Paschendale or Judas Be My Guide.

Drums: Where Eagles Dare
Bass: Transylvania
Guitar: Paschendale or Dance of Death
Vocals: The Thin Line Between Love and Hate

Drums: Face In The Sand
Bass: Infinite Dreams
Guitar: Infinite Dreams
Vocals: Face In The Sand

Those are my two favourite Maiden songs.

Drums: Out Of The Silent Planet
Bass: Phantom or Infinite Dreams
Guitar: Sign Of The Cross, Blood Brothers, Paschendale
Vocals: The Evil That Men Do, Hallowed

Running Free? That's an easy Maiden song on any instrument. Hell, there isn't even a true guitar solo!

Anyway, I will break with the consensus and say that Genghis Khan has the most impressive drums. I'm more of a Clive Burr person anyway, although there's no doubt that Nicko is a big asset to the band today.

I like the bass on running free, it's not the "most difficult" just the best sounding.
Wrathchild is saved from being a mediocre song by the bassline alone.

Wrathchild is an awesome song because of the riff shared by the bass and guitar (you know which one I mean ;)). I like to play Running Free, but other than that really quick blur of notes, it's a very easy song.

Drums: Where Eagles Dare
Guitar: Phantom of the Opera
Bass: Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Vocals: Dance of Death
Synth: Fear of the Dark

A lot of where eagles dare popping up.

Oh btw, who in Maiden still lives in London? I'm going down sauth on friday and I want to....stalk....Maiden... :cool:

Cool, I might send some naked pics of myself to his daughter :p

I'll hunt for Bruce by the local aviation centres of London/

Have any of you kiddies seen/played the game on the Maiden site, it's bloody hard.

Yeah...that game is ridiculous. I mean, you jump and you're in BOTH lanes for about a second, which is plenty of time to get hit by a car not even on the screen yet.

Also, is it just me, or does Neil Buchanon from Art Attack look a lot like Adrian Smith from the 80's?

From the sounds of it, Neil's not to bad at guitar either: [url]http://www.musicoutfitter.com/store/item/823107214725/rockyoutonight.html[/url]

:lol: their hair style is scarily similar.

[quote=crag]:lol: their hair style is scarily similar.[/quote]

It's not just that. It's the shape of their face!

And also, Neil played guitar in a "NWOBHM" band too. They released an album in 2003. In the 2001 Art Attack annual, he said he was "probably a better guitarist then artist".

I'd like to find some of those albums, just to impress at university next year...

OMG!!! It's uncanny!!!

Ash, you're nearly at an awesome postcount, and also, sending naked pictures of yourself to Steve's daughter could backfire, especially if he beat you in with his bass.

Ahh touche...

I thought I already hit 6,666...weird.

Neil Buchanan is like a childhood hero of everyone in the UK, if I had to choose between him and H, I'd probably cry... :p
