[QUOTE=Damage_Inc.]so iam guess that virtual XI and X Factorm are as bad as Load, Reload and St.Anger from Metallica?[/QUOTE]

i would say they are a bit like load and reload yes... not what you expected, but awsome albums when you get over it... :thumb: i love them

[QUOTE=scream_for_me_brazil]I'm a mad Iron Maiden fan, but I need to know something.
Before Bruce Dickinson, how many other singers were in the band? and what were they called?

Thanking you.

:)[/QUOTE]

Paul day, Dennis Wilcock and Paul Di'annio, then bruce came, then bruce left, Blaze Baley, and then bruce came back...

I thought at point Adrian smith was the lead singer........'cos that was the only reason steve would let him in.......or that could have been daves old band before maiden

[QUOTE=ashman]I thought at point Adrian smith was the lead singer........'cos that was the only reason steve would let him in.......or that could have been daves old band before maiden[/QUOTE]

he did sing too.. reach out...

I know great song. I was talking about before Bruce came along....

in urchin, dave's band before maiden, adrian only got in because he said he was a singer (as they did not need more guitarists). then dave left for maiden, adrian took up guitar, adrian joined maiden, adrian left maiden (just before the sound house tapes, hence only1 guitarist). tony parsons joined, tony parsons left, dennis straton joined, recorded s/t album, straton joined praying mantis, adrian re-joined maiden in time to record "killers"

i found an iron maiden family tree type thing ages ago, that had all the guys previous bands and things like that, where those bands went, how/where they linked up with maiden, i was really good.......but i cant find it!

Does anyone have the Rock in Rio DVD?
Please tell me if it`s good!

its ****ing amazing! buy buy buy!!!! its worth every penny and more!!!

the live 'sign of the cross' and 'the clansman' are superb!!

agreed

also, the crowd's reaction to the opening strains of "2 minutes to midnight"

i av the DVD n it iz the best live show i have ever seen!!
the clansman is the best track on it
but wen they play out wiv Run to the hills evry1 goes crazy they are the best metal band ever n they cant half play live!

Rock in Rio is a great live DVD, the crowd react to all the hits which is most of the set list really.

there's an mx peter kay fan club? 0_o

no prayer for the dying
prowler

ahhh i just replied to someone from the first page. i completely failed to realize this thread was 73 pages. o well

:lol:

Not to worry, welcome to the Maiden thread!

Probably this is a stupid question.....but can somebody tell me with which guitars they play

thx

Well Dave Murray often plays a fender strat, sometimes a jackson (don't know the model or anything)

Adrian plays a strat, used to use an Ibanez destroyer, and a gibson goldtop, I think they are hes favourite guitars

Janick uses some poor training guitar with no frets (well there has to be some reason for his sloppy playing)

Steve uses fender Precision 1 bass.

Thats just a quick list, I'm sure GurS will tell you every instrument ever played by Iron Maiden, that guy always surprises me with how quick he learned everything about maiden....

im good at reading........ :upset:

hmmm... steve use mainly one Fender Precision bass(the white one with red and blue binding..), but he has like 7 of them, you can se him use them in different cocerts..(like a real live dead one he uses an red...) But his main bass is the, and always have been the white (1971 i belive) P Bass(it was the blue sparkle before, and before that the black one used at Live at rainbow...) when it got repaintet the first time he changed the bridge and Pickups, and now all of his Basses are equiped with Badass II Bridge and Seymour Duncan Pickups ... :p He also have been seen with Lado Unicorn(Aces High Video) and an Ibanez Roadster II(Run to the hills video..) he is also supposed to own an Gibson Thunderbird... hell, the guy probaly owns 'kin lots of basses...

by the way, anyonknows about an place wich sells the colour blue sparkle? :p

I've always wanted to get my bass painted like his black and white chequred one.

[QUOTE=rik]I've always wanted to get my bass painted like his black and white chequred one.[/QUOTE]

i think he have two painted like that... or he have changed the the neck on it... becouse thoose pics i see of a black/White checkered one is from 1990 - 92.. and then it had an Rosewood Fretboard... on later pics it have an Maple Fretboard... i think its an bass from 59... atleast it says so in Live After death... but realy when i see the headstock(due the shape of fenders logo on later than 70's basses..) itr seems like its from the 80's until now...

I got into Iron Maiden 5 months ago and since then I have used practically all my money on buying there cds and I would like to say every Iron Maiden fan should own the Rock in Rio dvd.

This man speketh the truth.

I was wondering how does Blaze compare to there other singers being I have never heard him.

I like Iron Maiden and my friend gave me his tour '03 shirt for free because it didnt fit him :chug:

[QUOTE=PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]I was wondering how does Blaze compare to there other singers being I have never heard him.[/QUOTE]

The two albums (The X Factor, Virtual XI) with him singing on got, and still get a cold reception from most fans. They arent bad albums, as you can tell from the live 'sign of the cross' and 'the clasnsman' from the rock in rio DVD, but after 7 studio albums with Bruce, the change wasnt hailed as good as Bruce had kind of made the maiden voice his own.

Di'annio from the fisrt two albums was an excellent singer. But Bruce is, and i dont doubt, will always be the voice of maiden

Well thats good because I liked those two songs so perhaps I will get around to buying them eventually. Thanks.

im so sick of my never ending computer problems!!!

anyways, i was gonna play with some friends at a show soon and i brought up the idea of doing "Journeymen" for the gig, ill see what comes of that :thumb:

i know a guy who i was in a band with who said he could sing like blaze bailey so we thought we would give him a try so we played prowler, running free and man on the edge and he was so **** he put me off maiden for months and as a result i now cannot listen to them three songs anymore!

sorry just thought i would share that with you all

have any of you people ever seen the iron maiden video game? its based on like 8 of their songs...lol its from 99 for the pc...im too frightened to check it out for fear that it will disgrace iron maiden

Ed Hunter.....I'ves seen in the shops, but I haven't bought it 'cos its bloody expensive....

hey frail which journeyman, electric or acoustic? My band toyed with the idea......but none of them knew how to keep in time with each other....

Ash

whats a good iron maiden starter album? don't get angry if someone already asked this

^^ I would say "Brave New World"...it has a more "modern" sound and some great tunes.
