Since when do you listen to Maiden?

Hey I was just thinking about how Iron Maiden have two solo's each song because of two lead guitarists, which no ither band Ive heard has done and that each guitarist is so distinctive you can tell who is playing what solo. But then I got to thinking about Janick(I don't actually have any albums with Janick). Do they actually have three solos with him?

dotr is pushed back again ..... i hope maiden don't go all axl on us and never release it

[QUOTE=crag]:eek: where did you hear this?
[/QUOTE]

Amazon

[QUOTE=the_uber_penguin]That sucks.

Anyways...I was watching the NotB video the other day and I thought "Cor...Nicko's got fatter!"

Then I remembered I was watching Clive.

In other news, was Adrian really influenced by Brian May? I've just been listening to some queen ( :D ) and I noticed they can sound really alike in places.[/QUOTE]
Brian May is awesome, and incredibly underrated. He built his own guitar. Eric Clapton once said "Brian May can do things with the guitar that I wouldn't dream of doing." Seriously, he has some of my favourite guitar solos ever. Queen's guitarwork is great.

I have no idea because I don't listen to that much new Maiden. I think they just have two solos from two different guitarists, but they change which two every song. And when playing old songs live, I imagine they just do it differently every time or, in the case of the Trooper, they have two guitarists playing the same solo at the same time \m/

Hmm, I thought they played 2 different harmonized solos?

so I haven't been paying any attention to anything lately, someone wanna tell me about "DOTR"? this is the first i've heard of it. what's it stand for, and when's it coming out? someone said the 21st but uhh what month?

True.

Brave New World (song) has three guitar harmonies during the first verse (Davey playing riff, Jannick playing lead, Adrian playing chords), The Fallen Angel has three guitar solos, as do Paschendale and Dance Of Death and No Moe Lies.

me hopes they make more use of 3 guitars in the next album, i feel that they haven't quite used that to it's full potential yet.

I haven't heard any newer Maiden, would you say it holds up against their older work?

[QUOTE=MidnightRider]I haven't heard any newer Maiden, would you say it holds up against their older work?[/QUOTE]
yes.

[QUOTE=MidnightRider]I haven't heard any newer Maiden, would you say it holds up against their older work?[/QUOTE]

The newer stuff is more progressive in my opinion, it's not as raw and energetic...but it's still good.

[QUOTE=Vince]Since when do you listen to Maiden?[/QUOTE]

since you started playing them in the morning, waking me up during the summer

[QUOTE=ashman]The newer stuff is more progressive in my opinion, it's not as raw and energetic...but it's still good.[/QUOTE]
you could say it's got a lot more technical i suppose.

Cool, I'll probably pick up DOD later on today.

[QUOTE=MidnightRider]Cool, I'll probably pick up DOD later on today.[/QUOTE]
DOD is great, the only song i don't like is Gates of Tomorrow, even though it's good.

[QUOTE=the_uber_penguin]Brave New World (song) has three guitar harmonies during the first verse (Davey playing riff, Jannick playing lead, Adrian playing chords), .[/QUOTE]

That wouldn't be a harmony.

[quote=clairvoyant]That wouldn't be a harmony.[/quote]

It's not linear harmony (which is normally the sort you find in metal music) but it's harmony in the broader, classical sense of the word.

EDIT: Is it just me, or does my bands mascot look like an aquatic Eddie?

Hehe nice plug...

[quote=ashman]Hehe nice plug...[/quote]

But George does look like Eddie, right?

I should say Chris (drummer/drawings) isn't a huge fan of Maiden, so the resemblence is probably coincidental.

He does like them enough to let me cover The Wicker Man, which I'll get online as soon as I can.

I do like the fact that you hold his artistic skill so highly it's "drummer/drawings" :lol:

He's a great drummer. He can play much faster then he claims, and has some excellent rhythm.

He's also darn good with the old pens.
