ooo, i have a gig with my band on 12th March, the other bands are all Emo and the majority of the crowd will be Emo's. Naturally i'll be buying a Maiden shirt to wear at the gig:cool:

/wearing Maiden shirt right now.

It's good to know the Legions of Maiden wear the right uniform...

Shame I'm wearing a Soulfracture T-Shirt though :upset:

[quote]I don't really see the difference (note the fact I haven't played those many guitars either) of using "more metal" guitars over Fenders, which are usually thought for Rock.

I mean... Maiden uses them. amirite

that's gotta account for sumfin[/quote]
Cryptopsy use them too :D


DOTR wins. I've took my Dunlop strap and Harris-ized it by adding foam and putting a sock around it. It wins.

/Wears Live after death shirt

I don't get band t-shirts (unless it's the one for the tour I saw them on).

I remember I used to love Blink 182, and then I bought the T-shirt, then I stopped liking so much.

I don't want that to happen to Maiden. Therefore, the only Iron Maiden T-shirt I own is the the Reading Festival 2005 T-shirt with their name on it, because I saw them there :D

I've got a sweet Iron Maiden 'Killer's' tee and an Iron Maiden wristband.

Like The_uber_penguin i usually only buy band t-shirts at gigs that i have been to. But iron maiden is an excpetion, i have this cool piece of mind t-shirt in black in white. :thumb:

I have a Killers back patch sewn onto my jumper. I wear it all the time and never really feel out of place.

I've got a Trooper t-shirt, Can I play with Madness, Number of the Beast, Maiden Japan, Best of the B-sides t-shirt and I think I've got another one somewhere :p

I used to have a Number of the Beast t-shirt when I was like 7

/youthful metalhead :p

I got a "brave new world" T-Shirt somewhere.

Those are cool, I wanted one of thems, but I could never find one.

I'm just learning Infinite Dreams on Bass and it is by far the hardest Maiden song I know, but it's bloody ace to play, everyone here who plays bass should learn it...NAU!

by hardest song do you mean, hardest song on bass or hardest song period?

It's far from being the hardest Maiden song on bass though...

Some of the bass fills in Sanctuary scare me.

I came really close to getting a Killers shirt, but I opted for and AC/DC one instead.

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=Crag]by hardest song do you mean, hardest song on bass or hardest song period?[/quote]

The guitars are quite easy-ish, but I'd put it in the middle in terms of difficulty for guitar, but the Bass is tricky.

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:

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:)

Stuff like that really gives me the sh[I]i[/I]ts.

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.

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