[QUOTE=FrailandBedazzled1979]i own both a P and a Jazz bass (both fender) and i will stand by this...Jazz basses have a more rich tone and sound overall stronger, but P-basses play twice as easy and you can gain more speed on them.[/QUOTE]

how? that got to be straight forward playing.. cause they arent created to be technical on :p (the neck is to fat..)

if it ahs a fat nek you cnat play tecnicle. i cant do much on the higer frets because of mys mal fingers and the neck widening so if sumthign has a wide neck you cant be technicle on it because you need to get your fingers properly over it all so it myust be standard playong. but if somthign has a fat neck its hard to reach even for standard playign on the e string

Hallowed is my favourite song ever

because cradle is crap.. :p

No-one can cover maiden it just wrong...

Cradle aren't that bad...but they shouldnt have covered hallowed by thy name its just not thir style

[QUOTE=Lateralias]Personally, I love Opeth's cover of Remember Tomorrow.[/QUOTE]

Hell yeh, that's a great cover. :thumb:

Nobody knows how to cover Iron Maiden correctly because they're not used to letting their bassist be so far up in the mix. Except that little Dream Theater cover; they've got a good enough bassist to actually pull off The Trooper, as well as pretty much every other Maiden song.

well, he aint to loud him either :p

didn't arch enemy cover aces high?

Bad idea covering the highest pitched scream in a maiden song
I havent heard the version but if he can get the end scream right then all credit to the vocalist

she growls... like an man...

[QUOTE=Eddie-the-Trooper]she growls... like an man...[/QUOTE]
oh well...
there's a moral to that story don't bother covering maiden if you cant sing it...

So how did everyone hear get into Iron Maiden.

I was browsing Best Buy one day when one of here albums caught my eye. So I bought it and ever since then they have been my favorite.

my uncle introduced me to maiden. he aws in a maiden cover band.

so yeah yesterday i went to the music store and saw they only had 3 maiden cd's. so i bought them all haha

Like many new Maiden fans, I heard "Two Minutes to Midnight" on Vice City and was blown away. I was looking to play the bass, and I had never heard a heavy metal song with so much bass in it. I had to have it!

how many guitarists are in iron maiden

3 currently

[QUOTE] 3 currently [/QUOTE]

ohhhhhhhhhhhh i thought it was just 2

It was the first time I heard Hallowed Be Thy Name, I think I listened to that song 5 times in a row, I couldn't get enough! I was hooked, and before you know it I'm collecting all their albums and DVD's. So far I've got CD's Iron Maiden (s/t) to Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, but they have alot of CDs. Best part of Maiden is there no Maiden era I hate or dislike, except maybe the short Blaze era, but even then some of the guitar and instrument work is nice and worth a listen. Maiden forever! :thumb:

huh..i dont know how i become that major maiden fan i am now :lol: for about 2 - 3 years ago i used to realy dislike em :p i think i become fan when i burned the "best of the beast" record to hear more of what they where...well, i think it was running free live on that album that made me an maiden fan, becouse i dont realy remember any other songs that far back :p

I can't remember exactly it was that long ago. I think I probably heard Run to the Hills somewhere, and thought this is good. I do remember buying Number Of The Beast and loving Hallowed Be Thy Name

[QUOTE=led_zep_luvr]ohhhhhhhhhhhh i thought it was just 2[/QUOTE]

It used to be until Blaze left, and Bruce came back and then Adrian Smith came back and they done the Brave New World album with the 3 guitarist.

[QUOTE=led_zep_luvr]ohhhhhhhhhhhh i thought it was just 2[/QUOTE]
lol
i like your ohhhhhhhhhh
yea it's three now with Bruch and Smith

i heard "bring your daughter" on kerrang, and thought it was ok... but then i heard "run to the hills" on the same channel, and was amazed - i went out and bought 'NOTB', and was blown away. I've been hooked since.

[QUOTE=Burning inside]It used to be until Blaze left, and Bruce came back and then Adrian Smith came back and they done the Brave New World album with the 3 guitarist.[/QUOTE]

originally- Dave Murray and Dennis Stratton (iron maiden)
the classic years- Adrian Smith and Dave Murray (killers-seventh son...)
the 90's- Dave Murray and Janick Gers (no prayer... - virtual X1)
the full lineup- Adrian Smith, Dave Murray, and Janick Gers (brave new world- ? )

Bruce wouldnt come back in the band unless Adrian came back as well, which i think really helped get the "true" Maiden sound back, as Adrian is such a big part of their sound.

copying my mate's Number of the beast album...
hallowed be thy name. no words express how good that song is...

i accidentally said to my friend one day about 3 years ago "i like iron maiden so much" (i meant to say "iron man" by black sabbath"), then a few days later, he buys me Killers for my birthday :smoke: been in love ever since :smoke:

ahh killers...
another life is so good

My first Maiden song was Caught Somewhere in Time, I adore the beggining. I like Paul Di'Anno's voice but Bruce is good too.

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]ahh killers...

Another Life and Drifter are my two fav's from that album :thumb:

Caught somewhere in time is one of my favourite tracks (although my fave track changes every time i listen to them!), i just love the solos! they are like 6 and a half days long! fantastic song. :D

[QUOTE=FrailandBedazzled1979]Another Life and Drifter are my two fav's from that album :thumb:[/QUOTE]
yeah i also like twiglight zone...

[QUOTE=Hardest_Rocker] I like Paul Di'Anno's voice but Bruce is good too.[/QUOTE]

I think that both Paul and Blaze have got good voices, but to me Bruce is the voice of Maiden, and if I hear any Maiden that isn't Bruce's voice, it just doesn't give off the same impact.

[QUOTE=mr snrub]I think that both Paul and Blaze have got good voices, but to me Bruce is the voice of Maiden, and if I hear any Maiden that isn't Bruce's voice, it just doesn't give off the same impact.[/QUOTE]
yeah listen to Bruce singing Prowler or remember tomorrow from Paul or Sign of the cross from Blaze it just sounds more like Maiden

my brother is a fan and when he lived at home he listend to Iron Maiden every day,so I had no choise :p
think I was bout 7-8 years old when I heard the first Maidensong, it was Alexander The Great :D

[QUOTE=ACSMAT]lol
yea it's three now with Bruch and Smith[/QUOTE]

:amaze:

i don't like twilight zone that much, dunno why, best on that album are drifter, title track and prodigal son (i'm a sucker for the 12-string acoustic).

but the first album is better.

****ing hell! heard my first Maiden song when I was 10. It happened to be Can I Play With Madness, which I still love. Oh yeah, Frail, I ****ing love Drifter man! it's a classic.
