I like the Powerslave cover or that Killers pic you've got as your avatar.

Powerslave, SIT and Seventh son all have great covers. I also really like the one from No Prayer with Eddie about to kill the dude, and he's got metal claws.

My favourite picture, though, is the band staring at a cooked brain in Piece of Mind

Killers and The Trooper eddie is my two favortites..

[QUOTE=PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]Not Nickos Live version.[/QUOTE]
thanks, should have made it clear the version I meant, sorry !

Fave Eddy, would have to be: SSOASS (well the animation when he pulls that baby type thing out himself, or SIT, Powerslave...so many...can't choose

[QUOTE=PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]Ok I must know. What is your favorite Iron Maiden drawing/picture. Mine would either be the One with Ed holding
the Devils head, The trooper of course, or the Run to the Hills one.[/QUOTE]

I like killers and that one on "a real live one".

raising hell is cool too

[QUOTE=GurS]My favourite picture, though, is the band staring at a cooked brain in Piece of Mind[/QUOTE]

Oh wait, THAT'S my favorite picture ever.

i have a good taste in pictures :D

My favourite cover art is Live After Death. He just looks so **** powerful there.

i like the holographic album cover for rock in rio that is so d[I][U][/U][/I]amn cool!

I like the picture on the Visions of the Beast DVD. I just looks so evil and cool.

well i think number of the beast is the best cos... well its just so awsome, so is best of the beast!

notb is cool

and this thread = dying :(

Hmm...must think of a way to ressurect the thread...hmm...hows about, What was the first Maiden song you learnt to play all the way through?

Mine was The Trooper, such a great song and easy to play, but the gallop rhythm is hard to perfect, I'm still trying to get it to sound perfect...

i think the thread went downhill with all the "what maiden can you play"?

i'll ask a different question:

What shows of dianno's talent better? STA or Killers?

I Like Dianno's voice in Remember Tommorow but in general, I think his voice was better in Killers.

I love strange world and remember tomorrow
he was better on Iron maiden but then stuff like another life and twilight zone he is cool on too

strange world PWNZ

Iron Maiden Rules

But seriously, can anyone reccomend which Iron Maiden album to buy first?

lol

Number of the beast, my good man, best introduction to maiden there is. After that, get Powerslave, and from there i'd say either go for seventh son, one of the di'annos or one of the two newest ones

How many times has that question been asked? like a trillion..

so's your's, ash :p

where is Frail? this thread have gone downwards since he dissapeard...

i'm still waiting for another album. :)

yeh, eddie, you're right :(

WE DEMAND FRAIL

I've started listening to maiden a lot recently, their 2 albums i have are powerslave, and the best of. but they're really the only metal band i listen to. What other bands do ya think are similar to maiden (powermetal i think its called) and are worth listening to?
cheers.

Powermetal is like In Flames (moot)

Maiden are NWOBHM, New Wave Of British Heavy Metal.

so i suggest checking out other NWOBHM bands, such as sampson (bruce's old band) and judas priest. you may want to check out Paul Di'Anno and the Killers, too

if the guy wants power metal: Stratovarius are masters there.

Judas priest is nothing like maiden(Maiden is SOOOOO much better)... and bruces band was called samson...

Has anyone heard janicks old band "white spirit" (I think, can't remember). They any good?

I just picked up Iron Maiden, and Piece of Mind, both are amazing albums. I really like Paul's voice, this being the first I heard from him, it's not better than Bruce, but it's kinda interesting. I love Remember Tomorrow, especially when he hold "SKY" so long and high. And The Trooper is the best Iron Maiden song ever.

Stratovarius and Blind Guardian are the two easiest to get into, and still my favourites....you know im a power metal fiend!!!

What were those Iron Maiden songs that best exemplified "power metal" again? I saw the question answered before when I didn't have as many albums, but now I think I've got more examples in my personal collection again (like Flash of the Blade?).

does anybody else find the older a maiden album is the more you like it? by older i mean the longer you have owned it. because powerslave is by far my newest maiden album and its the 1 i dont like as much they always seem to take me a while to get into, peice of mind and dance of death did as well has any body else found that (i love peice of mind and dance of death as much as any other dont get me wrong)

umm in some ways a few songs do, like "heaven can wait" with the up-lifting chorus, and "sun and steel" is like an old old style power metal song with its chorus as well. The into to "the prophecy" is as well id say, overall they have the lyrical themes for power metal but the musically they dont play power metal.
