In other news Nicko is winning the drummers poll:)

i think FOTD may have been the first one i actually bought. i think that's why i like it more than NPFD.
that Nowitzki guy really hates Nicko though, but i reckon that this is the best poll, cos he's winning :)

Dance of Death

Then just a bunch of downloaded stuff along the way.

i could never get into dance of death that much was more bruces voice i always thought it had changed a great deal especially from brave new world which i loved

So i just read a thread in the unofficial IMBB that says that NPFTD is a concept album about men who love men. It's pretty funny.

[QUOTE]Tailgunner - War epic, or Gay 'bombing' mission. Climb into this guy...never wonder why casual, promiscuous advert for gay loving. This line alone ensures that Bruce will NEVER sing this song ever again with a straight face!!

Holey Smoke - Someone forgot the lube!

NPFTD - Walking a long road - Never reaching the end Song about chasing fat guys with big arses

Public Enema #1 - People choking...fast bullets....on your knees..feeling tension sheesh, where do we start

Fates Warning - How come the bullet his the other guy Blind passion

The assassin - I'm coming after you A tale of two guys who were determined not to blow their stack first!! Read all the lyris again..it's quite amusing

Run Silent Run Deep - Now this does not necesserily mean it's about gay sex perse, but when you realise it's about submarines - i.e loads of sea-men & torpedos.......I rest my case.

Hooks In you - Now this one (and BYDTTS) are the only two I know are about hetro sex!! I dont like girls who've been hanging around...........For that well HUNG feeling

BYDTTS - read the rest of this thread!!! To many to mention

Mother Russia - Ok , I'm stretching it with this one, but consider the line Be proud of what you are... It's tme to come out of the closet!!
[/QUOTE]

Wow, that stretches it a bit.

Hmmmm, i don't think so, you could say the same thing about wrathchild though!!
[I]
And now I spend my time looking all around,
For a man that's nowhere to be found.
Until I find him I'm never gonna stop searching,
I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around.[/I]

When you look at Wrathchild in perspective of that NPFTD concept, it's a lot less far fetched.

[QUOTE=crag]So i just read a thread in the unofficial IMBB that says that NPFTD is a concept album about men who love men. It's pretty funny.[/QUOTE]

Well, bruce did get the title 'tailgunner' from a p0rno film about anal sex.....

It's about his dad :upset:

That's what I thought too, if only for the line "...my dad I've never seen." Seems pretty obvious to me!

Dude i know that, i meant that other songs, if you look at single sections could be construed differently, and twisted into a gay context. I suppose I should of been more explicit about my point.

Yeah...the fact it's about his dad, makes it worse :p

Much, much worse

'sup guys. i know i'm a few days late in bringing you this, but here's the latest studio diary. 7 tracks mixed now :)
[quote=Kevin Shirley's Studio Diary #6]Hi there, Maiden fans. An update so soon - well, let me tell you, it may have been a short week, but it has been extraordinarily productive!

Got in early Monday morning from Italy and sailed right into Paddington on the Heathrow Express and was hard at work by 10am. 'Arry came in about noon - and then the rest of the week is a blur.

Wing Commander Biggles came in a couple of times - to sing a couple of songs, to work on some lyrics and melodies - Steve writes the melodies and Bruce writes lyrics to fit the meter. Steve whistles the tune and Bruce scratches his head and concentrates, searching pages and pages of ideas and lyrics he's got prepared. By the way, when Bruce does a vocal, it's entirely physical! I don't have a great view of him, because that would be weird just staring at him singing, but I can see him enough to see that he moves like he's on stage - with a fixed microphone tho, of course. His arms windmill around, and when he gets back into the control room, he's covered in sweat! He says he gives his abdominals a serious workout each time, and the vocals on this album are bitching!!!! Actually, the whole thing is - no kidding!!! The drums are gigantic - 'Arry's bass goes up your ***, it's so biting and heavy, and all Three Amigos have pulled out serious melodic solos, and I love the songs!

Anyway, Biggles has only ONE song left to sing - and I have already got final mixes of SEVEN - yes, you read that correctly - seven songs are in the can, from an album of ten. We have been working chronologically the whole time - and the order we've recorded the songs - and mixed them, is the running order for the album. Bizarre, yet utterly true and seriously satisfying! I haven't been this excited since Silverchair's Frogstomp........ well, then I did enjoy the Led Zeppelin DVD and live albums ..... and then I loved producing the Black Crowes and earlier Maiden albums too .... and I had a kickass time getting Joe Bonamassa's new album done (by the way, if you're a fan of the blues at all - of Jeff Beck, Peter Green, etc - check out Joe's album. It's called You And Me and we did a cracking cover version of a Led Zeppelin blues track - Tea For One) .... but still, I am very excited!

Jan came in - did some gorgeous harmonics on the quiet section of the track we call "Billy Bunter", well, that's it's working title! He added some melodic lines to a sing-along bit and Adrian came in and had some nice lunches - and put down a terrific acoustic guitar track over one of Bruce's songs, Song #6, which could conceivably get a few spins on the radio even!! Steve put down some tasteful synths and sang ONE backing vocal; and really did a sterling job on the keyboards, ably assisted by long time Maiden stalwart, Michael Kenney - the live keyboard player, bass and guitar tech, and general all-round whiz-kid! I'm normally pretty feisty about the keyboards, as I don't love them -but these have really enhanced the few sections where they've been played! Actually, there hasn't been a fight on this entire session! Amazing! Adrian did burst a blood vessel and yell at Jan for having a giggle with me while he was trying to listen to one of his solos on a B-side track, but we put that down to the time of the month - and then 'Arry and I had that little "rockabilly" exchange back when - but it's been a seriously fantastic session! And you'll get to hear all of that!

So, that's where we're at. We've moved our mastering date forward, because as we'll finish well ahead of schedule, we can get some other things done - I'm gonna produce a quickie 10 day album in Las Vegas with indie-rockers Supagroup, I'll also fit in some surround sound mixes for future live releases, and I've got a couple of things to do for a little Jimmy Page thing that's going on in the background. You might wonder what all these rock stars do, when not dancing and prancing around the stage, but succesful people work very hard - and all the time too! It's exhausting!

So, I hope you've enjoyed this little peek into our week that's just flown by. All the boys are home today and I'm working in the studio on my own - making sure the rock/metal is just the way you like it! It doesn't sound like anyone else, and we like that! We don't listen to any current stuff and compare it in the studio - we like to make the music sound like music we want to hear. And I know you'll love it!

My son Josh's 18th birthday is 06.06.06.

Could I be parent of the Beast? I'd better check under his hair...........

a summer release, i think :D
edit: and wtf, my missing 500 posts have come back. i take it they were restored from the old comm. thread, but i never got to celebrate 4k :(

7 tracks mixed. A summer release does indeed seem likely. I can't wait.
