[QUOTE=temporary]Sweet, Best of the B Sides just came in the Daily Upload! Kickas[i]s[/i]!

On another note, I really want to get some of Blaze solo work, but its damn hard to find around here.[/QUOTE]

You can get 'em off amazon.


But yeah blaze really pwns. If we're lucky on one of the history discs we will get the live performence they recorded for brazilian tv with blaze/

As for T-shirts: Eddie Rips up N.America, piece of mind (black and white) and thats it. :thumb:

I've only listened to a couple songs of Best of the B Sides, but Nicko and Steve sound awsome on My Generation, considering who they're covering (and Blaze is in top form.) All the other tracks I've heard sound great too.

Oh, and I'll check out Blazes stuff on Amazon, thanks Frank.

Edit: Sweeeeeeeeeeet cover of Cross Eyed Marry.

i haven't really explored much of maiden's music, but i really like 'em
what album(s) does Blaze perform in?

Blaze is on The X Factor and Virtual XI. They are generally regarded as substandard by those not in the know, but we here know differently.

Have you guys heard that Nicko McBrain is a born again christian? I found this funny for some reason.

Yeah, it's kinda weird.


I'm making a general announcement to all guitarists; Learn the Evil that Men do NOW!

The Dave Murray part is so much fun to play and it's a lot easier then I thought it would be.

I'm actually now able to play along to most Maiden songs on GP without looking through the tab...I feel special and kinda fuzzy inside :lol:

I've always though Blaze was ****.

[QUOTE=Dannyboy15]I've always though Blaze was ****.[/QUOTE]

well, you're obviously retarded.

:wave:

i can understand why he thinks that. Blaze changed Maiden in the time that he was with them. bruce brought what is for me the "real" maiden back when he returned. i might get some Blaze stuff nevertheless, it might be worth a listen.

Just remember, the music would have been the same with or without bruce. Steve wrote those songs based on the experiences he was going though at the time. The experiences made the x factor dark not blaze, remember that.

Blaze has a different voice, and I think that's what pisses a lot of fans off. Same thing happened when Tim "The Ripper" took over from Rob Halford.

IIRC, Blaze did have a hand in writing some of those songs, so some of them might have been a little less dark :p

Yeah, but not many of them

The upbeat song on the album, MOTE, is a non-Harris track.

/knows H's part:cool:

Heh, I just found this picture of my girlfriend wearing one of my maiden t-shirts. Can't really remember why she's wearing it, she don't like them [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y290/rikcoe/DSC001112eJPGmsg39985389-014A-411A-.jpg[/IMG]

fair enough harris wrote them, but Blaze certainly had an influence, its no coincidence that the blaze maiden songs in general sound far different from bruce maiden.

the whole Blaze-era sound is darker, and suits Blaze's voice better than it would suit Bruce's.
the latest diary isn't up yet, don't know why. normally they go up on mondays :(

I'm glad Blaze brought a different sound to Maiden, I wouldn't have wanted a Bruce clone (that being side, of course I'm glad Bruce came back.) Blaze's voice really suites the X Factor well.

yo watsup everyone im new here and probably will be posting on here often, oh and temporary its matt

uh, hey..welcome to the Maiden thread.

I see you already know 'im over there.

We enforce some rules here.

[QUOTE=victim of changes]yo watsup everyone im new here and probably will be posting on here often, oh and temporary its matt[/QUOTE]

Yo matt, this is weird.

Anyways, yeah...Best of the B sides is awsome. I love Rainbow's Gold (did they write it, or is it a cover?)

Yeah, that was the problem with Judas Priest, they ended up sounding like a bad cover band.

If Josh doesn't get the studio update soon, then someone will have to be slapped like ginger stepchild. :evil:

Hey, this is my first post in the Maiden thread. I'm a huge Maiden fan, and lately I've been listening to Fear Of The Dark. One thing that really strikes me about Maiden is that I find that changes in tempo in some of the songs on that album are very ... umm ... abrupt. Not really smooth at all. I feel they have improved that on Brave New World though.

I like them better live because those abrupt tempo changes really get the crowd going alot easier than some other bands do. I like the general Maiden sound too, the guitar harmonies really work for me.

As for Blaze, I'm not very keen on him, but thats just from hearing one song: Virus, so my opinion is probably not very valued regarding that. Haven't heard any of his solo stuff either.

Bruce's solo work is good. He's got a great voice, with alot of range and power. Balls to Picasso is a great album

[QUOTE=ashman]IIRC, Blaze did have a hand in writing some of those songs, so some of them might have been a little less dark :p[/QUOTE]

But, many if not all the songs he has a credit to, he only wrote the lyrics not the music.
Infact i think he did only write the lyrics to the songs he has a credit to.

If that made any sense at all

Well I guess he probably helped influence those songs. I don't know, I'm not in Maiden....yet :p

You must get some Blaze immediately.

[QUOTE]Hmm...I'm sensing a collaboration:p [/QUOTE]
haha, sounds good to me.

Virus is probably the worst song from the Blaze era.

Agreed, it doesn't even have a solo:angry:
