[QUOTE=Lightning Strikes Twice]Sounds awesome. I'm looking for a fairly easy Maiden song to learn on guitar..I know The Wicker Man intirely so I'm looking for something close to as easy as that.[/QUOTE]
Aces High. That was one of the first songs I've ever learned.

I forgot it though. I have to re-teach it to my self. >>

The Evil that Men Do is fairly easy aswell.

I guess I know Run To The Hills also, I forgot about it.

I love to listen to Wrathchild, but it's not something I'm really intrested in learning. I may give Rainmaker a try, or perhaps Children Of The Damned.

wrathchilds all about the bass anyway, or to me it is, one of my favs songs to play on it anyway.

I love the bridge of the song, where the riff just keeps going higher. It builds so much tension.

Try Killers, thats a cool song.

The Trooper is easily by far the easiest Maiden song.

Most of the Songs on SSOASS however... :p

[QUOTE=ashman]Most of the Songs on SSOASS however... :p[/QUOTE]
haha, i've been learning a couple of the songs on that album for the past week and i certainly agree with you:p

I suggest Rainmaker. The riff to that is very fun.

Or The Fallen Angel.

And the solos in Paschendale aren't that hard, except for Jannick's, but I've found you can normally get away with fake-shredding his solos...it's what he does live.

So when I go to University, I'm going to start a stadium-rock-cover band (probably going to be called [I]Epica[/I], but we might call ourselves [I]The Penguins Of Doom[/I] instead) Anyway, I was talking to the bassist for that and we were trying to chose our Iron Maiden cover...it was really wierd...couldn't really pick one which was a "stadium rock" in the same way I Believe In A Thing Called Love (The Darkness) or It's My Life (Bon Jovi) are... (we discluded the the "epics from that, since we'd mostly have a half-hour set list, and 6 or 7 minutes is too long to dedicate to one song out of that)

Any help or suggestions?

You Got Another Thing Comin' by Judas Priest
Hells Bells by AC/DC
The Immigrant Song by Led Zep

A few that come to mind.

Go learn 'reach out' or any other adria stuff (solo projects)

Hm, that's quite tough. I agree with Reach Out but apart from that i can't really think of any Maiden that you could say was 'Stadium Rock'.

Can't really think of any, but maybe Bring Your Daughter, or Run to the Hills, i think that's probably the closet but nothing really stadium rock, i think Fear of the Dark would probably work, but a bit long.

been listening to Powerslave alot of late. great album.

NP: Back In The Village

great song. RotAM is sooo great.

It's the greatest song ever.

I guess RTTH has the advantage that most people will know it.

yeah i think that's what you want from a stadium rock/cover band, not much point doing a song that no-one apart from fans will know, i still think BYDtTS as it was maiden only no 1 single

Yeah, the trooper is fun to cover.

I think Back in the village is pretty uderrated song.
*points to location message*

Watching bruce introduce people to the seventh tour of a seventh tour of maiden to the crowd at donnington '88 really makes me wish i had been a teen durring the '80s
the videos on youtube somewhere

The Duellist is another oarsome song from that album :)

Flash of the Blade, The Duellists, and Back in the Village are all underrated.

Epica is already a band...:p

[QUOTE=Mikesn]Flash of the Blade, The Duellists, and Back in the Village are all underrated.[/QUOTE]

That whole album is the most solid album maiden has ever made. All killer no filler. Not a bad track on there.

I like Powerslave..But I have a problem with Flash Of The Blade..Great song, don't get me wrong, but it's lacking at a few points.

Yeah, I was never big on that or The Duellist. Its still one of my all time favorite Maiden albums, though.

Its a really strong album. Personally i think 23:58 is the weakest song on it.

I'd say Flash Of The Blade or The Duellist have to be the weakest songs.

I agree.

[QUOTE=Lightning Strikes Twice]I'd say Flash Of The Blade or The Duellist have to be the weakest songs.[/QUOTE]
I find Flash of the Blade to be a pretty good song.

Well..It's good, but it's one of the weaker ones. The intro is cool though.

I find them all great songs.
