[QUOTE=scream_for_me_brazil]I'm a mad Iron Maiden fan, but I need to know something.
Before Bruce Dickinson, how many other singers were in the band? and what were they called?

Thanking you.

:)[/QUOTE]

Paul day, Dennis Wilcock and Paul Di'annio, then bruce came, then bruce left, Blaze Baley, and then bruce came back...

I thought at point Adrian smith was the lead singer........'cos that was the only reason steve would let him in.......or that could have been daves old band before maiden

he did sing too.. reach out...

I know great song. I was talking about before Bruce came along....

in urchin, dave's band before maiden, adrian only got in because he said he was a singer (as they did not need more guitarists). then dave left for maiden, adrian took up guitar, adrian joined maiden, adrian left maiden (just before the sound house tapes, hence only1 guitarist). tony parsons joined, tony parsons left, dennis straton joined, recorded s/t album, straton joined praying mantis, adrian re-joined maiden in time to record "killers"

Does anyone have the Rock in Rio DVD?
Please tell me if it`s good!

its ****ing amazing! buy buy buy!!!! its worth every penny and more!!!

the live 'sign of the cross' and 'the clansman' are superb!!

agreed

also, the crowd's reaction to the opening strains of "2 minutes to midnight"

i av the DVD n it iz the best live show i have ever seen!!
the clansman is the best track on it
but wen they play out wiv Run to the hills evry1 goes crazy they are the best metal band ever n they cant half play live!

Rock in Rio is a great live DVD, the crowd react to all the hits which is most of the set list really.

ahhh i just replied to someone from the first page. i completely failed to realize this thread was 73 pages. o well

:lol:

Not to worry, welcome to the Maiden thread!

Probably this is a stupid question.....but can somebody tell me with which guitars they play

thx

Well Dave Murray often plays a fender strat, sometimes a jackson (don't know the model or anything)

Adrian plays a strat, used to use an Ibanez destroyer, and a gibson goldtop, I think they are hes favourite guitars

Janick uses some poor training guitar with no frets (well there has to be some reason for his sloppy playing)

Steve uses fender Precision 1 bass.

Thats just a quick list, I'm sure GurS will tell you every instrument ever played by Iron Maiden, that guy always surprises me with how quick he learned everything about maiden....

im good at reading........ :upset:

hmmm... steve use mainly one Fender Precision bass(the white one with red and blue binding..), but he has like 7 of them, you can se him use them in different cocerts..(like a real live dead one he uses an red...) But his main bass is the, and always have been the white (1971 i belive) P Bass(it was the blue sparkle before, and before that the black one used at Live at rainbow...) when it got repaintet the first time he changed the bridge and Pickups, and now all of his Basses are equiped with Badass II Bridge and Seymour Duncan Pickups ... :p He also have been seen with Lado Unicorn(Aces High Video) and an Ibanez Roadster II(Run to the hills video..) he is also supposed to own an Gibson Thunderbird... hell, the guy probaly owns 'kin lots of basses...

by the way, anyonknows about an place wich sells the colour blue sparkle? :p

I've always wanted to get my bass painted like his black and white chequred one.

[QUOTE=rik]I've always wanted to get my bass painted like his black and white chequred one.[/QUOTE]

i think he have two painted like that... or he have changed the the neck on it... becouse thoose pics i see of a black/White checkered one is from 1990 - 92.. and then it had an Rosewood Fretboard... on later pics it have an Maple Fretboard... i think its an bass from 59... atleast it says so in Live After death... but realy when i see the headstock(due the shape of fenders logo on later than 70's basses..) itr seems like its from the 80's until now...

I got into Iron Maiden 5 months ago and since then I have used practically all my money on buying there cds and I would like to say every Iron Maiden fan should own the Rock in Rio dvd.
