spot on. maiden > any other band & also god

50th post!!! wow. lol.
*listening to rock in rio*
cum on maiden announce nxt summers tour dates!!!

"i'm coming back, i will return. and i'll posess your bodies and i'll make rio fvcking burn"

I was just watching it. Thats a great dvd.

i got the album ages ago. seen the dvd once, borrowed it off a mate. didnt watch any extra features tho.

I only have a really grainy video of RiR. It is Legal though, just a **** version.

the apparition does indeed well and truly suck.

Oh, and Afraid to Shoot Strangers is a 'war' themed song - Gulf War I (not the sequel).

Afraid to Shoot Strangers is a cool song.

Ok, one thing that start to any me about the IM BB is that.. they blame Steve for 'kin everything! That the albums have bad production, that maiden isnt playing there and here... probaly gonna blame him for the war in iraq soon... :angry:

[QUOTE=Eddie-the-Trooper]the guy is kidding.. i know he have said many times that he cant play maiden songs with 2 fingers :p (ydload, not steve..)[/QUOTE]

I can play everything except The Trooper with two fingers, and I'm working on that one! Phantom of the Opera is where I decided to start using two because the triplet pattern of three fingers doesn't work for the even-numbered notes of the blazing intro (once the drums come in).

But... I like the Apparition. :(

people shouldn't use subtle sarcasm it text, it's way to hard to tell. we need something like voice inflextion to undertand sarcasm.

I like that suggestion.

Everyone else seemed to get YDLoad's sarcasm.

And why does no-one else like "The Apparation?". Though I was taking the piss a bit by saying it was the best supernatural song. :p

i heard a little maiden the other day and they sound very queensryche-ee.

[QUOTE=Cliff 'em All]i heard a little maiden the other day and they sound very queensryche-ee.[/QUOTE]


Actually, the correct way to state that is that Queensryche sounds like them.

Mr. Riva Speakeths the Truth...

ok afraid to shoot strangers IS a war song but there is two sides to it
like bruce said on real dead one "this song is about a guy who doesn't want to kill ANYBODY"
so that's where the human desperation thing comes in...

Yeh, hence the name "Afraid to shoot strangers". Nearly all of the war songs by Maiden have a desperation type theme: The Trooper "As I lay forgotten and alone, without a tear I draw my parting Groan". The Aftermath "I'm left alone asking why". Blood on the Worlds hand "There's chaos across the border, and one day it could be happening to us". Paschendale "On his dying word he prays, tell the world of Paschendale". And there are more...

yup
plus blood on the world's hands is a great song
I had to compare a play in drama lesson to another thing (film, song,etc.)
i chose that and got an A
true story...

Cool, it's nice to see Maiden helping people in their education. We never got anything like that when I was at school, we had to do what the teachers wanted us to do, which was so **** ing boring...

Yes, I chose 2 Minutes To Midnight to analyse for this stupid poetry analysis. Got an A as well. I related it to everything from government conspiracies to nuclear winter.

you can relate maiden to everything because they cover so many different subjects
alot of my knowlege of history comes from maiden
...well maiden and blackadder episodes

Still life, Blood on the worlds hands, Childhoods end, No prayer for the dying and Killers(i dont hear it mentioned that often...)

killers rules
i've done it again!!

total eclipse is FAR too underated

killers and drifter are for too under-rated from that album. I personally like gangland (shock!). for me, to tame a land is overrated. Flash of the Blade is under rated, only the good die young and the clairvoyant is underrated, hooks in you, judas be my guide, the fugitive, judgement of heaven, out of the silent planet, the thin line between love and hate, face in the sand, electric journey man.

the more observent of you will have noticed that was in album order

do they do ANY ENGLISH tours

Powerslave is an awsome album. I lost it for years then found it. It was one of my happiest days

Underrated eh? I think the songs that Gur said, and others like The sea of Madness, the Prophecy, Public Enema Number One, Run Silent Run Deep, Chains Of Misery, Look For the Truth, Como Estais Amigos, The Nomad. Those are all I can think of.

[quote=darkmetallica]do they do ANY ENGLISH tours[/quote]

What do you mean?!?!?!

[QUOTE=darkmetallica]do they do ANY ENGLISH tours[/QUOTE]

no, they have never toured england, its not like they live hear or anything

and underated songs i think are revelations, murder in the rue morgue and killers. (basically anything of the first two albums except 'iron maiden' and 'wrathchild.'

[QUOTE=88_Fingers_Joe]no, they have never toured england, its not like they live hear or anything...[/QUOTE]

That does explain alot... :amaze:

sanctuary they play quite a bit, too.

and i really don't like chains of misery

Murders in the Rue Morgue, Purgatory

purgatory's good.

drifter or the title track though is the best on that album

[QUOTE=darkmetallica]do they do ANY ENGLISH tours[/QUOTE]
someone obviously knows bugger all about maiden

[QUOTE=GurS]purgatory's good.

drifter or the title track though is the best on that album[/QUOTE]

im listenin 2 killers now...havnt really listened 2 it much, spose i shd listen 2 it more as theyll be playin songs off it when they play UK nxt summer...need 2 listen 2 more piece of mind as well
