[QUOTE=Spirit_In_Black]on a slightly diferent note, i recently started getting nito iced earth and i would have to ssay that matt barlow isa my favourite vocalist ever!
how many other maiden fans like iced earth and/or matts voice?[/QUOTE]

I've only heard one iced earth song, and it was a cover of Translyvania, so I can't really comment on what the guy sounds like.

yep in Newcastle they were ****ing fantastic

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]yep in Newcastle they were ****ing fantastic[/QUOTE]

So you live in england. I went to see them in dublin and i live near armagh. It was only about a four hour train ride and me and two friends just skated up and down the train until one of the train workers confronted us and said if we didn calm down he would chuck us off the train(again). It was cool there. It was so different from the belfast muse concert so much more atmosphere at the maiden concert.

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]yep in Newcastle they were ****ing fantastic[/QUOTE]

I saw them in Newcastle also last year. They were pretty d[I]a[/I]mn good. Also saw them at Donington on the Give me Ed tour, that was amazing also

what do you think is the best bruce intro to a song?
by this I mean the little things he says before a song

mine is from last year (with spotlight)
"Light goes on, light goes off, just like that, fear of the dark"

[QUOTE=icebase]Yea can't help it i'm just soooo proud. You would be to. You been to any maiden concert's.[/QUOTE]


I saw them at Sheffield, on my best friends birthday, so when I got back from it, I could so drunk, I couldn't remember much...

Okay, so we have some UK ppl here........a question to the geordie...Why are there no good radio stations in the UK that actually play metal????? Like the bands that sprang forth from the bosom of the UK.........I heard not a trace of Maiden, Priest, Sabbath, Zeppelin or even Floyd for that matter. It wasnt a one off either, because I've been over loads of times now. No decent metal radio stations. Okay rant over.

PS- Seen Maiden twice now, both times in California.

nope there isn't any good radio stations, I have searched high and low...the closest thing to a decent station is kerrang...and i don't think i can say anything more...

I thought maybe it was the areas in particular I visited at first......but no, I went through England up through Scotland.......even Wales ffs......and nowt. How could this be? From the place that so many of the most talented metal musicians hail from........nary a riff to be heard. Apparently my rant was not over. :upset:

I know...its disgraceful, but there was a time, when I was younger, when all the music was heavy metal, those were the days...when I was like 7...though

man that sucks. like you pay whatever you pay for the tickets to one of your fav bands and then get drunk and then not remember it. that sucks.

It was worth it, I remember I had the time of my life watchinn 'em play, so I got drunk to celebrate, and I now have an excuse to go see 'em again...

[QUOTE=FrailandBedazzled1979]i got around 15 Maiden shirts, i have over 250 band tee shirts (50 of them being Metallica ones that i dont wear at all anymore really lol) but my favourite is probley my "somewhere in time" shirt or my "brave new world" / "give'em edd till im dead" tour shirts from the two shows ive seen :)[/QUOTE]

Yer, I have more than one maiden t shirt, I was just writing what I got for free and wasn't out in shops.

You don't need any excuse to see them again.

ok well if you like bruce's voice you'll probably like his, he has about as big a vocal range as bruce, if not bigger.

wow i wish i had that many, i got 1 maiden tshirt, its of the wickerman.
the only other band tshirts i got is 2 metallica ones, a slayer one, a led zeppelin one and a guns n roses one, so thats only 6 all up.
theres still all that i ever wear.

doesn't bruce have a radio show on BBC6?

^^^

indeed he does, Dave Mustaine (Megadeth \m/) i think is schuduled to be on there as him and Bruce as good friends.

(PS: ill be back sunday, im in Ohio, USA now for a family wedding :( )

i haven't heard any of bruce's stuff outside maiden, is it any good?

Ha, I just heard the Rock In Rio version of Fear Of The Dark. Brlliant :)

2001 Fotd > 1993 Fotd

Agreed. Same with Hallowed be thy Name. When they do it live its just amazing. Not that I'm saying the normal one isnt good.

i heard the live one first then heard the studio one and was disapointed
but not that disapointed lol

Woha... an Megadeth/Iron Maiden tour would be awsome! :D if they are good friends it should be possible.. :p (BRING BACK DAVE "JUNIOR"!!!! :angry: )

And get Marty Friedman back.

i didn't like the trooper the first time i heard the studio version... but i loved the live version, and after that, i started to love the studio version, though the studio does seem kinda empty after listening to it live
