[QUOTE=ashman]Yeh thats sounds cool. It's gonna be huge though :thumb:[/QUOTE]

i'll help out with what i know.. (need somthing about Steve? i'm the guy :lol: )

yeah I know most of the history myself
even tho im not in your authority....

[QUOTE=the_uber_penguin]There's three reasons for that:

1. It's their poppiest (to the extent that it's less then 4 minutes (I think, not all versions) and only has one guitar solo)

2. It's the song that got them onto Top Of The Pops

3. It was their first single with Bruce Dickenson on vocals, which added something fantastic to the band.[/QUOTE]
actually running free was the song that got them onto top of the pops (charted at 34)

Dudes... i just heard the screams of the roadie who broke his arm at the end of Sign of the cross at Rock in Rio..(mostly becouse i was listening for it..) that was 'kin freaky.. if you use Sourround on it you hear it quite good, its when bruce joins rest maiden at the scene(when he starts singing again at the very end of the song) he was supposed to come up on an somkinda platform with wings, but somthing went wrong, and the plat form landed on the arm of an roadie and broked it.. didnt know how many who knows about this from before but ****... thoose screams... :upset:

gonna listen for that
**** man...

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]gonna listen for that
**** man...[/QUOTE]

if you look closely, you can see the wings of the platform behind nicko through all the song.

was it the ed hunter tour when Bruce sang that suspended from the roof with huge angel wings?
that was in the maiden biography

Probaly the same thing yes, but this was on the BNW tour :p

What song do you guys think is better.....The Trooper or Number of the Beast??

The Trooper and NOTB both have good points:

Trooper:
Gallop Rhythm :thumb:
Twin solos
Chantterific chours
Great Sextuplet riff
Great song to sing when going into battle

NOTB:
Great intro, second only to SOTC
Simple Power chord verse
Great song to "mosh" to
Great twin solo
Great camp chaos video :thumb:

I can't choose though.

you see Bruce in the Flaming wings on the out of the silent planet video, I really wish it was on RiR... :(

personally the trooper

that's a ****ing difficult choice

I that vote is easily in the bag for HBTH name...

Another Victory for the Justice League....I mean Maiden Thread :thumb:

haha!

*white man jumping high five*

indeed

also, if you listen to 'back in the village', when bruce sings "i see sixes all the way", you can here Steve (probably) whispering "six six six"

It does sound like Steve, so it must be him...

indeed.

steve has a terrible voice :( yet he tries so hard

true, poor guy. I'd prefer him to have a bad voice to being a bad Bass player and Song writer.

ah well, works fine with out them, you get a man doing screaming backing vocals with out fitting the music instead, works just fine :p

[QUOTE=ashman]true, poor guy. I'd prefer him to have a bad voice to being a bad Bass player and Song writer.[/QUOTE]

what? I love That raspy,struggeling backing Vocals....


*Ruuuuuun to the Hills!*

He should have been lead vocals for Run to The Hills, I'd like to see him do that Bruce scream... :lol:

I still can't hear that bloke with the broken arm scream....


/sadist

i'll have to lookit 2moro

OK, new question ya'll

favourite Camp Chaos vid.

Mine's the trooper

I like flight of Icarus or Run to the hills best for vids
but flight of icarus (the song) is not one of their best
rtth has a kinda star wars-y thing going on in the video
and steve CAN'T sing ...
but who cares!?!
he's the best bassist and songwriter in the world!

ive only seen the camp chaos video for run to the hills, quite random
ive seen videos for 2 minutes to midnight, number of the beast, wicker man, can i play with madness and bring your daughter to the slaughter
on 2 minutes to midnight when bruce is headbangin (well sort of) it looks like hes got a wig on because of how his hair sort of bounces

love when it goes "his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave"

yeah it's overplayed though and I just got sick of it...

i <3 flight of icarus

[QUOTE=GurS]i <3 flight of icarus[/QUOTE]
Me too I just don't as much as I used to...

i havnt listened to it in a while...ive always quite liked it. even though its not a particulary fast song

the best bit is the outro solo

yeh that outtro solo is amazing

indeed.

the original icarus vid > camp chaos

foi is played a hell of a lot faster live...

tru say

havent seen either vid...theres a pic of nicko filming the vid in his big cloak thing in the piece of mind insert

tru say

i like that :P

[QUOTE=GurS]tru say

i like that :P[/QUOTE]
he has such a typically Nicko grin on his face :)

*gets gurs' post*

:amaze:

probably all the orginal videos are better than camp chaos ones...cartoons bug me

and in the wicker man what the hell is bruce swinging around his head?!?

i should SO dress up as nicko for halloween.

I'd need to bash my face into a brick wall a few times, though.
