I hope they are touring soon.

Iron Maiden are the best metal band of all time, and hence the best band of all time. I have almost all their songs either on dl or cd..god i love them. The only metals bands to even come close are Judas Priest or 3 Inches of Blood. The only thing that makes me mad is that they never play anywhere near me. The closest show is in LA which is a 15 hour drive. Guess ill just have to keep watching my DVDs.

I seriously hope they come to Aus. I'm gonna get those tickets, and be at the concert with bells on.

^^^^

im so glad i live in the middle of the states lol, every band tours to St.Louis lol.

heres a new topic (glad u all liked my Orchestra one!!)

What guitar player would fit in well with Iron Maiden (aside from H, Davey, n Janick)...it can be a metal player, virtuiso, rock player...anyone.

ALSO...what guitar player would sound good playing a solo in a particular Maiden song. example...i think Alexi Laiho from COB could put a wonderful lead in "the wickerman" (even though it is one of Adrian's finest leads!) id still like to hear what he could do with it.

Marty Friedman in "Hallowed Be Thy Name." Very few guitar gods could improve on that song, but I think Friedman would be the best man for the job.

Randy Rhoades(R.I.P.), or Satch.

Id like to hear Joe as well with Iron Maiden, espically in a more guitar oriented track like "the lonliness of the long distance runner".

holy **** 112 pages :|
srry bout spamming, i dont really have anything to say about maiden

As for guitarist...let me go back 20 years in time, and have all that time to practice and then I would be the best guitarist for the job today :D

But oh how I would love to see Randy Rhoads up there :)

Yay, I got my Maiden Rarities 81' dvd in my trade today. Oh how Paul has let himself go over the years :p

I would like to see Hendrix with Maiden...that would be so "interesting" lol. Or maybe Eric Clapton...Because they play quite differently, it would be interesting to say the least.

To far back.. first page stuff... :(

Who i would see playing for Iron Maiden... Timo tolki would sure be funny! :lol: if steve came running by him he would fall...

or Dave Mustaine! Think about him and steve in unison singing behind Bruce on Run to the Hills! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Andre Olbrich from Blind Guardian would sound perfect for a song like "caught somewhere in time"...anything fast paced.

wow... Sum 41 opening for iron maiden.. scary stuff.. i am now convinced that Steve and the band hae nothing to do with who opens for them... like last year steve was asked to comment on their opening acts... "errrrh..."

i finally got some extra $$$ to buy a Maiden CD. I bought Number of the Beast and i absolutely love it. I just ordered Powerslave off Amazon.com

I always thought Piece of Mind was their best. It's the one I listen to most. Still.

summer 2005

Ok, I have a topic for discussion...if one of the band members dropped down dead (I hope that doesn't happen) and you played the instrument they did (or sing in bruces case), what songs would you play?

I would probably play infinite dreams, or even SOTC, or CSIT on Bass or guitar.

Out of the silent planet all the way. I couldn't do it nicko style though, I'd use a double kick pedal :eek:

Since I play the bass, the correct answer would be... kill myself. I could play The Trooper with three fingers, but that is blasphemous to Steve. And even if I could play The Number of the Beast live with thousands of screaming fans, I would never look as cool and confident as Steve does. I would probably pull a groin muscle trying to put a foot up on one of the amps like Steve is prone to doing.

I'd come in for Dave Murray, to play with Adrian Smith would be awesome. Although he'd have to play the solos, but i would back him with some serious rhythm. We'd play a best-of set, along with some great underrated songs like The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner. :thumb:

For Steve.... Blood Brothers.. Not his hardest piece, but the feelings in this song is just.. ah, wonderful... i would get an vintage fender P-bass, paint it like his west ham bass, string it with his signature strings, add an badass II bridge and make Seymour Duncan make me an EXACT copy of his pickups.. and i would play it through an Trace Elliot GP12X Pre amp with two Marshall 4x12 cabinets... Steves Death would have been the most expensive thing that ever had happened to me...

LOL, let's hope he doesn't die then :thumb:
