EDDIE!

anyway, im surprised (and ashamed) there has not been any iron maiden threads yet. they are an absolutely stunning band and i dont think they get the respect they deserve. i have two of their albums at the moment-edward the great and virtual- admittedly not their greatest albums but their stuff is just so addictive.
the solos, the passion in their singing is brilliant.

do many of u dudes listen to them much (i know retro-lover does) post any funny pics as well

and one last thing, can any of you name an album which i have to own. i was thinking of fear of the dark as there are no songs on that disc that ive heard before (apart from that one)

thanks

Good band I have pretty much all their albums, missung a few of their newer ones, I recommand you get either piece of mind or powerslave, easily their best fear of the dark is good also.

But for a good metal band nothing gets better than megadeth.

Never really been in to them to be honest. Im not really into Heavier stuff. They Headlined the Leeds Festival last year but i didnt bother watching them, i went and saw Bloc Party instead :)

Without a doubt my favorite band ever. People don't realize how much integrity they have. Before they were signed up, people were offering them loads of money to 'cut their hair' and play a more 'punkish sound'. But they did exactly what they wanted to do. And whilst they may not be as popular as Metallica and other bands who simply change their music to make more money. They still are incredible song writers, musicians and are the best live band ever.
And now someone will come in and claim it's just 'noise' and that -insert boring emo/indie band- are better.

I was thinking about going to see them with Marilyn Manson in Ireland last year/this year (I cant remember) But then I realised I had no money, and was scared of Ireland. Shame really.

Oh no he didn't! (In all seriousness, I love Megadeth. But find there music lacking a certain character that some other bands have)

and was scared of Ireland.
I don't blame you. I hear they take anyone unable to defend themselves underground. To an Irish salt mine.

Incredible band. They were the first band that got me into metal all those years back , when I first heard 'Number of the Beast' at the tender age of 12 or 13.

Since then it has been an incredible journey with some of the most influential metal albums ever released . You really need to check out the first seven studio albums and even the last two with the return of Bruce Dickinson.

I saw them way back on 16th June 2000 , at Earls Court - with the also awesome Slayer (if memory serves me correctly - I was rather stoned) in support. Needless to say ,that despite the venue (which wasn't much cop) , it was a bloody incredible night out.

I did have tickets to see them at Brixton in 2002 as part of their efforts to raise funds for Clive Burr , but I was seriously ill on the day and couldn't attend. Man , was I seriously pissed off.

yeah i heard it on their and it made me go back to them, i got 100 watt hifi recently and it sounds ledgendary
i dont think i'll ever find a metal band i prefer. metallica is great, and i like guns n roses/velvet revolver are pretty tasty as well
i think its the lyrics that i love the most, "white man came across the sea,he brought us pain and misery" ---"selling them whisky and taking their gold enslaving the young and DESTROYING THE OLD!"
OH YES
then there is the riffs solos and the bass


it dooesnt get better than maiden

Love Maiden one of my most favoured bands, got a few albums and dvds.

But I disagree with the first post, I think Maiden get the respect they deserve. I think most people in the rock/metal industry know Maiden are legends, and their music is outstanding.

Iron Maiden are my #1 band and I'm surprised so many relatively young people still like them today. Great to see.

I've got every album. Still not seen them live though, being at uni made it impossible to pop into London. I wasn't too fond of Dance of Death so I'll aim to see them live when they do the tour for the one after, which I'll hopefully like more.

what i meant by the respect thing, i know they are respected by thousands but so many teens are now just like "its crap listen to 50 cent,hes is better"
50 cent and people like him are just there because of their reputation not cos of his awsome rap
shamful
some bands work their ass off and play the music in their hearts not wot they think is gangsta and all that jazz

if you get my drift

Thats not respect. Thats being in the limelight because you would rather sell your band using commercialism and not real talent. Hell most of those tools aren't a band, 50 cent he's no band, he's no good, he's got no respect, even other rappers hate him.

Iron Maiden, one of the best bands ever. Don't have a favourite song cos theres too many great ones.

I saw Maiden twice in Ireland the last two times they came, last year at the RDS, Manson and Turbonegro were awful. But Maiden ruled, my fav band to see live.

Yeah great band. I once heard about some 13-16 year old girl who was talking about maiden in a record store. She said to her friend: "Iron maiden completely raped the children of bodom song, the trooper" or something like that. Laughed my ass off when I heard that :)

I think they're both great, the original and the bodom one. Altough the tempo in the bodom one is insane ;)

some of my favourite lyrics: TROOPER :The horse he sweats with fear we break to run, the mighty roar of the russian guns.----
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground, and the russians fire another round

Number of the beast:I’m coming back, I will return
And I’ll possess your body and I’ll make you burn
I have the fire, I have the force
I have the power to make my evil take it’s course (badababa baaaaaaaa sounds on electric)

please share your favourite lyrics as well, im all ears!
i know all the lyrics on the edward great album, hopefully the killers will be my next album after metallicas 'master of puppets'

I quite like Maiden, but I hadn't listened to them in a while until I put on B-Sides of the beast on my car stereo today. Also Prowler is an amazing song, the guitar solo half way through is so cool!

Britain seems to lack good metal bands these days... the best we have at the moment is BFMV.

One of the best things about Maiden is their cover arts. Probably some of the best around.

brothers and their fathers joining hands and make a chain, shadow of the wicker man is rising up again!
Your time will come! your time will cooooome!

serious ownage, anyone like the new metal band trivium? they sound pretty good
