Iron Maiden?

[Slammer_74]

Alright, I know p00g will reply to this one.... Anybody else out there a Rivethead? These guys have been around forever and are some of the true kings of metal, absolutely amazing musicians. They were huge in the late '80s, but have been playing since 1970 - they have undergone quite a few lineup changes but have settled back to the one that worked for them best - Bruce Dickinson - vocals, Steve Harris - bass, Adrian Smith - guitars, Dave Murray - guitars, Janick Gers - guitars, and Nicko McBrain - drums. Yes folks that's right they have 3 guitarists - makes for some incredible solo swapping. Some of the best music I've ever heard...

The CDs to get are:

Number of the Beast
Piece of Mind
Powerslave
Live after Death
Somewhere in Time(their best in my opinion)
Seventh son of a seventh son
No Prayer for the Dieing
Fear of the Dark(only ok in my)opinion
A real Live Dead One
Live at Donnington
Brave New World
And finally Rock in Rio

They had a slight line up change after Live at Donnington - Bruce left the band and was replaced by what I consider a third rate singer - but Bruce returned on Brave New World...

Alright I have ranted enough, now it's your turn...

That song is on Number of the Beast - I think it's called The Prisoner - I might be wrong though...

[crazycasey]

hahahah wow this is some old school stuff

[Slammer_74]

Hell Yeah - good s##t though, eh?

[crazycasey]

yup, old school rock is the greatest, like Guns an Roses and Kiss

[Slammer_74]

I wouldn't exactly class Iron Maiden with Guns and Roses and Kiss - admitedly they are excellent bands, and I do listen to them from time to time. But, the genres differ quite a bit - but again as p00gs says that's what makes this forum great, everybody gets to express there opinions, likes/dislikes of music...

[crazycasey]

yah thats what i was thinkin, just sayin that older rock is the coolest

[Slammer_74]

It all had to start somewhere.... :D

[Nihility]

Aces High and Fear Of The Dark \m/

Iron Maiden are great!

go find the Athreal cover of Fear Of The Dark...THE BEST COVER ON EARTH...female vocals as well as Athreal trademark grim screams and deep growls, as well as classical stuff mixed

it is SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!

[p00g0blin]

songs to start with would be anything on "Best Of The Beast". its a great collection of their good stuff. Aces High and Wasted Years rank high on my favorites chart.

i dont know if i can say enough about maiden. fact is...ive got two maiden tattoos on my leg. so i think that says enough right there. :)

snippet from my last conversation with my best friend:

p00 g0blin: free association. say the first thing you think of. ready?
josh's screen name: yes
p00 g0blin: iron maiden
josh's screen name: balls

josh rules. :D

[Slammer_74]

Alright, p00, here's one for ya'. Most played Iron Maiden Disk in your collection? Mines Somewhere in Time - the case is about to disintegrate:D

[p00g0blin]

Somewhere In Time or Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son. thats for when im home.

the car would be Best Of The Beast...that one is friggin always the requested album from people that ride with me. im getting people into Rock In Rio now..that album is rad. and i really really love Brave New World. i listen to that one a lot.

crappy picture of my sad dedication to metal. :)

[p00g0blin]

right next to that one is the Eddie from "The Trooper". they both have to be colored in still. that picture is horrible...the tattoo is actually really awesome...Jay Kelly from www.greenmantattoo.com did a great job so far. Jeff Lambert from that same shop is lined up to do "Aces High"...i think ill stop after that....like one maiden tattoo wasnt enough....oh man..im so lame.

[Slammer_74]

Nah, that ain't lame - just dedication:D I plan on getting a custom eddie done - wearing old school fire gear and holding an axe... I thought it would be cool.

ANd not to jack a thread that I started, but nice sig... Ketel One - ptui!!! It's not even made in eastern europe let alone russia! It's made in Holland, man.... Ah, I rant again....:rolleyes:

[p00g0blin]

who cares where it was made? its the good tish. never gives me a headache and it doesnt taste like smoke like grey goose. stoli is good...just not my fave. i absolutely LOVE ketel one vodka. :D

[p00g0blin]

oh yeah..and i think its hard to jack a thread that YOU started. but maybe im wrong. :)
