Chris Axl Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 (edited) Just felt the urge to start a Maiden thread.I loove this band! its my fav after GN'R, Queen and Aerosmith.The thing I like most about themmust be their lyrics, (yes, I know Axl think their to political and that means I must mean it to, but I dont )I love the way their so magic and epic.Like "Rhimes Of The Ancient Mariner" Its like a fucking story!My fav songs are "Seventh Son OF A Seventh Sonn", "Aces High", "Hallowed Be Thy Name" and "Fear Of The Dark".My top 5 Maiden albums:1. Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son2. Powerlsave3. A Matter Of Life And Death4. Number Of The Beast5. Piece Of MindJust watched their RIR 01' concert, and god damn it rocks!

Chris Axl Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 Favourite song:Different World.thats a killer song! amazing way to open the album, and its one of my favs on the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman24 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Iron Maiden is fuckin' brilliant, I love the RiR III DVD. I'd rank the albums I own like this:1. Brave New World (brilliant )2. A Matter Of Life And Death3. Dance Of Death4. Fear Of The Dark5. Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son6. Piece Of Mind7. Powerslave8. Number Of The BeastI love their newer stuff much more. Some of these songs are really epic. But also the old Maiden albums had amazing songs, like "Hallowed Be Thy Name" or "Rhime Of The Ancient Mariner". But Brave New World is just an amazing album.

The Sandman Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Favourite song:Different World.thats a killer song! amazing way to open the album, and its one of my favs on the album.I must admit, I do also love "These Colours Don't Run"- only thing I dislike it track length on most of 'em. Would've been better to keep some of them short and sweet imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Favorite song for me is the first one I really noticed them for. Fear Of The Dark.Too many albums and songs to list as other favorites. If you ever think what Maiden I like, the answer is all of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 The first two albums with Paul Di'Anno will always be my favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Axl Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 I must say I think the "fear of the dark" album was pretty bad.The song however is genius.I have no idea how Steve Harris come up with the lyrics. He must read alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must read alotFrom wikipedia:"The song is said to be about Harris' childhood fear of the dark."And no way, the Fear Of The Dark album is amazing as I ranked it before, number 4 in my list. I love it. Amazing songs on this album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Fear Of The Dark is different for Maiden, definitely. I don't think it was a bad album though. There's some kick ass tunes on it like Be Quick Or Be Dead (heaviest, fastest song Maiden ever did), Affraid To Shoot Strangers, Wasting Love, Weekend Warrior (football hooligans?), Judas My Guide.

moreblack Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Paul D'ianno was here a few days ago. Apparently he's really bad these days...I didn't even go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he's really bad these days...I didn't even go.woahBruce is by fare the best frontman that has ever been in Maiden.D'ianno was really good and everyhting, excellent voice, good stage presence, everything.Only Bruce does what he did 100 times better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rQueen Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Bruce bores me a bit. Paul was unique.Maybe Paul would have bored you too if he had done 10 Maiden albums + the live ones.There's nothing boring about my Bruce, but then again we can't all agree on everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Third Man Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I'm a fan of all three Iron Maiden eras (Paul, Bruce, Blaze) but Bruce is my favourite of the lot. There's nothing I like more than epic music, so naturally Iron maiden (and Steve Harris in particular) does this for me every single time.Favourite songsRime of the Ancient MarinerHallowed Be Thy NameThe Longest DayTo Tame A Land (underrated)Alexander The Great (underrated as fuck) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axls Rose Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 i absolutely love Iron Maidon like i said in another thread i dont think theyv'e had the recognition they deserve, i'd like to see them get a life time achievment award one day. Bruce is the best frontman to me maidon isn't the same without him.my fav songs are:1 Afraid to shoot Strangers2 Fear of The dark3 The Number of The Beast4 Hallowed be Thy name5 Run To The Hills/ Bring your Daughter....Donninton Live 1992 awesome vidAnd you can't have a thread like this without mentioning the brilliant Eddie!!!!!!!!

The Third Man Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 For the person who mentioned RiR III DVD earlier. Have you seen the RiR DVD from 1985? It's an absolutely amazing show. The video quality is pro-shot but not the best, but the content is more than worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Axl Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 (edited) And you can't have a thread like this without mentioning the brilliant Eddie!!!!!!!!Offcourse Eddie rules.
