Blue J Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Have acquired about 32 IM albums this year, still haven't listened to them all (I'm typically a random shuffle kind of guy, lol). Pinpointing my favorite songs and albums is a bit complicated, but Powerslave and Piece of Mind head the list, with A Matter of Life and Death, Seventh Son, and Brave New World circulating in this righteous mix. Â A Matter of Life and Death has got to be my next purchase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicHead Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I double-checked my IM collection. It's comprised of 44 discs, many of which are live double albums, B-side offerings, etc. 33 albums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Unholy Shit! Another Iron Maiden Thread! Where do I begin??? "Killers' is the greatest Maiden album ever. "Piece Of Mind" with "Dick"inson is his best ever! Then again I am a "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" addict. Progressive Metal at it's finest. I've seen Iron Maiden every tour since "Somewhere In Time." That's not that impressive. Wait I didn't see the shit album tours with that other shit singer who replaced Bruce. Personally have no fuckinng clue why they had to add that third guitar player. He is useless like tits on a bull. JMO You only need Smith and Murray!!!!!! WTF????? NUMBER OF THE BEAST!! "TO HELL WITH THE DEVIL!" Love, STRYPER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMO You only need Smith and Murray!!!!!! Adrian quit for a while and when he returned they just didn't kick Janick out. He is pretty useless though as far as the sound.,.more of a stunt guitarist.

foghorn-leghorn Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Really liked this band when they first burst on to the scene. They stood out as the best of the NWOBHM that came marching through the wreckage of "Punk Rock". In those days, it was the likes of Paul Di'annio on vocals, Clive Burr on drums, and Daryl Stratton on guitar. Those first 2 Maiden albums especially, were classics. Great live, I saw them a couple of times supporting Kiss on an early European tour, and later when they became headliners. Always a great show. It began to get a bit dodgy with the never ending lineup changes, but Harris played a master stroke when he brought all 3 recent guitarists back into the one lineup. Must be honest and say that like AC/DC,I have not heard any of their material for decades.

Simply phenomenal footage covering pre-first album through Piece of Mind including a performance and the Ruskin Arms!! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/82/Iron_Maiden_-_The_Early_Days.jpg  http://en.wikipedia...._The_Early_Days :haz: :haz: :haz: :haz: :haz: :haz: :haz: :haz: :haz: :haz: :haz: :haz: :haz: Edited April 7, 2015 by Justin Case 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Are there more live versions of Wrathchild and The Trooper released, or ones of Tom Sawyer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foghorn-leghorn Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Now that does look interesting. Will seek that out, thanks. Last time I saw them live was in the mid 80's in Germany. The 3 guitarists were already in place. Stunning lineup that night. Scorpions, Maiden, Priest, Ozzy, Def Leppard, Krokus, Twisted Sister Quiet Riot and MSG. Being Germany, the whole thing was televised. I have 4 hrs of performances from that night on video somewhere.

RUSHHEAD666 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I bought my brother in law "Piece Of Mind" on virgin vinyl for his birthday.You should have seen his face.He looked like a little kid when he opened it up! EPIC MOMENT! MAIDEN RULES!! Except for those two SHIT SANDWICH albums without Bruce!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foghorn-leghorn Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Was that possibly in Dortmund? Yes! Dortmund Westfahlen Halle. Stages, one at each end of the hall so only 15 minutes between bands . Correction ,Gers was not playing. I saw so many guitar players that night I must have imagined the trio.

Unfortunately, the missing track is Iron Maiden, which was when Eddie came out...and that particular show, they killed him!! Beat the crap out of him...stomped on him....ripped the top of his head off....fun stuff!! The good news is that footage does appear on another release (12 Wasted Years), which is included in History of IM part 3: Maiden England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanadu Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Lot of great music, and I am going to jump on the Powerslave bandwagon. Always loved that one from start to finish. I have a great memory of English Lit class my senior year in high school, my teacher actually played Rime of the Ancient Mariner for the class. Cool teacher, huh? :haz: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I saw Paul live twice, 2004 and 2012...he´s a shadow of his former self, and acts like a prick. A guy came up on stage to hug him and he punched him in the face! Plus he doesn´t really have a band, he hires local musicians to play with him.

Justin Case Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 He lives in Rio, I think. I've also seen him a couple times and he's always going on about how great it is down there. I agree...he's definitely not what he was, but it's fun to see the first 2 albums performed. He should really add Women in Uniform to the set!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I think he actually lived in São Paulo for a long time, not Rio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
