November 14, 200718 yr This thread is for discussing the awesomeness that is the punk-inspired NWOBHM band Iron Maiden. I got into them when I started metalling up my music taste. I first heard their song Run to the Hills on my iPod downloaded by my brother, and I've been hooked ever since. They have catchy riffs, their drummer is freaking brilliant, and their solos are intense. I strongly suggest listening to Number of the Beast, The Trooper, , and , just to start out (yeah, two of them are from Guitar Hero, w/e). They're just amazing. 8-) Steve Harris - Leader of the band, bassist, primary songwriter, keyboard, backing vocals Dave Murray - Lead guitarist, songwriter (one of the original members) Nicko McBrain - Drummer Bruce [bleep]inson - Lead singer, songwriter Adrian Smith - Guitarist, songwriter, backing vocals Janick Gers - Guitarist, songwriter \m/ -_- \m/ \m/ -_- \m/ \m/ -_- \m/ \m/ -_- \m/ \m/ -_- \m/ \m/ -_- \m/ \m/ -_- \m/ \m/ -_- \m/ \m/ -_- \m/ \m/ -_- \m/ \m/ -_- \m/
November 14, 200718 yr I got tickets to their show here in February, and as such just started getting into them. I quite like 'Wasted Years' and 'Hallowed be Thy Name'. Rockin' band.
November 14, 200718 yr I started listening to metal in August. I got a few CDs that Erk (02) here reccomended to me. Basically, Master of Puppets and the black album by Metallica and Countdown to Extinction, United Abominations, and Rust in Peace by Megadeth. I listened to the stuff for a while, and I really liked it. I asked him for more stuff to start listening to, and he pointed me towards Iron Maiden. The first CD of theirs I got was Powerslave, and it was brilliant. I think that 2 minutes to Midnight and Aces High were the best songs on the CD, though the whole thing was good. Recently, I acquired "The Number of The Beast," and it is even better than Powerslave. The whole thing is amazing, though I like Number of The Beast and Hallowed Be Thy Name best.

November 14, 200718 yr They'd be one of my favourite bands if not for Bruce [bleep]inson aka The Squeal. A friend to all is a friend to none.

November 14, 200718 yr Check out my band's cover of The Trooper! http://www.purevolume.com/thevala I've seen you post about your band earlier, though I never looked at it. I will do so now :P. Back to Iron Maiden... Alright, I have Number of The Beast and Powerslave...what album should I get next?

November 14, 200718 yr BUY the FULL discography then tell me that. Why did you capitalise "buy"? Please explain to me how the hell that changes the band's style of music in the slightest? I have heard their entire discography countless of times, and I'm telling you that Iron Maiden started out as a NWOBHM band, and that they are now a heavy metal band. The bandmembers have said the same thing - so I'm seriously starting to wonder if you're trolling..., or if you're actually serious.
November 14, 200718 yr Author BUY the FULL discography then tell me that. They are punk-influenced heavy metal/hard rock awesomeness. The end.
November 14, 200718 yr I have recently been listening to a lot of Metal as well. Last weekend I picked up Edward The Great: Greatest Hits It's brilliant. I was especially happy to see Number Of the Beast on there because that is quite possibly my favorite Iron Maiden song. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "(bleep) you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "(bleep) you."
November 14, 200718 yr Author ^ Sweet. Yeah, Edward the Great is a great album. I especially love the cover art. Eddie will never let us metalheads down! :twisted:
November 15, 200718 yr ^ Sweet. Yeah, Edward the Great is a great album. I especially love the cover art. Eddie will never let us metalheads down! :twisted: I guess a collection album is a good start. Some other albums you should check out is: Iron Maiden, The Number Of The Beast, Piece of Mind, Somewhere In Time, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son and actually the latest album A Matter of Life And Death. Probably the 6 albums i would recommend to any new listener. And look out, on the 5th of february the greatest live-ablum comes on dvd! Live after Death!
