im a huge fan of Iron Maiden, have all original cds, lps, whatever is available out there, shirts etc...
recently i came across:
"The Tribute to the beast" which is a tribute compilation,... parts one and two... and it really sounds amazing, some of the covers/songs there i like better than originals.... but they are waaay heavier than originals... .. btw,just in my own opinion... for example "Fear of the Dark"

any other members that listen to that shi*? just wondering if these compilations are the only ones......?
 
Iron Maiden rocks ! I think I have just about everything they put out, including a few that were not ever put out in the states.
 
Mambeau: look for one called "rhyme of the ancient mariner", you will REALLY like it;)))

and for all of you that like Iron Maiden, look for Tribute to the Beast cds, i have it, and if you want to talk about it ( :) ) pm me:)

As for shows, it reatly depends, i went to Sisters of Mercy few months ago, and it was just ok, untill they hit their major hits you couln't really tell difference between songs. The acoustic side of the show SUCKED big time. But on the other hand my buddy who has smoked a joint the width of my thumb, and the lenght of my di*k-and he stood the whole show by the main speaker by the stage, he said they rocked, but he doesnt really remember anything.......


I also went to Billy Idol not so recently, and his music is way better live than on cds, he is a cool dude... his last album kicks ass once you listen to it few times...
 
you have NO IDEA how big of a maiden fan i am


Jpars drove the heap HUNDREDS OF AGONIZING AND OVERHEATING MILES INTO THE DEPTHS OF WASHINGTON......

TO SEE MAIDEN LIVE AT OZZFEST 2005


F**KING UNBELEIVABLE


i love maiden i own almost all albums except the blaze bailey phase.

by far my favorite band and seeing them live ranks in the top experieences of my life up to this point.

I am so f**King physced for the new album i can hardly keep my crap in my pants.


If youve heard Brighter Then a Thousand Suns and Ben Breeg you know wtf im talking about.

its going to be EPIC
 
Mambeu if you are going to buy any Maiden there are three must haves to get you into it

1) Number of the beast , hands down their most recognized and arguably best album

2) Peice of Mind (has flight of icurus, and The Trooper which is widely considered one of thier absolute best songs)

3) Brave new world this came out in like 2001? i think, and shows some of thier new stuff. its actually my favorite maiden album even over all the old ones.


if you get those 3 they will keep you occupied for at least a month in heavy rotation. maiden is almost cult like you have to get into it and really start exploring it

It's on the Powerslave album. It's taken from the classic written by Coleridge, Samuel Taylor, 1772-1834..

I saw Iron Maiden in the 80's as well. The last concert I saw was Motley Crue. Before that I got to see godsmack and Metallica, center stage front row, seats 1 & 2. Robert Trujillo reached down and gave my wife his pick.

thats tight.

we were dead center dead front for every major act at ozzfest, as in 4 feet away, entire place is going insane for mudvayne.

my friend who thinks they blow hard, is the only person not rocking out. just standing there while everyone else is moshing up and down all around

lead singer from mudvayne (while screaming) gets on his knees and puts the bird right in my friends face. friend stood there unfazed and flipped him right back off, ill never forget it
 
I grew up on them and still break out Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind (my favorite) and Somewhere in Time. got all but the Blaze and Di'Anno recordings.

I tend to shy away from metal comps/tributes (except for my Industrial Tribute to Judas Priest :) ) however now that I listen to much more aggresive metal, I may take a look at this one you speak of. I think that Sabbath tribute Nativety in Black turned me off of tributes for years.
 
My first concert was Maiden on their Powerslave tour '85.Twisted Sister was supposed to open but something happened and they were'nt able to open.Maiden played for 4 1/2 hours- it was simply awesome.They even played Phantom of The Opera (first time this song was ever played in concert in the U.S.).
 
What are you, on crack?

I'm a hardcore Maiden fan and I don't think associating Eddie with f**king spongebob is cool or even funny. You're going to hell for that one man, and not the good hell where Eddie is Overlord...
 
Actually I AM an Iron maiden fan!

So heres one for you Beej...:kissyou:

I have all thier albums up to "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" on vinyl too, the artwork is much more detailed in the larger format.
