    Iron Maiden Recording Techniques in the Studio

    I don't think they've ever used a click track, if you've seen the Making of DOD feature on the Death on the Road DVD, Janick mentions the use of a click by other bands and Nicko says something along the lines of "Click track, what's that?" Listening to the more recent albums would suggest no...

    Do you mean the typo that doesn't give H credit for Shadows? :D

    Official Maidenfans poll: Favorite live album 2015

    It's more about the songs and the stage show than the actual performances for me, the Powerslave era Eddie is my favourite and after the original Maiden England VHS, LAD was the second Maiden live concert vid I bought, so it holds nostalgic value. Of course, this is only my opinion

    If Eternity Should Fail

    From what I gather from the article (and Wikipedia, which led me there) it's all three of them in drop D, which is why I mentioned it, seeing as it's well known that H uses this tuning quite a lot. I've not tried learning the song yet, so can't comment for certain that it is indeed a triple drop...

    Official Maidenfans poll: Favorite Maiden guitarist 2015

    I voted for Davey last time, he's always been my favourite guitarist, but I'm feeling Jan might get my vote this time round. I'm gonna let the album sink in a bit more before I vote

    Official Maidenfans poll: Favorite studio album 2015

    Five years on since the last poll and my vote still goes to 7th Son. As I no doubt said in that thread, it was the first album I heard back in 1989 and has never been topped IMHO, I love every song and never skip a track while listening, I really can't say that for any other album (apart from...

    If Eternity Should Fail

    Must be the guitarist in me then, because I thought it after the first listen

    Did any of the songs from The Book Of Souls enter your top 10 maiden songs list?

    Still too early for me too, but EOTC and BOS are strong contenders

    The Book of Souls: General album discussion

    After just over a weeks worth of listening (only 2 listens on CD), I'm gonna say that this is my favourite album after 7th Son, which is the only album I listen to from start to finish, without skipping a track, the same can be said for BOS at the minute. The star of the album for me is Nicko...

    If Eternity Should Fail

    I already thought this, but the following article confirms the use of Dropped D tuning on this track: http://loudwire.com/iron-maiden-bruce-dickinson-the-book-of-souls-18-minute-opus-empire-of-the-clouds/

    The Book Of Souls (song not album)

    I've lost count how many times I've listened to this track now since the leak, but I can safely say it's my favourite on the album...so far! Nothing really new here, hence the reason why it didn't take me long to learn how to play it on guitar (apart from the solo's, which I'm still working on)...

    New posters! Who are you?

    Not really a new member, but I've not posted in about 4 years due to the breakup of my marriage and being busy starting a new career as a music producer, so I've only lurked for some time, a lot has changed since I was last active on here, but it's nice to see a few familiar names :) Thought I'd...

    Other's Maiden Blasphemy?

    I have a friend who says the exact same thing, he's a drummer so his opinion doesn't count and he's a Def Leppard fan too which is even worse because THEIR songs do all sound the same!
