    Maiden fans...the best?

    Hmm, I would very much like to believe that was true everywhere in the world, but apparently... It's great to hear from others that their concert experiences were good ones. For me, both Maiden shows I attended were blown by the other fans. I'm not the tallest guy and I was with my girlfriend at...

    Songs that you didn't "get" until seeing them live

    Fear of the Dark is a song that doesn't really work for me when I listen to it at home. It has to be part of a show, either on DVD or in person. The song that flashed me the most when I saw RiR was Sign of the Cross. After that I listened to the studio version and was disappointed. The song has...

    Official thread for Final Frontier discussion

    Re: Discussion thread for Final Frontier/El Dorado single Just a little improvement on the lyrics: "So gone is the glory and gone is the gold Well, if you knew the story, how come it has to be told?" I clearly hear that instead of the proposed "need a story" and it also makes a lot more sense...

    "1 new message" when there are really none

    For some reason it's 0 messages now. Problem solved itself I guess :ok:

    Official thread for Final Frontier discussion

    Re: Discussion thread for Final Frontier/El Dorado single I kinda have to agree with what was said about the Wasted Years tapping... I immediately had the connection in my head too, but it's a standard with rock/metal guitars. If they didn't have it in the intro/outro, well, there wouldn't be...

    "1 new message" when there are really none

    I have a slight problem with the PM systen. I haven't been here for quite a while and now it claims I have 1 new message, but there are NO messages at all in my inbox or outbox. I even pruned my messages to make sure something wasn't hidden away. It's still telling me I have 1 message and keeps...

    Official thread for Final Frontier discussion

    Re: Discussion thread for Final Frontier/El Dorado single When I received the Maiden newsletter yesterday, I was at work. I immediately tried to access the site and download the file, but it took a few attempts - then I e-mailed the song to myself so I could listen to it on my iPhone. I closed...

    Another ruined experience - August 14, Basle

    Thanks guys for the replies. Just a word to reason why I wrote this "review": I'm not looking for consolation or anyone telling me, "yeah, it must have been bad, I'm gonna call Maiden to play a private gig for you" - I'm definitely not someone to whine around like that, but I am greatly...

    Another ruined experience - August 14, Basle

    Maiden 2008 in Switzerland was practically a sequel to what happened in Dortmund in 2006. But let me take it from the start: Decided not to go to Wacken since I wanted to see Maiden only. Booked two tickets for Basle instead and later on an easyJet flight from Berlin to Basle. Total amount...

    German magazine Rock Hard: special "History of the Beast" feature

    Indeed, the same page twice. Just skip one of them, there are no pages missing.

    German magazine Rock Hard: special "History of the Beast" feature

    Okay guys, finally had the time to resolve the scanner problem and I also decided to scan the pages at a higher resolution because many of the photos I originally wanted to cut out are collaged on the pages and it would be a shame to destroy the layout. So you will get pages with a resolution of...

    Deep dark secret

    I absolutely dislike the studio version of Sign Of The Cross. But I LOVE the live version from Rock in Rio. I wished they would play it again. And I don't care much for the first two Maiden albums. :S

    German magazine Rock Hard: special "History of the Beast" feature

    SO sorry guys, but I'm having trouble with my scanner lately (great timing indeed <_< ) and it doesn't scan the pages the way I want it to... the photos come out oversaturated and extremely bright, something to do with the color correction, but I haven't found out yet how to correct it. As for...

    German magazine Rock Hard: special "History of the Beast" feature

    Relax guys, I'll scan the photos that are of interest. Of course I cannot scan every page in high-res since that would violate the copyright, but I guess especially the first ten pages (the early days) are most interesting, and you will get those in one way or another soon. I'll do my best!

    German magazine Rock Hard: special "History of the Beast" feature

    I don't read any rock or metal music mags because there are not that many bands I'm interested in reading about (I prefer drumming magazines), however I came across the February issue of Rock Hard today and the front cover prominently features the "Iron Maiden" cover and a big headline reading...

    Paiste releases Nicko McBrain signature cymbals

    Must... have... this ride. :wub: I've always been looking for Nicko's ride sound on other Paiste cymbals; of course in a lower price region than Signature (these go up to 500 Euros here). I thought I had found a pretty close one which I've been using for quite a while now, but this... if it's...

    Not ANOTHER live album in the works??!!

    These two YouTube clips are very informative! I've always read about the metal debate in the 80s, but this is the first time I'm actually seeing it. Nice how Maiden are incorporated in that "documentary".

    Not ANOTHER live album in the works??!!

    Maiden are making an album out of the AMOLAD tour? Is that it? Where does that info come from? Actually I was HOPING they would produce a new CD/DVD because the concert I attended (my first and only Maiden concert) was fucked up for me by other fans, and I'd be very happy if Maiden gave me...

    Nicko McBrain appears in the French magazine Batterie issue 27/September 2006

    It's interesting that they didn't do that drumkit graphic very accurately. Nicko used eight toms for the recording of AMOLAD (and possibly on tour, didn't see the kit) and his cymbals aren't all Signature series...

    Information on the next tour

    Bruce said in Dortmund that the band was so impressed by AMOLAD hitting #1 in Germany that they want to return in 2007 and play some old songs.
