iron maiden

[lord shishio]

fellow rockers out there, those of you who like this band, share you're experiences, fav. songs, concerts you've been to, and any other info you want. I would be interested to know.

I haven't never been to a concert, but my favorites would have to be The Number of the Beast and Fear of the Dark. Iron Maiden is the greatest American band ever.

Although people will just think that I dont like them cause there rock is wrong, I dont like them as all 80's music is dead and gone and should be forgotten

But just listening to all new music would suck, good music can be taken from all the times.

gibbi8, you wouldn't understand even if I tried to explain, so I'll just leave your comment uncommented... Okay I have to say one thing. Listening to only something that's "new" or "hip" or "in" isn't so civilized and "cool" as you might think. Would you also want to make 80's hip hop all "dead and gone" and "forgotten"? No, I wouldn't think so. Everything new in both hip hop and rock is based on those 80's (and earlier) artists, who were pioneers in their area.

That said, continuing on.

Iron Maiden is one of the metal pioneers, along Black Sabbath, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Motörhead, etc. the list goes on. That's why at I think they should be respected (even if not for the music, but for the guidance they've given to followers), even I respect those hip hop guys who started it all (though I don't know their names x)), even if I don't like the outcome of that development :D

It's a bit difficult to state one song over the other, because for one I haven't listened to Maiden so much, but also because there are many best songs, and it's a tough choice... Hmm. The Trooper, Fear of the Dark, Run to the Hills and Die With Your Boots On are all great songs. No-one has so much balls in their singing voice as Bruce does :P

I'm going to see their concert next month here in Finland \o/ can't wait to see it.
teeh, after this I've seen almost every one of the metal gods live :P only Black Sabbath (Why Ozzy why... why did you have to have that accident ;_;) and Motörhead are still left unseen.

as all 80's music is dead and gone and should be forgotten

the thing is that iron maiden is not from the 80's. and MOST, not all, 80's music is dead and should be forgotten (why wont you just die montly crew and ratt and poison and europe and... and most of you!!).

[Rini]

Okay radyk05, you got a good point there.
I mean...
"IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!!" AAAARGH >_<

Iron Maiden is the greatest American band ever.

whaaaaaaaaattt??? they're brittish!!

fear of the dark, number of the beast and run to the hills are some of my favorite IM songs.

[Chris]

So, what you're saying Gibbi boy is that Grace Jones should be forgotten? >:O
I think YOU need to be forgotten.

[Ultima Shadow]

Iron Maiden= Awesome.

Fear of the Dark= Awesome.

[DK]

Iron Maiden are British! American? PFFFFT!

Anyway, Maiden are great, and Bruce Dickinson is a legend.

[The Man]

Maiden are fast becoming one of my favourite bands ever. Favourite tracks right now are "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son," "The Trooper," "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," and "Hallowed Be Thy Name," but that could conceivably change at any minute. I haven't seen them in concert yet, but I'd very much like to.

80's music isn't a genre.

[SomethingBig]

Although people will just think that I dont like them cause there rock is wrong, I dont like them as all 80's music is dead and gone and should be forgotten

That's completely untrue. There are many people who still listen to music from that era.

When I said "greatest American band ever," I really meant "greatest english-singing band ever."

80's music isn't a genre.

Of course it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 80's was the best genre of music ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
