    Surely a band such as Maiden deserves it's own thread, somewhere that Maiden fans can chat about anything Maiden.

    So here it is



    First contribution, wonder what the mystery announcement is at midnight??

    Nice big countdown ticking away on the Maiden website

    It'd be great if they announced their bloody support for Dublin!

    Nice, but i think this announcement will be slightly bigger than just announcing a support band for 1 gig


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,687 ✭✭✭✭jack presley


    I suppose it'll be the release date for either the album or the first single


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,483 ✭✭✭Ostrom


    Could someone post after the deadline? Cant read the site on my phone!

    Probably the release date of The Final Frontier tbh. Something like that anyway!!!

    But great idea for a thread, as a band as great as them defo deserves its own thread!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,560 ✭✭✭✭Kess73


    Would imagine it is a release date for the new album or maybe for the lead single off of it.


    Unless of course they are going to have some of the first single to listen to on the site from midnight....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,445 ✭✭✭Jako8


    I wonder if they have it syncronised around the world because if they don't we'll be waiting another 5 hours or so until the U.S. hits 12 a.m.

    I remember it happened with Scars on Broadway's timer. :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,560 ✭✭✭✭Kess73

    Sounds like something from the No Prayer album. Dickinson's got snearing tone he had around then.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,445 ✭✭✭Jako8


    Class song! Really enjoyed it. :)

    Looking forward to the album now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,493 ✭✭✭DazMarz


    Promises to be epic... Loving the album art too...

    Here's hoping the whole album is better than A Matter Of Life And Death which I was not too enamoured with...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,873 ✭✭✭RayCon


    Upon first listen I'd say Good song .... will probably be a grower ... have to say Im not liking the artwork


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,839 ✭✭✭Jelle1880


    Can't wait to get home now :D
    Album art is nice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 805 ✭✭✭metzengerstein


    album and single artwork is awesome ,gonna download the track at lunch time


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,072 ✭✭✭PeterIanStaker


    I would have preferred a cover with Eddie instead of a Predator/Predalien lookalike but I like El Dorado so far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,560 ✭✭✭✭Kess73

    That is Eddie on the cover.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,687 ✭✭✭✭jack presley


    Not really a fan of the song. let's hope it's one of the weaker tracks on the album. Or maybe it will grow on me. Hopefully it will.

    As for the artwork? If it's not Derek Riggs, it's never going to a classic.

    After listening to it a few times it's growing on me, I just hope Bruce sings the song like a Maiden song live, instead of one of his solo-projects.
    The vocals are a bit dull.

    Gotta be either 'Killers' or Somewhere in Time' for me. I love all the background stuff on SIT


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,895 ✭✭✭grimm2005


    I quite like the artwork, it's certainly better than a matter of life and death and dance of death (the latter having pretty awful artwork, despite an otherwise very good album). It's more like classic maiden covers.

    I wasn't sure of the song at first but it's definitly growing on me


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,839 ✭✭✭Jelle1880


    My favourite artwork is definitely Powerslave.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 175 ✭✭Blerdiii


    i was really looking forward to El Dorado bit dissapointed but can see it growing on me . vocALS are a bit flat but hopefully they're saving the best. :P
    still cant wait till july!

    That tune is pretty good. Took a few listens to get into it but it bodes well for the new album.


  • Registered Users Posts: 28 leonh74


    starting to get more into the new track the more i listen to it.
    killers or somewhere in time would be my favourite artwork from riggs


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,943 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla


    Here's a link to the setlist on the opening night of the tour last night

    Sure is interesting

    The new song really took a few listens for me to get into.
    I'm loving it now though :pac:

    Nothing from Powerslave?

    Or Piece of mind?

    I thought they'd surely play some tracks off them at every gig. :confused:

    Didn't they say before the Somewhere Back in Time Tour that they'd be using that tour to play some of the older tracks for the last time and put them to bed for a while?


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,839 ✭✭✭Jelle1880


    Yeah, this tour will mostly consist of newer stuff and songs that were made when Bruce rejoined.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,943 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla


    Anybody ever see this video? Feckin hilarious, from a German TV show (like Top of the Pops) in 1986.
    Story is the band we getting extremely pissed off with TV shows and how they were treated, so they decided to have some fun (Apart from Adrian who thought that it would hurt the band's reputation!!)



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,687 ✭✭✭✭jack presley


    I remember that from the 12 Wasted Years video (VHS - remember those?). Good stuff alright!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,560 ✭✭✭✭Kess73


    Ahh yes, it was some music show that refused to let the band play live, so Maiden refused to play along with miming the song.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,577 ✭✭✭lord lucan


    The Maiden lads got the tour of Johnson Space Center in Texas the other day. They're big fans of the Space programme.

    http://www.ironmaiden.com/index.php?categoryid=8&p2_articleid=1219

    This gives me the opportunity to post this video which combines 2 of my loves,Spaceflight and Heavy Metal. These guys put together mission highlight videos which are set to music,this one is from STS-125 in May '09 on the final repair mission of the Hubble Telescope.

    pretty lame setlist bar the last 6 songs ,well for me anyway ,am bored of the new maiden stuf just too repedative the long songs with long choruses are just a snorefest brave new worl will always be the best of the new ones but there taking the p**s now ,still not level with an interview with lars ulrich though ha ha


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,839 ✭✭✭Jelle1880


    And I'm bored with Run to the Hills, Fear of the Dark,...
    If you want to hear their old stuff you should have gone to the Somewhere Back In Time Tour.

    This is in support of the new album and it's a different setlist from what they've been doing for the last years.

    And there's still tons of great songs there.

    i would have gone but the scaldy c**ts wouldnt come here on the tour ,and im not made of money.i know its supporting the new album but they should have a lot of classics in there and less new stuff one of the last times i went to see them they played the whole of their new album i fel asleep .

    most bands will play maybe 3 new tunes and whip out mostly classics.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,179 ✭✭✭FunkZ


    Listened to the No Prayer album for the first time in years and it is unreal!

    Mother Russia, unreal tune.
