7/4 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 All I ever had was a 12" of the Cross Eyed Marry single. The guitar playing in that band wasn't crazy enough for me... . Quote
Shawn Posted March 22, 2008 Report Posted March 22, 2008 I saw this LP in the record store around 1981 and cajoled my Mother into buying it for me...under extreme protest I might add. Still my favorite cover of the series. Quote
Shawn Posted March 22, 2008 Report Posted March 22, 2008 This was the picture from the Powerslave tour book & t-shirt. I saw that tour at the Capitol Center D.C., January 28, 1985. Definitely one of the most memorable experiences from my teenage years. I later found out that We Are The World was recorded the same night as that Maiden show. Quote
Shawn Posted March 22, 2008 Report Posted March 22, 2008 One of the coolest band logos as well.... Quote
Shawn Posted March 22, 2008 Report Posted March 22, 2008 I really like the early Paul Dianno stuff better, there was a raw edge to the band that was lost when Dickinson took over. I still like the first few albums with Bruce, but the Killers era band was pretty incredible, hungry and just tapping into the sound they would build the rest of their career on. Quote
7/4 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Posted March 24, 2008 Clearly I have to re-think my footware options and check out what's on the market. . Quote
AndrewHill Posted March 24, 2008 Report Posted March 24, 2008 A girlfriend I had back in high school had an uncle who was a roadie and she used to get all kinds of backstage passes (mostly used) and memorabilia from him. When she moved she gave me some of this stuff, of which there was a back stage pass from the Powerslave tour and one of Dave Murray's wristbands. Saw them on the Somewhere in Time tour back in '87. By then the whole Eddie thing was becoming pretty tiresome for me, especially by the time when the end of the show came 'round, a 40 foot tall Eddie comes piling out from behind the drumset. Album-wise, ironically, I'm partial to Powerslave, but I cared for Piece of Mind the least. I always thought that album was a bit overrated. The first couple of albums are boss though where they had a grittier, punkier sound. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted September 10, 2008 Author Report Posted September 10, 2008 Anyone see the classic albums special on The Number Of The Beast on vh1? Quote
Soulstation1 Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Posted April 15, 2009 Went to the cd shop and they had about 10 IM lps I had to check them out Quote
AndrewHill Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 Went to the cd shop and they had about 10 IM lps I had to check them out Did you end up getting them all? Personally, the self-titled, Killers, Num o' the Beast, and Powerslave are my favs. Quote
Shawn Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 I just got back on an Iron Maiden kick recently. Been enjoying Somewhere In Time and Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son quite a bit. Those were the last two album I paid any attention to...and they've held up much better than I remember. I also agree with the comment that Piece Of Mind is overrated, I think it's the weakest record they released in the 80's. Quote
7/4 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 ...and I got crap about a Deep Purple thread! Quote
Joe G Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 ...and I got crap about a Deep Purple thread! Big Whoop wanna fight about it? Quote
Aggie87 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 Here's a new one for SS1: Not as cool as the Derek Riggs art. Quote
7/4 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 ...and I got crap about a Deep Purple thread! Big Whoop wanna fight about it? Sorry man...I never got Maiden. Killer rhythm section though. Quote
Shawn Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 Here's a new one for SS1: Not as cool as the Derek Riggs art. That film won best music documentary at SXSW this year. They played 39 countries on that tour, with over 2 million people attending. Quote
fomafomic65 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Posted April 19, 2009 My bedroom walls circa 1987! Mine too, well, stickers on the door Or was I already into Stranglers and Joy Division? Quote
Soulstation1 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Posted April 28, 2009 6 6 6 The number of the beast 6 6 6 The one for you and me (I hope I can still get into heaven) Quote
blajay Posted April 28, 2009 Report Posted April 28, 2009 Man you and I are completely on the same page this week. All I've been listening to is B3 records and Maiden. Enjoy! Quote
Soulstation1 Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Posted May 20, 2009 2 people were wearing vintage IM t-shirts last week at the bar Might get my first tattoo ever with Eddie on my entire back Quote
