Metal/Rock/Industrial Just discovered Iron Maiden

[Jack Reacheround]

I have seen their art and stuff over the years and thought it was a clothing brand or something.

Wtf? Really? That’s like this kid at the gym who was wearing a Def Leppard shirt. I asked him if he actually like Def Leppard, because I thought it was weird someone his age would like such a shitty hair band. He didn’t even know who they were.

Came across them on Apple music and I was absolutely blown away. Really liking the Virtual XI, The X Factor, and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son albums.

Any Iron Maiden fans on Sherdog? What are your favorite albums.?

The best show I've ever seen in my life... so dope (Iron is like a religion here in Brazil).

My favorite album is powerslave. I bought this vinyl another day...

Maiden is one of 8f not the best Metal band to see live. Every song Dickinson puts on a new show. Maiden is far from my favorite metal band or music but LIVE imo no band can touch Maiden with Dickenson.

hallowed be thy name is goat and fear of the dark is #2

 

[TrumpSupporter]

fun fact, Steel Dragon movie with marcus whalberg took inspiration from Iron Maiden

***EDIT lol its called Rock Star*** hahaha

 

[Richie Madano]

Hallowed be Thy Name is a perfect song.

One of my all time favorites. Easily in my top 3 GOAT songs.

My mom took me to an Iron Maiden concert in 1983. I was only 3 or 4 years old.

True story.

Fucking love Maiden. Henry Rollins does a great bit about opening for them

I'm a big metal fan, but I could never get into Maiden.

No that would be Judas Priest.

Gay lead singer ( Rob Halford) is replaced by unknown from a tribute band (Ripper Owens)

This might be an unpopular opinion, but as a bass guitarist/musician Steve Harris > Geddy Lee (or at least his equal).

-Writes the songs, and they are complex, classically-influenced 6+ minute songs at that.
-Incredible bass playing speed and chops. His galloping right hand technique is legendary. He doesn't stay pedaling the root. If you listen to a live show where the bass cuts through well, he is basically playing a unison riff or counterpoint riff to the guitars throughout the entire song. With his fingers.
-When his signature "West Ham United" bass was released by Fender, I remember seeing a youtube video of a jazz snob doing an instrument review and basically looking at the camera and saying, "Look, I know what you are thinking...Iron Maiden? But in doing research on how this bass guitar came to be, I found myself humbled and inspired by Steve Harris' musicianship."

Yep, I have some of those, and megadeath and Metallica all From carnivals and rodeos

That's awesome. I won mine on the balloons & darts game. I definitely had Metallica & maybe Megadeth. One of my favorites was 2 buzzards sitting in tree in a desert-like area & one of them says: "Patience my ass, I'm going to kill something!" Good times.

EDIT: like this:

I am learning. Relax. Why are you so made. I like Def Leppard too. My gf took me too Journey and def Leppard concert. It was great

I’m not mad. I don’t even like Iron Maiden. But it’s weird that you thought it was a clothing company.

Maiden is pretty much the only one of the big metal bands I've yet to see, Ive listened to every album and although I'm not much of a fan I do respect them highly and always heard they put on a great live show.

I first saw them when they headlined the Monsters of Rock, at Donnington, England, 31 years ago next month, for more than 2 decades every time I heard the track they opened with, I was that 17 year old kid again, the memory only started to fade 5 or 6 years ago, maybe not have the sane energy today, but still a show worth seeing.
