ACACIA AVENUE !!!!

I just rediscovered this track by watching the Early Days DVD ... what a great fucking song. Serious jamming going on ... wish they play it live again

Absomotherfuckinlutely. That's a great DVD.

 

[Ayeka]

They played it at Donington 2003. Bruce had a laugh introducing it

 

[JayKeeley]

Best version is on Live After Death.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

That song wins

Could someone like, you know, like post an mp3 and stuff? I've never heard it but it seems to be THE Maiden song, so perhaps I should.

Even if it is "THE" Maiden song, it's still very much 'Iron Maiden'. I don't think it's going to change your opinion of the band or anything, you dirty homo.

he might like this one ... just for the extended jam/riffing at the later 1/3 of the song. It has some hippie elements to it.

That would be the equivalent of him saying, "I didn't really care for Hallowed be thy Name or Powerslave, but that 22 Acacia Avenue rules!".

One day, NADrian will like heavy metal again.

I wasn't thinking it would change me into a Maiden fanboy, but I'd still like to hear it.

Hey now I've been listening to a lot of brutal death in the past month or so.

If anything can break the Maiden block, I'd place my bets on something from Seventh Son...or did those pass you by as well? As for hearing 22, just get a dirt cheap copy of NOTB from Egay or something...

Nah, there's no block to break (and Seventh Son is the only proper Maiden album I own, I dig the title track and the rest is basically meh). Trad heavy metal is pretty much the same as thrash with me, if I didn't hear it when I was 14 chances are I won't be too into it. Doesn't mean I can't appreciate it though.

Thanks for the mp3 lurch. It's an okay song. :Spin:

EDIT: Right, by the end that got pretty cool. I'll listen again tomorrow when my brain isn't awash with ale.
