Epic Maiden Songs

[Schmidt_Rubin]

This is a question for the band, have you done or tried the epics that Maiden has written? Alexander The Great, Seventh Son etc.. We played Rhyme of the ancient mariner years ago and I remember it was tough getting through it. Me being so old and all..

Jenna has a list of songs the band has done in the past. search for "setlist" and you may find it.

They have done Seventh Son and Powerslave that I know of.

I LOVE playing Rime. It's one of my favorites to play! Seventh Son was also a favorite to play. Where do you live Schmidt_Rubin? We just may have a suprise for you in the next round of shows.

 

[Schmidt_Rubin]

Unfortunately I'm in the northeast, Massachusetts. I'd love to see your band sometime though.

Have you checked the demo page? Seventh Son is a featured live clip there!

 

[Schmidt_Rubin]

The demo page from what I can see has Children of the damned, Phantom of the opera and Killers, I would like to hear Seventh Son. I'll take another look.

 

[Air Raid Siren]

If you scroll down the page it has a live vid and 2 live audio clips.....

It's amazing the things i can find if I look Thanks

Hmm..I came across the "Essential Iron Maiden" cd and the majestic song "Seventh Son" wasn't included but the horrific " Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter" was. What's up with that?

I'd forgotten about that list!!! Need to add Purgatory to it now!

 

[Schmidt_Rubin]

I was always disappointed when Maiden wouldn't perform these songs, they played them on the specific tours for that album but never played them after. I understand they've never performed Alexander live. What a bummer.. The tours I've seen are.
Forget the tour name, they opened for Judas Priest.
Piece of Mind
World Slavery tour.
Somewhere in Time.
Seventh Son.
Brave new World with Queensryche and Halford.

I never saw them with Blaze Bailey and I didn't want to

Or, even easier, you can go to our myspace www.myspace.com/theironmaidens and hear it in the jukebox. That way you don't even have to wait for the download!

 

[Schmidt_Rubin]

I'm on myspace so I'll have to check it out, I have broadband so I really never have to wait anyway.

I remember that I could play pieces of Rime, that when you look at it section by section, its not that hard... its putting it all together and making it sound good that was the challenge....

That's what I found with Paschendale. It's basically variations of the same riff, but it's remember which order the riffs come that gets me. Otherwise (apart from the solos), it's a doddle!!

 

[Schmidt_Rubin]

For me it was stamina (no not that way ladies) geesh.. I had tendonitis surgery on both wrists, a combination of the 6 string bass and work. After that I couldn't play as long as I wanted to even on a 4 string bass. The fast intricate stuff became impossible, so I gave up metal and took up jazz, right now I'm doing a project along the lines of Acoustic Alchemy.
