Latest CD you bought...

[Rory]

Yup! It's my first Iced Earth album and it's great! It's like proper Heavy Metal, reminiscent of NOB era Maiden

Twas a bargain too, I got it for 15 euro, and it's 32 in HMV

May I reccomend "Something Wicked This Way Comes" as a follow up Earth purchase?

I second this notion.

Exactly the same CD that I've been advised to get on other forums! I'm gonna get "Alive in Athens" though

I know a guy who saw them in Athens in 2002, he was writing for Metalworks at the time, and he got to spend the morning of the gig with the band, and then travel to the gig with them..

This album has really impressed me!

Dont get the live album! That's what you get last and hear the songs played live after you know all the words and can sing along!

My first Iced Earth purchase was Alive in Athens. Same with Zeppelin actually. But you're right. I regretted this in both cases.

 

[SiliconMessiah]

Just pre-ordered Maiden's A Matter of Life and Death, the 10 inch clear vinyl of The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg, the CD single of The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg and Dream Theater's Score DVD

Twilightnings Delirium Veil is far superior to Plague House Puppet Show IMO!

My first introduction to Iron Maiden was their live album A Real Live Dead One, and though it's shockingly awful quality i loved it

 

[Tonberry]

I find that, especailly when its the crowd only singing on a live album, that if you don't know the wods from having heard the studio version, you really do miss out

Someone else knows Twighlighning!! I'm gonna have to get a copy of Delirium Veil then

 

[SiliconMessiah]

Oh yes, definetly! If you're online anytime then... i could send you something pertaining to that album...

In fact i heard of Twilightning through someone who had a great song but didn't know who the artist was so put my power metal expertise to the test and i didn't have a clue, found out somehow though, was hooked from then! Think the song was at least titled Delirium Veil, but not sure if it was that song or not.

And i agree about live albums, some people say they're great to get to know a band, but personally i don't think they're the best way. Best way is a best of album!

 

[Rory]

Live albums 4 teh win

If I was buying an album of a band I had'nt heard before, I'd get a live album! Just so more power in them

 

[SiliconMessiah]

hehe depends on the live album you choose sometimes!

Blind Guardians new album is out in September

Yes more money to fork out!
