Name Your Song Pick for the Next Maidens' CD

[Kirsten "Bruce Chickinson"]

It's time for a new TIMs CD, doncha think? Well, don't get too excited yet :Smokin: because it's still a ways off, but we'd love to know your thoughts on which songs to include. FYI, here's what the band has already recorded and released in the U.S.:

The Number of the Beast
Two Minutes to Midnight
Children of the Damned
The Trooper
Wasted Years
Killers
Aces High
Phantom of the Opera
Run to the Hills
Hallowed be thy Name
Remember Tomorrow

We might repeat a couple of the "classics" but we obviously don't want to record a lot of the same songs again. So, let 'er rip and let us know what YOU would like to hear on our next CD! Thanks!

Gangland

This would be a godsend! Been hoping for a new CD from this extremely-gifted line-up of the IM's.

BTW, "Where Eagles Dare" would be my choice.

 

[Johann von Marck]

I would like to hear:

Hanging Judge - Armored Saint
Back in the Village -Iron Maiden (special acoustic version)
Hordes of Chaos - Kreator (with video of band members engaged in medieval combat vs. undead in a castle)
Princess of the Night - Saxon
I want out - Helloween
Lone Justice - Anthrax
Breadfan (Metallica version)
Electric Crown - Testament
Into the Lungs of Hell / Set the World Afire - Megadeth
Die With A Beer In Your Hand - Tankard
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme - ABBA

 

[Steph Harris]

Cool tunes...but we're doing a Maiden tribute CD so it's gotta be all Maiden songs.

 

[Johann von Marck]

I forgot to mention, this was the Limited Edition, picture disc, signed "B" side. Still working on Disc 1.

 

[Johann von Marck]

Disc 1:

Invaders
Flash of the blade
Be quick or be dead
The prisoner
The Clairavoyant
Where eagles dare
Die with your boots on
The wicker man
Back in the village

 

[Swan]

Infinite Dreams
SSOASS
Mother Russia
NPFTD
Long Distance Runner

I getcha.

I would like to hear:

Hanging Judge - Armored Saint
Back in the Village -Iron Maiden (special acoustic version)
Hordes of Chaos - Kreator (with video of band members engaged in medieval combat vs. undead in a castle)
Princess of the Night - Saxon
I want out - Helloween
Lone Justice - Anthrax

Electric Crown - Testament
Into the Lungs of Hell / Set the World Afire - Megadeth
Die With A Beer In Your Hand - Tankard

[Johann von Marck]

It would be awesome. You could do a double sided CD ( I think you can, since they do DVD's), and a music video DVD. The videos would all be shot like 1980's style and in the theme of each song. Where Eagles Dare, shoot it like the Clint Eastwood movie, that one I can make happen, I have access to all that stuff. Viking type action for Invaders, etc. It would be epic to say the least.

 

[raider187]

One more for ya: "Total Eclipse" would be killer.

 

[Metallicat180]

Ooooh how exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of my picks would be...

Infinite Dreams
Rime Of The Ancient Mariner (maybe too long and would reduce the tracklisting dramatically)
Purgatory
Man On The Edge (love this one, even tho you girls have not done it yet, I thought I would still mention it)
Flash Of The Blade
Deja Vu
Alexander The Great
Rainmaker
Prowler
Back In The Village
Caught Somewhere In Time

That'll do for now.

 

[Doodoobubbachuck]

Wow Metallicat! That's quite a list!! Two thumbs up!

 

[Metallicat180]

Wow Metallicat! That's quite a list!! Two thumbs up!

Why thank you!! I would pick them all!! It will be great to hear you recording any songs.

 

[Kirsten "Bruce Chickinson"]

Got some good picks, folks. Some of them match my own preferences. Especially the ABBA song. Keep 'em coming!

 

[raider187]

So far from me, I'll add "Sun and Steel", along with the songs I mentioned earlier ("Where Eagles Dare" and "Total Eclipse").

 

[Metallicat180]

Got some good picks, folks. Some of them match my own preferences. Especially the ABBA song. Keep 'em coming!

If it's good enough for Helloween...

And Yngwie...

 

[Kirsten "Bruce Chickinson"]

Ha! I did not know. Daaayam. :Smokin:

 

[Traxan]

Liv Moon also covered that ABBA song.



On the topic of Maiden covers: don't forget "Invaders" either. Perfect song to set to clips from "Vikings." Assuming you don't violate copyright laws.
