What songs should we record on our TRIBUTE ALBUM

[Bruce Chickinson]

We are finally paving the way to record our first tribute album. What are the top songs that we MUST inlclude? We want everyone's input.

 

[Keyser Soze]

ooooh... ohhh

1. Children of the Damned
2. Rime of the Ancient Mariner
3. Hallowed by Thy Name (you sing it better than Bruno)
4. The Prisoner
5. Aces High
6. The Trooper
7. Run To The Hills
8. Number of the Beast

Damn I could go and on....

 

[Keyser Soze]

should be a boxed set

 

[silly_krykry]

some to add to the list:

The Prowler
The Evil That Men Do
Strange World
Bring Your Daughter...to the Slaughter (this song is so sexy for some odd reason, haha)
Flight of Icarus
The Wickerman

these are just a few of my faves that I would love to see the Iron Maidens sing.

 

[Mr Toast]

22 Acacia Avenue
The Rime (of course)
Hallowed
Some acoustic piece (Come on! We all know you want to...)

Must ponder this a bit - will post later. Really I like all the ones I've heard you do - but I'm still holding out for Alexander...

[Raistlin]

I would love to hear "Man on the Edge", "Total Eclips" and "Wasting Love"
anything different would be great.

Jen here are my suggestions

Take care,
Dave

Powerslave
Aces High
2 Minutes To Midnight
Flight Of Icarus
The Trooper
Children Of The Damned
Die With Your Boots On
Wrathchild
Sanctuary

 

[Maidens Man]

Tough question...

I seem to be alone on this one but my favorite Maiden tune is "Where Eagles Dare". So that tops the list.

Also...

2. Revelations
3. Hallowed Be Thy Name
4. Running Free
5. Prowler
6. Powerslave
7. Number of the Beast
8. 2 Minutes to Midnight
9. Rime of the Ancient Mariner
10. Trooper

 

[Massivemetal]

Wrathchild
Murder in the Rue Morgue
Die with your Boots On

 

[ROTLD]

that's a tough one...
My picks would be something off every album through Somewhere in Time:
Iron Maiden
Wrathchild
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Killers
The Number of the Beast
Hallowed Be Thy Name
Die With Your Boots On
The Trooper
Flight of Icarus
2 Mins to Midnight
Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Wasted Years

I take it you are planning on a studio recording...? It would be interesting to hear something you haven't done live yet.

 

[ESP KH602]

I didn't read the whole list of posts but here are my list (Woah incoherency):
Blood Brothers
Hallowed Be Thy Name
The Trooper
Flight Of The Icaris
The Wicker Man
Run To The Hills
Wasted Years '99

 

[alanbirdsell]

I know that you haven't done any Blaze era stuff, but with Wanda's brother being stationed in Iraq, Affraid to Shoot Strangers might be fitting.

 

[Pryml]

U know i really want a professional quality recording of that acoustic lullaby-style stuff you did for a radio station or something awhile back.

 

[Toomster]

Must have
The Trooper
Aces High
Number of the beast
run to the hills
:hotjump:
what about Bruce Dickinsons solo stuff????

 

[MiniMurray]

all excellent choices~ boxed set, hehe!

 

[SciKikMobster]

My suggestion is to poll everybody... as you are doing. Pick the Top 8 (or so), then pick like 3 really obscure songs that have never been covered on any other IM Tribute CD... maybe even songs that they never play live.

Example: Back in the Village, Invaders, etc

Then from a marketing stand point, it makes it even more of a special collectible. Not only are the songs performed by "the worlds only all female tribute...", but you can also use the tag line "featuring the never covered, rarely performed classic tracks..."

I don't know... that's just my coffee fueled suggestion for the day.

 

[Massivemetal]

Holy Crap!!!!!!!!!!!!

I forgot "Stranger in a Strange Land"!!!

I love that tune and I don't think its been played since the "Somewhere in time Tour"

 

[TLP1]

Killers (it sounded so good at Tribecca), Wrathchild, Aces High, Rime, Flight of Icarus, Hallowed, Revelations.

And I kinda like the idea of doing Back in the Village. Its such a good song and, like SciKikMobster said, its something a little different.

 

[[0hr]Sunlapse]

If you are gonna do one lesser known track it has to be "7th Son of a 7th Son"!
