I'm a huge Maiden nerd so I wanted to conjure all of the fellow Maiden dudes to talk Maiden, concerts, anything! Who's out there? My all time favorite band, none come close!

Quoted from Hougie:I'll die with my boots on, sir.
That's right. Cause if you're gonna die, you're gonna die.
Quoted from Gryszzz:That's right. Cause if you're gonna die, you're gonna die.
How was the show, Gryszzz?
UP THE IRONS!!!
Here's a pic from the show in St. Paul last Friday during Number of the Beast.
Eddie this year looks awsome, he dances and moves like a real person.
He cut Janice Gears throat then Bruce ripped Eddies heart out it, was glowing red. He squirted its blood on the audience then threw it into the crowd.
The stage looked to be only 5 feet tall! Sweet if you're up front! Last time I saw them I was in the front for the can I play with madness tour a few years ago in Winnipeg and the stage was 8 feet high.

The stage show is out of control cool - they have different backdrops for each song and the inflatable Eddie and the beast, plus the stagehand who comes out dressed as 8 foot tall Eddie during book of souls, I think(?)
They forgot to fill the blood at our show, or it was stuck so Bruce had to wrestle with it a bit
At 5 o'clock, they take me to the gallows pole
The sands of time, for me, are running low
Love Iron Maiden. Hopefully the pin is within the year.
I grew up listening to Maiden and dig everything up to Somewhere In Time. After that, just kinda lost interest and enjoyed thrash metal much more. If they made a pin, it would have to have nothing but older tunes for me, hopefully pinball browser can make that happen if the day ever comes.
Absolutely epic and beautifully melodic masterpiece of an album, go to that solo and you'll be blown away! Bruce's vocals sounded so badass here
Powerslave was the "guess the riff" on Into The Trivia Pit today. The dude guessed "run to the hills". WTF?!?

HAH
Quoted from pinkid:All running horse bass lines do sound the same.................
Haha... it was the opening riff though! Not the Maiden gallop
What is your all's favorite album? I couldn't choose one but if I HAD to, probably the 1986 classic Somewhere in Time
Quoted from Pinball-DOOD:» YouTube video Anyone ever got to see them on the "Somewhere on Tour" shows in 86??
I saw them on that tour in charlotte.
Nothing like a bit of Maiden
I'd still prefer to see a Black Sabbath pin while the band members are alive, though.

I also saw the Somewhere in Time Tour in Madison, WI in 87'...just an awesome show. I saw them 3 years ago at Summerfest in Milwaukee and it seems like this band does not age at all. Eddie sure does not age...LOL
I enjoy guitar oriented music from pretty much any genre, but lean heavily towards hard rock/metal and outlaw/southern. Hard to pick a favorite band, but if I had to it would be Maiden. Great memories from my youth and continue to dig everything they put out. Love it that they are still carrying the torch, even if their sound has changed a bit. Also love Bruce's solo stuff with Roy Z which is incredible.
An Iron Maiden pinball would be an insta-buy for me, which is super concerning as Stern's bang-for-the-buck is in the crapper.

That would easily be my favorite. It also came out at a very influential time for me as a kid. Next would have to be Powerslave. The others follow at a distance to those two.
Wow great pictures! I wish the stage was that low when I was in the front a few years ago for the can I play with madness reboot tour in Winnipeg! The stage then was like 8 feet friggin tall!
Lucky!
I love iron maiden of course. I saw somewhere in time and powerslave tour in Detroit in the 80s.
They are amazing. I like powerslave as thier best album. My choice. So many good ones.
A pin is needed.
Just think of the artwork potential. So goddamn awesome.
Bruce Dickinson was a DJ on BBC Radio for a few years. His skills have been finessed immensely, with a lot of interaction with great talent. Such a great artist. I love the heavy metal singers who can wail like a banshee It makes you feel fucking alive.
Quoted from flamehead:Greatest live acr of all time here's some pics I took in Nashville on the 13th. Member of the fan club and won FTTB
Brutal, awesome photos, dude

Lucky! I saw them in 2012 and it was unreal good!

Amen, brother!
Love the band and great live shows. Always a favorite. However, Not a fan of the past few albums or the last one which bores me to death. Wish they would player longer than 15 songs and 1 1/2 hr show. Still hope the pin gets made.

I felt the same until Book of Souls - I am really enjoying that album. Might be worth another listen
My favorite maiden album is Killers though! Very different band, nicko hadn't joined yet, nor Bruce. I think it's because that was one of the first ones I really paid attention to, instead of just staring at the cover. I got Live After Death at the LIBRARY (you read that right) and just loved the cover, then it was the s/t album, killers, powerslave, etc. I think powerslave is one of my least favourite albums now, because I wore it out!
My son bought a Powerslave LP with his own money last year, also for the cover , lol
Well I did have a large 4x6' black IM silk hanging in my bedroom for a couple years as a kid. Pretty sure I tossed it for some reason???
The banner likely bothered a girlfriend or something silly like that.
Have seen a bunch of their concerts on video tape but they are one band I never saw live.
Has that cool eddie jet touched down in Buffalo much?
Saw them 3 weeks ago in Dallas. Ghost(the opening band) was interesting. They sounded great but with a 1 1/2 hour set wish they would have played their classics instead of all of their new album.
