Up the Irons!

I've seen them live 4 times including once at the legendary MSG in NYC.

[mariner4life]

@Bovidae You win the Fern for today

[Bovidae]

@mariner4life That particular concert was a triple bill featuring 2 other bands who unfortunately no longer exist due to the deaths of their singers/leaders - Motorhead and Dio.

[antipodean]

[mariner4life]

@Bovidae pretty sweet show. How was Dio live?

Live After Death is probably my favourite live album ever (scream for me Long Beach!) but i think Maiden are one of the few big acts I've wanted to see live that i never have.

While it's not my favourite IM album, I've been flogging Somewhere In Time all weekend. This is a fucking great song

[Bovidae]

@mariner4life RJD had one of the best voices in rock/metal. He sounded the same live as on the albums. I checked my ticket stub and I paid US$52.50 for that gig.

Nice choice for Wasted Years. That is in my top 3 Maiden songs with Hallowed Be Thy Name and Still Life.

[mariner4life]

@Bovidae Powerslave, The Phantom of the Opera, Wasted Years

[MN5]

Maiden are fucken good. Steve Harris is a bass favourite of mine but the rest of the band are exceptional too. I liked Paul D'ianno and think he did some great work but in a Chuck Mosely/Mike Patton like move they replaced someone good with someone even better. They would be fucken great to see live.

[mariner4life]

@MN5 that's what makes them, they are exceptional musicians, and in Bruce had a great showman with a towering voice. Talented bunch of lads off the stage as well.

[jegga]

@Bovidae wasted years , the trooper, run to the hills. Damn that sounds like an incredible gig you went to.

[MN5]

Dio was a talent. Up there with the best rock vocalists ever in my opinion.

Would be interesting to see a flowchart between Deep Purple/Black Sabbath/Rainbow and Whitesnake to see how much 'inbreeding' went on between those bands.

Hats off to Zep ( better than any of those mentioned overall ) once Bonzo died they called it a day and stayed the same from beginning to end.

[Bovidae]

Must be time for a Dio video.

This has been transferred from video so the quality isn't great. Their signature song:

RIP Greg Lake.

[Bovidae]

@Tim I listened to ELP on the day Lake died. They're dying in order this year as Keith Emerson died in March under more tragic circumstances. I hope Carl Palmer is in good health.

I know that Grohl and co really divide opinion here, but this little ditty come up whilst I was out for a gentle jog the other day - fantastic tune.

[NTA]

@MajorRage Agree. Very well structured tune, plenty of feels and a heap of punch.
