[jus_the_facts]

4. Flight of Icarus.....

As the sun breaks above the ground
An old man stands on the hill
As the ground warms to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still

His eyes are ablaze
See the madman in his gaze

Fly on your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your wings like an eagle
Fly and touch the sun

Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Look the old man in his eyes
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I fly

His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings burn to ashes to ashes his grave

Fly on your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your wings like an eagle
Fly and touch the sun

[Fenris]

5. Best Maiden video.

Why? Because at the end, they turn up a dial in the studio labeled "EDDIE." :D

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

6. SOmetimes a track needs more Eddie for that extra push over the cliff

[Fenris]

7. It's right before Bruce hits the long, high note.

Eddie gives him the power to do so.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

8. Eddie comes up throught the monitor, into Bruce's boot, through the tube

socks pulled ove the spandex and courses through the tattooed millionare's soul!!!

[jus_the_facts]

9. Muahahahaha....

:hi:

[underpants]

10. I'm a cowboy... on a steel horse I ride......

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

12. you want to be the 1st on my ignore list, don't you!?!?!?!

:mad:

[underpants]

16. NO

Sorry I couldn't resist.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

18. Plus you placed an evil worm in my ear

[underpants]

20. Ha

KHAN!!!

A buddy of mine was racing in a 24 hour mountain bike race a few years back. We went along and drank beer (greatest sporting spectacle I have ever seen).

After one of his runs he came over to our camp and said "You won't believe what song I had in my head the whole damned lap" (about an hour plus ride)

THAT ONE

Though we were no fans of Bon Jovi (great politics) in the 80's we all knew the song by heart.

[Initech]

11. Wrong! The award for the best Iron Maiden song ever goes to...

Hallowed Be Thy Name!! :evilgrin:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

13. I didn't say Maiden tune because that would be Number of the Beast

:P

[Initech]

14. 666! The number of the beast! 666! The one for you and me!

:evilgrin:

[no name no slogan]

22. 665! The neighbor of the Beast! 665! He lives across the street

Used to do a parody of that in a band in college.

[asthmaticeog]

24. Agreed 100%. That song kicks the ass.

[alarcojon]

30. Is that the one where Bruce goes running lowwwwwww

for like 40 seconds?

And I MUST cast a ballot for Orion. Long live Cliff Burton!

[BigMcLargehuge]

15. The Lonliness of the Long Distance Runner

followed by Hallowed Be Thy Name, The Number of the Beast, and Alexander the Great.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

17. I'm a Powerslave kind of guy. So I always rank rhyme of the ancient marine

r in there

[jandrok]

19. "Iron Man"

Brings 'em to their knees every time.

I could also make a case for:

Priest's "Livin' After Midnight"

Lizzy's "The Boys Are Back In Town"

Metallica's "Master of Puppets"

Slayer's "War Ensemble"

But I DO love that old school Maiden, Brother.

[WeRQ4U]

21. I really liked "For Whom The Bells Tolls" from Ride the Lightning

And "Master of Puppets" from the album of the same name. But I am hardly well listened to as far as this genre goes.

[The Donkey]

23. If you ask me,

The best Maiden song EVER is . . . .



THE TROOPER!!!!

[RetroLounge]

25. Sorry, REAL maiden is before that poseur Bruce joined!

Murders in the Rue Morgue!

Now THAT is a metal song...

RL

[Maestro]

26. O C'mon Bruce isn't so bad.

I love Dickinson era Maiden. Powerslave was and is an awesome album for example!

[Initech]

29. If Blaze or Paul were still in the band during last month's Ozzfest fiasco

We'd be seeing VERY different headlines, I can guarantee that!

[Zomby Woof]

27. Fall From Grace

Morbid Angel's finest moment from their finest album, the pinnacle of death metal - "Blessed Are The Sick".

I love Maiden though... hard to go wrong with any of the early 80's Dickinson-era offerings.

[RandomKoolzip]

28. You mean "Urn Madden?"

BTW, I just saw your mom talking to a cop; something about "The Sack of Death....?"

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

31. The sack of death is in the spit locker
