The General Iron Maiden ThreadMusic

[Liquid]

Like the eagle and the dove,
Fly so high on wings above,
When all you see can only bring you sadness,
Like a river we will flow,
On towards the sea we go,
When all you do can only bring you sadness,
Out on the sea of madness!

 

[Skython]

I always liked these lines from The Prophecy.

"Purgatory beckons souls lost forever
Life after death or heaven hereafter
Heard the call of the seven whistlers again
Now Lucifer laughs hell awaits"

 

[Slash]

Holy Smoke
Holy Smoke
There's plenty bad preachers for the devil to stoke
Feed 'em in feet first this is no joke
Make it thirtsy work
Makin' holy smoke!

Love is a razor, and I walk the line on that silver blade
Slept in the dust with his daughter, eyes red with the slaughter of innocence

Correction: Slept in the dust...

Now, how did I 🤬 that up? I could sing those lyrics backwards if I wanted to. Damn.

 

[Slash]

And I will pray for her
I will call her name out loud
I would bleed for her
If I could only see her now

 

[Liquid]

I find it really interesting how on one side, Maiden's songs do mention death, the devil and so on which can falsely give the impression of satanism.

But, when you listen to the songs, and appreciate the often brilliant lyrics, their songs are quite deep; they're about love, death, mortality, war, passion, loyalty, honesty, oppresion, righteousness, regret, the future, hope, triumph and tragedy.

Wonderful stuff.

Living on a razors edge, balancing on a ledge,
Living on a razors edge, I'm
Balancing on a ledge, I'm, Balancing on a ledge, I'm
Living on a razors edge, balancing on a ledge, you know, you know...

I'd love to be able to sing that song, hell I'd love to be able to sing at all.

Nothing wrong with having a go.

I can't sing for toffee, but in my own time by myself I do like singing along with whatever is pumping out of my computer.

That said, I've been known to get up on the kareoke before now...

I tried that once, The Proclaimers - 500 Miles at my sisters 18th. Needless to say the people at the party had walked 1000 Miles back to their doors.

Your word play,

I've only ever sang Spandau Ballet or The Human League. Always worth a go.

Gold! Always believe in your soul, you got the power to know, you're indestructible.

Actually, I sang 'True'.

I bought a ticket to the wooo-ooo-oooorld... but now I've come back a-gaaaain!

I haven't heard 500 miles since I was like 7 years old.

Your pic didn't work at the time of posting.

But... Y I NO SING MAYDIN? Because the karaoke machines don't have Maiden music.

Plus I am terrible at singing Maiden. Just.. awful. Vile. Repulsive. When I sing by myself, I daren't sing too loud. So in reality, I don't know how bad I am with Maiden songs but... I doubt I'm up to much!

That's why I sing the Blaze Era Songs. 💡 Mind you I don't sound that bad while singing The Trooper, Be Quick or Be Dead, Rainmaker or Different World.

 

[Liquid]

Well I've never really tried to sing a Maiden song out loud. But Bruce makes those difficult notes seem so easy.

 

[Slash]

I just sing quietly to myself while doing something like mowing the lawn or have it playing in my head.

 

[Liquid]

I challenge you to sing the 'running low' bits from Hallowed Be Thy Name.

I can keep up with the first one, but the second one is impossible. I only manage midway through it, without even attempting to scream YEAH! at the end.

I can do it with ease.

Video or it didn't happen.

Same, as for whether or not it sounds good...

................

...Well let's just say i'm not as good as Bruce...


...Not even close...

 

[Liquid]

I suppose I could do it if I controlled my breathing better.

Still, you guys say you can. Let's hear the proof! If we can't find any Maiden karaoke, we'll make our own!

 

[Slash]

I don't have a video camera that works though. I can do it, but my voice is TERRIBLE. I can do that last note in Painkiller too. Just barely.

It's probably better not to hear the proof
