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.
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....
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.
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...
Things I wanna see on the Maidens Tribute Album: Killers Rime Powerslave Hallowed 2 minutes Trooper Somewhere in Time Wickerman Phantom of the Opera My pictures of the band ;-) 7th Son Flight of Icarus The Evil that Women Do ;-) Aces High Neighbor of the Beast The list goes on and on
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
Must have The Trooper Aces High Number of the beast run to the hills :hotjump: what about Bruce Dickinsons solo stuff????
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.
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"
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.
