Band: IRON MAIDEN, Album: IRON MAIDEN, Song: TRANSYLVANIA

What the f***in' hell was that!!!!!????....the intro hit like a thousand freakin' bullet trains colliding between my ears!!...no time to recover...the melody kicks in like four ancient mythical beasts awakening from their slumber of aeons...each weilding its weapon of mass destruction....hellbound to bitch slap mankind out of this world and into  the realms of Iron F***in' Maiden!!!!!!!!!....still hungry for the blood of unbelievers,posers and listeners of crap music....they continue their onslaught with blistering leads,bass runs and thundering drumming that summon their minions from the deepest, darkest pits of hell to forever seek and possess the souls of mankind with the spirit of Heavy Metal!!!!!!!!!!!!....and I'm one of those minions with a metal mission......HelllllYeahhh!!!!!!!!!

That was exactly how I felt when I heard this instrumental for the first time about 15 years ago.This metal masterpiece was composed by founder and bassist Steve Harris while he was with his previous band Smiler.Steve came up with the basic idea of the song while walking home from a local club called the Cart & Horses. He presented the song to his band at the time but everyone in Smiler found most of his songs too complicated, and refused to play them.

When he formed Maiden, "Transylvania" became a regularly played song during the early days. The piece would be the guitar solo spot of guitarist Dave Murray in live performances from 1980-82 as heard on the "Beast over Hammersmith" live recording from March, 1982. Another example was featured on the album "BBC Archives" recorded at The Reading Festival in August of 1982 which is of note when co-lead guitarist Adrian Smith had to play the second lead guitar solo before the finale as Murray had to replace his guitar which went dead.

Listen to this classic instrumental via the Youtube link below and you'll know what I'm talkin' about.

Band : IRON MAIDEN, Album : IRON MAIDEN, Song : RUNNING FREE

Running Free was the first single released by Maiden on the 8th of February 1980 on a 7" 45 rpm vinyl record format. Written by Harris and Di'Anno this song is the third track on this landmark album.The song is basically about a troubled 16-year-old boy who runs away on a pick up truck, ends up in an LA jail and picks up a woman from a bar later on. The song is known to be one of the band's more traditional rock numbers and is still played at Maiden gigs today with the band members individually named by the lead singer during Harris's bass-solo.

The single's cover art is famously known as the first official appearance of the band's mascot Eddie the 'ead. However, his face is obscured because the band did not want to unveil their mascot until the album's release. Several band names (Scorpions, Judas Priest, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin...) are spray painted on the wall behind the youth in the picture, which may be some of the band's influences.

Running Free is a dirty,gritty,straight forward rocker which never fails to get the crowd going when performed live.I personally love this song as a guitarist due to its simple hard rock riffs and slightly complicated double picking repetitive lead licks which also serve well as a warm up exercise for me.

A classic song that is worth a listen!! So get your ass to the Youtube link below and do what you have to!! 

Dave Murray - Guitar God In The Making

Band : IRON MAIDEN, Album : IRON MAIDEN, Song : REMEMBER TOMORROW

Greetings Fellow Metalheads!!!!.....the song to be introduced today is Remember Tomorrow which is the 2nd song in this excellent album.It's a hypnotic and genuinely introspect, mellow piece that proves the band could quiet things down to create a very strong pensive mood. Original lead vocalist Paul Di'Anno offers a great, non-traditional gritty voice that, in my opinion, is perfect for the band and this album. His voice is what originally lent Iron Maiden a street level credibility that other, higher octave bands might not have gotten around the 1980's.

Its starts out  as a slow melancholy tune with an incredible heart wrenching solo which then leads into the soothing yet strong vocals of Di'Anno. This sad tune then suddenly swells into an ass-kicking riff that knocks you off your boots with blistering guitar solos... and just as you pull the last strand of hair from your head brought about by uncontrolled over-excitement....it heads back into its original moody tune and ends with class.

Definitely one of the more underrated songs in Maiden's career.Great lyrics,great rhythm and great solos.Give it a listen on Youtube and you'll be left wanting for more.

Eddie has done it again!!...guess who's the nice little lady on the ground

Band : IRON MAIDEN, Album : IRON MAIDEN, Song : PROWLER

Hail and Kill!!! Fellow Metalheads!!!......Since I had already introduced the highlight of the first self titled Maiden album in my previous posting, I have decided to introduce/discuss about all the other songs in this album which are equally classics as well.....

From left:Clive Burr (Drums),Dave Murray (Lead Guitar),Dennis Stratton (Lead Guitar),Eddie (The Mascot),Paul Di'Anno (Vocals),Steve Harris (Bass)

PROWLER!!!!!!!!.......what a rush!!!!!.....this is the opening song in this awesome album.Simply an entertaining heavy metal song. It has very fast paced riffage (though it's not thrash-metal) which gives the song its spunk. The electric guitars are very good here and the guitar solo is brilliant. This marks a solid album opener and quite an excellent intro for Iron Maiden altogether. It's heavy metal but it's not pretentious or cocky, and it's enjoyable, accessible, and spirited. What else do you want?

The vocals in this album are done by a dude called Paul Di'Anno who was the vocalist for Maiden's first two albums before being replaced by a certain Mr.Bruce Dickinson who has been a major contributor to the image and sound of the Iron Maiden that we know of now.

Paul Di'Anno

Well....personally I prefer Di'Anno to Dickinson because of the raw sound and feel that he gave to the songs. This album had a certain garage vibe.... in a good way that is....these were a bunch o' guys who'd been around since 75' trying to make it work,being broke most of the time,doing day jobs and gigging at night and going back to their jobs the next day. Perseverance and dedication basically paid off when their demo cassette, famously called the “Soundhouse Tapes” made its way to the hands of a certain metal DJ named Neal Kay who very reluctantly played it and got his ass blown away by the sheer energy,charisma and musical skills brought forth by the mere 4 songs that the cassette contained. The song that we are discussing about right now went on to No.1 in his Heavy Metal Soundhouse Charts in the “Sounds” magazine....and the rest was history.............

So enough with this descriptive bullshit and lets listen to this pure,unadulterated heavy metal classic in the Youtube Videobar below!!!

MAIDEN LIVE IN SINGAPORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know its a bit late to be posting this....but I finally got to see Iron F***in' Maiden Live!!!!!!!!....I was hoping they would play "Phanthom of the Opera" but they dont do that often....hopefully I'll get to see them live again and hope they play this awesome song!!!!....its the epitome of everything that's metal....Listen to this song...you'll know what I'm talking about.

This crazy ass song is from their 1st self titled album released in 1980..but Maiden had been around, going through several line-up changes since '75..how could a bunch o' guys in their early 20's come up with such a sick song like this??!!...a really sick album as well....all the songs in this album are classics. No freakin' band around nowadays can pull off somethin' like this I tell ya!!!....only in the 70's,80's and 90's....the True Metal Years!!!

I urge everyone out there to listen to this masterpiece that will forever stand the test of time.....UP THE IRONS!!!!!!
