I've listened to a ton of Book of Souls so I remember this one: Shadows in the Valley.

I don't know your other question though so I'll just leave that one there (I also can't think of anything to ask sorry)

\m/ Nice, Kardas! That's it!

[Chaosego888]

Alright, let's try this one...

Which song mentions Lamia as someone prayed to by a man that's been overtaken by the devil?

Prodigal Son.

Name a very underated song that speaks of man having to start over in a post-apocalyptic society

[Witkacy]

Prodigal Son.

The Aftermath, I guess...

[Chaosego888]

The Aftermath, I guess...Nope, Barely listen to the Blaze albums at all. A good bit older

[Mariner-1212]

Nope, Barely listen to the Blaze albums at all. A good bit older

My initial thought was Stranger in a Strange Land... and I looked at the older album songs, and that's pretty much my only guess.

Nice one on the Prodigal Son answer, Chaosego!

[Chaosego888]

Nice one on the Prodigal Son answer, Chaosego!
A few years older...

[Witkacy]

A few years older...

OK, take #2 :)

To Tame A Land...

[wipp]

are you speaking of number of the beast?

[Witkacy]

Problem is that MANY Maiden songs can be tagged as ''Post Apocaplyptic Theme'' ie. every songs about war...

[Chaosego888]

are you speaking of number of the beast?

It is on some versions of that album

[Chaosego888]

Problem is that MANY Maiden songs can be tagged as ''Post Apocaplyptic Theme'' ie. every songs about war...
That is true, and this one is a lot less clear until you really think about it

[wipp]

nice then i think i know it. is it the prisoner?

[Chaosego888]

nice then i think i know it. is it the prisoner?
Nope. It wasn't on the original pressing because of some misunderstanding whether to make this track or Gangland a b-side. It was added to the album later when it was released on CD

[kkkreg5]

This hint gave it away for me... Total Eclipse.

I'll go band... who was the drummer pictured on The Soundhouse Tapes sleeve?

[Crazypants]

You just took it up a few notches. Ive got all these so far playing armchair jeopardy. I own a counterfeit LP of the Soundhouse. Thought for sure I knew this. Checked b4 i posted and I was wrong. Well played.

[Chaosego888]

Doug Sampson? or is that the counterfeit version. I don't own this but I have it on my computer

[kkkreg5]

Doug Sampson? or is that the counterfeit version. I don't own this but I have it on my computer

Ding, ding, ding...

My counterfeit has Doug Sampson on it... so you are correct. Pants as well is my guess...

How about this one...

Who is the "Sheriff Of Huddersfield"?

[Chaosego888]

Rod Smallwood

I'm going to know this after... give...

[Sag7272]

Rod Smallwood

What song mentions the Angel of Pain?

Mother of mercy, angel of death, desire.
Mother of mercy taking my last breath, the fire.
Mother of mercy, angel of pain...

I'd say... Mother of mercy :)

[Mariner-1212]

Q: Which Maiden song(s) is written from the point of view of the devil?

[Kardas]

There are two I can think of: Moonchild, and Lord of Light.

Is that correct? If so, I've got a question ready.

[Chaosego888]

There are two I can think of: Moonchild, and Lord of Light.

Is that correct? If so, I've got a question ready.
I always thought Lord of Light was addressing secret society's that protect arcane knowledge?

[kkkreg5]

There are two I can think of: Moonchild, and Lord of Light.

Is that correct? If so, I've got a question ready.

Agree with Kardas on Moonchild. The Fallen Angel off of BNW is my second.

Apologies, wrong quote. Songs from the devil's POV...

[Chaosego888]

There are two I can think of: Moonchild, and Lord of Light.

Is that correct? If so, I've got a question ready.I went back and read it again. You may be right, I think I was trying to dissect it, as metaphorical in the past. Go ahead with your question. Still waiting for a question from Sag also.

[Mariner-1212]

There are two I can think of: Moonchild, and Lord of Light.

Is that correct? If so, I've got a question ready.

Yes, Moonchild is what I was looking for! Nice job, Kardas \m/

[Kardas]

Alright, here's one: what is the only song for which Nicko McBrain has a songwriting credit?

[kkkreg5]

Alright, here's one: what is the only song for which Nicko McBrain has a songwriting credit?

Including singles?

[Mariner-1212]

I definitely don't know, are we allowed to look in the old album sleeves? I didn't think he wrote any!

[Chaosego888]

I had to look it up so I will let someone else answer

[Tridimensionale]

I had to look it up so I will let someone else answer

LoL.. same here.. thats a tough one !

[Kardas]

I was intending just album tracks but if you want to baffle me by giving an answer off a single go right ahead.

Evidently I spend way too much time reading Maiden's Wikipedia pages in my free time...

I knew these (single b'sides):
Pass The Jam
More Tea Vicar
I was pretty sure on this one - The Sheriff Of Huddersfield

I did not know this one:
New Frontier

[Kardas]

Well it's always good news if you stump the one who asked the question :P
Well done!

[Sag7272]

...Still waiting for a question from Sag also.
So here's one... From who (Bonus for in which occasion) is quoted song's name " The evil that man do"... Kind of an indirect question ;)

[RCarter]

Can anyone name the band that is playing at the Metal Club found in the Somewhere in Time artwork... You may need the Vinyl handy for this one.

[kkkreg5]

Since no one else answered... Live After Death plus Blade Runner

[Chaosego888]

Since no one else answered... Live After Death plus Blade RunnerThat's the movie theater

[kkkreg5]

That's the movie theater

Crap!

Definitely have to look at the vinyl sleeve. The band is Gypsy's Kiss.

Which member was in that band?

[DaveMurray]

Crap!

Which member was in that band?

I know that, it was Steve.

An easy one, which member of the band joined Bruce in his solo break from Maiden?

[kkkreg5]

I know that, it was Steve.

An easy one, which member of the band joined Bruce in his solo break from Maiden?

Adrian Smith.

[Mariner-1212]

Ahh, this one I know, it was Janick! Might still have my Tattooed Millionaire and Balls To Picasso CDs around somewhere in storage (too scratched to play, I'm sure).

Which pre-1995 studio album (not live album) was the only one to have a title that didn't appear in a song title? And, which song does the album title make its appearance in?

[Mariner-1212]

Adrian Smith.

Smith? I thought it was Janick? uh oh, gotta look it up now.

[Mariner-1212]

Adrian Smith.

Ahh yes, looked it up, Janick was with him for his earliest solo work. But Adrian Smith joined him for his Accident of Birth album... Welcome home, it's been too long, we've missed you... \m/

[Ringe666-7406]

Piece of mind? No song of that title exists, but in Wrathchild it says "now I gotta find serious piece of mind...".

[Mariner-1212]

Piece of mind? No song of that title exists, but in Wrathchild it says "now I gotta find serious piece of mind...".

Album: yes...

but the song it's mentioned in is a song on the album

[Ringe666-7406]

Album: yes...

but the song it's mentioned in is a song on the album

If you think about Still life, isn't it "peace of mind" there? :p

[Askora]

Wrathchild

What song mentions a pickup truck?

Ringe666 gets a question as well. :D Team effort!

[Ringe666-7406]

Running free :D Ok, what's engraved on Eddie's tombstone on Live after Death cover? Hint: quotation of Cthulhu creator

And for the upper one: who did West Ham United play on Somewhere in time cover + what was the result?

[kkkreg5]

Wait... wait...

I want clarification on the member to join Bruce's solo band. Was Janick an official member of Maiden for Tattooed Millionaire? I don't remember the timeline. That was 1990...

[Mariner-1212]

Running free :D Ok, what's engraved on Eddie's tombstone on Live after Death cover? Hint: quotation of Cthulhu creator

West Ham 7, Arsenal 3

[kkkreg5]

"Stranger eons even death may die".

[Mariner-1212]

If you think about Still life, isn't it "peace of mind" there? :p

Still Life is what I was going for, and I've got the album sleeve open right here - it is peace of mind. You are right on both fronts!

[Ringe666-7406]

Still Life is what I was going for, and I've got the album sleeve open right here - it is peace of mind. You are right on both fronts!

So are you with Arsenal :D But kkkreg is a bit rusty, he missed one part. Than again, as Gimley once said, still counts as one ;)

Name the 3 songs that make up the Charlotte Saga

[Mariner-1212]

Wait... wait...

I want clarification on the member to join Bruce's solo band. Was Janick an official member of Maiden for Tattooed Millionaire? I don't remember the timeline. That was 1990...

According to Wikipedia, Janick was asked to join Maiden to record the song Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter (which was recorded for the Nightmare on Elm Street 5 soundtrack, the primary reason I bought that soundtrack!) which then later was turned into the full No Prayer album. At the same time, he joined Bruce for the Tattooed Millionaire album. That was in 1990.

Given that Nightmare 5 was released in 1989, Janick would have been officially with Iron Maiden prior to 1990 for that single.

\m/

[Mariner-1212]

Janick played on Tattooed Millionaire

Adrian played on Accident of Birth and The Chemical Wedding

The Chemical Wedding is a great album

[Chaosego888]

Charlotte the Harlot, 22 Acacia Avenue, and if I'm not mistaken, but something tells me I am, Murder in the Rue Morgue
The 3rd came later on

[Chaosego888]

Charlotte the Harlot, 22 Acacia Avenue, and From Here to Eternity.

Yes. Some say Hooks in you was a 4th but it isn't

Thanks Mariner! That's the only thing I wasn't sure of was the timeline.

[kkkreg5]

Which two eddie representations are frozen into one on the seventh son album artwork?

I'm going to say debut and Killers.

[Chaosego888]

Which two eddie representations are frozen into one on the seventh son album artwork?
Wow! That one is a lot tougher than I expected. I stared at the back of the record for 15 minutes and looked at all the singles and vhs covers that came before... still not certain.

[Mariner-1212]

I'm going to say debut and Killers.

That's right! Nice work, Rene. You're up for a question \m/

[kkkreg5]

Name the only studio recorded track that did not have Paul, Bruce or Blaze as the lead vocalist? The track was not an instrumental or a spoof of another.

[Witkacy]

Name the only studio recorded track that did not have Paul, Bruce or Blaze as the lead vocalist? The track was not an instrumental or a spoof of another.

It has to be Reach Out with Mr. Smith then ;)

[Mariner-1212]

Was the lead vocalist a band member?

[Mariner-1212]

Damn, Witkacy! That was some fast responding!

[kkkreg5]

Witkacy, correct!!

You're up next...

[Witkacy]

Okies, then :)

Who wrote the song called ''Sanctuary'' (for real?)

[Chaosego888]

Okies, then :)

Who wrote the song called ''Sanctuary'' (for real?)
Rob Angelo. They should have let him take it with him

What band was Adrian Smith in before he joined Maiden?

[Witkacy]

Rob Angelo. They should have let him take it with him

What band was Adrian Smith in before he joined Maiden?

Thats right!

A: Urchin :)

[Chaosego888]

Thats right!

Correct. Next

[Witkacy]

Correct. Next

Maiden recorded officially a lot of covers, but it happened that one band they covered twice... The name?

[Mariner-1212]

Is Bruce a spiritualist, or an unbeliever?

[Chaosego888]

Is Bruce a spiritualist, or an unbeliever?

Pretty sure there all pretty spiritual

[Chaosego888]

Maiden recorded officially a lot of covers, but it happened that one band they covered twice... The name?

That would be Montrose

[Ringe666-7406]

Pretty sure there all pretty spiritual

I even think that Nicko is a dedicated Christian. While at it, check this out :D http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Iron_Maiden

[Mariner-1212]

Pretty sure there all pretty spiritual

Maybe, but wouldn't you like to know the truth
of what's out there, to have the proof?

[Witkacy]

That would be Montrose

Yup, shoot another one!

[Mariner-1212]

Maybe, but wouldn't you like to know the truth
of what's out there, to have the proof?

To find out just which side you're on? Where would you end, in Heaven, or in Hell?

[Chaosego888]

Maybe, but wouldn't you like to know the truth
of what's out there, to have the proof?
Well, I'm pretty sure I know, don't know exactly what they believe, just judging based on what they talk about. The way I see it the truth we seek is all around us but can only be found by looking within. I am by no means Christian or follow any kind of organized religion, I think the Buddhists are closer than any other though.

[Chaosego888]

To find out just which side you're on? Where would you end, in Heaven, or in Hell?
I think we accomplish all of that here

[Chaosego888]

Back to the trivia

In which piece of art is Eddie represented as a ghost?

[Mariner-1212]

I think we accomplish all of that here

Chaosego888, I love your actual replies. I was trying to hint at it from the song lyrics. You gave me actual answers, which are probably much more accurate than the song lyric which I based the question on!

In a song with those aforementioned lyrics, the answer to my mediocre question can be found :)

But I'll give you full credit for giving true answers!

[Chaosego888]

I even think that Nicko is a dedicated Christian. While at it, check this out :D http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Iron_Maiden

I guess I can't ask a question based on that. I can hear the song you are talking about in my head...

[Mariner-1212]

I guess I can't ask a question based on that. I can hear the song you are talking about in my head...

No your question is still good... If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's with Eddie in the room with the girl looking in the mirror, but I can't think of what song that applied to.

[Chaosego888]

No your question is still good... If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's with Eddie in the room with the girl looking in the mirror, but I can't think of what song that applied to.
Yeah, you're right about the artwork

[kkkreg5]

No your question is still good... If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's with Eddie in the room with the girl looking in the mirror, but I can't think of what song that applied to.

Whoa... I missed a lot while I was out to lunch! One thing I know for sure... stay away from politics and religion.

Twilight Zone is the song.

[Chaosego888]

Whoa... I missed a lot while I was out to lunch! One thing I know for sure... stay away from politics and religion.

Twilight Zone is the song.

You're right on both, I typically live by the same approach, just misunderstood Mariner's question.

Your turn

[kkkreg5]

Sorry, had to get some work done!

Which album was the first to feature an artist other than Derek Riggs and who was the artist?

[Crazypants]

Fear of the dark, right?

[kkkreg5]

Fear of the dark, right?

Yes... do you know the artist?

[Crazypants]

Yes... do you know the artist?

I own the original on vinyl and probably read that name a million times but sorry to say this old brain cant remember. :(

[Mariner-1212]

That would be Melvyn Grant! On the album where they decided to insult the shit out of Derek Riggs. Would love to see what Riggs had come up with back then for the FOTD album.

Also, the answer to yesterday's question regarding Bruce's "faith" was from the song Infinite Dreams... "You tell me 'you're an unbeliever! Spiritualist, well me I'm neither..."

Onto the next one:

The Flight Of Icarus tells the story of him flying too close to the sun... but there's another theory. According to album artwork, how does Icarus really fall?

[kkkreg5]

Melvyn Grant is correct.

Eddie shoots Icarus down.

[kkkreg5]

Old brain? I gotta think we're close in age...

[Mariner-1212]

Eddie shoots Icarus down.

You're damn right he does! And I'm looking forward to getting an Icarus Killer Eddie, complete with black AoF Wings and Pyro Soldier's flamethrower on a modified RTTH Eddie. You know, if that ever happens.

Alright your turn for the Q.

[kkkreg5]

Prior to 1999, what was the only album/singles cover not to feature Eddie?

Icarus Eddie would be cool!

[Mariner-1212]

Prior to 1999, what was the only album/singles cover not to feature Eddie?

Women in Uniform?

[BadTaste]

Prior to 1999, what was the only album/singles cover not to feature Eddie?

Maxi single Running Free from Live After Death

[kkkreg5]

Maxi single Running Free from Live After Death

You're absolutely correct BT!

Eddie had a girl on each arm for the Women In Uniform cover.

[BadTaste]

Prior to 1999, what was the only album/singles cover not to feature Eddie?

You also have their first single release, The Soundhouse Tapes :cool:

[Mariner-1212]

BT nice answers all around!

Got a question you can toss out here for us?

[BadTaste]

Hmm, okay, name the only Maiden song that is 100% acoustic.

Would love to see what Riggs had come up with back then for the FOTD albunm

Hopefully this works. No idea how to post an image saved from my mobile so had to try and find it on t'internet and link it.

Was it correct? I can't think of another track that is acoustic without any electric guitars...

What is the name of the first Iron Maiden video game? (maybe not first, but it was a 1999 release)

[90mphyorker]

Melt was the first Iron Maiden video game, though it got cancelled as in Blaze's words 'It was crap!'

Ed Hunter was the 1999 release. So technically the first Iron Maiden game as well as it was actually released.

Correct answer! :)

Got another one: Earlier this decade several artists made a tribute to an album made by another great British heavy metal band. The album was re recorded and each artist contributed by covering a song from the original album. Maiden also did a cover version of a song that was recorded on this tribute album. Name the song. Also, name the title of the tribute album and the band that originally recorded the album that this was a tribute to.

Do you have a question 90mphyorker?

[kkkreg5]

Yeah, That's the only one I can think of ... also the only album track that Nicko McBrain got writing credit.

Double checked the liner notes for Dance Of Death. Nicko got a writing credit for New Frontier.

Ouch! That is one ugly painting. Of course, you have to wonder how much of that was his brainchild and how much was just some marketing jackass with a bad idea that he was supposed to make happen. I'm in marketing and I'm asked to design bad ideas all the time.

[Mariner-1212]

It's a holiday weekend here in the states, so I'll toss out a question as a lot of people might not be around.

It's a holiday weekend here in the states, so I'll toss out a question as a lot of people might not be around.

Q: In the 1983 Christmas Card, Eddie is holding a cleaver, about to cut up... who?

Is it Rudolph?

I think I saw that one on Derek Riggs' site a long time ago. Wasn't it Snow White?

[90mphyorker]

Ed Hunter was what I was looking for.

Do you have a question 90mphyorker?

Which British supergroup had 3 Iron Maiden members in it's line up.

Members could be past, present or future members.

[Mariner-1212]

It is Snow White! It can be found inside the Piece Of Mind sleeve, good call Kardas!

Next question... who's going to have Coalgiver Eddie by the end of the weekend if it's the last thing I do?? :D

But seriously, your turn for a question, Kardas \m/

[Chaosego888]

Double checked the liner notes for Dance Of Death. Nicko got a writing credit for New Frontier.
Wow! I thought that was what I read on wikipedia. Sorry for the false information.

Is it Gogmagog?

[90mphyorker]

Is it Gogmagog?

Correct. .

[kkkreg5]

Who was the producer for the albums Killers through Fear Of The Dark?

[90mphyorker]

Martin Birch.

Which video does he appear in?

[Kardas]

But seriously, your turn for a question, Kardas \m/

Lemme see if this one is a bit easier...
Iron Maiden got their first ever Grammy Award (for the Best Metal Performance category) for which song?

I'm seriously enjoying this thread BTW, even if I'm asleep when most of the responses come in

I'm going to guess Wasted Years. I don't know at all... I just remember that one charted pretty highly.

I thought it was Bill Gates that Eddie was about to cut up. The full image has Eddie on the right of the table starting to stand up with the Christmas Pudding in front of him and Bill Gates on the left of the table staring at the 'camera'.

Is it Wildest Dreams?

[Kardas]

You're actually kind of close. You are correct in that it was a single.

I think it was El Dorado

[Kardas]

I think it was El Dorado

Correct! They've had a few Grammy nominations before, but El Dorado has been their only win so far

[kkkreg5]

Awesome Chaos!!

What you got next?

[Chaosego888]

Correct! They've had a few Grammy nominations before, but El Dorado has been their only win so far
Yeah, They should have got one for The Wickerman, wasn't completely sure they didn't get one for something off of Dance of Death or A Matter of Life and Death. It's too bad that such a great band has to write a bad song to get a grammy... At least it wasn't for Holy Smoke. Let me think of a new question... Be back in a few minutes

[Chaosego888]

Four songs were recorded for the Soundhouse Tapes. One song was omitted because the band was disappointed with the production. What was the name of this track?

That would be Strange World. It was later released on the Best Of The Beast 2 disc version. I found that CD set at a used CD shop for $14!

[Chaosego888]

Correct. That's the Japanese version, right? I only have the one disc version, Got to find the other version now.

[kkkreg5]

As far as I know, limited edition.

There are two different versions of Maiden Japan. What's the difference between the two?

Let me rephrase, there are two different track listings...

There is the original, a version called Heavy Metal Army, a version that has 17 tracks supposedly released to Japanese fans through the fan club, never been able to find proof of that though. I have seen a version with the titles in Spanish also. Is there another?

[Chaosego888]

I have a download of the whole show but never have been able to find a real copy

There are two official releases according to the 1995 Castle Re-issues:
1. UK Version has four tracks; Running Free, Remember Tomorrow, Killers and Innocent Exile
2. US Version has five tracks; Running Free, Remember Tomorrow, Wrathchild, Killers and Innocent Exile.

I've heard there is a "full length" version but have never seen it.

As far as I can remember it was supposed to have been released in 2000 on CD only. I guess I need to research this some more. I just looked at my vinyl and the version I have is the US version and it is numbered, never knew the UK version didn't include Wrathchild.

[kkkreg5]

Looks like we derailed this thread Chaos.

Any one have a trivia question?

kkkreg :)

Actually I have this one on CD (digipack issue) 17 tracks in total... It says on the sleeve: ''Promotional Copy For Japanese Fans Only''

Have the vinyl as well, yet can't remember it's origin right now...

Cheers,

Man... why does Japan get all the good stuff?!

Sound like a collector's piece. I'll have to look for that.

[Chaosego888]

Thanks Witkacy... So it is a promo, not a Fanclub version... Anyone have a new question?

[Kardas]

I'll do my best... however, after 16 pages, the trivia questions can start to get thin...
Not sure if this one has been asked already, but on the Somewhere In Time art, there are (at least) two references to pop-culture inbetween all the Maiden references! Just one pop-culture reference is good enough as an answer BTW

Batman on one of the roofs of buildings.

[Kardas]

hahaa, I actually forgot about the Blade Runner one! Well done to both of you
(there's still one more though ;) )

I always thought that was the Phantom of the Opera...

I think you are right. I sent you a PM that might help you with that Permadeath mission

Alright Troopers, here we go:

Before Iron Maiden adopted "Churchill's Speech" for their shows, where was it ORIGINALLY given, and during what war?

[Kardas]

How specific do we need to be with where it was originally given?

(also, the other pop-culture thing on the Somewhere in Time art is the TARDIS from Doctor Who. But well done nonetheless!)

WW II. I don't know where the speech was given though...

[Mariner-1212]

Good job, Rene, it was given to the House Of Commons in the UK - and was the second of 3 speeches given in that series.
