Friday afternoon "bask in the awesomeness of Iron Maiden" thread

[BigMcLargehuge]

"we want information, information, information."
"who are you?"
"the new number two."
"who is number one?"
"you are number six."
"i am not a number, i am a free man."
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA."


i'm on the run, i kill to eat.
i'm starving now, i'm feeling dead on my feet.
going all the way, i'm nature's beast.
do what i want, i'll do as i please.

run, fight, to breathe, it's tough.
now you see me (haha!) now you don't.
break the walls, i'm coming out.

not a prisoner i'm a free man,
& my blood is my own now.
don't care, where the past was,
i know where i'm going...out!

if you kill me, it's self-defence,
if i kill you, then i call it vengeance.
spit in your eye, i will defy,
you'll be afraid when i call out your name.

run, fight, to breathe, it's gonna be tough.
now you see me, now you don't.
break the walls, i'm coming out.

not a prisoner, i'm a free man,
& my blood is my own now.
don't care where the past was,
i know where i'm going.

i'm not a number, i'm a free man,
live my life where i want to.
you'd better scratch me from your black book,
'cause i'll run rings around you.

not a prisoner, i'm a free man,

[ET Awful]

1. If I wanted to hear about the new Number 6, I'd watch reruns of

The Prisoner on the Sci-Fi Channel
:evilgrin:

[BigMcLargehuge]

2. I have the A&E DVD Sets

:evilgrin:

[AllegroRondo]

6. They re-run the Prisoner???

WHEN?????

[ET Awful]

10. I was being facetious, but, they did re-run it in a marathon a few

years back.

[AllegroRondo]

14. Darn, got my hopes up.

I only have a few of the episodes on DVD.

[Strong Atheist]

25. Every once in a while, depending on where you live ... nt.

[flamingyouth]

3. I love the "Flight of Icarus" video

When they're in the studio and one of the techs turns up the "Eddie" lever. :rofl:

[Fenris]

5. On the wings of an eagle...

:D

[flamingyouth]

7. Fly as high as the sky

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

:headbang:

[Fenris]

9. *killer bass riff*

:headbang:

[RandomKoolzip]

4. Isn't "Black Bart Blues" the b-side of that single?

Or am I having a Robitussin flashback?

[BigMcLargehuge]

22. it might be... I can't remember

I've long lost my vinyl collection

[Initech]

8. 666!!!

[no name no slogan]

28. 6-6-5! The Neighbor of the Beast!

6-6-5! He lives across the street!

[ET Awful]

11. He is the king of all the land

In the kingdom of the sands
In a time tomorrow

He rules the sandworms and the fremen
In a land amongst the stars
In an age tomorrow

He is destined to be a king
He rules over everything
On the land called planet Dune

Bodywater is your life
And without it you would die
On the desert the planet Dune

Without a stillsuit you would fry
On the sands so hot and dry
In a world called Arrakis

It is a land that’s rich in spice
The sandriders and the ’mice’
That they call the Muad’ Dib

He is the Kwizatz Haderach
He is born of Caladan
And will take the Gom Jabbar

He has the power to foresee
Or to look into the past
He is the ruler of the stars

The time will come for him
To lay claim his crown
And then the foe yes
They’ll be cut down
You’ll see he’ll be the
Best that there’s been
Messiah supreme
True leader of men
And when the time
For judgement’s at hand
Don’t fret he’s strong
And he’ll make a stand
Against evil the fire
That spreads through the land
He has the power
To make it all end

[BigMcLargehuge]

18. That one and Quest for Fire are cool

but the subject matter is awfully esoteric for the non-Sci-Fi/Fantasy geeks out there. How did Bruce keep a straight face singing

He is the Kwizatz Haderach
He is born of Caladan
And will take the Gom Jabbar

Without cracking up we'll never know.

[ET Awful]

20. I can tell you how in one word. . . .

Drugs.

Lots of them :P

[BigMcLargehuge]

21. or a fierce committment to getting the song done

in the face of tongue twisting absurdity. Dune, great book, so-so song.

[tigereye]

27. they actually had a Dune song?

wow.

[flamingyouth]

12. The Trooper

You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand there's no turning back.

The bugle sounds and the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
As I plunge on into certain death.

The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
And as we race towards the human wall
The screams of pain as my comrades fall.

We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
And the Russians fire another round
We get so near yet so far away
We won't live to fight another day.

We get so close near enough to fight
When a Russian gets me in his sights
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
A burst of rounds take my horse below.

And as I lay there gazing at the sky
My body's numb and my throat is dry
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Without a tear I draw my parting groan.

[BigMcLargehuge]

16. Great song

I think my favorite on Piece of Mind.

[flamingyouth]

17. Bruce's vocals are so amazing on it

The guitar solo actually sounds like a letdown. :D

[BigMcLargehuge]

19. Yep

I am spinning Hallowed be thy Name at the moment, and I think it's got the best double lead guitar work in the history of music, if not their catalog.

The Trooper contains everything awful about war in one amazing 3 minute explosion.

[kick-ass-bob]

13. Thank you. You deserve immortality now.

Or a good cold beer. Whichever you prefer.

:D

[BigMcLargehuge]

15. If I'm immortal I can have all the cold beer I want

so I'll take that.

It's an Iron Maiden kind of day!

[ragin_acadian]

23. "this is what not to do, when a bird shits on you"

the RHYME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER!

[asthmaticeog]

24. "Hallowed Be Thy Name" is the SHIT.

That's all I have to add. Thank you for listening.

[genie_weenie]

26. Holy Crap! Madien Rules!

Number of the Beast first tape I ever bought in 1982!

[jus_the_facts]

29. Can I Play With Madness?

:headbang: :woohoo: :headbang: :woohoo: :headbang:



Give me the sense to wonder
To wonder if I’m free
Give me a sense of wonder
To know I can be me
Give me the strength to hold my head up
Spit back in their face
Don’t need no key to unlock this door
Gonna break down the walls
Break out of this bad place

Can I play with madness
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness
There’s no vision there at all
Can I play with madness
The prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness
He said you’re blind too blind to see

I screamed aloud to the old man
I said don’t lie don’t say you don’t know
I say you pay for your mischief
In this world or the next
Oh and then he fixed me with a freezing glance
And the hellfires raged in his eyes
He said do you wanna know the truth son
I’ll tell you the truth
Your soul’s gonna burn in a lake of fire

Can I play with madness
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness
There’s no vision there at all
Can I play with madness
The prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness
He said you’re blind too blind to see

Can I play with madness
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness
There’s no vision there at all
Can I play with madness
The prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness
He said you’re blind too blind to see
