BNR Metal Pages -- Iron Maiden The band's early years is where the best Maiden albums come from, with most feeling that either Killers, Number Of The Beast, or Piece Of Mind are the band's best (personal vote: Killers). Iron Maiden is clearly one of the most recognizable and successful groups to emerge from the NWOBHM scene that came into being in the late seventies, as well as one of the most influential metal bands of all time, with an infinite number of 80's (and later) bands owing to their style. And they certainly remain a fan favorite, with a stunning 13 albums placing in the Internet Top Ten lists. www.bnrmetal.com /groups/irma.htm   (212 words)

Iron Maiden MP3 Downloads - Iron Maiden Music Downloads - Iron Maiden Music Videos Even though Iron Maiden were on the brink of worldwide superstardom after their breakthrough sophomore effort, Killers, vocalist Paul Di'Anno left the band at the conclusion of their 1981 world tour. And while the music on their first albums contained elements of punk, Beast was a 100 percent true heavy metal album, as Maiden's songwriting and sound continued to solidify. This was Iron Maiden's breakthrough, as it is the first to feature Bruce Dickinson on vocals. www.mp3.com /albums/8105/summary.html   (429 words)

Metal Rules!!: Paul Dianno Containing the classics Iron Maiden, Wratchchild, Killers and Sanctuary, this new release is a must for all heavy metal and Maiden fans alike. The live album is a culmination of recordings done since I left Maiden over many years indeed. The biggest problem of for Lea and myself in putting the album together as one total album was trying to get the final mixes of all of the different recordings to sound as one. www.metal-rules.com /interviews/PaulDianno.htm   (586 words)

Killers (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Killers, released in March of 1981 on EMI in the UK, was the second album by Iron Maiden. The album is an unusual one in it that it features two instrumentals and was written almost exclusively by Steve Harris with only minor assistance from the rest of the band. It was the first of their albums to feature guitarist Adrian Smith, and the last to feature vocalist Paul Di'Anno who left the band mid-tour due to problems with alcohol and narcotics. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Killers_(album)   (184 words)

Iron Maiden : Killers - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect Killers is another bona fide Maiden classic, but would also prove to be vocalist Paul Di'Anno's last with the group. Iron Maiden's sophomore effort, 1981's Killers, proved to be a more focused and developed affair than its predecessor. Killers contains a much livelier sound than the debut, while bassist Steve Harris again played a prominent role in the songwriting, penning ten of the album's 11 tracks, while co-writing another. www.artistdirect.com /nad/store/artist/album/0,,107068,00.html   (212 words)

The Iron Maiden Commentary The song was later recorded by Samson on their 1980 album Head On whereas Iron Maiden recorded it in 1981 on Killers. Killers is not a concept album, but many of the songs do share a certain commonality. It is an interesting and complex thread, which explores the "killers" concept from several different perspectives including the angry searcher, the fleeing suspect, the innocently accused, the cold-blooded killer, the repentant disciple, and finally the reformed drifter. www.maidenfans.com /imc?url=album02_killers/commentary02_killers&lang=eng&link=albums   (2497 words)

Killers by Iron Maiden CD KILLERS is based on more straight-ahead heavy metal, departing from Iron Maiden's 1980 self-titled debut, which had more of a punk edge (a facet often cited as an important stepping stone for "thrash metal" years later). Iron Maiden's sophomore album is a great album. This is Killers, the band's second studio album. www.cduniverse.com /search/xx/music/pid/3021213/a/Killers.htm   (1011 words)

Amazon.com: Killers: Music: Iron Maiden "Killers" was the Maiden album that started it all for me. I was hooked after I heard this, and 20+ years later I'm still an avid Maiden fan today.... Killers is one of my favorite Iron Maiden albums. Iron Maiden's second album, isn't thought of as being a classic metal album, but maybe it should be. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000063COZ?v=glance   (1276 words)

RevelationZ Magazine - Album Review - Iron Maiden - Killers Killers: One of two songs that is not written entirely by Steve Harris. The 2nd single of the album, and as the album it didn't do very well. This album is something special, Di'Anno is on fine form in tracks like 'Wrathchild' 'Murders in the Rue Morgue' and 'Purgatory. www.revelationz.net /index.asp?ID=117   (1303 words)

Encyclopedia: Fear of the Dark (album) Killers, released in 1981, was the second album by Iron Maiden. Fear of the Dark was the final 1990s album by the heavy metal band Iron Maiden that featured Bruce Dickinson as lead vocalist. Dickinson was succeeded by Blaze Bayley, formerly of Wolfsbane for two studio albums until Dickinson returned to Iron Maiden in 2000 for the release of the Brave New World album. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Fear-of-the-Dark-(album)   (1893 words)

Daily Vault - April 1, 2002 And in terms of track selection, Iron Maiden do pretty well by including "Wrathchild" and "Running Free," the two tracks which could be called their biggest hits up to that point. And I do have to admit, including "Killers" was a good move, since it's such a solid version that it would definitely attract listeners back to this cut on the Killers album, if not the whole disc. However, I will concede that the faster tempoed portion of this song shows how much tighter of a musical outfit Iron Maiden had become since their self-titled release in 1980. www.dailyvault.com /2002_04_01-ct.html   (546 words)

FAQ: IRON MAIDEN Frequently Asked Questions, part 1/2 (monthly post) Recorded on all that Dennis Stratton recorded with the band, KILLERS album, "Maiden Japan" EP, and THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST album. His last recording with IRON MAIDEN is the "Infinite Dreams" EP, recorded live on the Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son World Tour, leaving a legacy of one song "Hooks In You" on the next album NO PRAYER FOR THE DYING. She and the British government had a dispute with IRON MAIDEN back in 1980/1981 with the "Sanctuary" and "Women In Uniform" singles, depicting her as dead on the ground (killed by Eddie, of course) and hiding behind a wall observing Eddie picking up chicks, respectively. www.faqs.org /faqs/music/iron-maiden-faq/part1   (546 words)

Iron Maiden: Maiden England (1989) (V) The Maiden England concert had some old classics from the KILLERS album, NUMBER OF THE BEAST album and of the SEVENTH SON OF A SEVENTH SON album. Maiden England (Seventh son of a Seventh son world tour, 1988) is one of Maiden's best concerts they have done. Although ROCK N' RIO is probably better, but their greatest concert i have seen is the DANCE OF DEATH world tour which i saw at the Nottingham arena (4th December 2003). www.imdb.com /title/tt0352443   (546 words)

IRON MAIDEN Frequently Asked Questions, part 1/2 Recorded on all that Dennis Stratton recorded with the band, KILLERS album, "Maiden Japan" EP, and THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST album. The new singer with IRON MAIDEN is Blaze Bayley (not Bailey!), formerly of WOLFSBANE. IRON MAIDEN have been around in one form or another really since about 1975 or so, and was one of the most definitive forces in the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) to come out into the world during the late 1970's and early 1980's. tinpan.fortunecity.com /polly/852/faq.html   (13695 words)

Iron Maiden Page But Killers was a big step in the direction that Iron Maiden was heading in the albums after that. The second through fifth tracks on this album have gone on to become the songs that Iron Maiden almost has to play at their concerts. There's another enterprising fellow who has also put together an Iron Maiden Web page. www.cs.tufts.edu /~stratton/maiden/maiden.html   (13695 words)

Amazon.com: The Number of the Beast: Music: Iron Maiden This song sounds like it should be on the killers or iron maiden album. Plug-ugly and cartoonishly morbid, Iron Maiden were typical of the Brit effort, since they effectively emphasized a driving, no-nonsense approach to the music. Of the nine songs here--including Maiden classics like "Run to the Hills" and the title track--only "Gangland" falls flat, though it's immediately overshadowed by "Hallowed Be Thy Name," acknowledged by many as this band's apotheosis. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000063CP6?v=glance   (2903 words)

Adrian's Album Reviews : Iron Maiden 'Killers' is a serious album focusing on usual Maiden themes of death and murder, etc. The cover artwork is superb, as we'd come to expect from the group. And "Powerslave" is one of those essential Maiden albums, like or not. They wrote and recorded this album here, not as enjoyable as 'Number Of The Beast', for me. A little too dour sometimes, is this 'Powerslave' record, but it gets to you. www.adriandenning.co.uk /maiden.html   (3169 words)

RevelationZ Magazine - Album Review - Iron Maiden - Powerslave Powerslave is the best Maiden album in my opinion followed by Iron Maiden, Killers, The-X factor and Brave New World... personally i think this album is one of the most overated that maiden have done. I mean, no one listening to this album can deny that fact (except my parents who were born on the wrong side of the jurassic period, but that's another story). www.revelationz.net /index.asp?ID=124   (1156 words)

Get Ready to ROCK! Interview with Dennis Stratton,original guitarist with heavy rock band Iron Maiden and Praying Mantis I played on the Album, Single Running Free which we did on Top of The Pops "LIVE" Women In Uniform and all recordings up to the 2nd Album Killers I think. I tried to get John Slowman to join Lionheart back in the 80's but he was working with Gary Moore, tried again in the 90's to get John to join Mantis, finally got hold of him to do the Mantis Album, great voice. The record company knew the Album was gonna do well because of advanced orders, but it was nice to get great support everywhere we went. www.getreadytorock.com /10questions/dennis_stratton.htm   (743 words)

John J. Miller on Iron Maiden on National Review Online When Iron Maiden fans pick their favorite album, most settle on one of three from the band's heyday in the early 1980s: The Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, or Powerslave. And the titles don't help, either: Two of the band's first three albums are called Killers and The Number of the Beast. Despite those silly album covers and names, the group's lyrical interests were downright mature — and several notches above everything else in the genre. www.nationalreview.com /miller/miller200409150615.asp   (1173 words)

Official Ticketmaster site. Iron Maiden tickets, dates Although the release was recorded in a hurry, it was nonetheless a hit in the U.K. due to the single "Running Free." Iron Maiden's 1981 follow-up, Killers, displayed a harder approach to their music than before, and also saw the replacement of Stratton with Adrian Smith. Parsons replaced Dennis Stratton, and the band made its record debut in 1980 with the self-titled Iron Maiden album. Iron Maiden have always been an underground attraction; although failing to ever obtain any real media attention in the U.S. (critics claimed them to be Satanists due to their dark musical themes and their use of grim mascot "Eddie"), they still became well known throughout the world and have remained consistently popular throughout their career. www.ticketmaster.ca /artist/735341   (1316 words)

Somewhere in Time (Iron Maiden) : A Very Boring Painting Home > Music > Albums > Somewhere in Time (Iron Maiden) A cat is seen in a window on the Killers album cover, and a cat with a halo is in the crowd on the Run To The Hills cover. Another album with interesting references is "Live after death": on the back cover you can find some strange declarations on the tombstones and there is also the same cat indicated before in the "Somewhere in time cover". www.eeggs.com /items/3700.html   (1215 words)

Adrian's Album Reviews : Iron Maiden 'Killers' is a serious album focusing on usual Maiden themes of death and murder, etc. The cover artwork is superb, as we'd come to expect from the group. Matured is perhaps not a sensible word to use when describing a heavy-metal act, yet with albums like 'Somewhere In Time', Maiden proved themselves attractive to far more than just the usual metal brigade. I've given the album a '9' haven't I? Iron Maiden entertain me. I really love the guitar sound, love the vocals. www.adriandenning.co.uk /maiden.html   (3169 words)

Armageddon Online - Iron Maiden Fans/EdHeads/RivetHeads Favourite album would have to be either Killers or the self titled. Piece of Mind is the Album, but Aces High or Rime of the Ancient Mariner, or Hallowed be thy Name is the Song I have one of their albums and I rather enjoy listening to them. www.armageddononline.net /forums/printthread.php?t=4942   (3169 words)

Black Sabbath : The Mob Rules - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect And while it lacks some of its predecessor's inspired songwriting, Mob Rules was given a much punchier, in-your-face mix by Birch, who seemed re-energized after his work on New Wave of British Heavy Metal upstarts Iron Maiden's Killers album. In fact, all the ingredients which had made their first outing, Heaven and Hell, so successful are re-utilized on this album, including legendary metal producer Martin Birch (Deep Purple, Whitesnake, etc.) and supporting keyboard player Geoff Nichols. 1981's Mob Rules was the second Black Sabbath album to feature vertically challenged singer Ronnie James Dio, whose powerful pipes and Dungeons and Dragons lyrics initially seemed like the perfect replacement for the recently departed and wildly popular Ozzy Osbourne. www.faxtion.com /nad/store/artist/album/0,,53169,00.html   (288 words)

RevelationZ Magazine - Album Review - Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast The Number of the beast is about the only Maiden song that I found a little catchiness in, along with the "Killers" CD.. Iron Maiden- The Number Of The Beast They did'nt have as many strong songs on their later albums, wich means we have lots to skip on those ones. www.revelationz.net /index.asp?ID=118   (1478 words)
