5/22 DLC Discussion Thread - Iron Maiden Epics 6 Pack!

[JBlack240]

Never would've guessed Lex as a big Maiden fan, also never really listened to much Maiden outside of NotB and RthH so I'll listen to all the songs from the pack and check out some of the songs we already have as well. It's more metal though, so I can't complain.

I'm not about to investigate but there are probably full albums, in Rock Band, that are shorter than that.

Yep, longer than all of The Cars self title album!

Harmonix, I want to gush and say that I take back everything I ever said negatively about your Pro choices.

I'm going to hold you to that!

Doh! More Maiden?

I can't believe it isn't Zeppelin.

You are very, very funny.

“Phantom of the Opera” - Now can someone tell me if this is in fact the ORIGINAL track, as in with Paul D'Anno on vocals? I don't see "Live" anywhere so it seems like it is. This is a very early Maiden classic - the unison bonuses are going to be SICK.

Di'Anno confirmed!

“The Prisoner” - This one's off Number of the Beast and it's really fun. I hope they kept the spoken intro. Again, all of the instruments are going to be phenomenal.

Audio clip from the tv show confirmed!

Keep an eye out for the livestream on Monday and Lex's blog on Tuesday, we'll have plenty more tidbits to share there.

More Maiden is always a good thing! Even if the guitar parts kill me (I do love it though), Bruce has one of my favorite voices in rock. I'll be peeling myself away from work and Diablo 3 long enough to play these next Tuesday!

I wonder when the next DLC that leaves me jumping-up-and-down excited will come. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed quite a bit of this year's DLC (surprise big-time favorite: Sounds of Shinedown), but I haven't had that giddy feeling at announcement since 2112. Maybe someday again

Epic is right - for the song lengths if nothing else.

Flight of Icarus is the song that got me into Maiden, and Piece of Mind and Seventh Son are my two favorite albums followed by Powerslave. Getting the whole pack for sure.

The only song I don't know really really well is the Phanotom, as I tend not to listen to that one too often (Fan of Dickenson).

Queen is my favorite band of all time, and Iron Maiden my favorite 80s metal band... HMX is taking care of me.

If 2112 wasn't leaked early I would of been more excited for it than this.

Excellent that we get 6 songs. Sad that it's yet more metal.
