Iron Maiden DLC

We've kept you waiting so long for an Iron Maiden package that even a six-pack wouldn't be enough. So prepare yourself for the Iron Maiden 12-pack, gathering metal landmarks from 1982's "The Number of the Beast" to a quartet of scorching, brand-new live tracks. The package ties in with Flight 666, the band's concert film which is being released on Blu-ray disc, double DVD and double soundtrack CD.

Live recordings of "Aces High," "Hallowed Be Thy Name," "Fear of the Dark" and "Iron Maiden," featured on Flight 666, are among those available for download in the Rock Band Music Store June 9. The other 8 songs were amongst those featured on the band's Somewhere Back in Time World Tour during the first leg of which Flight 666 was filmed. This will mark the first time master recordings from Iron Maiden have been made available on Rock Band games. "Metal fans have wanted this one for a long time, and we've answered them with some of the greatest Maiden songs, both live and recorded," said Paul DeGooyer, senior vice president of Electronic Games & Music for MTV Networks Music Group.

Maiden manager Rod Smallwood comments; "Fans have been asking us to do something with Rock Band for some time and this seemed to be a perfect opportunity. Our recent Somewhere Back in Time tour was perhaps the most enjoyable one we have ever undertaken, and certainly the most successful with almost two million people catching the shows round the world. So it just seemed a good idea to make some of the songs we played available now so fans can play along with the band on the tour. Then we shall see if they can keep up with the band!!"

For more news on the band and Flight 666, check out http://www.ironmaiden.com/. The complete list of tracks is as follows:

The Iron Maiden album was very good, but the best ever? Let's not get carried away. Let's take a poll. What's the best album EVER (to play on guitar)? My vote. The S. Ray Vaughn album. In my opinion, playing the blues is far more fun and challenging than metal. What you say?

rickyru24...

The best ever!

Bassman23...

I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I- -I-I-I-I-I-IRON- MADIEN! In a world of crappy modern synthesized crap, this is heaven!

The full 12 pack is great. Playing the thing from start to end is really the closest thing I've seen to giving a concert performance.

Tuesday, June 16, 2009

alexa345...

finally, Iron Maiden original band arrives on Rockband on the PS3.but why we need to wait until 2 days later than the 360 or Wii owners???..... well anyway I just want to say thanks for this JEWEL!!!!! and i´m waiting for another BIG SURPRISE from you guys..... GOOD JOB and keep looking for good DLC!

Tuesday, June 16, 2009

Valorian_Seri...

Dee Minimus...

By the way, as I read what I wrote after I posted, I noticed that this site left out the C, The U, and the M out of one of my words, and instead left three asterisks in the middle of my word. Apparently, Beavis and Butthead now have careers running a website. Who else could find those three letters in that word?

Friday, June 12, 2009

Dee Minimus...

No revelations, and no rime of the ancient mariner? Even Bruce Dickinson admitted that the song he likes to sing in concert best is, hands down, Rime of the Ancient Mariner in the Flight 666 do***entary. This is like releasing Led Zeppelin for Rock Band and leaving out Stairway to Heaven and Whole Lotta Love. Too Bad, Really. I have been looking forward to this.

Iron Maiden finally on the wii! Rock On!

Thursday, June 11, 2009

onefastrph...

I have money I want to give you for the Wii tracks...perhap- s- you don't want it. I guess I'll spend it elsewhere.

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

stangace20...

only problem I had was the pre-recorded intro to aces high, I know they used it on the tour, but that is one of my fav IM songs, are there any plans to release another version?

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

Finatic...

This is similar to when Rush - Moving Pictures was coming out, all the hype for the tuesday release only to find you cant get it on Playstation Network until Thursday, appears to be the same situation here. Why doesnt Harmonix/PSN announce their specific date so folks dont sit stressing for 2 additional days.

Anyways, I cant wait for the download tomorrow but hey Harmonix, Iron Maiden has sold over 75 MILLION albums, dont they deserve their own version of RB? If Aerosmith and Metallica (two of the biggest sellouts ever) get their own game, why not Maiden (band who kept their dignity), think there arent millions of IM fans who wouldnt buy the game?

Cant wait for Beatles Rock Band, that looks to be your greatest work ever. Even my non-gamer Beatle fanatic buddy cant wait to come over and play it.

But still, imagine a classic Iron Maiden stage setup with all the bells and whistles and lots of songs and top it off with

EDDIE!!!!

Up the Irons mates!

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

perrodelmal6669...

my to no have the maiden pack **** all you psn and your stupid rules
pd tomorrow is the day to download

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

DeimosBael...

June 10th 3:14 p.m. still no Iron Maiden on PS3? Well Where is it?

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

snowman-1...

Maybe we will get the rest of the downloaded tour.like REVELATIONS,AND- HEAVEN CAN WAIT. This download is one up for us IRON HEADS.From way back.

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

Mr.HardRock97...

yeah! I can't wait for it, I mean its Iron Maiden

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

heroedeguitara...

They didn't play Wicker Man during their tour, so what makes you think it would be in the pack?

Granted, there are other classic maiden songs (Where Eagles Dare) that should have been included in the setlist, but you can't always please everyone.

Here is hoping that Rime of the Ancient Mariner finally comes to Rockband.

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

B-STORM!!!!...

No Wicker Man?

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

B-STORM!!!!...

No Wicker Man?

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

heroedeguitara...

Well done, Harmonix. I have been waiting for this... and now it's finally here. Anxiously awaiting Iron Maiden Pack 2!

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

maiden-usa...

This is the BEST DLC to date. Not JUST because I'm a Maiden fan. All of the songs are SUPER FUN to play!! This content should keep me satisfied for a while, but NO WAY!!! It's left me wanting MORE MAIDEN!! Thanks Harmonix!!

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

Orzornn...

No it's not the same RTTH, wouldn't matter when the one on Rb1 doesn't transfer anyway, The one on RB1 is a cover while this one is a master recording with no hidden tempo changes on the drums lol.

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

MaskedVigilante...

Alright....It's- a day after the release and still no Iron Maiden on the Wii. This is getting super annoying. Why does the Wii never get the DLC on time? Will it be released later today?

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

greenhornet...

Rock Band, Thanks a lot, that's great for Iron Maiden, is that another song for the future, (Prowler , Running Free, Remember Tomorrow).

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

stangace20...

we need a version of aces high where we can play the intro....I know they used a recorded one on the tour....but that was probably the biggest letdown of the release for me.

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

coastermaniac1...

I just have to say this, is this a new version of Run to the Hills or not, because i have the export key, like many others, and we don't want to get a second copy of the same song.

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

Tuesday, June 9, 2009

Ecuadra...

Yes an Iron Maiden Rock Band would be great, just imagine that! with Eddie walking on stage and touring in the Ed Force One Plane!!! please Harmonix think in a worlwide hit for all heavy metal fans!!

Tuesday, June 9, 2009

ingribelli...

im really starting to get ticked off on how wii never gets dlc the date they should be getting them. I was looking forward to maiden and now this happens, AGAIN.

Tuesday, June 9, 2009

ProwlerCub...

I have been playing this since I downloaded the songs. It would be really great if there was disc designed with all Maiden songs just so Eddie could walk out onstage. Great job and now I am even more addicted to Rock Band.

Tuesday, June 9, 2009

Ecuadra...

Yes... the best track pack in rockband history, finally we have the best heavy metal band in the world in our home... UP THE IRONS!!!

Tuesday, June 9, 2009

HeavyHorse...

You guys have outdone the music game industry with this. The best music game franchise plus the best metal band in the world = total badassness. I can't say much more than "Thank you". So, thank you. :)

...oh yeah, and my expression when seeing the news (along w/plenty of people around the word). HELL YEAH!!!
