MAIDEN HEAVEN - A TRIBUTE TO IRON MAIDEN




Recently i came across a Kerrang magazine in HMV record in London- Issue no 1219 July 19. Hmm, this remind me during my high school years which really interested in reading/ having one but you know those days in mid 80s you just did not have enough money to buy one. After all, it is quite difficult to get one. Where got Internet maaa....
Anyway what excites me is that this edition reprinted all the classics poster of Metallica, Ozzy, ACDC,Slayer and Phil Lynot. Actually this is not the main reason why I bought the magazine. Actually there was a free CD with the purchase. You know what was yhe CD - Man, it is MAIDEN HEAVEN - A Tribute to Iron Maiden issued by Kerrang. For 2.20 pound I got a combo of Kerrang Magazine and a tribute Cd. What a bargain, wasn't it? For those who dont really follow the current new wave of metal bands including me it is worth to check it out. There are 15 bands pays their tributes including the evergreen Metallica and Dream Theatre. Below are the lists of bands that contributed world exclusives performance:

1) Black Tide - Prowler
2)Metallica - Remember Tomorrow
3)Avenged Sevenfold - Flash of Blade
4)Glamour of the Kill - 2 minutes to midnight
5)Coheed and Cambria - The Trooper
6)Devildriver - Wasted Years
7)Sign - Run to the Hill
8)Dream Theatre - To Tame A Land
9)Madina Lake - Caught Somewhere in Time
10)Gallows - Wrathchild
11)Fightstar - Fear of the Dark
12)Machine Head - Hallowed be thy name
13)Trivium - Iron Maiden
14)Year Long Disaster - Running Free
15)Ghostlines - Brave New World

Worth to check it out man especially when you want to experiment all these new wave of metal bands such Trivium, Machine Head , Madina Lake etc. For Avenged Sevenfold, it is my favorite now. Their 2005 album City of Evil is awesome.

Go and get the magazine.

Cheers. Maiden Rules . Lucky me, I got a chance to watch Maiden live in 2007 Dubai Desert Rock Festival. It was AWESOME.

Caya la bro, aku try carik Kerrang tu dah abis.. sold out kat Dubai

Coheed and Cambria - The Trooper, Devildriver - Wasted Years, Sign - Run to the Hill, Fightstar - Fear of the Dark & Coheed and Cambria - The Trooper memang best.. feel dengar dia orang main lagu Maiden

Metalicca? their version of Iron Maiden songs bolehla, mellow sangat, but I'm suprise they want to participate in this Tribute Album.. very humble rockers and their new album scheduled for release on September 12: Metallica - Death Magnetic, aku dengar preview dia, sounds good, hopefully better then Saint Anger

Shyhigh tu Sham Wings ka? ..the Sham.. the man.. good guiratist dia tu.. wish him all the best..
