I can't be bothered to finish my Iron Maiden song blog since I'm getting bored of countless Maiden blogs and I'm sure others are too. Anyway, about this new band.
In Flames. A Swedish melodic death metal band, and how awesome are they. I have to thank Guitar Hero 3 for this as I really enjoyed Take This Life by them so I've gone on Youtube and listened to a ton of their songs. Come Clarity, Take This Life, Colony and The Mirror's Truth are the best songs so far. So, I've ordered their latest album: Sense of Purpose which should arruve tommorow.
October. Three things will make October a blast: Saint's Row 2, Dead Space and Rise Against: Appeal To Reason. Saint's Row 2 will abosolutely kick GTA IV's ass out of the window, my opinion. GTA IV was great but once the story is done and you've messed around abit, there's no need for it anymore. Dead Space apparantely will be BioShock but in space, I've seen gameplay videos and everything about it looks brilliant. My sort of game. I just EA won't balls it up. Then, Rise Against's new album, after a few troubles with a release date, it's going ti come out this October on the 7th.
I'm also borrowing Gears of War of my brother and after much debate over it- I'm getting Gears of War 2. Also my opinion on Guitar Hero has changed it. But, I certainly won't buy it. Bye.
Unlike my favourite album list, I'll be posting my favourite songs by date of release. So, I'll be starting from their first album to their third. Iron Maiden- The Number of the Beast. Killers isn't on here because there's no songs that I think should make the list.
!THIS ISN'T MY FAVOURITE SONGS IN ORDER, JUST IN DATE ORDER!
20) Prowler
From their first album, many songs became on the charts like: Phantom of the Opera and Transylvania. For me, no song beats Prowler. The voice is Paul Di'Anno and he brought a very light rock feeling to the album which really was some of their best work. Better than Blaze Bailey anyway.
19) Iron Maiden
Yep, their self-titled album had a self-titled song and this song usually introduces the band during live events. Again, Di'Anno does a great job with this song and argubly this is their signature song.

Run To The Hills
On the Number of the Beast album, Run To The Hills became hugely popular and was always included in their live events. For me, this song isn't the very best but it is in the catagory of legendary songs like: The Trooper, Hallowed Be Thy Name and The Number of the Beast. Defiantely a song that shouldn't be missing from any Iron Maiden compliation albums.
17) The Number of the Beast
My most favourite Maiden song and the band's signature song (to me) and the best lyrics and guitar solos ever. A song that follows a man who watches Satanists and ultimately joins them, with the pure almost Satanic voice of Dickinson who fires his voice into oblivion for this song. Truly an amazing song.
16) Hallowed Be Thy Name
At first listen through, I didn't think much of it. A few more times I loved it and it has great lyrics and one of the best stories in a song. A man who is about to be hung and reflects his feelings and thoughts. At the end of the guitar riff, he yells "Hallowed Be Thy Name" before being executed. It's quite a fast song in some ways but it has a slow start. Then picks up as the song progresses. With those three songs on one album, The Number of the Beast is my most favourite album by Iron Maiden.
Next time I'll be listing songs from the albums: Piece of Mind and Powerslave.
And it's great! My plan was to get one at GameStation but they only had ones with bundles with games I didn't want for £234 or something like that. So, went down to Argos and picked one up for £200, yes the full system. They gave me five best sellers for no extra price which were: Viva Pinata, Project Gotham Racing 3, Fusion Frenzy, Arcade games and Kameo: The somthing of Power, I dunno. I then went to GameStation again to pick up to games for the price of one game (£40). I got Condemned 2: Bloodshot and Rainbow Six Vegas 2. I was going to get Condemned 2 and GTA IV but GTA IV wasn't in the deal for two games for the price of one. I'd rather have two games than just the one. My brother says he'll give me any of his games to play and he has GTA IV!
Condemned 2 is pretty hard but really creepy and is scaring the s**t out of me. RSV2 is awesome and I'm on the fourth mission I think (the Convention Centre). Pretty challenging.
That's all.
