Iron Maiden's gonna get you, no matter how far

Larga vida a los pantalones de pitillo!

Won't you come into my room, I wanna show you all my wares.
I just want to see your blood, I just want to stand and stare.
See the blood begin to flow as it falls upon the floor.
Iron Maiden can't be fought, Iron Maiden can't be sought.

[Chorus]
Oh Well, wherever, wherever you are,
Iron Maiden's gonna get you, no matter how far.
See the blood flow watching it shed up above my head.
Iron Maiden wants you for dead.

Won't you come into my room, I wanna show you all my wares.
I just want to see your blood, I just want to stand and stare.
See the blood begin to flow as it falls upon the floor.
Iron Maiden can't be fought, Iron Maiden can't be sought.

Buen fin de semana!

Noche de heavy (Iron Maiden)

Con la excusa de la publicación del nuevo disco de Maiden ayer se montaron una buena fiesta en el Hellfire Metal Club dedicada a los ingleses que no estuvo nada mal! Hacía tiempo que no escuchaba tanto Maiden seguido :) Entre los temas sonó este Hallowed y joder, que grande que es!!!

Hocus Pocus

Hoy voy a rallar con el que para mí es el tema más famosos de Focus

Por un lado tenemos un spot de Nike parecido a lo que nos tienen acostumbrados últimamente pero llevado al extremo y donde suena el tema Hocus Pocus acompañando a Rooney, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo...



Luego una peazo versión de los Maiden (Maiden = calidad)



y para finalizar la versión de los propios Focus!



Buen fin de semana!

Phantom of the Opera

Definición de Heavy Metal? aquí la tenéis jeje

I've been looking so long for you
now you won't get away from my grasp.
You've been living so long in hiding
in hiding behind that false mask.
And you know and I know that
you ain't got long now to last.
Your looks and your feelings
are just the remains of your past.

You're standing in the wings,
there you wait for the curtain to fall.
Knowing the terror and holding
you have on us all.
Yeah, I know that you're gonna
scratch me, maim me and maul.
You know I'm helpless from
your mesmerising cat call.

Keep your distance, walk away,
don't take his bait.
Don't you stray, don't fade away.
Watch your step, he's out to get you,
come what may.
Don't you stray, from the narrow way.

I'm running and hiding in my dreams
you're always there.
You're the Phantom of the Opera,
you're the devil, you're just out to scare.
You damaged my mind and my soul
it just floats through the air.
Haunt me, you taunt me,
you torture me back at your lair.

Buen fin de semana!

Can I Play With Madness

Este es el vídeo de Maiden que más veces habré visto y supongo que gracias a él me enganché al grupo. Y todo gracias al programa Sputnik del canal 33 (cuando daban videoclips) donde también descubrí el mítico November Rain y algún clásico más!! Ahora en Sputnik sólo dan documentales o conciertos. Ayer dieron un documental sobre Hendrix que no estuvo mal, la verdad es que se agradece mucho que hagan programas así en la tele tal y como está el panorama. Pues nada os dejo con los Maiden y de paso copio el link del blog de un amigo donde encontraréis entre otras cosas a Dylan, a Stoichkov hablando en inglés (genial) o a Mourinho muriéndose de la risa con las locuras de Eto'o... Autogolazo

Can I Play With Madness

Give me the sense to wonder
To wonder if I'm free
Give me a sense of wonder
To know I can be me
Give me the strength to hold my head up
Spit back in their face
Don't need no key to unlock this door
Gonna break down the walls
Break out of this bad place

Can I play with madness - the prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness - there's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness - the prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness - he said you're blind, too blind to see

I screamed aloud to the old man
I said don't lie don't say you don't know
I say you'll pay for your mischief
In this world or the next
Oh and then he fixed me with a freezing glance
And the hell fires raged in his eyes
He said, do you want to know the truth son
- I'll tell you the truth
Your soul's gonna burn in the lake of fire

Can I play with madness - the prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness - there's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness - the prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness - he said you're blind, too blind to see

oooh,listen to me,said the prophet...

Can I play with madness - the prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness - there's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness - the prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness - he said you're blind, too blind to see

Can I play with madness

Para los que no han tenido suerte con la lotería...

Hay un número que nunca os fallará je je je

The Number of the Beast

"Woe to You, Oh Earth and Sea,
for the Devil sends the beast with wrath,
because he knows the time is short...
Let him who have understanding
reckon the number of the beast
for it is a human number
its number is Six hundred and sixty six."

I left alone
my mind was blank.
I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind.

What did I see, Could I believe
That what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy.

Just what I saw, in my old dreams,
were they
reflections of my warped mind staring back at me.

'Cause in my dreams
it's always there
the evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair

The night was black,
was no use holding back,
'Cause I just had to see
was someone watching me
In the mist,
dark figures move and twist,
was all this for real
or just some kind of hell
666 the number of the beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released

Torches blazed and
sacred chants were praised
as they start to cry,
hands held to the sky
In the night,
the fires are burning bright,
the ritual has begun,
Satan's work is done
666 the number of the beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight.

This can't go on,
I must inform the law
Can this still be real
or some crazy dream.
But I feel drawn
towards the chanting hordes
they seem to mesmerize...can't avoid their eyes
666 the number of the beast
666 the one for you and me

I'm coming back,
I will return,
And I'll possess your body
and I'll make you burn.
I have the fire,
I have the force.
I have the power
to make my evil take its course

Rock in Rio

En 2001 Iron Maiden tocaron en el siempre multitudinario festival de Rock in Rio en Brasil, en ese momento Iron Maiden empezaba su nueva época con la vuelta de Brcue Dickinson al mando de la banda con el siempre presente Steve Harris (uno de los pocos bajistas de heavy que se puede escuchar con claridad). Ese show fue registrado para su posterior venta en dvd y cd, el resultado no fue nada malo, para mí significa bastante ya que fue el primer dvd de la banda que tuve y en esa época Maiden eran una de mis bandas favoritas.

En el dvd se ve a unos Maiden totalmente entregados y un público que enloquece en cada canción ya sea del último álbum o un clásico de toda la vida, sin duda uno de los públicos más entregados que he visto, aunque no es de extrañar viniendo del público brasileño que siempre ha sido de los más entregados, como el argentino...

El set list contiene 6 temas de su Brave New World, álbum que presentaban en aquella gira, y 12 temas de sus anteriores discos. Si bien faltan muchos temas clásicos de su carrera, el set list me gusta bastante, creo que los temas que presentaban encajaron muy bien con las canciones de siempre, podrían haber hecho algo similar en la gira del A Matter of Life And Death dónde se tocaron el disco entero (manda huevos), pero bueno, son los Maiden y creo que se lo perdono!

Aquí tenéis el set list del concierto:

1. Intro - Arthur's Farewell
2. The Wicker Man
3. Ghost of the Navigator
4. Brave New World
5. Wrathchild
6. Two Minutes to Midnight
7. Blood Brothers
8. Sign of the Cross
9. The Mercenary
10. The Trooper
11. Dream of Mirrors
12. The Clansman
13. The Evil That Men Do
14. Fear of the Dark
15. Iron Maiden
16. The Number of the Beast
17. Hallowed be Thy Name
18. Sanctuary
19. Run to the Hills

En youtube se puede ver el concierto entero, aquí os pongo The Clansman, un himno de los Maiden más modernos!

Flight 666 en Cinesa

El esperado documental de la gira Somewhere Back In Time World Tour de Iron Maiden titulado Flight 666 se podrá ver en los Cinesa Heron City y La Maquinista de Barcelona, en el Cinesa las Siete Palmas de Las Palmas y en el Augusta de Zaragoza el martes 21 de abril a las 20:30h, siendo esta la única fecha en cartelera. Como ya sucedió con el mítico concierto Live After Death, tendremos la oportunidad de volver a ver a Iron Maiden en la gran pantalla y rodeados de heavys que seguramente pedirán a gritos que suban el volumen de la película!
