No idea if the Sound Cellar has them, but if you get them from Amazon they work at at about 32 euro each and qualify for free postage to Ireland.


Maybe give Sound Cellar a buzz tomorrow and see how they compare price wise.

I just bought the new 'The Number of The Beast' vinyl today in Sound Cellar for €26. They seem to have quite good stock of them according to Tommy. I don't know what price 'Live After Death' is though because thats a double vinyl. They are charging €49 for it in Tower, which is a rip off price. I'm sure it's a lot cheaper in Sound Cellar. It's probably about €35 or €38, but thats just a rough guess. I also bought the new Darkthrone album as well, and Tommy gave a €2 discount which was nice of him.

I checked the prices for the new Iron Maiden vinyls on amazon uk, and they are a little bit dearer, about 2 or 3 than what Sound Cellar are charging. Free postage seems to apply for all of the Maiden vinyls except for 'The Number of The Beast' which is odd. 'Iron Maiden' and 'Powerslave' are slightly more expensive on amazon than Sound Cellar. 'Iron Maiden' is €31, and 'Powerslave' is around €33, so my advice is buy them in Sound Cellar instead. Believe it or not I now have all the classic albums on vinyl from 1980 - 1990, and I have nearly all the singles from that period apart from 'Wasted Years'. Thats the only single I don't have. I also want to get my hands on 'From Here To Eternity' with all the bikers on the front of it, and a bald guy in the background with a mustache. Tommy says he might be able to get me 'Fear of The Dark' on vinyl, so that would be fantastic.

By the way did you not notice those rapidshare links to those rare Eddie pics? Some comments on them would be really great.

From ironmaiden.com:

We are deeply saddened to report that Clive Burr passed away last night. He had suffered poor health for many years after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and died peacefully in his sleep at home.

Steve Harris said “This is terribly sad news. Clive was a very old friend of all of us. He was a wonderful person and an amazing drummer who made a valuable contribution to Maiden in the early days when we were starting out. This is a sad day for everyone in the band and those around him and our thoughts and condolences are with his partner Mimi and family at this time."

Bruce Dickinson adds “I first met Clive when he was leaving Samson and joining Iron Maiden. He was a great guy and a man who really lived his life to the full. Even during the darkest days of his M.S., Clive never lost his sense of humour or irreverence. This is a terribly sad day and all our thoughts are with Mimi and the family”

As Maiden fans all know, Clive joined Maiden in 1979 and performed on the first three albums Iron Maiden (1980), Killers (1981) and The Number Of The Beast (1982). Prior to that he was a member of Samson, the band Bruce fronted before he too joined Maiden.

RIP Clive, a great drummer.

Number Of The Beast had some mind-blowing drums going on, absolutely loved it. The man had skills, and he helped put Maiden on the map in a big way. He'll be missed.

I can only imagine how tough it was for him dealing with MS since the 90's, a very talented drummer.

My thoughts and condolences are with his family and friends.

Clive's drumming on Phantom of the Opera is my favourite track of his. RIP

R.I.P Clive!:(

My favourite Maiden lineup and Burr was a big hero of mine when I was a young lad.
A sad day for me.
RIP.

Sad news indeed - R.I.P. Clive

Only just found out as I was reading this thread.


A fantastic drummer and by all accounts a really good guy as well.



Have just popped on Maiden Japan to enjoy how damn good he was live and will be following it up with the Beast Over Hammersmith live album .

RIP Clive Burr.

You've got to love Google translate. In an interview translated from Swedish, Bruce Dickinson was apparently known as the "human flight alarm". Sounds much better than the 'air raid siren' don't you think?

(boring business type interview by the way but there is a mention of a possible 2014 album mentioned at the end)

New studio album out next year?.

I got to admit that Mr ‘arris’s ability to sell stuff tofans that we already have is sometimes annoying


SIX !!! Greatest hits compilations for example!!!


Well he got me !!!


Check out the pix attached


Had to go into the attic – I haven’t actually held a VHS inyears !!!!!

jack presley

The thing is no one is forcing anyone to buy anything. Ok so they have loads of greatest hits compilations and a new live album/DVD seems to come out after every tour these days but you don't have to buy them if you don't want to.

There probably are a few who want to collect everything in every format but if they do, they probably have bigger problems.

S Line

No doubt – my post was meant in a tongue in cheek fashion !!


I bought the last 8 DVD’s and thoroughly enjoyed them all


But they are too many greatest hits and live CD’s


But hey Steve Harris is a business man and if people willbuy product that he releases then more power to him !!

Exactly. If fans turned their noses up at the regular releases the band and record label would get the message but Maiden have a very loyal following
and whilst they continue to buy up every new release in large numbers they'll continue to churn it out.

Maiden in particular seem to have a large contingent of collector fans who will seek out every rarity for the sole purpose of collecting it. They've driven the market for a long time. Can't blame the band for trying to satisfy the market.

With an abundance of palm trees, golf courses and restaurants, the city of Boca Raton, Fla. is best known as a haven for retirees. However, if you’re, say, the son of famous heavy metal drummer, you may find life there a little taxing, and look for other ways to occupy your time – such as crime. Justin McBrain, son of Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain, was picked up by the Palm Beach County Sherriff’s Office on Friday (April 26) for alleged burglary and theft.

According to Boca News Now, the 20-year old McBrain knocked on a West Boca home and, when the homeowner opened the door, pushed his way in. While the woman called the police, he grabbed some items from her purse, including a half-eaten chocolate bunny, some cosmetics, a belly ring, a freezer pack and half an orange, which he ate.

McBrain was arrested shortly thereafter and charged with burglarizing an occupied dwelling and 2nd degree petit theft. At press time, he was being held on $25,000 bond.

This is the second occurence of recent legal troubles for the McBrain family. Two weeks ago, we reported that Nicko’s wife, Rebecca, will appear before a judge in May as a result of an incident in February. She is alleged to have committed domestic battery by attempting to stab a man (who may or may not have been Nicko) in their home and then throwing logs at him.

Funny that folk were talking about Maiden pushing out product to make money.

300,000 pints pre-ordered and the brewery didn't have to spend a penny on advertising.

Yeah the demand seems to be massive for it. Seems it is the first time that brewery has had to put on extra shifts in order to ensure enough gets made to meet demand.

I had a quick look at ordering some. Just out of interest as having lived in England for a few years, I'm not a fan of their ales and bitters. Anyway, when you add in postage
to Ireland it was about £30 for 8 bottles.

Has anyone actually tasted it yet. when is it relesed hoping to travel over to london for ireland friendly in wembley might sample it if i can find it in london

I'd say you won't see it in any pubs in London. Most breweries in Britain are fairly regional and only sell their beers in their own pubs and I think this Robinson crowd are based up north and in Wales. However as it's Maiden and they're a London band, they might have something in place. An off-licence for a few bottles would be your best bet I'd say.

English real ale is fairly manky as well in my opinion so I wouldn't be holding out too much hope for it.

Contact the brewery, http://www.robinsonsbrewery.com/ ask them which pubs in the London area are stocking it.

Iron Maiden's new beer won't be on sale in Sweden's state owned liquor store monopoly. The label on the bottle breaks the regulations.

What was the final cost by the way, including postage? We'll be expecting a full review when you get it. Are you an ale drinker anyway?

So I was at the Lisbon gig on Wednesday night and although the removal of Still Life from the original Maiden England setlist was a disappointment for me, it's still pretty strong and the show itself is up to Maiden's usual high standards, including lots of pyro and a couple of Eddie appearances. The Portuguese are a LOUD audience, too, really adding to the occasion. It's a real shame they aren't bringing it to Ireland, but roll on Stockholm in July!!

Maiden will be finishing the Euro leg of the Maiden England tour wit a gig at The O2 in London on Aug 3rd, totally ticketless event to deter touts.

I really think they should play a warm up gig on the Friday night before in the o2 Dublin....nothing else on there that night!

grimm2005

Thinking of going to the London gig myself, just saw them at Download and they were absolutely fantastic, bank holiday weekend as well. Pretty perfect setlist for me really. Also had the trooper beer at Download, very nice I must say, although I'm not a huge ale drinker so can't really compare it to others but it was a hell of a lot better then the tuborg they were serving at the regular bars, but that's not difficult I suppose!

Only Iron Maiden could pull something like this off

If you've a few hours spare i recommend watching this, apparently the band release these every so often, Part 4 is due soon. Has all the ex members in it and is a great watch, funny too

'Still Life' is a class song, and I don't know why so many people consider it a weak filler song. My main annoyance is that they never play anything off 'Somewhere in Time' anymore apart from 'Wasted Years' and 'Heaven Can Wait'. It's an awesome album, and I wish they would play 'Somewhere in Time', Sea Madness, Stranger in a Strange Land' and 'Alexander The Great' at least.

Also if anybody is interested I have lots of hi res and super hi res rare Eddie pics, including Derek Riggs unfinished 'Fear of The Dark' and an early version of 'Piece of Mind'.;)

I hope this works for you. Also if your looking for any of the singles, I have very hi res scans of all the Eddie singles from 1980 to 1992. Most of them are scanned directly from the 12inch vinyls at 300dpi.

I just noticed that if you right click on the links instead, and choose open in new tab or new window they seem to work just fine

Just picked up a few bottles myself. From living in England in the 90's I remember the English liking their ale and bitters served warmer than we do so what's the optimum temperature for Trooper? Should it be chilled or what?
