I'm pretty sure the song was available at around 4PM EST for PS3. You had to go through the in-game music store to get it though.

Add me, but you can't argue about losing 1 song, when we got Maiden.

Has anyone ever looked at the drummer during the intro to Run to the Hills on drums? The drummers arms looked way too robotic.

Wow, lots of complaining because people aren't good enough to play on the rock band engine. Must be rough.

Everyone owes it to themselves to play this as a full concert pack at least once. It's an absolutely amazing 45 minute wind through the singles that make up Iron Maiden's concert setlist, capped off by 2 absolutely epic live tracks and a (somewhat) out of place encore track with the biggest BRE to date.

This is the best bass pack period.

Was there anyone else than me who was disappointed about the guitar charts for this pack? In several songs, Harmonix tends to either 1) chart bends as trills, 2) chart slides, or 3) just chart series of notes in, how I see it, very incoherent places, such as quick HO/PO parts with mixed in strum notes or chords. There are also some other really weird parts, like one of the breaks in Iron Maiden (Live), and the fast B-O trill in Fear of the Dark. For some reason, the solo in Run to the Hills with the trills at insane speed seem overcharted, too.

Oh well, I guess the actual quality of the songs make up for what the charts lack.

Still, really too bad that all the potential that this pack had to be good was... well, wasted.

It's currently about 4 AM Saturday here. I downloaded the entire pack Friday and played 10 of the 12 songs before having to go to work. When I got back home, I played the other 2. And I easily fell in love with Powerslave, The Clairvoyant, and Hallowed Be Thy Name. Just musically.

Overall, on expert guitar, I 5 starred them all on my sightreads. Got gold stars on one of them, but I can't remember which one. I think it was Iron Maiden.

I expected The Trooper to be more or less a retread of the GH 2 cover, but those damn main riff trills killed me. In the cover, it was the gallops that gave me problems, and the trills helped me out. Here, it was the other way around. It's odd.

I've played Neversoft's chart of Number of the Beast, the cover chart, and now Harmonix's chart. Having played the cover more than any of them, I'm surprised at the little changes that gave me problems. The cover used HO/POs for the intro and the tempo actually felt slower than the master. While it probably would have been easier for me to alt strum, I didn't.

As for Wasted Years and it's insane solo, I got through the first part almost unscathed. Then I got hit with the second half and thankfully had the OD to get out of it.

I'm actually kind of not into The Trooper due to those damn trills and Number of the Beast due to endurance factors, but everything else to me is a win.

This is the best pack ever for me, absolutely awesome. More like this, please, HMX. (Hint: Rush 12 pack, incl. live encores!)

Back on this, I'd never previously heard Powerslave or Clairvoyant - what fantastic songs! Everything else was superb, I had less fun with NotB, but I'd had enough of that already from other music games.

To sum it up: I didn't play any other song bar these songs, from Tuesday til Friday - that's never happened before.

* Applause *

Bought the entire pack (first complete song/artist pack that I bought). Played # of the Beast first on drums, easy 5*. Played the rest (sans RttH) in a single sitting, 4-5* them all. Tried RttH, insta-fail on the 2nd verse. >_<

But it is an awesome pack. Thank you HMX!

Just got 5 of the Maiden songs last night(All I had enough points for), heres my opinion/review:

When Iron Maiden was announced I though no thanks I'll skip this week. I've never been a big fan of them or even heard a song besides RTTH(RB1 cover only) and NOTB(GH3). I ended up watching the Flight 666 DVD because it was on my TV's concert channel. I ended up watching every minute of the concert and singing along with the crowd. I finally got some points yesterday and bought all I had points for: Iron Maiden(Live), Hallowed Be Thy Name(Live),Wasted Years, Powerslave and Fear of the Dark (Live). So far I have only played them on drums but I have not disliked or found any of them boring. The Live songs are amazing and make you feel like your at the concert watching them. The drum beats IMO are very fun. I was able to FC all but 1 of the RYBO parts on my sightread. Almost all of the songs have a challenging part or multiple challenging sections and all of them are enjoyable to listen to. Thanks to RB and my TV I am a Iron Maiden fan now.

TL;DR- Never gave Maiden a chance. Ended up watching the Flight 666 DVD on TV and ended up loving the songs and buying as many as I could.
