songs that feature the "iron maiden gallop"

Triple kicks (galloping) on and off, starting at around 11 seconds in...

An acquired taste, maybe, but talented musicians for sure.
 
Prominent, trademark Maiden gallop in this one.

(Skip to 2:48, if you're the impatient sort.)

From 2:15 to 2:50, and then again from 3:25 to 4:00, and then again from 5:22 to 5:59 of this one:

Rob Zombie. You can hear the gallop beat off and on.

Iced Earth are Maiden fans and have included the gallop in many songs. I think the band and gallops both are more comparable to Metallica's, though.

Also, what's with the Shart theme? Seems a little thick. I don't know if I should think it's gross, or join in.

"Great White Shart"


"Hammerheaded Shart"


"Goblin nose Shart"

Thanks for the head's up. I'll admit that I'm not as acquainted with as much Iced Earth as I'd like to be. Hit us up wit summadat classic Maiden horsetrot here, bro.

Check it out:

I was rollin' down the road yesterday list'nin' to some vintage Stryper, man — yes, STRYPER. (I don't care what you think about ther religious beliefs: any fan of metal has to admit that those boys know their stuff, and they can BURN. But I digress ...) And I found a vintage track off their Against the Law LP called "One For All" or "All For One"; I can't recall. And damn, this track has the MAIDEN GALLOP ALL OVER IT, BRO.

I'm having trouble getting YouTube links to embed here right now, for some reason. Soooooooooo, Casey Kasem my man, could you please post a YouTube link to that gem right here on this thread for us, so we can appreciate its Maidenesque beauty? Pleeeeeeeeeze?

Again, it's either called "All For One", or "One For All".

"Great White Shart"

"Hammerheaded Shart"

"Goblin nose Shart"

"Thick" — huh?????

We sharts have been called many things, none of them pretty: but we have never been associated with thickness.

We're skinny. We're slick. We're sneaky. We run, bro — usually going the distance, when we do.

Dig the suggestions. Thanks.

Time to make like a great Sheryl Crow song, and Run, Baby, Run.

The Bay Area Bashers don't rely on the rhythm as much in this Dave Mustaine-written gem as they do in a lot of their other stuff, but they do nonetheless play with it just a bit. Skip ahead to listen to the track from 3:46 to 3:49 to hear it in this:

Here's one I never myself expected to see show up on this thread.

Listen to the percussion:
