An Important Truth Remembered

[bushidomartialarts]

I was going through some of my old stuff this weekend. Some truths seem so obvious when we're younger, and sometimes we forget those thruths as we age. Some seem less true after a few years more experience.

Some truths, though remain true no matter how old you are, no matter what experiences you have through life.

I was reminded of an important truth that I knew in high school and college, and had forgotten until this weekend. And this is one of those universal truths that will remain true to my grave...

Iron Maiden kicks some serious ***.

 

[airdawg]

yes they do.

 

[SFC JeffJ]

One of my favorite metal bands!!!

 

[Lisa]

Iron Maiden. I attribute a majority of my deafness to them.

What was that Lisa?

 

[Lisa]

What was that Lisa?

Sorry Jeff...didn't catch that. Could you type it louder please?

 

[Xue Sheng]

Iron Maiden.... Bruce Dickinson.... singer of the song Iron Maiden

Oh Well, wherever, wherever you are,
Iron Maiden's gonna get you, no matter how far.

Never heard of em.

But now that the song 2 minutes to midnight is now coursing through my skull I think I will go out for a nice quiet walk with Eddie the monster and terrorize the countryside.

 

[tshadowchaser]

Iron Maiden was / is great to lissen to

but I still listen to Pink Floyd's Dark side of the moon and the wall every day

 

[Xue Sheng]

Sorry Jeff...didn't catch that. Could you type it louder please?

I'm not Jeff but he said

What was that Lisa?

I learned a long time ago you have to speak this way to maiden fans

 

[Carol]

I'm guessing, somehow, some of this is Lisa's fault, too

 

[Jade Tigress]

I'm guessing, somehow, some of this is Lisa's fault, too

Who's guessing?

Yeah, ain't it the truth! Wow, Jeff, your typing seems different somehow

 

[Lisa]

I'm guessing, somehow, some of this is Lisa's fault, too

Who's guessing?

EXACTLY! Glad everyone is on the same page with this one! I don't mind being responsible for Iron Maiden and deafness! I only wish I had their money!

 

[JasonASmith]

I agree with all of you, in that Iron Maiden kicks ***, however they wouldn't have kicked/are kicking *** without BLACK SABBATH!:bow: :bow:

 

[zDom]

yea... I was a big fan of Maiden, too.

Glad to hear they are back at it with Dickinson (even though I liked their first singer better: anybody remember their song "Wrathchild"? )

 

[Xue Sheng]

Yeah, ain't it the truth! Wow, Jeff, your typing seems different somehow

Sorry I forgot

I'm not Jeff

and

I STILL DON'T BLAME YOU... MR CHEW SCARES ME

Dude, this is really really funny that you posted this now. I used to listen to Iron Maiden when I was in high school and college. My tapes all wore out and I never got around to replacing them. My wife has been away for two weeks visiting her sister in London, and I was making a reassessment of our music collection. I just bought Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. I gotta say, I still love those ones. I'll probably add some more later, Powerslave is another great one, but they're expensive.

I never listened to the ones that came after Seventh Son. What do you guys all think of the later discs?

 

[matt.m]

I liked Maiden and Quiet Riot a little. However I was big time into Slippery When Wet, Pyromania, and Hysteria, topped off with a dose of Appetite for Destruction.

bruce left the band for a while, but came back for Brave New World. Those interim albums aren't so hot, but BNW was pretty okay.

If you want a heavy maiden fix without blowing a lot of cash, pick up Live After Death. It's got a lot of good cuts from Piece of Mind and earlier: Powerslave, Hallowed by thy Name, The Trooper...all the really great early maiden.

Yeah, that was my take. I think I had Fear of the Dark for a while, but I just couldn't get into it. I thought there was a changeup in the band lineup, couldn't remember if Bruce had left or one of the guitarists, or something. But if they are back together again and making more, I'll probably check those ones out. I'll just check the band members on each disc, I guess.

I think I had a copy of Live after Death, good stuff, live concert versions of a lot of the older stuff. I'll have to gradually rebuild my collection again...
