    So does anyone know how the paperless entry works?

    Paperless ticketing worked out well for me in Tulsa. Even with a credit card that had been closed due to fraud. They swiped it, and it just worked. I got a real time ticket (slip of paper) printed out. I had time to stand in line to buy some merch, wait in the long line to the men's room, find...

    The Angel and the Gambler

    When I first heard VXI, this song immediately stood out as non-Maiden-like, and easily hateable at first. For a lot of the reasons posted here by those who only heard the song a few times. But I kept coming back to this song because I couldn't fathom why Iron Maiden would create a song like...

    Your Maiden blasphemy

    "To Tame A Land" is my favorite on POM, and for a long time, it was my favorite Maiden track. For some reason at the time, I had skipped from Powerslave all the way to BNW and when first hearing it I was immediately drawn to "The Nomad". The fourteen second intro before the momentary pause is...

    Iron Maiden songs that you flat out dislike?

    The lyrics do not repeat, they alternate [EDIT: not in words, but in meaning]: Don't you think I'm a saviour? Don't you think I can save you? Don't you think I can save your life? vs. Don't think I'm a savior. Don't think I can save you. Don't think I can save your life. Once you grok that the...

    Iron Maiden songs that you flat out dislike?

    I'm with you on this mostly. I can't say I hate it, but it's quite likely #161 on my list (post-TBOS). It does have its moments, even if they are only from about 1:48 to 2:18. #160 thru #155 would include: Weekend Warrior, Hooks in You, From Here to Eternity, Chains of Misery, Holy Smoke and...

    Misheard lyrics

    Listen to Shadows of the Valley, in particular 1:29-1:30. What Bruce is singing doesn't seem to me to match the lyric "Playing a tune to the old man's laugh" I hear "playing a tune to the old mental math" What do you hear?

    Custom Compilations (Playlists)

    To Tame a Land is one of Iron Maiden's best. It should definitely be here, in place of Die With Your Boots On.
