Ban Albie for even mentioning Massachusetts in a post.

Jerusalem. What an awesome song. Dio showdown: Neon Knights (with Sabbath) v. Last in Line

Re: Iron Maiden Album Art Elimination ROUND 11 Also NOTB

Another thought on the communism angle - since Maiden loves its religion songs, I could totally see them doing a song on how someone was betrayed by the revolution. Call it "The God That Failed" and have it be from the point of view of someone whose life was destroyed, family killed, livelihood...

I think this is an AWESOME thread (at least at the start  :P) and a great idea. I'd nominate an Iron Maiden song about communism and how it destroyed lives and killed over 100 million people. Maybe basing it on the minutiae-obsessed novels of Josef Skvorecky, where life goes on but is permeated...

Cantina Band. Always go with the Cantina Band. I Want Out (Helloween) v. Dethrone Tyranny (Gamma Ray)

Talisman, not even close. Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg v. For the Greater Good of God.

OK, to set the record straight, I was never afraid of Stained Class. Painkiller, on the other hand, was pretty frightening. Coming back to Maiden creepiness, however, I think one of the macabre lines they've ever done is "the body bags and little rags of children torn in two." I also like "if...

Ban Albie because his time has run out.

Just saw this - absolute genius! I can't think of who to send it to, however, who has the same wraped sense of humor as me... and apparently all of you  :D

Recent addition to the collection: Foxy Shazam. Saw them at Brisbane Soundwave as one of the 800 openers for Maiden, and they are NUTS. Saw them again this weekend in Boston. They're Queen-like with a bit more funk, and the lead singer is flipping nuts. Check out their imo best song...

Ban th Flash because infinity is surprisingly easy to comprehend.

I was too, but that's because the media told me if I listened to it I'd automatically commit suicide.  ::)

Does anyone out there find "Fear of the Dark" creepy? I mean, it's probably the most obvious creepy Maiden song, but I don't find it that bad, although the "walking a dark road" bit really evokes the feeling. As I've posted elsewhere, I think NOTB tries to be creepy and fails miserably...

Not when I was there, at least, but they seem to think they are now  :D

Finally, something in my area of expertise :) USA (born), Canada, Bahamas, France, UK, Germany (lived there), Belgium, Netherlands, Austria, Italy, Finland, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Kosovo, Bosnia, Estonia, Russia, Georgia, Armenia (lived there), Kazakhstan...

Definitely Still Life. Probably "my life's blood is slowly draining away, and I feel I'm weaker every day."

Ha! Spot on! It's all I ever hear! Well, that and now "walkman staring back at me."

I'm also one of those few - the driving nature of the song, coupled with the scream and the subtle low harmony in the chorus make it a winner. IMHO, run to the hills is the short rocker that they wanted to do with Paul D but couldn't because he wasn't up to it. It's the perfect bridge song from...
