The Democrats denounced Bush when he made the same arguments for the same reasons that they are now making. Kerry in particular demanded that Bush get allies on board, and congressional and UN approval in 2003. Now he says allies and congressional and UN approval don't matter in 2013. What...

I think it's a pretty safe bet to say the government is lying, no matter which country you're talking about. Putin is an old-style KGB popagandist, and 0bama is no better.

I said Nicko's drumming is more cerebral (in comparison to Clive) because he has a high level of detail worked into his phrasing and a fairly complex structure, switching tempo and time signature on a dime. Nicko's drumming interacts with the other instruments on a peer level, rather than just...

Strange, yes. But this is the same band that a year later went on tour to support a video game. The '90s were a bad time for Maiden and music in general.

Rand Paul has it exactly right that the US has no vital interests in Syria, which has traditionally been the deciding factor for whether or not a country gets involved in a conflict. Getting involved in Syria is the ultimate "world policeman" action. And 0bama was supposedly an anti-war...

Syria is a complete disaster for Maiden. How is Bruce supposed to write a kickass song about 0bama and Camoron talking tough then wimping out?

Clive's style was looser, edgier, more toms, more raw energy. It rumbled and rang open. Definitely a punk influence to it. Nicko's style is straight up prog rock, very technical, tight, clean, complex, plenty of change-ups in beat division, tempo, and time signature. He's right there with Neil...

I've seen this sentiment expressed a bit on this forum, and I'm a bit puzzled by it. X Factor is pretty much crap, and not just because of Blaze. But yeah, he's a huge part of why. He sounds like he's got no business being on a Maiden record and he knows it. I can empathize with the guy, but...

Bruce's mustache in Samson was most certainly NOT influenced by what was going on in punk! Lol! I actually don't know too much about American music of the time. I think disco and Linda Ronstadt were all the rage. I know Van Halen and the Ramones, but that's about it. American music has never...

I think the album Killers overall is more punk than even their first album. And this was 1981, which is definitely after the punk explosion. Punk had already run its course by 1980. Punk's big years were '76 through '79, particularly in England. Perhaps the parting with Paul had something to do...

Children of the Damned. After Hallowed Be Thy Name, this is a real highlight of Number of the Beast, but it seems to get overlooked. Invasion. Before there was Invaders, there was Invasion, and it's punk as fuck. This song easily proves Steve Harris a liar when he claims Maiden were never punk...
