Thanks for sharing, OJ.

I think Harold was the Angel who sang "Hark!" in that old Christmas carol...

Living a healthier lifestyle than Lemmy ain't exactly the highest threshold of clean living: Charlie f'n Sheen lived a healthier lifestyle than Lemmy! (10yrs ago, his booker told me some crazy-ass stories about Lemmy's drinking. Lemmy made Ozzy look like a Mormon.) But you're right... at IM's...

I took my 10 year old, and he had an absolutely wonderful time. No regrets. It was his first-ever rock concert, too. (But I think he'll be disappointed when there aren't any giant zombies getting their hearts ripped out in future concerts. Ya know??? It'll be a letdown.) In the row in...

Yesterday I visited a Walmart (Florida) & Def Leppard t-shirts were selling for 'bout $8. No bullshit. Think that kinda sums it up: DL was much more mainstream than IM... and much more lame, too.

A man who casts no shadow... has no soul As soon as you're born, you're dying But the truth of all predictions is always in your hands In a gadda da vida, honey (oh, wait - that's Iron BUTTERFLY. Sorry)

Go to war again - blood is freedom's stain. Profound shit.

On their next album, Iron Maiden should include the song Deja vu. Not a remake: Same exact version that's already on Somewhere in Time. With no explanation given -- and then, when anyone asks 'em why, IM should feign total confusion / denial. Be kinda funny, in a sardonic / ironic /...

I AM YOUR BECKETT! (You'll be hearing from my lawyer.)

The profit-model has definitely changed. There's an American music expert / analyst / blowhard named Bob Lefsetz who advocates foregoing the album format entirely & concentrating on releasing singles intermittently, to stay current & get plays / downloads. His argument is that the album isn't...

His strength-level seems to fluctuate dramatically, with little rhyme or reason. On one hand, Eddie can beat the shit outa Satan. But on the other, he has horrible skin (highly susceptible to UV rays) & has been lobotomized multiple times.

For their next album, Iron Maiden should perform duets with Tony Bennett. For the entire album. Nothing but duets with Tony Bennett. One after another... after another... after another. Yessir. It will be HUGE.

Me either! But ya know... to be totally fair, there are only TWO kinds of countries on planet earth: Those that HAVEN'T had someone walk on the moon... and THE UNITED STATES OF FUCKING AMERICA!!! Booyah! YOU DON'T LIKE AMERICA??? THEN GO TO THE MOON, MOTHEF'ER -- AND BRING BACK OUR FLAG...

Yeah... but c'mon: NICKELBACK. Gross!!

No. Canada is the land of Nickelback & Bieber. So they're disqualified (eh). Random thought (not worthy of starting a new thread, but doesn't really fit cleanly elsewhere): I wonder if IM's "best of" legacy tour will out-draw TBOS... and if it does, would disincentivize the band from putting...

Hey, TBOS was a worldwide smash-hit & top-selling album, so no matter what **I** might think about their promotional strategy, it obviously worked out pretty well for 'em. Marketing is an outcome-based endeavor: Either it works or it doesn't. By this metric, "Light" clearly worked. But as a...

Well, I'll gladly concede that there are elements of "Speed" that are classic sounding, but it's certainly not a classic song from top to bottom -- and (IMO) wasn't the best way to showcase, promote or build interest in TBOS double-album. I'm perplexed that they led with it. At its best, TBOS...

Yeah... I wonder why IM chose to make a video for "Speed" when there were other tracks off that album that were so much better. Ok, I get that "Empire" & "Book of Souls" might've been kinda long length-wise, but there was intense interest in other songs, like "Tears" 'cause of the subject...

99.99% of all NFL players went to college. (Granted, it might be a dopey college like the University of Alabama, but still.) Anyway, where can I go online to read the PhD dissertation of David Beckham? That guy is a GENIUS.

Sorry, guess I was acting all unilaterally again. All in good cheer. Peace & love! Like Bruce Dickinson said in the last tour, we're all part of the Iron Maiden family, and... uh... well, I didn't understand the rest of what he said, 'cause he had a funny accent. But I'm sure it was very...
