    Oh, I like your cute, adorable "futbol" sport. It's fun to watch... all those action-packed 0-1 & 0-0 games... and from what I hear, if a "futbol" player does a good job, they can marry someone kinda hot. Maybe even an ex-Spice Girl! And if an AMERICAN football player does a good job...

    Misheard lyrics

    In the Legacy, it kinda sounds like "shake of their ass" Instead of "shake of their hands." ...and in Quest for Fire, if you listen reeeeal closely, the opening sorta sounds like, "In a time when dinosaurs walked the earth"... but obviously, that's not right. 'Cause that would be stupid.

    Your Maiden blasphemy

    I'll play: Maiden's BEST "wooah-oooh-ohhh" chant is in Heaven Can Wait. BY FAR!! (Is there a best "wooah" chant thread? It'd be a really good topic. Yeah.)

    I think JP's song lengths probably helped 'em with radio play (and probably hurt IM)... but really, JP wasn't that big in America either. AC/DC was probably the biggest "foreign" act in its genre during the early 80s... discounting the hair-rockers (Def Lep, etc.) G'nR were huge, of course...

    I'm a proud, patriotic, star-spangled 'Merican, and that means I'm an expert in two things: 1. America (NFL, guns, big cars & Big Macs) 2. Ignoring the rest of the world That's just how it is here. Especially in the 80s & 90s. I can honestly say, in the 80s & 90s, I never once heard an IM...

    Alexander the Great song

    Alexander the Great song

    This song helped me in High School history: "What happened in 334 BC?" "The Mastodon King utterly beat the armies of Persia, sir." Anyone else's teachers ever play IM in class? Anyhoo, maybe Maiden will do a "deep cuts" tour one of these days (which would be freakin' AWESOME)... but barring...

    Maiden was just another metal band in America during the first Era of Bruce, but they always had a certain mystique about 'em, 'cause their shirts / merch was so bad-ass. People knew OF them, but didn't really know any of their songs. Yeah, they were popular amongst the head-banging crowd...

    Yes: He just turned 42 and can tie his shoes with (almost) no help. They're velcro shoes, but still. Next week he's applying to Harvard.

    Misheard lyrics

    I always thought "the Mastodon King" sounded kinda cool... like, maybe Alexander was almost as culturally significant as Babar? (When he died of a fever in Babylon, I'm pretty sure it was 'cause he ate a poison mushroom.) Also: Until I saw the lyrics, I thought the opening lines of Al the...
