I bought X Factor on the day of release and am still just about getting into it thirteen years later. Talk about a "grower"! ---------------- Now playing: Aerosmith - Make It via FoxyTunes

Ah, I saw him when Pantera opened for Megadeth in the pre-prima-donna days, I must admit he does sound like a bit of an arse on the 101 Live Proof album too. Consider Big Phil to be retracted under advice, I'm making him go and sit with Sebastian Bach and Ginger Wildheart on the Would Be Great...

Absolutely, thank you very very much!

DLR and Steven Tyler are the best frontmen I've seen live but honourable mentions must go to Lemmy, Phil Anselmo and Zach De La Rocha for their larger than life onstage presence. Doug Pinnick of Kings X radiates a feeling that he's so happy that you personally turned up to see the band, never...

I must respectfully butt in here, I feel Bruce Dickinson has never sung better than on Piece Of Mind. Quest and Sun And Steel still have a slight whiff of suck about them though.

I agree, Stalin was responsible for far more deaths than Hitler, but he never lost a war. Germany is confronting its history in a way that other countries with dark pasts (including the UK as well as Russia) have failed to do.

All very interesting stuff Perun, I suppose revolutionary theory and democratic practice are impossible to reconcile. But regarding the DDR isn't it at least partly the case that unemployment in the old East is still very much a problem, and that this has led to an exodus of young women to...

That's a deal! You know, I've been thinking about this for a couple of days and I keep getting drawn to the long list of attempted revolutions in Germany; the two that stand out for me in terms of Democracy are 1848 (when of course there technically wasn't a Germany) and 1918-1919, (where women...

I love Germany! I have been to Berlin four times already (will be going again in March), also to Frankfurt a couple of times and to Lubeck as well. I even went with my in-laws for a Christmas trip somewhere on the Rhine in 06. I have found people in Germany to be terribly polite but very...

When I was at a shoddy old sons-of-military boarding school (around the time Powerslave came out) I had a big old ghetto blaster and a set of big chunky retro headphones with the obligatory curly lead; I used to listen to tapes on that every minute I got, mainly Rush, Maiden, Priest, Ozzy and...

Hi all, I'm rolpol... I got into Maiden when I saw a brief snippet of Aces High on Top Of The Pops nigh on a quarter of a century ago...God knows how much money Steve and Rod have had off me since then!  ;) I have a team, Melodious Thunk near the bottom of the Maiden Fans fantasy football...

I remember Jan was introduced as the new boy during the usual band introductions in the encore, and got a huge cheer. His impact was huge, I'd never seen Dave Murray move around so much before but I guess it would have been embarrassing to be the only sod other than Nicko rooted to the spot! I...

Blaze had a good-natured nag at the guys in the balcony during Wolfsbane's set, asked if the oxygen was too thin for them to stand up and make some noise! I remember Bruce threatening to kick a stage-divers head in late on in the show too, the poor kid ran up the back and hid! Great show all...

First time seeing Maiden - Donington '88. We were miles back from the stage, but thankful for all that when I heard the news afterwards. It's still my favourite gig ever. First time indoors - Southampton 1990, first 'proper' date of the Intercity Express tour. We were right down the front, I...

Many thanks for posting the mp3s!
