Marketing can sometimes play a part too remember though, remember that AMOLAD was released shortly before an album tour, they can delay it all they want to this end (as well as attempting to avoid other major album releases and try to catch Christmas sales, etc). This applies to pretty much...

The band sells T-shirts for a profit, the fact that they are aimed at fans rather than just anyone is logic, not a particular ideal the band is trying to push or anything. Its hardly "insulting" to the band if a person who isn't a fan buys a T-shirt, in the end, the band made money, they gain...

I'm of two minds about jaywalking (seeing as its now become the topic), I regularly do it as do many other students around Manchester and probably the rest of the UK. On the one hand, it should be allowed because there are too many times when the road is empty and I can easily tell there is no...

I think this is really the key to the discussion. Its more about how the average person interprets the act and respecting this. Ideally, you should be able to make whatever symbolic gesture you like but this is as irrational as those who would prefer to be close-minded when it comes to religion...

I don't really care, not bothered who number 1 is and who it will be or who it was, regardless if its Christmas or not. I don't listen to popular radio and I'm not paying attention when I do hear it. At the very least money is going to charity though, but the "goal" is irrelevant for me. Its not...

I think you're confusing the expression "childhood hero/idol", or rather, missing the first word out. You can idolise someone younger than you, its just more common to idolise someone older because seeing someone as your hero is seen as something we do when we are younger. Its not impossible for...

I think its safe to say most of us here are open minded enough not to follow that line. I agree with the sentiments that it seems rather pointless to have a Hall of Fame when no one pays attention to it, neither the general public nor music enthusiasts. The problem of diluting such awards...

I guess it purely depends on your views on Hitler and the Nazis. If you take offense or find the subject a little too emotional, you'd take it as a low blow and hence would see it as lowering the quality of the argument. If you were less effected by such a comparison, you'd be more inclined to...

I wonder what the psychology is behind why people believe or start end of the world theories? The only end of the world theory I believe in is that eventually the Sun will turn into a Red Giant and consume the Earth. And thats only from what I have been taught in physics and the simple fact...

Seventh Son has always been a christmas/winter album for me, but that was only because I bought it at that time, and possibly the artwork helped. But really, none of it is especially season-orientated for me. I'll agree on the Van Halen summer thing though. I'll also say that Adrian's Psycho...

I so dearly wish to respond to this question in future with "the music of my V12 naturally aspirated Lamborghini Miura". In the meantime, nothing at the moment as I have no car as I won't be able to afford the insurance for one for a few years yet.

Bruce and Ian Gillan would be my vote, he was the best singer for Black Sabbath in my opinion. Ozzy is heavily over-rated as a singer, I can't imagine how horrible he would be at singing anything by Iron Maiden, even the low Blaze stuff. Not to mention Bruce idolizing Ian. The Rock Aid Armenia...

For once a random comment from me - the guitarist on the left is using the same guitar I started out with (Crafter Cruiser CJ400)  :yey:

On my birthday, awesome :D

No Patrick McGoohan = no good. What made the Prisoner great was McGoohan's acting and script writing, especially his views on many things. Anything else will pale in comparison and I do not have high hopes. Thus for me it will be impossible for anyone to ever recreate the Prisoner, unless its...

Iron Maiden song names should never be abbreviated, this is why. The point of abbreviation is to save time, not cause the reader to spend longer working out what the hell you're on about.

I think you already know the why. The usual - violence sells, people like different degrees of realism, hence the depiction of vivid and gorier death. I really feel like writing a paper on how we should view video games as an entertainment medium and how we draw our moral lines with it. How is...

Its good to have an intelligent, non-argumentive discussion for a change  :ok: Long posts are fine if they are made with some good grammar - so no problem!

I wasn't expecting an answer, I was merely making a point. You decided to focus on my referring to the award becoming somewhat worthless, which was only a part of my main argument. I agree, some want to see him fall, but then they aren't the people who will be disappointed. I also agree not...

Basically most of Adrian's parts up till 2.30 are from his intro to "Silver and Gold" on the Entire Population of Hackney bootleg. As for the name, perhaps it came from this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walking_on_Glass It seems like a Maiden-thing to do, they decided to integrate a guitar...
