Very true, I've never seen a forum before this one, let alone a heavy metal forum, where there was actually a rule mandating good grammar. I think that says a lot about how intelligent this forum is and how intelligent this segment of Maiden's fanbase is. If anyone ever says that all metalheads...

The most interesting thing for me in that link is: "I had a quick chat with Blaze in Istanbul, before his performance in Rock The Nations Istanbul. (Where he did a duet with Paul DiAnno) And in that chat he said that he had written some of the lyrics of Dream of Mirrors but Steve didn't give...

It is somewhat interesting that Adrian has been so silent, given that as far as I can tell, Bruce has been fairly positive about the Blaze Bayley era (I believe saying something to the effect that he would be proud to sing songs from that era). I would take that, as people have said, that Adrian...

My response would be: "There are large segments of the population who believe that all art should be Naturalist and that anything portraying heroic images of any variety, let alone those of Hugo's pure Romanticism, is tripe; but that does not mean that they are right." Those are the exact same...

The Flash, I have much enjoyed your writings on Metallica, especially when you have remarked that they are "underrated because of their overratedness". This post is no exception, and may be your greatest on the subject. What you stated here, very explicitly, about them having "done everything...

I also just want to mention that simplification of the music from ...And Justice for All to Metallica cannot really be used as evidence of intent to "sellout" to a commercial audience. Consider Iron Maiden's transition from Seventh Son of a Seventh Son to No Prayer for the Dying. That was...

Yeah, I don't get the "extra effort to look stupid" thing. I've seen one other person use it, before. I recall it being in a large chat, and I recall being irritated enough by his refusal to type without Every Word Being Capitalized that I left the chat. The interesting thing is, NONE of those...

Last night I went to see the new Les Misérables film not really knowing what to expect. I am unfortunately not familiar with the work of Victor Hugo (after seeing this I plan to remedy that), nor was I sure how I would feel about seeing a film presented almost entirely as a musical. When the...

Well, no, he didn't actually give me valuable insight. I was mostly joking at the irony that you used a comparison about Mustaine giving a negative opinion of Metallica when really, as a whole, he improved my opinion of Metallica. I'll just bow out now. Carry on with this debate. I mostly agree...

I have been on a Metallica-related quest for a while, and I was going to try to see if I can find any helpful Metallica superfans here before I try my luck on a dedicated Metallica forum (I would guess that most other metal band fansites are not as intellectual and friendly as this one). When I...

It's just not enough for me to make sure he is never axcepted here. I'm just so damn liberal that I can't help myself but to find everywhere he goes. I just feel I must make sure he is never excepted, but I always eccept serial killers.

Ha! That's a good description. They certainly are questionable.

I've tried to find Delta elsewhere. Never turned up there under that username, but I did find some other slightly humorous instances of him. For example, on a vaguely illegal-looking website that includes video game footage, he had the following to say: "This Mission is Hard but its easier...

Steve had some sexy striped pants for that show. Of course, no one beats Bruce in the odd pants department. I'm still not sure of what those pants he's wearing in the Rock In Rio DVD are made.

I can understand that, but I think it's pretty clear, given Paul's impending retirement, that this will be a one-time thing. I'm sure Blaze will go back to playing largely his own material after this tour.

Funnily enough, Dave Mustaine is the one who convinced me to give the Black Album a shot, since there's an interview in which he says that The Unforgiven is his favorite Metallica song. So I actually did get valuable insight into Metallica post-1983 from Dave Mustaine. :P

Well, Blaze for the most part has done his own material (with a few Maiden (and Wolfsbane) covers in the set, but again, 80-90% his own material). It's always seemed to me that he's very much about the fans, and that may well be why he's doing this tour. And, Di'Anno has stated intention to...

Because of various factors (traveling to see family, divorced parents, etc.) I am actually going to wind up having four Christmases this year, three of which have already occurred, the last of which is tomorrow. In terms of Maiden things, I got an Iron Maiden guitar strap and Hal Loenard's Iron...

A very happy birthday to Mr. Murray! (would it be too weird if I put Maiden birthdays into my calendar so I got reminders?)

Damn, that's awesome. Now I want one! That's certainly not something you see everyday, so it would definitely make a big impression. Awesome bit of Maiden for the home (or office :P) My Christmas probably won't be TOO Maiden heavy, but I have already gotten some new headphones (Audio-Technica...
