    Yeah, that's the case. I've known Maiden for years but I started getting into them seriously when TFF came out.

    I Learned Everthing I Ever Needed To Know From Heavy Metal

    One of my favorite 'tallica songs. Anyway, what a weird coincidence. Great though  :shred:

    explain your nicks please

    Porter Moresby (more often simply called Port) is one of the three main characters in Paul Bowles' novel The Sheltering Sky (the other two are his wife Kit and their annoying follower/friend Tunner) I like Port for some aspects of his personality (his individualism, his willingness to travel)...

    The Man Who Would Be King

    This song doesn't seem to be related to the movie. In it, one of the main characters actually becomes a king. I think it might not be really important to know who's the man who would be king. In fact, to me it sounds like a fairly pessimistic song. As in: you would have become a king, but you...

    Your favourite quotes

    A guy I know once asked his grandpa why did he wear a crucifix around his neck when he didn't believe in God. The old man's answer was "I don't believe in God, but if it turns out he exists, I don't want to piss him off" “The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual crime.”...

    Holy Smoke

    For me this is 7/10. I think it's a gleefully entertaining song. I like the sarcastic lyrics and the main riff. I'm not entirely comfortable with the somewhat raw sound but it doesn't worry me much. It feels dated lyrically but that doesn't bog it down IMO.

    Smokers?

    Thanks! I'm still far from being comfortable with it though. It's the agony of the first month as a non smoker, I think. Been there before. I only hope I can keep my focus long enough to reach a safer stage.

    First rock and first metal album you heard

    A friend of mine's brother had Guns 'N' Roses' Use Your Illusion II lying around (he stole it from some other guy) so we'd play it over and over and start acting like idiots LOL. Eventually I bought it. It was my first rock album, one I still like. I was 7 back then. In 1995 (when I was 9) my...

    Maiden songs you would write

    Ok, guys, I'll explain this topic. I had this idea of coming up with song titles for Maiden songs you'd like to write if you were in the band. For example, a few days ago I read H.P. Lovecraft's Celephais, which is a short story about a man who escapes his dull, depressing life through his vivid...

    Tool

    Does anybody like them? They're one of my favorite bands and, until a few months ago, the only metal band I really liked apart from Metallica and Pantera. I like how they mix prog and metal with Middle Eastern atmospheres and psychedelic sounds (and a touch of electronica, too) My favorite album...

    Iron Maiden video interviews / shows

    If I was in Maiden, I'd cry tears of joy and have a great laugh at the same time while watching this. Such a great video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1I75v43h4s Suck on that!
