Favourite inside jokes?

What are some of your favourite recurring inside jokes that only Maiden forum fans would know? For me, it has to be that Steve Harris played drums on Virtual XI.

That Cried is Buckethead and Shadow is a nameless ghoul.

Stupid rumour. Only a GREAT MUSICIAN would believe it.

Jazz..

"Juanita" being the "go-to" guess when we're stumped in the "Guess the Iron Maiden song" game.

Two Killer crew members who were out in Copenhagen back in 2011 told us two members of the band wore wigs. To this day I'm still unsure if they were joking or not. Then again, what are the chances that 6 guys approaching their 70's still can grow long hair?

I'd wager a couple might be using extentions, like Steven Tyler has done for ages. Dave's probably done something (maybe moved around some hair follicles like Blaze did), but it's definitely not a wig; the hairline is pretty high.

I would believe that Steve Harris wears a wig.

Edit: Janick as well. Those seem like the most likely two.

I'd definitely believe a few of them have had work done on their hair, but honestly I'm not dedicated enough to start analyzing hours of footage over the years to determine if anyone's hairline or bald spot have mysteriously changed in the wrong direction over the years.

2008 and 2018. The hairline that came back!


Bonus material - the most obvious wig in rock. I give you Marky Ramone!

The hair is cut and arranged differently is all. The hairline is roughly the same, although less top forehead strand; you can see it in recent tour pics when the bangs are sweaty and tilted. Something is different though.

Steve’s hairline has moved significantly, so unlikely; he could be sporting extentions though.

My favorite inside joke is the Rod Smallwood "DELETE" meme.

I'd post the picture but I can't find it...

Periodically, I use the forum search function for "Bruxit" to see how frequently GhostofCain has ridiculed Bruce for his stance on the Brexit vote. Good fun!

He needs some new material, sounds like.

It would be interesting to hear Bruce's take on a Scottish UK-exit.

I can't imagine anything less interesting than hearing Bruce make comments on another area of politics he has no idea about.
