Priest of the Holy Wristband
I've long wanted to open a thread to discuss Maiden related books. I've seen that several members of the forum have recently bought Loopy's book (Loopy world: The Iron Maiden years), so I guess this is the right occasion. I've bought it when it was released, as I thought it would be sold out rapidly. I had the surprise to see him advertise his book recently to pay his trips to see the LotB gigs, so he didn't have the expected success.
This is a very interesting book , full of anecdotes and useful information on the dynamics within the band at its early stage, as he witnessed their rise from a semipro to a huge band. Sure, he had already given much of it in his blog, but there are quite a few additions. The weak point are (and it could have been the most interesting thing) the photos: there are many unseen pics, but no caption, which is quite frustrating. The help of a professional editor was needed. But again, among the many shit books about the band, this one is a must-read.
