I didn’t understand what this all was about but yeah she seemed super disrespectful and judgyKicking off on Reddit? I don't believe it!

How many times do we need to explain to you that she has a history of endorsing these views and posting xenophobic and right wing content? That's not up for debate. That is factual. Nothing "nebulous" about that. No "conspiracy theories". We are talking about things she is publicly posting on social media.
I'll repeat: Criticizing Leana for her own actions and her shitty views is not misogynistic and is entirely valid and fair. If you have a problem with that, this is your issue. I'm not gonna stop calling out bullshit when I see it![]()
Fucking finally, thanks!I made a thread for you guys. You're welcome.
Have your argument started to get heated in a Maiden thread somewhere that is at least somewhat off-topic? Is it getting in the way of the thread, but is nonetheless a matter that you think is worthy of discussing? Do you have a case that doesn't warrant its own thread in the General section? Fear not.
Consider moving it here. Argue away for all I care, but please try and keep the other threads clean. No, I'm not a mod, I don't decide anything, but I have been here for 20 years and I just want to have a nice experience chatting about Maiden and whatever.

The night Iron Maiden’s Steve Harris joined Def Leppard to cover Creedence Clearwater Revival
This one-off union of two British rock superstars actually happenedwww.loudersound.com
Wow, that is nothing short of awesome.I wish I had witnessed that. A bit difficult considering I was 12 years old back then and living on a different continent though.
I absolutely love Creedence Clearwater Revival. John Fogerty is, arguably, the best rock songwriter of all time.
Wow, that is nothing short of awesome.
Yeah, Fogerty is one of my favorite artists, singers and song writers. I was blessed with the opportunity to see him live 1 or 2 summers ago. It was surreal, and while his voice was weathered and a bit soft at his advanced age, he still sang well and I had a majestic time. Why Bruce hasn't covered something like Have You Ever Seen The Rain is beyond me.
Leppard wrote/write a lot of love songs. They're also better looking. I'm pretty sure that's it.What do we think could be the reason for that? I suppose Maiden has always been a bit nerdier, similar to many prog (or nowadays power metal) bands. Songs about books, shows, movies and history rather than sex or women.
We have the obvious exceptions like Prowler of course, but on the same album there's Phantom Of The Opera.
And before anyone misunderstands me: Women can obviously be just as nerdy and into those things as men can be. I'm not trying to suggest that women have shallower tastes and thus gravitate to shallower music (if we want to judge stuff like Def Leppard in that way, I guess). Maiden have never struck me as an overly macho band for example. That's something I'd associate with Pantera or something.
Currently going through the World Slavery bootlegs, particularly the US shows. For some reason Bruce had this shtick, where he'd call out one member in the audience saying he's the ugliest man he's ever seen and picking on that random dude. He also had this "cute" story when introducing the band members, about Nicko being so ugly that he had to wear a mask because no one would be able to survive the view. Said "mask" being Nicko's actual face.Leppard wrote/write a lot of love songs. They're also better looking. I'm pretty sure that's it.
They're also better looking.
What, y'all weren't captivated by Bruce's spandex-clad groin?That is all. You want to put up posters of your stars.
