Maiden settles the Hallowed Be Thy Name claim in full

[Number 6]

@Black Abyss Babe I think you're the only one here I can fully agree with.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

I don't think there's any UK legal precedence for what's being suggested, so why are you guys even entertaining the idea that it might happen?

 

[Mosh]

This is the same forum that thinks Maiden will play The Angel and the Gambler, Alexander the Great, and The Nomad on the upcoming tour.

"pay up or I'll finish you as a touring unit"

Until he runs into a pissed Maiden fan. There are several nearby (to UK) countries that have mere few months sentencing for assault and battery, even as a non-recidivist you can walk off just with parole.

I would like to think that Maiden fans are above that sort of thing. I hope so, at the very least.

So do I, but back in the 90s the Maiden propaganda machine were quite keen to boast about Steve Harris wanting to punch a journalist who had reviewed The X Factor in a way he did not like and that was met with enthusiasm by some fans.

I also hope that band and/or the fanbase doesn't get negative press from this. But, Maiden fans are metal fans and metal fans did occasionally gang up to beat other subgroups (Mex city vs emos, Santiago de Chile vs national army, etc.), it makes you wonder what kind of IQ do you need to declare yourself a moral crusader against a heavy metal icon, and also make sure that heavy metal community gets the memo.

In my country they would say - you have just put on wide pants - meaning you are attracting more attention than you could possibly handle.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Big oversized pants have that effect, that's true.

 

[Deleted member 7164]

Especially if they're full of shit.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Indeed, might attract flies too.

 

[Black Wizard]

Indeed, might attract flies too.

Flies around shit, bees around honey.

I wonder where that line was stolen from.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Who cares, just ban it!

 

[Cat Milk Supreme]

Who cares, just ban it!

Typical crackpot Liberal

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Most casual fans will hope that Steve stole most of the 90's lyrics...

EXPURGE!!

 

[Cat Milk Supreme]

I'd be keen to see the 'guide lyrics' for Public Enema Number One.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

And where did they borrow that Blaze guy from? All sounds pretty illegal to me.

 

[Deleted member 7164]

That's it, Harris and Murray are traffickers.

They asked The Angel and they Gambled on him, because Blaze was asking him if they think that he is a saviour and can save Maiden's life.

They soon realised that that's not the case.

I am fully expecting McKay to time the whole affair so that if Harris has to appear in Court (meaning they don't settle the issue outside of Court) then it will be during a Tour, which will cause problems for Maiden. Hence adding to the pressure to "settle" a potential case outside of court first (even if Maiden think they would win).

Considering that the tour is in Europe, I don't see a problem there. The band are almost always flying to gigs from London (except Janick, I believe).
