That would have been sweet to have been there to witness that!

I'm not going to lose sleep over missing this.

Thanks fonz!
Nicko looks great playing on non Maiden tunes too.

 

[Perun]

and clever takes on MAIDEN songs, like "Run to the Hills" wings.

How is that clever?  


No, I can't accept that. That isn't clever, it's lazy. "Clever" takes on Maiden songs would be something like "Tea of Madness", "Bun to the Hills", "Infinite Beans", "Bruce Chickenson", "Blaze Bailey's", "Steve Haggis", "No Poultry for the Dying". "Beef New World" or "Beer of the Dark". And I wasn't even trying, those came from the top of my head. Come on Nicko, you're British. You should come up with something better than "Run to the Hills wings".

 

[rokyronnie]

That's nice.. but I can say
Bruce, Bruce, where are you Bruce ? 

 

[Murder89]

That's right.
He should try another singer if he wants to play Maiden songs next year. 

 

[Mosh]

can't believe that place has been open a year now.

No, I can't accept that. That isn't clever, it's lazy.

Wrong. It may not be clever, but it's also certainly not lazy. Here's why.

This is a rib joint in Florida. It's a rock 'n' roll theme, not just Maiden. Some of the food you mentioned isn't even on the menu. (Of course I know that wasn't your point. )

How many people in Florida will get your references? "Infinite Beans", to the average American, will mean all-you-can-eat beans.

Wings are going to be one of the most popular dishes at any rib joint. If you're going to get a well-known Maiden reference in somewhere, it's got to be RTTH, and the wings is a great place for it.

It's all sales and marketing, dude. Keeping the joint open takes priority over clever.

 

[Perun]

Then how about "Toast of the Navigator" or "Lime of the Ancient Mariner"?

Fried of Icarus; that certainly can viewed as "wing" themed.

"The Wings of the Beast", surely that would work better than "Run to the Hills wings"? I'm fairly sure that Number of the Beast or even Fear of the Dark references would work just as well.

 

[chaosapiant]

How about a chili recipe called "The Pooper?!"  Eh?  Eh? 

 

[tyrantchef]

You know, I think the article got it wrong. I don't think they are called RTTH wings per se, I think RTTH is a level of hotness you can choose, as in mild; medium; hot; RTTH!

 

[rokyronnie]

I can't stop laughing about those song names 
Ballad of cheeseburger

 

[Perun]

Lord of the Fries

That would actually be a nice name for a fast food stall. When they close, they can put up a sign reading "No More Fries".

Spoiler

And then you'd go to the nearby bar, From Beer to Eternity.

 

[Unknown One]

Actually, In Melbourne's CBD there are "Lord of the Fries" stalls
I think there's about half a dozen or so scattered around the city.

 

[Deano]

There should be a sign outside reading "Where Chickens Dare".
