World Cup of Maidenfans 2.0: Opening Round 30

[Brigantium]

Lol! He said 'cocky'!

 

[Black Wizard]

I wasn't going to mention that. I felt that making another joke of that ilk would have put me in a sticky situation.

That's a long shot.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Ok Cried, but you can take the blame for this one ok?

Oh cod, this is incredibly hard...

That's what she said.

That was okay. Did you not mean something more along the lines of:

Ok Cried, but you can take the blame for this one ok?

Oh cod, this is incredibly hard...

Aye, that's what your Maw said last night too!

 

[Perun]

Scotsmen...

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Scotsmen...

... you can't live with them, you can't live without them?

...would have put me in a sticky situation.

I'm sure one could have advanced the joke further...

 

[Perun]

True enough. As long as you keep that Scotch coming, you're *free* to do whatever you like.

 

[Rotam]

GNR.

Though i laugh at the current band. His Mickey Mouse performance is hilarious.

 

[Luke]

GnR has Appetite For Destruction, nothing else, and should've died along with the 80s.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

GnR has Appetite For Destruction, nothing else, and should've died along with the 80s.

They were hardly a band of the eighties.

 

[Luke]

I know that album was '87, but "1985–present" and this:

Don't tell me they're not 80's man.

 

[Brigantium]

We could always bring out the old Maiden pictures...

 

[Crimson Idol]

GnR has Appetite For Destruction, nothing else, and should've died along with the 80s.

The Use Your Illusion albums are equally as good as AFD. I also like Chinese Democracy a lot, I just feel it should've been released under the name Axl Rose instead of GnR.

Don't tell me they're not 80's man.

They're not 80's, man.

1985 was when they formed. This is like saying Maiden are a 70's band. They're most successful period was (at the beginning of) the 90's. Nirvana, were they an 80's band too? No. Metalllica & Megadeth, are they 80's bands? etc etc

 

[Perun]

What's an 80's band?

 

[Luke]

They're not 80's, man.

1985 was when they formed. This is like saying Maiden are a 70's band. They're most successful period was (at the beginning of) the 90's.

Maiden didn't have an official release until 1980(besides one demo in late 1979) and didn't even solidify their lineup until the 80's either.

I understand what you're saying, but that doesn't exclude them from being lumped into movements in their respective time periods. I would agree with you if they had formed in like, '89 or so, but they are smack-dab in the middle of the 80's.
GnR was apart of that glam, hard rock trend that included bands like Motley Crue, who are most certainly an 80's band.

Nirvana, were they an 80's band too? No.

Nirvana formed in '87 and a vast majority of their music was released in the 90's, along with the fact they were in the grunge trend; of course they aren't.

Metalllica & Megadeth, are they 80's bands? etc etc

I would say yes. Both were formed in the early 80's, and were apart of the thrash movement that, obviously, blew up in the 80's. Just because they are still active and releasing music doesn't really excuse that.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

What's an 80's band?

A band that Sabaton sounds like?

 

[Black Wizard]

Rumour has it that you can hear the 80s in Sabaton.

 

[Ariana]

But can you hear Sabaton in the 80s?

 

[Perun]

I will postulate that you can hear the 80s in Sabaton, but you can't hear Sabaton in the 80s.
