CNN ^ | May 9th, 2008

Saw that they finally have this up on the band's website, so I figure I'll post it to give people an opportunity to learn that not all of us metal fans are dirty, dark people who take one shower a week.

Hope you guys enjoy it.

I think I read some where that listeners of heavy metal tend to be young, male, and conservative leaning.

[darkangel82]

Awesome stuff wastedyears, surprised CNN put it up.

[darkangel82]

So in other words, typical white people?

[wastedyears]

All three of those are me.

[wastedyears]

Typical, bitter white people who cling to God and guns.

:)

[darkangel82]

That’s a change from what I usually get called(godless heathen, RINO, etc) lol.

[Kimmers]

My son listens to metal and at first “hated it” but it grew on me and now metal helps me clean the house....

Regards,

A 50 yo white conservative chick

[Wade827]

Great stuff. Thanks.

Maiden is my favorite metal band of all time.

[wastedyears]

Cool, there’s a Maiden convert on here.

:)

[wastedyears]

Same here, I know the band wouldn’t let its fans down.

Though I have to say with A Matter of Life and Death, which came out in 2006, I was skeptical at first because of the album title. But I was wrong when I heard The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg.

[RandallFlagg]

I went to a Catholic school for about a year when I was around 11-12 years old.
One of the priests allowed me to play the church organ when it was empty.
One afternoon, I was playing the riff for, “The Number Of The Beast,” and the priest said he liked the way the rhythm sounded.

[arderkrag]

That’s me! My favorite group right now is Dragonforce.

[arderkrag]

Yep. It just gets worse if you play D&D and read Harry Potter while listening to metal. Then you're "corrupting the youth of America".

[wastedyears]

Did you tell him what song the rhythm was from?

[darkangel82]

I have that cd on my desk right now, with 2 others on my cd shelf.

[wastedyears]

Sweet

I don’t mean to brag, but I can play songs off every one of their studio albums.

[darkangel82]

I wish I could brag back but I am musically illiterate, sadly.

[danmar]

Maiden is my favorite metal band of all time.

Try Manowar.

[darkangel82]

Manowar who put an album out once every five years?

[RandallFlagg]

Didn’t have to. He already knew.
It’s not a satanic song, and he knew this.
He was a good and wise man.

[Grizzled Bear]

Metal Ping List!

[wastedyears]

Add me please

[wastedyears]

That’s a good priest.

[rollo tomasi]

I saw this on Fox News.

Good business plan if you ask me.

“Yep. It just gets worse if you play D&D and read Harry Potter while listening to metal.”

Thanks. You just described my adolescence in a single sentence. (Except for me it was watching Star Trek rather than reading Harry Potter.)

*sigh*

Oh, and, agreed. Iron Maiden was my first favorite band. You never forget your first.

[arderkrag]

Hehe! The bad thing is, I’m married, have a successful career, and a “real” life and I [u]still[/u] do those things!

[Incorrigible]

 

 

[RachelFaith]

You’d better scratch me...
from your black book,
‘Cause I’ll run rings around you!!

Great Post !!

METAL CHIC 4 LIFE !!

[Mr. Jeeves]

I suppose CNN covers Bruce Dickinson's second career as an airline pilot for British Midland when Iron Maiden is not on tour?

I'm going to see Rush tonight - for the second time in a week. Honestly, they look and sound better now than they ever have.

[danmar]

Manowar who put an album out once every five years?

And your point is...

[Grizzled Bear]

You’re added! Don’t be surprised if it takes a long time to hear anything. It’s a low volume ping list.

[darkangel82]

ping

[wastedyears]

Certainly a great business plan.

[wastedyears]

I was wearing that shirt this morning.

[wastedyears]

Oh man, I want to see Rush too.

But no ticket and no easy way to get upstate NY or NJ.

[wastedyears]

That’s fine by me.

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Add me to your Metal Ping List too, please.

[Grizzled Bear]

You're in!

It's a low volume ping list so be patient.

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Thanks, Grizzy!

[RockinRight]

I want in!

[RockinRight]

I’m a white collar college grad and a total metalhead.

[wastedyears]

Awesome

[Grizzled Bear]

You’re in!

[BikerTrash]

You’re in!
