"Instead, there is nothing but a raw dose of five young men living a virtually homeless, penniless existence on the mean streets of LA in the mid-to-late 1980s."

Bah! Their lyrics and music were nothing new or revealing. They sounded like late seventies/early 80's hard rock bands, reminiscent of Riot and of course Aerosmith as well as AC/DC.



is my pick. Helped get me in A in a English Lit. and History as well.

Yeah, but that’s only because Iron Maiden helped all the hippies who teach English think they’re cool. “Run to the Hills” is a perfect example of a song where the author is trying to express his hatred for America by seeing us through the eyes of our victims, but ends up so condescending, he has to flip POV just to avoid complete drivel. “Oh, those evil white men gave us alcohol. Now come one college frat boys, drink up!!!”

All my English teachers under 50 loved that band too. And they were all hippy losers.

Not that it’s not a fun song... but the band’s lyrics are sorta like Hannah Montana trying to fit in with the commie click at a new school.

I don’t know, I love Iron Maiden, but that Number of the Beast song seemed to be ‘selling out’ to the “superbad Satanists” trend of the time.
