Iron Maiden, however, has never fit the accepted mold, nor followed the rules. And with its brilliant new “road movie” “Flight 666,” the band shows no sign of doing so — now or ever.

Oh, yes, there are some universal rules that even the "original" metal bands follow...that all bands follow...

“’Iron Maiden: Flight 666’”

If heavy metal groups are still dumbfounded over why squares keep insisting they’re Satanists, maybe they should stop making up titles like this.

Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Heavy Metal Kids, Guns and Roses, Metallica, etc. Place above ingredients in a blender. Press “puree” for 5 minutes. Server Chilled.

Heard one, you’ve heard ‘em all.

Sam Dunn knows his documentary business. He is currently wrapping up production on Rush: The Documentary as well due this Fall. I can’t wait to see the Maiden one.

I met them all during the 7th son tour. Here's my personal observations:

Bruce-wee bit of an a$$, but honestly not too bad and he could've just been having a bad day.
Dave Murray-can't say too much...he was freakin' hammered! T'was a REAL good after show party!
Nicko-nice guy, patient with his fans and I don't recall him NOT smiling.
Adrian Smith-I quite literally spent almost an hour talking guitars and gear with him. Even though there was an after show party going on, he didn't seem terribly interested in all that. Seemed very content just sit there and shoot the bull with me. Very nice guy and he was a hoot.
Steve Harris-Incredibly down to earth, patient with his fans and giving of his time. And VERY bright.

International IRON MAIDEN Day, at last! Thanks for the thread.

Since it isn’t in a Theatre close enough, guess we’ll have to settle for our t-shirts and cranking MAIDEN all day!

Very original band in a genre that doesn't admit of much originality sometimes. When Dream Theater covers your stuff you're not just another bunch of thrash screechers. And yes, I do take that as a measure.
