Since I haven't been proud to be an American since November 2nd, 2008, their new album reaching #4 on the US chart makes me proud to be one again.

I totally don’t listen to this music, but their drummer, Nico McBrain is a Christian and in fact attended our church. He also showed up once as the praise band drummer. Cool.

Every time I hear the name Iron Maiden I always think of Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

This would make for a cool thread, "rockers who went Christian". I know Alice Cooper, Mark Farner and I'm sure many others I can't think of now have bee born again.

Isn’t Nico a big golfer and lives in S. FL.

I do not know their music but Bruce Dickinson is a neat guy. He is an airline pilot on the side. Seems like a really nice guy.

So how much radio airplay (outside of Z-Rock) has Iron Maiden received over the decades?

Grammys?

And they can still hit #1.

Big Media is not amused.

I’m pretty sure one of the guys in the band “Kansas” did also. Maybe Kelly Livgren.

Stevie Ray Vaughn became a Christian.

The sole Bible verse I can spit out automatically without even thinking, I got from Iron Maiden:

"Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea, for the Devil sends the beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short... Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast for it is a human number, its number is Six hundred and sixty six."

Maiden bump.

Saw them at the Holmdel NJ Performing Arts Center 7/11. They didn't do enough of the classics but it was a great show nonetheless.
