Not sure about their posting rules so I'll leave this as-is.

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.

[wastedyears]

Hope this post is up to snuff.

Metal ping, Grizzled.

EDDDDDIIIIEEEEE!!

[ßuddaßudd]

Man, I really do like Iron Maiden’s first album.
(I know what Im playing during happy hour tonight.)

[brytlea]

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.

[edcoil]

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

[WakeUpAndVote]

Put them in the Iron Maiden.

"their drummer, Nico McBrain is a Christian and in fact attended our church"

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.

[struggle]

>>Put them in the Iron Maiden.

EXCELLENT!!!!

[brytlea]

I don’t know any others, but I’m sure there are more. I think he gave is testimony at SRCS once, but I may be misremembering. I’m old...hehehe

I believe that Billboard is okay to use.

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.

[discostu]

It’s a solid album. Good tour too. Maiden, older than dirt and still kickin butt.

Rock and Roll PING

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.

[GlockThe Vote]

Dave mustaine.

[circlecity]

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

[evets]

Stevie Ray Vaughn became a Christian.

(Went home 20 years ago today.)

[brytlea]

I don’t know if he’s a golfer, but he does live somewhere down here.

[I Buried My Guns]

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."

[bassmaner]

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.
