Just found this on the Megadeth site. Which was part of my point, that Megadeth and Anthrax were waining at that time as well. Heavier metal wained in popularity but the core is still strong.

According to TotalRock.com, former IRON MAIDEN frontman Paul Di'Anno was attacked during his show in Tel Aviv, Israel on Friday (Dec. 10). A crazed fan apparently got onstage, and lashed out at the shaken singer. Fortunately, Di'Anno suffering only minor injuries, and was able to finish the gig.
Di'Anno performed in Israel as part of the Heavy Metal Monsters melodic metal festival, which is scheduled to conclude tonight (Dec. 11) in Haifa, Israel.
Di'Anno is reportedly playing a very long set consisting of 70 percent IRON MAIDEN songs and 30 percent his own material.
Nope. You can see the last 10 years worth of album covers here:

By all accounts he's a tame guy.
Ok. Didn't know that. Only knew about Jerusalem (had friends who lived there).
Had that poster on my wall when I was a kid. I loved Eddie.

For some odd reason, my mother wasn't concerned that all my friends had posters of hunks on thier wall and I had posters of a corpse (Eddie). LOL.
Remember Saddam Hussein fired missiles at Tel Aviv during Gulf War I because it's considered a center of Jewish secularism and modernism. If you want to sin, fornicate, eat pork chops and live a swinging lifestyle you do it in Tel Aviv and other Israeli cities. Not Jerusalem.
I certainly wouldn't name my rock group "Killers". And have many tunes with titles including "murder" "impaler" and such. That's called accentuating the negative and it usually comes back to you. That's why the Rolling Stones and Frank Sinatra were superior to these metal guys.
Yep. No way is that evil satanic imagery. No way!
Fighting with you is not the purpose of this thread. See post #1
I'm legit and going to sleep.
Don't bother, I suspect he's one of the "Metal is Evil" trolls.
Hallowed Be Thy Name
[Harris]
I'm waiting in my cold cell
when the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life
and it doesn't have much time
Cos at 5 o'clock
they take me to the Gallows Pole
The sands of time
for me are running low
When the priest come to read me the last rites
I take a look through the bars at the last sights
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me
Can it be there's been some kind of error
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end not some crazy dream
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
It's not easy to stop from screaming
But words escape me when I try to speak
Tears they flow but why am I crying
After all am I afraid of dying
Don't I believe that there never is an end
As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Someone calls from a cell "God be with You"
If there's a God the why has he let me die?
As I walk all my life drifts before me
And though the end is near I'm not sorry
Catch my soul it's willing to fly away
Mark my words please believe my soul lives on
Please don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to see the truth
When you know that your time is close at hand
Maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down there is just a strange illusion
Halford is watching any hairy @ss he can get -- especially if it's leather and backless....
Yup..clueless, I'd say.
My mom surprisingly me gave me no grief as well; of course, I had a poster of Rob Lowe on the other wall.... :-)
OMG!!!
That just might give me nightmares...
I've been avoiding the Darryl threads because of these people.
Some of them came on every thread to harangue us.
I bet they're real joys to be around in RL....
