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.

By all accounts he's a tame guy.

Ok. Didn't know that. Only knew about Jerusalem (had friends who lived there).

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.

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.

You know what, I might take you as legitimate on this issue if you took the time to read their lyrics or at least listen to a few of their tunes.

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

"I hope Rob Halford is watching his @ss..."

Halford is watching any hairy @ss he can get -- especially if it's leather and backless....

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....

Can't say that I did. I had a poster for Slayer "Reign in Blood", also one of Megadeth's "Peace Sells" cover (another corpse) on the third wall. :) I was a morbid teenage, probably explains why I'm a death historian now. :)
