The lead singer of Iron Maiden is a born again Christian who was rescuing Christians from Lebanon a few years back.
Interesting fact.
Apparently Megadeth too . . .
In 2004, Mustaine said he would vote for President Bush because John Kerry would "ruin our country." -- In 2011, he called President Obama "the most divisive president we've ever had. I've never, in my 50 years of being alive, listened to an American president try and turn one class of people against another class of people."
He was also nearly a world class fencer, who probably could have made the British Olympic squad, had he been willing to put Iron Maiden on hold. He also holds a commercial pilot license, and actually pilots the Iron Maiden tour plane (in the left seat!) Their chartered plane is "Flight 666 on 'Ed Force One.'" It's weird to see him do it, because when he does, he wears his pilot uniform.
