Iron Maiden and boats.....my perfect combination.

[Metal_King]

Heavy metal is my passion. I have dedicated 22 of my 32 years of life to it. It has never let me down. It makes me happy. It gives me life. Come to think of it, so do boats.
On the 25th of August, I saw Iron Maiden at Long Beach Arena. In my 18 years of concert going, it was the best visual concert I have ever seen. Pictures of Eddie were all over the place. On the Marshall stacks, on each Tom-Tom, the Bass Drum, and in the background of course.
Well, tomorrow is the release date of "Dance of Death." It marks the 13th studio release in the career of what I think is the best rock 'n' roll band in history. Yeah, I know, you Zeppelin fans are busting a gut laughing right now. Yeah, I know Zeppelin is a huge influence on Maiden; but these guys have done it consistently for 24 years now. Never selling out, Maiden stays true to the heavier side of rock 'n' roll. Zeppelin could only do it for 12 years.
Let's hope this reviewer is right on the money with his critique ( Dance of Death Review ).
I will be purchasing this one at Tower tomorrow. I hope there are a few Maiden fans here. I keep wondering if I will be banging my head when I reach my 50's and 60's. I probably will.

I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND THE IRVINE AND LBC SHOW BOTH IN THE PIT. GETTING THE CHANCE TO SEE MOTÖRHEAD AND IRON MAIDEN MADE OUT TO BE TWO OF THE BEST SHOWS I'VE BEEN TO.

Piece of Mind. The first album(yes vinyl) I ever bought. Still dig 'em. Brings back memories.

Any metal rocks. Zepplin is done. Wish the radio stations would get the Led out and keep it out. I don`t see how Maiden was influenced by them in the least. Can`t wait for Sammy and Mike Anthony to bust out with a new plate.
At any rate Maiden was the first speed metal group. Metallica just followed.

Iron Maiden was is definitly one hell of a band. I also was big into ACDC and still have every single vinyl they put out. One of my favorite all time albums though was Deep Purple Made in Japan. That is what turned me on to the rock scene.
