[Brett]

Throwing up some more of my Iron Maiden covers. Used my Striped 5150 on this again.

Enjoy!

LOL Well, I don't DISLIKE them. I just don't get into it. Never bought a record. But I love the little verse riff in this song and they have a few songs I like okay. Horror metal was never my thing. All the fake devil crap always made me roll my eyes. But they threw down some good riffage. Same with Ozzy.

Dude Maiden isn’t horror metal...at all. Haha. They have one song about that shit. Most of their lyrics are about like war and mythological stuff. They actually have some really interesting lyrics. You can get like a history lesson listening to them.

[Dave's Dreidel]

Dude, you killed that. Janick Gers better watch his spot.

[Sam Vs. Dave]

Another good one! Gotta say your song selection has been top drawer.

[DJ Work'in Hard]

Your Hair is not long enough

[Brett]

Not anymore.

Great job Brett! That guitar is kicking ass...Ha-Ha!

Is there any other band who have taken works of literature and created their own songs better than Maiden? Murders in the Rue Morgue, Phantom of the Opera, Flight of Icarus, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Number of the Beast, etc. it’s like a classic literature class with a beat!

[Brett]

I know man it’s like heavy metal literature. It’s funny.

Oh and they’re pretty good musicians too.

It was just a term I made up and you're right, it's not accurate. Their vibe is a little too contrived for me is what I'm saying. I respect their talent but their overwrought image always got on my nerves.

Looked and sounded great, as usual.
Not a Maiden fan for the most part, although like pickslide mentioned ^^^, it's not that I dislike them; rather that I'm unfamiliar with their catalog as I never owned any of it.

The humor is always there in your clips, and I think that's great!

Definitely!
