It's a good time to be a headbanger.


Oh definately. There is some great music and bands still putting out new material.


Oh I still have all my memorabilia and more. Tough to get a job though with people instantly stereo-typing you as some pothead loser by the music you listen to.

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

As long as we're debating the historical accuracy of WWII-era uniform clad zombified skeletons around a Cold War tank...

what kind of M16 has the magazine that far forward anyhow?  It's a nothing-rifle.

It's a piece of comic book art on an album cover, not a historical reenactment.

A. A very poorly drawn one.

B. The kind that is illustrated on the front of the tank.

Please contain answers to A, B or all of the above.
Thanks for playing the Mindless Drivel Game. :aok

Correct. The M16 has been refered to as such on many occasions.
So far you are up one wooden vampire stake and a Mickey Mouse T shirt.
Would you like to go for the Video Bonus question?

IRON MAIDEN Frontman Flying High - Aug. 11, 2003

IRON MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson recently spoke to Billboard magazine about his "second" job piloting 150-seat Boeing 737s for Astraeus Airlines in London.

Dickinson, a pilot for some 11 years, logged between 600 and 700 hours in the air for the company last year, regularly jetting back and forth from London to such locales as Egypt, Iceland and the former Soviet Union.

"When you're up at 41,000 feet at night, flying in the middle of Europe and you look down and you can see all these lights, and then you look up and you see more stars than you've ever seen before in your life, it's just amazing," he said. "You see the weather, you see thunder storms from hundreds of miles away. I get to see the best light show in the world."

Dickinson says his interest in flying picked up in the mid-'80s, after IRON MAIDEN drummer Nicko McBrain got his pilot's license. But it wasn't until 1992, when he spotted a sign at a Florida airport advertising flying lessons for $35, that things changed.

"In '93, when I left IRON MAIDEN for six years and embarked on a solo career, it did strike me that if the solo career didn't work out, I was going to be jobless," he said. "So I decided that I would go and do the airline pilot exams in Europe."

Although IRON MAIDEN have no plans of retiring anytime soon, the singer foresees a time when he'll be flying exclusively.

"When it gets to when IRON MAIDEN stops — which it will do eventually — I'm gonna have to do something until I'm 65," he said.
