I'm thinking you don't really know who Iron Maiden is if you are saying that.

Since my election as prez for the Local 101, we have started a fund raiser to do just that.
I expect our "Have You Hugged A Bigot Today?" line of sportswear to be a smashing hit. :)

We also are producing one line of clothing especialy designed for one of our more vocal readers from across the pond. It is the "Tootle Pippage With Your Lippage" line. :rofl

Nah, just tired of your hate. Serioulsy, open any thread you comment in and you are hating on someone, some ethnic group, or this game and constantly bashing the players that don't fly your style.   It's all about shooting zombies  and the second coming of a civil war with you.



And then you come in this thread and start talking trash about music you seem to have no clue about. It's laughable.
Who the hell cares what a musician wears or looks like, if you love the music enjoy it. Maiden has made some classic tunes and riffs.

And no, I haven't worn my music T's or  had my hair long since my teens.

Don't see a single M16 except the logo (which isn't all that bad), but see Greaseguns, a Thompson and a garand.   Never been a huge Maiden fan but some tunes are great.  No need to rip on Metal.   I hate Country music just as much as you hate metal, but have never typed it on here because there is a time and place for it.   That time hasn't come yet.

I don't see the M-16. I see a Thompson, what looks like an MP-40, and possibly an M-1 Garande, but I don't see the M-16.

Why not man? Dig out those T's and go see a show. You know that the "among the living" era Anthrax has gotten back together and they're touring? Not stadium shows either. It's as if these gods-of-metal bands broke up long enough to growup as individuals and then regrouped.

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.

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.
