[kj] Iron Maiden

[P Bernardi]

Dickinson and Roth (at least in my long ago teenage mind) are light 
years apart.

I fucking hated van halen. if there ever was a pussy poser band it was them.
every redneck hick douche bag was tea bagging that over rated band.

sure, theres some cool guitar shiz, but that rhythm section bored me to 
tears and did any lead singer of van halen ever have anything 
interesting to say? yeah, you made your lyrics up on the spot, day of 
recording - we can tell. thanks.

despite all their over the top-ness. at least, Maiden were imaginitive 
and Steve Harris is killer (pun intended) bass player.

i gots to stop drinking and reading emails....
