The Supreme Invoking Ritual of the Iron Maiden

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Goddamn it

Won't you come in to my room
Want to show you all my wares
Want to see your blood
Want you to stand and stare
See the blood begin to flow as it falls upon the floor
Iron Maiden can't be fought
Iron Maiden can't be sought....

OH WELL
Wherever, wherever you are
IRON MAIDEN gonna get you no matter how far
SEE THE BLOOD FLOW
Watching it shed
Up above my head
IRON MAIDEN
Wants you for dead

Repeat, aside from SCREAM FOR ME LOCAL PLACE

Back in the day when I switched from guitar to bass, this was the first song that I could play on bass. I was a guitarist first, mind you:

I did it all without a pick too, even though I now rely on a pick (nasty habit from when I wore contacts regularly. You will not believe how bad bass tears up your finger skin).

I get this odd feeling that you sort of like the "heavy metal" quintet known as Iron Maiden.

[AFK]

Actually, I think they are a sextet these days.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Yes. Sextet.

And Maiden? Nah, they're washed up hacks.

Thanks for the links....there's SO MANY it's nice for someone to pick out some essentials.

And, to be honest, I haven't even begun to  touch Bruce Dickinson's solo stuff.

Well....to be totally honest, I'm still fully absorbing Iron Maiden's stuff....my wife is about nine years older than me and was a Maiden fan before me.  I've decided to not let the same thing happen to my son.

But all three of us are still singing the songs from last night, today.

Maiden were/are exceptionally talented at writing hooks that stay in your head for days.  Run to the Hills being the classic example.  I can't hear that song, not even just the chorus, and not be humming that fucker for weeks. Total metal earworm.

I listened to both X Factor and Virtual XI today. I like them. Blaze isn't bad on those albums. Live, on the other hand.... he just couldn't handle the Bruce Material.

Of course, Sign of the Cross, The Clansman and Futureal sound MUCH better with Bruce.
