    The all new what are you doing now thread

    I'm not worried about it. Like I said, this is my second tour. I was out here in '05-'06 and it was rough back then. This time, it's actually a lot more laid back. No attacks on this base so far, and we're in one of the tougher areas (Al Anbar). It's sort of weird. Last time, it was too intense...

    The all new what are you doing now thread

    I'm also preparing for a craptacular weekend. Sitting in a little dumpy building full of guns in Iraq. For the seventh month. For the second time. Fuck my life. LOL

    Greatest Maiden decade?

    Man, the 80's for sure. Some DiAnno action, Clive was around for a spell, Nicko's debut on Piece of Mind, the day God decided to decent from heaven and take the form of Bruce Dickinson... so many great songs and awesome albums, too. Although there were a couple albums that were not up to what I...

    Most underrated Maiden song??

    For my money, I would say Nomad and Quest for Fire. Nomad because it's simply underrated, and Quest for Fire because it's a somewhat so-so song on an incredible album. You bastards already beat me to Dream of Mirrors, but that's a good example. Alexander the Great, perhaps? Pretty righteous intro.

    2008 setlist SPOILER!

    See, this is what's cool about Maiden, though. They have such a catalogue, and have gone through so many evolutions style and sound wise that they can appeal to a large group of people, but not for the same reasons, you know? For what it's worth, I hate CIPWM, and I think pretty much everything...

    Random Trivia

    How many letters are in falafel? Fuck! How do you spell "algorithm"? Fuck! Alright you bastards... You win this round.

    Random Trivia

    As long as it's not the sort of stork that pops its ugly ass head in my window at night with a little bundle of Illegitimate, life-ruining infantdom, I suppose it's the good kind.

    How many times have you seen Maiden live?

    I've never seen them live. I was supposed to go to the Ozzfest they played at (pretty much for the reason that they were there), but I broke my collar bone being a drunken retard on a three wheeler and couldn't go. Just as well... Three wheelers are way more metal than pretty much anything at...

    Dave Mustaine vs. Kirk Hammet

    I'm going to leave my opinion on this for later, but I was curious as to your opinions on these guys and their relationship to eachother. For some background, Dave pretty much set the stage for early Metallica, and there is no doubt that Kirk Hammet got famous (perhaps more so than Dave himself)...

    What do you think of Metallica ?

    The only reason people even listen to Metallica anymore is because of an underlying desire to hear something even slightly resembling their good shit from their first three albums. It's been bullshit since then in my opinion, and regardless of selling out, I would have to say S&M was without a...

    king diamond or mercyful fate?

    I think the intro to "Am I Evil?" makes this decision pretty easy. King Diamond as far as I'm concerned. They're both badass, though. Better than pretty much anything a band from the last decade has come up with.

    most powerful album

    I'm really surprised no one went for this, but I'll have to say Piece of Mind. It was the first Maiden album I bought, but still. As far as most powerful metal album of all time, I would have to say Slayer's Reign in Blood. It's not really practical for most situations, though. Most people think...

    Maiden & Piano

    It's cool to see other people doing this. I taught myself to play just about every song from the first two albums. Try out Strange World, Phantom, or track 3 from their self titled album. That's a really good one. I forget the name of it for some reason. I don't know why, I just found the...

    Future of hard rock/heavy metal music

    Although it is somewhat of a shame the way metal has waned over the past decade and given way to rap rock, emo, and "hardcore", I think it's only served to make the movement stronger. The majority of people don't really have tastes of their own, so they just conform and buy the albums of...
