    Bruce becomes head of airline marketing

    It's probably easier for him to tour with Maiden with this position than it is when he is in the regular flight schedule. I have never heard of this airline other than its association with Bruce, if it's relatively small then it may be a problem for them when he leaves his pilot position to...

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNA!

    Belated Happy Birthday! I'm sorry you say it could have been better, perhaps we should declare it your birthday WEEK and see if the week changes your overall birthday fun! I hope it does!

    And You Thought L.A. Traffic Was Bad...

    Most likely they went off the roadside, pottied in the dirt and covered it up like campers are supposed to do. Most Chinese were born rural and would know to do this,

    Opera singer analyzes metal singers (yup, Bruce is there)

    Oh, I agree with you, and as I said, my classical studies pretty much ended there. I learned basic theory, basic classical guitar, and the ability to teach myself further. I love classical music to listen to, but I love rock and metal for the playing. Much more freedom.

    Opera singer analyzes metal singers (yup, Bruce is there)

    In the minds of classical musicians, no, they aren't. I disagree, but I majored in music for ONE semester. I made all "A's, and my teachers, except for one, all said they felt with my potential, they could still make a "real" musician out of me if I'd just forget that rock crap. My guitar...

    They are embarked in the world's greatest freeway-building right now because of this problem. Luck to them....

    Maiden can still drink like rock stars

    They have a crew of 70 so that's actually rather moderate!

    The Search Is Over! I Have Found The IM's NEW Guitarist!!

    On topic of great female guitarists, here's a clip of Chelsea Constable from 2004, 6 years ago. She was 13 or 14 at that time, she can shred like Paul Gilbert nowadays. Just incredible! He myspace has some good clips too. http://www.myspace.com/chelseaconstable Go and listen to her...

    The Search Is Over! I Have Found The IM's NEW Guitarist!!

    I agree, and I catch a lot of grief from the anti-Janick contingent. And I didn't mean to say he plays like Adrian, he doesn't. But his original job in the band was to play Adrian's parts, which I always thought he did pretty well. But no two players are the same, and Adrian wrote those...

    The Search Is Over! I Have Found The IM's NEW Guitarist!!

    Janick IS basically the "spare Adrian"; he was hired to play those parts. No wonder he's smiling, they kept him even after Adrian came back! I'd bloody well smile and dance too! I also think he's better than he's given credit for, but when you're hired to copy an original member and then he...

    The Search Is Over! I Have Found The IM's NEW Guitarist!!

    Everybody looks for something different in the musicians they like. The Maidens have had a number of guitarists guest with them, all of whom have done good to great jobs. It then comes down to finding the lady who binds with them chemically as well as musically. since they have no problem...

    Doctor abandons patient for a Maiden concert

    Well, there's some flakiness involved, but it seems he'd made some arrangements and was at the concert as part of medical staff. I'd say it's an in-between extremes situation. Seems administration and scheduling are also somewhat in the wrong. Can't shoot everybody, don't shoot anybody, and...

    Iron maiden China

    Is it possible that the government won't let them? They seem to go everywhere else in the world, if no bands come that may answer your question. I hope it changes for you in the future though!

    Doctor abandons patient for a Maiden concert

    English and the Scandinavian languages are all in the Germanic family of languages. If you see them in print you can make out many of the individual words even if you can't read the entirety of it. Perhaps since they are speaking an earlier iteration of what became modern English, and...
