Kerrang MAIDEN special issue

[Mark]

Looks frikkin awesome! 132 pages of Maiden - it feels like the 80s again! £5 is a bit steep, though, but I paid only £4 for some reason. I ain't complaining

 

[spawn]

Its alright for you bloody Englishpeople

 

[Spiff]

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'm getting a copy!

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I want one.

Well, it's not a bad magazine now that I've read it. I've actually found myself becoming more of a fan again (after being somewhat disillusioned and - after working for em - a bit indifferent about the band), which is a great feeling. New interviews with each member, plus stories on the Slavery tour, Donington 88, interviews/updates on past members (including interviews with both Di'Anno and Cooke), and a shitload of posters

Well worth picking one up!

What about Stratton?

Dennis Stratton = Iron Maiden's golden era

 

[Mark]

Only a short piece on Stratton (as well as Doug Sampson and Clivey Burr)

Pffft!

 

[Spiff]

Thou hast forsaken the church of Stratton, Goreripper!

We're surrounded by infidels.

 

[spawn]

But I like the Bruce era stuff best

 

[Spiff]

But do you agree that Dennis Stratton is GOD? Do you agree that his guitar licks and backing vocals (not to mention his hair, which was obviously stolen by Slash a couple of years later) is invaluable on the debut album?

I think the answer to both questions, Spawn, is a resounding YES.

 

[Mark]

Stratton put the RONMAI in Iron Maiden! Without him, it would be Iden, which is a crap name for a band!

 

[spawn]

Well, they DID name a guitar after him, so he MUST be good.

I'm not saying Dennis' contributions to the band weren't sound, but I don't agree it was their "golden era". That's like saying Purple's golden era was with Evans and Simper.

 

[Spiff]

I was joking.

 

[Goreripper]

Oh

So who is gonna send me a copy...Mark hmmmmmm ......
