Its quite funny, I've received the same sort of reactions from friends when I have tried to push the Iron Maidens.
Most common is, why listen to them, I can listen to the real maiden. And to be honest theres no arguing a point there.
I listen because I like to listen to music, I have been trying to play guitar since 1991 and I havent got far at all, I dont have the time or the patience to be brutally honest....and I have the same natural ability to make music as a rock does......Maybe thats why I like rock music (i'll get me coat).
So i respect musicians, even if I dont like their particular style of music....except dance music, cos thats really crap. I might be scathing of bands I might heap too much favourtism on bands......Come ot think of it I went through a stage of thinking Phantom Blue were amazing and then a stage where I wouldnt admit to buying the album.....but thats just my fickle tastes for you and for reference I still enjoy the music girls.
I guess I dont even feel much towards the true maiden really either, perhaps I am feeling a little out of touch, Perhaps I just need to listen more I dont know. Its kinda hard to appreciate the band when theres a family link there, maybe taking things for granted.
Anyway enough of my musings and or bullshit. Girls keep it up and for cocks that make comments like that.....let one thing be assured, it will never be yours they suck mate!

Huh???
I may be merely projecting here, but what I think TimeWarrior2001 is saying is that while anyone can appreciate the music of a band just by hearing it through whatever medium, one appreciates the band themselves much more when the band communicates personally with them, through media such as this forum as well as talking in person after the shows. I noticed this was mentioned by several on the Iron Maiden forum in that particular thread in the Maidens defense, above and beyond their skillful musicianship. I didn't bother posting such, as A) it's already been said there by others and B) if the people who are regular on that forum care about such things they wouldn't spend so much time on a forum for a band whom, due to their worldwide popularity, it would likely be logistically impossible for them to have the level of personal communication with fans that is found here on this forum.
I may love Iron Maiden music, but the odds on me meeting any of them in person (much less having a significant conversation) are pretty much nil. Whereas, I've met all the Iron Maidens, had lengthy conversations (that were honest ones about life, well beyond just talking about how much I dig their or someone else's music) with some, met a significant portion of the road crew, and even met a handful of other regulars of this forum in person. Hell, before the Galxy show in May, several of us here got together at a pizza place (and I'd not met any of them at that point).
Now, TimeWarrior, I imagine you don't exactly get to do this (you being in England), though maybe you've been here and seen them live??? Maybe,maybe not??? But I also imagine you wouldn't post on this forum as much as you do, if some vibes of that personal familiarity didn't reach you even if they have to travel halfway around the world to do it!
Some may use music like a drug, a way to avoid intimacy. It seems to me like the Maidens and many regulars on this forum see music (as I do) as yet another way to create intimacy.
Human beings are social beings. The Maidens understand that pretty well!

You know, I gotta say that I am a bigger fan of the Maiden's than I am of the originals. Not that I don't respect them or anything, because I do. But, if you were to tally up the total amount of time in my life I've spent listening to the originals compared to the girls here, the girls would win in a landslide. There are several reasons why, and though I'm not really sure I need to get into them now, there are none which I am ashamed of.

yeah my brothers second cousins long lost step sisters husband......lol only joking. But it might as well be.
Actually through a family marriage. My Uncle Married A relative of Janicks, she's quite close to his side of the family. She often goes to see maiden and has offered for me to have my Maiden collection autographed. I met Janick in a local recording studio a long time ago now, Janicks home town is about 2 miles away from where I live and he now Lives in a little place called Yarm....which is about 6 or 7 miles away.
I'm also related to Alvin Stardust......but I dont brag about that lmao.

Who knew? I thought for a minute that might be the case but then said "Nah, he must just mean the Maidens have a familial vibe."
A mind is a terrible thing. Waste it.
Yes,you got that right! That was my point. Anyway... I know it sounds really bad,but if I would find out any kinda familiar connection between me and any member of Maiden,they wouldn't be able to get rid of me from backstage!

Sorry Ryan, due to increased demand and production issues, the "Standard model Assclown" is currently not available. Off-shore production of inferior quality Assclowns has further impacted the already dire situation.
In order to remedy this spate of problems, we are offering deep discounts, in the form of rebates, on "Standard Fucktards". Since this is an obvious upgrade, we anticipate complete satifaction in substituing this model.
All products are compatable with the "Standard Issue Asshat".
Thanks for your continued support, we appreciate your business.
