Now this is just getting silly......

Next up...... Best of Maiden's songs with more than three syllables!

Best of Maiden's songs with a double vowel!

Best of Maiden's songs with a food in the title!

Best of Maiden's songs where you can re-arrange the letters to form the name of a former NFL kicker!

I thought the title was a typo. I guess not. This is getting ridiculous, dude.

 

[GoRillaBoy76]

hey, props for noticing that but, wow

 

[AngraRULES]

This sounds like THE idea of someone with way too much free time...

Ok, not actual song selections, but when Iron Maiden wants to make some more cash by licensing their IP to Marvel Comics, here are the 12 characters that Marvel can create and band together in a loose coalition to make up "Eddie's Justice League":

"The Alchemist"
"The Apparition"
"The Assassin"
"The Clairvoyant"
"The Clansman"
"The Fugitive"
"The Mercenary"
"The Nomad"
"The Pilgrim"
"The Prisoner"
"The Trooper"
"The Unbeliever"

That shit pretty much draws and writes itself from there!

Why do people think you've got too much time on your hands all the time? It took me literally seconds to post this. Quick copy paste of the songs from wiki and the question is asked. The post itself maybe stupid but it was tongue in cheek and since Maiden is the flavour of the month at the moment I thought I would wind a few people up. Seems it worked! Anyway it takes me far longer trawling round for new bands, now for that you do need time on your hands and I must admit apart from when I'm at work I can look for metal on the net and have the odd crafty wank or two!

Well, heck, here's a tie-in to The Venture Bros. right there. A third of the Order of the Triad, no less.
