Hi RobNy
glad to hear about an iron maiden fan, well what do you think about music? does their lyrics sound so dark. i stoped listening as i think they are anti christ? is it so?

Their lyrics are… er… “dark,” but they certainly aren’t satanic. What? I suppose you’re talking about “The Number of the Beast?” Talking about the devil is much different than worshipping him. Like the metal genre likes doing, they like drawing on the dark and the frightening, but that’s about it. The entire Powerslave album goes entirely without the types of references, though, as they find their niche with history (Aces High-- based on the air battles over London in WWII), literature (Rime of the Ancient Mariner), sword-fighting (The Duellists, Flash of the Blade), and some other things not so easily put into simple categories-- Powerslave (written from the P.O.V. of a Pharoah), etc…

If you have a problem with any specific track… but I don’t think any of it is truly objectionable.

Led Zeppelin is in my humble opinion the greatest band ever. I also like the Eagles, Aerosmith, and U2.

Styx. Guns N Roses. Bob Seger. Pink Floyd. Grand Funk Railroad.

Anybody heard of GFR? Half the band came from my city…

Old rock is good rock.

I like Weird Al, too… especially his parody of Avril Lavigne’s Complicated sick though it was…

Zeppelin is a close second to The Beatles.

After that come Pink Floyd, Jackson Browne, Steve Miller, CCR, The Elton John Band, CSNY, BOC (aka SWU), Sabbath, Clapton, Heart, Tull, Billy Joel, Bruce, and U2. They are all #3 and in no particular order, politics aside.

Don’t get me started on #4!
