Tribute To A Great Band - IRON MAIDEN!!!


I was looking at my blog and realized that I need a tribute to one of my favorite bands of all-time:

IRON MAIDEN ! ! !


Recent Video: Flight 666. They filmed a tour where they flew around the world on a custom 757 jet, complete with their logos, and Eddie, their mascot.

The jet was called Ed Force One - a force to be reckoned with, no doubt.

Some of you may be saying "WHO???" Well, they're one of the great metal bands of all time. This means they got popular without being on all the usual pop-star radio stations, and MTV, VH1 etc. They've only sold over 70 million albums in like 30 years or so. They don't need #1 songs like the Beatles had.






Then again, some of you may be saying - YEAH! I know these dudes (or blokes - they're British) and they ROCK!

Here's Dave & Adrian.





Well, you know of Wikipedia? Check it out!

Here's Jannick & Steve.















And, last but not least, Niko!
Check out www.youtube.com and search for Iron Maiden. Search for Iron Maiden Flight 666. You will find numerous (and usually illegal) clips of the movie.
People, these guys are pros. Do not attempt this at home. Plus, their singer is the pilot of the real 757 they flew around the world in. He's a real licensed pilot, and a real kick-ass singer as well. Now that's what I call a leader.
Rock on people!
