Although.….….…..

I would LOVE you to post something about Maiden, as you said you “would eventually”. At the age of 39, they still have a soft-spot in my heart. Being a teen & livin’ in the U.S.A., they took us by storm. Every single boy my age had their pissed-off-ness fulfilled by these guys. And when they peaked at “Piece of Mind”, here anyway (my favorite) (or do you spell it “favOUrite”), it was truly something special.

Anyways would love to hear about your “issues” with them, or them being booked of rnext year. I’m not fucking with you I think your great, I just never understand why some people don’t like or “get” some bands — but it happens for whatever reason.….…For instance (and I should be shot for this) I don’t like Judas Priest. OK maybe “Hell Bent for Leather”. But to me, their albums weren’t full of solid shit. One or two good-to-great songs and then fell flat. I don’t know, Tipton and Downing didn’t impress me. .…..But Adrienne Smith and Dave Murry from Maiden sure kicked my ass. I’m a guitar freak, maybe that’s it. I don’t just go for tone or distortion, they have to PLAY along with their own unique tone. Priest had the singer there, but Maiden to me had the whole package. To me anyway.
