the list of now

Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark

I wouldn’t call myself a metalhead yet, but I’m starting to genuinely love a few songs, a few bands and some crossover tunes that are somewhat metal, somewhat punk…

This is the first Iron Maiden song I’ve really truly just LOVED, even though I’ve loved Bruce for a while.

Can we just discuss Bruce Dickinson for a minute? This video was from a couple years ago, meaning the man had already turned 50. He’s incredible. And he performs as if he is starring in his own, (really well written) metal broadway musical.

I would dare any musical theatre fan who thinks they don’t like any metal to listen to this and tell me it’s not beautifully theatrical and awesome. 

I’m pretty much required to go, right?

My current favorite Maiden song, for Wentdog, to celebrate that he got tickets for Maiden England this summer too!

(and also, can we just discuss how Bruce gets older and older, yet sounds better than EVER? how is that even possible?)

Just kidding about that last post, watch this video instead, it’s much better quality and the sound actually matches up with what you are watching.

Iron Maiden - Hallowed By Thy Name (Rock in Rio, 2001)

In. Love.

(seriously guys? this was a live performance last year… HOW… HOW do they sound this good?)

Blood Brothers - Iron Maiden

I am one week away from their show. This one is on the setlist they’ve been playing so far. I might weep.

In which I return to my blog to recap the major events of my Summer (so far) like a kid on the first day of school. Starting with the (amazing) Iron Maiden show in June.

(Coming soon: I talk about how much I love camping and also how living in/exploring the greater Boston area is really fun!)

- Special Edition Iron Maiden Vinyl Picture Discs coming soon.

Yep, so I’m going to need ALL of these.
