I missed that one. By the time Powerslave came out, I had moved to a different town, away from my metalhead friends, and had my epiphany/conversion to the Replacements not long thereafter.

Still, good times.

This is the best/worst cover ever.

An oxymoron wrapped in an enigma with a tiny skullet pony-tail.

Priest... gay

Maiden... not so gay

When I was a kid I thought Maiden ruled, because Priest wrote shorter songs, were a little hookier and didn't have 3 1/2 minute middle sections playing 3 chords over and over again with wicked bass and guitar solos.

It's for those EXACT REASONS I now vote Priest.

It was on the Ace's High 12 single, along with a Mountain cover.

Why must I choose goodness over goodness? Sped up minstrel music by D&D/gym junkies vs. half-time pseudo rebellion in assless chaps... It is indeed a tough decision.

However, if I had to pick fans, one viewing of Heavy Metal Parking Lot would perhaps side me with the fantasy nerds.

I won't choose and you bastards can't make me!

I have spent an un-godly amount of money (most all of my spending in 6th-8th grade) on Maiden crappola...

English pressings of all of the albums, Picture disk 12" of every damn single and album... all manner of crap... I guess I thought it would be worth something... or I would be someday.

Vote Maiden or I have wasted a life...

C'mon Swede,

"So understand
Dont waste your time always
Searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise youre living in the golden years"

Iron Maiden: Bringing the rock WITH a light dusting of life-coaching. Two great tastes that taste great together.

Yer goddamned right... I mean, from the coast of gold, across the seven seas, I'm traveling on... Far and wide!

but...

Now it seems I'm just a stranger to myself, and the things I sometimes do... It isn't me.

It's someone else...

And yes, I have the dye-cut picture disk of that shit.
