If it was Feierabend straight up for Griffey

and if the contract was restructured so we didn’t have to pick up his crazy-ass option for next season

Bayley wasn't that bad. Virtual XI was a decent album.

But more than that, Maiden’s first two albums – with Paul DiAnno on vocals – are tremendous. DIckinson isn’t all that makes Iron Maiden great.

But Steve Harris might be. He and Dave Murray are the only two guys who’ve been on every album.

by Llewdor on May 6, 2008 12:41 PM PDT up reply actions  

Steve Harris essentially is the band.

I’m a fan of all their albums. Virtual XI and The X Factor get a bad rap due to blaze’s vocals, but i think the songs rule. One of my favorite maiden songs is actually from that era, The Clansman. Although, I prefer Bruce’s vocals to it.

I agree about the Di’Anno years. He had a great voice…that combined with Clive’s unique drumming makes Iron Maiden and Killers phenomenal albums.

Although, my favorite lineup is definitely Harris, McBrain, Smith, Murray, and Dickenson.

Also, Steve was depressed during the Blaze period, and you can hear it in the songs.

There are great live recordings of Blaze doing some of the earlier songs and they’re really good. Blaze’s live version of Afraid to Shoot Strangers is incredible.

Brings me back to my trip to Deutschland in high school. We’d had a drinking contest at Hofbraühaus in München (I came in second, DAMMIT!), and I seem to have fuzzy memories of ending up in an Endstation in München and having the lights go off and freaking out. Our adult chaperon (my German teacher) was probably one of the least-sober people, and fortunately there was one dude that didn’t drink. We made it back to our Youth Hostel about 90 seconds before the doors were locked for the night for good.

Or the post-company-christmas-party walk of shame

One year, me and one other guy – a contractor with an expense account – were put in charge of procuring alcohol for the company Christmas party. For 12 people, we bought 12 fifths of various liquors, about 10 cases of various beers, and a couple Baileys-type post-dinner drink bottles. We managed to consume about 85% of it between the 12 of us.

The next morning, I showed up at 9AM, still a little drunk from the night before, convinced I’d be the last person there (I usually started about 7.30). I was the first one there. Over the course of the rest of the morning, everyone else stumbled in, looking as bad as I felt.

The last guy in was the guy with the expense account, who looked HORRIBLE. He showed up in the office with a bag of McDonalds breakfast in one hand, a bottle of orange juice in the other, and the first thing he said was “Do I have anything to apologize for this morning?” Good times.
