Yeah, it's great.

I posted about the album a little while ago:

Royal Mail will need stronger letter carriers, because the post is about to get really heavy:

Quote:
Members of the iconic heavy metal group Iron Maiden have joined a select few musicians with the honour of having their own postage stamps.

The new collection, available for pre-order from Thursday, includes 12 stamps.

Eight stamps feature pictures from their tours across the world over the years, and feature all current members of the band.

The band's popular mascot Eddie is also pictured on four of the stamps.

They are only the fifth group to be honoured with a stamp issue, following on from The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Queen and the Rolling Stones.

Iron Maiden has the craziest legacy in Metal: Never on the radio, never on MTV, to 99% of people they are the band with tacky shirts that they've never actually heard. Also: selling out arenas and stadiums for 40 years, 200M albums sold, still putting out fantastic music late into their career with albums still selling +1M.

True for the most part but I just recently listened to the first single from Senjutsu, "The Writing On the Wall". Uninspired, derivative and boring. Dickinson is fine but I see the only other writing credit is Smith, those are some weak riffs from Adrian.

But yes, such a great band. The Flight 666 documentary is one of my favorites.

Judas Priest has to be maybe the most mainstream of the power metal bands of the 70's and 80's but they didn't sell as much records. Even though they may not have been big on MTV and stuff Iron Maiden was huge in the 80's in an era when people were buying albums. Eddie was also marketing genius as it gave them major recognition.

Got curious and went down an album sales rabbit hole:

Metallica - 125M
Black Sabbath - 75M
Ozzy (solo) - 70M
Korn - 60M
Judas Priest - 50M
SoaD - 40M
Pantera - 20M
Tool - 14M

I'm actually shocked that Maiden is in the lead by so much.

Born of Osiris, Reaping Asmodeia and Bystander are playing a show March 3rd at Dickens Pub. I'll be going but I haven't listened to the openers at all.

System of a Down is pretty impressive when you consider they have a small discography.

Iron Maiden haven't sold over 200M albums...that includes singles, videos, ect.

Still 130M though for actual album sales (although they have 17 studio albums, Metallica has 11)

Reposting this here too because the song is nuts.


The funky outro is great.

Since when do metal fans get associated with monster trucks?

Anyone attempting to buy tickets tomorrow for the single night Metallica shows? I didn't even consider buying 2 nights, not spending 3 days in Edmonton or driving twice and Five Finger Death Punch are garbage.

Looks like $271 for the worst seats, $394 for up high in middle and $523 for lower level. I don't think I like Metallica that much.

I'm only modestly interested in the Phil and friends show. A friend of mine is a die hard metallica fan and bought 4 tickets to each show already, so I mentioned to him I'd be down for buying one of the Pantera night tickets. If he finds someone else, meh, I've seen metallica twice in my teens and while seeing Anselmo on stage would be cool, without Vinny and Dime I'm not overly invested.

I think this band is going to breakout to some degree with this album.
