Great story, thanks for sharing! They performed it like this on W:O:A too. Wish I would have stood as near on stage as you did, must have been amazing! But that's nearly impossible there. Could we see you in the vid? Maybe on the screen showing the crowd directly in front of the stage? 😉😄

There's something I've never heard before. Kinda space rock, reminds me of Hawkwind a bit

I haven't read through all the pages of this thread, so I'm not sure if somebody's mentioned them yet, but Iron Fire is an awesome (I think Danish) power metal band. They sound to me sort of like a combination of Iron Maiden, Dragonforce, and Disturbed. Here's a link to their song Kill for Metal from their "To the Grave" album. I think it's a pretty good song to serve as an introduction to the band. This song has kind of a slow intro, but explodes after 15 or 20 seconds

Oh! And how did I forget to mention?!

This is quite possibly my favorite song in the world. It is from Bruce Dickinson's Accident of Birth album and I think an explanation of its lyrics is necessary to fully appreciate what a masterpiece it really is. For the first part of the song Bruce sings of "hellriders" (obviously referring to the four horsemen of the apocalypse) coming along and doing various bad things to the world, while the chorus tells about the "Wheel of Dharma running out of time." When he finishes singing about the fourth hell rider, the song slows down and, after a brief melodic interlude and a reference to the silver surfer which is lost on me, he goes back to singing about the "Wheel of Dharma."

"Dharma" is a Buddhist term that refers to all the collective teachings of Buddha. Well, basically all Buddha ever taught was to be nice to each other. Murder, stealing, lying, war, rape, torture... just refrain from that stuff. Just don't do anything violent or deceitful, that's all Buddha ever taught. So Bruce's reference to the "Wheel of Dharma running out of time," alongside tales of the hell riders destroying society, is clearly him saying that the world is ending because we aren't being nice to each other. There is too much war and too many lies for us to go on living, but we can stave off the apocalypse, give our species a little more time and give the next generation a chance to turn it all around, if we can just be good to each other. The song is very fun and heavy at the beginning, and very emotional and uplifting at the end.

Just in case you didn't know him. I think his guitar play is pretty amazing:

[The Educated fool]

A fun, mostly forgotten song.

Good evening, everyone

As some reminiscence of latest events going on here, with some dedication obviously goes to...

Iron Maiden - Falling (1969)



Enjoy!

P.S. I owned this record, yet I thought some day if I manage to meet Stevie in the near future - I will give it to him as the souvenir for remembrance the meeting and so Polish fans, so I did in 2000... Still have the digital copy ripped as wavs of the original CD in my collection and use to listen sometimes...

Cheers,
