Hmmm, I surely can't speak for the rest of the world, but Maiden is SURELY the definition of Metal for ppl here, metalheads or not, not Ozzy. But of course I understand what you mean. Just wanted to point out that even non-metal fans here in Brazil will say "Iron Maiden" when asked about a metal band, not "Ozzy" or "Black Sabbath". And Maiden got as much radio play here as Sabbath or Ozzy, i.e., nothing. -------------------- "Forty-five moments of perfection translated through a cautionary escape into the perils of the mundane, the inherent entropy in ultimate order, and the potential threats of eternal, unchecked apathy in civilization; all cloaked in musical expression so thoughtful, creative and forward thinking that almost a quarter-century later, few can even comprehend it, much less match it."

Hell, down in South America Maiden are gods, and always have been haven't they. The music fans down there have always come out in droves to support Maiden and Dickinson, that's why they recorded the live albums there, you people are some of the coolest fans I've heard and seen. Shit, the audience usually over powers the bands PA, just watch and listen to RUSH IN RIO, or Dickinson's Scream For Me Brazil. The fans in the states lost interest in Irin Maiden for many years due to the "flavor of the month" changing over the last few decades. I know Maiden doesn't need anything like Ozzfest for the rest of the world but I think here in the states they regained what they had so many years ago, and I've been seeing a lot of Maiden T-shirts on people of all ages on the boardwalk this summer. Maiden Mania is having a revival in the states... I couldn't be happier. Maiden was one of the main bands that got me into metal, and I was an insane collector for many many years. Harris and the boyz know how to put out music, merchandizing, live shows, they appreciate fans, release lots of cool collectables and live concerts.... the whole package. -------------------- yawn
