I'm going to have a rant....

The one thing that winds me right up is the continual use of the word 'band' to describe acts like Take That, JLS etc....aaarrggghhh !!! What ??

They aren't bands...bands hit the stage with a drummer, bassist, and a couple of (or maybe even 3) guitars belting out a tune...followed by a singer who arrives right on his cue...

Now that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is a band !!!.....IMO the greatest of all fcukin' time  :cheer:

No.1 on my bucket list...see them somewhere in South America where the crowd are nuts...

Bit heavy for me! But whatever floats your boat, bet your ears are ringing for days after one of their gigs!!  

Just as an aside, you been keeping up with the College football scene? Cam Newton at Auburn is the real deal, the only thing he doesn't do is catch his own passes! Looking forward to Auburn Vs Oregon for the championship!

Mark you are a legend.

Iron Maiden have been my band of choice since 1986 when I was first introduced to them by a mate - first saw them live at Donington '88.

I shall be following Maiden on their full British Tour next year along with dates in Paris and Sweden - simply cannot wait. Im especially looking soward to the local Sheffield date and the two nights at the O2 Arena.

Oh! and Im in this video n'all, at about 14/15 secs in!    ......
