Iron Maiden @ Ozzfest!!![views:5248][posts:18]__________________________________________ [Mar 17,2005 10:48pm - Distrust-Kevin ""] It's about fucking time too. 50 million albums sold yet they are STILL UNDERGROUND! I think they are the most sucessful underground group of all time. |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 17,2005 10:56pm - metalmatt666 ""] Iron Maiden UNDERGROUND!? what the hell are you on?! |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 17,2005 10:58pm - i_am_not_me ""] I would direct you to the search feature, but first I'd like to recommend you acquire a brain...otherwise the search engine's power is slightly weakened. |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 1:01am - Distrust-Kevin ""] Yes matt, Underground. When do ever see Iron Maiden on MTV, or hear them on the radio? Maiden has been blackballed in the states since they started. That makes 'em underground in my book. Underground doesn't necessarily mean unsucessful. |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 2:52am - BestialOnslaught ""] Hahaha @ "underground" |
| _________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 9:47am - Phil E ""] maiden is so underground they are co-headlining ozzfest.....thats pretty underground. |

Underground doesn't necessarily mean unsucessful. this is true....iron maiden are certainly a HUGE name in metal, and they can certainly sell out an arena for a concert, but you don't hear a lot about them from people, and they don't seem to have a lot of big promotion. |

| _________________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 5:07pm - Distrust-Kevin ""] I guess I must have a severe case of down syndrome then, because I believe metal has never been mainstream. I also believe metal bands must build their fan bases through loyalty. You see, radio will not touch metal. They will not touch Maiden. Maiden's legacy was built through word of mouth, man. One must look for metal. Metal doesn't find you. It does not hunt you down and push itself on you like commercial music which is stuck in your face everywhere you turn. Metal is just there to be enjoyed. Forever underground. IRON FUCKIN MAIDEN |
| ________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 5:11pm - Hooker ""] Uh... underground. Maiden. Does not compute. |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 7:05pm - mikehuntstinks ""] iron maiden is underground if the year was still 1977 |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 7:13pm - blue nli ""] iron maiden is underground? metal has never been mainstream? am i missing something here? |
| ________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 7:15pm - Hooker ""] Bruce: How's the crowd looking? Nicko: hmmm... only seems to be about 40,000. Bruce: Fuck then. I hate being an underground band. Nicko: It's a struggle, but we'll get to the big time some day. Bruce: I hope you're right. |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 9:18pm - Distrust-Kevin ""] You seem to be missing my point. AC/DC, SABBATH, JUDAS PRIEST, VAN HALEN, RUSH, AEROSMITH, SCORPIONS, MOTLEY CRUE, LED ZEPPELIN and many more. All on the radio, all the time. Iron Maiden? Never (unless on "special hours just for METAL") They are most certainly blackballed in the states. Always have been. Why else would they not be played in full rotation on the radio along with the above bands? |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 10:04pm - Dissector ""] I actually see his point |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 21,2005 12:55am - Distrust-Kevin ""] Bump for Eddie |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 21,2005 7:51am - Joe/NotCommon ""] They will be now that they are on Ozzfest I bet. I am sure their label (sony?) probably didnt budget as much radio promotion for them because they know Iron Maiden will sell anyway, so they concentrated radio budget on Ill Nino and whatever other faggy bands they have that are new. |
