Iron Maiden

Again, don't put too much weight behind that last phrase....but, for one, the way he can't seem to be able ( at least, in public ) to deal with divergent opinions....he is surrounding himself with yes man.....if you don't agree with him, or are not an absolute kiss ass, you don't last long...

I admittedly said this simply to use the " Dictator " aspect of Julius Caesar to emphasize my earlier point. JC did make major tax reforms, and manipulated the production of grain......I guess there's similarity after all....I just don't see Trump solidify the use of something like a proper calendar however...;-)

Never liked Trump....He's a pump ass petulant child, an egotistical fool and...an idiot....Some of his policies make sense and I would love for them to be adopted...but he's too busy acting like Ceasar.....

I think using the military for any type of photo op, ( going overseas or having a parade at home ) is silly . These men and women are busy enough...asking them to add marketing to their task is really not necessary....

Why do you think Trump wants to roll tanks and troops in the streets of DC like they do in North Korea ? Is there a bigger military photo ops than a freaking parade ?

The boys finished the 1st leg of the tour with sold out shows in their home town....it has to be gratifying to play where you grew up and had dreams about being a rock star.... Now , they'll take a break and will announce the rest of the world dates in a month or 2.... Hoping to catch at least 2 shows on this tour...

He probably does well in English speaking countries.....How about South America or the other European countries like Poland, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, Belgium, France or Romania.. ?...or China...or Japan... ?....The Rolling Stones would sell out any stadiums in those countries...Iron Maiden is doing it as we speak.....That was my main point...Rock MUSIC translate to more people/culture than country does....Country is mainly a US thing...Rock is international...IMO of course...

I am not a big country fan, but I'm smart enough to understand and respect the genre......having said that, Rock wins everyday and twice on Sundays....Big rock bands sell out stadiums and arena across the globe.... would Garth Brooks have sold out shows in Bulgaria, Santiago, Rio, Croatia, Athens , Paris, South Africa, Dubai, Mumbai like he does in the US ? Maybe...I just don't really know true international country stars...Major rock bands can sell out pretty much everywhere on the planet....Rock reaches a broader audience IMO....

Agreed on both....My only tattoo is the VH with both my sons names like Eddie has with Wolfgang....Also love Aerosmith, Motley Crue , Steve Miller Band, Disturbed...etc...And Rush is in my top 5 bands...they are simply incredible....Some of the best shows I've ever seen....All 3 were extremely talented musicians....

Here's a few I forgot from the UK.... Def Leppard Van Morrison Mumford & Sons Rod Stewart Duran Duran Eurythmics T. Rex

I absolutely love The Scorpions...but overall, your point stands !

I was looking at my music collection and, at least for my taste, the UK has giving us an incredible amount /quality of music...I can't think of any other country that comes close.... Beatles Rolling Stones Pink Floyd The Who Led Zep Genesis/ Phil Collins/Peter Gabriel Black Sabbath Ozzy ( solo career ) Queen David Bowie The Kinks The Clash Radiohead Judas Priest Iron Maiden The Cult Yes Supertramp Cold Play Eric Clapton/ Yardbirds Elton John Sex Pistols Jethro Tull Motorhead Deep Purple The Cure The Smiths King Crimson Oasis Dire Straights The Police/Sting Whitesnake The Animals Emerson Lake and Palmer .......there's probably a good 20 acts I didn't mention here.... The rest for me is obviously stuff from the USA, Australia, Canada etc.... Where does your music collection comes from mainly ?

The Number of the Beast- Iron Maiden Dark Side of the Moon-Pink Floyd Moving Pictures- Rush Van Halen - Van Halen Forty Licks- Rolling Stones ( It's a greatest hits album, but so what ! ) Honorables...Powerslave and Piece of Mind- Maiden......Wish you were here- Pink Floyd.....Pyromania- Def Leppard.....Kiss Alive- Kiss.....Vapor Trails- Rush.....Shout at the Devil- Motley Crue.....Rust in Peace- Megadeth....Breakfast in America- Supertramp....

Thursday in Northern Ireland... And in Scotland last night....

Friday and Saturday night in Poland..... Now the band is finishing the 1st leg of the tour with 7 shows in the UK....meanwhile, here's a look back 10 year ago .....The Rime of the Ancient Mariner...live in NJ....

It's named after their mascot.....Eddie....

Sunday night in Bulgaria..... And Tuesday night in Croatia.... Talk about going to places where lots of bands wouldn't even think of going....Metal Gods !!

In my post about Canadian start power...I forgot to mention you my friend.....apologies...lol....you make up for giving us Justin Beiber....

The metropolitain area....as I mentioned in the post... Not for those who actually know how to read.....

Yep...And I also forgot these guys from Winnipeg....

?? Montreal has over 4 millions...Vancouver is over 2.2 millions.....Calgary, Edmonton are both over 1 million.....what are they..Big Villages ??...lol those numbers are the metropolitan areas but still...hell, even Ottawa is over 800 thousands....

I love Canada...Neil Young....Rush.....Hockey...Pamela Anderson ( when she was young..lol ).....Captain Kirk.....Martin Short....Jim Carey...Avril Lavigne...Ryan Reynolds....Dan Akroyd...John Candy ( RIP )....Howie Mandel....Mike Myers...Keifer Sutherland.....Bryan Adams....Shania Twain.....Drake.....Leslie Nielson ( RIP )....Alanis Morissette....etc....lots of star power from a relatively small population...ironically, Canada is the largest country in the world besides Russia.... Vancouver is one of the most beautiful city in the world...and Montreal....let's just say if you want to party...there's not many city in the world that offer more options than Montreal..

Friday night in Athens.....The Greeks are going nuts ...lol

I'm all for pushing the other countries to pay their share for NATO.....they should....but we can't forget that when NATO was 1st formed, it was in part at least, for the USA to show strength in the fear of communism spreading.....we needed NATO then and it served us well.....just because that threat is no longer a priority is not a reason to act like there's no need for it....

The idea of getting along with Russia in itself is not a bad one....however.....he can't seem to stop shouting himself in the foot........" I mispoke..." Really ?....what the hell are his advisers paid for ?....Their jobs is to stop that kind of embarrassing moments to happen.......
