Here's a story of an early Iron Maiden guitarist being fired for liking the guys.....

I know personally speaking I get so tired of defending the band with some of my guitarist friends, especially in guitar forums....
Unbelievable!!
I cannot abide Iron Maiden.
Anyway, I do have to be honest, it does seem a tad weird. Why would someone be sacked for listening to a band? There must be more to it...
I saw this mentioned on a documentary on them ages ago, I'll try and dig it out, but there's literally nothing more to it than him saying 'They didn't like me because I was listening to stuff like the Eagles'.
As for all the other articles with desperate music journalists posting quotes from a fictitious film to prove a dislike of a band: bore-off you absolute berks. I can see why the guys did not care for Rolling Stone etc if this is what constitutes music journalism.
I actually love early heavy metal but I don't like Iron Maiden and never have. I'm more of a Judas Priest, solo Ozzy with Randy Rhoads, etc kind of guy.
There was also a story that Glenn Matlock was fired from the Sex Pistols because he liked the Beatles.
:partytime: My second favourite band ever. I never really liked the way Maiden, AC/DC etc were so grand; selling out stadiums of 40,000 people in Argentina felt really artificial when you consider where heavy metal came from both socially and musically. Much prefer the grittier old-school bands like Priest, Black Sabbath, even some of the NWOBHM bands like Witchfinder General and Tygers of Pan Tang: it feels much more genuine and true than stupidly-gimmicky stage props in front of thousands upon thousands of people who probably only know three of your songs but are there because it's essentially a huge party.Quote:

this weeks people magazine with Angelina jolie on the cover has a piece on Tim McGraw :smitten: that says:
Tim McGraw the songs of my life.
The Eagles I can't tell you why '" is one listed.
"I' m a huge Eagles fan. They're probably at the top of my list of favorite music ever !! This one is simple and sincere. It was the go to song in junior high for making out"
Well I knew I always liked that guy but now with his great taste in our fave band ...he only got better in my eyes.
:thumbsup: Tim McGraw!
I knew I liked you Tim, now more so! He has fantastic taste in music! :thumbsup:
Yep gals , I agree
