indeed, the maiden does rock

i'm totally rocking out the piece of mind tonight. generally, i despise the bass tone on this record. still, though. it's a great new wave of british heavy metal album.

i got turned onto this one because i had z-rock on the alarm clock when i was in middle school. being instantly awakened to "to tame a land" (i've never read dune, or its cohorts--jason heller is the dune master, however) was enough to convince me that iron maiden was cool. many guitar players have tried to convince me of this, but i thought that the maiden were lame.

and now, i long for the hair metal.

go figure.
