Oh my God! I love Iron Maiden, it’s my favorite metal band!
That is waaay cool. Thanks!
Somewhere In Time is my favorite album. I used to hate it but it grew on me some time ago. Also, I like the first album, the one that was pre Bruce Dickinson.

clairvoyant by iron maiden

“Princess of the Night” by Saxon (the, like, 15 minute, live version)
“Gonna Raise Hell” by Cheap Trick (again, had to be live. The studio version had no grit, way overproduced).
