Why Iron Maiden Sucks

Shane

I'm not into crap metal. Normally, I don't care. But Iron Maiden keeps taking the names of my favorite science fiction books and using them as song names and it pisses me off. The lyrical content of "To Tame a Land" shows that the lead singer completely missed the essential points of Dune. Its a novel of political, scientific and philosophical intrigue, not just some "badass novel where people ride giant worms!" Fucking fanboys. And how about Stranger in a Strange Land? The Number of the Beast? Those songs aren't even about the books, they just stole the names because they were clever. Fuck you, Iron Maiden.

Wow, someone who thinks lyrical content matters a whole lot...

Shane

indeed

I've never read Dune, but there's not really a point in the song where they say "that's all this book is about.."

I like Iron Maiden, but you make a good point.

I'm surprised.... That Shane can read books.

"I like Iron Maiden, but you make a good point."

Maybe you can explain it to me.

He dislikes the way they use references from books he likes, there are plenty of dumber reasons he could give.

Yes, but the song he mentioned only briefly mentions what he is aggravated by. I'd love to hear what other lame reasons he has for not liking them.

Razor_Shark

I am not saying I agree with him, just that I understand.

drinkwine732

I know, but I still don't understand the rationale of his argument.

^ I think he JUST discovered that those songs were about those books (Books he has read)... so he made this thread.
