Well, I'll try to be around General at that point.

You mean we can try the revolution again around then?

Well, persistently bump it until then, in any case.

In that case, you're close. You still suggested a bunch of classic Maiden songs so I had to be more specific.

There's only one track that I have on that album which I rated at 4 stars. Everything else was great, IMO.

There's only two subpar tracks on Dance of Death while the rest are amazing.

I'm intrigued - I've got Wildest Dreams as vaguely sub-par, but no other. I'd be interested by your thoughts.

I think they are going to win game four. Just do enough to avoid the sweep. I think this is the last time we see the Lakers in their present form.

Boom! *watches mushroom cloud around the Staples Centre from afar*

And they are outtahere!

Yeah, that's the comparison I always make if someone says that Cricket is like Rounders. The bat in cricket is much bigger and so is the ball. If you can hit a cricket ball 300 ft, you're doing really well. 450ft diameter is the cricket field, so the longest you'll have to hit the ball for a six is 200-220 ft.

There is no professional leagues for rounders, is there?

Not that I'm aware of.

Be sure you can get it to look neat.

Hah! I don't even need photoshop for that. I just alter the html code, make a screenshot of that and delete the comment. :P

Wow, you actually agree with the Metallica part?

Well what can I say. One of the most succesful metal bands (if not THE most succesful) hardly has any "lesser known songs", except for some B-sides maybe.

Sorry, I won't cover their B-Sides at all.

I don't even know which songs are considered B-Sides. Right now only the "wanana"-version of "Whereever I may roam" comes to my mind. It's a very early version of the song and every lyric part is just James singing "wanananana". >_>

And some songs from Maiden aren't well known because they also have a lot of shit in their portfolio. Yes I know, St. Anger and stuff. But that's ONE album, while Maiden has to cope with "No Prayer for the Dying", "Fear of the Dark", "The X Factor" and "Virtual XI", which all are mediocre at best.

To be fair, Maiden have recorded more albums but they're still far better than St. Anger.

Maiden also had more lineup changes. Changing the singer is never a good idea. It didn't work that well for Iced Earth either. ^^
Overall I think Metallicas albums are listed higher on the "awesome" list than Maides albums, but that's just a personal opinion. ;)

Hopefully I get enough enjoyment from them whenever I see them live.

I hope so, too. They are definitely a band you should see live at least once and I am glad I saw them, even if the spark didn't jump over.

Quite a funny statement but I'll take your advice.

Yes, it may seem I am contradicting myself. But I want to see all the "legends" at least once.

I'm sure some of their other albums have the sound production that meets your needs.

Good to hear.

I'll need to find the right song for you so give me time on that.

I give you all the time you need. ;)

Now The Hague on the other hand, I MIGHT attend, but I think it also depends a little on what the plans are and who else is attending.

Hmm, if I understand it correctly, it is indeed a form of champagne, but the name 'champagne' is protected apparently and therefore Sekt may not be called champagne (cause it doesn't come from the right region).

Yeah. It's a slap with an open hand and a punch when it's closed.

Yeah I figured. I find them essentially the same thing, but I guess it's because one hurts more than the other.

I highly doubt it's ever been put to the test, except in medieval times maybe when it was normal to carry around a bow. If you carry around a bow nowadays I bet you're gonna be arrested for being in possession of a deadly weapon.

So you are not even allowed to have a bow even for hunting purposes?

Perhaps if you are in the woods, but I suppose you need a license for it. Out on the street I highly doubt you can just walk around with a bow (and arrows) without the police asking you a couple of questions.

I think I'd puke at the smell of that.

Nah. It smells like fish. If it smells bad then it is rotten.

I'm pretty sure you can not have a gun with you when you're walking down the street. The only way you are allowed to have a gun at home is when you have a license for it and a proof that you're mentally healthy or something. Though I think the tests they do to check that are really bollocks. Not long ago there was a mall shooting and the guy who did it had a gun license, despite the fact that he was known by the police and 'had problems'.

Anyway, once you have your gun at home, you gotta keep it locked away. You can't have it lying around so anybody could get to it.
