Up the Irons!

Dude, that is a B.A. idea for an avatar. Wish I'd thought of that.

LOL, that's awesome

Correction he is accually a Captain now according to Anet. What an accomplished life.

frog_flyer · July 27th, 2006, 17:22

I can't imagine how easily that guy gets laid.

MarkE · July 27th, 2006, 17:30

Kick ass!!! I'd get on a plane with Bruce. Now if it was Ozzy, that would be another story. Although it would be funny to hear him making radio calls. "what the f@#$ do you mean I'm number and continue downwind? I'm the Prince of f@#%ing darkness!"

Old news. He did all his ratings and I believe instructed in Santa Monica, IIRC.

The moral of the story: we all grow up sometime.

Live to fly
Fly to live

I love old Iron Maiden. Would love to start a tribute band; you're a singer, right SeanD? Can you belt out those falsettos?

Swen · July 28th, 2006, 01:48

As in the real Bruce Dickenson?

jayllamas · July 28th, 2006, 02:52

I just saw the History of heavy metal in MTV a few days ago...it's good to see one of them doing something besides getting fat or drunk...he's awesome!

LOL I wish! Not many men have the range of Bruce Dickenson. I cant sing worth a crap. Ever heard of a pitch corrector?

I can scream good though.

Maiden has always been the premier metal band. Intelligent lyrics, great musicianship (that's a word, right?).

It would have been weird to have him show for a trip during a rain shower or snow storm and tell him to get his long-haired, satan-worshipping arse outside for the walkaround.

Sweet Jeezus I have that Maiden poster framed in my house.

Maximillian_Jenius · July 28th, 2006, 18:30

As was said, WAS better. Megadeth rocked all their socks off...well, maybe not vocally.lol

Agreed, but rockstars don't have a great track record with flying...remember Randy Rhodes?

I'm sure he's a good pilot(Bruce that is, wouldn't say that about Randy)

It still hurts thinking back on all the time and money I invested in learning to play guitar, bass, and drums, and now I'll never again get laid because of it...who am I kidding? Being in a band didn't help either.lol

I can't imagine how easily that guy gets laid.

And you never will be able to either.

He's probably laid more hot chicks than all of us combined! And it wasn't due to his piloting skills..haha
