take it away, bob m.

re: irony maiden
maybe it's too late for me to 'tweak' my original statement (iron
maiden...always took their stuff 100% seriously...) but what i meant to say
was:
compared to boc/ cheap trick, iron maiden are not what i'd call lyrically
'fun/ironic, etc.' in the same sense of the two aforementioned bands. where
is their 'joan crawford'? their 'marshall plan'? sure they had some
throw-away joke b-sides, but in the main body of their recorded work, they
remain extremely straight-faced.
(all in the name of a good time, natch. i'm not completely missing the boat
here.)

ps: ozzy is a talentless moron who has had the good furtune to surround
himself with talented people: writers/players/management etc for his entire
career. geezer wrote all of the lyrics for sabbath; bob daisley wrote them on
the first 4 solo lps (he left the band in an under-publicized hufff when he
stopped getting publishing $$$ for his work). outside wrtiters have been
'helping' (including the grammy nominated lemmy) . randy rhoads' death and
the video-80's helped establish him to a new generation of fans; at least his
popularity has finally led to sabbath getting the credit they deserve as an
important band in rock music and perhaps the most important band in heavy
metal.
