Is Halford doing the Y in YMCA in that picture???

Sure looks like it to me!!! 
Good band - my 17-y-o metalhead son loves em too. My only trouble is I can't forgive them for Livin' After Midnight - probably needed the $.

It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough.

Well, many people think they should not even be here .... If they see this post, they'll have a fit!

When you're as old as me you realise Maiden ARE classic metal (how prog is an open question): the natural successors to Sabbath, in a way.
I'm deciding what sort of fit to have 'cos I'm flying to Spain on Monday and Bruce Dickinson might just be the pilot. Hope I don't end up like "Eddie"...

Saxon Heavy Prog ? I know them fairly well (even saw them live some time in the Eighties), but never thought of them as even remotely progressive... Great heavy metal band, though! |
Well... Only in their first album Saxon are Prog. For the rest... Yes... Saxon are (with Motorhead) the best Heavy Metal band for bikers (and one of the inventors of Power Metal)!

That's how old I am.

Yeah - understand that only too well. Some of my friends would probably say Iron Who? to this day.
They were the best of the NWOBHM bands by a mile - I was lucky enough to see them at the legendary Ruskin pub on Wanstead Flats, East London, in the very early days.
btw due solely to the wonders of PA I've discovered I'm eight years older than you, three years older than Raff and feeling...old |

In 2000 (if I think correctly the year... Sorry) I attended a concert of Symphony X with Dyslesia as opening act. Two great Prog Metal band. I am sincere: I am pleased to Dyslesia more... Dyslesia are more Power Prog Metal in the vein of Elegy... One other band that I have not yet understood because this is not in PA (as the same Dyslesia)!

Because, for you, PoS 'The Perfect Element Pt 1' is the best Prog Metal album between the PM album presents in PA?
