I just got back from seeing "Iron Maiden - Flight 666" and it is awesome!
A really well-made movie, with super sweet concert footage that almost seemed like I was at the show.
If you don't know, the movie is a documentary about the first leg of Maiden's "Somewhere Back in Time Tour" in which the band and crew (and all their gear) toured in a 757 with singer Bruce Dickinson piloting the plane.
Best.
Band.
Ever.
The theater was fully sold out and everyone had a Maiden shirt on.
Actually, the spectacle of the crowd was half the fun, and the fact that it was made by Canadians was very appreciated by everyone there.
Hey, we're awesome!
My favorite scenes were definitely the ones shot in South America, people are very serious about metal there, and it's crazy to see kids camping out for 10 days to get a good spot.
One fan who caught a drumstick seemed to be having a religious experience. Some people laughed but I thought it was a real moment.
Anyway, the movie was awesome, Iron Maiden have never let me down!
I never look at my iTunes e-mails, but today I saw the headline "the Metallica collection" so I decided to click through.
Apparently, with the magic of computers you can purchase Metallica's entire 168 song catalog for the low, low price of $99.95!
These guys just don't get it, do they?
I'm not sure but $99.95 seems really high for what is essentially just a bunch of mp3's.
Is there anyone out there who doesn't own half of these albums anyway?
Who is it who says, "hmm, I don't own anything by Metallica, maybe it's time I owned EVERYTHING by Metallica!"
Also, I'm not a fan of CD's at all, but given the choice, if I'm spending 100 bucks I at least want the physical product.
I guarantee you could get every Metallica album for less than $100 in 2 or 3 trips to used CD stores, or just ask your headbanger uncle (I know you have one) for his old cassette tapes.
Anyway, it just seemed like that was a lot, but I guess I don't really buy stuff from iTunes so maybe I'm wrong.
Yes, I'm that big of a nerd that Ive been listening to the Back to the Future 2 soundtrack on my ipod for a week straight.
I love it, it's so evil and foreboding.
Life just seems more exciting when you're listening to an intense film score, seriously it really makes your bus ride through downtown much more thrilling.
Sometimes I worry that someone will hear me listening to the Back to the Future 2 soundtrack and think I'm an idiot, but then I get caught up in how awesome it is and stop caring.
Check out the song below and imagine how much better your life would be with this playing in the background of it!
Wow, I didn't post a single thing in March, way to go me!
Actually, February's posts should hardly count since they were just videos that I had nothing to do with, but oh well...
Anyway, so much is going on it's insane.
too much to even mention in fact, but I will mention that yesterday was my last day at the place I've worked for almost three years, a personal record for me!
I'm still with the company, just at a different location, but still, it was sad to leave downtown.
Anyway, more posts coming soon probably.
