patentdragonIt's been a real pain trying to find something to watch on TV lately - and then two shows come along in quick succession: BBC 4 delivers with a great Thin Lizzy retrospective, and right now documentary Iron Maiden: Flight 666. I will never apologise for being a rock and metal fan, and I'll never stop wondering just what kind of world we might have now if we hadn't lost legends like Lizzy's front-man, Phil Lynott. It's that that makes me want to throw up every time I hear today's "chart music" - where are the new legends? Where are the bands that truly have their own distinctive sounds, like Lizzy, and like Maiden?
Screw joke shit like "Spinal Tap" - whatever you normally listen to, please track down some material by the real great bands. You may hate it - but then you may just love it... and you may be lucky enough to get a chance to see them play live. That's the really great thing, y'see - these guys don't wimp out, they just keep on recording and touring, and there are still many, many fans out there to welcome their heroes to their home town.
And they won't tear you to pieces for coming to the party late. No sir.
And so, the weekend approaches, but it's not going to be heavy on the down-time. House viewings (yup, plural), a bit more Move preparation - a trip to the movies - not much opportunity for a lie-in, and there you have it; a second weekend arsed. Damn it...
Ah, what the hell. Bring. It. On.
But first, I have a story to absolutely finish. The Secret Adventures of Mane-of-Night - Flight 102 Is Overdue is a handful of paragraphs from being OFFICIALLY done.
