My most favourite band of all time, and I'm going to watch them tomorrow in the flesh!
Reasons why I like them are too many to list, but see the following video, or at least the first couple of minutes.
Bruce Dickinson gives it his all, on "Remember Tomorrow", a song about reincarnation. It's very mystical - the lyrics, at least for me. They've also changed up the song a bit to fit the three guitar framework.
They're all fifty-ish or so, and still have plans for the future! I mean, which band after doing so much for so long and earning so much, still plans for the future? The Rolling Stones? We know the Stones tour when they need money...I mean who else does this? On a consistent basis?
Their output through much of the 90's was sort of average, though at times very good. Recently, and especially with their latest album 'A matter of life and death' (with the exception of two songs) , I think they've made their best songs. Check out "Brighter than a thousand suns". It's pretty obvious what the song's about if you know a little about WW II...
And they still play to a football stadium full of fans younger than some of the songs they play? They are still relevant after so many years for a new generation. Heck, I'm part of that new generation.
And I'm going to see them LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!

enthu cutlet you are.
what's all this gibberish about planning for the future? you make them sound like baby boomers getting ready for retirement (which is what they are, after all). Alternative question - what kind of rock/metal band gets to its supposed best only when its constituent members are pushing fifty? That's when all their contemporaries have burnt out and/or faded away. You make them sound like the Snoop Doggy Dogg of metal.
hehe just kidding. enjoy the show and all.
you make mistake of crossing path of the gods!
for this, you must be punished!
and your punishment shall be:
50 hours of Celine Dion! Yes! Your heart will go on!
