I started one a few months back.First time ever, a Maiden Thread!
Around the late '80s/early '90s, I might have said Metallica would be the all-time Champions of Metal, but then they became flatulent for at least 15 years, and never really found their way back to true form.
Maiden's only hiccup was when they were briefly without Bruce in the '90s, but they've been like Iron the rest of the time, and kick harder today than Metallica (having a real drummer helps). Maiden still fully live up to their OWN name in new songwriting quality and live performance. So Maiden are the all-time Champions.
Maiden are also the Rulers of Rio and Donnigton. And of course, Long Beach.
My parents did something similar. I went off to college in the fall of 1988. Came home a few years later, and they threw out all of my Circus and Hit Parader magazines, my WASP picture disks and singles, and my Raven cassettes lol.In 1989 my parents moved from my small town in Mn where I grew up, to the twin cities. I was in the Army at the time, and was NOT happy when I went home on leave to find out that when they moved, they tossed ALL my records. Ugh. I also had a bunch of Star Wars stuff from the late 70s that I had kept, that they also tossed. Those damn things would be worth a TON today to collectors.
Damn...sucks. It's not like my stuff or yours would have taken up much room for God's sake...just a box or two at most.
Hey, you're like 20 yrs younger than the guys in IM. You can do it for a long time!
That's sux! Same thing happened to me, smaller level, when my dad and step-mother got divorced. Dad and I moved out, leaving lots behind. When I went back to grab the rest of my stuff, Heman, transformers, hot wheels, stereo system with dual cassette and record player... all gone in a garage sell.In 1989 my parents moved from my small town in Mn where I grew up, to the twin cities.

Dude, I had this really cool collectible Star Wars 'sketch collection' that during the process of George Lucas planning for the film, they go through scenes and use sketches to map out how everything will come together. Not many of those made. Probably worth 6 figures today.
Noooooooooo!

I never even got to listen to it! And I was too dumb to suspect them.
Fuk those guys.
Falling down...
