All of you who really know me, know that I'm probably the most intense metal head walking, among other facets of my musical sustenance. Iron Maiden's new album, A Matter of Life and Death is a serious return to the powerhouse days of Maiden. Not only that, but they have rocketed to the top ten in the US and are selling out venues around the world. Among all the other detritus that people are attempting to pass off as music, Iron Maiden are sitting proudly and defiantly among them. Almost brings a tear to the eye. All that being said, it doesn't come with out the price of reality smacking us in the face.
Allow me to illustrate my point: Lauren Harris. The preceeding link will take you to Lauren Harris' myspace. Who is Lauren Harris? She's the daughter of Iron Maiden bassist, Steve Harris, and she's quite the hottie. She also happens to be on tour with her dad and opening for Maiden on the non-US legs of the tour. Now, this isn't Kelly Osbourne by any stretch of the imagination. Strap yourself in for a rockin good time.
Anywho, I just wanted to spread the word to those of you who are interested and those of you who probably don't give a shit anyway.
