If she had a Galaga shirt on this would hurt more. Meh, Pac-Man fans are a dime a dozen, so fickle.

Beto belies his tender years by exuding confidence and professionalism. in fact, i would argue older politicians are less mature compared to him. he's not an oddball like Trump, he never says something outrageous like Maxine Waters

I like to differentiate between Def Leppard and Iron Maiden. Def Leppard had a more American angle; Maiden had a punk ethos about them, though the were definitely a rock band. They had that street-y, London attitude.

Iron Maiden stood out because they’d taken on some of the punk ethos, which was to do your own thing, put your own record out, make your own life. Maybe they borrowed some of that from the punk bands

Andy Dawson: I remember seeing Iron Maiden
at our local theatre on the Metal For Muthas tour. It
was the first time I remember seeing an unknown
band, and they nailed it. They came on stage
looking and acting like they were
already successful. I’d never seen
that level of confidence before.

KK Downing: I’d never heard of Iron Maiden
until someone told me that they were going to
support us on the British Steel tour. Then they
started to get mouthy in the press, saying they were
going to blow the bollocks off Judas Priest and all
this sort of stuff. I said: “I appreciate the attitude,
like, but let’s **** ’em off and get somebody who
appreciates us!” But they did it and it was fine.
I’m glad that they emerged and became a force to
be reckoned with, and gained their own identity,
musically, visually and in every way possible

Bruce Dickinson: It was blindingly obvious that
Maiden were going to be massive. This hyperkinetic band, it was really a force of nature. Paul Di’Anno, he was okay, but I thought: “I could
really do something with that band!”
