FLIGHT 666: THE FILM

I just watched IM Flight 666. Wow...well done. The American documentary crew did an outstanding job. They may have even portrayed Iron Maiden as more British than they would have liked (e.g. the Monty Python references, the occasional round of golf, etc.), but it was an eye-opener for me -- one who was turned off by IM's skull-encrusted album art of the 80's, and thus quickly dismissed out of hand. Now after watching Flight 666 (as my introduction to IM) have to admit that they are the real deal -- serious musicians, plus a great live act, plus longevity. I will be listening to IM now with hopes that they are truly as great as this concert rockumentary implies. One final comment -- flying around the world in their own 757, piloted by no less than their lead singer, should give anyone pause to appreciate Iron Maiden for all that they have done.
