Btw, if Axl imagined where Guns would be in 2013 and where Iron would be in 2013... he wouldn't say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TombRaider Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 I'm sure Axl was not trying to offend Maiden. you can see he's making an effort not to laugh. It's obviously a tongue in cheek answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TombRaider Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Even if Axl wasn't joking, you gotta see where he's coming from. This was in 1988, when Maiden were touring one of their most ambitious albums ever: Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Their stage was great, with the ice and the giant Eddie from the album cover, but it was also a little bit Spinal Tapish. GnR was a whole different thing. They were very raw at that time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dariablue Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Then GNR became Spinal Tap and the whole thing came full circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Use Your Delusion 1 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 shame Axl didn't take more from Maidens book tbhGNR = AFD-UYI 1&2 thats itMaiden on the other hand had "iron maiden" and "killers" with Di Annio and the "Number of the Beast" "Piece of Mind" "Powerslave" "Somewhere Back in Time" and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" before going downhill. Heck "Fear of the Dark" "Brave New World" and their most recent album ain't bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaider Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) Maiden has a totally different dynamic as a band, though, with Steve being the most prolific songwriter in the band. I recommend you read their official biography. You'll realize they're all good friends or at least get along just fine. They've never been heavy drinkers or junkies. I think that helps. And they have Rod Smallwood, probably the best manager a bad could ever have. Iron Maiden and GnR are two different beasts, totally different. GnR's self destruction was inevitable. Too many people with very serious drinking and drug abuse problems, a singer with a giant ego and a very short fuse, prone to throwing tantrums on stage... It was gonna happen sooner or later. Iron Maiden, on the other hand, seems to be the perfect band, at least now. And even when they fired the people they fired, the band was never in real danger of disappearing, not even when Bruce left. I think Maiden is a very stable band.
