I visit the Iron Maiden website every day, but apparently I need to pay closer attention. I usually only look at the huge news box and if it hasn't changed I leave. Earlier this week a new item that was a little bit further down caught my eye.
Iron Maiden's Gonna Get Ya...Dancing!
My first thought was *gasp* they used the Something Something...something format that I use on every article link on my main page! If this is anyone other than Steve Allen, you're stealing my bit! Then I thought, "Ooooh, Iron Maiden webmaster, visit my site often and then show it to Bruce Dickinson and then send me something like Bruce Dickinson." Or his Stranger In A Strange Land costume. I would wear it every day. Or just a photo of him from the Samson days. Whatever.
Then I figured, where there is dancing, there certainly must be prancing, I should take a look. And was I ever glad I did. This is without a doubt the best post ever. If you don't feel like going, I will give you the gist. The header reads Iron Maiden's gonna get ya! On Broadway!
Yep. Iron Maiden is planning a musical. According to the site, it will be a six hour long extravaganza. It's based on a movie about dance marathons. Brilliant! This is the best idea ever and the surviving members of Queen wish that We Will Rock You had such a great premise. I can't wait to buy the cast album. Best of all, there is that part where the post is dated April 1.
Dear Iron Maiden,
I love you. This is the single greatest piece of comedy in six paragraphs that I have ever seen. Please tell me that those comments by Bruce are real comments made by Bruce for this very special item. "Giving it that Broadway feel," indeed.
Love,
DragonAttack, Comedy Fan, Rocksnob
P.S. I love you.
