Maiden are a real band, look at their f**king success ! Probably the last greats we'll have. Oh but no, give Biffy sodding Clyro a nod and a clap instead. If I was in Maiden id go and create such a sh!t storm at the awards like you wouldn't believe.
Still Steve Harris & Co have proved you don't need a whole lot of media behind you to make it. They were largely ignored in the 80's but went from strength to strength. Iron Maiden are one of the most successful bands in the world right now.
Which makes this obvious snub that bit bloody harder to take! Had it been Oasis or Amy Winehouse with the number one album, they would have been nominated quicker than the white stuff disappears up nostrils backstage (allegedly). Im f**king FUMING, and eventhough I shouldn't be suprised, it has left a very foul taste in my Shanty gob. (Even worse than flat Diamond White cider. Brrrr !)
The Ranter tells it like it is.....
Im just happy ive never watched the thing. 'So why are you getting so mad?' I hear you all ask. Well im the RANTER! Its my job to be getting mad, especially when it involves a bunch of suited tosh pots ignoring one of my most beloved bands OF ALL TIME! Ive been a fan of Iron Maiden since the beginning and to see them treated like this brings the afternoon's scotch back up to my throat.
Its always the f**king way isn't it? The smarmy sycophants who glob onto record companies and listen to every word they say get the medals while the renegades and rebels who don't give a flying carthorse get shunned like leprous pariahs. EVEN WHEN THEY GET A NUMBER ONE ALBUM! Of course heavy metal music has always been the outcast, always been the 'devil worshippers music' (what a laugh that is) so the Sh!t Awards are only carrying on the tradition of ignoring it.
