Hes back the number of the beast

Oh the boys from Iron Maiden bashing it out on those guitars!
Back in the charts

and the lead singer is a commercial pilot!
Imagine!

Judas Priest have a new album coming out in February too, called 'Angel Of Retribution'. 'Proper' rock's coming back. Never really liked Maiden, but given today's unappetising cocktail of the likes of Busted and McFly we've got to take what we can get.

Having said that, new bands such as Franz Ferdinand, The Killers and so on brought out great albums last year, ones you can dance to that make you smile, rather than ones that make you burst into tears and slit your wrists. We're slowly emerging from the wilderness.

really, with halford at the helm??

Yep. They're on tour this year too. Rob Halford surprisingly returned to do last year's Ozzfest, followed by a sellout tour of the US. I can only assume he's realised now that no-one cares if he's gay or not, only that he can still put together groundbreaking British metal songs. Can't wait for the album, and with any luck I'll try and get some tickets too.

Saw a trailer the other day for some new series on Discovery where he goes and flies lots of different machines. Don't recall when it starts tho' but knowing Discovery it will be on heavy rotation.
