Episode 38: Iron Maiden Piece Of Mind feat. Travis Perrotta
Description
It’s time to pour that brown ale, thrust your sabres and Up the Irons, because we’re talking some Maiden with our guest Travis Perrotta. We review their 1983 album Piece of Mind. In addition to discussing every track, we debate whether it’s a true metal classic or overrated by Maiden fans. Other topics include: Clive Burr vs Nicko McBrain, the myth of Icarus and why he might not be the best role model, literal dinosaur rock, can a bass scale be considered “a hook”, and who’s more pretentious Steve Harris or Bruce Dickinson? There’s also a surprise visit from Travis’s air conditioner and the band Sonata Arctica gets the only exposure they’ll ever receive. If you love Maiden, this episode is for you. If you hate Maiden, this episode is for you.
