Iron Maiden Can Save Your Life
Answering about why metal was important to him, stand-up comedian Steve Hughes, a metal fanatic whose shows spin around the subject, has this response:"My friends in Sweden are total Iron Maiden fanatics. They've got every Maiden record that was released in every country. That's dedication. Masterful. So they went to Croatia to see them. While they were on the train, passengers were being robbed by Croatian soldiers. They were sitting there in their Maiden shirts and bullet-belts freaking out. Suddenly, the soldiers confronted them armed with machine guns. They noticed their shirts and yelled 'Iron Maiden! The greatest band in the world! You are okay!' and left them alone. Heavy metal will save your life. If they were into Westlife, they would have been shot in the face."
Steve's show 'At War With Satan' is on at The Albany, Great Portland Street, London on October 14, 8:30pm.
