Yeah, the more I look at it, the weirder it looks. And that's usually pretty telling for me when it comes to grammar and typos: if it looks wrong, it almost always /is/ wrong.

That is a way cool (yet ridiculously daggy) story. Sounds like hilariously good times.

Seeing Iron Maiden earlier this year was more than a little in the same vein. Although, more subtle and less obviously so. I mean, the sets were ridiculously over the top and grandiose, but (subjectively anyway) there's more rigour about IM's classic songs. DL songs, for all their catchiness (or perhaps because of it) don't have that underlying beef and I daresay, breakthrough inventiveness.

Ultimately, IM, for all Bruce Dickenson's falsetto madness, has metal cred that DL simply lacks. But if you strip away all the scenester posing (and I hate hate hate scenterism), they both write kick-arse tunes and put on killer performances. So, really, who cares?

You go see them, you have fun. the end!

For some reason I needed to be a little bitchy this time round. Admittedly I was somewhat influenced by Zero Punctuation...
