I never heard that about him shutting down a show either. My Maiden favorites; Number of the beast, 2 minutes to midnight, Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner; Revelations (prob in my top 2 if not 1) The Trooper; and Running Free. All songs that came after Bruce, not sure if he wrote all of them but they are 100% BAD ASS!!!
shane is correct and everyone should acknowledge that maiden rules with bruce dickinson scream for me long beach! scream for me brazil!
Kiss and Motley Crue both should be in the RRHOF. Kiss due to their influence, Crue because they pretty much define an entire era of rock... Hair Bands.
