Why Iron Maiden’s Like Lady Gaga
A heavy-metal lover writes: ‘It is often said that heavy metal and pop have much more in common than either would like to admit, and there isn’t a band for whom the blurring of the lines is more evident than Iron Maiden. They have always played their shows like heavier versions of the Moulin Rouge: heroically ridiculous, such gigs are as much a spectacle as anything offered by Lady GaGa.’ But don’t talk about Gaga around the Maiden-heads: them’s fightin’ words!
