Was it 1975? #ironmaiden

Make a cup of tea, put a record on. I’m sure Elastica meant Powerslave.

A lot of “fans” don’t realise that Losfer Words (Big Orra) is about a World War II sword flight on a plane.

I’ve had quite a stressful day today. So, I’m putting a record on.

@impq.bsky.social Blaze really is impossibly nice, huh?

Finally, I took 2 pairs of socks to the pub, courtesy of M’Lud.

More quality toot from Cyndy Hull.

Quality toot from Anthony Styles. HE’S GOT A PUB IN HIS HOUSE!

Was it Threads? #ironmaiden

This film is going to make me cry. I can feel it. I was welling up at the trailer

Had a look at the trailer. Think I heard Martin Birch's voice in there, which could be interesting. Suspect the film will be fascinating/depressing, though.

Coming soon…

Correct!

Correct!

Correct!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

World’s biggest Nicko? #ironmaiden

We had a lovely day today.

If @impq.bsky.social are going to continue with niche within a niche within a niche content like “Steve Harris’s right hand technique” then this podcast maybe the single most focused & targeted piece of internet content I’ve experienced since that day i had to buy my own wallet off someone on eBay.

Owner of two books mentioned in this ep. (Oh, and Bachelor Boys (with no vomit stain)) I got Wally when I was 9 or 10. I was much too young for it... for some reason it has never been chucked out. I've been meaning to re-read it to see what I make of it now I'm much too old for it.

Lester Bangs there with another drug fuelled, gonzo but incredibly detailed music review.

Correct!

There was a new edition of @impq.bsky.social today and I listened to 60 minutes of it on the elliptical trainer at the gym. But you don't need any fitness equipment to enjoy what must almost certainly by now be the UK's leading pub-quiz format funny podcast about Iron Maiden. And that's a promise!

It’s awake!

Just a warning… it’s our longest episode tomorrow. Good luck. Sleep well.

David Moody’s remix of Dance of Death is still superior to the original. Well worth hearing. It’s on Episode 17 of our podcast. Give it a go.

FIRST LISTEN KNEE JERK REACTION REVIEW: I like it! He cannot sing a note, but he’s clearly still a great guitarist. Generally, all the things he’s hated for are the exact same reasons he’s loved. It’s fun! Might get in-depth on the podcast after more listens. Right now, I’m listening to Joan Baez.

I’ve got the album on now. I Don’t Care couldn’t be any more Zippy.

@impq.bsky.social Hey everyone who likes Norwegian prog metal! Come to The Dome tomorrow night (Friday 23rd) to see Avkrvst. They're great. A couple of us will be in Aces & Eights for a pint beforehand as well tidal.com/album/284264...

@impq.bsky.social Everyone should know The History Of Heavy Metal. If you love hilarity and metal (which every IMPQ listener no doubt does) then this is essential. Also, as much as I love Zippy, I can only ever hear Mustaine as per this performance.

@impq.bsky.social Fun fact about 18 Flights - Blaze's promoter in South America asked him to write a song about touring down there, and he decided to write it about that earthquake in Chile. Which is very metal, indeed.

Four! 22 Acacia Avenue, Hooks in You, From Here to Eternity and Senjutsu

Sorry to put this here. Some ideas have to be shared with metal people and I don’t know any. SERIES PITCH: as loose reboot of Citizen Smith set on an Operation: Mindcrime future. It’s called Revolution Colin.

@impq.bsky.social the picture of Blaze on his FB at the moment, promoting the tour from his latest glamorous Ryanair flight, just makes me love him even more. #legend #nolegroom

Now with a cursed new theme tune

It’s 7am! Time to get up, shower, have breakfast, iron your shirt, put on your business suit, kiss your partner goodbye for the day and then go back to bed to listen to Iron Maiden Pub Quiz. Brand new episode out today!

Tomorrow…

In Aces+Eights with a Sazerac Rye smoothing out my painkillers. It's lovely but I'm sad that @michaellegge.bsky.social @danmersh.bsky.social @paullitchfield.bsky.social @minimeier.bsky.social @andymch.bsky.social @trillianjones.bsky.social @frazerdjones.bsky.social @kirkie.bsky.social aren't here

Janick Gers' real name is Terry Humphries.

#ironmaiden Come on , IMPQ Troopers! You can do this!

This is lovely! Thanks, Andy!

I’m on a train. There’s a man sat near me wearing a Live After Death hoodie. I’m trying not to speak to him, but I might crack pretty soon.
