OK - it took longer than planned and we couldn't pull off the guest but we turn our attention to the greatest Heavy Metal band in the world - Iron Maiden.
They've been going over 45 years since their formation in 1975, hitting the big time in 1980 and with a hiccup or two, are still going very strong now (latest album Senjustsu is not represented in this podcast as the CD compilation was made well before its release).
There is vocalist discussion, bass discussion, Alfred Lord Tennyson makes a cameo along with a Samuel Taylor Coleridge namecheck and a cult 1970s horror flick.
Joel's revenge is fitting but, on this podcast, short - as the original version is sweary and we intend staying PG friendly.
