  1. Dickinson was tops too..

    Still is according to our kid who saw them at Twickers last year :nod:

    I was there and can indeed verify that this is true.

    Curiously Dickinson's predecessor, Paul di'Anno fronted an incredible live band.

    Having seen Dickinson as the front man for Samson prior to his Maiden days I can only conclude that it is the band as a whole that has that on stage wow factor, rather than its front man.

    Never got to see them with Di'Anno (boo) :( Mind you I was 6 when he left (hooray) :) From what I've seen he certainly gave them a different energy, and more of a punk vibe. But then their songs back then were more condusive to that.

    There's no doubt that having 'Arry and the boys backing Dicko makes a difference, but then so does having some belting songs. My knowledge of Samson is limited but I son't think they had anything in the same league as Hallowed By Thy Name or the Trooper.

    Didn't he try to convince people that his name was Bruce Bruce in the Samson days?

    Hallowed is an amazing song.

    I'm going to listen to it now.

  2. Link

    BIRMINGHAM are in talks to build an 'iconic new stadium' and the owners want it up within five years.

    Blues chairman David Gold has held preliminary talks with the FA to get the stadium accepted as a possible World Cup ground in 2018.

    Gold said: "We are talking to the City Council and the stadium would be a joint venture.

    "We are going for a 46,000 seater ground, 6,000 above FIFA requirements. I'd love to get one over on Villa!"

    Sad.
