Iron Maiden making a Portuguese Wine

[Andy Velebil]

For all you heavy metal lovers, get ready for a refreshing Douro wine from Iron Maiden and Van Zeller Wine.

Not sure where all it will be available.

That actually sounds good!

I haven't kept up with the band since college, but they were part of my regular rotation back then. I had rather eclectic taste in music, spanning just about everything.

[Eric Menchen]

On the one hand, I generally view such things like this as marketing gimmicks. On the other, a Van Zeller Douro wine of TN and Roriz is something I would definitely be interested in.

[Phil W]

Right. I love Maiden, but I'm holding out for the AC/DC Charlotte's very very very old Acacia Avenue tawny; maybe I'll try some of Eddie's "old bones" white while I'm waiting...

[Eric Ifune]

You guys are old.
You need to listen to these guys.

Impressive that she can do both they intense growling voice and the very clean singing voice! I wonder how long that will last... seems like the growling has to affect your vocal cords over time.

I'm told with proper training, you don't sacrifice your voice.

I was at one of their shows in Tokyo close to the rail. The vocalist stared me in the eyes with a big smile and flipped me the bird. Only time I didn't mind!

I'm really impressed on how Youtube is able to generate subtitles from such "music" or noise ahaha.

In the same vein as Maiden, there are a lot of alternatives in Europe, but come on... anyway growling and over compressed distortion is not for me.

[Moses Botbol]

Waiting for Saxon tawny and Motorhead colheita.

[Bert VD]

hmm so many unexpected metalheads here

Moses Botbol; there is Motorhead beer, wine, rum and whiskey already. so who knows?
(and Rammstein rum, Kiss rum, AC/DC whiskey and of course; Wines 'n Roses)

[Glenn E.]

Wines 'n Roses

I used to do a little but a little wouldn't do it so the little got more and more...

Fred, perhaps you'd prefer this.

Judas Priest has a rum and maybe something else as well. I haven't bought any musical band liquor so far.
