Consolidated the Newest Rant and Rant Archive into one button entitled Rants.

Moved the entire site to truemetal.org which is kind enough to host it. Sorry for the inconvenience, and if you notice any bugs please email me.

Added Rant #16: Metal Classics/Classical Metal.

Added another band to the Other Bands page.

Added Rant #15: Alternica.

Updated the Other Bands page, adding a couple bands to the list and links to the essential albums from each.

Added Rant #14: Rotterdam, Holland, 10th September 1999.
By the way, due to several factors including a new job, I haven't had much time to work on the page lately or even keep up with all the email. Sorry. Hopefully things will improve.

Added Rant #13: The Mighty Maiden Touring Machine.

Added comments by Steve Harris for almost all of the songs from the albums Iron Maiden, Killers, Number Of The Beast, and Piece Of Mind.

Added Rant #12: Blaze Days Re-Visited.

Added Rant #11: Alexander The Great: History and Heavy Metal.

Added the Maiden England and Virtual XI promo picture discs.

Upgraded the Ed Hunter unlocker to level 6.

Added a very interesting little RealAudio clip that has Paul Di'Anno introducing Maiden's new guitarist Tony Parsons in September 1979. It can be found in the Misc Sounds section of the site.

The Maiden trivia contest is over, and the results are posted to Rant #10: Iron Maiden Contest Results. Also added some interesting photos to the "other pictures" section of The X Factor.

Updated the lyrics to "Roll Over Vic Vella" so that they pretty much match the Iron Maiden version of the song. Also added my interpretation of the spoken dialogue at the beginning of the song.

Added the ticket to the introduction page. You'd better get yours before they're all gone!

Upgraded the Ed Hunter unlocker to level 5.

Added Rant #9: Iron Maiden Contest. It's a contest that was inspired by the official one for the re-releases, but maybe the questions on this one are a bit harder.

Upgraded the Ed Hunter unlocker to level 4.

Added an unlocker for Ed Hunter that gives immediate access to levels 2 and 3.

Added some more impressions of Ed Hunter. Also, please email me if you've managed to finish the game!

Added some first impressions of Ed Hunter.

Added Ed Hunter o the albums section. A complete review will follow as soon as I'm finished playing the game.

Updated the commentary for the song "Bring Your Daughter...To The Slaughter".

Added the Live +one EP to the albums section.
Added the 12" Poster-sleeve LP version of From Here To Eternity, which has a different cover picture.

Added Rant #8: A Brief Commentary on Metal's Future.
Added some new info on the guitar solos for some of the b-sides, provided by Forostar.

Added another Janick guitar solo to the Misc Sounds section.

Added the No Prayer For The Dying full album picture disc. Added the text for the Blaze interview on the Man On The Edge, Part II single.

Added two more items to the list of interesting closeups from the Powerslave album cover which I hadn't noticed before. Thanks to James for pointing them out.

Added the Man On The Edge picture disc.

Added an interesting quote to the "Still Life" commentary from Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings that seems to eerily match the subject of the song.

Added Bruce to the Other Bands page.

Removed the About The Ratings page because it didn't really say anything that wasn't already obvious. Replaced it with the Other Bands page, which briefly describes a few of my favourite non-Maiden bands.

Added some brief commentary for the Be Quick Or Be Dead single.
Added lyrics for "Nodding Donkey Blues", although I had to transcribe them myself and some were unintelligible.
Also updated the Backward Messages page with some new information about the apparent "Drifter" message.

Added Rant #7: A Brief Commentary on Metal's Past.

Removed the pictures from the Miscellaneous Sounds section of the site, which were making the page cumbersome and slow.

Added a scan of the original U.S. Capital Records Piece Of Mind cassette, which has a backwards cover picture.

Added the Wasting Love single.

Added Rant #6: Maiden Reunion.

Added Rant #5: Urs Hillebrand.

Added Rant #4: The Setlist.
