** Recaps from Fire Eater Wizard **

On The Metallic Onslaught: The show did not, after all, have to manage
without Rick, as he was there, although a couple hours late. Shoebox was, of
course, not there, Everyone else was, including the princess. When Jeffie
got there, at first everyone was nice to him, this was part of a plan
communicated earlier in the night by Azkath, who knocked Jeffie out and laid
out the plan to Joe and the Princess. This continued for awhile making
Jeffie really happy. When Jeffie asked what had happened to him when he got
there, as he found himself at the bottom of the stairs, with Azkath there,
they told him Rick attacked him, he then attacked Rick and chased him from
the building, and then, for some reason, blacked out. This made sense to
him, and then, after Jeffie had read them a news story about someone who
flashed a lot of people and took pictures of their reactions, Jeffie asked
if he should try that. They were foolish enough to tell him "why not?". And
so Jeffie flashed everyone there and got their reactions on camera. After
awhile, Lance said that the night had gone on for too long without Jeffie
getting a beatdown. He told Jeffie that he had a really cool musical
instrument for him to try. It was a bottle. Lance told Jeffie that, if he
put his head inside it and sang, it would sound really neat. Jeffie did just
that, having a lot of difficulty fitting it on his head, but, finally doing
it...Whereupon Lance, and everyone else, started pounding and beating on it.
Jeffie began suffocating, and fell to the floor, and Lance then kicked and
stepped on the bottle..Jeffie finally somehow managed to get free as he is
one of those who simply stubbornly refuse to stay dead no matter what is
done to them. After this Joe and Lance apologized to Jeffie and told him
that, after thinking it over, they realized that they perhaps have been too
hard on him over the years, and that they wanted to show him that they like
and appreciate him...They all gave him a hug, although Joe seemed to have
trouble doing it he finally did. Then they told him that next weeks show was
going to be a special show all just for him. A Jeffie appreciation Day. They
told him it would be a lot of fun for him with a lot of cool
surprises...Jeffie was quite excited. So, this week we will all have to see
what they have in store for him...And Joe said the show will not begin until
about 11 o'clock for this week...

On The Last Exit: Half of the band (2 out of 4 members) If Man Is Five were
on. They were there for quite awhile, being interviewed and playing several
awesome acoustic songs. They were very cool. It was decided that, since
everything has season premiers, even stuff like WWE shows, which have no
reruns, this would be the Last Exit's season finale and next weeks show will
be the season premier. So they set about giving us mysteries to ponder over
'til then...Like, what happened to Rahul, they think he just went home, but,
did he really?? You just never know. And, what will happen to Gorgar during
the week? Will he make it back?? And, what stupid thing will Just Joe do
next?? (I don't think they mentioned that one, but, I'm throwing it out
there). Also on this show...After the band had left, most of the rest of the
night consisted of violence, brawls, and beat downs...First Just Joe began
abusing co-host David (who actually managed to show up for 2 whole weeks in
a row)...Just Joe got on David's lap and started doing things to him which
apparently were very painful as David screamed in pain...Then the rest of
the night consisted of Azkath slapping Just Joe around and giving him
several prolonged beat downs...First he attacked him with a baseball
bat...Then, feigning an injury, produced a crutch which he beat him with so
badly that the crutch was destroyed. Then it was back to the bat again...It
was all very brutal, severe, and very cool...At the end of the night, as
they were going over the cliffhangers which we are to await the answers to,
and signing off, Azkath told Just Joe that there was something in the
hallway...They all started screaming that it was a monster, and that it had
and was dragging away first Just Joe and then Azkath as well, and,
presumably, everyone there...So, what will be the fate of the Last Exit
crew?? Will any of them survive the clutches of the terrible monster? Will
any of them be alive for the season premier?? And, what stupid thing will
Just Joe do next (if he survives, that is)???Oh the suspense! To find out
the answers to these and many other pressing questions, be sure and tune
into the season premier of The Last Exit For The Lost this week!!!
_______________________________________________

If I could remember things, it would be a good help. This week will indeed
be the Season Premier of The Last Exit for the Lost. We should have some
special guests, and I need to set things up. I planned on doing some of
this earlier in the week, alas, but then there is my lack of memory. The
website for If Man is Five is http://www.blackazul.com/ifmanisfive. They
played last night along with Black Labeled, The Pushrods, and G-Men, and
that was a pretty damn cool show. Lots o' Fun. And it was Just Joe's
birthday. We will have to cause something to happen this week in some sort
of celebration of that...

And, yes, due to presidential debates, the Metallic Onslaught will start a
bit late, 11pm. It will be Jeffie appreciation night, and I have no idea
what those guys have planned. Oh, and speaking of presidential debates,
factcheck.org is an awesome site that provides non-biased reviews of all
facts stated in various political speeches, debates, commercials, etc.
Something you should read to see just how much who is lying...

For Immediate Release:

Legendary IRON MAIDEN Unveils
'The History Of IRON MAIDEN - Part 1; The Early Days'
2-DVD Set Through Sanctuary/Metal-Is Records on November 9th

‘The Early Days’ is a unique collection of archive material packed onto 2
DVD’s that covers the beginnings of the band’s career from the struggle to
get gigs in East End pubs through to becoming within just 5 years a band
capable of headlining arenas anywhere around the World and achieving this
without any radio support to speak of at any time.

This isn’t simply a band history but more the intense and personal voyage of
a remarkable group of individuals who shared one vision and worked hard to
achieve that goal without any compromises along the way. It also
demonstrates the band’s unique relationship with their fans, the foundation
for which was laid right back then …at the beginning.

The first DVD contains nearly 2 hours of archive Maiden live concert
rarities that demonstrate the energy and power that propelled them to the
forefront of World Metal.

The first program of DVD 1 is Maiden’s first ever concert video ‘Live at The
Rainbow’ which was produced by EMI back in 1980, shortly after they were
signed and was one of the first ever concert VHS releases. This title has
not been widely available for some time so fans can now see the band fronted
by Paul Di’Anno singing such classics as "Killers" and "Phantom Of the
Opera".

The rest of the footage on DVD 1 consists of two shows neither of which has
ever been fully available. Beast Over Hammersmith was filmed at the
beginning of the 'Beast On the Road' tour that to many fans at the time was
the first introduction to Bruce Dickinson. Songs like “Hallowed be Thy Name“
and “Number of The Beast” have proved to become regular features in the
Maiden live set since this was first recorded in 1982 and now thanks to some
modern reconstructive work fans can enjoy the highlights from this rare
footage.

To complete the first disk is ‘Live At Dortmund’, a massive concert in
Dortmund in December 1983 originally filmed for German TV with Maiden
headlining a stellar Metal bill as part of their 'World Piece Tour'.
Originally the show was broadcast live across Europe but has not been seen
since until now. Research into the footage shows that all the original film
has since been destroyed so this is truly now a rare piece of Maiden
history.

DVD 2 includes the feature length (90 minutes) Documentary titled “The Early
Days” with extensive interviews and photographs and historical detail.

The documentary which forms the basis for the title contains over 90 minutes
of extraordinary interviews with the colourful cast of characters involved
with Maiden over this early period - current band members, a whole host of
ex band members, managers, agents, journalists, photographers, EMI execs
past and present, crew, promoters, fans - all of whom have their own
perspective of the events and process that led up Maiden’s Worldwide
success, and the fun and hard work involved.

It chronicles their early struggles in the mid to late 70’s in London’s East
End where the hardest thing was just keeping a line-up together for more
than a couple of pub gigs, through the early successes of their eponymous
debut album and “Killers”, their first World Tours, the colossal impact on
the Rock World that was “The Number of the Beast” and through to the end of
their first full headlining World Tour - 'Piece of Mind' - in 1983.

A very honest and revealing (but also entertaining) insight into just what
it was like early on in the World of Eddie and Maiden, its also a guide book
to the problems faced and attitude and talent needed to get a band off the
ground and to the pinnacle of Worldwide success - and then to keep it
there!!! It is a fascinating and compelling story for any music fan.

Also on Disk 2 is a 30 min TV Documentary by LWT shown in 1980 on the rise
of Heavy Metal featuring the band and footage of them performing at The
Marquee in 1979 and an insight into the new breed of music fan that arose
out of the ashes of the punk era.

Possibly one of the rarest items on The Early Days is a 45 minute home video
recorded by the band of them performing at The Ruskin Arms in East London.
This footage was originally feared lost forever however by complete chance a
surviving copy was found in Steve's Harris' home and the delicate tape was
processed and now included in it's entirety. With the exception of a very
short clip used in 12 Wasted Years this has never been seen by anyone except
the band themselves making it such a rare gem for the collector.

Extras include rare TV appearances like their first 'Live' performance on
Top Of The Pops and Rock and Pop on German TV, Special photo gallery
revealing never before seen personal pictures taken by the band and crew and
a thorough overview and detail of all the bands artwork, tour programmes and
imagery both on tour and their studio releases, plus of course some hidden
goodies.

“The Early Days” is the first of what will eventually become a series of
DVDs to be released over the coming years. Each release will extensively
cover a period of the bands career to become a collection of not only
re-mastered footage but also previously unavailable and unseen material
taken directly from the bands own personal collections, along with extensive
interviews.

Says Steve Harris, "We haven't had any of our original live videos available
for some time so when we started looking at this project we thought lets
make each DVD a real document of not only the shows but everything around
that time. Everybody has been digging through the archives to make this the
most complete it can possibly be and I’m really proud of the end result. A
lot of the footage we’d thought had been lost for good like the home video
of the Ruskin Arms. Both disks contain some real collectors stuff. For
example we filmed the first Hammersmith Odeon shows with Bruce but because
of various lighting issues we never felt that it was really good enough to
use. It just never really captured the excitement of show or the spectacle
that it was - but by the time it was on film we could do nothing about it.
However with technology being what it is now we've revisited and repaired
some of the problems with the original masters to get it to a point where we
can finally keep our fans happy by making it available.”

"I have to say that I've really had a lot of fun recalling the early
beginnings and we've managed to interview just about everybody who was ever
part of Maiden from the very first line up in 1975 through to the band that
everyone knows now. I found things I thought I had lost over the years and
sometimes the smallest thing can remind you of exactly why you started doing
this in the first place and the struggle everyone went through. I think the
fans are going to love this."

Plans are currently being put together for Iron Maiden play some festival
and stadium dates next summer and bring the 'Early Days' back to life. The
band will be linking in the look and feel of their beginnings in the stage
set as well as performing some classic tracks from that time which haven’t
been heard live for a while!!. Dates will start to be announced in the near
future

Says manager Rod Smallwood, "On reviewing all these great shows it just
reminded us all of the great songs that the band have in their repertoire.
It's always difficult when touring a new album to include too many of the
older songs which the fans always ask for as the band would end up playing
for 4 or 5 hours! The plan for next year is to recreate the power and energy
and look of their early shows and eventually continue this idea with each
subsequent DVD release."

The next in series will be the spectacular 'Live After Death' which will
cover the bands legendary four sold out shows at Long Beach Arena in 1984
through to the Somewhere in Time tour in 1987.

* The unassuming town of Greensburg, Pa. (pop. 16,000, just east
of Pittsburgh), was the site of two high-profile arrests recently. In
July, James Kilpatrick, 21, was suspected as the man responsible
for several toe-kissing incidents, including one underneath a public
library table, when he allegedly kissed the feet of a 12-year-old girl
and asked if he could kiss her liver. In September, Robert
Domasky, 48, who cross-dresses as "Kelly," was charged with
trespassing (and suspected of identity theft) after "Kelly" was
found outside the girls' locker room at Greensburg Salem High
School looking for the cheerleading coach. The 200-pound
Domasky said he merely wanted her to teach him some cheers. In
Domasky's apartment, police found cheerleader magazines and
uniforms, pompoms, and photos of "Kelly" in cheerleader garb.

* Nuanced Family Values: Self-described conservative Republican
Larry Schwarz, formerly a legislator and parole board member in
Colorado, was profiled in the Rocky Mountain News in August for
his successful new career as warehouse manager and bookkeeper
for his stepdaughter's pornography business. The stepdaughter had
retired as a porn actress (name: "Jewel DeNyle") and formed
Platinum X Pictures, Canoga Park, Calif., also employing her
mother. Schwarz said he still believes in the Republican ideals of
self-reliance, lower taxes, and individual freedom, and believes
also that he is perfectly well demonstrating "family values."
_____________________________________________________

* Readers' Choice: Emergency medical technicians summoned to
the home of a grossly overweight woman in Stuart, Fla., in August
had the usual problems removing her (inadequate stretcher,
doorways too small), but there was a more serious concern for the
480-lb. woman: She had not budged from her couch in several
years, and its covering had become grafted onto her skin, requiring
her to be transported while on the couch (and the couch surgically
removed at Martin Memorial Hospital). (She died in the hospital,
of breathing complications.)

-- Priests Get Cross With Each Other, 'Alter'cation Ensues --

JERUSALEM - Things got nasty outside the Church of the Holy
Sepulcher, Christianity's holiest shrine, over whether a
door in the basilica should be closed during a procession.
Greek Orthodox and Franciscan priests got so outraged during
the argument that a brutal fist fight ensued. Dozens of
people, including several Israeli police officers, were
injured in the fight at the shrine. Jerusalem police spokes-
man Shmulik Ben-Ruby said four priests were detained.
Church officials revealed that the procession had passed a
Roman Catholic chapel when the priests began arguing over
whether the door to the chapel should be open or closed.
After club-wielding Israeli riot police broke up the fight,
the procession continued.
