Greenlit?

aba: Greenlit?

agreed. this headline could have been done better...something like: "limited edition Vans shoes allow you to run to the hiiilllls" or something.

Iron Maiden are copying the Misfits.

(new window)

i would SO have these in '86

Let's hope this isn't the start of a run down the same road KISS went down.
Maiden is too good a group for that.

Their bank accounts must be running looooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOww wwwww yeaaaaaahhhh!!!

ChemicalRummy: Well done, your headline overflows with win. The only thing to add would be a lament concerning the now-nearly-complete whoring out of rockers to the corporations.

Whoa to you, oh Earth and Sea
For the Devil sends the Beast with wrath
In his limited-edition Vans shoes
For he knows the time is short.

This is the first time I've been able to say this.

We've had these in the UK for a while now.

/Feels weird.

Start ?

Old news? We've had them on the west coast for a while.

Someone hasn't been paying attention.

rocinante721: i would SO have these in '86

for sure man for sure...

What a great time for ad slogans.

Run to the hills... in style!
Perfect for a stroll down Acacia Avenue.
Die with your boots on. Live with your vans.
Walking through the city, looking oh so pretty.

/Add yours.

I like Iron Maiden, but lets have a contest!

Let's see who can write a headline more boring than this one above!

Here's is my entry:

/ got nothing'... because there is nothin'...

...and yet look at all the attention it gets. Crazy.

(Sung to the tune of Where Eagles Dare)

'They wore their Vans and felt so al-live
They would have cool in about nineteen eight fi-ve'

I GOT MY VANS ON BUT THEY LOOK LIKE SNEAKERS
I GOT MY VANS ON BUT THEY LOOK LIKE SNEAKERS
I GOT MY VANS ON BUT THEY LOOK LIKE SNEAKERS
I GOT MY VANS ON BUT THEY LOOK LIKE SNEAKERS
I GOT MY VANS ON BUT THEY LOOK LIKE SNEAKERS

Bring your daughter to the shoe store...

/overdo the British accent a bit, and it even rhymes

Die with your Vans on!

Van-tom of the Opera

/insert coolest maiden riff ever here!

Action figures are one thing.
When they start selling out to toothbrush companies and putting their faces on baby bibs, then I'll know they've gone to far.

umm hate to be the bearer of bad news but they do have iron maiden baby bibs. saw them at hot topic sometime during the christmas season buying my sister in law a gift certificate to the place

Telekon: umm hate to be the bearer of bad news but they do have iron maiden baby bibs. saw them at hot topic sometime during the christmas season buying my sister in law a gift certificate to the place

NOOOOOOOO! It can't be!! Oh wait...lookit this...



/not as bad as the KISS Kasket

Shouldn't they be Reeboks? White ones?

I saw the slip ons they have, and when I saw them all I could think is "WANT!!!"

(Insert "Running Free" joke here)

Maiden has merchandised since day one. It has not hurt their music at all.

They have always been a band with a cartoonish sense of humor and they've always put their logo on stuff.

The main difference between Maiden and KISS is that KISS has always sucked as a band. While Maiden has always kicked ass.

Maiden has proven that they are metal, hell 99.9% of metal bands working today count them as a direct influence. They can make as much cash as they want.

/Huuuuuuuuuge Maiden fan since 1981.

Up the Irons!

RagingLeonard: The main difference between Maiden and KISS is that KISS has always sucked as a band. While Maiden has always kicked ass.

This is gonna be good when the KISS fanbois come out and play, which will be after their mothers change their nappies.

If only that was pre-coked-out Lohan...
