<< re iron maiden vs boc:
one obvious similarity missed in this conversation is that martin birch
produced maiden's 'killers' (and their 1st 10 lps) and boc's 'cultasaurus'
lp, both of which were compared earlier. i wouldn't compare boc and maiden on
any other level than that. certainly not lyrically.
on that score, i've always thought that boc had a lot in common with cheap
trick, beleive it or not, in their knack for operating successfully in a
genre while simultaneously poking fun at it (boc: metal / cheap trick: pop
rock). anyone who takes boc's 'leather/red and black/ww2 conspiracy etc etc.'
stuff 100% seriously should listen to maiden (who've always been dead serious
about their stuff) instead. one has to look for the 'wink' (perhaps in boc's
case a slightly sinister one) in boc's and c. trick's music/lyrics.
or check out judas priest, who didn't have any major success until they
delved into self-parody with '77's 'hell bent for leather'. still great
stuff, but please don't pretend it's all 'for real'. one must maintain one's
sense of perspective.
