| Favorite
IRON MAIDEN CDS: |
| |
Love 'em all but if I had to choose; Killers and Number of the Beast. Mainly because they were the records (or in the case of Killers--8-track) that turned me on to them. |

What does this band mean to me? |
| |
Like I've been telling everyone; I've lived and died by Maiden. I was made for this band. In '82, one of my buddies from school (thanks Rob--man, this is all your fault!) loaned me his Killers 8-track and I've been a dedicated fan since. I vividly remember playing air-bass to the tape while I worked and saved for the real-thing! Iron Maiden has been my favorite band for the better part of my life for reasons more than just their music. The bands or singers I've been fans of (with some exceptions) have turned me off to them once you get to know more about them. Maiden's different; they're honest guys that look you square in the eye on stage and as proven in all of their documentaries, "Day in the Life" videos they've released, they're just ordinary guys who have a genuine respect for their fans. Good character means alot to me and all the guys in Iron Maiden, past and present easily qualify. They're my "Blood Brothers"! |
Hobbies
and Interests.
Playing bass. I also play some acoustic gigs at Dockside restaurant in Alton Bay...good times! Red Sox/ Patriots. Being a good Dad to my teenage daughter and trying to be a better husband to my wife Roxanne than she is a wife to me!
Damn-nearly impossible! Is that a hobby? Well, if not, it can be interesting!!! |
| What
Jim Howe means to this band: |
| |
"Jim is the best kept Maiden secret ever! We thought we'd never find someone with Harris chops in New England again. Well, Jim is top notch and he's a huge Harris / Maiden fan. Jim's energy is contagious. We're in Heaven! Up the Irons!"
