The Ryder Cup is coming up. That's the one where it's American golfers versus European ones, and all the wives wear stupid hats. And this year, European captain Nick Faldo has enlisted the help of Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain, a name so ridiculous that it couldn't possibly be fake. Why? Because no one can fire up your gold team like the drummer of a metal band that formed over 30 years ago.
Faldo told BBC anchor Gary Lineker he’d signed up Nicko to help motivate the team…
I’m struggling to picture Colin Montgomerie in his leathers moshing to "Bring Your Daughter… To The Slaughter." It would make a terrible mess of his cashmere sweaters.
Well, then that chubby pusstard Montgomerie can mosh to "Aces High." Powerslave is a way fucking better album anyway. Um, I mean, who listens to that trash anyway? GRRR BALLET!
I think I may have messed that joke up somewhere.

much like judas priest, iron maiden was one of those early 80's "heavy metal" bands with a badass name, and badass artwork, and music that was as queer as a 3 dollar bill.
Powerballads are not queer!
@Lt.: QUEER? What about “Run to the Hills”? Or “Number of the Beast”? Or “Jam Your Sausage in my Bum till You Cum”?

Someone should have told Mr. Ramsay that he wasn't literally supposed to bring Jon-Benet to the Slaughter.

Lt. Winslow, I could not POSSIBLY have said it better myself. Talk about a band that kicks about 85% less ass than it sounds like they should.
What's wrong with Def Leppard's drummer?
Listening (or reading this case) to people bag on Maiden is akin to people who say that Marisa Miller is ugly. Like, you know there are people out there who feel that way, but you just don't want to associate with them.
Faldo's original choice, Spinal Tap's drummer, was unavailable due to a bizarre gardening incident. He didn't have much luck with his subsequent replacements either.
SIX! SIX! SIX! The numbah of Montgomerie's first round!!!!!!
If you can name me a band that rocked out to a Richard Burton movie more then Maiden Ill eat my hat.
@ Angel Eyes – I heard that too. That should be a lesson for all of us to never, ever turn the hedge clippers all the way up to 11.
