 | | cu8sfan: He hasn't been seen today. Maybe he's gone away for his birthday. Btw how did cg.com know it was his birthday? Big Brother's everywhere! |

| Oct-05-04 | | iron maiden: Hey everybody! Wish I could've been here sooner, but unfortunately I had to work. <patzer2> More Iron Maiden works related to classical literature and history include Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, The Trooper, Montsegur, Paschendale, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son and Phantom of the Opera. A big thank you to chessgames.com and everybody else who (somehow) found out my seventeenth birthday was today. To be honest I think "Can I Play With Madness" is slightly overrated, but it's still a nice song. |
|
| Oct-05-04 | | iron maiden: BTW chessgames, who was the "good authority" that gave you the idea for the pun? I owe him or her the biggest "thank you" of all! |
|
| Oct-06-04 | | kevin86: You have a heart:<iron maiden> |
|
| Nov-06-04 | | morphy234: UP THE IRONS! I slap myself for not knowing who Iron Maiden is. |
|
| Nov-18-10 | | sevenseaman: Why should so much kibitzing be wasted on a mere pun? If it is not widely understood, it cant be much fun. A pun-tortured King once banned all punning. The court jester was an addict and could not resist. He was duly sentenced to be hanged. After some pleas for mercy the King relented to give one last chance to the joker. The court officer with the dispatch, 'the King has spared your life on condition never to pun again'. 'No noose is good noose' said the unfortunate one and got hanged. CG, who is the King here? A good game though. |

| Oct-10-14 | | Rookiepawn: <If Iron Maiden ever wrote a song about sex, drugs, or rock and roll, I never heard it> It is curious to value art according to its subject. This criterion would certainly rule out the Arabian Nights (lots of sex), Shakespeare (murder, madness, greed, violence), de Quincey (drugs galore), Goya (a father eating his own son!, which by the way belongs to Greek mithology, something to rule out too). |

| Oct-10-14 | | nok: Never heard of a lady named Charlotte? |

| Jul-18-16 | | Cobax12: Keres Atack 6g4! |

<Why should so much kibitzing be wasted on a mere pun?> Another great question. |

| May-24-18 | | dumbgai: The best Iron Maiden song is Hallowed Be Thy Name. |

 | | takchess: Thought it was a play on word of one of his book titles Ie How to beat Bobby Fischer etc. Good Pun although it needed to be explained to me. Those little Mednis endgame books aren't bad by the way. It must of been tough making a living as a US GM in the 60's and 70's. |

 | | offramp: <morphy234: i don't get the pun.
<siggemannen: it's an Iron Maiden tune>>That is <one> explanation. A more reasonable alternative is that the organisers of the very strong Parcetic Memorial in 1974 approached Jan Timman and said,
<"We want you to have an easy start to this tournament. Any wishes?">
To which Jan Timman repled...

| May-24-18 | | ChessHigherCat: <dumbgai> Sure you're not thinking of Alice Cooper?
Alice Cooper Lyrics - Hallowed Be My Name - AZLyrics
https://www.azlyrics.com › A › Alice Cooper Lyrics That's on the Love it Death album, which is pure gold except for "Eighteen", which was of course was the big hit they wrote as a compromise to get the record made. Here's the crappy song on which the pun is based, which is at the opposite end of the creativity scale from Alice Cooper.

|
| May-24-18 | | ChessHigherCat: <morfishne> Anyway, for the REAL one... |
|

 | | HeMateMe: I don't understand the pun. I hope it isn't something dirty... |
|
| May-24-18 | | morfishine: <ChessHigherCat> Well in any case, these are different song titles by 1 word, 'my' versus 'thy' :) |
|
| May-24-18 | | ChessHigherCat: I confess I never got into Iron Maiden (neither the group nor the spiked casket) and never even heard that song. "Hallowed be My Name", a real messiah complex, has a lot more potential for craziness. |
|
| May-24-18 | | ChessHigherCat: It tried to find it on YouTube but they only have a completely ridiculous Cheech&Chong version! You can get MP3 versions of Love it Death and Killer here https://www.amazon.com/Love-Death-A... |
|
| May-24-18 | | thegoodanarchist: <If Iron Maiden ever wrote a song about sex, drugs, or rock and roll, I never heard it> Well of course it wasn't Iron Maiden!
It was...
Ian Dury and Chaz Janke who wrote it.
And Ian performed it with the Blockheads |
