@[infectedmonkey96:815] There are lots of pubs in England called The Red Lion. However, The Red Lion in Leytonstone, UK is where Steve, Dave Murray and Doug Sampson (that's who Sampson in the song refers to) met Paul Di'Anno and offered him an audition. I found all of this with a quick search on Wikipedia so there's not a lot of detail in it, sorry. In terms of whether they actually went looking for a singer in a pub, many pubs in the UK act as music venues for local and unsigned bands so they may have gone along to see if the act playing that night had anyone they could use - which it turns out they did - or they may have just been in the pub for a drink and bumped into this guy who said "I can sing" so they gave him an audition. I'm not a big Maiden fan but was aware that this song was about them so thought I would do a little research into it. I think the main problem that NOFX have with them is not that they don't do drugs, but that they dropped their punk rock roots. |
