'What hard rock or heavy metal band should give it up and call it a day,' he says, stalling for time while he reflects on the MANY hard rock and heavy metal bands who should give it up and call it. You know what? It's not so much that I think people should give it up and call it a day. I think people should stop being unrealistic with their expectations. And my peers kill me with this whole, you know, well, I got to give it to ya. Sorry Bruce! Sorry Dick (meaning Dickenson)! 'Iron Maiden for the 2000's.' You know, and they have this whole, like, you know, we're moving, we're continuing on where we left off, bigger and better. It ain't ****ing happening! It's all an oldies show, and everybody should just accept it. And there's nothing wrong with an oldies show - that's what I'll be doing next year. Enjoy it for what it is! People coming to see it, maybe for the first time, maybe one last time. But nobody's picking up and putting on the denim and leather and the patches and startin' buyin' the records and following the band around. And I'm not just talking about Iron Maiden, I'm talking about all of those ****ing bands. All of my peers. They all think - and you know what, KISS almost dodged the bullet when they first came together and they reunited, they seemed to have a clear picture. "We're giving you KISS, 1974, Destroyer tour, the music, the look. We're bringing you back to that time." And then when the stadiums started to be packed in, all of a sudden Gene's going (Dee impersonates Gene), "We're KISS, we're back, boom." And you got Psycho Circus, new costumes, new staging, and it didn't sell for shit! Because people are not going to start, guys in their thirties are not following the band again. Going for one last ****ing hurrah. So, truth is, all of 'em! Everybody should pack it up. Do your ****ing reunion tour. I'm doing it! That's cool! Who better to make money off your ****ing legacy than you? We all deserve it, you know. But do it, and wave goodbye, and you know, and walk off stage. Don't ****ing hang around like a fart in a paper bag!"

What do you think? Could we ad Bon Jovi in this category.
I really think Iron Maiden aren't the best example just because they are stil an oldies show but they don't pretend they are better. they don't even brin singles out and promoting is almost 0!
Just give me your opinions,I'll post more than1
