Sorry, I don't get the connection. I read Brave New World because I thought it would be an interesting story.

Iron Maiden put out an album called Brave New World and the title track was based on the book. Iron Maiden does a lot of that. That have songs based on Brave New Worl, Dune, Murders in the Rue Morgue, Stranger in a Strange Land,Ryme of the Ancient Mariner, etc. For all the people that say that hevay metal is mindless noise listened to by slackers, heavy metal has exposed me to a lot of literature and history.

I read BNW because my senior year English teacher recommended it to me.
Don't like Iron Maiden at all.. lol

[Kent Edwins]

I love Maiden, and yes they are the ones who got me into literature.

[thatcrazyguy]

Well, I read Brave New World because it was recommmend in the interoduction to 1984 for.
But no, I won't lie...I also listened to the Iron Maiden song (which was excellent) and that made me want to read it even more.


....<.< >.>
You where planed...and you where damned...
IN THIS BRAVE NEW WORLD!


You are correct though, plenty of these metal bands are highly literate people. I listen to a great deal of metal and you can hear it in the subject matter of the songs. A perfect example is "Silver Shoes" by Demons and Wizards, a song baout the Wizard of Oz, note they say Silver Shoes, not Ruby Slippers.

Eh...I don't like metal.

I read BNW because to an eleven year old, the futuristic social structure was fascinating. And it also came highly recommended from various parental sources.

I read BNW long before the members of Iron Maiden were even born.

I read Brave New World in 1959. Mick Jagger was 16 years old. Where was Iron Who? Were they after Jerry Roll Morton & the Red Hot Peppers & Telonious Monk?
