The funny thing about calling out an old school metal band is that metal is so much a part of the mainstream that it's now used in commercials. It used to be threatening and misunderstood, but like a lot of things, 30-40 years later, much of it is tame compared to what came later. But Iron Maiden specifically... they write a ton of songs about history and poetry. They are about as highbrow as metal gets, not to mention the singer has an operatic style very much apart from the more unintelligible vocal styles that are popular these days. Just a weird band to call out...
Of course, the irony is that a couple of days later, the lead singer for Maiden criticized people for smoking weed at their concerts and got blasted. It's like the circle of life.
