Per the op that is pretty funny, they would fit right in. I love Slayer but you better have your head on a swivel at one of those shows.

What's weird is that you can actually weave the two separate parts of this thread into one.
Iron Maiden is maybe not a total death metal band, but they are certainly one of the most successful heavy metal bands in history (and as popular today as 25 years ago).
But Iron Maiden's front man/lead singer Bruce Dickinson is just as heavily involved in aviation as in music. He's a working commercial 757 and 737 pilot, a Type Rating instructor and Technical instructor on the 737, and founded and runs a respected aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) company in the UK.
Someone else can post Iron Maiden videos, but here's one of him discussing the intersection of the two worlds. (But they didn't ask him whether American Generals were crankloons or not.)

Iron Maiden, Dickinson in particular, apparently pissed off Sharon Osborne at one of the recent Ozfest. They had just started playing "Trooper", I believe and she had the power cut to the stage and came up on the p.a. talking about them disrespecting ozzy, blah, blah, blah.
The crew got the stage power back up and Iron Maiden was still playing the song and hasn't missed a note, seemingly. Pretty cool display of professionalism under stress.

I've hung out a lot in the boonies of Cabeza Prieta NWR, which is just south of the Goldwater Gunnery Range in SW AZ.
I got to watch them dogfight day and night. It was pretty cool. The place is littered with shell casings. An A-10 casing is big enough to drink coffee out of.
On the east side it was mainly F-16's. The dogfights only took 30 seconds or so. On the west side it was the Harriers, and those were LOUD.
Kind of weird to be in such a wild place and have all that going on above you. It was mostly silent, and as far as I could tell, the noise didn't really affect anything.
One time 2 A-10's flew very close to me, very low. The second one came around and flew inverted over me. I always wondered if they saw me and were checking me out. It seemed like it, but I dunno.

Love that song, E. They are one of the few metal bands that can drive a pit punk rock style. Dickinson is basicly dressed like a rock climber with the tights and socks. That's a lot of hair, though.

i adore death.
all of my life,
i court her.
someday i'll be hers.
and i gleefully anticipate
that day.
though i do not yet wish it.
it is a privilege
that i must earn.
no shortcuts.
daily i'm just shy
of a self-inflicted
gunshot wound to the head.
that'd be simple.
like a trip to the shiter.
no. not me.
no suicide.
i wear life like a badge.
someone will have to peel it from me.
while i kick and spit.
though i like to get close.
to her.
death.
i do.
she is quite attractive in
her mystery.
she is mine.
poor thing.
she can't stand straight
in my company.
she shakes in the knees
and her vagina weeps.
but i do not
engage her intimately.
i just tease.
because you gotta leave
the please unanswered.
and daily she
beckons.
and i show up.
and blow her.
kisses.
and she begs of me, more.
like real copulation.
it is then that i disappear
into the storm.
a drop of refrain
among a billion drops of rain.
