Iron Maiden are planning to bring their recent world tour to the big screen with a major movie documentary.

Iron Maiden: Flight 666 - The Movie will feature footage from the group's 2008 Somewhere Back In Time Tour which saw them play 23 shows across the world in 45 days.

The picture will show frontman Bruce Dickinson fly the band between dates on their customized Boeing 747 jet, christened Ed Force One after the band's graphic mascot, Eddie.

The film will be released in cinemas worldwide on April 21st.

I disagree. I'd argue they sound just as good as they sounded in the 80's. With the addition of their third guitarist, their songs sound much better live as well.

Bf ftw! Saw them in June as well. One of the highlights of 2008 music wise for me.

i'm usually of the school of thought that "small club shows = awesome, stadiums = no connection, boring shite," but these guys are a massive exception.

i saw them when they were touring AMOLAD and playing the whole album through, and i have NEVER seen a band with such amazing stage presence and technical ability. they actually outdid the recordings by a long shot.

needless to say, i'm absolutely gonna go see this!

It actually WAS 1984. Bruce Dickinson hit notes so high that the time-space continuim was shattered, and for a few seconds the world skipped back to the 80's.
I remember the time distinctly, as I felt the uncontrollable urge to spin a Paula Abdul cd and play Qbert.

They sound phenominal, AAMOF I think Bruce even sings better. I saw them in Jersey a while back and they were absolutley mind blowing. It was my first time seeing them though. Only thing though, Nicko simplified a bit of his drumming, but ill cut him slack he is 50 something years old.

Apparently quite a few of us on this thread have been to the same show!

Yeah, I'm dying to see them, but their tour scheme hasn't been exactly combined with a place close enough to where I live.
