yea totally dude, janick rocked... what a showman. i love how they played all the old songs, i really like the first albums with di'anno... its too bad they didnt play any instrumentals like transylvania or something. it was ****ing awesome how they played prowler and sanctuary... those are probably my fav maiden songs... on my way there i kept thinking to myself "they'd better ****ing play sanctuary" and they did... man i love those guys. i usually find the sound quality like that in concerts, i could barely hear steve at all. did anyone find that bruce's voice got alot higher over the years?

haha and someone threw a pair of fake **** at bruce, man what a show

[QUOTE=Slave To The Dark]Ash just sell your body to the night to raise money for leeds...[/QUOTE]

:lol: Good plan...

Finally got Live After Death, there's a sale on in HMV, all Maiden albums cheap. Ed Hunter is only a tenner, might go buy it if I can scrounge some food from my mum.

/first post in this thread

I've been on a HUGE Maiden kick the last couple of months. My wife bought be the Rock in Rio DVD for fathers day in June and since then Maiden has made up probably a good 85% of what I've listened to.

They're playing Ozzfest a couple hours east of here tonight. I've wanted to see Maiden for a good 15 years but never managed to do so. I really want to go see them tonight, but tickets are $90 and they're only playing a short set and I don't want to waste the ticket money seeing a bunch of bands I don't like. I'm just hoping that they do another solo tour of the US.

^Dont Bet on it... Bruce dont realy like you Americans.. so if he can decide, they will probaly not play US...
He listed the only reason that they play on Ozzfest in the US now is to try to break to new fans....

22 days to Leeds... YEAH!

Yeah, I'm not counting on it. Just hoping. I don't know though...the Live After Death album was recorded in Long Beach if I'm not mistaken. Of couse that was quite a long time ago. But I can still hope!

Yeah it was recorded at Longbeach, but back then, they spent the whole year touring, with at least 200 dates. This tour is about a millonth of that, so there won't be many shows...:upset:

[QUOTE=Nathanbot]haha and someone threw a pair of fake **** at bruce, man what a show[/QUOTE]
the show was ****in unreal, and the fake b:):)bs were hilarious, it was a good night, loved the fact that they only played from the first four albums, revelations was insane. the concert was like the best suround sound i had ever heard, 15, 000 people singing the same song

hahah or when bruce was like "this guy's smokin a f*ckin joint right here,i don't want to breath that sh*t!i'm going over here where it doesn't stink!"

Yea i'm sure they'll do the US ONE more time before they stop touring though...

[QUOTE=clairvoyant]Yea i'm sure they'll do the US ONE more time before they stop touring though...[/QUOTE]

Don't be silly, they hate the yanks. They'll just be playing at the Ruskin Arms... :lol:

Yeah they dont need to tour the US anymore. They've got enough money for life each of them, they can afford to just do the big shows now. And Ruskin Arms.

Bands like Iron Maiden arn't touring for the money any more and haven't been for years. All the members have had plenty of money to support them for their lives for years and thye could have quit then.

Although they love what they do so they continue to do it. It is a shame though they are cutting back on touring. :(

[QUOTE=ashman]Don't be silly, they hate the yanks.[/QUOTE]

They should tour Canada just to annoy them.

Aye...apparently there's a Rumour going around Hull, that Maiden will be playing in Hull soon, and the source is supposed to be reliable...:confused:

Yeah its wrong^. They've already announced their done for this year.

Muahaha, it rolled off a bunch of hands right into my arms, I crouched down to make sure I had it and that no one could snag it from me. Then I got up looked at the guy beside me and was like "MAN!".. then put it in my pocket and checked on it every few minutes. :cool:

I went through a megadeth gig with two iced earth Cds in my pocket...

it isn't the same... :upset:

Did Janick throw it into the crowd, or did it fall off? I know wristbands don't usually fall off, but keeping in mind that guys playing style.... :lol:

I'm new to the Iron Maiden thread by the way.
