[QUOTE=Artemician]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.[/QUOTE]

Nah, it didn't fall off, he bent down and gave it a little toss where I was after they were done playing Sanctuary.

I just been to HMV with £20, and walked out with:

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
Brave New World
Live At Donnington
£2.03

That lot should have cost me something like £45-£50, so I'm well chuffed.

[QUOTE]Iron Maiden have confirmed they are to release their classic track ‘The Trooper’ as a single to precede their hugely-anticipated headline appearances at the Reading & Leeds Festivals and their double live album ‘Death On The Road’.

The Reading and Leeds appearances will complete Iron Maiden’s busy summer touring schedule that includes top billing at major European Festivals and their own headlining stadium dates like their record breaking show in Gothenburg at the 55,000 capacity Ullevi Stadium that sold out in a mere two and a half hours. Just prior to Reading and Leeds the band will be joining Black Sabbath on Ozzfest in North America, plus playing plus playing sold out gigs in Denver, Quebec and Toronto.

Iron Maiden have also just announced that they are to play a special benefit concert in aid of former drummer Clive Burr MS Trust Fund at London’s Hammersmith Carling Apollo on Friday 2nd September with Special Guests PIG IRON and VOODOO SIX.[/QUOTE]
were you guys aware of this?

yeah, the trooper single will be much in the same vein as the beast one... I hope it tops the british charts and murders everything in it's path

[QUOTE=Slave To The Dark]yeah, the trooper single will be much in the same vein as the beast one... I hope it tops the british charts and murders everything in it's path[/QUOTE]

that would be awesome :thumb:

NOTB was 2nd or 3rd in England. If it had been No.1 it would have been the 1000th number one. Wouldnt that be great! Still this will hopefully get there. I've got my 3 ordered.

[QUOTE=cragmaiden666]were you guys aware of this?[/QUOTE]
Yep, pissed me right off. Tickets went on sale on the 1st, I left for holiday very early morning on the 1st so missed the opportunity to buy one. I'm still searching around though.

So I'm listening to the show that Maiden did from Sweden a few weeks/months ago and it sounds like they're really good on this tour. Anyone who's seeing them is very lucky.

I'm just annoyed that I can't afford to see them at this years Reading festival.

/me waits for Gur to point and laugh

could you point out where I can listen to this show??
and you may be waiting a while...Gur hasn't posted here since he got back from Poland, he hasn't been on MSN either...

Gur is around, I've spoken to him a few times.

Here it is

hxxp://s38.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=130OI7O9ATX9K3NSMHIZIJWSC6

Note - you'll need WinRar to extract it.

Also, the first two tracks are just the Swedish Radio Station rambling on about the show.

Enjoy.

cheers lord brummington

whats happened to this thread noone ever posts now, i've had the last 3 :angry:

can someone who downloaded that ulevi concert upload hallowed from it, it appears i've accidentally deleted it :upset:

i know this may seem like a stupid question but i've never gotten into iron maiden and just want to know:

just how heavy is their music?

[QUOTE=cragmaiden666]whats happened to this thread noone ever posts now, i've had the last 3 :angry:

I have a Zip file of the songs from NOTB onwards, I'll upload it for you.

[QUOTE=the nameless]

Not very. It's very melodic and Bruce isn't a singer suited to really heavy music.

So, the cheapest I can find tickets for the Hammersmith gig is around £80. I'm considering getting one, but fu[I]c[/I]k me, that is a lot of money.

Yeah, that's a lot.

Any reason why it's so expensive?

[QUOTE=Lord Brummington]I have a Zip file of the songs from NOTB onwards, I'll upload it for you.[/QUOTE]
that would be great, thanks

[QUOTE=Creeping Death]Yeah, that's a lot.

me thinks its because its dedicated to clive burr

/is happy the threads moving again/

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]Yeah, that's a lot.

Any reason why it's so expensive?[/QUOTE]

All ticket/merchandise/beer money etc...is going to the Clive Burr Trust Fund that they setup. Apparently no-one is getting in for free, not even people with VIP passes.

Edit:

hxxp://s59.yousendit.com/d.php?id=TM5Y8L9YUNKO2TB9T2B4BP4W0

Hallowed from the Ullevi Show.

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]Yeah, that's a lot.

Any reason why it's so expensive?[/QUOTE]
For the reasons been mentioned, also because It is a pretty small venue for a band like Maiden to be playing, so that would make the price go up.

Well, wouldn't they raise more money by doing a larger venue for less money?

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]Well, wouldn't they raise more money by doing a larger venue for less money?[/QUOTE]
i think they are doing hammersmith because it was a place they performed at with clive so it has some sort of sentimental value or something like that.

[QUOTE]Iron Maiden are an incredible live act, something which American rock fans and the media are currently being reminded of with Maiden's blistering performances on Ozzfest where fan and media reaction alike has been close to ecstatic!

Now Iron Maiden have just been honoured with the announcement that they will be inducted on the Rock Walk of Fame in Hollywood.

All six members of Iron Maiden will have their hand prints immortalized in cement at the honoured ceremony at ROCKWALK which is located at 7425 Sunset Blvd on Friday 19th August at 7pm, when Hollywood Blvd will be closed down for the presentation. Other inductees of Rock Walk include Jimmy Page, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Queen and Jimi Hendrix.[/QUOTE]
about time

[QUOTE=cragmaiden666]about time[/QUOTE]
That is great news.

Other news, i've just paid £82 for my ticket to see them at Hammersmith Apollo. It is a lot of money, but this really was a gig I just couldn't miss out on and i'm gonna get there extra early to get right to the front.

Omg!!
