Open minded!!! What have you been smoking? This is the maiden thread, it goes:

Maiden >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all other bands who are **** compared to Maiden

:p

It sorta helps solidify the stereotypical Maiden fan. Don't be THAT kinda fan. :p

[QUOTE=Up The Irons]So what's with Iron Maiden not liking America?
They have like 6 shows in the whole country[/QUOTE]

Who does?

Uh...Where have you been living?

Do you not [I]remember[/I] last time?!

[QUOTE=Up The Irons]So what's with Iron Maiden not liking America?

Its 11 shows.
8 in the Usa.
and 3 in Canada.

Aargh I want to go

I thought that was all Sharon Osbourne, nothing to do with America

I heard that was all a publicity stunt anyway...

i can't see that, they willing had eggs thrown at them, and their set ****ed with for publicity, i'm sorry but i can't see maiden doing that.

I thought the lack of touring in the states was mainly due to poor cd sales, DoD didn't even go gold in the states.....

Yea also the fact that most kids around my age are so into hip-hop or emo music in the states, thats maybe one reason why they wanna attract younger crowds to their shows.

I highly doubt that, Maiden just wouldn't do that.

So they listen to better music.

It's not unknown. Remember how they deliberately caused a media outcry in the UK with their [I]Sanctuary[/I] sleeve (they but a black box over the woman's eyes, then screamed "Censorship!")

I figured that's its possible this is the same thing, but on a much larger scale...given what gets onto album covers these days they couldn't pull that trick again, so they needed something bigger...

...I don't know what really happened at Ozzfest, but I wouldn't write off the publicity stunt theory.

So, I've been convincing my dad to take me and another friend to Montreal (And Quebec City also) to see Maiden (He'll only let me go if we can find another vehical other than our van and if he drives us there and stays at the hotel with us) and..It's going to cost me like $700 and then whatever for the tickets..:-\

Any idea of the price of the tickets yet?

^ From their website

Quebec show: Ticket price: $56.50 CAD

Montreal show: Ticket price: $54.20 CAD

Toronto show: Ticket prices - 67.50 / 52.50 / 39.50

Those are a lot cheaper than I thought they'd be, f[size=2]u[/size]ck yeah!!!

I love how much cheaper they are ther. They were £40 here which is about $75 Canadian. Annoying.

Yeah man, i'm just happy that I dont have to spend all my money (which is very limited at the moment mind you) on these. Actually what me and my friends will probably end up doing is getting the cheap tickets, and just move up to the good seats when Maiden plays :thumb:.

The actual tickets aren't £40, the tickets plus £15 ticketmaster charges and postage is £40

Were they not? They were £40 + charges I seem to remember. Unless the London tickets were just more expensive.

Does Maiden have any songs where the solos go back back forth several times for a while? I'm looking for an IM song to quench my thirst for very long, extended solos. Plus something mad fun to learn on guitar.

/semi IM noob

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son?

It's got some harmonies between some of the solos, but that's the first one to come to mind

Did tickets go on sale yet?

Aye, that's probably one of the only songs I can think of.

So many new faces, I can't believe I'm losing track of my thread :P

[QUOTE=GenuineImitation]Did tickets go on sale yet?[/QUOTE]
I think they go on sale the week or weekend of August 12. I really can't remember... it's not for a little bit though, don't worry you didn't miss you chance to get them :chug:

They go on Sale August 14th or if your a IMOC Official Member you get to get 'em August 1st.

Thanks a ton for the ticket prices, now I can figure out how much this trip is going to cost me.

Anyone else going to see them in December at SECC in Glasgow? I can't wait but after nearly dying at a Tool concert, I'm not so sure... Just kidding, its my first time and my friends 4th :p

I saved my first concert for Maiden, which hopefully my dad's going to agree to take me and my friend up to Quebec.

I'm on my third Maiden time, going to Newcastle Arena:D

Massive Thunder Storm DEAD over my house right now.

And all I have to say is.."Maybe Lightning, Strikes Twice!"

here it is for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, the cover for the reincarnation for benny breeg.

anyone know the exact details as to whats going to be released for the single, cd, 12", 7", etc etc, coz the maiden site say cd and a 7", but amazon is listing a 12", so how many formats will there be?

I wonder if Bruce dickenson ever fell down because of all that running he does on stage..
