What was so different? It's just the next leg of the tour. Any info anybody about the Hannover presales? The only German show (in my hometown) this year.

The weirdest Maiden gig I ever saw was Leipzig 2003, Dance Of Death. The arena was 3/4 empty. 3000 folks in an arena with a capacity 12000. Even the support band was cancelled that night. Point 8 p.m. Maiden came out without any opening band. It was strange. But Maiden didn't seem to care much.

So... I bought him Powerslave (on CD) for his 4th Bday, and also the official Maiden coloring book (60 pages), which has all the album covers and several Riggs Eddies to paint out. Since he got the Powerslave Tee for his 3rd Bday last year, he is the coolest guy in his Kindergarten anyway. :devil2:

Yes please, I will appreciate a lot! :-)

Most of the World Slavery bootlegs that I heard yet aren't of a good sound quality, and I wonder if there are actually soundboard recordings existing. What are the best quality recordings from 1984/85? (Except for Rock In Rio) And are there any videos existing? I don't know any. Well, except for...

I love Genghis Khan, especially for the mid-tempo part, but I voted the Ides Of March because it was the very first Maiden song I ever heard, back in 1985 as a kid.

Why the JHS Overdrive behind the Distortion?

Here's my FX Board, 2026 updated version. The MXR X100 (bottom row center) is the perfect tool for a Somewhere In Time-related guitar tone.

Why so passive aggressive? :ahhh: I never disagreed at that point, you know?

Killers is definitely among my top Maiden albums and it's so much more than just a leftover kind of thing. One of the rare Maiden albums that seems to be not influenced much by marketing decisions or other calculations. The door was already opened (by the debut) while international marketing...

That was the exact mistake I did with my own sons, now 17 and 20. I believed waiting would gain appreciation. Turned out to be a total error calculation. Theo (17) is into some sort of gangsta rap, Glenn (20) doesn't listen to music at all. The point they would both commonly agree with each...

Thanks for lots of advice yet... :) Fortunately there's a few more weeks left. And I will let you all know what my pick wil be then.

My nephew Woody ist turning four next month. For his third bday last year he got the Powerslave Tee gifted by me, and this year I wanna get him his first ever Iron Maiden album for his bday (on CD). Which one would you all recommend to be a proper Maiden album gift for someone's fourth birthday...

I'd even buy a VHS video tape player, if nescessary.

Well, reading this, the only conclusion I can come to is: they already recorded it! :)
