I’ve always thought that CD should come with a prescription for Prozac.

I've never been to the stadium in Harrison NJ it's mostly for soccer/football however it's very easy to get to from New York City via the PATH light rail train and it's the only show in the NYC area so no surprise it's selling fast. I got mine in the presale but it was not easy every time I...

Looks like I won't be getting much work done today. YOU ARE NOW IN THE QUEUE 1678 People Ahead of you

I had some sticker shock when I saw the prices, but there was another subconscious reason why I didn't grab a couple even though I could afford it. Despite being my lifelong favorite band, I've come to realize a couple of things that made me opt out of going to Madison Square Garden for this...

That's a nice set list. Other than missing The Educated Fool it checks off all my favorites from the Blaze era of Maiden. Despite not being a big fan of X Factor - just too relentlessly dark for my tastes - I would definitely go see Blaze live if he were in the area.

I'll stick to songs that have never been played before. Sun and Steel & Montsegur have already been mentioned, I think both would be massive crowd pleasers live with catchy singalong choruses. I'll add Deja Vu, Judgement of Heaven (played by Blaze but not IM), Isle of Avalon and Starblind.

I feel the same way about my team the NJ Devils. The #1 goalie Jacob Markstrom gets hurt several games into the season but Jake Allen steps up big time. They're now 6-1 on the season, and the early schedule has been brutal. All but one of their opponents were playoff teams last year, including...

Wow I live in New Jersey but I've never been to that arena in Harrison it's where a football (soccer) team plays but now I'm going to need to look up the seating charts. I could be wrong but I don't think Maiden have played there before they usually just hit the hockey / basketball arenas in...

Don't know if this has been posted here already but it showed up on my Yahoo home page: An Oral History of Iron Maiden's Iconic Mascot Eddie the 'Ed

I looked again at Ticketmaster today and it literally didn’t offer anything less than $2,000 USD for 2 tickets. I tried adjusting the filters but they produced zero results. Sorry Rush, I love the dozen or so times I had the joyful experience of seeing you live in concert between Hold Your Fire...

I realized that something was missing in my life but couldn’t figure out what it was. Thanks to this convo I realized it was the (near) daily laughs from this thread, mostly provided by Mercenary.

I think my favorite album cover is Brave New World even if that's not my favorite IM album. My favorite IM album is Somewhere in Time, which along with Powerslave rounds out my top 3 album covers. After that I give honorable mention to Killers for being most iconic, and 7th Son and Virtual XI...

Burning Ambition: The B side to Running Free, only played live 5 times according to setlistFM. Sure the lyrics are inane, but I love how it transitions from smooth guitar harmony to frantic thrashy energy and back. Just a fun song, I still go out of my way to listen to this one every now and...

Ticketmaster presale started today with the lowest price at $250. That was for the original 2 Madison Square Garden shows (before they added two more).
