Oh I have no problem paid photo and autograph ops. It's a source of income for a lot of celebs who might be on the downside of their careers. Also many actors on Sci-Fi shows have a rough time finding other work after their shows end their run. I just can't believe that even a diehard SW fan...

It's no harder to sing or play than a lot of other Maiden songs. I don't get it either. Unless one or more of the band just don't like it. For me it's one of my top Maiden songs

That's not bad as far as what the bigger celebs bring at conventions. What's disgusting is what Mark Hamill was charging at an event $700 - $800 IIRC

The convention or the company that sponsored/brought him there is getting their cut as well. I also wonder why (I understand why Nicko is doing it). Maybe he thinks it might help with his solo career revival? Is he only doing these in America?

I wasn't implying that at all. Just a little joke saying I think Americans who are not fans might be more inclined to check Maiden out if they see them on the HoF ceremony, more so if some influencer says they're cool, heh. I could see them refusing an induction because Blaze is not included...

You're not American though? Lol. They broadcast the ceremony so they potentially could pick up some new interest here in the States. Mind you there are still folks in the US that think Maiden is some kind of horror/satanic band. They don't understand or realize what they are really about. I...

I think it's now or never this year. They are on their 50th anniversary tour in the US this year so that's a plus I think. But they've fallen way behind in the fan vote I see. Last two times they finished in the top 7. It's still early though. If I recall if they finish in the top 7 that gets...

What I do if I can't get decent tickets on release day I will wait until they release holdbacks, usually within a week or two before the date. That's what I did for the last several Maiden and Priest shows. I've never bought a resell.

Lol. Someone needs to go outside and touch grass. All I know is Charlotte is the one show I can make and unless they release more tix prior to show date I will be on the lawn. Resells are as much as $1700 USD for the best seats. As much as I love Maiden I'd never pay that.

Burning Ambition is a fine title. But knowing how my country is (USA), where everyone can be offended by literally anything, with that title it would not surprise me if some theaters wouldn't show this in the Bible Belt of the South, or even demonstrations from religious nuts.

I agree. Back in the day U.S. audiences were alot more engaged during shows without the smartphones everyone has now.

"until at least 2028, as they take a well-earned break from being on the road for the whole of 2027." To me a "break" means just that. It's close but not over yet, my friends. I'm hoping for 18 and one more tour.

I can see Nick chatting as much as he could at the signing table with a fan before moving onto the next. But the photo ops they get you in there and out so fast you barely have time to say "hi". Paying for signings and photos were never my thing but I would for Nicko (and Bruce since he's doing...

Can't be happier both US Mens and Womens teams won. Both incredible games that could have gone either way.

Pretty sure he does this because he wants to, not because he has to.
