2025 3Arena (formerly Tele 2), Stockholm, first night Ullevi, Gothenburg is a really good place to see Maiden in Sweden if you are travelling by train there. You have everything within walking distance from the central train station. The sound at the arena is not that good though.

Psycho Motel supported Maiden on a show back in 1996, in Notthingham: https://www.ironmaiden.com/tour/the-x-factour/ They propably met back then. This pick (posted by Spaldy) btw...Dave's wife still looks a lot like him! :bigsmile:

Virus from As Live As It Gets is approaching 1 million streams on Spotify (and it is his most popular song on this platform). Currently at 986 000.

Maybe Steve will join Blaze's band for a song or two? He did this in 2000, at Camden Underworld, performing Man on the Edge with the support band's bass guitar and amp.

My favourite is As Live As It Gets from 2003, and it contains the best sounding versions of Speed of Light, When Two Worlds Collide, Virus, Tenth Dimension etc. Andy Sneap did a great job with the mix.

Blaze did Afraid to Shoot Strangers with Thomas Zwijsen. The live version, from Gothenburg 1995, was a part of the Best of the Beast double cd as well, so I don't think it's out of the question.

Perhaps Fear of the Dark will be in the set, or Afraid to Shoot Strangers then (as well as Virus).
