The start of the tour was a month later in France and Janick clearly plays his solo here: Fortunes of War was only performed there btw. And the TV-performances was just "lip synch" for Blaze as well, and Newton just pretended to play.

The actual tour had not started in mars 1998, they just travelled around Europe and did some promotion. Here in, Spain:

Definitely! Clip: Bruce promoting the Brave New World album on "Late evening with Luke" talkshow in Sweden. Anyway, they got a gold record (40 000 sales) so it worked...

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.
