Going back to the stadium discussion and Twickenham, I was there and it was a great event and whilst it wasn’t sold out there was a heck of a lot of people there. I think the biggest problem with this was the venue itself, not that it was too big but its location. It was awful to get too with...

I don’t blame them becoming a brand to be honest. If people want to pay them to slap their logo on something then why not take the money. Plus I’m sure they’ve got an eye on retirement and ways to rake in the bucks once the music stops.

Can someone explain to me why a touring festival is a logistical nightmare as some have been saying. Probably being thick but I just don’t get it. I don’t see there being any more work than doing their own tour only less venues. To me it’s like a tour with just a load of better and bigger name...

Not really, I would have said the opposite to be honest. A festival with a load of top bands surely doesn’t have to travel as much. I mean, look at regular festivals, they pitch up in a field and if you want to see it you have to travel. I would say they could pick 3 stadiums in the uk, one...

Talking of future touring plans I’ve always wondered why, instead of just headlining the same festivals over and over again why not start up their own touring festival like ozzfest used to be. Maidenfest :bigsmile: I’m sure they are a big enough band to do this and grab some top supporting...

I doubt we’ll get fuck all from Maiden in the form of a special 40th POM release. All we got for the debut was a record store day picture disc, nothing for killers either. NOTB is the maiden album that always crops up in top 50 metal albums of all time polls and magazines and websites have...

I didn’t take from what Luisma said that Adrian wasn’t happy with the SSOASS approach. I took it that Adrian wanted to spread his wings and go more in the big melodic commercial approach that SIT was heading towards. After SIT Adrian had tasted what it was like if he had wrote a solo album and...

Not according to every source I’ve ever come across, books, magazines, dvds and various other interviews. I’m not saying I’m an authority but I’ve never ever thought of Adrian being pushed out of the band until a couple of people mentioned it here. I became a fan when no prayer was the latest...

I’m pretty sure Adrian left the band, he wasn’t fired.

Lol this did give me a chuckle reading this. Once upon a time the “hits” were just tracks on an album that was released and Twisted Sister went off and toured the album(s) but then stopped releasing new music and spent the next 3 decades just playing the same stuff over and over. That’s fine...

I was at the Clive Burr charity gig, completely forgot about that one :facepalm:

Fortunate enough to have seen at least one gig on every tour since the X-factour back in 1995. I’ve never experienced a bad gig as I have no recollection of ever coming away from a Maiden gig disappointed however, these would be my standout memories: 1) Ed hunter tour 1999. Fan club trip and...

I’ve noticed that a lot recently too. I’ve even had some of my comments liked by these fake accounts and I hardly ever comment there. Some comments I’ve had liked are over 3 years old. I’m guessing these fake accounts are hoping a few fans think they are real and send them friends requests at...

Bit harsh! Like Yax said above, isn’t the act of lighting flares when you are surrounded by thousands of fans that might not want a dangerous flare lit up next to them a bigger example of entitlement? I guess you telling Bruce to man up and stop being a snowflake means you think it’s ok as...

Yeah I have to say, whilst Bruce being angry and having a rant was justified in my opinion, he could have refrained from the xenophobic part. I’m sure he wasn’t thinking and just let rip and probably regretted it after he said it but he should have been more careful in what he said.

I agree if Steve wanted to play it it would have been played, unless the entire rest of the band were against it and even then they’d have a fight with Steve if he really wanted the song. I took it that perhaps Steve was 50/50 about playing it anyway and if Adrian really didn’t want to play it...

I don’t blame Bruce having a rant about flares. They are dangerous and PROHIBITED! Anyone who thinks they being full on metal and cool because they sneak in a few flares and set them off are just grade A bell ends. Luckily I’d doesn’t happen in the uk as if someone pulled a flare out near me...

You’re in the minority I would guess. Makes much more sense to market Beer with heavy metal than coffee or tea lol. Whilst beer and metal is a bit of a cliche I always gave Maiden a pass on the trooper beer and it variants as a) I actually thinks good beer and b) it doesn’t come across as any...

No need for an apology, glad to have you on the forums. If I came across as a little harsh it certainly wasn’t meant.

Well I’m glad your opinion isn’t shared by all. I have no idea why the blaze albums get so much hate. Whilst personally I think the X factor is a masterpiece virtual XI also has some great tunes. Blazes vocals perfectly suited those albums too. The only issue I ever had with Blaze during his...
