It depends really. If they're well research and written, they are always welcomed. If they just repeat information or make wild speculations sold as the truth, then we definitely don't need more books. Of course, cds with gigs and videos are always welcomed.

Awesome news! This kind of books always help get stories straight, especially when those personally involved in the organisation of the promoting and concert interviene. Will definitely look forward to it! :)

Mate, thank you very much for explaining. I do a certain amount about Poland those days because of the research but is always nice to learn more. At first I thought you said that the recording was made for radio broadcast, but now I understand what you said it was a bootleg and if it was...

Yeezz @Mosh if the comments from Jim Yukich (who happens to be the director of the Behind The Iron Curtain documentary so he definitely has the video recording of the shows + notes), the explanation from Howard Johnson (who is the one who mentioned that 6 songs were played in Kerrang!), one...

Not only that and this the earliest review I have found. The show in Budapest is the perfect example of what I said, there's a very detailed review of the show so, I'm pretty sure the show Warsaw must have been reviewed by Polish media, so if anyone finds a review of the show then we could have...

Sigh... Here we go with the labelling... You can have your opinion on what you think is theory but let me tell you something. Is not a theory, is based on facts which I have explained and even argued with permanenteddie. I even said, in way or another, that I was open to be proven wrong...

Man, I really appreciate your comments and appeciations. And let me just say that I agree 100% with what you say. I do try to keep an open mind but because of what I have seen in my research I tend to be very careful with what I believe in when someone comes out as having the holy grail if you...

I am sorry if I come as arrogant as I can assure you that it is not my intention. However, I must also say that I have been researching Iron Maiden for more than 30 years, have spoken with loads of people related to the band and I know a whole lot more than a lot of fans, simply because I have...

No, it was dropped Samantha. This was confirmed by Harris himself on Kerrang! magazine No. 130, issued on October 2, 1986 and I quote: "We already dropped one that we didn't feel all that good playing, 'The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner', which is my song but it was me who actually...

Well, I have basically told everything I know for now. The song was reheased literally a couple of times during the production rehearsals that took place in Hannover in August 1984 but ended up being drop because, once again, the band didn't like how it turned out. This had been confirmed not...

It wasn't played live... December 21, 1988... Sorry, you´ll have to wait for my book to come out to learn more about the gig The Holy Smokers of course! September 19, 1990 at the Woughton Centre

Do you have the bootleg from Hungary?

Run To The Hills is from the Sportscsarnok Parkolo (Parking Lot), Budapest, Hungary, August 17, 1984 Hallowed Be Thy Name I haven't been able to pinpoint. Supposedly it was recorded at Katowice, Sportshall Makoszowy, Poland, August 14, 1984 but I have my serious doubts

Yep, that's the one! ;)

Unfortunately that's not always how it works. In my case I have personally waited for years (in some case more than 20!) to hear certain stuff and under strict rules. I have even heard uncirculated stuff practially no one knows about with the only intention of deepining my research (if you ever...

But they do have an egg on a cover

Yep, almost every secret gig is mentioned in one of the covers of BYDTTS

That's the whole thing most people don't understand. I have rewarded some people that have shown special kindness or some how set an example for other fans of Maiden. It is also how I have been rewarded with certain things... But some people just seem to think they're entitled to certain things...

Stick long enough and you might get lucky ;)

Ever since 81 Maiden has played secret gigs under different monikers: Genghis Khan (81), Dental Floss Salesman (82), 999 and the inverted morons (83), Live Tonight! Maiden Men (85), Space Heads (86), Charlotte And The Harlots (88), Ron Maiden and the Dixie Chickens (90), Nodding Donkeys (92)...
