Oh ok thanks for the info, does seem odd to play such a small venue like Bilbao unless the boys wanted a relatively low key gig to start the tour off? However it does also make the decision to have so few shows in the UK even stranger. I know Cardiff and certainly the first night if not the...

Is that because the ones in Eastern Europe tend to be "Festivals" as opposed to an O2 type venue? TBH that's why were flying to Paris/Berlin instead of going to "Download" - those big outdoor gigs are just too hassle at my age! ::)

Very strange indeed especially when you think Germany is getting 6 dates, Spain 3, etc. However to be fair they can't play everywhere and no matter how many dates or countries they play in someone will always feel left out. Although I am surprised there's no date in Ireland -saw them over in...

So will I! And in Berlin at the O2 on the 18th - can't wait but keeping my fingers x for a few UK dates later in the year!

I posted a query a while back about the possibility of Maiden releasing an occasional “EP” (as Metallica did with Beyond Magnetic) of stuff that didn’t make the latest album. However I was told they only ever write enough stuff for the album they are currently recording and there is never...

Must admit I thorougly enjoyed it - better than I had expected tbh. Also found it heavier than I expected it to be knowing Adrian's alleged(?) commercial leanings. Do you think they might play a few gigs (probably only small club type ones) in the Autumn to promote the album?

I seemed to remember reading that it was a record company driven decision - they wanted a "single" release to promote the album and the band didn't have anything ready having used up all their catalogue of songs on the album. The original was done by a Australian rock band (the name of which...

For those of you who don't follow English football, the Play Off Final (for the last place in the English Premier League for next season) takes place at Wembley Stadium London this afternoon. The game kicks off at 3pm and is between West Ham United (The Irons) and Blackpool FC Now as you all...

Just recently Metallica released the "Beyond Magnetic" EP which consisted of songs from the Death Magnetic recordings that were not used on the original album. Now I was wondering, with Maiden having 3-4 year gaps between albums would you be in favour of them doing something similar i.e...

Mother Of Mercy, Talisman, Coming Home, Starblind and When The Wind Blows at present but probably because they are "new" - wether they stand the test of time so to speak. Talisman and Starblind almost certainly but not too sure that the others will.

Aren't we all supposed to part of the Maiden Family? Just because someone doesn't fit our image/expectations of what "a maiden fan" should be doesn't mean they can't be one does it? I

I couldn't have put it better myself!  Anyhow it could be worse - Even though they are a great band Metallica have only released 2 Albums of their own original material in 14 YEARS!!!

Erm.....Im 46......... :blush:

Thanks chaps - didn't think they had ever played it, nice to have it confirmed! 

Playing some old Maiden stuff today (as you do) on the IPOD and "Back In The Village" popped up which got me thinking have the boys ever done this live?  I have seen Maiden numerous times over the years but don't ever recall this being played. Had a look through the excellent "commentary" site...

Thank you both for posting - I'll check em out!  :)

For what it's worth I think that as long as Steve wants it to Maiden will keep going no matter what. I seem to recall there's a piece in "Run To The Hills" where Nicko(?) is discussing the future of the band and says something along the lines of that if Bruce hadn't come back after Blaze was...

Thanks for all your replies folks - no not dressing up as Bruce  :bigsmile: , just like the shirt and know that it will wind up a few of my work colleagues so thought I would try and track one down for myself!  - It was the wife who said "well you've got the hat..."  :lol:

I'm not so sure about Bruce, I think he is fully committed to the band it's just hes very opinionated and likes to have he's say and if he can provoke a reaction all the better e.g Ozzfest etc.... It's H i'm not so sure of, in the "F666 DVD" he came across as pretty disillusioned at times and...

Thanks for posting - a good read and happy memories of "the way they were" - Cheers!
