Recently I went to Sziget Festival where Maiden, Muse and Faithless were headlining. I wanted to buy a festival tshirt but when I see the tshirt I decided not to.
Because: In the back there were the list of bands. And on the top there was Muse, with its logo which contains lines above and below the name. And it was big!
Underneath there was Maiden. And it was written in normal character not with logo. It was weird because all the other bands were written by their logo.
In 2008 Maiden was one of the headliners in this festival and they were written above respectable bands such as REM and Jamarquai. And it was by their logo.
Don't understand me wrong, it's interesting because I'm also a Muse fan. They are the best band from the 2000s and I think they are hugely inspired from Maiden.(listen to Stockholm Syndrome, Knights of Cydonia and other few...) (Also the drummer of the band said that Number of the Beast changed his life)
So I can't blame Muse or the festival promoters for this situation. Only one that I can blame is the management of Maiden. For me and I think for most of the Maiden fans no bands' name should be written above Maiden. (Ok, ok except Rolling Stones and some other jurassic bands )
Another "managemental" error happened in Ozzfest I think. And because of that tension caused that ridicilous "egg incident". By then how could Maiden accept to play 55 minutes and before Black Sabbath?! It must have been a co-headlining tour. One year earlier Judas Priest was in Ozzfest and they played full set and that was like co-headlining tour. But even Maiden is bigger than Priest in USA (not in 80's but in 2000's) Maiden played less and under Sabbath. (btw for me Sabbath is the biggest metal band ever)
So as a fan I wanted to speak about this subject. I'm not a fanatic, or I'm not a lunatic. But I dont want to see my heroes' name under some younglings.
