I don't believe it either. Though, the moderator in question said certain parts of this poster were accurate.Seems like a shady source. Also Rush would never open for Bon Jovi in a million years. I'm calling bullshit
Well, perhaps "publicity stunt" isn't the right phrase, but coloquially it's a direct translation. The phrase the moderator used was "coup de com" (or "coup de communication"), which basically means it's some big news that is going to get a lot of attention. Sabbath/Maiden/some other big name metal band would certainly qualify!
I don't think Maiden and Sabbath would tour again after the Sharon incident. A Priest/Maiden tour would be better. Halford opened for Maiden's gig in Chile back in 01 and it was completely awesome.
And not only Rush opening for Bon Jovi is bullshit, it's also dubious because Alex Lifeson said last week that they wanted to take a year off, something which was also mentioned by Geddy Lee some months ago...
They also said they would do a R40 tour whichd be next year, so i wouldnt rule them out.
On the Sonisphere note 7 days till launch means 2nd December, i know its close to the Hellfest date thus makes it look more like Maiden but wouldnt they of arranged it on same date to have one big announcement.
Perhaps Sonisphere's first announcement won't be Maiden, though. They could wait 'til the 4th to announce them in conjunction with Hellfest (if indeed Maiden are playing both).They also said they would do a R40 tour whichd be next year, so i wouldnt rule them out.
