-Finally, Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain was interviewed on Q104.3 New York last Friday night and even teased that a possible Iron Maiden appearance on Ozzfest is never out of the question. Here's a snippet of what he had to say:
We're gonna take the rest of the year off. We're planning on starting working late April/first week of May [2005]… We're gonna prepare a tour much like we did last year, which was the 'Give Me 'Ed... Til I'm Dead' tour, which is gonna be going out and playing the summer festivals. So we'll do a mini-tour… Hopefully in America we'll be able to come over here and play, like, maybe three or four weeks of festivals — who knows, it may be even longer, 'cause in the summertime there's lots going on — and then do some over in Europe. Then we'll take a little bit of time off at the end of the summer, and the general plan is — I'm not sure, timeframe-wise — but towards the end of next year, we'll write and record a new album. Then, I guess that will place us in 2006. [And then] we'll do the whole thing again — summer festivals and then… like we did on the last 'Give Me 'Ed' tour and then 'Dance of Death'. And I think that's the general plan. There may be slight changes in there, but you never know.
So there you go, Iron Maiden may play on Ozzfest......eventually.
