Ο Atlantis FM έβαλε στη «μαύρη λίστα» τον Bruce Dickinson μέχρι να ζητήσει συγγνώμη

Το περασμένο Σάββατο, το ΟΑΚΑ σείστηκε υπό τους ήχους των τραγουδιών των Iron Maiden. Πλήθος κόσμου βρέθηκε εκεί προκειμένου να ακούσει από κοντά τους «βασιλιάδες» της heavy metal μουσικής. Ωστόσο, ένα περιστατικό το οποίο συνέβη συζητήθηκε εξίσου με την συναυλία. Συγκεκριμένα, ενώ οι πρώτες...

Last Saturday, OAKA shook to the sounds of Iron Maiden 's songs . A lot of people were there to listen to the "kings" of heavy metal music.
However, an incident that occurred was discussed just as much as the concert. In particular, while the first notes of the song "The Number of the Beast" were heard, someone lit a flare, which caused Bruce Dickinson to explode, as it is known that he abhors the smoke generators and flares that some people sometimes light at the concerts of the legendary complex.

In fact, the specific fan of the band was particularly close to the stage and the smoke from the flare "suffocated" him. " You fucking cunt I'm singing ", is one of the expressions he is heard saying to the viewer in a video making the rounds on the internet.

Atlantis FM has announced that it is blacklisting Bruce Dickinson, as he says he insulted all Greeks with the characterizations he made and until he apologizes, he will not play his songs with Iron Maiden.

The Atlantis announcement​

Atlantisfm.gr puts Bruce Dickinson in the "black list" for the great insult towards the Greek people. His reference to the nationality of the person – without even knowing it – during the OAKA concert was not only intended for him.
To his face, he insulted all Greeks , many of whom have repeatedly honored IRON MAIDEN, putting their hands deep in their pockets each time to see them again.
It is certain that Bruce Dickinson would not dare to insult a Briton, a German or an American by putting their national identity in his mouth in their own country. Here, he thought to be easy? Obviously. So, until Dickinson apologizes to the Greeks, atlantisfm.gr will play IRON MAIDEN only with the voices of PAUL DI ANNO and BLAZE BAYLEY.

Atlantis FM isn't even FM anymore, it's just a web radio none cares about. Rebel FM bought their frequency and they play Di Anno and Bruce songs. As for the two big rock stations in athens (Red and Rock FM) they only play the same 5 songs by metallica, guns and roses and red hot chili peppers, never Iron Maiden. So yeah a Greek web radio none listens to will stop playing Bruce songs, I'm sure Bruce is very sad about it.
 
I somehow missed this but Nicko uploaded a second drum video. Something that I've never noticed before is that he plays his left stick backwards.

A lot of drummers are playing drums with their left sticks backwards, because it's less tiring for the wrist.

TBOS is really hampered by 3 dull songs on disc 2 imo. Would have been much stronger as a single disc I think.

If Eternity Should Fail
Speed of Light
The Great Unknown
The Red and the Black
When the River Runs Deep
The Book of Souls
Death or Glory
Empire of the Clouds

Did you cut the only Dave song in the last decade?
My problem with TBOS is overly long formulaic songs with no harmonies, memorable parts, long for the shake of being long and for the shake of all 3 guitarists having an unmemorable solo. I also don't like the trope of slow intro -> song goes a bit hard -> some oooooooh chants for some reason -> slow outro again. Imo the red and the black is the worst Maiden song along with hooks in you.
