“When you’ve got a singer that is so eaten up with jealousy for the headliner, it never goes well”: Sharon Osbourne remembers pelting Iron Maiden with eggs, still doesn’t like Bruce Dickinson very much

Iron Maiden were egged by Sharon Osbourne and had their power cut during a co-headline set at Ozzfest 2005

It's an awful list. If they include Hard Rock Where's Highway Star or Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple or Rock Bottom by UfO ?
And like a metalhead I think the style has been worse since the late 90's. It's just my opinion.

Oh, and It's always nice to find sponsored shit in the middle of the paragraph instead the main video by the artist isn't it ?, and I don't looking for a car at all, anyway it could be worse. I hate adds and marketing shit btw

It's not a Maiden interview and not sure if it matches this topic but I saw Fear of the Dark tshirt on the Alien:Romulus director Fede Alvarez at ComicCon. It looks like shirt from that period.

And another Maiden Alien related trivia: there is a very small Xenomorph on Number of the Beast cover. Right below part.

New interview with Nicko

I haven't watch the whole thing, but I did watch where Nicko said that he's still not back to where he wants to be, he can't do a 16th note roll going into 32nd note rolls anymore. He can play 8th notes a do doubles. He has to adapt his fills now, he can't play the Trooper's fill because of the speed, he can do it slowly. As long as he keeps the groove and the band is very supportive. He is playing every day and is in his peak now (not sure he said that). He tries the fills with his solo band, but they don't work, so he's gone back to what he was playing with Maiden last year, which was playing straighter on those kind of fills. He is getting the triplets again and a couple of hi-hats for FOTD. It's all about the tempo of the songs, when they're fast he struggles, when they're slower he can do it.

He also said that Maiden don't rotate songs because of how the lights are programmed (?) and joked about BYD... TTS.

As I've said before, I'm happy with him changing the fills and adapting any parts he needs to. CSIT convinced me that I far prefer a different rhythm or groove that keeps the same tempo, rather than slowing down the entire song by a few bpm, which saps the song of its energy.

Yeah, bigger and theatrical shows tend to have rigid and intricate lighting routines. Makes sense for them to figure out one set and then keep to it. I like that approach.
