Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

[Fabio Maiden]

Hello Fabio. I don't know if you have read the entire interview but if you did you probably noticed is written in a strange (I would say BAD) english. This is because the interview was written in spanish and then badly translated to english. Now, by doing so, the comment Bruce made was badly translated and came as he had a girlfriend and split Paddy... As a matter of fact Bruce and his entire family attended a show recently so I don't think he had a divorce...

On another note, let's PLEASE not delve into the personal life of the members. I have just answered the question because I've become quite tired of people making a fuss about the commentary when is quite obvious that the whole interview is pretty badly written

That really changes things, definitely.
We should blame it on the bad translator, then.
Thank you for the clarification

Really great talk by Trevor Gibson, the man responsible for getting Bruce to Sarajevo!

My first thought on seeing this was, oh ffs Rod ...

But to be fair, considering this sort of idea has been floating around in the modelling community for some time, I suppose you can't blame him for trying

It's very possible that Bruce & Janick friendship could have started in a Slade concert in December 18th, 1982 at Hammersmith Odeon, London.
(Slade played there on 17th & 18th December of 1982)

Nice find but, if I am not mistaken, Bruce knew Janick before he (i.e. Bruce) joined Maiden.

Plus Revell made the official Ed Force One model kit, so this was almost inevitable. Whatever next, Bruce's Fokker Dr.1?

They had toured together in mid 1981, when Janick was with Gillan and Bruce with Samson. Both bands were at Reading that year (Saturday).

As were Steve and Rod.

As were Steve and Rod.

Thankfully.

 

[The_7th_one]

…and Nicko with Trust
LOL

Bruce has said more than once that he first met Janick when the latter was still in White Spirit.

According to What Does This Button Do?, page 207, you're right.

Was briefly interested, but 1/72 is the one true scale

Correct!

 

[srfc]

looking forward to reading the review. I love when reviewers write a load of guff about songs that go on to become stone cold classics.

Thanks for doing this @The7th_one. So cool reading old magazines

You're welcome! More stuff for tomorrow
