Okay, it's time to share a bit sour reflections, my friends. I swear to you I'm not trolling, spreading infantile rumours or other bullshit, I'm frank and honest with you! There're many controversial moves on behalf of Live Nation in North America proving the ticket sales figures must be far from impressive so far L Unfortunately they closed sales for many seats all over the particular venues, and some observations allow to estimate current sales figures as 3 to 4 thousand (!) tickets in some places as Phoenix, Philadelphia, Las Vegas and Nashville. Drama!
I repeat...sellout or not...I have my seat.
It's gonna be me & Iron F*cking Maiden in the same building at a ridiculously loud volume.
The driving thump in my chest will be compliments of Nicko & Steve.
The ringing in my ears for the days after the show will be compliments of Yanny, Dave & Adrian...metal's version of Cerebus.
The hairs standing on end will be compliments the Human Air Raid siren, Bruce Dickinson, STILL killing it over 35 years down the road.
In my younger days, those same raised hairs would be singed off with the pyro.
I've been in the trenches, I had my elbows
on the stage in Germany on the World Slavery Tour.
I've been to the mountain top.
Now, though, I'm at an age when, if I feel like sitting, I want to sit. So, I have 100 level seats. No singed hairs, but still plenty of heat.
So, sour reflections be damned. It's me and Iron F*cking Maiden, one more time.
