Neither. I’ve been on this forum before, ages ago (2015-ish) with the username Somewhere Online. I mostly posted about Trooper beer, the VIP passes to the TBoS tour, some WW2 stuff, and band trivia on random threads.

I also re-emerged briefly in 2019 to comment on the LotB tour, particularly the Tacoma, WA show where I was present. At that show, a fight between security and a drunk fan broke out (near where I was standing) during Sign of the Cross. Bruce commented on the altercation in his intro to The Evil that Men Do. The incident was newsworthy enough at the time to where it was being discussed here.

I added an opinion that, despite what Bruce saw (multiple security guards taking down one person) the drunk guy was no “kid” (as Bruce referred to him) and had been starting trouble with other fans and security prior to the incident.

I kind of left off this forum tbh because I felt I was spending too much time digging into Iron Maiden trivia with discussions like “Why was Clive Burr Fired?” etc when my life was already busy.

But, I am not Eddie’s Uncle nor is he I.

(Edit now that I noticed) Despite our both having the exact same Women in Uniform avatar.

I now better understand the joke/question.

Welcome back!

I had the “privilege” of seeing Maiden at the Tacoma Dome on Future Past tour. Let’s just say that story does not surprise me one bit.

Not my favorite venue but an accessible one where Maiden usually plays. Saw Maiden there twice (TBoS and LotB ) and Sabbath once.

Not sure why it’s usually there and not Key Arena (ok, Climate Pledge, whatever) in Seattle.

As much as I enjoy Vegas, though, the worst venue I saw Maiden play in was the Mandalay. Only one entrance to the place and a line that basically extended out into the casino.

On the plus side (this was also TBoS), I saw Flight 666 parked the airport on my way home the next day, and later saw Nicko and Steve boarding the plane.

Steve looked introspective, like he wanted to be left alone.

Nicko shook hands and chatted with almost everyone in his path on the way to the gate (airport was not crowded).
 
Oh wow, this forum from about 10 years ago is coming back to me.

People REALLY HATED Wrathchild.

That poor song. I felt bad for it.

This thread is how I found this site when I googled the Trooper VIP package to see if it was worth it.

Funny thread in that Chad the drummer from Tulsa really liked Kim the Trooper VIP party planner. Like, a lot.
