I dont know really many places to visit there about heavy metal and similar but there ir a thing very curious there. The second time that the band played in Paris many fans were gathered close to Eiffel tower and next they destroyed one of the wagon on the underground. Then, heavy metal was forbidden there and it can be [!--emo&:hammerhead:--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/smashfreakB[1].gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'smashfreakB[1].gif\' /][!--endemo--] [!--emo&:unsure:--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/unsure.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'unsure.gif\' /][!--endemo--] [!--emo&--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/cool.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'cool.gif\' /][!--endemo--] read in that station, perhaps anyone could say here Which one is, and how to access there.

Let's put things straight here...

To start with, the second concert of Maiden in Paris took place just outside the capital, in a nearby town called Nogent-sur-Marne, at a place known as Pavillon Baltard. This place is in the East of Paris, whereas the Eiffel tower is towards the West. So you've got the wrong info there!

It is true that some dumb \"fans\" destroyed an entire coach of the express rail network, the driver actually stopped in a tunnel before a station called \"Nation\" and re-started the train when it was ascertained that the police was present on the platform to arrest the vandals. However, there were not special measures taken against Heavy Metal concerts, only a subsequent reinforced police presence at the venues.

One last thing: You posted in English in a French-speaking BB. Try to avoid it in the future, as you may confuse some non-English-speaking visitors [!--emo&^_^--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/happy.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'happy.gif\' /][!--endemo--]

Si je ne m'abuse Mav', après ce navrant épisode le Pavillon Baltard n'a plus été utilisé pour les concerts de heavy metal.

Je ne suis pas certain qu'il y ait de lien de cause à effet entre les incidents de la station Nation le changement dans la programation de concerts dans cette salle mais je me souviens que cette affaire avait fait grand bruit à l'époque et la une de quotidiens nationaux tel que \"Le Parisien\".

Après ce concert, le show Maiden a eu lieu à l'Espace Balard sous un chapîteau cerné de CRS, et ce jusqu'à ce que Bercy soit fini de construire. Le massacre que ces crétins avaient perpétré est même allé jusqu'à faire un beau sujet dans Enfer Magazine où le journaliste regrettait qu'une poignée d'imbéciles donnent mauvaise presse aux autres métalleux... et il avait bien raison!

Au fait, ça tente quelqu'un des traduc' de passages de la bio officielle de Maiden?

On retrouve également trace de ce facheux évènement dans le programme du World Piece Tour dans la partie du texte consacrée à la précédente tournée.
