Maiden

[DocNrock]

Hey all-

Has anyone seen Maiden on this current tour?  The one review I read was beyond glowing.  That said, I scored a pair of tickets for this coming Friday.  Megadeth and Testament are playing also, as well as a couple of other bands I haven't heard of.

I think they are in Austin Tonight... a little too far for me..
I saw them last year and 2 years before that (and many times in the 80s) and they are in better shape than any other band in their age range   Bruce sounds great and is always fun to watch!!
Long story short, you will have an awesome time Friday!!!!

BTW, last year I brought my 7 year old (yeah I know, I'm going to hell now) and he had the best time of his life!! he is still talking about it now, and I am sure he will never forget that night!!

Great to hear, Marko.  I think it's awesome you took your son.  The look on his face, the utter amazement, is priceless.

Bruce is looking a little "feminine" theses days.  :headbang1:

I got to see the Maidens here a couple weeks back. Friggin' rocking show. Definitely go see them if you get the chance.

Saw Maiden on the Piece of Mind, Powerslave and Somewhere on Tour tours. Great stuff.

I saw them on the Powerslave tour back in the day, and it remains the biggest rock spectacle I've ever seen. Egyptian pyramids, gigantic Eddie mummy shooting flames out of his eyes. What's not to love. I've spent my whole adult life telling my kids how awesome it was.

Imagine my elation when a few years ago they announced the "Somewhere Back in Time" tour, complete with the entire stage set from the Powerslave tour. I took my wife and both out kids, and got to relive my experience with them. It was pretty freaking awesome.

Iron Maiden = good family fun.

On another note, those guys haven't missed a step, particularly Bruce. I would sure like to know how he has kept his voice is such tremendous shape. In a time when aging singers are retiring or their bands are tuning down 1/2 or an entire step or more to accommodate their failing range, Bruce is sounding better than he did in the 30 years ago. They've all stayed in good shape too.

Up the irons!
