The mighty Iron Maiden are playing a one off gig at the Brixton Academy on the 24 june in aid of their previous drummer, Clive Burr who has MS. This will be their last UK show of 07. It will be awesome to see them in a smaller venue like Brixton.
I got first dibs on tickets, as part of the fan club presale, So i will be there and i cant wait. Any one on here going??
Maiden are the best band i have seen live and this will be my third time. I couldnt get tickets to see them at Download as i am working so this is an added bonus. its a shame i cant be there to watch them educate the EMO kids on real metal lol.
Maiden are still going strong after nearly 30 years and in my eyes are the greatest original metal band still around.
So on the eve of their headlining performance at Download I thought I would ask you fellow Egoaters,
1. "What first got you into liking Maiden"??
2. "What album/Albums would you rate as their best"??
3. "What song/Songs would you rate as their best"??
4. "Any stories from past gigs/meeting them etc etc"??
For me my brother got me into Maiden during the eighties. My favorite album's have to be number of the beast/Somewhere in time/A matter of life and death my Favourite songs are Iron Maiden/The Trooper/Number of the beast/Aces high/Wasted years/Paschendale/The longest day. I was lucky enough to meet their drummer Nicko Mcbrain whilst at Drummer live 06 and he is a really nice guy. He performed a half hour showcase and i have to say he is one of the greatest metal drummers still out there.
I look forward to your replies
Cheers MD
