Who's going to go?

Mark351 · 06-09-2007, 08:23 AM

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

I went to the 1991 show, was awesome! Been a long time since though!

Mark351 · 06-09-2007, 08:27 AM

Should be great set list judging by this bit!

Rod Smallwood, Iron Maiden's Manager, further commented; "Following Bruce's various hints from on stage this last year about our plans for 2008 ("We are taking some time off to build some pyramids!"), fans have been pestering me for details of the tour and especially asking which songs from that era will be played. That may be as easy as a run in the hills but we will keep our aces close to our chest on this issue. I know it would only take a couple of minutes but at this stage of planning, I'd have to be clairvoyant to know what they will do. I'm sure though it will be no revelation for you that we intend to make up for those wasted years by visiting a large number of hallowed metal venues around the world. Historically 'Powerslave' was an incredibly important album for the band and it would be madness if we didn't give the fans a taste of the full on Iron Maiden show from that time. With our jumbo there really is no rime nor reason why the band cannot now visit fans almost everywhere as many have been real troopers to have waited this long. Heaven only knows what the band will choose but if l could and did tell you now l would have to shoot you! You'll all have to be patient and see. But it will be spectacular. No fear!!"

You do realise that current Metallica would belong in that "today's trash metal" group? I mean, yeah, St Anger was just so so much better than Master of Puppets. /sarcasm ;)

There's a lot of good new (not nu) hard-hitting, raw, butt-kicking metal these days guys.

XR5Turbo · 07-09-2007, 11:55 PM

Imagine all the black T shirts they will sell :sm_headba

Yea definetly, i went to Sabbath and thought it was mad, and i know of a few people that are filthy they didnt go. But i reckon for any fan to miss this would be madness.
