The Iron Maiden Thread

[Malcolm]

IRON MAIDEN's official web site has been updated with the following message:

"The IRON MAIDEN shows in Western Canada have now sold every available ticket in each market in just four days. The band encourages any non-ticket holders to check back in a couple weeks and just before the show as production releases may become available when the stage has been set in each arena, check with your local box office or www.ironmaiden.com for further updates. Even if some tickets may have to be stamped with a slightly restricted side view, fans will still be able to experience the incredible communal atmosphere of a MAIDEN concert."

Commented vocalist Bruce Dickinson: "We are truly overwhelmed by this response, especially as some of these cities we haven't played in 20 years!! Being Brits we are always very comfortable with Canadians and it will be a great pleasure to get back on the prairies again. It was always a LOUD response there! We look forward to this immensely and hope to give you all a show to remember."

MAIDEN's North America leg of the global "Somewhere Back in Time World Tour 08" starts in Texas on May 21 and ends on June 21 somewhere in Canada. The band already circled the planet in its customized Boeing 757 flown by vocalist Bruce Dickinson taking them to 23 sold out shows in 10 countries in 45 days and a distance of almost 50,000 miles, making it an average of a major show every alternate day with each one an average of about 2,000 miles apart. Following the North America leg, the band will undertake an extensive tour of stadiums and major festivals around Europe, by the end of which they will have played to some one and a half million fans.

On May 13, EMI will release the "Best of .....1980 - 1989" album, aptly entitled "Somewhere Back in Time" and featuring 14 classic tracks from this period.

Iron Maiden make first ever movie

'Flight 666' follows the band's 2008 tour

Iron Maiden have announced details of their first ever feature-length documentary, to be released in cinema's worldwide on April 21.

'Iron Maiden: Flight 666 - The Movie' follows the band's 2008 'Somewhere Back In Time Tour', which saw them play to nearly half a million fans across the world.

Camera crews were given exclusive access to the band, and footage includes singer Bruce Dickinson flying a specially customised Iron Maiden jumbo jet to each destination.

Despite singing at 23 shows in 45 days, Dickinson also piloted the Boeing 747 - christened Ed Force One - for much of the trip.

The band's crew and equipment also travelled on the plane.

Damn it.



Pop sensation MILEY CYRUS has blasted critics who branded her a "poser" for wearing heavy metal T-shirts, insisting she is a true IRON MAIDEN fan.
The Hannah Montana star has been spotted donning an assortment of rock shirts in recent months, including an Iron Maiden tee on Saturday (17Jan09).
But the star is adamant she is actually a follower of the British metal band - and isn't just wearing the garment to look cool.
In a video posted on clip-sharing website YouTube.com, Cyrus says, "I'm sure you all have seen me rocking an Iron Maiden shirt lately and I know there's been some people saying, 'Oh, she's a poser,' and 'The only reason she's wearing Iron Maiden is because she wants to be a rock star.'
"So, Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills, Fear of the Dark, Running Free, (all) good song(s), check it out. So thank you, guys. I actually do like Iron Maiden."

[Pinball Wizard]

I saw Iron Maiden yesterday, here in Rio de Janeiro, as part of their "Somewhere Back in Time Tour".

I got front row, right in front of Steve Harris and Janick Gers, I had a blast!

The best thing was that the band brought to Brazil THE SAME SHOW they put out in Europe, with the same pyro but with a better setlist!

Best show of my life! 

[Mr. Dick Purple]

So what if Miley likes Maiden, even my niece likes maiden and Milie Cirus what's the big deal?? leave the people alone.
Also last tuesday I saw them here In Ecuador here's a picture with my father in law 



And here with my future wife jejejeje but she doesn't know it yet 

[CheapJon]

sitting here listening to them, not a big fan but as miley () the hits are pretty damn good so thinking about trying to get into them..


anyway, it's pretty much 99% confirmed that they'll headline the sonisphere festivals next summer, it'll be revealed later this day

'Powerslave', 'Seventh Son of A Seventh Son' and 'Brave New World' would be my recommendation. My favorite band ever.
