Iron Maiden Fans Unite!

[Boba Binks]

So who here is going to the Iron Maided - GIVE ME ED... TIL I'M DEAD TOUR Concert August 9, 2003 in Columbus, Ohio? I am going with my best freind Mark.
Dio and Motorhead are the opening groups.



I saw IM in Chicago a few years ago with Queensryche and Halford! That was a excellent concert.

So anyone else here a Maiden Fan!?!

Anyone know if Motorhead is any good?

Find out more at the Iron Maiden website!!http://www.ironmaiden.com/ironmaiden/index.asp

Heh, bit of a drive for me, otherwise I probably would.  I don't think Maiden's been up here for 15 years.  Sad really.  

Motorhead - Ace of Spades.  If you like metal, they'll be just fine.  Never saw them live though, so can't say the show will be very good.  My opinion of them is they were speed metal before speed metal was cool.  Never understood a damn word they said  Had a bunch of albums (yes, vinyl) a t-shirt or two and a bandana.

Man  now thast a line up that brings back memories. I haven't heard IM in years. Columbus is a little far for me but it will be a great time.

 Morgbug I remember getting the Ace of Spades. I forgot all about it. Now I can hear it playing in my head..   " You know I'm going to loose Gambling is for fools but thats the way I like I don;t want to live forever""  Or atleast thats what I remember.

 I am sure you will like Motorhead if they still have the same sound.

I'm a huge Iron Maiden fan, but I don't have the money to go to any of the concerts.  Plus, I don't think I would drive all the way from Chicago to Ohio to see them.  Trust me though, I would love to go if I could.

[MetalJedi]

Man, Im totally gonna miss IM again they never come to SLC or Boise. I personally would skip DIO. But you have to see Lemmy and Motorhead.

Thanks for the heads up but Ohio is a bit of a drive for me to see Maiden again, but I'll consider it. I'll check and see if they are coming a little closer to home(I'm north of Lansing, MI). They usually hit a couple venues in/near Detroit, Auburn Hills and Grand Rapids. I've seen DIO a couple times and he "rocks"! Also seen Maiden several times, the last time with Dickenson's replacement and it just wasn't the same. I'm stoked that Bruce is back where he belongs.

They are in Chicago on Sunday August 10  - Tweeter Center (tickets on sale 31st May).

If, somehow, John Bonham, George Harrison, John Lennon, Keith Moon, John Entwistle, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, and Jimi Hendrix were to rise from their graves tomorrow, reform with their old bands and announce a concert in Ohio, that's what it would probably take for me to drive all that way for a show.

Interesting way of stating your musical tastes.  I'm there though if they all crawl out.  Not sure if you would include it, but if Morrison made it out of the earth, that could be an entertaining show too (providing you're in the same state of mind).

So any Maiden fans in here? I was a big metal head in Jr High, as some of you might remember. and Iron Maiden was my favorite band. Well I just checked their site and they are coming to San Antonio!!!!! I am so there. I didn't go to their big tour supporting the 7th Son of a 7th Son album. But I did go to the last one, and I willbe there again!!!! So anyone else like em and is going to their concert??? Check thier site to see if they're comimg to a city near you.

So anyone see a concert by them, and are you going???

And uh JediMac, that is totally another band!!!!

[Morgbug]

Not only another band, but really not such a good one.  We walked out of their concert during the first song.  Went to see the warmup acts, Kick Axe (local Winnipeg band with a really, really hard edge to cover tunes) and Whitesnake.  

I think Quiet Riot opened with Bang your head.  Pretty impressive to see about 10,000 people waving the middle finger salute in unison.  I think EVERYBODY went to that concert to see Whitesnake.  

Maybe it's an LA thing

[JediMAC]

And uh JediMac, that is totally another band!!!!

Uh...  I knew that!        

Yeah, I was running that through my noggin, and something didn't seem quite right about the connection that I was making there, but I did it anyways.  Duh.  Meesa bombad stupido!  

I knew those two songs were Van Halen all along!
