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.
(http://www.ironmaiden.com/ironmaiden/tour/im2.jpg)
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 ;D 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.
-
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.

So anyone see a concert by them, and are you going???
And uh JediMac, that is totally another band!!!! 8)
-
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 :-*

Uh... I knew that! :-[ :P ::) :-[
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! ;D
I knew those two songs were Van Halen all along! :-*
-
Really? I liked em. I have since I was s lil girl and they used to play their videos on MTV, back when MTV played videos.
Hey I got to see them open up for Poison back in '01 over at San Antonio. IT was a pretty good concert, The Glam Slam Metal Jam. Poison was headlining. Let see if I can remember the lineup.
Bullet Boys, they sucked.
Enuff ZNuff, they didn't play their one hit.
Quiet Riot
Vince Neil, he played all of the aweome Crue songs.
Warrant, and they kicked so much butt, with thier song Cherry Pie
Poison, I don't care about what people say about glam rock, these guys put on one hell of a show. Worth every penny I spent. If you get a chance to go definately check em out.
Oh and Quiet Riot had an autograph session and I got all of their signiatures. They seem pretty cool and freindly to their fans.

I am in the middle updating all my Maiden from Cassette to CD and I am in desperate need of a few B-Sides that I cannot track down. If anyone collects please drop me an email and I can fill you in with what I am missing. I have over 40 B-Sides as well as Rare Live, Demos, Alt Versions that I can trade for. Looking for CD quality. Will take in mp3 format if ya have em. Thanks in advance!

Being an Iron Maiden fan, I'll respond, but can offer no assistance. This has proven to be one of the really great frustrations I've had with the transition from old music formats (vinyl/cassette) to new formats (primarily CD). There is just so much music that you cannot find on disc these days and it is very annoying.
It's great to find a greatest hits package out there, but I have yet to find one that actually contains all the songs I want to hear. So many gems from albums (i.e. vinyl) are lost in this transition. Not sure how many remember Y & T or UFO, but good luck finding even a greatest hits disc from either of those bands, let alone any of the original music. Then what about more obscure bands from the 60's and 70's? Budgie? Think their album is going to make it to disc? I don't :'(
Pre-cd, I had at least 180 tapes. These were 90 minute tapes, so an album on each side for 360 albums. I have nearly half remaining that I have not been able to replace with discs. Grrrr. My wife is pestering me to get rid of them - in many respects they're worthless - I don't even have a cassette player in the house or the car. I do still have a walkman that plays cassettes though.
Anyway, long rant. Good luck finding that stuff. Past experience tells me you'll end up fairly disappointed. :-\

LMK if you need any Maiden stuff. I have been real fortunate and locating 95%+ of the B-Sides and other odd ball stuff that was originally available on cassette and LP in CD quality form. I have a master list of everything. LMK if ya want me to shoot you the list. The stuff basically breaks down to 7-8 full CD's.
I am all too familiar with the bands you mentioned. Believe it or not, alot of that stuff is available. Like you said, tracking it down is the hard part. I find almost all the common stuff from the 70's and 80's which is not available in this country anymore on CD via Europe.
Check out www.towerrecords.com for a selection of UFO. If you are looking for a specific LP on CD shoot me an email. I have a few overseas sources.
