Iron Maiden Assen(NL) 16 august.
Bloody brilliant. (I'm not even a big fan).
Maybe other ageing rockstars (pushing 50) coull take 'enthousiasm' lessons from them.

I saw them live in South Africa many many moons ago!
They were fooking ace on stage and I'm not a fan either.

But those gigs were with the wrong lead singer. Great fun anyway.MadameButterfly wrote:I've seen them live in South Africa many many moons ago!

They played in Sweden two days after I got there, but my girlfriend, not being a fan, didn't bother getting tickets or even telling me and by the time I got there they were sold out

IZ.
I thought, and still think, that the first 2 LPs (with Paul DiAnno on vocals) were superb, really tough street/punk/metal with few frills.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

During the DiAnno era, a bit smaller than during the Dickinson era.weebleswobble wrote:Yes, but what size are they?mh wrote:I thought, and still think, that the first 2 LPs (with Paul DiAnno on vocals) were superb, really tough street/punk/metal with few frills.

So how was your stay in Sweden?hallucienate wrote: They played in Sweden two days after I got there, but my girlfriend, not being a fan, didn't bother getting tickets or even telling me and by the time I got there they were sold out
Did you find any records or books?

On a lighter note the support was f**king s**t (but I would n't hold it against them).
Lauren Harris - buttock clenchingly embarissing over the top rock n roll cliche.
Kamelot - yawn
Within Temptation - Nice voice, lovely looking, just not my cup of tea.

It was fantastic, thanks. I think I arrived just in time for the best weather. Stockholm is a really nice city, followed by a relaxing week in north of the Archipelago and a few days in Gotland. If found some music shops on Sodermalm and another one on Drottninggatan (that was full of Iron Maiden stuff). I've still got packets of Bilar to get through I really can't wait to go back - hopefully next summer if I can afford it and have enough leave.Nic wrote:So how was your stay in Sweden?hallucienate wrote: They played in Sweden two days after I got there, but my girlfriend, not being a fan, didn't bother getting tickets or even telling me and by the time I got there they were sold out
