IRON MAIDEN IS TOURING!!!!
I'm going to the Toronto show. Anyone else?

Posted by: Spiderusalem Nov 6 2007, 01:47 PM

I read the words "Iron Maiden" and "Touring" and my heart skipped a beat, and I get all teary eyed. I'm going to make it to the Los Angeles show. Any GMCers around the bay area wanna come with me?

Posted by: FretDancer69 Nov 6 2007, 01:48 PM

im going to the Costa Rica show, February 26 :D

Posted by: spdalton Nov 6 2007, 02:15 PM

They are going to Australia, so close to New Zealand! But just far enough so that I can't afford to go .

I don't think they have ever graced our country
Oh well, we get Santana, The Police and RATM next year for the first time.

They're coming to Colombia also , but I still don't know the dates.

Posted by: Animosity Nov 6 2007, 02:38 PM

Man! None of the tour dates are anywhere close to me!

COME ON! Who tours the US and goes to NEW JERSEY!!! AWW BUMMER!




P.S. - CoffeeMan here is the Colombia tour date:

What!?! They're not coming to Montreal?

At least the Toronto show is on a weekend. Gonna wait to see if they add Montreal or Quebec city before deciding anything

I wish dude .If i was around there i would go with you I would love to check out California ,i've never been.But i would hate that your in the nations most exspenive place to buy gas right now

Posted by: Spiderusalem Nov 6 2007, 03:29 PM

Iron Maiden. Thats who.



I wasn't aware of this. cheapest is like 3.25 a gallon here, what is it where you live?

Posted by: shredmandan Nov 6 2007, 03:38 PM

Its $2.99 at the moment and im pissed I could go on forever over the debate of fuel prices but i will spare you all .All i can say is that i really feel im going to cut back and drive as little as possible.I mean man im already broke then gas has to go up over 40 cents in the past week here.I will tell you one good thing though.I was looking on the internet for info on gas prices and found out in Europe the goverment charges 75% tax on gas .Gas is like almost $7.00 a gallon there and like $5.00 of that is tax!!!!!!!Guess atleast were not in there shoes YET

Posted by: Juan M. Valero Nov 6 2007, 03:47 PM

mmm I don't know if they play in Barcelona... but I will go !!! that's for sure

Posted by: Soul_Decision Nov 6 2007, 04:03 PM

I want to go with you man

Posted by: Spiderusalem Nov 6 2007, 04:06 PM

excellent. just to reiterate, I'm very serious about this. I'm going to take a bus down to LA, and I wanna see how many GMCers I can meet up with.

Posted by: Soul_Decision Nov 6 2007, 04:09 PM

Where are you located right now?

Posted by: Spiderusalem Nov 6 2007, 04:10 PM

San Francisco

in fact, I saw the pic of you at j-town. I figure you're pretty close

Posted by: Soul_Decision Nov 6 2007, 04:11 PM

Sweet, I was living about an hour away not too long ago.

I'm in Blythe, Cali right now.

Posted by: Spiderusalem Nov 6 2007, 04:18 PM

doh, what are you doing way out there =P ?

I guess if you're going we'd have to meet up in LA

Posted by: Soul_Decision Nov 6 2007, 04:20 PM

Parents wanted to come over here, we travel all over the US...I wanted to stay near San Francisco though......I love it there :/

Posted by: Robin Nov 6 2007, 05:28 PM

I'm seeing them next summer.

Posted by: The Uncreator Nov 6 2007, 08:01 PM

Yeah ive known of this for some time now, and they only got TWO US dates......

I hope they do a more thorough tour of the US than that sometime next year.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Nov 6 2007, 08:14 PM

They are coming to Argentina the next year too... I don't know if in Febrery or in March.

Posted by: blindwillie Nov 6 2007, 08:49 PM

This is a bit http://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesliv/musik/article434233.ab
In short Bruce Dickinson is flying, yes he will handle the sticks himself, norwegian fans from Oslo to Stockholm for the concert. On Bruce Air 666!?! Is this true?

Posted by: SLASH91 Nov 6 2007, 11:49 PM

They're not even coming close to me , and I sure can't afford to go to California or New Jersey

Posted by: ClifordACDC Nov 6 2007, 11:57 PM

i live in new jersy but i still doubt ill be able to. if i did it would be my first concert.

Posted by: SDMF75 Nov 6 2007, 11:58 PM

They are supposed to be hitting two months worth of dates in North America during May & June. No dates have been announced though. I'd be willing to drive 3 or 4 hours to see them as I haven't seen them since Fear of the Dark. Pretty much the only band that I'd be willing to travel to see anymore.
I'm anxious to see what cities they're going to hit in the Spring.

Posted by: SLASH91 Nov 7 2007, 01:16 AM

You'll have to write a review for us

Posted by: ZakkWylde Nov 7 2007, 01:25 AM

I'm going to see MAIDEN as headliner of 2008's Wacken festival!

Posted by: erik Nov 7 2007, 01:56 AM

yeah, you're not the one to complain I've only had my drivers licence for about three months, and my money is just flowing out of my pockets

Posted by: DeepRoots Nov 7 2007, 02:05 AM

I saw them last December at Cardiff CIA...Trivium supported and got completly ignored (except from me!!)

Maiden completly blew me away though...i was in complete awe

DeepRoots

Posted by: The Uncreator Nov 7 2007, 04:02 AM

Yeah Bruce has been doing that for quite some time now.

Posted by: erik Nov 7 2007, 06:23 AM

I think I'm gonna see them here in Norway the 24th, and at Wacken a couple of days later

Posted by: Steelkonsum Nov 8 2007, 07:20 PM

Im gonna try and catch the show in Gothenburg, Sweden when they come there. Tickets are released the 12th november. Unfortunatly Im in the military and wont be able to get them myself but will try and have someone buy it for me. All I can do is pray

Posted by: Fabian Schulz Nov 9 2007, 12:12 AM

one of my main reasons to go to wacken next year I always wanted to see them live but their concerts are really expensive. And now i can see them and about 80 other great bands too on a festival

Posted by: Davidian Nov 9 2007, 01:14 AM

I saw them in Graspop, Belgium this year! It's was so awesome, I stood in the front row with not an inch of space

here's Maiden playing the Trooper @ Graspop '07

Posted by: coffeeman Nov 9 2007, 01:53 AM

Thank you man!

Posted by: Davidian Nov 9 2007, 02:46 AM

Yeah wacken will be awesome I turn 18 1 month before Wacken so I'll make sure I have my drivers lisence and i'll go there with some friends !!

Posted by: jammer91 Nov 9 2007, 02:52 AM

The tour begins in Mumbai and ends in Toronto.

Im lucky enough to catch them in both places. I saw them this year (around march) in a Rock festival in Dubai *misses tank Eddie*.

Posted by: Aarggh Nov 12 2007, 10:48 AM

The only Canadian show is in Toronto. I'm living out in Victoria, BC but i'm flying out east for the show. I also took a second job (full time - *sigh*) to be able to afford to go.

Posted by: Robin Nov 12 2007, 04:54 PM

I just ordered tickets!!!!!!!

Posted by: KRmachine Nov 16 2007, 09:17 PM

I have one ticket for each of the Sweden shows, they sold out almost immediately but I got lucky. I can't wait!

Posted by: Vinicitur Feb 3 2008, 02:41 AM

They've just done their first show off this tour in India. This is what the setlist was:

Intro - Churchill's Speech
Aces High
2 Minutes To Midnight
Revelations
The Trooper
Wasted Years
The Number Of The Beast
Run To The Hills
Rime Of The Ancient Mariner
Powerslave
Heaven Can Wait
Can I Play With Madness
Fear Of The Dark
Iron Maiden

Encore:

Moonchild
The Clairvoyant
Hallowed Be Thy Name

This is gonna be HUGE

Posted by: The Uncreator Feb 3 2008, 03:36 AM

I just wish they were coming closer than 5,000 miles from me

Posted by: Robin Feb 3 2008, 03:38 AM

Posted by: Vinicitur Feb 3 2008, 03:43 AM

I'm still waiting to see if they're coming to Montreal in the second leg of their american tour. If not I'll probably go to Toronto. I haven't seen them live since "Fear of the Dark"

Posted by: JVM Feb 3 2008, 03:57 AM

I know! They're not coming near NC either

Posted by: Stevie·Ray·Vaughn Feb 3 2008, 05:18 AM

Seeing em in Toronto! Sorry to hear it Uncreator, you'll see em next time

Posted by: Juan M. Valero Feb 3 2008, 08:41 AM

Oh, yeah, Moonchild live !!!!! love this song

Posted by: Freebird Feb 10 2008, 01:39 AM

Whoa.... Here in Italy it's 1.32 €/litre at the moment the LOWEST you can find (will go over 1.40 near highways). Let's convert it in U.S. friendly dollars/gallon... 6€/gallon and strong euro vs dollar = 8,6$/gallon. Don't faint The only thing I can think of is that in the U.K it costs even more!
........ And in the U.S. I could refill my scooter's tank for just over 3 dollars??

Back on topic, Iron Maiden is coming by in Bologna, but the ticket price is 103,50 euros!!! That's approx 150$!!! I think that's very much exagerrated, althought you get Avenged Sevenfold there too...
I don't think I'll ever get to see Iron Maiden for free.

By the way, how much does it cost in you country?

Posted by: skennington Feb 10 2008, 01:51 AM

For those that hav'nt seen this, check it out. I never would have thought Dickenson could do this as well!

Posted by: The Uncreator Feb 10 2008, 02:31 AM

Yeah Bruce has been a licensed pilot for quite some time, Nicko as well flies planes too

Bruce was also once offered to be on the Olympic Fencing team, but do to his touring with maiden on the world slavery tour, he couldn't do it.

Bruce is full of surprises

Posted by: ZakkWylde Feb 10 2008, 02:34 AM

Can't make it to Wacken this year and it's the only Iron Maiden gig in Germany for 2008!
