Iron Maiden

Sunday headlining for Hellfest in France And last night in Geneva...

A look back at Ed Force One during the 2016 tour...currently, it does not make sense to use a plane while touring Europe as cities are so close to each other...Hoping that when they announce the " rest of the World " portion of this tour, we'll see a new version of it.....

Last night, in Prague.....

Saturday night in Florence Italy..... And Sunday night in Austria....

Tonight was Berlin's turn...The Clansman live is awesome !

As I mentioned earlier, I get it...I don't think I'm missing anything....I do think however that it's possible to have a President that brings results without being look upon as a punch line....it'd be great for Trump to stop with the " Kim Jong Un loves his people " type of declarations....We are allowed to want both results and non idiotic statements .....

Good post......I'm having a hard time dealing with the narcissism.....but his performance is better than expected....I wish he would go about it differently... See above...

Oh I understand what happened.....just don't like it.....I want a Republican President that doesn't act like a petulant child....he really does remind me of Rex Ryan....it's all about him......some of his statements are beyond laughable......there's a weird new " normal " with Trump....

No, but the GOP can do better than Donald freaking Trump....

I'm a republican but not a Trump fan either.....It's like having Rex Ryan as the President.....

Last night was the 1st of 4 stops in Germany...Scream for me Munich !!

The complete show in Denmark Yesterday, they went back to Sweden for their summer festival...HUGE crowd...

After only just a few shows, the critics are all in agreement...Iron Maiden still kicks butt ! https://ironmaiden.com/news/article/ln-press-release

They look good...My only worries are Bruce's voice ( after throat cancer, you can't take anything for granted ) and Nicko....Drumming for Iron Maiden is hard...imagine doing it in your 60's...

Last night in Norway was the 1st of several summer festival Maiden will headline...this one is called " Trondheim ".....

I'm with you on this..... Metal/Hard Rock is my favorite type of music by far, but I'll listen to other kind of Rock...... Pink Floyd, Rush and the Rolling Stones are good examples of the other bands I like......my wife is a huge Collective Soul fan and it's starting to grow on me.... Nothing however comes close to Maiden, Megadeth , Metallica, Judas Priest etc.......

Nicko McBrain ....I love that old geezer...he's in his 60's and still playing metal...When Iron Maiden is not touring or recording a new album, he lives in Florida where he owns a BBQ/Smokehouse joint called " Rock and Roll Ribs "...it's must stop if you're a Maiden fan...Tons of memorabilia........

The boys were in Stockholm tonight......Sweden has always loved Maiden...from the very 1st album, they've been revered up there.

A lot of Maiden's song offer tempo swings ( from slow to heavy or heavy to slow )....just on this current tour, there's 4 songs that fits that criteria....Sign of the cross, Clansman, Hallowed be thy name and For the Greater good of God.... Music is such a personal thing....but clearly, they have a HUGE following....not many metal bands can sellout arenas anywhere on the planet like they do....as sometime else mentioned, they are Heavy Metal legends ( with Sabbath, Priest etc...) For Iron Maiden fans, it's also great that they still pump out some new stuff every 3-4 years...Book of Souls (2016 ) was a fantastic album....

I've been lucky enough to see them many many times...1st was on the Piece of Mind tour in 1983....I try to do a minimum of 2 shows per tour....Cannot wait for this one ! 2nd night in Finland.....Love the stage !

First of 2 sold out nights in Helsinki...the Fins do love their metal !

It's funny how things turn out...when I was in HS in the mid 80's, they were considered real heavy.....compared to some of the stuff today, it 's definitely lighter.....

....started today across the pond.....The Set List is absolutely perfect !! It's going to be an intense 18 months !

A motivated Brady has been the most dangerous weapon in the NFL for the last 20 years...let's hope he's actually thinking about stopping for real....although that article about having a countdown clock in his gym towards SB52 doesn't sound like someone who's thinking about retirement...... Just retire Tom...you're the best ever, blah blah blah...now just leave us alone......
