3 things on Iron Maiden - Death/Near Future/Finally.

I think this is going to be a long post with lots of pics.

1) Been listening to a lot of Clive Burr last two weeks, after he died
I cramped my mp3 player with all the official Clive Burr releases with Maiden...
The studio albums, the singles with the bsides songs which are fantastic really, ooo and Live In Hammersmith double cd which is part of the Eddie Archives boxset. Stunning play by him on this live album, especially as during that time TNOTB album was not released yet when they record this live show...so the audience was practically hearing many songs for the first time in their lives and its played live. That must have been an awesome feeling.

And speaking of death, Iron Maiden tour staff and also ex drum tech for Nicko McBrain had passed away too. Steve Gadd or Gaddsy.
Its like a double blow for Maiden definitely. Clive Burr and Gaddsy.


2) Metal Hammer Magazine April 2013 issue is packed with Maiden articles..
Maiden on the cover jacket, Maiden cover on the actual magazine, lots and lots of Maiden.

I guess its all about celebrating the release of the official cd and dvd of Maiden England 1988, and also celebrating Iron Maiden headlining with  the similar theme history tour in Castle Donington Park Download Festival. British and world's finest, headlining at a historic English concert location.
This is certainly going to be a huge occasion really...
Especially with the loss of Clive Burr and Steve Gadd, Maiden will certainly play a blinder.

Can sense a bit of stress coming especially on
reading this below article haha.

I dont know why, but its seems the rest of  of the world had got their tickets delivered but not me....
I hope I can settle this problem....

Or else if I really managed to travel, and arriving at Donington with 100,000 fans, and what can I do without a ticket?
I hope I dont panic, got to check this problem out.

But still, I have not even see my work roster, had not even applied for leave.
Have not check among my colleagues to cover me.
Thousand things can go wrong...
Anything practically.

I can just prepare to the best of my ability and hope all will be well...



3) and last... ok I finally got my copy of the Maiden England 1988 release on double cd and double dvd.
I just rip both cds. So I can listen to it while walking and talking public transport....
But I dont know when I can check out both dvds, it going to be awesome definitely...

Maybe I'll write about these releases sooner or later.





UP THE IRONS!
