Standing tickets for the NEC sold out before I could get one, I have to go to a wedding on the dates of the O2 gigs so tomorrow I'm setting off on a 3.5 hour drive to Newcastle, going mental, having a few bottles of Trooper, crashing in the closest hotel, then driving home at 5am to get to work on Wednesday. And I bet it'll be worth it. How was it? Got a standing ticket for Tuesday (sorry!) - seen them plenty of times but will always find an excuse for another show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce was on point - I wasn't sure his voice was still up for Aces High and Where Eagles dare but he nailed them. Really exciting set, quite a few in there they haven't performed in nearly a couple of decades. the art and stage set pieces were all top notch too. Clansman was a personal highlight, mostly due to me being surrounded by a bunch of Scots, they all went mental. Killswitch Engage put on a good enough show as a warm up act, I guess.They're not for me though, too shouty and angry. **** ever driving to Newcastle and back in 24 hours to watch a gig, though, never again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s cool, Maiden do tend to mix it up quite a lot! Still waiting for a “Seventh Son” tour though and would have thought the 30 year anniversary would have been a good shout... Killswitch Engage I’ve been a fan of since they broke through (2002/3?) but was a little surprised to see them support Maiden, not sure how the fans would take to them as very different style! And yeah, that drive to Newcastle is nuts. I’ve done it before but not for a gig. I also split it stopping overnight but that is bloody crazy!

I have seen Killswitch Engage with Jesse, with Howard and with Jesse again, always enjoyable but preferred them during their initial period with Jesse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah AOJB is definitely their best work and I prefer the Jesse later albums. Never got a chance to see Jesse live first time round though as first proper tour here (I think) Howard was already on board. Howard was fine, but Jesse is definitely the voice of KSE.

Correct, I think they came over here with 36 Crazyfists and Howard Jones was with them then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I've just been told I need to go to Coventry (I know) on Tuesday. The Tuesday that Maiden are at the NEC. **** it. I'm going to see them again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 Rare advance notice of a gig by Llwybr Llaethog, this Thursday. Gigs are few and far between one offs and usually the contrary bastards like to announce them as they are doing the sound check. I'm in Northampton on Thursday, but I'll be getting back for this, I've never yet managed to see them, so this won't be missed. I won the tour man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I'm not a big iron maiden fan at all. My wife likes them, but I keep saying I wouldn't mind going to see them. I might try and catch them one of the days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted August 9, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 9, 2018 Saw Maiden on Tuesday thanks to my mate who had a spare ticket. Fantastic show - Bruce(*) really went all out with his costumes this time (positively Peter Gabriel-esque at times) The stage and props were amazing, the band were flying, the set list was sensational and it was just all-round brilliant. And to top it all of it was Bruce(*)'s 60th birthday. How he has that much energy still I doubt anyone will be able to ever adequately explain. * (not Steve) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only get ripped off, if you are prepared to be ripped off. No one makes you buy overpriced tickets At least you haven't been to see someone shite, I do fear what you post in this topic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll await your merriment in the Autumn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
