No, not that. The fact that we have CONFIRMED Maiden date for next year is enough, and in a part of the world they haven't played before?! Fuck yeah :metal:

ES156 and I had the pleasure of Maiden & Mastodon in Denver for their Ozzfest offdate gig.... :tongue:
Alright, this coupled with Bruce's hint at a Euro festival is sign enough that Maiden will be in action next year. Any bets as to whether or not we'll be getting some U.S. Of friggin' A dates?

There will be at least one California date... probably down South. That's my bet.

And we got to hear Where Eagles Dare!!!!!!!!!!!!!:horns:
Which was probably worth the trip all by itself! :rocker:
But we also got to hear Prowler, Another Life, Drifter, and Remember Tomorrow, which are all songs that I thought I would never get to see live. Too bad you weren't in the pit with us. It was a blast. I think Ed sold an extra pit ticket right before the show. If we had known you were there, it could have been yours.

If we had known you were there, it could have been yours.Where Eagles Dare is my favorite Maiden song due to the fact it is the opening song of the concert on World Piece Tour when I first saw Maiden live in '83:eyes: I was with a couple of friends at the Denver show so 1 pit ticket would not have worked anyways! I would not want to have left them since they bought my ticket in the first place. I had a good location in the seats!!!

The word choice of "kid" with "kidney" made me chuckle quite a bit. :D
