Fitz666 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 The Glasgow show was superb. Overall being the SECC the sound wasn't fantastic apart from Steve bass sound and Nicko's drums. The second half was more of the older stuff with the first being off the new album. My main gripe was that the stage was too low so to really see it you had to watch the big screens, I have a telly in my house for that kind of thing. So I am sure you will have a great gig and after 15 albums they have only gotten better, not many bands you can say that about.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(just out of interest! haha) I'm going Maiden spotting today in like an hour as i've dreamt of even just getting a photo of them for like 4/5 years and i don't think i'll take a camera tonight so i can get up to the front! (Need to see Steve Harris up on the moniter!)[/quote] I'm a Desktop and Server Engineer currently outsourced to a company in Union Plaza. Might go for a wander too and see if they're kicking about.. Though i'm sure they'll just look like someones metal dad doing the shopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I first saw Iron Maiden in Genoa when they were supporting Kiss. Must have been 1978 or so. Off to the Manchester gig next week after a gap of 23 years since I last saw live... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just mush, but that may have been the venue as it's like that alot (Maiden were fine though!) Decent hard rocking Aussie style rock! All the songs sounded the same minus one which i really liked actually! [quote name='bartelby' post='1312291' date='Jul 22 2011, 06:30 AM']Is he still using a white one then?

Bit too much like ACDC for my liking (whom I'm also not a fan of) Maiden were pretty awesome, the older stuff was much better than the newer stuff i thought. Was in stitches at Bruce getting distacted mid song by the girl flashing ("Did you just flash your T!ts? You did didnt you? They were very nice") The amount of faded band tshirts and denim was shocking! Oh and white dunlop trainers.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bit of a blur songs ending as it was all so awesome!

Rayman Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I'd love to have seen them again, but couldn't justify the cost. The last time I saw them was in '81, with the original lineup, DiAnno, Burr, Harris, Stratton and Murray. They were the first band I'd ever seen live, and I was blown away. Great days.

MacDaddy Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 saw them twice in 88 - Monsters of Rock and Wembley Arena - then a bit of a gap until seeing them at Twickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttitudeCastle Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Going for a minor snoop soon as i suspect they are still in Aberdeen, and i know they are golf fans, and this place is known for it's courses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
