Just got an email from a guy in London. He went to a Deep Purple gig on the weekend, and this is what he has to say:
"One great surprise were the special guests for Smoke on the Water on Saturday night, who
were Bruce Dickinson, Janick Gers and Nicko McBrain from Iron Maiden!! So there
was 2 keyboardists, 2 vocalists, 2 guitarists (Janick and Steve Morse did a great duel
before Smoke started), 2 drummers and Roger all on stage at the same time!!
Janick was a man possessed as per usual, throwing the guitar around his neck and
up into the air and doing his high kicks and poses on the speaker cabinets!! "
He went backstage, and spoke to the Maiden dudes, and Nicko said this to him:
"Nicko said to us that they would be doing a big tour to promote the next
album with should definately include Oz and hopefully NZ as well.
"
Not getting too excited about that, cause he said SHOULD, but thought you's might be inter4ested
