A new Maiden tour rumour

[Spiff]

Australia was mentioned in the SSOASS tour book too, wasn't it?

 

[Mark]

Yeah, they mentioned Aus/Nz every time they started a tour I personally think (having just come to conclusion), that they need to mention this so that their tour seems extensive, and financial backers (be it the label or Sanctuary board or whoever) are more willing to cover initial costs.

I am, of course, talking out me bum.

 

[Spiff]

Maybe back then they could get away with it because we didn't have the internet and so this sort of news wouldn't be spread around everywhere. Mention Aus/NZ and hey, if they don't tour then chances are most people won't know.

 

[Mark]

Unless you read any metal magazine you can find, like we did (Well... Metal Edge and Kerrang!... :sheepish: )

 

[Spiff]

And Hot Metal, Mr Rockefella!

Hot Metal

Now there's a magazine I haven't heard mentioned in a LOOONG time. Before it become HM even!

SPUD FLOGSOSS - STAGEDIVE SUPERKING!

 

[Mark]

Aye mon, I was a reader from Issue 1 Remember Robyn Dorien? Who then went on to edit Kerrang and, afterwards, Metal Hammer?

Apparently most of the UK metal press hated her (This after talking to Valerie Potter (ex-metal hammer/HM scribe) about her briefly)

 

[Goreripper]

I still have the first 15 issues of Hot Metal.

 

[Goreripper]

This is what the first issue looked like:

It was only 24 pages!

And the back cover looks like this:

How many teenage boys could not buy a mag with that on the cover?

 

[Spiff]

Hmm, I always thought Jimmy Barnes was on the first issue. Guess it must have been number 2, yeah?

 

[Goreripper]

Nope, Jimmy was never on the cover on Hot Metal. Issue 2 was Angus, 3 was Kiss, 4 was Metallica and issue 5 was Poison! METAALLLLLLLLLLLLL!

 

[Spiff]

My brain is more frazzled than I thought.

Wait, his name is at the top of the first issue's cover. I AM VINDICATED!!!

 

[Sydo]

Nice guitar. :Smokedev:

 

[Crabby]

If we didn't agree the first time, why would we the second, third or fourth times?

I think Blitz makes a lot of good points actually.

Mind you,it's a moot point now,eh?

 

[Goreripper]

Nice guitar. :Smokedev:

Yes Sydo, that's what I thought when I first saw that too.

 

[phlogiston]

I was looking at Lita.
