Definitely Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. I actually saw Maiden play in Vancouver on this tour when I was in year 12. It was a great stage show and awesome gig with a full house at the PNE Coliseum, kinda like the Tennis Centre in Melbourne.

I forgot another minor detail - Guns n Roses were the support band and I thought they were terrible. All I can remember of their set was the shocking sound. It was not long after Appetite for Destruction really started to take off.

Hey look, PIV's back! I though we lost you in the transition buddy. Where you been?

And to join in the converstion at hand -
SSoaSS, Justice for All and Keeper of the Seven Keys are about the only albums that I know I've really listened to from 1988, so they count. I'm sure there's others, but I can't think of them at the moment.

I've been pretty busy lately with work and since I don't have access to the Net anywhere but work I haven't been on. I only realised everything had moved about two weeks ago.
One day I might actually get a computer and net access at home!
So what's been happening in the world of Maiden Downunder BBers?
I've been working on writing new stuff with PIV and we've just done a new demo which should be ready soon. Other than that I've been going out and seeing a few bands and having a quiet drink now and again and that's about it. I'm going overseas in July, to Vancouver Canada to see my brother and mum for the first time in eight years which will be good.
I'm currently looking for another place to live which is always fun - unless anyone knows someone who wants to share a 2 bedroom unit in Camberwell. Maiden fans welcome!

Iron Maiden: Seventh Son

Motorhead : No Remorse
Poison Open up & say ahh...
Preist : Ram It Down
Bon Jovi : New Jeresy.
Def Leppard : Hystria this could have been late 1987
