Bucko - yeah Maiden Australia was Matt.

I probably should have taken every name from April 2001 and pasted it in here because not everyone signed up in the first 2 or 3 days, I guess!

Mark,
what's happened to skunk ?

After casting the BDBB adrift, we've not heard hide nor hair of her.

Cheers Tim

Oh man am i out of the loop.

I thought UM was a mega comglomerate American based forum, didnt know it mainly started in Aus. Jeez i have no clue whats going on.

This site kicks ass

Well, I think it was started by a Kiwi who moved to Australia while he was living in England and then sold off to an American, so you're not *that* far off.

I believe Skunk is an admin on the official Maiden BB.

Well, I started Um *before* I moved to the UK, but the rest is about right

I completely forgot about Maiden Central. Another site that I came up with the name for. I'm so cool.

Annoyed that Temple of Rock, which pretty much launched Blaze's solo career (I like to think he was drowning his sorrows after his Maiden gig ended until he found out about the site and decided to finally get out of bed and do something with his life), was never thanked in Silicon Messiah... but I did receive an email from him, and when I announced I was closing the site he thanked me again in a forum post. So that's something.

I have been pretty much since the UM inception, not too far behind, can't believe it is 6 bloody years

Stop revising my history, dammit!

History is always written by the winners Phloggy, and that isn't you.

But anyway, here are the flyers I was talking about.

The official one we were given:

And the one MD had printed up:

And while I'm at it, here's the total advertising that I saw for the FOTD tour.

Actually, that's possibly a lie. I may recall seeing a tiny little newspaper ad somewhere as well. I bet I've still got it somewhere...yep! It's the same as that, only more squashed and says "ON SALE TOMORROW" on it. So there you go.

Invisible Boy is my buddy Phil from Geelong! He'll be at Maiden with me.
*I think I remember his password too*
