I'm impressed Goose, you totally rock!!! I'll see you down the front at The SECC if you're planning on catching the Glasgow show.

This will be another totally sensational concert and I'm not sure how much the tickets will be but probably around £30 or more even but hellsbells that's well worth it just to hear Phantom of the Opera live, which they better play or I'll be wanting my money back hoho.

Think it's Trivium for support - crikey I'll need to remember and take some earplugs with me to drown them out. Why could it not be someone amazing like Diamond Head or Blitzkrieg!!!!! Well, I've only heard a handful of Trivium songs and I didn't actually hate them but they didn't exactly get my juices going, so will give them another listen a few weeks before the concert.

 

[Blitzkrieg2006]

more money !!! lol
its very tempting indeed

 

[Metal_Head_666]

Im gunna go to the Earls court gig, it's looking likely that there will be another gig at earls court on the 23rd aswell which will be awesome

Trivium it is Princess but I'd rather have a full set from SAXON to poen the show

As it stands now I think I'll be doing Newcastle & Sheffield as I'll only be there for about 5 days and need time to travel to and from and TRY to get some sleep I haven't made any plans yet as far as booking a flight but who knows? I'd like to catch the Glasgow gig too

Shame Earls Court is such a shite venue. I know it hold a big capacity but sometime's playing a 4 or 5 nights at a smaller venue must be better, think of the fans and the sound for once !

Goose, I guess seeing bands like Maiden in their US heyday you are used to the "Enormodomes" of the states but if I can recommend a venue for size but intamacy in the UK I would recommend the Cardiff NIA ! The whole layout of the arena means with a standing ticket you have a great view from anywhere. It's also right in the heart of the city so a few beers and cheap hotels are easily located. Trust me when I say this is from my own gig goers perspective, F.Y.I. my nearest venues are generally London and I have and will go to Cardiff ahead of London Wembley Arena and Earls Court. (Adding 200 miles to my journey and its worth it!)

Finally you can get good, cheap internal flights via Easy Jet et al from Bristol Airport certainly to Glasgow and Newcastle.

Hope this helps buddy, may even see you in Cardiff ! :Smokin:

Princess, please give Trivium a go, they are one of a very few "NEW" bands I have taken to, it's depressing the lack of new good bands. Trivium are the "BASTARD OFFSPRING OF MAIDEN AND METALLICA!" i.e. the good bits

Fingers, thanks for the info I wouldn't say I'm used to seeing Maiden in huge arenas (Powerslave, POM, SSOASS tours) I've also seen them play Madison Square Garden several times (20,000 seats I'd say) i've seen them play smaller halls like Radio city Music Hall,the Hammerstein Ballroom and Roseland Ballroom in NYC to a small club here in New Jersey called The Birch Hill Night Club that holds about 500 people:zombie: Maiden toured there with Blaze for X-Factor which was about as intimate a gig as you'll ever find

i'm going to see what's what about flying over as I'd LOVE to see them there because let's face it........the crowds overseas are ALOT better then those here.

I also heard a rumor of several US dates here in Jan. with Madison Square Garden being one of them along with the Continental Airlines Arena which is only 15 mins from my house.

Ok Fingers, I will give them another wee listen. Someone did recommend them to me a wee while ago and I downloaded about 4 songs, can't remember what they were called but one was definitely called A Gunshot To The Head of Trepidation (or something along those lines), I think that one was alright but I couldn't have liked them that much cos they're not in my downloading bay anymore so I must have deleted them. Can you name me a couple of their better songs and I'll see what I think of them.

 

[Bosnian Witchfinder]

its actuall clever of maiden to have bands like trivium and funeral for a freind,
because even though the latter is shit, they are spreading their influence to people who like other stuff, whereas if they had another old heavy metal band supporting 99% of people would already like them.

Still, i would rather see old heavy metal bands supporting them.

 

[princess_of_the_night2112]

Oh FFS are FFAF gonny be there as well. Bloody hell I loathe those twats.

Well the thing is I'd much prefer to have any NWOBHM band there, that being my favourite genre of music, someone like obvioously the mighty Saxon, Diamond Head or Blitzkrieg or Mantis, Girlschool any band along those lines would be stonking but cos I want to be right at the front for Maiden, I'll need to get there early to make sure I get right down the front, so I'm going to have to suffer Trivium's full set and I still haven't heard much of their stuff, but I just know they will be tripe.

You know something, sometimes I wish bands would just tour themselves and forget all about support bands if they are just a pile of dross and I'm not talking about Trivium here but I've seen lots of shitey support bands over the years and some of them have made me feel physically sick. And that's what was brilliant in October there when we saw Saxon cos the support band never appeared and it was just Saxon and that was superb cos that was all I wanted to see.

And this is what is tremendous about this up and coming Saxon tour cos they have at least put on another fantastic band on the bill, Blitzkrieg and obviously Girlschool for Wolverhampton - I swear, I couldn't have picked 2 better bands to support Saxon. It'll be phenomenal and even if you don't rate Blitzkrieg and Girlschool as highly as I do, once you see them live, I'm pretty sure they will rock you to the core.

'Kin great venue. I saw Blackfoot there last year. Great atmosphere (it's run by the Outlaws), but can get a wee bit muddy !!!!!
