Iron Maiden Forgets About The Entire Southern and Southeast United States

[Dead Skin Gringo]

Get Iron Maiden To Play The Last Seven Dates of Ozzfest

 

[Jean-Pierre]

It pissed me off SO MUCH when they toured with Dio and Motorhead and went everywhere BUT Georgia.

 

[Hammer of Might]

BOO HOO.

I feel for Australia...if anyone.

 

[Christie_fell]

Last year touring the US? What the hell?

 

[Nico]

BOO HOO.

I feel for Australia...if anyone.

Damn straight, but we're getting Kreator and Priest later this year, so I'm happy to wait a few more years for Maiden.

 

[Master_Debater]

To be fair, these parts of the U.S. SUCK.

 

[J.]

Maiden must be scared to come to Texas. Pussies.

 

[Melodeath]

Hell yeah. I hate the south.

IRON MAIDEN's "Eddie Rips Up… Europe/North America - Summer 2005 Tour" has already had tremendous on-sale reactions in Europe, with tickets for their massive show in Gothenburg's Ullevi Stadim on July 9 recently selling out all 53,500 in just 2½ hours — the second fastest sell-out ever in Sweden’s biggest venue after BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN!

Tickets for their show at Helsinki's Hartwell Arena on July 6 and 7 went the same way with 22,000 tickets selling out in a day.

Comments singer Bruce Dickinson, "We've always had great support there before but this is stepping up another level entirely.

This whole tour will be one of the biggest we have ever done in terms in the number of fans we are playing to and if the reaction continues like this, every show will be a truly momentous occasion.

"Following the great reception received by our DVD 'The Early Days', which chronicled the MAIDEN story over the first four albums, we decided to give the fans a special treat on this tour by playing materiel almost exclusively from these albums, including a lot of songs that fans have been asking us to play for years along with fan favourites like 'Number of the Beast', 'Run to the Hills', 'Hallowed be thy Name', 'Wrathchild' and 'The Trooper'. And it will be a lot of fun for us playing stuff we haven't played for years!!

"In keeping with this, we will be bringing over for Ozzfest the full European show, naturally including as special guest Eddie in various appropriate guises!! The stage sets, production and backdrops will recreate aspects of the shows on the tours around those albums — 'Iron Maiden', 'Killers', 'Number of the Beast' and 'Piece of Mind'. Only bigger, much bigger!!! We don't know if anyone has done anything like this before but we think it's something the fans will really appreciate both in the choice of songs and in the production values.

"Unfortunately, we are unable to complete the full Ozzfest schedule as we were already confirmed to headline some major British festivals in that period, so apologies to fans in Texas and the Southeast. Having said that we are very much looking forward to the dates we are doing, especially with such a great bill. We're sure it will be a fantastic day out for the fans."

Yup

[StoneImmaculate]

[AjDeath]

[Alkoholiker]

BOO HOO.

I was about to say that...dammit we need Maiden to tour here.

 

[Nihilism]

The south has more of the talented metal bands in the US. Pffft.

wtf. get out

 

[Brother Jim]

already confirmed to headline some major British festivals in that period

Those major British festivals that they mention are the reading and leeds festivals, which SUCK ASS! And if I went to them would cost the shirt of my back as well as an arm & leg, especially once you include all the hidden costs, food, beer (it will be carling as they are the sponsers & carling tastes RANCID) and the cost to get there in the first place, So no maiden for me either as this will be the only dates they are playing in britain. I think they should have finished their Ozz-fest comitments, then done a PROPER european tour.

I guess that means some of you better start driving in advanced. Make sure you have gas money and check your oil first.
