The most up close pictures I've seen thus far, so I noticed that those are some cool looking pickups on Sara’s Stratocaster class guitar; looks like an Lace Drop and Gain, T-150 and a T-100, but they’re probably Duncan’s though; don’t matter they look cool.

Great photos - thanks for sharing!!! Great to see an up close shot of Liz's amazing tattoo.

 

[Lord of Delusions]

Awesome pics!

That shot of Aja blurred in red light looks almost exactly like one of the Live After Death shots of Bruce... Without the snakeskin bra of course LOL

Here's some more pics from the Monday Night gig....Really enjoyed meeting everyone , band and crew alike and really , really enjoyed the show...Linda's viscious on the drums and Sara's plain savage....Wanda definitely holds her own and Liz has the chops that other guitarists wish for....Aja sounded good and can really work the crowd....All in all , one of the memorable shows I'll see in a long time...Now I have to wait forever to see them again....at least they know how to treat the fans....look at the setlist...they actually served BBQ to the crowd before the show.....really!

I had the babyback ribs.

This one reminds me of the pictures on the inside of the album Song Remains the Same concert by Led Zeppelin because of the color mix. I don’t know if anyone else ever had that album, but it took me away when it came out:

Liz looks as if she is flinging a pick like a throwing star in this one. Either that or Sara ran out of picks.

I've never seen them use an entirely handwritten setlist before. Maybe they don't have access to a printer on the road.

Great shots!

Did it hurt much when Wanda was standing on your head in that last one?

Jim

Oh yeah...she's pure evil...kept yelling "Die Texas scum!" over and over as she grinded the heel of her Reeboks into my forehead.......

Here's another pic of the Maidens with some scary looking old guy......

 

[spideyjg]

New shirts???????

I'll bet Wanda didn't miss a note as she ground your head in.

Jim

 

[Tap_Legion2]

She laughed the laugh of pure E-V-I-L.




The shirts are from the Italian Maiden Fanzine called " Eddies"...I hear that a few pics of the Maidens wearing them will be in their next issue.....with my Powerslave Eddie painting as the cover...woohoo!

So they are paying or giving you full credit for your artwork, right?

Congrats! You do make some awesome paintings.

Jim

BTW is your avatar a post Wanda Reeboks of death stomping self portrait?

 

[nlukes]

Thanks for the great pictures. I especially like the "portrait' shot posted on April 15. Perfect!

 

[Tap_Legion2]

Spidey : Yeah , the Italian guys at "Eddies" are incredible....I get paid what I asked for plus I get full credit and a ton of free shirts !

My avatar is the scarey demonface thingy from The Exorcist....remember?

Speaking of the shirts...here's another shot of The Maidens modeling the finest "Eddiewear" available.....

Does Wanda use flatwounds? That close up looked like it. I know Harris uses them so that's a possibility.

 

[spideyjg]

Yep she runs the Steve Harris SH77 Rotosounds.

I brought her a set of Thomastik Infeld Jazz flats and Superalloys at the Canes show to try on other basses and she gave me some SH77's.

I haven't decided what bass to put them on yet.

[Schmidt_Rubin]

I have an early 70's Gibson EB3 (SG bass) that I converted into a fretless, flatwounds sound great on it. I'll have to try the SH77's.

 

[spideyjg]

I have heard the SH77 are pretty high tension so you may need to tweak your truss rod. Also the gauge is .110, .95, .75, .50.
