Wow, it was really strange watching The Maidens play Saturday night. My first thought was "Holy shiiyyaaatttttt, this is a KILLer Iron Maiden tribute!" If I didn't know any of them, I would be at the front row of all their shows anyway -- what a great band!
My second thought was "Hey, I can finally watch Linda!" And my third thought was "wow, i never noticed Jojo made a lot of guitar faces when she played".
I thought Wanda did an excellent job and won over the Maiden fans with her bass prowess. The feedback I received from people in the audience was all very positive! go girl!
And I caught a drumstick at my very first Maidens show!!!
I was waiting around for Linda to sign it afterwards, but she was very busy tearing down, and I had a bunch of people waiting for me at Denny's (The Last Chicken Strips(TM) )
I was very pleased to see Hystoria's debut -- I thought they did an awesome job, and it was great to see Wrathchild's VirtualAdrian(TM) back on stage again and our very own Eddie (RJ) clad in Joe Elliot attire and nailing the vocal parts. The rhythm section was very solid, and my bass bud Glenn "Sav" Cannon is hella charismatic on stage.
I missed Downright altogether, unfortunately...
definitely an awesome show! I'm just wondering how I can score a license plate frame without having to attend the Canes show... hehehhehh...
