What does it say on Steve's T Shirt?

Hey I just noticed that last post has my 333rd post :P

Scott: Why did you run out on me?
Dr. Evil: Because you're not quite evil enough.
Dr. Evil: Well it's true! It's true! You're semi-evil. You're quasi-evil. You're the margarine of evil. You're the Diet Coke of evil. Just one calorie, not evil enough.

This is a long shot, but has anybody got a spare ticket from last night's gig?

I collect me gig tickets, but my mate who ordered these from Maiden's pre sale got the pdf version. Crap

sean corcoran

this was the greatest gig i have ever been to, sweet savage turned out to be alright, whiskey in the jar really got the crowd going, there was a really short (mabye 10 min) which is great cos sometimes it can be over an hour and i caught nickos drumstick

Forest Master

The band were full of energy & effort, as was the crowd. Great atmosphere. I was kinda disappointed with the setlist though - the only song I loved was Number of the Beast - all the rest were average, IMO. I was hoping for Revelations, Mariner, 2 Minutes, The Trooper, Powerslave, Flight of Icarus, Can I Play With Madness, etc.

Should have gone to the last tour so

Really enjoyed this gig. Was near enough to the front and stuck out the crush to get a great spot for the rest of it. Sweet savage were pretty good, but thought the fact they didn't pay tribute to Dio a bit disappointing. Thought Iron Maiden were on fire, Bruce is one hell of a front man!

Anyone see the guy in the pit near the front of the stage, in front of the kit try to start breakdancing and start spasing out a bit?

Also, Steve's t-shirt said "Whales, Oil, Beef, Hookers", what the hell did that mean?

Last night was my first time seeing Iron maiden live and i really enjoyed the gig would of loved to hear Trooper, Run to the hills and a few of the older songs but i sort of knew what songs to expect.

Remeber near the end Bruce was talking to the crowd and he looked down and Siad to somone 'Are you alrite'

Anyone knw what happend.

I was sitting in Block C good view but a few drunken idiots around that kept going in and out.

Hopefully a show in The o2 or the Aviva Stadium in 2011 or 2012

Lemmy Scott

Thought it was a great show my personal favourites were wrathchild,number of the beast and hallowed be thy name.
Steve Harris was outstanding murray and smith were boring gers and dickinson were great.
I heard people moaning about set list but if you done your research you knew every song they were gonna do
well done maiden see ya next time;)

My first time at an Iron Maiden gig (and indeed first time at the o2).

I have to say I enjoyed it a lot. The sound wasn't mighty, but it didn't interfere too much for a great gig.

Didn't see much of Sweet Savage, as was late leaving Fibbers - arrived in while they played Whiskey in the Jar.

As an aside, the o2 is a great venue, much better than I remember when it was the Point. The queueing system they had for the toilets and bars seemed to work OK.

Up the Irons!

Loved the gig, "Dance of Death" was my particular favourite.
In 1989, when I was 17 years old I was lucky enough to meet Nicko when he did a signing session in Waltons, followed by a drumming exhibition in the SFX for Paiste cymbals.
My mate and I even blagged our way into his party at Barrys Hotel at the end of the night.
I spoke to Nicko for 10 mins and enjoyed the free drink. He was absolutely sound and given Maiden had not long finished the seventh son tour and were probably the biggest band in the world, he was very down to earth.
I'll never forget that night, nor the 6 Maiden shows I've seen since.
Up the Irons!

I saw that same incident too. I was standing next to the sound desk too. was it during Running Free? If so it must have been the same incident. That bloke was a dick. Not only did he knock over the woman, he stuck around egging on some of her friends to fight him too after wards. It was only when security came over and marched him away did he calm down. Ah well, you always get one asshole.

This happened quite early on (during El Dorado). Yeah, there's always someone who has to ruin things for other people.

Anyway, apart from that it was a great gig!

Aye I saw that, thought he was having a fit or something then he got up. Was mad at the front, never had so much fun at a gig.

Well, the second time he did it, I really did think he was having a fit until his arms took the position of the air guitar and he got up and then started rocking out. He was a prat though. When he first did it, he took out three people when he went down. Why the fuck would you want to do that in the middle of a moshpit?

I also had to had to laugh at one of the guys my friends were talking to before Sweet Savage who said he had seen the original Guns 'N' Roses play. He was then asked what age he was and said he was 17 . There were some amount of jokers at that gig.

Got soaked as well. Was going in for most of the pits, but decided to stay out when I saw the spasing/breakdancing and flailing arms guys.

Enjoyed the gig, was up near the front only lasted about 40 mins in the moshpit during Maiden as it was too hard to stay on my feet and get mushed by everyone, scary stuff - I'm only little

Watched the rest of the gig near the back, and thought they put on a great show!

Steves shirt said WHALE-OIL-BEEF-HOOKED. Its a play with words as far as I know.If said quickly, it sounds like WELL I'LL BE F****D! Get it? ha ha ha.
Also, what a gig.Got up near the front,abt 10 rows back. When Maiden came on and the crowd went mental,the gf got an elbow in the face,so she was pretty much out on her feet,so had to get her outta there.We went over to the left,and after a little while,who did I see only Ray Haller from Sweet Savage,standing behind us watching the gig,totally oblivious to everyone.:cool:Went over,had a little chat,took a pic of him with my gf. Everything happens for a reason eh?

What a gig, loved every second of it. Really impressed with how the new tune sounded live.

Also love the version of Doctor Doctor that came on just before maiden hit the stage. Had a cheeky smile on my face as its one of my guilty pleasures.

I've just about recovered from the concert,have to say was very disappointed with the sound quality,saw Pearl Jam in the 02 a couple of weeks back and the sound was really good,so had high expections of Maiden,but besides that it was an AMAZING gig....they played Fear of the Dark which is one song I've always wanted to experience live and big thanks to all the people in earlier posts who recommended Fibber's off O'Connell st for drinks after the concert,we had a ball there!!
