Sad news indeed - R.I.P. Clive

Kess73

Only just found out as I was reading this thread.


A fantastic drummer and by all accounts a really good guy as well.



Have just popped on Maiden Japan to enjoy how damn good he was live and will be following it up with the Beast Over Hammersmith live album .

RIP Clive Burr.

You've got to love Google translate. In an interview translated from Swedish, Bruce Dickinson was apparently known as the "human flight alarm". Sounds much better than the 'air raid siren' don't you think?

(boring business type interview by the way but there is a mention of a possible 2014 album mentioned at the end)

I got to admit that Mr ‘arris’s ability to sell stuff tofans that we already have is sometimes annoying


SIX !!! Greatest hits compilations for example!!!


Well he got me !!!


Check out the pix attached


Had to go into the attic – I haven’t actually held a VHS inyears !!!!!

The thing is no one is forcing anyone to buy anything. Ok so they have loads of greatest hits compilations and a new live album/DVD seems to come out after every tour these days but you don't have to buy them if you don't want to.

There probably are a few who want to collect everything in every format but if they do, they probably have bigger problems.

No doubt – my post was meant in a tongue in cheek fashion !!


I bought the last 8 DVD’s and thoroughly enjoyed them all


But they are too many greatest hits and live CD’s


But hey Steve Harris is a business man and if people willbuy product that he releases then more power to him !!

Exactly. If fans turned their noses up at the regular releases the band and record label would get the message but Maiden have a very loyal following
and whilst they continue to buy up every new release in large numbers they'll continue to churn it out.

Maiden in particular seem to have a large contingent of collector fans who will seek out every rarity for the sole purpose of collecting it. They've driven the market for a long time. Can't blame the band for trying to satisfy the market.

With an abundance of palm trees, golf courses and restaurants, the city of Boca Raton, Fla. is best known as a haven for retirees. However, if you’re, say, the son of famous heavy metal drummer, you may find life there a little taxing, and look for other ways to occupy your time – such as crime. Justin McBrain, son of Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain, was picked up by the Palm Beach County Sherriff’s Office on Friday (April 26) for alleged burglary and theft.

According to Boca News Now, the 20-year old McBrain knocked on a West Boca home and, when the homeowner opened the door, pushed his way in. While the woman called the police, he grabbed some items from her purse, including a half-eaten chocolate bunny, some cosmetics, a belly ring, a freezer pack and half an orange, which he ate.

McBrain was arrested shortly thereafter and charged with burglarizing an occupied dwelling and 2nd degree petit theft. At press time, he was being held on $25,000 bond.

This is the second occurence of recent legal troubles for the McBrain family. Two weeks ago, we reported that Nicko’s wife, Rebecca, will appear before a judge in May as a result of an incident in February. She is alleged to have committed domestic battery by attempting to stab a man (who may or may not have been Nicko) in their home and then throwing logs at him.

Funny that folk were talking about Maiden pushing out product to make money.

300,000 pints pre-ordered and the brewery didn't have to spend a penny on advertising.

Yeah the demand seems to be massive for it. Seems it is the first time that brewery has had to put on extra shifts in order to ensure enough gets made to meet demand.

I had a quick look at ordering some. Just out of interest as having lived in England for a few years, I'm not a fan of their ales and bitters. Anyway, when you add in postage
to Ireland it was about £30 for 8 bottles.

I'd say you won't see it in any pubs in London. Most breweries in Britain are fairly regional and only sell their beers in their own pubs and I think this Robinson crowd are based up north and in Wales. However as it's Maiden and they're a London band, they might have something in place. An off-licence for a few bottles would be your best bet I'd say.

English real ale is fairly manky as well in my opinion so I wouldn't be holding out too much hope for it.

Contact the brewery, http://www.robinsonsbrewery.com/ ask them which pubs in the London area are stocking it.

Iron Maiden's new beer won't be on sale in Sweden's state owned liquor store monopoly. The label on the bottle breaks the regulations.

What was the final cost by the way, including postage? We'll be expecting a full review when you get it. Are you an ale drinker anyway?

So I was at the Lisbon gig on Wednesday night and although the removal of Still Life from the original Maiden England setlist was a disappointment for me, it's still pretty strong and the show itself is up to Maiden's usual high standards, including lots of pyro and a couple of Eddie appearances. The Portuguese are a LOUD audience, too, really adding to the occasion. It's a real shame they aren't bringing it to Ireland, but roll on Stockholm in July!!

Maiden will be finishing the Euro leg of the Maiden England tour wit a gig at The O2 in London on Aug 3rd, totally ticketless event to deter touts.

I really think they should play a warm up gig on the Friday night before in the o2 Dublin....nothing else on there that night!

grimm2005

Thinking of going to the London gig myself, just saw them at Download and they were absolutely fantastic, bank holiday weekend as well. Pretty perfect setlist for me really. Also had the trooper beer at Download, very nice I must say, although I'm not a huge ale drinker so can't really compare it to others but it was a hell of a lot better then the tuborg they were serving at the regular bars, but that's not difficult I suppose!

Only Iron Maiden could pull something like this off

'Still Life' is a class song, and I don't know why so many people consider it a weak filler song. My main annoyance is that they never play anything off 'Somewhere in Time' anymore apart from 'Wasted Years' and 'Heaven Can Wait'. It's an awesome album, and I wish they would play 'Somewhere in Time', Sea Madness, Stranger in a Strange Land' and 'Alexander The Great' at least.

Also if anybody is interested I have lots of hi res and super hi res rare Eddie pics, including Derek Riggs unfinished 'Fear of The Dark' and an early version of 'Piece of Mind'.;)

Here you go. It's pretty big at well over 700mb, but they all are high quality images. You might also need to download winrar as well. Let me know what you think.;) Enjoy.:D
