Since you mentioned me I'll chime in. The thing is I can't really comment on new Maiden. I"m guessing you might remember a post of mine a few years back about a show I went to that had Halford opening for Maiden back in 2000. I mentioned that Bruce went on an anti-gay rant and all I could think of during is Rob backstage maybe hearing this shit. Never liked Bruce Dickenson since. Some here doubted that happened but I can say in all sincerity that I've never lied about anything on here. I've been wrong or mistaken but never lied. It's been 15 years since that happened and I still refuse to purchase, listen to, or acknowledge anything Iron Maiden because of it. Also (and on a different note) ... @ JD specifically, sign up for facebook. Just do it for the Saxon page. I know what you think of them and I'm telling you you would love it. The band is always on there and constantly interacting and posting. I went to the Pittsburgh show last week. I am not saying this for you I'm being serious. I was totally amazed at just how good they were. It had to be close to as good as their early days. They said they haven't played Pittsburgh since 83' so that helps explain why I've never seen them. After the show I was bummed I've never seen them before especially in their prime. They concentrated on three albums(my favorites) for the most part but did play other stuff. Crusader, Battering Ram(new), and others. Biff took a video from the stage to post on facebook. My wife is on it but you have to know where and hit pause to see her but it was still cool. She took some awesome videos for me. I'll post 2 or 3 of them here for you. She got a drumstick and I got a guitar pick. They didn't throw much out so both of us getting something was cool. Probably not the answer to your question but you ask me so...?? Anyway, take care!
