I'm going to gigs in Bratislava, Singen-Aach, Dessel (Graspop, really excited to see King Diamond here too!), Lodz, Gdansk, Oberhausen, Malmo, Stockholm, St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Helsinki.Helsinki will be my 41st Maiden gig! I promise the Amsterdam gig will be especially fun - that's this year's Iron Maiden Fan Club trip, where fans can sign up for flights, accommodations, FC-only parties, etc. through the FC at greatly reduced costs. That means there'll be lots of fans from all over the world (Even more so than at any normal Maiden gig!), and the band will really be firing on all cylinders So far Iron Maiden and Duff's new band Walking papers.What Maiden gig?Amsterdam in june.Ah, thats a shame - Amsterdam is the last gig before I get to Europe!

That's why it was sold out rather fast. I have shitty seats, but don't mind. Will have fun anyway. Maiden has a very active FC, is Maiden very acctive with that as well? Maiden fans really are a strange breed, like soccerfans, following their team all over the world. I think that's really awesome, not many bands have those loyal followers.

Not quite sure what you're asking But yes, Maiden fans really are unique. No other band gets the sort of fans they do, that spend thousands of dollars or pounds or Euros or whatever to see them every year all over the world. Being part of that is something really special - it's nice to know wherever you're going to see them you'll see plenty of familiar faces and close friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfse Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Kind of wish the cashgrab nostalgia tours would end with Maiden and they could just put out a new album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB. Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Yeah, but is the band also actively involved in the fanclub? Do they arrange things for them as well?That's actually my question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Yeah, but is the band also actively involved in the fanclub? Do they arrange things for them as well?That's actually my question.What, like meet & greet type stuff? Not really, the band are really anti-paying for M&G, VIP, etc. They used to do FC conventions every year and some of the band members would show up to that, but that's about it. On the FC trip to Florida in 2011 Nicko showed up to the FC party, but that's also because it was at his restaurant That was a really cool one though - he did a mini set of Maiden tunes with a few of his friends and they did some rare stuff; Flight Of Icarus, Wasted Years, etc. Nicko stuck around the whole night talking with FC members, signing stuff, etc, and Rod Smallwood (Their manager) was there also...both of them are very nice, talkative, and really care about their fans.A lot of the FC members that do the whole "around the world" thing do get backstage passes at some point though, from getting to know the crew, and they know how dedicated we all are and whatnot. I haven't yet, but maybe this year will be lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all gotta carpool if everything works out, apparently parking for this is $70 per car, but split between a few people wouldn't be bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GivenToFly Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Fuck! The Black Crowes are coming here but I'll be out of the country when they do. Same here.I actually have tickets for 29 and 30 march but something has come up and I have to leave the UK. They're doing a Hard Rock Calling this summer though, so I hope I can catch them there instead.Speaking of which: does anybody want to buy London Black Crowes tickets?
