Again a sucky opener for Maiden! The 2005 Gothenburg show was great, with Mastodon and In Flames as openers!

I hope they will bring a guest for the Greek show too. Otherwise it will be too fucking expensive to pay 50 euros just for Iron Maiden...

i can;t really be the judge since i haven't heard a7x, but metalcore and maiden don't mix too well, at least they won't play here.

LOL it's almost obligatory for metal bands (I mean the shit ones that have nothing to do with Maiden's scene) to say Maiden were a huge influence on them. If they have an opening band in Aust. it has to be either Lord or Vanishing Point. Please not I Killed the Prom Queen :-(

In Australia its no better, we have several well known Power Metal bands that would fit as an opener, but no, they select a hardcore band.... what a load of shit fuck! Only Melbourne got a decent band, i think its Vanishing Point.

Account deleted  Iron Maiden are capable of doing so much more . when Number Of The Beast came out, the members ov A7X were probably just being born  .

(i completed only half so dont give spoilers )

why do maiden insist on getting shitty support bands? remember Gamma Ray supported them through mainland europe which got me excited about them coming to Scotland, then they switched them with Funeral For a Friend WTF? Then Trivium now Avenged Sevenfold...embarrassing

Written by Mrshll on 26.01.2008 at 01:14 Okay, that was just stupid Does a band like MAIDEN really need a shitty support act to make them look good? I can understand if Ax7 picked a local metalband consisting of retards to be their support to make them look good ^^

Written by iaberis on 25.01.2008 at 22:13 I would actually pay 50 dollars to see maiden alone if they played in MSG or other NYC venues. They always avoid nyc for some reason.
