I'm gonna see Iron Maiden on the 4th.
Has anyone seen them lately?Do they still kick bellybutton as they should?
My buddy told me on this tour they play mostly their older songs..I sure hope so,can't wait to see Hallowed Be Thy Name,Aces High,Phantom of the Opera..etc. live

Oooh, I used to listen to Iron Maiden in the early 80s.  My favourites then were Flight of Icarus, Run to the Hills, The Prisoner... can't remember many more!

Hope you enjoy the gig! :)

Saw them a about a year ago, they sounded the same as 15 years ago.  It was a small venue, about 3000 people.

Bruce has short hair now, all the others still have their long hair.

Even saw Eddie!  :)

Sounds cool..but I'd rather see some more older stuff instead of those new songs..
I hope they play 22 Acacia Avenue here as well..I love songs about hookers and handsomehunk' who fall in love with them.

I still think Powerslave is their best album.  I saw that tour in '85 and sat 14th row on the floor, center aisle.  Besides, "Lossferwords (Big Orah)" is the best blow your speakers song in the world!!! Hehehehe...

Last time I saw them was Piece Of Mind tour.

Who is still with the band?  I'm not sure they can be the same w/out Adrian Smith.  Is Bruce still singing?

Bruce and Adrian are still in the band. It's still the same members since #of the beast, with an additional guitaris Janick Gers.

If you liked Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind and Powerslave you will like thier new stuff. Do youself a favor and go download "The Wicker Man". They are as good as ever .

Adrian Smith quit Maiden years ago.  I am guessing you mean Dave Murray.  So Bruce is still doing vocals and I'd also guess Steve Harris is still rattling away on bass.  I preferred Adrian's leads and he wrote Icarus, 2-mins and a lot of the other "hits."

Wife called me this morning letting me know tix for Maiden/Dio go on sale this Saturday.  Tempting.

Did a search trying to figure out just who is in the band.  THis MTV site has a picture with what looks like Adrian Smith on the far right and what leads me to believe Adrian Smith is back and so they now have three guitarists.  Hmmm.

Correct, Adrian did return to the band a while back and IM has 3 (yes, count 'em) 3 guitarists.

Saw them last night.  They were great! 

The opening act was Steve Harris' daughter Lauren.
