My First Iron Maiden Dream of the Year
Have you ever felt the future is the past - but you don’t know how?[[MORE]]
I swear this has happened to me for almost every Iron Maiden concert I’ve gone to - but never this early. Last night I had my first pre-concert Iron Maiden dream. They all usually have the same theme - I missed the show.
So I guess it’s more like a nightmare.
This one was weird because I remember...

I Can't Believe "The Number of The Beast" is 30...
I was only 5 years old when this album came out. I was more interested in the Dukes of Hazzard and E.T. at the time. It wasn’t until 7 years later that I became aware of this amazing record. My friend Bill (still keep in touch - he’s going to Maiden this summer) let me borrow his tape - he let me borrow a bunch so I could learn everything I could about Maiden.[[MORE]]

Idol Maiden
In case you’ve never seen this - it’s a guy from Swedish Idol in 2009 doing “Run to the Hills.” Maybe if American Idol had more people doing this kind of music it would be watchable.

Section 13, Row F, Seats 31-33
Well, I got my tickets! I will be seeing Iron Maiden for the 8th time this summer! As you can see from the seating chart - the tickets aren’t great, but I can’t complain. For the amount of money they cost, I’m just glad I wasn’t stuck out on the lawn.
My orignal plan was to get the best cheap seats possible - but that on the grass in the back. Great when I took the wife...

I Am Not A Number! I am a Free Man!
Now that I’m only two days away from getting my tickets, and snowed in up in New Hampshire with only my cell phone’s 3G signal giving me enough Internet to write this post - I’ve been doing a lot of reading (comic books and Dave Mustaine’s autobiography) and have been thinking about the concert.
THE concert.
From everything I read, it looks like this summer’s show...

3 Days To Go!
As I type this, I sit in a Starbucks in Tilton, NH, working (even though the WiFi is mighty slow). My wife is on school vacation this week (teacher, not student) so we’re up here at my in-laws house (while there in Floriday).
The snow is falling right now, even though in MA we’ve had barely anything all winter. Since I am up here, the closest Ticketmaster is in Concord, NH - a 20+...

A Brave New World!
Well, let me start off my simply saying one thing. UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!!!!
For those of you that know absolutely nothing about me - I used to host an Iron Maiden Podcast that I called….The Maiden Fan Podcast. By far it is the most successful blog/podcast I’ve ever done and I went ahead and screwed it up by not producing enough shows - and then not producing any shows.
Now, I live in...

Episode 10: Top Ten Songs I Wish I Could See...
In celebration of the ongoing Iron Maiden tour - a tour that sadly didn’t come to the Boston area - this episode is all about songs that I wish Maiden would play live someday (at a concert I am at of course…). I couldn’t decide on just 10, so there is an 11th, and a honorable mention for a song that I’ve only heard once and would love to hear again.
Please let comments and...
