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.

How great is this!? Saw this commercial on ESPN over the weekend. Man it’s going to be a long 3+ months!

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 to James Taylor - not so much when you want to see Iron Maiden and Alice Cooper.
Years ago we (wife and I) saw the Mighty Mighty Bosstones there (Comcast Arena in Mansfield, MA) and the grass was all torn up and thrown around. I know that Maiden is much more respectable crowd, but still I’m glad I got a seat.
Last time (Somewhere Back in Time) we were closer, I think section 4, but the view of the stage was obstructed. This time we’ll be looking dead on so I am psyched.
I think this the section (or very close to) where we saw Maiden in Ozzfest ‘05. Could see everything fine so I have no complaints.
Long way from $48 4th row in Worceter though.
This will be the 4th time I’ve seen Iron Maiden at the Comcast Center (though I still call it Great Woods from time to time), and the venue is a great place for a summer show.
Now lets just hope the weather cooperates….

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.

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+ mile drive that I will happily be making on Saturday morning.
Saturday morning - when I will have my Iron Maiden tickets in my hand!

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 an apartment where space is limited and I can’t really record late at night like I used to without bothering my wife.
But I can type.
