    I was at this concert, it was a festival and Rollins Band was playing the same day Iron Maiden was ! This was funny but actually the Rollins Band was well received. I remember them having technical issues with the guitar and played the first song without guitar and then we had to wait while they fixed it !

      Iron Maiden fans are sweet and cuddly compared to Slayer fans. Now Slayer fans will strike fear in the most hardened person.

      The story in this video being inacurate makes it not funny at all now. Now it's just making up a story and bashing Maiden and their fans for no reason, painting them in a bad light for everyone. The flight of icarus had some humor (basically putting Bruce in the role of a dumb surferbro), but it was also just rediculing Bruce

      Yes, but consider who it came from. Henry Rollins is a colossal douche bag. He’s the most pretentious ass there is. Always pretending he’s some kind of academic. He should be up there apologizing for that sideshow ( Black Flag ) of a band he had. My god they were fucking awful!

Saw Sabbath this winter...the opening band came on...Rival Sons....who are fantastic....all the shitheads around me were screaming for Sabbath and booing...again, as if Rival Sons were keeping Sabbath off the stage. Granted, Maiden fans are pretty fanatical, lol

      How do you mean? THat everyone was receptive of Rival Sons at your show, or that RIval Sons sucked? I saw the second night at Madison Square garden this winter....in my area, about half the crowd was crowing for Sabbath as soon as the Sons started. Personally, I haven't seen the same at any Maiden show I've ever been to.....they have all had pretty solid opening acts that people anticipated greatly.

      Re: Bruce.
      Not Qantas. Never Qantas.
      He's flown for Astraeus and Cardiff Aviation.
      You might have him confused with John Travolta, who was trained by them and owns several ex-Qantas aircraft, but again, has never flown for them. He is their international goodwill ambassador though.

      Deli Cheese I see what you're saying. But just from what the interviews I've seen of a good amount of bands it's usually true. Dio was a sweet man and Dead was well, dead and probably too into his image or something.
