Reading DragonLady’s blog, where she pointed to Bruce Dickinson’s birthday(By the way, I had no idea DragonLady is the wife of my blog friend, Dr J, is this a small world or what?!) I remember again that Maiden is going to visit Romania this year.
Maiden will be in Romania in a few months from now and I have’t yet bought a ticket! Am I an idiot or what? It is the second time Iron Maiden comes to Romania, this time with Bruce Dickinson, the first time it was with Blaze Bayley and I haven’t been to the show either.
Actually this year is pretty mad for Romania’s rock scene. Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, John McLaughlin, Judas Priest, Queensryche, Lenny Kravitz, Linkin Park, Manowar(hail, hail, hail and kill), man this is a long time wish of mine!!!, Nightwish, Testament and Whitesnake, they are all going to be in Romania this year!
Tibi from LostArtOfBlogging.com reminds me of Metallica. Indeed, Metallica too!
I don’t know what happened, seems that this year everybody wants to come to Romania! And I left out big names that are not part of the rock scene, like for ex Alphaville, Leonard Cohen, etc. Last year Alice Cooper and Marilyn Manson were here and created a historical moment singing one song together, after all the world (the one that is actually interested) knew they don’t get along well.
Won’t you come to Romania to see them this year?

I thought his birthday was in August; I think you might have clicked on an old post in the archives!

Dr J, you can not imagine my surprise, it never crossed my mind, I went back to DragonLady’s blog and found the news. Damn, you are right, I was so convinced that I have never checked the date! I can not be more of an idiot than I feel right now! By the way, thanks for not letting me an idiot for the rest of this day and the rest of this blog’s life!

How’s this for dad of the year? I’m taking my son and three (or four) of his buddies to Seattle to catch Maiden as a gift for his high school graduation. I’ve seen I.M. five times, and frankly I think they keep re-recording basically the same album over and over nowadays, but my son is a huge Maiden fan, so that’s where I’ll be driving in early June. (It’s about 300 miles from my home.)

Well, I think you’re doing great
I haven’t seen them yet and because I haven’t bought a ticket, I don’t think I can find now. For ex, Metallica tickets are about to be sold out in about 2 days, or so, I have heard a news on the radio yesterday morning. Damn!
