^heh. Että ihan legendaarista. No hyvä, että kelpaa. Noissa tommosissa lehtijutuissa on vaan se ikävää, että merkkimäärä on usein rajoitettu ja muutenkin pitää tyytyä kirjoittamaan melkoisen pintapuolisesti.
Eilisessä eli maanantaisessa Hesarissa jäätävä Jarkko Jokelainen kirjoitteli Ruisrock-artikkeliinsa seuraavaa:
Mustaan, nahkaan, niittirannekkeisiin ja Iron Maiden -paitoihin pukeutunutta heviyleisöä näyttää tänä kesänä riittävän joka paikkaan. Ja ennen kaikkea Teräsbetonin keikoille.
Että siltä pohjalta. Kuka ei ole vielä tänä kesänä ollut Maiden-paita päällä Teräsbetonin keikalla, käsi ylös!
^ Alkaa nähtävästi Maiden olemaan verrattavissa Teräsbetoniin. Naurettavuus?
Ei ehkä se paras imago Maiden-diggarille, mutta onko noista imagojutuista ennenkään välitetty?

Kopotikopoti - Suuri Soturi Lappis Lappalainen Underground-maasta ratsastaa lohikäärmeellä peitsi tanassa Eurajoen metsiin ja lyö tikarinsa suoraan pahaa aavistamattomaan Keinos Perttiin (ja vielä takaa päin) juuri, kun Sadan Päämies Keinonen on gutguttamassa neljän (yuffie666, Charlotte, irongirl ja maidenlady) orjattarensa irookeseiksi ajettuja kirkkoveneitä. Verta vuotaen Keinonen kääntyy ja ottaa miekkansa ja kilpensä samalla Lappikselta kysyen: "Sinä, itse saatana, laitoit samaan lauseeseen Maidenin, Teräsbetonin ja naurettavuuden, meni vähän ohi, selvennä tai kuole!"
GTI-magazinen uusimman numeron muovien sisältä löytyy myös HOT-magazinen toinen numero. Tällä hetkellä tuo HOT-magazine ei kaiketi toimi kuin GTI:n lisälehtenä silloin tällöin, ja niimpä ei sen sisältökään mitään kovin kehuttavaa ole ollut... No vähäpukeisia pimuja, autoja, prätkiä, kaikenmailman testejä jne. kyllähän tuota ihan mileliisti selailee, ja tulipa tästä kakkos numerosta ihan luettuakin yksi juttu, meinaan Maidenista.
Sivun mittainen juttu jossa on listattu "yhdeksän asiaa, jotka jokaisen pitää tietää yhdestä kaikkien aikojen parhaasta hevibändistä". Jutun loppupuolelta löytyy myös pieni arvostelu Maidenin live levyistä.

Ajattelinkin että koska mies pyörähtää paikalle. Hienon jutun kyllä kirjoitit lehteen, loistava oli meno ja eikös se hieman pidäkin olla ahdasta. Oikeasti kyllä odotin hurjempaa infernaalista kaaosta siellä eturivissä mutta olihan siellä meno katossa nytkin. Tosin encorebiisien aikana jouduin luopumaan aitapaikasta.

Mielessä kävi myöskin jonkinlainen hullu idea adressin (ei ehkä oikea sana) tapaisen mailin lähettämisestä Radio Citylle, jossa Suomen Iron Maiden Fanit ry kiittäisi loistavasta musiikkitarjonnasta ja toivoisi kohteliaasti vielä lisää Maidenia eetteriin!

Eikös aina ne parhaat musiikilliset ideat synny tuolloin?
Itellä ainakin kun on putki päällä, niin vidulis kun tulee hyvä riffi päähän.
tuosta keinosen linkista kun selailin niin siellä imbb:lla joku kirjoitti että 17.8. tulee englannissa joku Maidenin spesiaali julkaisu puttiikkeihin-siis lehti.

"Steve Harris Speaks!
by Shelly Harris
Iron Maiden's founder, Steve Harris, in a portion of a rare in-depth interview, just recently talked in detail to CCR writer Shelly Harris about why the band decided to play on the Ozzfest bill (despite otherwise being headliners worldwide since 1982) and other current events and musings about that tour and the band's real attitude toward American audiences and venues:
Steve Harris: I think it's [Ozzfest] breaking new ground for us, because we're playing to a lot of new fans, young and old, really. Each night, Bruce [Dickinson, vocalist/frontman] will usually say something like "Put up your hands if you've never seen the band before, " and sometimes it's a third of the audience, or a quarter, and sometimes as much as a half, so we are playing to a lot of people who have never seen us before, which I think is really good. As you know, we have headlined a lot of these shows ourselves, and we could still headline some of them ourselves. But, we think it's a good move, the right thing to do at this point, because I don't think we could actually go any further, or get any bigger over here, unless we did that, you know.
It's not that we're stuck in a rut, because I do think we have a certain amount of hard core fans, no matter what happens over here, but, it's a challenge, it's a good thing for the band, to actually go and try and move forward and get through to some new people, and this is the only way you can do it. You know we don't get radio play over here, or very rarely. It's very difficult because the country is so vast, and the magazine things, you can't really do it through that, really, on a grand scale. So, we really think we're doing the right thing. And I think it's working, because the reactions we've had have been fantastic, and the reviews we've had have been great, I mean it couldn't be any better, really.
It did take us a couple of gigs to get around the fact that it's been a long, long time -- '82 really -- since we've played before anybody else. So, it takes a couple of gigs to get our heads around the fact that we're doing that. Once we settled in, you know, it's been great. Probably Boston, and Camden, and Hartford, I think were kind of tough for us mentally, but once we got into the mode of doing it, and thinking like, Whatever, from then on, the three shows after, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, and DC, and even beyond that, it was just amazing! We were just like, Go for it! Not that we weren't on the first three, but I just think it took us a little while to settle down, really.
If I'm totally honest, the first couple of gigs, I was really unsure if it was the right decision, but once we sorted problems with the sound and this and that, those kinds of things, then if felt more comfortable, and it felt like the right thing to do. We wouldn't have done it if we would only be doing 40 - 45 minutes, but, we've been getting an hour, which I think is pretty good, and it's a prime spot -- around 8 to 9 O' Clock -- and there's been a few shows where Ozzy hasn't been able to do the shows because he's been ill or whatever, and we've been playing a longer set. So, it's almost like a headline set, in a way, baring about two or three songs, and they don't want to kind of let us play too long, so, we do about an hour and half if we do headline it, so that's a good for us, as well. The thing is, we still have about six different backdrops, and a walk-on Eddie, and show tape, and scrims in front of the speakers, and we've got the walkway bits where Bruce goes on, so we've got a lot of the things we would use in a headlining set. There's only about three of four backdrops missing, and the big Eddie at the end that's missing, because we don't really have the time to get that in there, so there's not a great deal of difference, really. So, I think we're kind of in a no lose situation, in a way; all around, really it's a win-win situation, I think.
The audiences, I think, are spread between quite a good cross-section of people; there's some to see us, there's some to see Sabbath, and I think there's some to see the younger bands on some of the other stages. But, overall, there's sometimes between 25 and 50 percent of people who haven't seen us before. That's also the reason why we're doing the Reading and Leeds festivals back home, because they're not the usual sort of metal-type festivals; you get lots of different types of bands there. So, again, that's a similar idea, that we can play to some new people, and maybe nick some new fans that normally wouldn't come and see us, you know.
We know what these gigs are like, we've played these kinds of gigs before. But, the worst thing for us, really, the hardest thing for us, and also the thing that took the longest time for us to get our heads around, was obviously, it's under no control of ours, at Ozzfest or whatever festa it is, is that we don't have the say that we'd normally have as when we're headliners ourselves. And it's always been a bugbear with us, with playing in the States, anyway, the [seating arrangements of] the people down the front, because of the ticket arrangements. And I think if we come back in the future, and headline stuff, I think we're going to really have to try and change it, because, you know, it's really difficult playing to those people down in the front, because those are the ones we'd normally feed off of or whatever. But, the hard-core fans, or most of the ones that are really into it, are the ones that are sort of further or way back. And the ones down front, with the more expensive tickets, they are either there to see Sabbath, or they're there just because they've got the money to be there -- I don't really know why they're there, half of them! But a lot of them don't really show a great deal of interest in what we're doing, or even Sabbath, come to that.
So, it's very bizarre, and it's a very awkward situation, because we feed off the front audience, and, obviously, you can only see so far back, anyway. Well, we feed off the overall audience, but really, more than any other band I can think of, we play to the front, and we feed off people singing to the words, and people getting into it or whatever, and they're kind of few and far between. So, you tend to pick out ones that are into it, are into it and play to them, or, if there aren't any, we sort of look over their heads just play to the ones who look like they really want to be there. I gotta be honest, it's not all of 'em, because there are some down front and your can see that they're into it, but, honestly, a lot of 'em look like they want to be able to just get a remote and change us -- that's what it looks like -- like they ought to break out the popcorn! And they sit there looking at us with ... bewilderment, I think, is probably the word -- I don't know!
I know it's tough on a festival bill, because people have been there a long time, and it's hot, or whatever, and I can appreciate all that. But we've played to audiences like that around the world when we're doing the festivals, and we don't get that kind of thing. The difference is, the people down the front at the festivals in Europe and places like that, are there because they want to be there. They get there early, and they get there first, and it's a different situation; it's GA and it's not seated. And that is the biggest problem over here, and I think what would really make all the difference in the world to us, and to the audience too, really, is if we can get the people down the front who deserve and want to be down there.
When Bruce gets angry, it's because of that, because of the ones down the front. Sometimes it kinda gets miscommunicated as if we don't like playing here. We love playing here, we like the country, we like the people here, but we don't like playing to the people down the front who're not really bothered about whether they're there or not! Sometimes, some nights, if he gets really pissed off, I think he [Bruce] goes a little over the top, if I'm honest. We all agree in principle, mainly, with what he's saying, but some nights he just gets so wound up, he goes off, I don't know if he even knows what he's saying, he just gets so angry with the situation. But I can totally relate to that, because we feel angry as well!
We're not playing to the people we want to play to, we're not playing to the people who really want to be down front. It does get you angry, when you've got people down in front, sort of looking like they're bored. Some of them even sit down, and some of them stand there eating Chicken in a Basket, or whatever they're doing, and it's just like, "Why are you here??! Why don't you fuck off, and let someone else come and sit in your place who wants to be there?" Not fuck off completely, there's not a problem with them being at the show, but go sit out in the grass if you want to mellow out and smoke your hash and eat your Chicken in a Basket, and just chill out, if that's what you want. But why are you down in the front? That's bizarre! They have a right to be at the concert, of course they do, but I don't think they should be down in the front...
I don't think it's so much an age thing, as the mindset, and the fact that they're not actually really into the bands -- I don't know! It's not like they're like that just with us and they react differently than Sabbath; they're the same! We've watched it and they're like that with Mudvayne, too, and all the bands. Half of them have season tickets, and it's just "a show" to them; it means nothing to them, other than it's some place to go. It's like going to the theater, going to see a movie. Except they can't switch us off -- we're not going away! But, we sort of feel the same about them -- they're not going away, either. (laughs) I sort of wish I had a remote, sometimes, to actually transport the ones from the back into the front! ... The sheds do tend to be more like that. We've done the sheds for many years, and never has been as bad as it is now, I think. It's a lot worse now; I don't know what's going on, I don't know if it's the organization, I really don't, but it's tough to deal with.
I think if we're going to come back and play the those shed-type gigs, we're got to really talk to these Clear Channel people, and people like that, and try and not have these high ticket prices for people down the front. We've got to try and change it! I don't know how we're gonna change it, but we've gotta do something, we just can't go on like that, because it's not fair on us, and it's not fair to the fans who want to see us. We'll have to try and sort that out up front and try and do something out about that in the future.
It's a difficult situation. But, I mean, where else do you play? It's different if you go indoors in the winter, but, even then, sometimes, it's not GA, and I don't know! I can understand the legal reasons, and they can only have a certain number of people down the front, but we want the people down the front who want to be there to see Maiden, or Sabbath, or whatever, not the people who just came along because it's a rock and roll show, and they have the money, or they know people to be able to buy the tickets at the front. Those people, if they still want to come to the gig, it's fine -- we don't have a problem with them, but those people shouldn't be where they are. That's the thing, that's what pisses us off! (laughs) We're definitely going to be looking into it, that's for damn sure! We want the hard core fans down the front -- and the hard core fans want to be there! -- they don't want to be stuck back there, anyway!
