Iron Maiden to The Netherlands

[phkza]

From ANP:

DELFT - De legendarische rockband Iron Maiden sluit zijn wereldtournee op zaterdag 16 augustus af op het TT Circuit in Assen. Dat maakte concertorganisator Mojo woensdag bekend.

Does this mean we can expect that very colourful Boeing 757? I hope it'll come to AMS, but GRQ would also be an option I guess...

Assen - Groningen Airport Eelde is only some 20 kilometers or so, makes more sense than going to Amsterdam!

[Richard from Rotterdam]

Depending on their schedule I think these guys would rather go and party in Amsterdam than in Assen or Groningen...

My guess would me AMS.

would be nice they come with the ED FORCE ONE

ED stay for Eddie mascotte from Iron Maiden

headbangen
Headbangen is het vrij heftig bewegen van het hoofd op de maat van de muziek. Deze soort 'dans' komt vooral voor bij metal en hardrock. Door het ritmisch meebewegen op de muziek, kan men in een soort trance komen waarin men opgaat in de muziek. Het headbangen wordt vooral uitgevoerd bij concerten. en in mijn auto als we naar vliegshows gaan

666 the number off the Beast

and that's their flight no. as well...

Looking at Bruce Air (on their site), they will fly to Hamburg, which is not too far away for some of us....

Their first concert in the Netherlands (correct me if I'm wrong):

5 oktober 1980 as support act of Kiss
Groenoordhal, Leiden

Yes, I was present only 13 years old!

In april 1981 they were touring again (Killer world tour) with their own support act, while playing in the stadsgehoorzaal in Leiden!

But...back to topic...

[Polecat]

well it's not a lot off topic.. after all Bruce Dickinson used to be a spotter

Allright, but I have see them only playing with Paul Di'Anno, performing the lead vocals...

[Polecat]

auch....that hurts....
Good that you gotta chance to set that straight now... LOL

One wonders how normal holiday-makers react when they see G-OJIB's tail markings

[Een echte spotter]

well it's not a lot off topic.. after all Bruce Dickinson used to be a spotter

He's a hardcore TRAINspotter! Did a tv show once for the Discovery channel about trainspotting....

[TNCB]

Wow, that would be great if they came here!

Bruce, if you read this, PLEASE come to Groningen

[Polecat]

He's a hardcore TRAINspotter! Did a tv show once for the Discovery channel about trainspotting....

didn't know that but I know that as a young boy he was a plane-spotter and he's still a regular IAT visitor as well as a vivid supporter for the Vulcan Trust...
So the fire probably is still burning a bit .....

Bruce:

They stayed in Groningen in 2003, visiting Eelde with a Gold Air Learjet 45
