I'm the proud owner of a video with Bruce Dickinson singing "No More Heroes".

Did a couple of gigs with him a few years ago, and managed to convince the band that we had to do a Stranglers song.
Along with ACDC, Deep Purple, Queen and of course, a bit of Maiden.

A great guy, and he invited us down to a Maiden gig in Spain.
At one stage I found myself locked in a tapas bar with Maiden (due hundreds of fans surrounding us outside), discussing golf swings with Dave Murray. Surreal.

They are indeed i have seen them once now at the 02 arena last year and they were awesome they played all of seventh son of a seventh son. Collecting all there albums is a task and a half so far i have

Killers
The Number of the beast
Powerslave
Seventh son of a seventh son
Somewhere back in time
Fear of the dark
Maiden in england 88
Somewhere in time (compilation album)

I"ve streamed several of there albums on spotify Iron maiden is awesome as is Piece of Mind so i think they will be my next two purhcahes. I hope to see them at Sonisphere but Metallica are my proiorty. Still have to get my ticekt. I recentley saw Blaze Bailey at the camden underworld and was very good.
