Not released a decent album since Seventh Son - FACT. Still awesome live though, however I am stuck at work tonight. Poxy IT - wish I was a bloody plumber sometimes.
I worked on tour with Iron Maiden round europe. Can't say I knew much about them or liked there music but by end of 2 month tour I knew every song and really nice bunch of old men!! rock on....
Haven't seen Maiden since they headlined Wembley arena 1 xmas with Anthrax supporting,was a few years ago but a great gig and i had an access all areas VIP BACK STAGE PASS and met them all, really nice blokes.
Never been his biggest fan as a person, but of course wish him well being the metal legend that he is. I believe they are very confident that he is going to recover and they'v e fortunately caught it at a 'good' stage.
Just announced the "Run for your lives" tour celebrating 50 years since they were formed. Only playing songs from the first 9 albums (which should please Leroy!).

I actually went with him to see them at the O2 I guess about 15 years ago and they were very good indeed, even though it's not really my genre of choice.
Last saw them at Donnington in 92. Mad that they are still travelling the world selling out huge venues and delivering brilliant shows.
Technically I've never been to see Iron Maiden.
I have, however, seen "The Nodding Donkeys" in 1992 at the old Oval Rock House on the Dereham Road in Costessey, just outside Norwich.
I was at UEA at the time and a friend of mine asked if I wanted to come see an Iron Maiden tribute act at the Oval. Yeah, why not. I don't know if he'd got wind of this beforehand but it was actually a warm-up gig ahead of their appearance at Donnington. The Oval was run by a friend of Maiden's, one of their former roadies, and my friend played a few gigs there with his own death metal band so may have had inside sources!
