Whoah! I just found out it is playing about 20 minutes from where I live in the US! Hell yeah I am going to that MOTHERFUCKING SHIT!!! Let's see, five days from today is Tuesday. Not a good day for me, but I'm sure I can make it work.

Make it work, this is not to be missed!
I've watched a few of the clips on YouTube and there are fans in Columbia who GAVE UP THEIR JOBS just so they could go to the gig - mental
Here's Rime of the Ancient Mariner from the film to whet an appetite........

It's a documentary with 40% live footage- one song for each country- and 60% documentary.
Bruce (Lead Singer) piloted the Boeing 747 and they played in countries they have never played in before (Costa Rica, Columbia)
These lads are made up of personality as well as talent.

Why won't they let Paul Di'Anno join them onstage as a special guest? Do you know how awesome that would be if they did a tour with both Bruce and Paul? Grand finale of "Iron Maiden" with both singers!

Paul Dianno is a washed up pub singer who was kicked out of the band 27 years ago that's why

Actually he wanted to leave too because he didn't like the direction they were going in. If you listen to the first album and compare it to Killers it is much more raw. The second side of Killers has some pretty slick, radio-friendly material and the production of the whole album was a lot more commercial. Paul had more of a punk sensibility and was conflicted about the success vs. doing music he believed in. In interviews Paul seems not at all bitter. He was happy for their success with Bruce. He can still belt it out, too. I think he would do a fine job as a special guest.

The first maiden album is a classic, killers isn't bad.
They should have given Paul a call in 1993 when Bruce Left. But there's no way he could handle being in front of 50.000 people now. And He hasn't done anything good in since leaving maiden.
He says he never regets leaving maiden, they don't regret it either. Bruce is the only Maiden singer that matters.

It would have been awful if they got him in the 90's! Can you imagine Di'Anno trying to sing the Bruce-era Maiden songs? No way in hell he could ever do it. He could handle a special guest spot now, though! Why not? It's your opinion and all. I respect that. I just think it would be so kickass to see Paul singing Prowler and Phantom of the Opera and Remember Tomorrow and all those songs. Bruce is great, but no one can sing the Di'Anno era songs like Paul Di'Anno.

It was a great documentary on Maiden's tour. I was actually shocked by how good they sounded, even with Jannick Gers muddying things up as usual. Oh, and Nicko has tits!

Yes man Bruce never did sound right singing Paul's songs. Their voices are so different (impossible for them to do justice to each others songs imo)
Oh and yes that would be cool (special guest) if he's still capable.

Jannick Gers is the biggest spare part the world has ever seen :cool:
We had to miss the showing in Bristol; although we were able to catch up with it tonight in Swindon.

My favourite song of the Di'Anno days is Purgatory, which I think Dickinson also sings well.

The film was flabbergastingly good. I wish I had seen them, on that tour, in Santiago! The whole place was jumping.
If not Santiago; Bogotá, which I've visited! The vibe surrounding the show looked pumped, South America Rocks.! ;)
Failing that San José also came across as a great place to chant "Maiden Maiden Maiden"
