Hey JeffB, I was just wondering bout something. I see Adrian Smith everytime I see your posts, are you a Maiden man also? Best metal band ever in my book. I saw them many, manytimes in my younger days! The first time was their firstUS tour, and also the weirdest band set I have ever seen. First Maiden opened up( Number of the Beastwas just released), then Rainbow ( with Jo Lynn Turner singing0 and then the headliner.... 38Special. All great bands, but 3 very different styles!! On the Powerslave tour ( I was in college at Toledo University then), I saw them in Toledo ( Toledo Sports Center)on a tues night, in Detroit ( Cobo Hall) on wed. and then in Kalamzoo on friday. All 3 shows I was right in the front row in front of Dave Murray. Buddy, I honestly coudn't hear until about tues. or wed. the next week. Then the next weekend saw Saxon open for the Crue at Fox Theatre in Detroit ( Shout tour). Also an awesome show. Man were those the good old days. 2 or 3 great bands onstage for $13.50!!!! Man have things changed!

Up the Irons!!!
