Black & Purple Maiden
Tony Iommi (Guitars, Black Sabbath), Ian Gillan (Vocals, Deep Purple), Nicko McBrain (Drums, Iron Maiden) and Jon Lord (Keyboard, Deep Purple) are going to record a charity song to raise money to rebuild the Armenian Music School.
Iommi and Gillan were already involved in a charity re-recording of Deep Purple’s biggest hit ‘Smoke on the Water’ to raise money for something something* in Armenia in 1989.
* If you really want to know what they raised money for, read the Blabbermouth article.
My thoughts: Deep Purple are still doing music? And Nicko McBrain still has a weird shaped nose.
Iron Maiden want more money
And guess who they want it from… YOU.
Iron Maiden, legendary band, are continuing their tour in 2011, as well, because they’re legends. And legends need private jets and all the costs associated with that. So that’s where you guys come in and keep buying tickets. Fair deal? Yes it is.
Also, if you ever fancied to ‘rock out with your cock out,’ literally, please notice they are playing the Roskilde Festival in Denmark, a festival known for nudist activities and unisex showers where you can rape your favorite chick.
Dates after the jump.
Bruce Dickinson tries to justify new setlist
Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden tried to justify Maiden‘s setlist, that contains mostly new work, in a recent interview.
“[New fans] aren’t interested in nostalgia. They want new stuff and they want exciting stuff.” he said.
“Bullshit” I say, Bruce Bruce. Iron Maiden has a backing catalogue of 15 albums and by playing mostly only songs of the last 4 albums, you’re cheating your fans out of 11 albums of great material. I’d rather listen to the first 5 albums on repeat for the rest of my life than to listen to a whole song of your new album. Plus nostalgia is what bought you that plane in the first place. You know what plane I’m talking about captain Brucie.
