I see Maiden every chance I get, they’re my favorite band. On their last tour I saw them both in Portland and Tacoma, and this year I’m flying to LA to see them there. One of the greatest bands of all time

Do you miss Nicko? He was my fave and I can't imagine seeing them without him

I will always miss Nicko, but he is like 70 and had a stroke. The songs are there, and Bruce, Steve, Adrian, Dave, and Janick are all still there

Up the Irons. So proud of them for rejecting the joke that is the RRHOF.
