Iron Maiden Concert Review

[Hap]

Whats up guys... I saw Iron Maiden monday night 8/25 at the Long Beach Arena. Motorhead was the opening band. Now months before the show i was looking forward to seing Motorhead. A lot of people had told me great stuff about them, and the song i have heard from them freakin rule! I dont know what happened at the show... I guess Lemmy is just too old now. They didnt impress me at all. I had high hopes and i was let down. When Lemmy talks to the crowd i cant understand a damn word he says. The drum solo sounded like the guy was banging on some pots and pans or something. His sound was way off. The toms sounded really really shitty. Im glad they only played for 30 mins...

Next up was DIO!!!!!!!! They ***ed ROCKED! It was my first time seing DIO and it was awesome! They had a great setlist. All the classics... (Ill post all the setlists at the end). Then after Dio me and my friend were kinda hungry, even though we ate before we went to the show to avoid expensive food n drinks. I got some chili fries that tasted like shit and a sprite for like 8 bucks. LOL! T-Shirts were $35!!! What kinda bullshit is that! I remember shirts were no more then $20 at concerts. Needless to say i didnt buy any merchandise.

Now it was time for IRON MAIDEN!!!! This was also my first time seing them. What can i say? Maiden just ***en ruled! Dickinson sure knows how to get the crowd going too. SCREEEEEEAM FOR ME LONG BEACH AREEEEEEEEENNNNAAAAAAA!!!!!! Oh man and i still dont know how they do it but they had FRIGGEN EDDY COME OUT ON STAGE!!! HE WAS HUUUUUUUGGGGGGEEE!!!! I think it was during 'the clansman' All in all it was a great show. Minus the dissapointment of Motorhead. Maybe they just werent feeling good that night. Oh well... DIO and MAIDEN were great!
