I love both Maiden and Priest, but just a fact, Maiden sold out 2 nights at the forum here in LA recently (18,000 per night). Priest is playing a small place that holds a few thousand. Though, I’d still like to see Priest, on a pinball basis, Maiden trounces Priest. Just my opinion though.

I did see Halford open for Queensryche and Iron Maiden. I felt bad for Geoff Tate as he sounded good but you could tell he was pulling all he could to hit the highs on Queen of the Ryche, and also being in between Halford and Dickinson in sets. My buddy and I decided we have to get there early enough to see Halford. Holy cow, I still remember my jaw hitting the floor when they opened with Resurrection. (By the way, check that album out if you haven’t. It’s awesome). Halford kicked major ass. He was my favorite part of the whole show. Also, priest released an anniversary addition of the Screming album with a included DVD of the whole US Festival performance. It’s amazing too. Can you tell I’m a musician?
Anyway, love both bands, but I’d rather see a Maiden pin. That last sentence at least, keeps us on topic.

Maybe they are talking about TPF? I would think it will be revealed between now and then which is before mid-March.

She plays with Alice Cooper now.
