IRON MAIDEN: Melbourne Video Footage Available

February 7, 2008

British heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN performed the first of two shows last night (February 6) at the Rod Laver Arena. A video report can be found at The Age.com.au.

An excerpt from TheAge.com.au's review of the concert follows:

"There were enough guitar histrionics, smoke, flames, sparks and Spandex to give satirical metal band SPINAL TAP a run for its money.

"But IRON MAIDEN fans were taking this occasion very seriously. Some even spent $50 on the band's latest T-shirts and $20 on a stubbie holder — for which you could almost buy a slab of beer.

"But from the moment lead singer, passenger-jet pilot and former fencing champion Bruce Dickinson yelled out: "Scream for me, Melbourne," fans young and old — led by those sporting "first to the barrier" wristbands — showed their love in a massive banging of heads. When the moshpit flailed, their long hair in unison, it looked like they were whipping up a giant tumbleweed."
