I was planning on it until I saw that Iron Maiden was dropping off the bill for the Houston show.

I wonder what ticket sales are like for the Maiden shows vs the non-Maiden shows.

Bruce Dickinson has been acting like a dick as usual, so I don't care that they're not coming to Houston. I'm fed up with his bull****.

We're probably going, mainly to see BLS. Black Sabbath keeps cancelling due to Ozzy's health, so it's looking like Velvet Revolver is probably going to have to do an extra long set.

$25 lawn tickets on sale this weekend for the August show in Dallas. And Dallas just added Drowning Pool.

I hadn't heard anything about Bruce. What's he done now?

Drowning Pool is announcing that they signed the original singer from Soil. He'll be performing with them in Dallas.


Bruce has been ranting to the media about the fat, lazy, smug, old, hot dog eating US fans who show up, only want to hear the old stuff, and don't scream like teenagers anymore. Meanwhile, the supposedly superior teenage fans are relegated to the lawn in back. He's basically insulting his long time fans but doesn't seem to grasp that those are about the only fans he has. The teenagers are there for Slipknot and the second stage dry-heavers, not Maiden.

I'm there, in Albuquerque on the 23rd.
