Es war fast zu erwarten: Iron Maiden kommen dann in die Schlagzeilen, wenn es negative Schlagzeilen sind. Dann wird überall berichtet und der Name Iron Maiden wird mit Ausschreitungen in Verbindung gebracht.
Was ist da schon die Auszeichnung Best British Live Act ?
Aber so ist es: Man sieht meist nur das Negative.
Ich habe es erst vor kurzem angeschaut: DVD Global Metal (sehr empfehlenswert):
Man muss sich aber bei beiden Konzerten vor Augen halten, dass es sich um Ausschreitungen vor den Stadien handelt, die relativ wenig mit der Band zu tun haben. Die allgemeine Unzufriedenheit der Leute im Zusammenhang mit der Tatsache, dass man trotz Karte keinen Zutritt erhält, spielt hier eine Rolle.
Traurig, dass erst durch so etwas Iron Maiden wieder in die Presse kommt.

An diese Szene in "Global Metal" musste ich auch eben denken. War imo aber noch extremer. Metallica stand auf der Bühne und im Hintergrund schlugen die Flammen hoch.

auch ich musste an die szene aus global metal denken.wobei es da ja echt noch krasser war.
und naja wann ist maiden das letzte mal negativ aufgefallen.wenn man diese aktion in bogota so nennen kann weil da können maiden ja nichts für

Ja, also so übel ist das jetzt auch nicht in den Medien rüberkommen.. Hab mehrere Beiträge gehört, wo es hieß, dass sowas normalerweise nicht vorkommt bei einem Maidengig und das die Band davon wohl nix mitgekriegt habe..
Solche Ausschreitungen sind natürlich immer kacke und es war auch zu erwarten, dass das von den Medien gleich hochgespielt wird. Das Problem liegt da sicher eher an der Organisation und den Sicherheitsstandarts vor Ort wie an Maiden.
---------------------------------------------- The Time has come to close your eyes...
The news from Bogota is wildly exaggerated. We are now in beautiful Quito for a show tomorrow. Everyone is just fine. The "riots" were basically a lot of kids trying to break into the Simon Bolivar Park to see the show and the park has a big perimeter to protect. There is a large military presence for all concerts in Bogota as can be seen in our forthcoming movie Flight 666. However in the last 13 months we have played 2 fantastic concerts there to over 75,000 passionate fans at this same venue, Simon Bolivar Park. Neither performance was at all affected by the incidents of people outside trying to break in. None of the enjoyment of the show or safety of the band or our audiences was at all compromised.
We abhor the inane behaviour of a small minority of people outside. They do Iron Maiden, Metal and the real Colombian fans a disservice and sadly just provide a reason for the military to feel they need to be there.
Our fans are there for the MUSIC. We definitely intend to return to Colombia and trust the authorities will not be swayed to banning Maiden and Metal because of a minority of trouble makers spoiling it for the huge majority of true Iron Maiden fans.
versteh ich nicht. keine karten=kein konzert, oder wie war das?? solche "fans" ziehn nicht nur ihr land in den dreck sondern auch maiden und das is echt nicht notwendig
Ich würde auch sagen, das die Sicherheitsstandardts das größte Problem sind. Leider sind diese von Land zu Land anders und gerade in Südamerika nicht mit denen aus Europa zu vergleichen.

das steht genau 4 Einträge über deinem.. einfach mal gucken..
In Antwort auf:“Last weekend we took a break from recording to fly down to Bogota Columbia to play a show with Iron Maiden. When Maiden invites you to a party, you show up. Especially in Bogota.”
“It was a long trip there from LA but when we got in on Friday night, the hotel bar was still open and we dove into the local brew called Club Columbia. It was good.”
“Saturday was show day and we got to the venue in Simon Bolivar park (it’s like their Hyde Park) at about 3PM. Our dressing room was a huge tent fully catered and boozed out with white jacketed waiters. Strange but nice.”
“Everything was 5 star. I guess I didn’t expect the white glove treatment in Bogota. Everyone treated us great and we really felt the vibe of how stoked people were that we were there. You could feel it in the air. Thousands of people were on line for a week waiting to get a good spot up front. Seriously dedicated, these Columbians.”
“Our show was amazing. 45,000 strong, the Bogota metalheads went fuckin’ nuts. They sang every word. It was our first time there and it won’t be our last. I haven’t felt that kind of energy from a crowd in a while. It really felt like the whole thing could at any second just completely dissolve into chaos. And that’s a good thing.”
“Iron Maiden and their crew treated us as usual, fabulously. We have been playing shows together since 1988 and they have always been by far the best band we’ve ever played with. Their attitude has always been about giving the kids the best show they’ve ever seen and that includes letting the support bands shine. They’ve never had that attitude where they would sandbag an opening act to make themselves look better. Maiden and their organization, from Rod Smallwood to Squid the monitor tech, are all consummate professionals and it’s a fucking honor and a privilege to share a stage with them. ”
“When Maiden hit the stage the roar from the crowd sounded like what a tsunami must sound like. It was a deafening monstrous roar that never stopped. I was in actual tears of joy watching Maiden rip into Wrathchild.”
“I headbanged the rest of the night away. Maiden are the Kings.”
“We got to hang late into the night with Steve, Bruce, Nicko and Rod. I can’t wait to do it again.”
Allerdings, steht bestimmt auch was von im Metal Hammer drin. Post von Scott Ian immer sehr interressant! Stand auch schon was drin als er in LA beim 1. Leg beim Konzert war!

Ein Zivikollege meint zu mir heute: Hey, du bist doch Maiden-Fan,gell? Ich so: Ja klar, wieso? Er hat gemeint: Gabs da net irgendwelche bösen Ausschreitungen irgendwo beim Konzert in Südamerika?
........
Sowas kriegen die Leute mit, aber dass se n Brit Award für die beste Liveperformance bekommen haben, über sowas wird net berichtet
