The Iron Maiden Thread v. The Merge of Souls

There was definitely a custom Metallica shirt at the Boston gig.

[Grappler]

Haha!  I didn't blow up the picture to full size, so I didn't see the rings.  I absolutely love it.

If so then that's a new thing. Some of the stands had Mexico City shirts, but hey were cheap, singled sided jobs. Not like their regular merchandise. In Germany they didn't even have European tour shirts. Only generic shirts with the countries they played in.


Edit: Looks like they are doing individual cities now. The same as the DF shirt, but they change the colors on the graphic and the middle picture, and now they have a back side to them. They still seem kind of cheap, though. Maiden sells high quality merchandise.

Yea I just went back and took a closer look.  That's awesome. 

[Ben_Jamin]

I don't even know if New Mexico had a shirt. Or what it was.

[goo-goo]

Maiden had some special edition Texas themed shirts as well

Yeah, I didn't get a sense of the quality, but the Boston show had a skeleton dressed up in the Pats logo soldier's gear about to snap the ball. Pretty cool design... if I didn't hate the Patriots I'll have to keep an eye out for what they have in Brooklyn.

I would LOVE to have one of those Boston shirts.  Anyone going that is willing to pick on up for me as a favor?  PM me.

[MirrorMask]

My opening acts here and there, counting also main supporting bands at a festival:

Helloween
Megadeth
Demons & Wizards
Edguy
Gamma Ray
Slayer
Trivium
Lauren Harris
Avenged Sevenfold
The Raven Age

And some more I guess.

Maiden has a different shirt for every area they play. In the US most cities get their own shirt. Since they play 2 or 3 gigs in Texas they just do that shirt. Countries work the same way. The back is almost always the same, but with the city/date(s) listed, and the front is different. If you look on their website they sell them (under event shirts) but without the city/date(s), to differentiate for the people who saw the show.

Here's the Texas shirt:

They've been doing this for quite some time, by the way. And damn, I miss the 3/4 black sleeved jerseys. Or better yet, the very rare black with white sleeve jerseys.

See above.

[bosk1]

Oh, cool.  Thanks.  Hopefully, the Boston one doesn't sell out and shows up in a few days.

[RodrigoAltaf]

Yeah, I remember a friend of mine had one from a show in the Somewhere in Time tour that had Eddie as one of the characters in Miami Vice, white suit and all....

I didn't want to PM you to get your hopes up, but they were sold out when we got there. I was going to grab an extra one. We got there towards the end of Ghost's set.

Oddly, I only saw ONE guy wearing the shirt. They couldn't have made too many of them.




I just want to say that Bruce was spectacular!   He brought it BIG TIME. I think the three days off since the weekend's shows helped. He totally f'd up on TRATB, coming in too early for the last chorus before the instrumental part.
His performance was ridiculous.

Nice  and they got another day off today before the weekend showdown in Brooklyn.  I think the guys are going to bring it for the sold out show tomorrow and the final show of the tour saturday.

[King Postwhore]

Dammit, I saw them and didn't read this thread.   Sorry Bosk1.

[bosk1]

That's okay.  Thanks anyway, guys.  Hopefully, it'll still show up on their site.  But if not, no big deal.

[Samsara]

re: I thought the California shirt was dumb, frankly. They've had better in years past. I decided to forego buying a shirt entirely (parking was 40 bucks, which already had me irritated). Glad everyone in New England had a good time. Glad Bruce was sounding good. For my show, he had a bit of a rough time (sounded like he had a bit of a cold).

[bosk1]

Yeah, I saw the Cali shirt on the website after Barto posted that link.  Not impressed.  But the Boston shirt is amazing.

I thought the same thing when I saw them in Cali on the SBiT tour. I don't like happy Eddie. I want menacing Eddie on my shirts. Florida works the same way.

Pic?

I wonder if any of my NY friends will be able to nab me a NY shirt when they play Brooklyn. Will have to ask. Hopefully that one is cool. I do not wear anything Boston-related. Ever.

Five rings.

Wonder if they can fit 27 on the NYC shirt.

Go Yankees.

Wow Blaze is doing a North American tour

https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/ex-iron-maiden-singer-blaze-bayley-announces-north-american-tour-in-support-of-endure-and-survive/

No dates that are easy for me to make, but I enjoy his solo material and would check him out.

[Samsara]

That's pretty cool. Not a huge Blaze fan, but I enjoyed his live record.

[King Postwhore]

The day after. The Queen and I at Trillium Brewing and she is wearing her Trooper brew concert T.

Five rings. 

It's always the little things with Maiden.    The clock is at two minutes to midnight, there is a naked woman in the window (of the CHURCH!) and there are 283 (28-3) rungs on the rope ladders on the ship.   

[cramx3]

And the historical references of course, plus a case of Trooper beer mixed with the tea

[bosk1]

...there is a naked woman in the window (of the CHURCH!)

  There is?

...and there are 283 (28-3) rungs on the rope ladders on the ship.   

What is that reference?

The score of the Super Bowl when the Pats started their comeback.

Which the Patriots highlighted by having 283 diamonds on their latest rings.

[Samsara]

Admittedly, I hate the Patriots (and Red Sox) with every ounce of my being. But what Maiden did with the details on that shirt is amazing. What a cool treat.
