Maybe Alice is going to run for president.

Well IF that's the big announcement, it should've been titled as "A Big Announcement for the North American Fans to Come in a Few Weeks"....

So...no news yet then??
I would never join a club that would have me as a member!
Re: "A Big Announcement to Come in a Few Weeks"
There may be more European dates announced at the same time, and they will likely be headline shows, not "very special guest" slots.

Re: "A Big Announcement to Come in a Few Weeks"
I agree. And, as far as I'm concerned, a few headline shows on top of what is already known would be so much more appreciated than a bunch of more festival dates / special guest stuff

Iron Maiden/Alice Cooper is sure to be a great show. Although I don't really like seeing Alice doing a somewhat strippe down show while it's still light outside as it will be at The Molson Ampitheatre. I'll be there either way

Being a longtime devout follower of both Alice and Maiden, I am stoked for this tour!

Re: "A Big Announcement to Come in a Few Weeks"
Although Alice is being billed as 'Special guest' i just hate the thought of him being a support act for anyone, I'm not sure how bing Maiden are in America. Personally never liked them although I did once get a drumming lesson by Nicko Mcbrain for a tv show I was doing and he was a brilliant guy.
Re: "A Big Announcement to Come in a Few Weeks"
Dadascot - Maiden's last studio album charted at number 4 in the USA, their highest position to date. If that's any indication for ya For the record, it went to number one in 28 countries worldwide.
Grew up listening to Maiden, amassed a huge collection, but my enthusiasm has cooled lately. Whereas Alice took a while to fully appreciate, but now he's my all-time hero.
It's academic anyway, when this tour hits the UK it'll almost certainly be a one-off festival show, like the previous two Early Years tours.

Re: "A Big Announcement to Come in a Few Weeks"
I like Maiden, but their last 3 albums have been atrocious.

Re: "A Big Announcement to Come in a Few Weeks"
Big enough that Alice can be their "special guest" instead of vice versa. I might have to catch the Noblesville, Indiana show at Kirpisck Amphitheater or whatever the crap it's called now.dadascot wrote:Although Alice is being billed as 'Special guest' i just hate the thought of him being a support act for anyone, I'm not sure how bing Maiden are in America.

Re: "A Big Announcement to Come in a Few Weeks"
I'm considering going to one of these shows.... i could do with getting away from England for a few days for various reasons.
Having never been to the USA or Canada, can anyone recommend which show/city i should look at going to? Any advice would be great

Bigger then 99% of other Metal bands I would wager. They are one of the biggest touring acts in the world.dadascot wrote:I'm not sure how big Maiden are in America.

Re: "A Big Announcement to Come in a Few Weeks"
So it seems this is "the big announcement". I'm a little let down. Opening slot on a tour does not impress me too much. Although on the bright side it pretty much gurantees him a large crowd and hopefully he will keep the 3 guitar attack as I remember Alice saying he wanted 3 guitars for last year tours to beef up the heaviness of playing some festivals with Maiden.
Re: "A Big Announcement to Come in a Few Weeks"
I just checked the official website but I can't find any proof that the Maiden/Cooper tour was the big news.
