iron maiden in scandinavia and bruce air 666

In and around Europe

On 18 of november i arived in stockholm, get to the city with some finish maiden fans that i get to meet at the airport and then right to my hotel and from there to the globen. i meet the girl that i contact with her from IMOC forum that have spare ticket for me in a bar, she (swidish maiden) and alot of her freinds seat in a bar and drink. then go to the venue, we have seating tickets and still it was very good view from where we seat even that it was the wrost ticket and when iron maiden play it was very very good show and all the responce from the swidish fans was great and it was one of the best maiden live show i get to be.

Next day i go to walk to see the city, all the people are so nice and all of them know good english. sure i was with iron maiden shirt on me so alot of time people come to me and start to talk about iron maiden all the time no metter where i go later i go to globen and meet another fan i know from IMOC forum (miwi), that have spare ticket for me but this time it was standing ticket and allso the wrisband for first to the barrior! we get inside and allready it was to much fans in so we was not really in the first rows. after the show we go to the city to have a drink in some bar and then he tell me there is a lot of hard rock clubs that play speciel maiden night for tonight. so we go and walk and every club is full because it was saturday and also alot of maiden fans but... lucky us we walk alot cause when we past some hotel we saw bruce dickinson get in to a car and sign to some fans... but it all was to fast and then the car go away. it was so amazing to see bruce dickinson in the street right after the show. me and mickel (miwi) found some good club and get so drunk.

Next day i take a bus to gothenburg, long way so i get in the night just to my hostel and get to sleep. another day, another iron maiden show but from this time and on i have all my tickets on me. it was rain all the day so i did not have nothing to do all day then be in theat big mall where is the train and bus terminal. i meet another great guy (clansman666) from IMOC forum. well i have seating ticket for gothenburg and boris (clansman666) have spare wrisband but i was sure they wont let me get in but they did not care they let me get in and we both get to stand on the rail in the center-right side where Steve the god is wow... it was the best show i ever been to! had eye contact with god all the time and even get Adrian Smith's pic guitar

Next day me and boris take a bus to oslo and again allso this buss was full of maiden fans. we go to our hostel and then take a taxi to valhala, while we stand outside the gate we saw the platinum records that they bring to the venue when the band allso said this durring the show. we get in this time we get to be at the rail in the midlle where is bruce. i see that the singer from trivuim allready regonise me it was one of the best iron maiden nights, my favorit after gothenburg. bruce all the time make eye contact with me. one time i start to scream "maiden! maiden!" and all the crowed get along with me somehow alot of youngs fans was around us and all the time more and more fans past out. all the time i was in shock to see how nice the scandinavian people when the security give us plastic gllas of water and instand fight for it they all get to shere it with them self, every one drink a litlle and then give it to another one and so on.

Day after boris flight to bregen (we will meet again in stockholm) and i go to see the city of oslo and then take a flight with rianair to london for my bruce air to stockholm...

london: i was afraid not to wake up in time or get late in trafic so i deside not to sleep and go wait all the night in the airport. i get around 2 mineutes to midnight and i found 3 other guys who allready in the airport for bruce air flight, so we talk all the night, one of them is andy form welse :)  and in the morning all the rest of the fans come. it was great to talk with alot of fans who come to this flight from all arond the world, one of them is from india some from japan! this is how i also meet phil from uk :) i get incide the plain and on my seating was a goodie bag. just before we land off bruce dickinson come and talk to us. during the flight bruce talk to us "scream for me" and we all scream!!! :) we arrive in stockhom and get to the hotel, my room mate was brain who suffer from my snoring later that night. then go to the venue, we was on the stage and take a picture group with bruce. then go out back to the hotel and then back to enjoy the show :) after the show me andy, boris and phil go to some club to see some tribute swedish band who cover iron maiden songs and then back to hotel to get some sleep. day later we go back to the airport to flight back to london, when we land just before i live the plain i go to the cockpite  to meet bruce! i get picture with him and some signatures, he was very nice to me :)
