Had no idea that I’d be meeting this lunatic yesterday, if I’d known beforehand I’d have taken some CDs to get signed, instead I paid £14 for an 8” drum head. He was more than happy to chat with the fans, even responding when asked how he felt about a certain song being in the set by saying he insisted on it despite it being a “bastard of a song to play”. After he’d finished he went off in his chauffeur driven Mercedes, waving as he went and shouting “Toodaloo, see you tonight”

Also, just outside the arena where the crew were busy loading stuff in (managed to say hello to Steve Harris’s bass tech and occasional Maiden keyboard player Michael Kenney) this was parked up and then a little later paraded through the streets nearby, no mention of the fact it was £5.80 for a bottle of Trooper inside though!
