Me,Maiden and the Gigs.

Back in 2003 when I started listening to Metal, Maiden was the band I was very much hooked upon. I can very much say Maiden got me into Metal! I had even bought their then latest album ( Dance Of Death) and had listened to it so many times. Later I started exploring their earlier albums. Loving each album, each listen gave me a new feeling. It was like discovering something which you never expected and getting utmost pleasure out of it and feeling glad you found it. Hard to describe that feeling. Every time I'd think this is the ultimate joy I'd ever get but I'd always end up discovering new pleasures, each time reaching different heights and Maiden was the vehicle which took me there! I can never forget those days, discovering new music, falling in love with different genre but maiden was always there.

Back then I had not even dreamt that I'd see Iron Maiden live in a concert. well, it was impossible. No Good Metal band had played before in my city. Never had it come to my mind also. But today, 5 years since I started listening to maiden, I can't believe I've seen them Live twice already and i'll be seeing them again on the Feb 16th at Palace Grounds, Bangalore. I'll be catching Maiden on their second leg of their on going world tour "Somewhere Back In Time". I'm so lucky to be a part of both the legs! Yup had been to Mumbai last year to see maiden! Well, I don't mind seeing them 100 times!

Over the last couple of years I've seen some of my favorite bands Live. Saw Megadeth, Satyricon, Machine head within a span of one year. I guess this year there is so much to look forward. Starting from Maiden in Feb that is! Also I'm happy to know that Judas Priest are keen to come here! ( Rolling Stones India). I just hope I get to attend a lot of great gigs this year. I love going to concerts! I am not the kind of person who tries to see too much further in his future, but I'm such a person who is satisfied with all the little things in his hand at present. For me the next big thing is Iron Maiden concert in February. I just can't wait. Come this February I'll be all Psyched about maiden and I'm sure I'll get back the pleasure (which is long lost now for whatever reasons) which once I'd got from the Music and nothing can take it away!
