Once again as in Phoenix 2000 you can hear how Iron Maiden don't enjoy more to play in USA, except from NY & LA the shows were really effortless without feedback from the audience, as Bruce said on Fan club magazine No 62 (edited): "People get to a certain age and no longer leap around and go mad. They sit down and watch a rock band like it's a panto or something". Probably because their audience is as old as them and no more new fans.

This is probably because MTV is directing what is good and what is bad and brain washing some fans with Slipknot, Marilyn Manson and others low quality groups that arrive to the charts and 2 years later no else can remember them.

Sorry guys you need to hear new groups and the good quality old ones, as an example if you want to hear something new and brutal just check Dimmu Borgir, Samael (No so new), or other kind of metal like Tiamat (Marilyn Manson had to open for them at Holland), Dark tranquillity and many more from Europe (I don't live in Europe so I'm honest when I say that they are really good), and if you want to hear good groups from USA of course Queensryche, Danzig, Misfits, Suicidal tendencies, Fear factory, Death and all the NY hard core bands.

At the beginning of Ghost of the navigator Bruce said: "We really will appreciate it, if you don't threw shit over the guitars, we don't threw shit over you other way I will threw bullshit over you" , what the bloody hell is happening in USA, if you don't like the new material don't go to the concerts and save your money that will be the best for you and for the others who want to join the concert, Iron maiden is divided as two tracks.
