BRUCE, NICKO AND ADRIAN PRAISE HI-ON MAIDEN IN METAL HAMMER!!!

Happy new year to you all! And what a great start to the new year with Iron Maiden praising Hi-on Maiden in the new issue of Metal Hammer!!!

The boys were asked the question: "Have you ever been to see a Maiden tribute band? Any good?
Here are their replies:

Bruce: "I've been to see Hi-on Maiden - a Geordie band. (lol) They're good; they've got all the right trousers. Whether they've got the equipment to fill them though is a different matter."

Nicko: "I've seen Hi-on Maiden too. They were really good. Mind you I've got my own occaisional tribute band too: McBrain Damage. We do Maiden stuff, a bit of Ozzy as well."

Adrian: I played with one at a fan club convention in Holland: Hi-on Maiden. We did 'Two Minutes To Midnight'. But I forgot it, because I hadn't played for so long."

You can check out the whole article in the 'Spanish Inquisition' section on page 84 of the Jan 07 issue of Metal Hammer.
