Absolutely. I love to listen to the LP and just stare at the artwork on that gatefold: there are so many details and depth to it. Just Amazing !!!

Derek Riggs is a magician... wished i had enough money to buy the original artwork that is been auctioned on ebay now

Have you got the book that he released a couple of years ago where he describes all the artworks that he has done for Maiden and other bands?

Just had a look at ebay: there's not only an original hand drawn piece of art for sale, but also signed lithographs. Think i'll try to get one of those !!

FUCK! You really planned on spending that on a drawing??? (i would have done it if I had any money though...) But those prices are insane.

absolutely !!!!

Really awesome to see a Maiden shirt in your collection. And an awesome one like this (thank you random item window) and judging from the painters canvas it's rather small. And I'm a rather small guy. Hint hint. No but seriously... You were on this tour? That would be awesome.

hehe funny... no, first tour i saw was No prayer on the road tour !!! Think i bought this one from Large...

VoodooChild's picture

Hmmmm so this wasn't bought on that tour.... That's too bad.... Large sucks these days btw... Only mallcore shirts, hip-hop brands and even Lonsdale.....

gloriousdeath's picture

yep, wished i was on that tour, but no... we planned to go to the Seventh Tour Of A Seventh Tour 1988, but it never happened: bunch of countryside kids without money and clue !!! Yeah, Large sucks these days. Back then they didn't have a catalogue already i think; they had big adds in Aardschok/ Metal Hammer and they had all the good stuff that you'll kill for now...

VoodooChild's picture

Yeah... I know concert plans can go horribly wrong when your young and planned it with likeminded friends.... Planning to go to on next Maiden tour btw?

EDIT: I mean since it's a repeat of the Maiden England tour wich supported the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son album. And you missed that one. Just wondering.

Just had a look: i see they play the Ziggo Dome june 2013... well maybe that is going to happen, yes. Wished Steve Harris would tour with British Lion !!!

VoodooChild's picture

British Lion is a nice album but I prefer Maiden a 1000 times over it... So I personally hope Steve puts all his time in Maiden.... But if one of the other members didn't wanna tour sith Maiden it would be a nice diversion yes... Just don't see it happen.

PS. Als je nu om wat voor reden geen ticket willen kopen en later denken van: shit ik wil eigenlijk wel maar het is uitverkocht.... Wellicht heb ik dan een ticket. Ga met een vaste groep altijd naar shows en iemand heeft gekocht en nu al afgezegt... Ik ken wel wat andere mensen die fan zijn maar weet niet of ze naar concert willen, heb een week niemand gesproken vanwege vakantie dus ik verzeker niks... Maar mocht je een ticket nodig hebben hou wellich in je achterhoofd.... Gewoon mailen kans bestaat niemand mee wou. Ik zeg dit omdat stockholm (50.000 plaatsen als ik het goed heb) in 2 dagen was uitverkocht. En Ziggodome heefd maar +- 7000 staanplaatsen.

he, dat zal ik zeker in gedachte houden !!! Maar er zijn meer plannen: zo zouden we weer eens naar een festival in het buitenland gaan... daarnaast misschien voor langere tijd naar Indonesie.... moet toch eens een geldboom gaan planten hehe

VoodooChild's picture

Haha geldboom zou handig zijn... En als je wil gaan raad ik je aan gewoon te kopen... Ik verzeker niks er is alleen een kleine kans niemand hem wil overkopen. Dat hadden we bij Maiden in 2011 final frontier tour. Gast kon de dag van te voren op eens niet vanwege persoonlijke reden... €60,- weg... Dus ik dacht ik deel het mee. Dus niet denken van: ik wil maar ik koop niet want ik kan in juni er nog een overkopen.. Je begrijpt wat ik bedoel....

gloriousdeath's picture

yep, ik begrijp het... zal het in ieder geval onthouden... € 60,- in de drek smijten is mooi klote...
