Iron Maiden New Movie – Chemical Wedding

Filed Under: Entertainment, Iron Maiden, Movies

May.15, 2008

Ah… who knew that Bruce Dickinson (the mad bugger who wants to do everything on earth before he dies) is also a screenplay writer? Hmm? Apparently, he has co-written for the movie Chemical Wedding and is due for a release this May 30th in the UK. I believe the movie is being produced by the legendary Heavy Metal band (my own personal favorite band of all time) Iron Maiden.

And guess who the movie is all about – its none other than Aleister Crowley. Talk about another cult movie in the making.

From an excerpt of an interview by Billboard with Bruce:

The movie we’re just doing ["Chemical Wedding" stems from conversations in the pub with Julian Doyle [Dickinson's co-writer on the film and its director 15 years ago. As it happens, we’re now having the most successful tour in the band’s history, the band is a global phenomenon, and in the same year, we get to release a feature film, followed shortly afterwards by another feature film with a documentary, DVD, all the rest of it. Fucking hell, it looks like a plan. It’s not. It’s totally random.

Looks like Iron Maiden is having a great big party that is lasting for more than a quarter of a century.

Almost a year ago I was one of the most fortunates to watch Iron Maiden in full concert in Bangalore.

I just can’t believe that its been less than a year and Iron Maiden came to India again! Wow! And to top it all, they started their Somewhere Back in Time World Tour 2008 with India as the first concert. Amazing. Thanks guys. You guys seriously made mine and my friends and so many other fans in India happy.

The concert was simply brilliant. I have too many words describe the experience. Some of the songs I best liked were Clairvoyant, Revelations, The Trooper, Heaven can wait and Moonchild. Mind you, these were songs that I didn’t expect them to play. So it was f’ing amazing when they played these songs out of the blue. I went berserk. And all the “Scream for me India” and “Scream for me Mumbai”. Oh boy, what a voice Bruce Dickinson has. Jeez!

So we were six for this concert when we were double for the concert last year. From the core Chows it was just Anoop and I. We missed the others, especially Renie and Naveen who could not make it to Mumbai.

Some pics taken at the Mumbai concert, courtesy Maiden Norway. They’ve even got a video of Eddie .

And when Eddie came on stage I almost cried.

That is Eddie playing the guitar with a little bit of help from Janick Gers.

The playlist was amazing with their 80’s songs. The songs I used to love when I was back in School. Ah, talk about bliss!

01. Intro – Churchill’s Speech
02. Aces High
03. 2 Minutes to Midnight
04. Revelations
05. The Trooper
06. Wasted Years
07. The Number of the Beast
08. Run to the Hills
09. Rime of the Ancient Mariner
10. Powerslave
11. Heaven Can Wait
12. Can I Play With Madness?
13. Fear of the Dark
14. Iron Maiden
—————————–
15. Moonchild
16. The Clairvoyant
17. Hallowed Be Thy Name

That was 1 hr and 45 mins of pure adrenaline. And best of all, how many of you can say that you were in a Heavy Metal concert and were able to see and participate in a mosh pit huh? We can, buddies, we can. Unwilling participants, yes, but still, we were there. YEAH!!!

Ask me or Anoop for more awesome details. Hehehe…

Sepultura Coming To India

Filed Under: Bangalore, Concert, India, Iron Maiden, Music

As I understand Sepultura were trying to come to India for some time now. At last they seem to have confirmed their tour to India. The metal scene in India, which was never really down, is getting a face lift with the number of mainstream Rock/Metal acts wanting to come down for a concert. The biggest help was of course Iron Maiden coming down to India. And their revisit in 2008. And they all want to Rock in Bangalore.

And the word on the street is that Megadeth, one of the greatest Metal bands, may visit India too.

Wow, thats the best news I’ve heard in a long time. It was a bloody blast to watch Iron Maiden play live in India earlier this year. Earlier post – here. And related posts – here.

The tour is aptly named Somewhere Back in Time World Tour ‘08. Well, well, well. And the songs they will be playing should be from these albums -Iron Maiden, Killers, The Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, Powerslave, Somewhere in Time, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.

I am already jumping around and totally looking forward to some kickass Heavy Metal music.

This time Iron Maiden will be on their Boeing 757 with Iron Maiden and Eddie pictures adorning the plane. And Bruce Dickinson who is a qualified pilot is going to pilot the plane. Man, these guys are just freaking out with their life.
