the Iron Maiden movie!
I just got back from seeing "Iron Maiden - Flight 666" and it is awesome!
A really well-made movie, with super sweet concert footage that almost seemed like I was at the show.
If you don't know, the movie is a documentary about the first leg of Maiden's "Somewhere Back in Time Tour" in which the band and crew (and all their gear) toured in a 757 with singer Bruce Dickinson piloting the plane.
Best.
Band.
Ever.
The theater was fully sold out and everyone had a Maiden shirt on.
Actually, the spectacle of the crowd was half the fun, and the fact that it was made by Canadians was very appreciated by everyone there.
Hey, we're awesome!
My favorite scenes were definitely the ones shot in South America, people are very serious about metal there, and it's crazy to see kids camping out for 10 days to get a good spot.
One fan who caught a drumstick seemed to be having a religious experience. Some people laughed but I thought it was a real moment.
Anyway, the movie was awesome, Iron Maiden have never let me down!
