hello coldplay fans
well a bit of knowledge for you, and this is from a maiden fan of 25 yrs, believe it or not i am not a one eyed fan and i do think coldplay are not as bad as many metal fans make out.
but i have to say you never had a chance when up against a band like maiden for a fan vote.
you have to ask yourself, how can a band like maiden have been going so long, well its the incredible management team behind them and the collective of nutters including myself who follow them with devotion.
ok, did you know that coldplay are a sanctuary (an iron maiden song)management band, sanctuary were formed by rod smallwood and andy taylor back in the late 70,s in order to manage an up and coming metal band, yep you guessed right iron maiden, forward 20 years and they sign coldplay. so we are not poles apart. just been going a little bit longer.
rod and andy sold sanctuary about 18mths ago and have set up a new management company and they now solely look after maiden and they are dong a great job, the only promtion needed to secure a win was a small piece about athe nomination on the website, the fans did the rest, as bruce said on the show they are on tour at the moment but he knew who to thank.
well i am sorry if some of the maiden fans come here to gloat but it is not everyday that we get to stick one in the eye of the music industry.
no hard feelings hey.
up the irons!!!! and maybe if you check them out we will see you somewhere back in time!!!
the strongest drugs they do is a cup of tea mate!!
