Modern Technic

In studio, RAGE are working with newest and most modern technic. Never heard samples out of african nature sounds have been purchased.


Violin in XXXL

For real unusual solis Peavy Wagner has just got an XXXL violin out of a custom shop.


New ideas for lyrics

Regarding lyrics, RAGE picked up totally new sources, and tested out never used subjects areas... (see photo: instructions for first aid in case of death)


Japanese Producer

To get the most heavy sound, the band spared no expenses to flew in two professional japanese Geishas.


Mike Terrana's new fitness programme

Peavy and Victor prescribed Mike a new fitness programme, developed by well-known scientists. Already after a minimum of training a considerable increase of finger, pine and neck muscles was obviously.

Tuurlijk niet, maar vaak vind ik het wel eeuwig zonde als het er opeens afgaat.

No way, ik ga het zo lang ook niet weer laten groeien! De tijd dat ik mensen bij heftige concerten knock out sloeg met dikke bundels haar behoort tot het verleden.

En zeg nou zelf, in deze tijd van verlichting is lang haar toch niet meer een vereiste om jezelf metal fiend te noemen?

Nee precies! Dat kan ook in glimmende kisten, ruitjesoverhemd, Harrington en platte pet op.
Al is zoiets post-Iers misschien wel het ultieme Folk Metal-statement.

Op mijn versie staat dat er op de 2e disc 8 video clips staan, terwijl ik alleen de laatste drie kan vinden. Ik zal wel scheel zijn, maar weet jij waar de rest is?

Iemand nog interesse in de tour die Arcturus gaat maken komende oktober? Lijkt me wel kinky, vooral met hun nieuwe geweldige frontman, die gast die bij Dimmu en Borknagar zong.

Two photos of IRON MAIDEN frontman Bruce Dickinson have apparently been deleted from the official Ozzfest web site, Ozzfest.com — presumably because the Ozzfest organizers believe that Dickinson has "disrespected" the festival (based on comments made by Sharon Osbourne during last night's Ozzfest in San Bernardino, California). View the MAIDEN photo page (containing pictures taken earlier in the tour) at Ozzfest.com. The photos that are believed to have been removed from the page can be seen at the following locations: Photo#1, Photo#2. [NOTE: Both photos can still be found on the Ozzfest.com servers in their original locations (before they were removed from the page): Photo#1, Photo#2.] [UPDATE: The "missing" Dickinson photos now appear to have been completely removed from the Ozzfest.com servers.]

Sharon Osbourne has issued the following statement via the official Ozzfest web site, Ozzfest.com:

"IRON MAIDEN were chosen for the Ozzfest tour because the Ozzfest committee felt they were a good band, plus the fact that they had not done shows in the U.S. for some time. From day one, Bruce Dickinson started berating Ozzy and belittling the Ozzfest audience. He stated he 'didn’t need a reality show to give him credibility'; 'We're not just some f*cking reunion band'; and continuously complained about the sound system, saying that when he comes back to America he'll have a better one. I understand he hasn't toured in the U.S.in these size venues in a while and no longer understands the political structure of things. Out of 200-plus bands over the last 10 years, he has been the only person who hasn't had the Ozzfest spirit. He thought he was at a battle of the bands, always making other comments about the other artists.

"Might I say, the rest of the band are gentlemen and have a great professional attitude. The crew are absolutely great. But how sad it was, after 10 years, that this little man tried to ruin it for everyone. The bands of Ozzfest don't even look at Ozzfest as touring, but as its heavy metal summer camp. Bruce is in fact a jealous prick and very envious. None of his tirades were directed at SABBATH, only Ozzy. Steve Harris [IRON MAIDEN's bassist] personally came to Ozzy in San Bernardino and apologized for Bruce's behavior this summer, stating that he and the rest of the band were 'embarrassed' by their own singer. It also offended me every night how he took out the English flag in America. There are American boys going to war alongside the English boys every day. How dare he forget the American troops on their home turf? He has had no respect for the American audience he has been playing for, stating in an interview, 'When you do the 'hits' tour here [in the U.S.], the audience is smug, and there's a sense of self-satisfaction, like, 'We got what we wanted…I'm looking at an audience that is self-satisfied and happy and fat, and getting what it wants and isn't prepared to get off its ass..'

"Before there was SAMSON there was SABBATH!

"Ozzfest 2005 continues on with our summer of fun with the addition of VELVET REVOLVER. This is where the fun begins….."

IRON MAIDEN wish to thank all the 45,000 Metal fans at Ozzfest in San Bernardino on Saturday night for sticking with us and giving us such a great response at the end of a difficult set. It was obvious to all there that we had a 'series of unfortunate events' throughout! These made it difficult for us to keep our momentum but your incredible support certainly helped us get through it. We guess it all adds up to a pretty memorable gig though!!!

This is, however, a Metal Festival. It is supposed to be fun for all. You fans pay very good money to be there and deserve to get a full and unhindered performance from all the bands. This was not the case last night.

So with this rather bizarre end to a good tour we are returning to the UK today for the Leeds and Reading Festivals and once again thanks to all of you who came out to see us these last few weeks.
