IRON MAIDEN Manager Comments On Upcoming Documentary

January 22, 2008

Directors Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn of Banger Films Inc. — creators of the critically acclaimed, award-winning documentary "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" and its soon-to-be-released follow-up "Global Metal" — are looking for IRON MAIDEN fans to be part of a feature documentary that will follow the band's upcoming "Somewhere Back in Time" tour.

On Feburary 1, IRON MAIDEN and their 70-strong road crew will embark on their most ambitious tour ever. They will load into a specially refitted Astreaus Boeing 757 decked out in iconic Eddie artwork and carrying 12 tons of equipment. For this first leg of the tour, they will then fly over 70,000 km to 21 cities across four continents, playing to over 400,000 fans in just 45 days. All this with lead singer/commercial pilot Bruce Dickinson at the helm.

For the official tour documentary, Scot and Sam will follow the band in the air and on the stage, giving fans behind-the-scenes and front-and-centre access to the most anticipated metal tour of 2008. They are now seeking MAIDEN fans in Australia, Japan, India, North America, Central America and South America to be part of this historic mission.

If you're a die-hard MAIDEN fan who is attending one or more concerts on the first leg of the upcoming tour (February 1 to March 16, 2008) and are willing to be interviewed on camera about your passion for all things MAIDEN, please e-mail [email protected] and tell the filmmakers why YOU should be in this movie. All ages encouraged.

Comented IRON MAIDEN manager Rod Smallwood: "As well as everyone else on our 757, we have now added a seven-man documentary crew who are asking for MAIDEN fans in the many cities we play in February - March to contact them to be a part of this. This will be such an incredible and exciting tour that we agreed with Scot and Sam's proposal to document this so if you see cameras following us around everywhere and around the stage you now know why!! A record of this is something that the band and myself would love to have and we are feel that many of you fans may feel hopefully feel the same — there has never been a tour quite like this before!"
