I sure hope I'm not jumping the gun in my assumption here, but judging by the past decade or so, I doubt it. And just as they have me pumped on their new album for the first time in years.

IRON MAIDEN has announced that they will be beginning their 2006 World Tour with eight dates across the USA and three dates in Canada starting October 4 in Hartford, CT.

The upcoming North American dates represent the beginning of the "A Matter of Life and Death World Tour", which will continue into Japan and then travel through to Europe, finishing with two shows at London's Earls Court Arena just before Christmas. All the shows on the European leg have been on sale since March and reaction to the dates has been incredible, with the majority of shows already sold out months in advance.


IRON MAIDEN North American tour dates:

Oct. 04 - New England Dodge Music Center - Hartford, CT
Oct. 06 - Agganis Arena - Boston, MA
Oct. 07 - Tweeter Center At the Waterfront - Camden, NJ
Oct. 09 - Colisee Pepsi Arena - Quebec City, QC
Oct. 10 - Bell Centre - Montreal, QC
Oct. 12 - Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum - Uniondale, NY
Oct. 13 - Continental Airlines Arena - East Rutherford, NJ
Oct. 16 - Air Canada Centre - Toronto, ON
Oct. 17 - Palace of Auburn Hills - Auburn Hills, MI
Oct. 18 - Allstate Arena - Rosemont, IL
Oct. 21 - Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre - Irvine, CA

Perhaps this is just a North Amercian warm up...hopefully more will be added.

They are touring Europe in December, maybe that's why it's so short?

They'll come back around. I can catch them in Toronto or Montreal.

I have to agree, I really wish they'd kick Janick out. In the last 16 years he's been with them, he really hasn't added anything memorable to Maiden...just kinda been along for the ride, so to speak...

Very true. They could do without him. But he doesn't hurt the sound any by being there. As long as the music sounds good it would not bother me if he stays.

Janick could go, three guitars spoils the sound sometimes, I can't tell who's palying what.

didn't he have songwriting credits on the last record?

I can't remember

As far back as Fear of the Dark for that matter,and about every disc from then (92)till now. Mr. Gers has lots of songwriting credits in maiden.

I think Janick Gers has earned his stripes with Maiden.
