Maiden UniteD (featuring Damian) now for pre-order

[Ayreonaut]

Maiden uniteD is an acoustic tribute to the legendary band Iron Maiden.
A project which Joey Bruers started at the Dutch fan club convention in 2006. They asked for something other than the regular tribute or cover band, which resulted in this project.

The project is called Maiden uniteD, because we hope to bring all kinds of musicians and fans from all over the world together to celebrate the music that has already united us for over three decades.

“Mind the Acoustic Pieces” is the first release of this project. An acoustic version of 'Piece of Mind' with new arrangements and played by an impressive ensemble (Mike Coolen, Ruud Jolie, Marco Kuypers, Damian Wilson, Joey Bruers and Anneke van Giersbergen). The album will be accompanied by a European tour that starts in December.

I finally get to see Damian live again. It's been five years and I'm having withdrawals

I'm more pleased with their show in Zaandam, that's only 15 minutes away from my place.

One thing is for sure Heather, you had fun

That is an understatement. That man is going to kill me one of these days with his live performances. It's so intense and beautiful at the same time.

Not to mention being smushed against his mainly chest for a crushing hug afterward. Yeah, that was pretty good as well

 

[Ayreonaut]

Just be glad he doesn't kill you with his driving...
