they won't change their minds

but i think at best we'll get maybe a one-off show in London or NY and then it's up to the rest of the world to get there for it

interesting thing i read about maiden earlier that SHOULD apply to BJ but doesn't...

anyway - they don't want to do arena tours again because of touring commitments (and commitments outside of the band) but also because they really dig the stadium outdoor shot atmosphere. BUT they've said something like "we understand we have loyal fans all over the world where a stadium gig is just not possible for whatever reasons so we will STILL go to those countries and do one-off small shows... but other than that our winter tour will be our last ever arena shows."

Well I'm gonna go
