Tour producer Gabe Reed commented, “Matt Gallagher’s securing of this visa for Paul after so many failed tries by others is an awesome development that all IRON MAIDEN fans should be grateful for.

I’m actually really psyched for this tour.\u00a0 I have never seen Di’Anno live and I know that this may be my last chance to see this guy who was the once the lead singer in one of my favorite all time bands.\u00a0 Besides, even at it’s worse it’ll still be Di’Anno.\u00a0 It’s like seeing the best classic Iron Maiden tribute you can see only the songs are being sung by the guy who originally sang them.\u00a0 Count me in.\u00a0 I better drop Jammin’ Jaymz a line and see if I can crash with him for this show!\u00a0 Should be a blast from the past!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
