BRUCE, NICKO AND ADRIAN PRAISE HI-ON MAIDEN IN METAL HAMMER!!!
Happy new year to you all! And what a great start to the new year with Iron Maiden praising Hi-on Maiden in the new issue of Metal Hammer!!!The boys were asked the question: "Have you ever been to see a Maiden tribute band? Any good?
Here are their replies:
Bruce: "I've been to see Hi-on Maiden - a Geordie band. (lol) They're good; they've got all the right trousers. Whether they've got the equipment to fill them though is a different matter."
Nicko: "I've seen Hi-on Maiden too. They were really good. Mind you I've got my own occaisional tribute band too: McBrain Damage. We do Maiden stuff, a bit of Ozzy as well."
Adrian: I played with one at a fan club convention in Holland: Hi-on Maiden. We did 'Two Minutes To Midnight'. But I forgot it, because I hadn't played for so long."
You can check out the whole article in the 'Spanish Inquisition' section on page 84 of the Jan 07 issue of Metal Hammer.

STOP PRESS !!!!!!!! Hi-on Maiden are Carrying On !!!
A lot of you may be aware that we announced last year that this would not only be our tenth anniversary, but also our final year.Since making this statement, the response has been overwhelming. We have been inundated with hundreds of messages from fans asking us not to give up.
This had made us think long and hard about the future of the band, and I can proudly announce that Hi-on Maiden WILL BE CARRYING ON after this year!!!!
Thanks to everyone who sent messages of support, and helped us change our minds.
Here's to a long future for us and you ....
Thanks for all your support over the last 10 years .. here's to the next 10 !,
Speed, Big, Hurry, Swifty and Quicko.
