Hello Munsters!! Tonight I wanted to do a different interview. I wanted to interview a fan after a show do give some perspective. One of my ghouls went to see Ghost and Iron Maiden at the Talking Stick Resort in Phoenix Az last night. Below is my interview with out very own Jay!
L: As a first time experience, how was Ghost and Iron Maiden Live?
J: It was definitely a night to remember on my behalf. Mainly because it was two great bands. Ghost, being one of my favorite bands touring along with the legendary and iconic Iron Maiden; there was no way I was missing it. They both put on great shows. Ghost has always been very theatrical with their outfits, scenery, and masks. Then there was Iron Maiden whose set was huge along with pyrotechnics, a six foot Eddy on stage, and massive props.
L: How was the venue?
J: I’m sure if that arena was any bigger, it still would have sold out. It was at the Talking Stick Resort arena in Phoenix. A first time for me being there and it was huge.
L: How was the atmosphere?
J: Very crowded when Maiden was getting ready to play, I’m sure I got contact high by some of the guys that were smoking pot, and it was a heavily energetic atmosphere too. It also varied with the sets. For example, when Ghost played they gave that atmosphere of a dance vibe with their latest hit Square Hammer, and then there were other times where you could just feel the beautiful and eerie chills with songs like Monstrance Clock and Cirice. Then there was Iron Maiden who gave all the energy they had to the crowd and of course we were all receptive of it. I’ll tell you, it’s an awesome feeling when the beats of the bass drum fall in sync with the beats of your heart.
L: As a fan of both bands, what were your favorite songs live?
J: Well if I have to narrow it down to two each, I’d have to say The Number of the Beast, and Fear of the Dark for Iron Maiden; and Square Hammer and Ritual by Ghost.
L: If you could change one thing from the event, what would it be and why?
J: That Ghost would’ve played Jigolo Har Megiddo. (Laughs). It’s one of my favorite songs by them and I would’ve loved to see them play it live. Other than that everything was perfect. Except some minor things that are inevitable when it comes to concerts, but that’s no big deal.
L: Rate your experience
J: Isn’t it pretty obvious? 10/10 rating by Jay.
L: What’s your conclusion?
J: Overall it was just beautiful to see all kinds of people coming together for a common interest. It always just goes to show that music really has no boundaries, walls, color, or shape—and Bruce really elaborated on that topic before breaking into singing Blood Brothers. I saw people my age just as excited for Iron Maiden—a band of the 70’s—as those who probably discovered them back in the day. Moral of the story is as always: there’s power in music. Enjoy it.
