We have an excellent looking mailbag this week and your Adrian Smith top 10 song lists are brilliant. We’re recording on Thursday, so you still have 2 days to get yours in. Anyway, here’s a photo of Adrian being silly.

Can anyone get this to Ian Knebworth?
HEY!!! Who knows anyone connected at all to Iron Maiden’s Knebworth date? We really want to do a pub quiz at Eddie’s Dive Bar. Can you help? Pass us on to anyone? Please repost this and reach out to any Maiden contacts you have, whether they’re fans, gig promoters, metal journos or bass players.

Unlike those cowardly englishmen iron maiden, Blaze Bayley is playing Belfast today and I’ve never felt so emotionally invested in a gig I’m not at before.
Good morning! I’m going to listen to Silicon Messiah for the first time, but I can’t be bothered pressing play. So instead, I’ll just pop over to Belfast and ask Blaze to perform it all for me.
