Although not related, Iron Maiden was the first band I ever saw live back in 1984 on the World Slavery tour, Long Beach California. Good to see them taking advantage of tech to decide where to tour. Going after music pirates is a wasteful endeavor.
- r00fus 13y agoSome degree of "pirates" are just underserved customers. This is a good business move - especially if the brand is strong. Iron Maiden is a great example, a "thinking man's" metal band that often produced music inspired from famous books (Dune), movies (Where Eagles Dare) poems (Rime of the Ancient Mariner), and tv shows (The Prisoner). Their mascot is very distinguishable.
