It was looking pretty great before this announcement. Started off well with Skunk Anansie but I'd rather play pinata with my balls then watch the other new confirmations.

Maiden have not confirmed their special guests for Sonisphere 2010. Been a fan for 31 years. One day someone else will have to take the mantle....greatest band the world has ever seen.... maybe the lads from Dream Theater should persuade Maiden to support them at Knebworth...after all they are touring with them in the USA. Wishful thinking..
