What's very strange is that my dad's name is Eddie and he was born in 1976 the same year Eddie the mascot was last seen, even my dad listens to Iron Maiden.
I just looked this up because I'm living in Belfast now and have learnt about people being very sensitive with what flags people choose. Since this is the song Bruce usually takes out the flag of the country he's in, I was curious as to what they would do. I think this might be the only place where Bruce uses a flag of the tour and not of a country. Still, excited to see them again next year. It will be my 9th or 10th time seeing them live, I believe!
You have great taste! I was around your age when I got into Maiden and Metallica. I'm glad your first concert was such a good one and what a great way to spend your birthday! Thanks for your comment.
I've been into metallica since I was in 2nd grade and now I'm 13 and every year I got older I would listen to more heavier stuff. When I was in 2nd grade I started with thrash and then heavy metal and then metal core and then black and death metal and now I'm into brutal death metal such as the band syphilic. you should listen to them. th-cam.com/video/gJnHHFw1blE/w-d-xo.html
Excuse me, i had been expected to be at this concert. Unfortunately I was away on holiday. Was at the last concert in Dublin which was fantastic! How come you can fly the flag in Dublin, and not in Belfast?? Don't bow down to controversy!! British band lads!!
Belfast is in northen Ireland which has been a divided area for a long time. Alot of the people identify as British and alot identify as Irish. There used to be alot of violence over it before the good Friday agreement. But just to play it safe, Bruce just uses an iron Maiden flag.
in 1853 Franco-British invaders came from thousands of miles away from their France and England to the shores of the Crimea and tried in 1854 to capture the Russian Crimea - for them it was over "Balaklava meat grinder" and the destruction of the flower of the English aristocracy in the composition of the light brigade at Balaklava "Valley of death" ( as they later called it a massacre). For the whole of England and the bandit family of Windsor, this day has become and still remains a terrible tragedy and a disaster all blatantly monarchy. Blatantly it was filmed, written historical works and tragic poem by Tennisonom and other Anglo-stihoplyuy. Half a mile in dust, Uncontrollably forward, In Death valley Jump all the six hundred. - Brigade, forward! - Guns! - Lord commands. In Death valley Jump all the six hundred... Alfred Tennyson Even today, the British rock band "Iron Maiden" has a song "The Trooper" dedicated to this tragedy of the British lords, peers and Sirs in the Balaclava valley. The composition "The Trooper" of the fourth Studio album heavy metal band Iron Maiden Piece of Mind is dedicated to the British tragedy - the Balaklava massacre. The lyrics describe a failed attempt to attack the British cavalry brigade through the eyes of a British cavalry officer who dies from a Russian infantryman's shot. 25 Oct 1854. (new style) Russian detachment under the command of General Liprandi made an attack on progressive strengthening of the British and the Turks in the valley of Balaklava. After a short battle , the bayonet and hand-to-hand fight, the Turks and the British are cowardly and shamefully fled. The Russians captured 11 British naval guns, methodically shooting Sevastopol. The remaining British and French troops hurried to their aid. The situation has stabilized, some balance has come. Russian troops occupied the heights on both sides of the Balaklava valley, and in General their position resembled a horseshoe. That's just inside this "horseshoe" and sent the chief of the British army Lord Raglan their elite troops - a brigade of English cavalry, consisting of the English aristocracy - with orders to recapture the captured Russian guns. Lord Raglan's order was accepted by the immediate commander of the cavalry brigade, Lord Cardigan, and the infamous attack was carried out. In 11 hours and 10 minutes over 670 riders of the light brigade of the British aristocracy tried to attack forces of the Russian army and in a few minutes was destroyed by Russian gunners and cavalry. British attack was undertaken under the cross-fire of the Russian artillery, and on the way back, fled in panic of the British was pursued by another Russian cavalry. At 11.35 it was over for the British lords and Sirs of the light cavalry.... The stunned French General Bosque, who was watching this drama, exclaimed: "It's great, but it's not war, it's madness and the destruction of the English aristocracy!". Russian General Liprandi at first could not believe that all the British officers were not drunk.... Of the 673 British cavalrymen, lords and Sirs, who tried to attack the Russians in the Balaclava valley, only less than 150 were able to escape and get out of there alive. Also fell on the battlefield about 500 magnificent horses. In the bitter opinion of the commander of the cavalry division Lord Leken, killed the best brigade that ever left the coast of England. At the same time Balaklava valley, where the battle took place, in English history began to be called the "Valley of death".
Justin OConnor the Union flag is part of the bands image for a very long time. Eddie the Trooper has featured on some of the most bloodthirsty loyalist murals with corpses of dead Fenians at his feet. If you like their music, look past the imagery. Plenty of English people enjoy Irish rebel music.

My only question here is how can the guy In the costume be that tall that’s just impossible.😆
It's Eddie. Eddie is big.

Bruce I love you since 88 I'm from N Ireland putting the British flag in Belfast isn't very smart. All it does is isolate a community.
