Metal Telly Night on BBC4
Mar 05, 2010, 18:13
For those of a heavy riffular leaning, BBC4 have gone metal for the night from 9pm. Probably a mixed bag as these things often are, but it'll be nice for those of us of a certain disposition to see some footage of bands you never see on telly.

ps. Watched Iron Maiden: Flight 666 last night. Bascially a rockumentary travelogue of their jaunt to far off places that bands don't go to very often, amongst other locations; in their own jet and piloted by their singer, which you have to admit is pretty convenient for 'em!

Really enjoyed it. Plenty of almost inevitable Spinal Tap moments but you'd have to have the hardest of hearts not to be moved by the reaction of some of the crowds in lands that just don't get big gigs like that. It was amazing to see fans going mental and in raptures in places like Mumbai and Costa Rica and Colombia just cos Maiden were playing. One guy was in tears just cos HIS band had made it to play in his country. It was quite moving really.
Makes you realise how jaded we can become and how we can take things for granted with gigs and albums pretty much on tap here in the UK.
