  3. Iron Maiden in Ottawa

    not sure where you were Ollie.. for the start I was pretty close to the front, just right of centre stage (great location in many respects) but a couple of times we had these guys rushing the front using a very interesting tactic. One guy would literally be used as a snowplow with a couple of his buddies pushing him, back first, through the crowd, but doing it at top speed. I'm amazed I saw no one get hurt or trampled.

    Lame!

    the CD Release pumping was a bit annoying for sure.

    I thought the show kicked off hard with the first four tunes. As much as I find El Dorado to be rather uninspired, I thought it worked really well live, great energy and the crowd seemed to really dig it.

    Mid set didn't work for me, and only the real die hards seemed to still be paying attention. I was up front for the start of the show but due to a small medical issue with someone in our party we moved back to just behind the sound tent. It was quieter there and no longer being surrounded by card carrying members of the Iron Maiden fan club meant that it was hard to really get back into the show until they hit Fear Of The Dark and launched into their classics.

    All in all it was still a fun night out. The band still has great energy and chops and the stage set up was great. Could have used some pyro though :)

    I heard the dropped Passchendale due to them not being able to get the timing right..

    maybe they used their two day break to practice up?

    for those of you who have seen the setlist.. I'm worried about midset with this heat... worried it's going to suck the life out of the crowd

  21. RIP Guru

    New York-born MC Guru has died at age 43 after a battle with cancer, according to a number of media reports.

    Guru, whose real name was Keith Elam, had been in a coma since March.

    The rapper was best known for his Gang Starr partnership with DJ Premier in the 1990s and 2000s. In recent years Guru had been touring and collaborating with producer Solar.

    "I, Guru, am writing this letter to my fans, friends and loved ones around the world. I have had a long battle with cancer and have succumbed to the disease. I have suffered with this illness for over a year. I have exhausted all medical options," the rapper wrote in a letter that was posted on website allhiphop.com

    The letter also cited that Guru's current collaborator and producer Solar would have responsibility of Guru's artistic legacy. The letter also takes aim at former collaborator DJ Premier.

    "I do not wish my ex-DJ to have anything to do with my name likeness, events tributes etc. connected in anyway to my situation including any use of my name or circumstance for any reason and I have instructed my lawyers to enforce this. I had nothing to do with him in life for over 7 years and want nothing to do with him in death. Solar has my life story and is well informed on my family situation, as well as the real reason for separating from my ex-DJ."

    I'm playing an off the cuff show at Duffy's Tavern in Richmond Ontario tomorrow for St. Paddy's

    Just wanted to through that out there in case there were some peeps in that part of the world looking to get their Irish on.

    Expect the typical pub songs with a couple other surprises thrown in for shits and giggles.

    It's gonna be loose.. but hopefully everyone will be drunk enough that it won't matter :)
