Video: Iron Maiden Play Arena Football

You are a classic, arena-stalking 10-legged metal machine. You're playing the Garden and your sh*t is so heavy that you manage to blow the speakers. What do you do to entertain the throngs of heshers, burnouts and old-school metal heads while the problem is dealt with? You play ball. [via BrooklynVegan]

Iron Maiden Rocks All Out With a Ball Out
Published 6/18/2008 by David J. Warner at FanHouse
... Sunday, Iron Maiden was playing heavy metal that rocked the faces off of 20,000 people at Madison Square Garden. Then suddenly ... silence. The sound system went dead. So how do the band members keep the crowd entertained for 10 minutes while the technicians fix the problem? They have a kickabout on stage, of course. They're from East London, so it's just comes naturally to them. By the time the sound had been fixed, Iron Maiden had beaten Derby County, 2-0. (H/T: Brooklyn Vegan)Permalink | Email this | Comments
