Anyone who's been fortunate enough to witness an Iron Maiden show during the Bruce Dickinson eras knows that the mischievous frontman loves any opportunity to a) dress up and b) mess about a bit. Currently, the metal legends are blazing a trail across Europe courtesy of their epic Future Past tour, boasting a dazzling production and the chance for Maiden fans to indulge both in 2021's critically acclaimed Senjutsu and some rare cuts taken from 1986 favourite Somewhere In Time.
One of said rare cuts is anthemic fan favourite Alexander The Great, getting played live for the very first time on this tour, and it was during that song at a show in Prague earlier this month that Dickinson's penchant for tomfoolery resulted in a funny exchange with his partner in crime and Maiden bassist/band leader, Steve Harris.
