Back in November last year, when Eric Banana found out that Iron Maiden was going to perform in Singapore for the first time as part of their "The Final Frontier World Tour", he decided that there is no way he is going to miss this. But he wasn't too keen to go on his own, so he decided to ask his lovely wife. He knew it was a far shot since Astro Girl hates heavy metal music. The outcome was rather predictable - "NO."
Actually, none of Eric Banana's close friends enjoys listening to heavy metal music, so there was really no one he could turn to. He decided to ask his long-time buddy Vincent Goh - and he would be the first and last person Eric Banana was going to ask. Eric Banana was all ready to attend the concert alone. Vincent's response was classic: "I probably won't enjoy it, but I don't mind going for the experience." Eric Banana is definitely grateful :)
Eric Banana's first Iron Maiden album was a compilation - "Edward the Great". The music grew on him, and he has since bought the entire catalogue of studio and live albums. There are many Iron Maiden songs he likes but if he has to choose one, it has to be "Infinite Dreams" from their 1988 album "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son". For "The Final Frontier World Tour", Iron Maiden will mostly be playing their songs from the 2000's rather than those from the 1980's and 1990's. While Eric Banana prefers their older songs, there are some very nice hits from the 2000's as well.
Let the countdown begin...
