D-day Dawns!!

Iron Maiden, the gods of metal are finally in India and slated to perform at Palace Grounds, B'lore tomorrow.. and from what i hear, they've brought more than just a plane-ful of their gear along! people said that the costs involved were so high, we'd have cactuses in our homes for Christmas trees before Maiden would ever perform in India.. the paramedics are gonna have to come in to get those people's foot out of their mouths now.. cause guess what, IRON MAIDEN ARE HERE and they are gonna BURN THE FRIGGIN' STAGE DOWN tomo night!!
on a slightly more sedate note, there's two things i'm not happy about..
1) Being the good student i am supposed to be, i have to stay back in Pune and give a project presentation that is so vital, I'll fail my post-grad if i don't give it.. other than that there was nothing that could possibly stop from going to B'lore to watch the Gods in flesh!!
2) one of the band from INDIA thats gonna open for Iron Maiden is called FtN. the band is from Delhi and they won the Campus Rock Idols '07. i'd been to the finals, cause they were held at Elysium, Pune and i've listened to them play live. i have to admit they are decently tight (and i've been listening to an mp3 copy of Provoke Me for the last three days continuosly.. hehe). i mean if they won the CRI07 they gotta be good, right? and they are!
but then again.. they are a nu-metal band. oooooohhh! that changes the equation terribly doesnt it? they played KORN and Rage Against The Machine Covers at the CRI..
then again, look at the other opening acts..
a) laureen harris, the daughter of steve harris, the bassist of Maiden ( and i have NO idea what kinda music she's into, but then hey, look at the lineage!)
b) parikrama - no comments, except " is this some kinda joke??"
is an amateur nu-metal college band with just two original compositions, and a rock and roll band, all that India has to offer to the absolute GODS of HEAVY METAL?
