Iron Maiden World

Given the success of Nicko McBrain's hand-filled questionnaire, here are the questionnaires filled out by the other members of Iron Maiden in 1983 during the World Piece Tour.

We learn that Steve's biggest impression on his career is no longer Rod Smallwood that he mentioned on the first questionnaire that he filled the year before (1982). (See last photo.)

"Sid Gusset" was a nickname for Dave Murray an inside joke within the band. Dave often checked into hotels under this name so as not to be recognized/disturbed. Sid can also tame a lamb !!

As for the questionnaire filled out by Adrian, unfortunately I can't get my hands on it anymore, all my archives (photos, films, backstage passes, questionnaires, items, etc.) are so old that have trouble getting my hands on them. But we can clearly see that Adrian was drunk while flling out my questionnaire.

Too bad because it looked interesting, judging by the look on Dave's face as he watched Adrian struggle to concentrate on his answers.

Here's the same questionnaire from Steve Harris, this time filled out in 1982 during the Beast on the Road tour. I originally created these questionnaires specifically for Steve-not just to get an autograph, but to establish some kind of connection with him (since Steve was like a god to me). At the time, I was an 18-year-old Belgian fan who barely spoke English.

It worked out better than I could have imagined: Steve invited me to a private after-show party during the World Piece Tour, gave me bass lessons on my own Fender Precision, and granted me all-access passes and backstage privileges for every tour that followed. Steve is truly incredible with fans-a genuine rock legend!
