Rock and Roll StoriesMy personal Spinal Tap moment came when we got locked into the Festival Hall in London by accident. We ended up wandering the maze of backstage corridors carrying a three foot high piece of cheese looking for the one door that would lead us to salvation.
What goes on tour may stay on tour, but B3ta doesn't count. Tell us everything.

Adolescent health problemsWhen I was about 13, a schoolfriend, Ken, had a jazz-funk (in retrospect, rather sad for a teenager in 1984) band called "Phase 3". One Saturday evening he invited a load of us round to a concert at his house. Rock 'n' roll, we thought, as we went in clutching bottles of Woodpecker cider and Coke-with-aspirin (no, it doesn't work).
Halfway through the first song Ken got a nosebleed and we were all packed off home early. As we were going out one of the Iron Maiden fans present muttered wistfully, "I can't imagine Dickinson letting his fans down like that".
