Official T-shirts and clothes: A Matter Of Life And Death world tour 2006, Nordic event t-shirt with dates on the back.



This one, in my opinion is one of the best artworks ever made. It was originally produced for a special event t-shirt made for the Scandinavia shows of the AMOLAD 2006 world tour. Later on they produced more of this, so , this one probably is not the one that was sold at the shows, but is definitely official licensed by Bravado, its stated that on the shirt, and the bootleggers never copy this details.
The responsible for the artwork is the French artist, Hervé Monjeaud.
You have to have this in your hands guys, I mean...the Eddie with the swords, the shields, and those helmets with the horns, wow!!! Fuckin brilliant!!
To avoid you guys being cheated check the tag, the manufacturer of this one was: Hanes.
The manufacturer of the one sold at the venues I was told it was from Fruit Of The Loom.

On the back the guy who is injured is the one that is lying on the ground on the right side , if you are seeing the shirt from the front, very funny this shirt and one of the best ever made.

Official T-shirts and clothes: Somewhere Back In Time World tour 2008 second leg.Red Canadian event t-shirt, the one banned by Canadian authorities.





Guys, I received while ago this amazing t-shirt from the infamous Somewhere Back In Time World tour 2008.
This shirt was made for the 6 shows Maiden gave in Canada in the second leg of the tour. Shows were in this cities: Vancouver June 3, Calgary June 5, Edmonton June 6, Regina June 8, Winnipeg June 9 and Montreal June 21.
Now, this shirt has a story. Hervé Monjeaud, the French artist who made all the event t-shirts for this tour, painted Eddie playing hockey with the red uniform of the Canadian National team, I think, and on the Eddie shirt there's the official logo of the team, Maiden, sadly didn't ask permission to use that logo, the Canadian authorities at Winnipeg venue find out, didn't like it at all and pulled out the rest of it, fortunately by this time they were almost sold out.
After this, to compensate this mistake, Maiden made again the t-shirt, this time the Eddie uniform was blue ( this one was just sold at Montreal venue), and instead of the previous logo Hervé painted the eye of Horus, the symbol you see in this photo bellow.



I have to say that I fall in love for this shirt once it came out, its so damn cool, I simply love it, this on Ebay sometimes go for 300 Dollars, mine cost me 198 Dollars with shipping costs included.
The back side is so cool, its Eddie with the hockey disc in his mouth inside the Canadian logo flag, ehehe... The front of the shirt is obviously based on the Seventh Son and Eddie artwork and behind Eddie you can see a Canadian city, Toronto, completely frozen, awesome!!!!!

Official T-shirts and clothes: Somewhere Back In Time World tour 2008, L.A., The Forum event t-shirt, 19th February.




Guys, I received while ago another super cool shirt from the tremendous Somewhere Back In Time 2008 world tour.
This shirt was made for the L.A., The Forum, show and presents Eddie sculpting his star on the Hollywood walk of fame, well, in my opinion it was about time Eddie, you deserve mate, if Sharon Stone has one, you must have it too Eddie...eheheheh...
No, seriously, this is one of my favourites from this tour and fortunately I bought it at a very reasonable price, 60 Dollars with shipping, wow!!
The guy who sold it to me was very cool, because I won the L size and he changed to the size I fit better, XL. Some persons on the Internet are so easy going, and others are so mean, stupid and jealous...
This artwork was made by the great French artist, Hervé Monjeaud.
To avoid you guys being cheated check the tag, the manufacturer was: Tennessee River.

Official T-shirts and clothes:Somewhere Back In Time Moscow 19th August 2008 event t-shirt with date on the back.




Hey guys, I received today this wonderful event t-shirt made for the Moscow date of the now legendary Somewhere Back In Time 2008 world tour.
The artwork was made again by the great French artist Hervé Monjeaud, I mean, this guy has so cool ideas for Eddie, why isn't he painting the single and album covers? I don't understand...
Eddie is holding some figures that are traditional Russia dolls, called Matryoshka, these are figures that inside have another one, equal, but the size gets shorter until the last one is a tiny tiny little one, very interesting, you can learn much more about this if you go to this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matryoshka_doll
If you see carefully the Background is the Kremlin and the Kremlin watch marks 2 Minutes To Midnight, ehehehehe...why Hervé had this idea...? Eheheheh...
Also, this was a great deal, I bought it for 70 Dollars with shipping included, ehehehehehehe...who is always a lucky bastard, hei?
Now, boys and girls, this shirt has two copyright marks, one on front and another one on the back, on the letter N of Maiden, check that to avoid being cheated, also check the manufacturer on the tag, it must be from "Modern".
Many thanks to Artyom, the seller of this shirt, who kindly gave me a DVD with the Moscow show recording, great man, many thanks!

Official T-shirts and clothes:Somewhere Back In Time World Tour 2008/2009 Final leg, last show in Miami, Florida 2/04/09. One of the only 700 made.


Boys and girls, I received while ago ( 13/04/2009) , this wonderful shirt of the final show in Miami of the monstrous Somewhere Back In Time World Tour 2008/2009.
This shirt was a limited pressing since they only made 700!!! The merchandise stands opened at 7:00 of the afternoon, at 7:15, they were officially sold out, every single one!! Once more I can't understand this decisions because 700 is a small number compared with the persons that attended to the show, maybe more than 15.000!!! I would like to ask if the management of this band think its cool the fans running like crazy from stand to stand trying to get a shirt? I think its not, so please, Mr. Rod Smallwood, stop doing this please,and start making more shirts, also, this management has to think that a great deal of persons buy the shirts to sell them on Ebay at ludicrous prices, so , once more, a good excuse to press more shirts, the fans deserve much more respect!!!
Another thing that annoyed me a lot is that this shirt has a very basic spelling error, if you look carefully you will see that the answer doesn't fit on the question. Instead of the answer " if so I was there", should have been, "if so I'll be there", because the question is about something that didn't happen yet.
I would also take the chance to ask if this kind of things can start to be think more seriously? Its the name of the band who is on the line, and this mistakes are very awful, as well as very basic.
Ok, saying this doesn't make this shirt anything bad, the shirt is absolutely phenomenal!! Again made by the French artist Hervé Monjeaud, is based, I believe, in the 80's serie, "Miami Vice", where Don Johnson had an alligator on his boat, ehehehh...
I mean, this shirt is so so cool mates, you have to have one in your hands to understand what I'm talking here. On the back we have Eddie resting a bit and having some pints of wine. On the front artwork if you look carefully, we can see one albatross passing by over Eddies head, eheheh...
This shirt has two copyright marks, one on the front, on your right side at the bottom, and other on the back, again in your right side, at the bottom of the artwork.
To avoid you guys being cheated remember to check the tag, the manufacturer of this shirt was: Anvil.
The shirt cost me only 40 Dollars, ehehehe...who is always a lucky bastard hei?Ohhh, the giant rat is furious at this moment, all about jealous and hate that idiot!
Special and many thanks to my dear New Yorker friend, Justin Perrone, who bought me this shirt at the venue, you FUCKING ROCK BRO!!!!


Official T-shirts and clothes:"Flight 666" movie documentary. Maiden shop edition with back print.




Wow guys, this is the official shirt Maiden made to promote the great movie documentary, "Flight 666".
Be very careful when you buy one, always check if it has this back print, there are some around with no artwork on the back, and I don't know if they are official, probably not.
This is another great artwork but this time made by the great Derek Riggs.
Its so funny, we can see Bruce Dickinson horror face about the whole thing, and on the front of the plane there's this phrase: " Have a nice day", ehehehe...yeah right Eddie...
There's two copyright prints, one in the front bellow Flight 666,in blue letters, saying: "Iron Maiden Holdings Ltd under exclusive license to Bravado. All rights reserved."And the other one on the back bellow the
days saying just: "Iron Maiden Holdings" , in white letters.
To avoid being cheated remember to check the tag, the manufacturer of this shirt is Gildan.
