Lauren Harris to open for Maiden

[Sands Of Time]

On blabbermouth


Lauren Harris — daughter of IRON MAIDEN bassist Steve Harris — has been confirmed as the support act for IRON MAIDEN on the first leg of next year's Somewhere Back In Time World Tour.

Says MAIDEN manager Rod Smallwood, "We're very happy to have Lauren and band travelling with us again this year and be part of this great tour as after all she is literally part of the 'MAIDEN family.' Everywhere she performed with us last year she received a great reaction in front of both MAIDEN audiences and festival crowds as well and it's also good to have a support band along with us throughout this first leg of the tour as part of the travelling party our 757 which as you can see on the website is taking shape very nicely!"

Lauren toured all over the world while during 2006 and finished off last year with European tours with THE ANSWER and supporting ALICE COOPER in the UK. This year kicked off with a extensive European tour with WITHIN TEMPTATION.

Currently on a UK tour with THUNDER, Lauren will be putting the finishing touches on her debut album in the next few months.

Don't really give a toss what she sounds like, she looks great and is 'Arry's daughter, that is enough for me.

^Typical male comment haha so we are suppose to bow down and accept the pop whatever it is she sings music cuz she is Steves daughter...no thanks But better her support than some emo band

Yep!

Seriously, the support act doesn't matter to me.
I'm there to see one band and one band only

i'll be arriving from the pub just before Maiden come on stage by the looks of it. I'm normally all for supporting the support bands but her music I can do without.

[Wrathchild]

^Same, there is a bar at RLA? We can hang out there She may be ok for pop fans but it doesn't mix with Maiden, she may have an attractive figure and all that, but really pop music f!

just because she's related to someone all of us here highly respect for their music doesn't mean F**k all to me.i've heard her band and it has no place what so ever for metal fans to be subjected too.you might think i'm narrow minded but i have listened to just about all types of music,and i can honestly tell you METAL is all i enjoy listening too.and with that many different styles of metal i'm kept very interested

[Wrathchild]

^Correct! Quote stolen from imoc, Nothing against her but she should tour herself and people who want to see her could buy tickets. For $150 I expect some decent F**king metal bands to support.

[Sands Of Time]

It can't be any worse than the last few bands they've had as support over here. Judge Mercy and Boss were dreadful and Heaven were just ok.
But as i said before, who cares who is opening, we are seeing Maiden!!!!!!

[Mr Damage]

Oh well, looks like i'll be at the bar with Beetle & the rest of you

[madeinoz15]

I just read about her supporting maiden on the official site... Never heard any of her stuff, ill check out her myspace site, but im guessing i will be agreeing with most of yous by the sounds of it... darn it all

[skrabsta]

I told you all back when the tour was announced that she would be the support.


Now if only I could pick the power ball numbers that easily.

[TROOPER71]

who really gives a F**k people weve waited 15 F**king yrs for MAIDEN to come here now they are ans all we do is complain about who is support or what the set list is ffs WHO CARES MAIDEN ARE IN AUSTRALIA it could be FALLOUT BOT OR MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE OR 50 CENT i couldnt give a flying F**k im seeing MAIDEN in my home land (end rant)







but yeh they could do better than lauren
