Titolo: Iron Maiden - Raccolta fondi per Clive Burr

Eccovi il comunicato stampa ufficiale sulla raccolta fondi in favore
di Clive Burr, ex batterista degli Iron Maiden, malato di sclerosi
multipla:
Auction launched to raise funds for former drummer, Clive Burr
Following three fantastic sell out nights at London's Brixton Academy;
record breaking merchandising sales and a phenomenal chart breaking
success with the single 'Run To The Hills', Iron Maiden are proud to
announce that they have already raised approaching a quarter of a
million pounds sterling for the Clive Burr MS Trust. Both EMI Records
and Zomba Music Publishers have also kindly donated their profits from
their side of the single. Seen here are key UK EMI Executives with
Manager Rod Smallwood backstage at Brixton Academy presenting the band
and Clive Burr with their cheque.
The sequence of events leading to the shows was the sad news last year
that ex-member and friend, Clive Burr, revealed he was suffering
Multiple Sclerosis while being interviewed for a documentary about
their legendary 'Number Of The Beast' album. The band immediately
rallied together and performed the three special shows in London to an
audience of fans that had traveled from the four corners of the world
to show their support. All profits from the three shows were placed in
the The Clive Burr Multiple Sclerosis Trust which is a fund that will
not only help Clive and MS sufferers, but will also contribute to
vital research into the debilitating disease which affects so many
people.
To help raise more funds the band have decided to release from their
own archives some very exclusive Memorabilia from their career
spanning over 20 years to help raise further funds for the trust.
Maiden's drummer Nicko McBrain is kindly donating his monster full
performance Drum Kit.(Picture Nicko on stage with Kit)
The drum kit is his full Full 31 Piece Signia Marquee Premier Kit
including Paiste Cymbals and is a chance of a lifetime opportunity to
bid for a large piece of rock history. The kit has been used by Nicko
on tour, at Festivals, TV performances (including their recent
performance of 'Run To The Hills' on Top Of the Pops) and drum clinics
around the world spanning the last 8 years. The kit comes with stands
and the drums are in Hardcase cases.
For the guitarists there is a Fender Stratocaster 'Iron Maiden'
Signature Series Guitar signed by all members of the band including
ex-drummer Clive Burr. The Iron Maiden guitars are part of a Limited
Edition Stratocaster made by Fender to the specifications given by
Dave Murray, Janick Gers and Adrian Smith. The Stratocaster features
Seymour Duncan Pickups and Locking Floyd Rose Tremelo (picture : Clive
Burr signing guitar).
For the first time the band have decided to make available to the
public an 'Eddie' stage prop from their 'No Prayer from the Road' Tour
which is truly monstrous. The construction features an eight-foot high
Eddie head and shoulders and two arms which were part of the Stage set
where Eddie emerged from a huge on stage coffin similar to the No
Prayer Album cover.
The band have raided their storage facility and have unearthed rare
Monsters Of Rock posters from their 1988 Headlining Monsters of Rock
shows in France, Italy and Spain as well as a very rare 1985
Powerslave Tour poster for their sell-out shows at Radio City Hall in
New York.
Also up for grabs are some exclusive Clive Burr Event T shirts from
the recent London Brixton Academy, which have been signed by the
entire band and Clive Burr, and 20 signed copies of the Limited
Edition Event Postergrammes. These items were signed specifically for
this auction and are only available at the action - you will not find
these signed items anywhere else in the world!
This is the only official Iron Maiden auction and all the items are a
must for eager collector. All proceeds will go to the Clive Burr
Trust.
The auction will commence at Midday 12pm (GMT) on June 28th on EBay
and will run for 10 days to give everyone plenty of opportunity to
bid. The auction items will be listed on the Charities page on
www.ebay.co.uk
 and will also be also listed on 
www.Ebay.com
 Full
information on each of the items, including photographs, will be
posted on the bands website,

 with direct links to
the auction on Friday 28th June.

multimiliardari chiedono ai loro propri fans soldi. vergognatevi.

20.000????

:(((((((((((((

 20.000????
 
Gli Iron Maiden hanno devoluto tutto l'incasso dell'operazione Run To The
Hills, la stessa EMI UK ha rinunciato alla sua quota mi pare. In pratica
tutti i soldi pagati dai fan per quei singoli sono andati alla fondazione
anti-sclerosi intitolata a Clive. E non č poco.
Oltre all'intero incasso della serie di concerti di beneficienza (tre mi
pare) fatti per la stessa ragione.
Che poi si potesse fare di piů se ne puň parlare, personalmente devo dire
che hanno fatto comunque un gesto non da poco (di solito da queste
operazioni togli una quota con cui si paga chi la organizza, purtroppo).
Non so poi quanto abbiano deciso di dare "personalmente", ovviamente.
See you,

senti, niente di personale verso gli iron, ( li ascolto da una vita)
ma ho le palle piene di questa ipocrisia! hanno devoluto l'incasso?
sai che tragedia x loro, mica sono soldi loro.........
dai insomma, basta con tutti questi musicisti che fanno concerti di
beneficenza. cosa ci rimettono loro? suonano ( spesso pagati), fanno
bella figura ma sono i ragazzini che tirano fuori i spiccioli ( che
poi applaudono i loro idoli x i loro buoni sentimenti).
ma che bravi!!!!
uffff
p.s. non pensate male, a me dispiace un sacco x Clive.


 che tragedia x loro, mica sono soldi loro.........
 
Infatti ho anche detto che non so se poi hanno anche fatto qualcosa più
personalmente, per quanto ne so potrebbero anche aver fatto delle
donazioni personalmente. Quello che posso dire con certezza è la questione
su Run To The Hills.
Non che poi i soldi che Harris può donare "direttamente" vengano da fonti
diverse dai fan degli Iron, tra parentesi :D

AAAH!
l'arbitro!!!
