Bullet for my Valentine to Support Maiden
"Almost a year after the original release of Bullet For My Valentine’s award-winning debut album ‘The Poison’, and after a year that has seen them supporting the likes of Metallica, Korn and Guns n’ Roses, as well as selling out their own headline tours of the UK and Japan and ripping up the circuit of Europe’s heavier summer festivals, Bullet For My Valentine are thrilled to be heading back to North America as special guests of Iron Maiden.Says Matt Tuck, “We are stoked we are going to be supporting Maiden in the US, we're all huge fans and have so much fuckin’ respect for them - it's going to be an honour. Plus, we can't wait to meet Eddie!”
The band will then return to Europe and the UK for their own set of headline shows which will see the celebration of the end of a tumultuous year for the band.
The Welsh quartet have recently headlined The Metal Hammer Awards 2006, picking up the gong for Best UK Band in the process (adding to their Kerrang! gong for Best British Newcomer in 2005), played the main stage at the Download festival, Donington ahead of Funeral For A Friend and Guns n’ Roses, and are currently winning new friends in the US on the Warped Tour before readying themselves to play the main stage at the Reading and Leeds Carling Weekend on their return.
Charts-wise, this summer has seen the third single to be lifted from ‘The Poison’, ‘Tears Don’t Fall’ to again go top 40 and ‘The Poison’ album re-issue gain even more praise (The Sun 5/5, Kerrang 5/5) upon its release and worldwide album sales fly past the half a million mark."

Topic:Iron Maiden Confirm North American Tour Dates !
Accompanying Iron Maiden on the USA tour (excluding Los Angeles) are new UK metal sensation, Bullet for My Valentine, who have been receiving rave reviews while on tour with Guns N’ Roses throughout Europe.
Glad I dont live in US, Trivium are much better than Bullet live, I've seen Bullet twice now and they were rubbish both times :( Was very dissapointed

I agree with RealWorld, this has been known for a while...
