Exodus to Open for MaIden in Chile
BraveWords.com reports that thrash metal giants Exodus will open for Maiden at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago, Chile on April 10 2011.Says guitarist Gary Holt: "We had two shows left on the Thrash Fest Tour, everybody was tired and burned out, and then I got word that Exodus will open for the one-and-only Iron Maiden in Chile! Best news ever! Just unbelievable! There's no one bigger than Iron Maiden in South America. I've seen the DVD footage of their shows down in that part of the world, and to actually get to open for them ANYWHERE is amazing! But down there? Absolutely spectacular! We’ll be playing Santiago with my heroes - a band whose songs we were covering at backyard parties - in front of 65,000 people! Suddenly we all got a big second wind! Stoked beyond belief is an understatement!"
