  • The Iron Maidens Am 27
    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 21.05.2015 The Iron Maidens am 27. April in der Markthalle Wenn The Iron Maidens auf die Bühne treten, geht die Post ab. Eine der populärsten Metal-Bands der Welt, gecovert von fünf jungen Frauen – Sängerin Kirsten Rosenberg a.k.a. Bruce Chickinson, die Gitarristinnen Courtney Cox a.k.a. Adriana Smith und Nikki Stringfield a.k.a. Davina Murray, Bassistin Wanda Ortiz a.k.a. Steph Harris und Schlagzeugerin Linda McDonald a.k.a. Nikki McBurrain –, das ist schon etwas ganz besonders und hat das Quintett zu einer der beliebtesten Tribute-Bands überhaupt gemacht. Das ist natürlich ein großer Spaß. Aber nicht nur. Denn auch wenn da ein gehöriger Teil Humor und Ironie im Spiel sind, ist die Show der Iron Maidens genauso grandios wie die der großen Vorbilder. Selbstverständlich sind das niedliche Maskottchen Eddie und der Grim Reaper dabei, theatralische Elemente sind ebenso vertreten wie großartige Multimedia-Teile. Vor allem aber, und das steht bei all dem im Mittelpunkt, sind die Musik und die Musikerinnen allererste Sahne. Sie haben alle schon vor den Iron Maidens Banderfahrung gesammelt und beherrschen ihre Instrumente hervorragend. Allein die Gitarrensoli und die Arbeit der Rhythmusgruppe sind das Kommen wert. Auf der anderen Seite haben sie die Songs ihrer Vorbilder, Hits wie „The Number Of The Beast“, „Two Minutes To Midnight“ oder „Run To The Hills“ ebenso wie unbekanntere Stücke, voll verinnerlicht und rocken wie das Original. Und zum dritten, das merkt man bei jedem Auftritt, haben The Iron Maidens Spaß an dem was sie da tun, und geben diese Freude uneingeschränkt ans Publikum weiter.
