Dup\u0103 ce Turcescu a devenit viral cu rahaturile pe care le-a scris despre Metallica, \u015fi am f\u0103cut \u015fi eu c\u00e2teva glume reu\u015fite despre sponsorii lui Turcescu, mi-a scris un cititor c\u0103 \u00eemi sponsorizeaz\u0103 un bilet la Iron Maiden. Cic\u0103 eu merit mai mult\u0103 sponsorizare dec\u00e2t Turcescu sau ceva. Cum \u00eenc\u0103 nu a venit ziua \u00een care voi refuza s\u0103 merg la un concert legendar, evident c\u0103 am zis \u201ehallowed be thy name\u201d \u0219i am promis s\u0103 scriu despre concert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen mod normal, ceream un fee \u0219i pentru text, \u0219i cum omul era foarte binevoitor, probabil c\u0103 \u00eel \u0219i primeam, dar din nou: vorbim de Iron Maiden. Oameni care scriu istorie rock de 50 de ani. E o bucurie pentru mine s\u0103 \u00eei v\u0103d \u00een fa\u021ba mea, pentru c\u0103 au o v\u00e2rst\u0103 \u0219i nu \u0219tii c\u00e2t timp \u00eei mai ai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

S\u0103 \u00eencep cu o m\u0103rturisire. Nu \u00een\u021beleg atitudinea bucure\u0219tenilor legat\u0103 de ploaie. Ieri a plouat cu bulbuci – insert comentariu sugeranist \u201da\u0219a v\u0103 bate Dumnez\u0103u pe voi, satani\u0219tii\u201d \ud83d\ude00 – \u0219i prezen\u021ba \u00een sal\u0103 a fost mult mai pu\u021bin numeroas\u0103 dec\u00e2t m\u0103 a\u0219teptam. Fie nu s-au v\u00e2ndut bilete, ceea ce nu cred, vorbim totu\u0219i de Iron Maiden; fie a fost trope-ul clasic bucure\u0219tean: \u201dCum s\u0103 ies din cas\u0103 c\u00e2nd plou\u0103?\u201d Dar plou\u0103 cu ap\u0103, nu cu foc, Dumnezeule. Cum d\u0103 o mic\u0103 ninsoare, \u00eenchidem \u0219colile. Cum d\u0103 o ploicic\u0103, ne adun\u0103m ciotc\u0103 la gurile de metrou \u0219i f*tem timp aiurea st\u00e2nd degeaba, \u00een loc s\u0103 ne asum\u0103m un pic de ap\u0103. De parc\u0103 n-am avea prosoape acas\u0103. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Iron Maiden m-a\u0219 fi dus \u0219i dac\u0103 ploua cu p*le erecte. Cum s\u0103 dai 900 de lei pe bilet, apoi s\u0103 stai acas\u0103 c\u0103 picur\u0103 ni\u0219te ap\u0103 din cer? Dar hei, aici e Bucure\u0219tiul, capitala comodit\u0103\u021bii. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cei care totu\u0219i au avut veleit\u0103\u021bi de Ana lui Manole \u0219i s-au aventurat prin ploaie la concertul Iron Maiden au primit dublu avantaj, ca la abonamente de mobil, pentru c\u0103 \u00een deschidere a c\u00e2ntat Anthrax. Cumva e dureros c\u0103 una dintre cele mai mari trupe de thrash metal a devenit un opening act, dar pentru porcul de mine, a fost un cadou. Dou\u0103 trupe legendare la pre\u021b de una. \u0218i bonus, Anthrax au p\u0103rut extrem de ferici\u021bi s\u0103 fie pe scen\u0103, \u0219i au dat ce aveau mai bun, chit c\u0103 vocalistul Joey Belladonna nu mai e demult bun\u0103ciunea dup\u0103 care aruncau fanele cu sutienul. E cumva reconfortant c\u0103 \u00een 2026, \u00een era AI, c\u00e2\u021biva domni \u00een v\u00e2rst\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103 se urc\u0103 pe scena \u00een linii mari goal\u0103 – except\u00e2nd desigur instrumentele, amplificatoarele \u0219i cele necesare unui concert rock – \u0219i fac atmosfer\u0103 ca la un festival din 1987. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apoi, a \u00eenceput the main event: concertul Iron Maiden. Cu scenografia, proiec\u021biile \u0219i efectele speciale aferente unui mamut rock, construite \u00een a\u0219a fel \u00eenc\u00e2t s\u0103 accentueze complexitatea liric\u0103 \u0219i pe alocuri narativ\u0103 a versurilor lor. Cumva e amuzant c\u0103 dac\u0103 stai acas\u0103, cu o can\u0103 de cafea \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103, \u0219i ascul\u021bi Iron Maiden, spui \u201dda, c\u00e2t de smart \u0219i de poetic\u201d. Dar dac\u0103 e\u0219ti pe stadion \u0219i ascul\u021bi Iron Maiden, cedezi ritmului \u0219i \u021bop\u0103i ca o capr\u0103 sc\u0103pat\u0103 din \u021barc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i sufletul meu a c\u00e2ntat cu Bruce Dickinson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dac\u0103 la Metallica e vizibil\u0103 \u00eemb\u0103tr\u00e2nirea – nu \u00een halul \u00een care semnaliza Turcescu, dar da, nu mai c\u00e2nt\u0103 ca \u00een 2005 – concertul Maiden a fost at\u00e2t de bun, de \u00eenc\u0103rcat de energie acaparatoare, impecabil tehnic, impecabil artistic, cu un setlist fabulos, care a con\u021binut majoritatea hiturilor Maiden pe care le fredonai ca adolescent rocker – \u00eenc\u00e2t nici m\u0103car Turcescu nu ar avea ce rahat s\u0103 m\u0103n\u00e2nce. De\u0219i are exerci\u021biu \u0219i ar g\u0103si. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dickinson e \u00eentr-o form\u0103 fenomenal\u0103 \u0219i eman\u0103 un magnetism atemporal. Pe corpul lui zvelt, \u021binutele rock cu accente de glam arat\u0103 incredibil – c\u0103 dac\u0103 tot ai corp de fotomodel, de ce s\u0103 nu te \u00eembraci ca atare. Bonus: a c\u00e2ntat c\u00e2teva piese \u0219i cu masc\u0103 pe fa\u021b\u0103, ceea ce mi se pare c\u0103 e destul de dificil. Vocea lui unic\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103 duce vreo dou\u0103 ore de belting f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 fac\u0103 h\u00e2c. \u0218i \u00eemi place faptul c\u0103 nu ia pauze, c\u0103 nu bate c\u00e2mpii lung \u0219i aiurea – am o glum\u0103 cu c\u00e2nt\u0103re\u021bi pe care i-au respins la admitere la seminarul teologic, \u0219i s-au r\u0103zbunat apuc\u00e2ndu-se de muzic\u0103 s\u0103 \u021bin\u0103 predici enoria\u0219ilor pe scen\u0103. Ei, bine, Maiden nu e acolo. Oamenii se urc\u0103 pe scen\u0103, schimb\u0103 sporadic polite\u021buri cu mul\u021bimea, dar \u0219tiu c\u0103 rockerii nu sunt genul de audien\u021b\u0103 care s\u0103 rabde mult\u0103 gargar\u0103, prin urmare, \u00eei dau cu muzic\u0103, s\u0103 \u00eencing\u0103 atmosfera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i \u00eencins\u0103 a fost. N-am urlat \u0219i s\u0103rit a\u0219a din 2018 \u00eencoace. C\u0103 m-au lenevit doi ani de lockdown \u0219i al\u021bii doi de criz\u0103 politic\u0103. Iar c\u00e2nd publicul a c\u00e2ntat \u00een cor Fear Of The Dark, \u00eempreun\u0103 cu Dickinson, am pl\u00e2ns. Cu lacrimi, muci \u0219i batiste. M-am re\u00eentors \u00een adolescen\u021b\u0103, ca \u00een Ratatouille, doar c\u0103 eu nu am astfel de teleport\u0103ri pe m\u00e2ncare, ci pe muzic\u0103. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu \u0219tiu ce fac rockerii britanici s\u0103 se men\u021bin\u0103 at\u00e2t de p*zdo\u0219i \u0219i fizic, \u0219i vocal, dar sper s-o fac\u0103 mult timp de acum \u00eenainte. Pentru c\u0103 showurile lor sunt catarctice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
