A couple of years ago I was on a cheap'n'cheery package snowboarding holiday with some mates when we walked into the designated boarding gate to discover this (above) was the plane we were about to fly to Switzerland in.
HELL YEH.
To this day we don't know if Bruce was flying it (probably best considering the band's mad partying and touring antics) but it still made for one of the most metal holidays in history.
Now it seems the band is releasing a rock documentary inspired by their beloved plane and all it stands for. It was shot around the time of their Somewhere Back In Time World Tour in early 2008 and is said to be 'a revealing portrait of one of the world’s most successful rock bands and an inspirational and often humorous account of the chaotic world of a band on tour around the stadiums of the world'.
It's already won the “24 BEATS PER SECOND” award for best music documentary at the SXSW Film & Music Festival (Texas) and will premiering in London on the 20th April. Happy days.
