Remember that Power Trip festival back in October that saw some of the world’s biggest bands play massive sets in Indio, California? The one where Metallica, Judas Priest, Tool, AC/DC, Guns N’ Roses, and Iron Maiden threw down on three separate nights? What a wild concept. And apparently to Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson, it was a strange gig right from the start.
