It’s 1994. The Bosnian-Serbian conflict is still raging. Some cool dude from the UN peace keepers thinks it would be good to have a concert.
He contacts Bruce Dickinson and says, “wanna play a much needed gigin a warzone?”
Bruce says, “yes”.

Absolute legend
Oh yeah?
I’m TheFriar and not only am I the lead editor and content writer of this account I’m also:
- An arachnophobe
- A GED-haver
- First chair flautist in the Royal Inn Suites Orchestra
- a screenwriter
- A US Men’s national Team watcher (casual)
- a fence appreciator and connoisseur
- a PhD in the Get Down Sciences
- a life survivor (so far)
So…

Everything else seems to check out. He also performed in Sarajevo during the siege in 94 which is pretty fucking badass.
