Metal Mondays: Nikki Stringfield — “As Chaos Consumes” @nikki_shreds

Happy Monday, metal heads. Guess what? Nikki Stringield, of Iron Maidens fame, has released a totally shredtastic single. You can buy it on iTunes today.

Also, check out the sweet guitar she’s playing in the promotional video.

Rock on, Nikki. Can’t wait to hear a whole epic album from you someday. I think we’re all ready for you to unleash some prog metal on us.

Monetizing Metal

Iron Maiden has figured it out (and shown prog the way):

Iron Maiden hired a BitTorrent analytics company called Musicmetric to determine where piracy of their music was highest, then scheduled tours of those countries. They made millions touring Central and South America.

And sometimes a smart band can be so popular that even tribute bands will go in and tour the places that remain.
