A representative for Musicmetric, a company that does forecasting startup that analyzes BitTorrents and social media data, are refuting a report that IRON MAIDEN used the company's statistics to plan their tours.
A December 20 article on the CiteWorld http://www.citeworld.com/consumerization/22803/iron-maiden-musicmetric?page=0
tech blog stated that IRON MAIDEN used BitTorrent data to plan a concert tour in South America, implying that Musicmetric advised the band on where the most downloads were to plan a tour.
Musicmetric's PR, Andrew Teacher, has issued a statement stating they never worked directly with IRON MAIDEN and that the CiteWorld article is "sadly not substantiated."
"Musicmetric never said IRON MAIDEN had used its data to plan a tour — we simply said where the band was popular and stated that BitTorrent data generally, could be useful to see precisely where an act is popular."

Pittsburgh Music Magazine had an interview with ex-MISFITS guitarist Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein October 21. Check it out below.
