Supersonic rock

A Young English boy called Tyler Greatrex sat up in his bed after hearing noises from outside his bedroom window. So the six-year-old St Peter’s school lad got up and looked outside and received the shock of his little life for his dad was climbing out of a rocket. The Lego enthusiast had a huge smile on his face and wondered what his daddy Lee was up to. He picked up his Lego American space shuttle and thought to himself,
“Oh, daddy what’s going on? Has my epic rocking pops got a new job that I don't know about? Where did he get that mega-rocket from? Hay I can see some words on the side, it says; Iron Maiden, who are daddy Lee’s favourite band. Is he working for the greatest heavy metal band on the Earth?”
The next morning Tyler went downstairs to get his breakfast ate his golden nuggets and drank apple juice, but as he sat around the table with his mummy, daddy and little sister; Rebecca he decided to keep quiet about what the football fan had seen his dad doing the night before and would speak to Lee Shocklidge Greatrex tonight about what he saw.
Tyler knew his dad owned an epic record shop called; Attitude Records that was full of Lee’s favourite music; rock and heavy metal, but his real passion was the band Iron Maiden and hoped one day he'd be allowed to work for his Idols.

It was now 530pm and the Greatrex family from Dorset England were eating tea while Jenny Louisa Greatrex; Tyler's mummy, who put on Daddy Lee’s favourite long-play record called; Brave New World by Iron Maiden. Jen told her children that their daddy had an announcement to make.

So the 30-year-old runner said to Tyler and Rebecca his fabulous news. The Man had a mouthful of Earl Gray tea and swallowed it, then began,
“dearest Tyler and Rebecca I have something monumental to tell you! I wrote to the Iron Maiden manager about a job to become a roadie and Mr Rodney Smallwood accepted my application. The friendly and honest Englishman had no idea where this new career would take him and Where the concerts would be around the world, but he was beyond excited.
One day the singer of Iron Maiden; mr. Bruce Dickinson phoned Lee and explained they wanted to get in the Guinness World Record book for being the first artist to play a Concert on the moon and would the family man consider taking all the equipment in a spaceship up to the moon so they could play a gig for the entire planet to see and make history? So Lee agreed excitedly.
Tyler couldn't believe his dad's luck and was so happy for him that not only had he gotten the job of his dreams, but now he was helping his favourite band make history.

After Tyler and Rebecca went to bed that evening their daddy loaded up all the drums, guitars, speakers and microphones into metal boxes onto the rocket and prepared to blast off to the moon. As Lee was too busy to notice a little six-year-old boy sneaking on board the vehicle and hide under a blanket Tyler wanted to be part of the action and didn't want to miss the epic adventure into space and seeing Maiden play the very first gig on the moon, regardless of how dangerous it might be. He found an extra space suit and without being spotted put it on along with a helmet. He then climbed under the blanket and braced himself for lift-off.
Eleven hours later the rocket set down upon the moon and the iron Maidens rodie climbed out of the space vehicle and lifted the equipment onto the surface of the moon. It had special magnets attached so they wouldn’t float off in zero gravity.
As Lee lifted Dave Murrey’s white Stratocaster guitar onto the moon he saw a figure in the back of the rocket. He put down the musical equipment and went to investigate and to his horror discovered it was his son. He shouted for the 6-year-old to get his backside out of the rocket and explain his actions.
So little Tyler jumped up and down and grabbed onto the ladder that went down to the surface.
Lee was extremely worried for his beloved son, but not angry for he knew his son was a Maiden fan and wanted to be part of this most epic gig in history. He explained to his little lad,
“ Don’t you realise how dangerous it is to Stow away on the rocket just to see your dad working for his favourite band and seeing the most incredible Iron Maiden gigs of their career? Well, I guess you’re here now so you can make yourself useful and help me set up the equipment so that when the boys blast off from Cape Canaveral tonight they can just pick up their equipment and play for the whole world to see. So please open the boxes, and pass me the musical instruments But be extra careful.”
So the father and son got the equipment and set it up on the awesome constructed stage and everything was set for the band to play.
Suddenly a weird-looking square spaceship landed next to the stage. Out popped three red and orange four-headed seven-armed and nine-foot tall alien creatures. These people from another word said,
“ Blip ay snop tenoois?”
Lee and his son looked in utter disbelief and both said together,
“Aliens cool, finally we now know that we are not alone in the universe!”
Tyler had begun to shake a little with the fear of the unknown and said,
“Dad, do you think these creatures are friendly or hostile?”
Lee grabbed hold of his son's hand shared a beaming smile and said,
“I would hope they want to be friends and not fight otherwise it's a long way to come just to start a conflict.
Suddenly the leader who was purple and yellow hovered over the moon's surface and landed next to the father and son in a shocking statement it said,
“We want to rock!”
Both Lee and Tyler fell onto the hard rocky floor laughing hysterically at the alien's desire.
Lee slowly walked over to the alien leader and said,
“Welcome friend we mean you no harm, we have the tools to rock but listen the greatest band of any time and space are due to assend to this moon in a matter of hours, so your welcome to stay and watch. Can my son and I play you a song first?”
Snip, the alien leader was astounded at this news and after his technology worked out English, he was able to speak with the rocking man and boy. It said,
“Wow, Iron Maiden are coming to play here? They are known on all our 27 words across the cosmos. Thank you for the invitation and please play us your favourite song by the guys.”
Lee looked at Tyler picked up Dave Murrey’s guitar and put the strap around his neck Tyler found Nico Mcbrain’s drumsticks and together said,
“So you want to rock, do you? Well here is our favourite Maiden song; Dream of Mirrors and is just for you!”
Tyler shouted,
“1. 2.3.4 Lets rock!!!!”
Then they rocked like they were the real Iron Maiden, Lee sang and played the guitar, while Tyler belted out some epic tunes on the famous drum kit.
Lee Greatrex sang; “dreaming in black and white to stay alive! I only dream to stay alive! Lost in a world of mirrors, lost in a dream of conflict, let's make it a happy place. I only dream of saving us from ourselves”.
The aliens were rocking out, but then the band of Bruce Dickinson, Steve Harris, Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, Nicko McBain and Janick Gers stepped out of their space rocket from NASA and cheered their roadie and his son. They then invited Lee and Tyler to watch the concert from the side of the stage, live on the moon.
The band played a blinding set and the first song for the aliens was out of the Silent Planet and then Brave New World. They even had Eddie the head, their mascot who walked with heavy boots on all around the moon and into the craters at the end of the gig, some pyrotechnics like fireworks that went off and they continued with the songs Fear of the Dark and their anthem song Iron Maiden. All the people around the world and those on trans seven, the alien world were overwhelmed at the amazing rocking music. Tyler and his dad had their dreams well and truly come true and not only did they get to go into space and land on the moon, but they also got a bird's view of the greatest band on and off the planet.

Tyler was able to meet the band and hang out with the guys after the show and he asked them lots of questions. Nico played a tune on the drums with the lucky lad and everyone was really happy. The band broke the world record for the first concert live on the moon and all the funds raised from people watching on the Earth went to lots of charities
Tyler went back to school and told all his friends that I’ve seen the first aliens from space as well as met the greatest metal band in all the world. Lee continued to be a roadie for Maiden while teaching his son guitar and even Nick taught him the drums, When he had five minutes to spare.

The young man grew up and formed a band in the style of Iron Maiden and they were called the Undisputed.
