Iron Maiden are an English heavy metal band from Leyton in east London, formed in 1975. The band are directed by founder, bassist and songwriter Steve Harris. Since their inception, the group has released a collective total of thirty albums: fourteen studio albums; seven live albums; four EPs; and five compilations. Pioneers of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Iron Maiden achieved success during the early 1980s and, after several lineup changes, the band went on to release a series of platinum and gold albums. These include the US

Iron Maiden platinum-selling landmarks The Number of the Beast in 1982, Piece of Mind in 1983, Powerslave in 1984, the acclaimed live album Live After Death in 1985, Somewhere in Time in 1986, and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son in 1988. Their second most recent studio effort, A Matter of Life and Death, was released in 2006 and peaked at number nine on the Billboard 200 and at number 4 in the UK and is also one of the few rock albums to be certified platinum in India. Their newest album, The Final Frontier, will be released on August 16, 2010.[2] As one of the most successful heavy metal bands in history, Iron Maiden have sold over 75 million records under EMI and a total of over 100 million records worldwide with almost no radio or television support.[3] [4] [5] [6] The band won the Ivor Novello Award for international achievement in 2002,[7] and were also inducted into the Hollywood RockWalk in Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California during their United States tour in 2005. As of October 2009, the band has played just over 2000 live shows during their career. For the past 30 years, the band has been supported by their famous mascot, "Eddie the Head", who has appeared on almost all of their album and single covers, as well their live shows.

History Early years (1975–1978) Iron Maiden was formed on Christmas Day 1975, by bassist Steve Harris, shortly after he left his previous group, Smiler. Harris attributes the band name to a movie adaptation of The Man in the Iron Mask from the novel by Alexandre Dumas, which he saw around that time, and so the group was named after the iron maiden torture device.[8] Steve Harris and guitarist Dave Murray remain the longest-standing members of Iron Maiden. Original vocalist Paul Day was fired as he lacked "energy or charisma onstage".[9] He was replaced by Dennis Wilcock, a Kiss fan who utilised fire, make-up and fake blood during live performances. Wilcock's friend Dave Murray was invited to join, to the frustration of guitarists Dave Sullivan and Terry Rance.[10] This fueled Harris to temporarily disunite the band in 1976,[10] though the group reformed soon after with Murray as the sole guitarist. Iron Maiden recruited another guitarist in 1977, Bob Sawyer, who caused a rift between Murray and Wilcock, prompting Harris to fire both Murray and Sawyer.[11] A poor gig at the Bridgehouse in November 1977, with a makeshift line-up including Tony Moore on keyboards, Terry Wapram on guitar, and drummer Barry Purkis resulted in Harris firing the entire band.[12] Dave Murray was reinstated and Doug Sampson was hired as drummer. Wilcock then formed the band V1 with former Maiden guitarist Terry Wapram.

Rise to fame (1978–1981) A chance meeting at the Red Lion pub in Leytonstone evolved into a successful audition for vocalist Paul Di'Anno. Steve Harris has stated, "There's sort of a quality in Paul's voice, a raspiness in his voice, or whatever you want to call it, that just gave it this great edge."[13] Iron Maiden had been playing for three years, but had never recorded any of their music. On New Year's Eve 1978, the band recorded a demo,[14] The Soundhouse Tapes. Featuring only four songs, the band sold all five thousand copies within weeks.[15] One track found on the demo, "Prowler", went to number one on Neal Kay's Heavy Metal Soundhouse charts in Sounds magazine.[15] Their first appearance on an album was on the compilation Metal for Muthas (released on 15 February 1980) with two early versions of "Sanctuary" and "Wrathchild".

3 From late 1977 to 1978, Murray was the sole guitarist in the band until Paul Cairns joined in 1979. Shortly before going into the studio, Cairns left the band. Several other guitarists were hired temporarily until the band finally chose Dennis Stratton. Initially, the band wanted to hire Dave Murray's childhood friend Adrian Smith, but Smith was busy with his own band, Urchin.[16] Drummer Doug Sampson was also replaced by Clive Burr (who was brought into the band by Stratton). In December 1979, the band landed a major record deal with EMI.[17]

Iron Maiden's eponymous 1980 release, Iron Maiden, made number 4 in the UK Albums Chart in its first week of release,[18] and the group became one of the leading proponents of the New Wave of British The Soundhouse Tapes Heavy Metal movement.[19] In addition to the title track, the album includes other early favourites such as "Running Free", "Transylvania", "Phantom of the Opera", and "Sanctuary" — which was not on the original UK release but made the U.S. release and subsequent re-releases. The band played a headline tour of the UK then went on to open for Kiss on their 1980 Unmasked Tour's European leg. Iron Maiden also supported Judas Priest on select dates. After the Kiss tour, Dennis Stratton was dismissed from the band as a result of creative and personal differences.[20] Stratton was replaced by Adrian Smith in October 1980. In 1981, Maiden released their second album, titled Killers. This new album contained many tracks that had been written prior to the release of the debut album, but were considered surplus. With songs already created well in advance during tour, only two new tracks were written for the album: "Prodigal Son" and "Murders in the Rue Morgue"[21] (the title was taken from the short story by Edgar Allan Poe).

Success (1981–1986) By 1981, Paul Di'Anno was demonstrating increasingly self-destructive behaviour, particularly through alleged drug usage, although Di'Anno himself denies the charge.[22] His performances began to suffer, just as the band was beginning to achieve major success in America. At the end of 1981 the band dismissed Di'Anno and sought a new vocalist. Bruce Dickinson, previously of Samson, auditioned for Iron Maiden in September 1981 and joined the band soon afterwards. He then went out on the road with the band on a small headlining tour. In anticipation of the band's forthcoming album, the band played "Children of the Damned", "Run to the Hills", "22 Acacia Avenue" and "The Prisoner" at select venues, introducing fans to the sound that the band was progressing towards. Dickinson's recorded debut with Iron Maiden was 1982's The Number of the Beast, an album that claimed the band their first ever UK Albums Chart #1 record[23] and additionally became a Top Ten hit in Nicko McBrain has been Iron Maiden's drummer many other countries.[24] For the second time the band went on a world since 1982 tour, visiting the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, UK and Germany. The new line up, with Bruce Dickinson on vocals, was effectively introduced to the British public at large - by headlining the Reading Rock festival, on Saturday night over the August Bank Holiday 1982. A new and hugely successful chapter in Iron Maiden's future was cemented.

Iron Maiden The Number of the Beast tour's U.S. leg proved controversial when an American conservative political lobbying group claimed Iron Maiden was Satanic because of the new album's title track.[24] The band members' attempts to stop the criticism failed. A group of Christian activists destroyed Iron Maiden records (along with those of Ozzy Osbourne) as a protest against the band. Dickinson at the time was still having legal difficulties with Samson's management, and was not permitted to add his name to any of the songwriting credits. However, he was still able to lend "creative influence" to many of the songs. In a Guitar Legends interview he claims he contributed to the overall themes of "Children of the Damned", "The Prisoner" and "Run to the Hills". In December 1982, drummer Clive Burr ended his association with the band due to personal and tour schedule problems. He was replaced by Nicko McBrain, previously of French band Trust. Soon afterwards, the band journeyed for the first time to The Bahamas to record the first of three consecutive albums at Compass Point Studios, and during 1983 released Piece of Mind, which reached the #3 spot in the UK, and was the band's debut at the North American charts, with a #70 at the Billboard 200.[25] Piece of Mind includes the successful singles "Flight of Icarus" and "The Trooper". Soon after the success of Piece of Mind, the band released Powerslave on 9 September 1984. The album featured fan favourites "2 Minutes to Midnight", "Aces High", and "Rime of The Ancient Mariner",[26] the latter based on Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem of the same name and running over 13 minutes long. The tour following the album, dubbed the World Slavery Tour, was the band's largest to date and consisted of 193 shows over 13 months. This was one of the largest tours in music history - playing to 3,500,000 people over the course of 13 months.[27] Many shows were played back-to-back in the same city, such as in Long Beach, California ( 4 consecutive sold out shows to summary audience of 54 000 fans), where most of the recordings were made for their subsequent live release Live After Death which has since become one of the best selling metal live albums and is often regarded by critics and fans as the one of the best hard rock/heavy metal live albums ever. Iron Maiden also co-headlined (with Queen) the Rock In Rio festival, where they performed to an estimated crowd of 300,000 festivalgoers.[6] This tour was physically gruelling for the band and they took a 6-month vacation when it ended. This was the first vacation in the band's history, including even canceling a proposed supporting tour for the new live album.[28]

Experimentation (1986–1989) Returning from their vacation, the band adopted a different style for their 1986 studio album, entitled Somewhere in Time. This was not a concept album, though it was themed loosely around the idea of time travel and associated themes - history, the passage of time, and long journeys. It featured, for the first time in the band's history, synthesised bass and guitars to add textures and layers to the sound.[29] Though considered different from the norm of Maiden sounds, it charted well across the world, particularly with the single "Wasted Years". The experimentation evident on Somewhere in Time continued and was apparent on their next album, entitled Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, which was released in 1988. Adding to Iron Maiden's experimentation, it was a concept album featuring a story about a mythical child who possessed clairvoyant powers. For the first time, the band used keyboards on a recording, as opposed to guitar synthesisers on the previous release. Critics claimed this produced a more accessible release.[30] It became the band's second album to hit #1 in the UK charts. During the Donington Park Festival on August 20, 1988, attendance was placed as 107,000; the biggest crowd attendance in the festival's history. Other performances in the festival include Kiss, David Lee Roth, Megadeth, Guns N' Roses and Helloween.[31] In 1990, to end Iron Maiden's first ten years of releasing singles, they released The First Ten Years, a series of ten CDs and double 12" vinyls. Between 24 February and 28 April 1990, the individual parts were released one-by-one, each containing two of Iron Maiden's singles, including the B-sides.

Upheaval (1989–1994) In 1989, after touring with Iron Maiden, guitarist Adrian Smith released a solo album with his band ASAP entitled Silver and Gold. During this break in 1989, vocalist Bruce Dickinson began work on a solo album with former Gillan guitarist Janick Gers, releasing Tattooed Millionaire in 1990. Soon afterward, Iron Maiden regrouped to work on a new album, Adrian Smith left the band due to a lack of enthusiasm. Janick Gers, having worked on Bruce Dickinson's solo project, was chosen to replace Smith and became the first new team member in seven years. The album, No Prayer for the Dying, was released during October 1990.[32] The band obtained their first (and to date, only) UK Singles Chart number one successful single with "Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter", originally recorded by Dickinson for the soundtrack to A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child. It was released on 24 December 1990, and was one of the first records to be released on several different formats with different B-sides. The single holds the record for being the fastest release to reach number one and then lose any chart rating again over the following couple of weeks.[33] Dickinson performed a solo tour in 1991 before returning to studio work with Iron Maiden for the album Fear of the Dark. Released in 1992, the album was noticeably longer (due to this being Iron Maiden's first album recorded for CD rather than LP) and had several songs which became fan favourites, such as the title track and "Afraid to Shoot Strangers". The disc also featured "Wasting Love", one of the band's softer songs, and the #2 single "Be Quick or Be Dead". The album featured the first songwriting by Gers, and no collaboration at all between Harris and Dickinson on songs. The extensive worldwide tour that followed, included their first ever Latin American leg (after a single concert during the World Slavery Tour), and a being the headline act of "Monsters of Rock Festival" in seven European countries. Iron Maiden's second performance at Donington Park, gathering near to 80,000 festivalgoers, originated the album and video release Live at Donington.[34] In 1993, Bruce Dickinson left the band to further pursue his solo career but agreed to remain for a farewell tour and two live albums (later re-released in one package). The first, A Real Live One, featured songs from 1986 to 1992, and was released in March 1993. The second, A Real Dead One, featured songs from 1975 to 1984, and was released after Dickinson had left the band. He played his farewell show with Iron Maiden on 28 August 1993. The show was filmed, broadcast by the BBC, and released on video under the name Raising Hell.

Blaze era (1994–1999) In 1994, the band auditioned hundreds of vocalists, both famous and unknown before choosing Blaze Bayley, formerly of the band Wolfsbane. Bayley had a different vocal style from his predecessor, which ultimately received a mixed reception among fans.[35] After a two year hiatus (and three year hiatus from recording - a record for the band at the time) Iron Maiden returned in 1995. Releasing The X Factor, the band had their lowest chart position since 1981 for an album in the UK (debuting at number 8). The album included the 11-minute epic "Sign of the Cross", the band's longest song since "Rime of the Ancient Mariner". It also included "Man on the Edge", based on the movie Falling Down and "Lord of the Flies", based on the novel of the same name. The band toured for the rest of 1995 and 1996, playing for the first time in Israel and South Africa,[36] before stopping to release The Best of the Beast. The band's first compilation, it included a new single, "Virus". The band returned to the studio for Virtual XI, released in 1998. Chart scores of the album were the band's lowest to date,[37] failing to score one million worldwide sales for the first time in Iron Maiden's history. At the same time, Steve Harris assisted in remastering the entire discography of Iron Maiden up to Live at Donington (which was given a mainstream release for the first time) and released the set.

Ed Hunter, Brave New World, Dance of Death (1999–2005) In February 1999, Bayley left the band by mutual consent. At the same time, the band surprised their fans when they announced that both Bruce Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith were rejoining the band, and that Janick Gers would remain. Iron Maiden now had three guitarists and a hugely successful reunion tour, The Ed Hunter Tour. This tour also supported the band's newly released greatest hits Ed Hunter, which also contained a computer game of the same name starring the band's mascot.

Iron Maiden's first studio release after the reunion with Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith came in the form of 2000's Brave New World. Thematic influences continued with "The Wicker Man" — based on the 1973 British cult film of the same name — and "Brave New World" — title taken from the Aldous Huxley novel of the same name. The world tour that followed consisted of well over 100 dates and culminated on 19 January 2001 in a show at the Rock in Rio festival in Brazil, where Iron Maiden played to an audience of around 250, 000.[38] This performance was recorded and released on CD and DVD in March 2002 under the name Rock in Rio. Following their Give Me Ed... 'Til I'm Dead Tour in summer 2003, Iron Maiden released Dance of Death. The release of this, their thirteenth studio album, was met by critical and commercial success worldwide. Some critics also felt that this release matched up to their earlier efforts such as Piece Of Mind and The Number Of The Beast, including their darker imagery rather than the more upbeat reunion album. As usual, historical and literary influences continued, "Montsegur" in particular being about the Cathar stronghold conquered in 1244 and "Paschendale" relating to a significant battle during World War I. The supporting tour for this album, named Dance of Death World Tour was another landmark for the band, as they played to over 750,000 fans during 50 dates over a period of 4 months in 2003-04. This included sold out dates in South America, Europe, North America and Japan. Their performance at Westfalenhalle in Dortmund, Germany, as part of the supporting tour, was recorded and released in August 2005 as a live album and DVD, entitled Death on the Road. In 2005, the band announced a tour to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the release of their first album, Iron Maiden, and the 30th anniversary of their formation. The tour also was in support of the 2004 DVD entitled The Early Days and as such during the tour they only played material from their first four albums. As part of the celebration of their early days, the "Number of the Beast" single was re-released and went straight to number 3 in the UK Chart. The Early Days World Tour included many stadium headline dates and festivals including their historic performance at the Ullevi Stadium in Sweden, playing to almost 60,000 fans. This concert was also broadcast on satellite television all over Europe to over 60 million viewers. Iron Maiden's last Ozzfest performance on the 20th of August 2005 at the Hyundai Pavilion, was at Glen Helen in San Bernardino, CA to almost 50 000 people. The band completed this tour by headlining the Reading and Leeds weekend festivals on the 26th[39] 28 August - two shows to combined number of people estimated 130 000, and Ireland 31st August to almost 40 000 fans at RDS Stadium.[40] For the second time, the band played a charity show for former drummer Clive Burr's Clive Burr MS Trust Fund charity.

A Matter Of Life And Death (2005–early 2007) In Autumn 2006, Iron Maiden released A Matter of Life and Death. While the album is not a concept album,[41] war and religion are recurring themes in the lyrics throughout, as well as in the album's artwork. A successful tour followed, during which they played the new album in its entirety; though response to this was mixed.[42] [43] Iron Maiden recorded a live session at Abbey Road Studios for Live from Abbey Road in December 2006. Their performance was screened in an episode alongside sessions with Natasha Bedingfield and Gipsy Kings in March 2007 on Channel 4 (UK) and June 2007 on the Sundance Channel (USA).[44] In November 2006, Iron Maiden and manager Rod Smallwood announced that they were to end their 27-year-old relationship with Sanctuary Music and were to start a new company named Phantom Music Management. No other significant changes were made. The second part of the "A Matter of Life and Death" tour was dubbed "A Matter of the Beast" to celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Number of the Beast album, and included appearances at several major festivals worldwide.[45] The band announced plans to play five songs from A Matter of Life and Death and five from The Number of the Beast as part of their set but in fact played only four songs from The Number of the Beast. They played in the Middle East for the first time at the annual Dubai Desert Rock Festival in 2007 playing to 20,000 fans. They made their first appearance in India with a concert in Bangalore aptly called Eddfest, playing to over 45,000 people at the Bangalore Palace Grounds. This event marked the first time any major heavy metal band toured the Indian sub-continent. The band went on to play a string of European dates, including open air festival performances and mostly stadium-sized gigs. In England, they headlined the Download Festival at Donington Park for the fourth time in their career. The show attracted a record breaking number of attendees, estimated as near to 80,000 die-hard festival-goers despite higher ticket and camp-place prices than in recent years.[46] On the 24 June they ended the tour with a performance at London's Brixton Academy in aid of The Clive Burr MS Trust fund.

Somewhere Back in Time World Tour, Flight 666, The Final Frontier (2007-present) On 5 September 2007, the band announced their Somewhere Back in Time World Tour,[47] which ties in with the DVD release of their Live After Death album. The setlist for the tour consisted of successes from the 1980s, with a specific emphasis on the Powerslave era for set design. The tour started in Mumbai, India on 1 February 2008 where the band played to an audience of almost 30,000.

Iron Maiden

Iron Maiden's mascot, Eddie, is a perennial fixture in the band's science fiction and horror-influenced album cover art, as well as in live shows. Eddie was drawn by Derek Riggs until 1992, although there have been various versions by numerous artists including Melvyn Grant. Eddie is also featured in a first-person shooter video game from the band, Ed Hunter, as well as numerous books, graphic comics and band-related merchandise. In 2008, Kerrang! released an album, entitled Maiden Heaven: A Tribute to Iron Maiden, composed of Iron Maiden cover songs played by artists such as Metallica, Machine Head, Dream Dave Murray and Adrian Smith. Theater, Trivium, Coheed and Cambria, Avenged Sevenfold, and others who were influenced by Iron Maiden throughout their careers. Well over a half-dozen other Iron Maiden tribute albums (each featuring various artists) exist, including a piano tribute, an electro tribute, a black metal tribute and a hip-hop tribute. Iron Maiden songs have been featured in the soundtracks of several video games, including Carmageddon 2, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City, Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, SSX on Tour and Madden NFL 10.[69] Their music also appears in the Guitar Hero and Rock Band series of rhythmic video games. Iron Maiden songs have also appeared on the films Phenomena (called "Creepers" in the U.S.), and Murder by Numbers; while MTV's animated duo Beavis and Butthead have commented favorably on Iron Maiden multiple times. The band's name is named prominently (and repeated several times) in the songs "Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus and "Back to the 80's" by Danish dance-pop band Aqua. Punk rock band NOFX released a song titled "Eddie, Bruce, and Paul" on their 2009 album Coaster. This track tells the story of Iron Maiden, and is performed in the style of their early work. Weezer mentions them in the song "Heart Songs" from their 2008 self-titled "Red" album. The verse goes: "Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Slayer taught me how to shred..." The Sum 41 song "Fat Lip" contains the line "Heavy metal and mullets it's how we were raised, Maiden and Priest were the gods that we praised" Iron Maiden's music also helped Jesper Strömblad of In Flames to pioneer the melodic death metal genre, stating that he had wanted to combine death metal with the melodic guitar sounds of Iron Maiden.[70]

Claims of occult references In 1982, the band released one of their most popular, controversial and acclaimed albums, The Number Of The Beast. This led to Christian groups, particularly in the United States, branding the band as Satanic and unholy. Smashing and burning the band's albums in bonfires became common. In the 1990s the band was banned from performing in Chile for the same reasons (due to the influence of religious figures over the government). However, contrary to this belief, the band is not Satanic nor does it believe in the occult. According to the band the devil imagery which is linked with the band due to a few songs and their album covers is not connected with their religious beliefs and is not the focus of their music. In an interview included on Iron Maiden's DVD The Early Days, Steve Harris set the record straight by saying that he is not a Satanist. Possibly due to these controversies, the band's later albums moved away from those themes to notably less controversial ones, such as film and literature (the album Piece of Mind and songs like "The Prisoner", which was based on the British television serial of the same name, "The Wicker Man" and "To Tame a Land", based on the novel Dune), wars and world conflicts ("The Trooper", "Aces High" and "2 Minutes to Midnight"); historical themes ("Alexander the Great" from Somewhere in Time and "Run to the Hills") and even human fears and emotions

Iron Maiden are a British heavy metal band formed in 1975 by bassist Steve Harris. After several lineup changes, they settled on vocalist Paul Di'Anno, guitarist Dave Murray and drummer Doug Sampson. The band released an EP as a four piece, before hiring guitarist Dennis Stratton in 1979. Drummer Clive Burr replaced Sampson and the band released their self-titled debut album in 1980. Later that year, Stratton was replaced by guitarist Adrian Smith, due to musical and personal differences. During the tour supporting their sophomore effort, Di'Anno was fired from the band, due to excessive cocaine abuse. Vocalist Bruce Dickinson, who had just left his previous band auditioned for Iron Maiden in September 1981 and joined shortly afterwards. After the release of their third album, drummer Nicko McBrain replaced Burr, who left due to personal and tour schedule problems. This is considered by many as their quintessential lineup,[1] with which they released a series of high-impact works.[2] In 1990, prior to the recordings of their eight studio album, Smith left the band due to lack of enthusiasm with the musical direction it was taking. Janick Gers, an old friend of Dickinson who played on his debut solo album, became the new guitarist. This formation recorded one more album before Dickinson departed in 1993, in order to further

After releasing two studio albums, Bayley departed from the band by mutual consent, due to creative differences. In 1999, Dickinson and Smith rejoined Iron Maiden, which has since become a six-piece band, with three studio albums released by this lineup.

Paul Bruce Dickinson (born 7 August 1958) is a British singer, airline pilot, radio show host, fencer, author, and songwriter best known as the vocalist of the heavy metal band Iron Maiden. Dickinson performed for some local bands including Styx (not the American band of the same name) in 1976, Speed, (1977–1978), and Shots in early 1979. He then joined hard rock band Samson later in 1979, where he gained some popularity. In this band he went by the name of "Bruce Bruce." He left Samson in 1981, citing musical differences. Shortly afterwards, in 1981, Dickinson was hired as Iron Maiden's new vocalist, debuting for that band with the 1982 album The Number of the Beast.[2] During his time in that band, they issued a series of high impact releases,[3] resulting in Dickinson gaining worldwide fame, and becoming one of the most acclaimed heavy metal vocalists of all time.[4] Dickinson quit Iron Maiden in 1993 in order to pursue his solo career, being replaced by Blaze Bayley. Dickinson's solo work ranged a wide variety of heavy metal and rock styles. Dickinson rejoined Maiden in 1999 along with guitarist Adrian Smith. Since then, Dickinson has only released one more solo album, Tyranny of Souls. He is the older cousin of Rob Dickinson, lead singer of British alternative rock band Catherine Wheel. In his personal life, he is known for his criticism of drug use.[5]

Bruce Dickinson

Childhood Paul Bruce Dickinson was born in the small mining town of Worksop, Nottinghamshire. His mother Sonia worked part-time in a shoe shop and his father Bruce was a mechanic in the army. Dickinson's birth hurried the young couple into marriage. Initially, he was brought up by his grandparents; his grandfather was a coal-face worker at the local colliery and his grandmother was a housewife. This is referred to in his song "Born In '58" from the album Tattooed Millionaire. Dickinson started school at Manton Primary. Soon afterwards, when he was six, his parents moved from Worksop to Sheffield and he consequently had to go to a new school, Manor Top, which Dickinson disliked. After six months, his parents decided to move him out to a small private school called Sharrow Vale Junior. Of this period, he recalled "I grew up in an environment where it struck me that the world was never gonna do me any favours. And I had very few close friends, because we were always moving. I think that's partly why I grew up feeling like such an outsider. I didn't have an unhappy childhood, but it was unconventional, to say the least". He also has a younger sister named Helen who was born in 1963. He tried to isolate himself from her as much as he could when he was young, supposedly out of spite because she, unlike him, was a planned pregnancy and birth. Dickinson's first musical experience was dancing in his grandparents' front room to Chubby Checker's "The Twist". The first record Dickinson recalls owning was The Beatles single "She Loves You" which he managed to persuade his granddad to buy him. "I was only four or five but I really loved that scene, The Beatles and Gerry & The Pacemakers. ... I noticed they had B-sides, and that sometimes I liked them even more than the A-sides. That was when I first began noticing the difference between 'good' music and 'bad'." He believes that this marked the beginning of him thinking like a musician. He tried to play an acoustic guitar belonging to his parents, but it blistered his fingers. By this time, Dickinson's parents were earning a good living from selling estate. A lot of Dickinson's childhood was spent living on a building site, until his parents bought a boarding house where his father sold second-hand cars off a forecourt. The income from their business success gave them the opportunity to give Dickinson—then 13 years old—a boarding school education and they chose Oundle, a public school in Northamptonshire. Dickinson enjoyed being away from home. "I didn't particularly enjoy being with my parents, so I saw it as an escape. I think it was because I hadn't built any real attachment to them when I was very, very young." At Oundle, however, Dickinson was picked on and routinely bullied by the older boys of Sidney House, the boarding house that he belonged to. His interests at Oundle were often military. He co-founded the school wargames society with Mike Jordan, and he rose to a position of some power in the Combined Cadet Force. Oundle was also where Dickinson became attracted to heavy rock. He has said :"I was 13 when I first heard Deep Purple's In Rock album, and it just blew me away! I heard this thing coming out of someone's room one day, and I went in and said 'Whoa! What's that?' And they just looked at me disdainfully and went 'It's "Child in Time" by Deep Purple. Don't you know anything?' But I was too amazed to care. The first album I ever bought was Deep Purple in Rock, all scratched to fuck, but I thought it was great." Dickinson obtained bongo drums from the music room and practiced. Dickinson remembers trying to learn "Let It Be". Other than this tinkering though, he never learned an instrument at school, and as far as his contemporaries can recall, he could not read music. Any technical musical skills that Dickinson now possesses were acquired after his stay at Oundle. In an episode of BBC2's Seven Ages of Rock, Dickinson said in interview that, like Sinatra's "My Way", Iron Maiden's "Run to the Hills" was based on "rising sixths". Whether or not his illustration was correct, it has to be said that Dickinson knew nothing about rising sixths when he left Oundle. Dickinson was later expelled from Oundle for urinating in the headmaster's dinner. Neil Ashford, his co-urinator, was rusticated; that is, sent home for the rest of the term rather than being permanently excluded from the school, on the grounds that the contribution to the headmaster's peas had been Dickinson's idea. Returning home to Sheffield in 1976, Dickinson enrolled at a local Catholic comprehensive school, although not a practising Catholic himself.

Bruce Dickinson In the summer of 1976, he joined his first band. He had overheard two other pupils talking about their band and that they needed a singer. Dickinson volunteered to do the vocals. They rehearsed in the drummer's father's garage and the band were impressed by Dickinson's singing. It was at this point Dickinson decided to buy a microphone. The first gig Dickinson's new band did was at the Broadfield Tavern pub in Sheffield. Originally called "Paradox," the band changed name upon Dickinson's suggestion, to "Styx", unaware of the American act with the same name. They made local newspaper headlines when a steel worker was awoken by their performance. Of the incident, it was said: "He bottled the guitarist and chucked the drums off-stage." Soon after, the band split up.

University After leaving his school Dickinson didn't really know what he wanted to do. He joined the Territorial Army for six months, which he did not enjoy. As army life was not what he wanted, he applied for a place at University. He had met the minimum grades for getting in and read history at Queen Mary College, in London's East End. His parents wanted him in the army, but he told them that he wanted to get a degree first. "That was what they wanted to hear so that was my cover story. When I got down there I started immediately finding and playing in bands." In college, Dickinson got involved in the Entertainments Committee. "One day you'd be a roadie for The Jam, the next you'd be putting up the Stonehenge backdrop for Hawkwind or whatever." In 1977, Dickinson met a guy called Paul "Noddy" White. He was a multi-instrumentalist and he had a PA and other equipment. Dickinson suggested that, along with drummer Steve Jones, they form a band together. This would eventually evolve into the band "Speed", described by Dickinson as sounding like a 'crossover between Judas Priest and The Stranglers with a Hammond organ on top of it.' Dickinson recalled: "It had nothing to do with taking speed, we were a completely drug-free band, we just used to play everything ridiculously fast. Like speed metal, but ten years too early." Dickinson was the vocalist and occasionally played guitar. "I got Noddy to give me guitar lessons and I ... started writing stuff straight away. He showed me three chords and I'd write stuff just from those three chords." Speed didn't last long, but it encouraged Dickinson to continue to work to be a musician. Dickinson spotted an ad in Melody Maker with the caption "Singer wanted for recording project". Since he had never been near a recording studio he replied immediately. He "wailed, wolfed, hollered and made noises" onto a tape and with it went a note that read; "By the way, if you think the singing's crap, there's some John Cleese stuff recorded on the other side you might find amusing." They liked what they heard and Dickinson came down to the studio. The band was called "Shots" and were formed by two brothers, Phil and Doug Siviter. They were amazed by Dickinson's vocal abilities and they started talking about what music they liked. "I started saying Ian Gillan, Ian Anderson, Arthur Brown, and Doug goes, 'That's it! Fucking Arthur Brown, man! Sometimes your voice is a dead ringer for Arthur! We've got to form a band.' This guy's got a studio and he wants to form a band with me! I was like 'Yes'." A song "Dracula" from this session can be heard as the closing track on The Best of Bruce Dickinson, disc two. According to Dickinson, this song is first thing he ever recorded. Dickinson played pubs with Shots on a regular basis. One particular night, Dickinson suddenly stopped in the middle of a song and started interviewing a man in the audience, heckling for not paying enough attention. He got such a good response he started doing it every night until it became a regular routine. "Suddenly everybody was paying attention, cause they might be next. The first time I did it, afterwards the landlord of the pub was like 'Great show, lads, see you next week'. So we started sort of building this bit into the show. And that was when I first started to get the hang of, just not being a singer, but being a frontman, too." The next step in Dickinson's career was taken in a pub called the Prince of Wales in Gravesend, Kent, where Shots were playing regularly. One night, Barry Graham ("Thunderstick") and Paul Samson paid a visit. The legend says that Thunderstick, who was there in his every day guise, became the victim of Dickinson's gimmick. "He looked a bit weird so I did a spiel on it". Obviously impressed with his stage-act, Thunderstick and Samson talked with Shots after the performance. A couple of weeks later, Samson called and asked him if he was willing to join their band, Samson. Dickinson was interested since this meant he could play larger gigs in London. Dickinson wanted to "do

26

Bruce Dickinson things with a bit of a weird edge to it." By then, Shots had almost become a heavy metal comedy act; the show had completely taken over the music.

Samson: 1979—1981 In my naïveté I thought people who were in rock 'n' roll bands were great artists, and it was a huge shock to the system to realise that they weren't, that they didn't even aspire to be, really. Some of them did, maybe, but some of them, like Samson, were very frightened of the idea. —Bruce Dickinson.[6] In a gig by hard rock band Samson at Bishop's Stortford, Dickinson came onstage and performed one of their songs, "Rock Me Baby".[7] He was offered the job as the band's vocalist immediately.[7] They released their debut album, Survivors, in 1979 on an independent label. Dickinson did not appear on the original version, as it had been completed two months before he joined them.[6] During his time in Samson, he went by the name "Bruce Bruce", derived from Monty Python's Bruces sketch.[6] The other band members knew they had improved things by hiring Dickinson, but it took some time for the fans to "catch up".[7] Dickinson was shocked after finding out that all rock performers were not as great artists as he had thought them to be.[6] Most of them, like Samson, didn't think of popularity, but just "to have a good drink, a good shag, and take some drugs". It was very difficult for him to relate to that kind of living.[6] He had smoked before, but in Samson it was more like a habit. Dickinson had to smoke joints in order to communicate with other band members. He called it, "the price that had to be paid", as it was a step towards his goal —being a rock n' roll singer. The band released two more albums with Dickinson - Head On and Shock Tactics. However, after Samson encountered numerous difficulties, Dickinson departed in 1981.

Iron Maiden Beginnings: 1981—1993 Maiden worked to a time table. A table that wasn't absolute but it had to be stuck to. "Now you'll write for six weeks, now you'll make a record for three months, now you're rehearsing for two weeks, now you'll tour for eight months." It was organized like that and that seemed to suit the style of writing of the band. — Bruce Dickinson at Gino, Stockholm.[8] Dickinson auditioned for Iron Maiden in September 1981, singing a version of "Remember Tomorrow", from their self-titled debut album, to which the band members answered "Hey... you got the job".[9] Maiden had a strict and organized routine that suited the band's writing style, which Dickinson described as a "time table".[8] After a few gigs, Maiden started writing new material for their third album, The Number of the Beast, released in 1982. In the wake of Samson's contractual problems, Dickinson couldn't be credited on the songs.[6] He called it a "moral contribution", referring to the fact that the contribution that he had made to the songs was equal to those of the other band members.[6] The album was a major success, topping the UK charts,[10] The band embarked on a supporting tour around the globe. On the following albums, 1983's Piece of Mind and 1984's Powerslave, Steve Harris's song-writing monopoly was pushed aside in favour of other members' ideas.[6] Dickinson contributed a number of songs, including the singles "Flight of Icarus" and "2 Minutes to Midnight".[11] During the World Slavery Tour, as part of the new theatrical elements, Dickinson wore a feathered mask during "Powerslave".[6] This was the band's longest-lasting tour to date, where Harris and Dickinson thought of going home mid-tour, due to the high number of dates.[12] The band took a six-month break, which Dickinson spent practicing fencing.[6] Maiden started writing for a new album, Somewhere in Time. Dickinson was unhappy with the synthesised bass and guitars and progressive rock-influenced [13] style, and had no writing credits.[6] Following the subsequent tour, Maiden started working on the next album, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, which followed its predecessor's approach,[13] and became their second effort to top the UK charts.[10] After the subsequent tour in 1988, they decided to take a year off.[6]

Bruce Dickinson

During the pre-production of the next album, Adrian Smith left Iron Maiden, and was replaced by Janick Gers. The band embarked on a mini tour during the summer, to introduce the new guitarist. Maiden's eighth studio album, 1990's No Prayer for the Dying, had a raw sound that didn't "hold up well", compared to past efforts.[14] The album featured Dickinson's "Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter", originally composed for a film soundtrack, which despite receiving a Golden Raspberry Award for worst "original" song in 1989, it became the band's first single to top the UK singles chart.[10] By 1992, Harris had set up a studio of his own and the new album, Fear of the Dark, was recorded there.[6] This effort's overall sound received a better treatment than No Prayer for the Bruce Dickinson performing with Iron Maiden in Paris, France, 1 July 2008. Dying.[15] Dickinson said this was the first time they [6] attempted to recapture something from the past. Dickinson left Iron Maiden after a farewell tour in 1993, to concentrate on his solo career.[6] His last performance with the band was filmed by the BBC and released as a live video, Raising Hell.

Return: 1999—present Along with Adrian Smith, Dickinson rejoined Iron Maiden in 1999 with Janick Gers remaining in the band, and they embarked on a small tour. Afterwards, they set about recording Brave New World, their first studio album with Dickinson since 1992. The supporting tour culminated with a performance at the Rock in Rio festival. In 2003 they released Dance of Death. During a 2005 tour, Sharon Osbourne accused Dickinson of disrespecting the Ozzfest at the band's last Ozzfest performance. She repeatedly turned off the P.A. system, and chanted "Ozzy! Ozzy!". Some members of the audience threw eggs at the band, to which Dickinson replied it was a premeditated assault organised by insiders.[16] In an interview for Rhythm, a UK drum based magazine, Nicko McBrain stated that this incident inspired Dickinson to write the song These Colours Don't Run for Maiden's next album, stating: "When Bruce brought that to the table, he said 'I've got this song called 'These Colours Don't Run' and we all just laughed at him, saying, 'Yeah right, and where did that come from then?'." In 2006, Maiden released their newest effort, A Matter of Life and Death and embarked on the tour. In 2008, they held the Somewhere Back in Time World Tour. Months later, Dickinson talked about the band's plans to compose a new album to come out in 2010, now known to be titled "The Final Frontier".

Solo career In early 1989, Zomba asked Dickinson to do a track for the movie A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child,[17] with a budget, a studio, and a producer, Chris Tsangarides. Dickinson took up the opportunity and called an old friend of his, former Gillan guitarist, Janick Gers. Shortly after meeting up, they had "Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter" ready for the studio. The song was composed with the assistance of bassist Andy Carr, and drummer Fabio del Rio. Later that year, Dickinson participed on a re-recording of Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water", as part of the humanitarian effort Rock Aid Armenia.[18] His intention now was to release a solo album. His solo debut, Tattooed Millionaire, was written and recorded within weeks, and released in May 1990. Backed by the band Skin, Bruce Dickinson, with Mr. Bean, made a cover version of Alice Cooper's "Elected", which was used in 1992 for Comic Relief,[19] and five years later, on Bean Soundtrack.[20]

28

Bruce Dickinson For his second solo effort, Balls to Picasso, Dickinson received the collaboration of American producer, Keith Olsen. Unhappy with the results, Dickinson started working with Tribe of Gypsies guitarist Roy Z, to improve Olsen's work.[8] The album was recorded with Tribe of Gypsies as the backing band,[8] and was released in 1994. That same year, Dickinson recorded a cover version of "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" with the band Godspeed for Black Sabbath's tribute album Nativity in Black.[21] Tribe of Gypsies departed to continue with their work and Dickinson tracked down another band. Now his new writing partner was Alex Dickson.[8] After the supporting tour finished, he started working on a new album, Skunkworks. Dickinson decided the band would be called that, but abandoned the idea to keep his name on the release.[22] Due to musical differences, the "Skunkworks" entity ceased to be when the tour ended. After a short period of inactivity, Dickinson once again teamed up with Roy Z and Tribe of Gypsies to record his next album, Accident of Birth. Adrian Smith was asked to guest and remained later as a full-time member.[23] The album marked a return to heavy metal for Dickinson; being a much heavier album than Iron Maiden's, with a less progressive influence.[23] Follow-up, The Chemical Wedding, was a semi-concept album on alchemy.[24] It drew inspiration from William Blake's writings, with songs such as, "Book of Thel", having the same title of some of his poems, and the artwork featuring one of his paintings.[24] The record was even more successful than its predecessor, with engaging lyrics and powerful songs. Dickinson recorded a cover version of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", with Montserrat Caballé,[25] almost ten years after her duet album with Freddie Mercury. Scream for Me Brazil was a live album that documented a show recorded in São Paulo in 1999, during the supporting tour. In February 1999, Dickinson, along with Smith returned to Iron Maiden. Dickinson performed vocals on the song, "Into the Black Hole", for Ayreon's Universal Migrator Part 2: Flight of the Migrator.[26] Later that year, he collaborated with Judas Priest's front-man, Rob Halford, recording, "The One You Love to Hate", for Halford's debut, Resurrection.[27] In late 2001, was released a compilation album, titled The Best of Bruce Dickinson. This work also included a limited edition disc of rarities and two new songs. His latest album, Tyranny of Souls was released in May 2005. This time the songwriting was all split between Roy Z and Dickinson.[28] Many songs were composed by Roy sending recordings of riffs to Dickinson, while he was on tour with Maiden.[28] In June 21, 2005, Dickinson's complete solo discography was re-released, featuring bonus discs with rare and remastered tracks. That same year, Dickinson contributed in the song, "Beast in the Light", from Tribuzy's album, Execution, and a subsequent live album.[29] In 2006, was released a three-DVD package, Anthology, containing concerts from his career, promo videos and footage from his work on Samson.

Other work Dickinson's interests include literature, writing, fencing (at which he has competed internationally, and has founded a fencing equipment company under the brand name "Duellist"[30] ), railway technology and aviation. Due to the wide variety of Dickinson's pursuits, the Winter 2009 edition of Intelligent Life named him as a living example of a polymath.

Aviation Dickinson holds a commercial pilot's licence, and regularly flies Boeing 757 charter jets for the UK charter airline Astraeus where he is employed as a Captain.[31] He was taught to fly by British Airways commercial pilot Captain Phil Dales. In mid-2006, Dickinson flew about 200 UK citizens home from Bruce Dickinson in a flight suit Lebanon during the Israel/Hezbollah conflict.[32] On 12 February 2007, Dickinson was given permission to fly Rangers F.C. to Israel for their UEFA Cup game against Hapoel Tel Aviv.

Bruce Dickinson Dickinson asked if he could pilot this flight as soon as he found Astraeus had the contract for it. After the collapse of XL Airways UK in September 2008 he piloted an Iceland Express aeroplane and flew home 180 stranded holiday makers from Egypt, as well as a Boeing 757 with a group of British RAF pilots from Afghanistan. "A lot of them recognised him because they are Maiden fans, but he was there in his professional capacity as a pilot," says an RAF spokesman. For their 2008-2009 Somewhere Back in Time World Tour, Iron Maiden chartered a Boeing 757 and had it specially converted to carry equipment for their concerts. Dickinson himself piloted the plane, dubbed "Ed Force One".

Radio and TV Dickinson presented Bruce Dickinson's Friday Rock Show on BBC radio station 6 Music from 2002-2010. Jean-Jacques Burnel, bassist with The Stranglers, took over the presenting duties while Dickinson toured the US with Iron Maiden. In March 2010, the BBC announced that, after over eight years, Dickinson's show was to be axed.[33] His final broadcast was on May 28 2010, with the regular format abandoned in favour of a personal and musical tribute to the recently deceased Ronnie James Dio. Dickinson also scorned the BBC executives for the cancellation, playing the Johnny Paycheck version of Take This Job and Shove It. [34] He has recently taken the helm of BBC Radio 2 serial Masters of Rock. He also presented the 5-part historical TV series about aviation, Flying Heavy Metal, which was shown on the Discovery Channel, and later on Discovery Turbo in the UK. He was also a guest on an episode of the Military Channel'sThe Greatest Eve, where he drove a Russian T-34 tank. The most recent television programme he has presented was a show on spontaneous human combustion for Sky One called Inside Spontaneous Human Combustion with Bruce Dickinson, in which he investigates the phenomenon of this occurrence by enlisting the help of several experts and performing various experiments to determine its possible cause.

Writing Plotting it out was the doddle. It came from a series of mad conversations, actually, that all gestated together along with some Sherlock Holmes, some Biggles and Penthouse, and out it came. — Bruce Dickinson commenting on Lord Iffy.[35] During a 1986-1987 Iron Maiden tour, and in the wake of a divorce, Dickinson started writing his first book. He spent sleepless night trying to give birth to the main character, Lord Iffy Boatrace. Iffy was an English landlord, whose problems were always related to the lack of money and quested a wealthy life.[35] The book, The Adventures of Lord Iffy Boatrace (ISBN 0-283-06043-3), was released in 1990 and sold more than 30,000 copies almost immediately. Due to the high demand, the publisher, Sidgwick & Jackson, asked Dickinson to produce a sequel, which became 1992's The Missionary Position [35] (ISBN 0-283-06092-1). Dickinson has also turned his hand to scriptwriting, having written a film script entitled Chemical Wedding which has been made into a film starring Simon Callow, in which Dickinson played a few small cameo roles and composed the soundtrack. Dickinson has also appeared twice in The Paradise Club, a BBC series.

Singing style Dickinson never received a formal vocal training, but still possessed a wide vocal range which was trademarked by his quasi-operatic tenor. He was given the nickname "The Air Raid Siren" because when he joined Iron Maiden and recording his first album The Number of the Beast, their sound engineer Martin Birch wanted to get the right sound for the first four lines of the title song, and forced Dickinson to sing them over and over again for hours, until Dickinson grew so frustrated that he let out a tremendous scream originally not written in the song, but found to be so fitting by the band that they kept it as part of the intro. In reality, this scream soon became one of the things that the song is most recognized for. The note has not been replicated live in the orginal pitch since the early days. Dickinson's singing varied notably in the 1990s in the recording of albums such as No Prayer for the Dying, Fear of the Dark and his first solo work Tattooed Millionaire, making use of a much more raspy and unpolished sound,

befitting of the stripped down style of the albums. Since returning to Iron Maiden in 1999, his singing style has returned to much like it was in the 1980s with Iron Maiden, though soft and reflective passages have been incorporated with the familiar operatic wail to suit the more progressive direction of Iron Maiden since the reunion. His voice has also lowered with age, making him a dramatic tenor in opera terms.

Stephen Percy "Steve" Harris (born 12 March 1956) is an English musician, best known for revolutionizing the bass guitar in the metal genre and as the bassist, band leader, primary songwriter and only constant member of the band Iron Maiden (although Dave Murray has played with the group since 1976). In addition, he plays keyboards, and sings backing vocals. He founded the band as a teenager in 1975. He and Dave Murray are the only members of the band to have appeared on all of the band's albums, and as Murray left the band for a few months prior to the first album to join Urchin, Harris is the only member to have remained in the band throughout its duration. He used to work as an architectural draftsman in the East End of London but gave up his job upon forming Iron Maiden. During the mid 1970s he was a youth team footballer for West Ham United. He still is a talented amateur football player and often has the crest of West Ham on his bass,[1] [2] and he has stated his first ambition in life before music was to become a professional footballer.[3]

Steve Harris

Career Originally Harris wanted to play drums or be a professional football player; however, he did not have much space for a drum kit in his house, so he started to play bass and write songs. Harris is a self-taught bass player[2] . His first bass was a copy of a Fender Precision Bass that cost him £40 when he was 17 years old. He went on to use a signature Lado "Unicorn" model and an early 1970s Fender Precision with RotoSound strings. Harris' first band was named Influence then Gypsy's Kiss featuring Bob Verscoyle (Lead Vocals) Dave Smith (Guitar) and Drummer Paul Sears. Harris and Sears later joined Smiler, of which all the band members were several years older than he was. He ended up leaving, as the members of the band made it clear that they did not care for a bassist who leapt around the stage and wrote songs, also his songs were too complicated for the band members, with the result that they did not want to play them. Sears was later fired due in no small way to his "hellraising lifestyle." After Smiler, Harris went on to create Iron Maiden, getting the name from seeing an iron maiden, a type of torture instrument, in the movie The Man in the Iron Mask. Harris is Maiden's principal composer and lyricist. His song writing typically showcases his trademark galloping bass patterns and features long songs with epic lyrics that feature many tempo changes. Harris frequently writes lyrics about mythology, history or topics inspired from books and films. Harris is often considered among the best and most influential heavy metal bassists.[4] He is most known for his "galloping" playing style - usually an eighth note followed by two sixteenth notes at fast tempo (e.g., "The Trooper") or eighth note triplets – which he plays with two fingers. Before playing, Harris often chalks his fingers, to make these fast patterns easier to play, as shown on the bonus DVD for the A Matter of Life and Death album. Besides this he is very adventurous on the bass and plays intricate accompaniment in many of Maiden's songs. He also uses power chords, which are unusual on bass, on several songs. Harris has also stated that he never uses a pick and that he never warms up before a show. He plays a specially-painted bass guitar which has been featured on every Iron Maiden album. The guitar has gone through four colour changes since construction. Originally white, then black, it was then changed to blue sparkle, then white with claret and blue pinstriping and the West Ham Utd crest.

Equipment Harris has been seen with different bass guitars during his career, mostly Fender P-Basses. This list may not contain every bass, and most of them are retired, and the first ones in this list are from his earliest days from his career as a musician. • Fender Precision Bass Copy: White, white pickguard, maple neck. • Fender '70s Jazz Bass: Sunburst w. tortoise pickguard, rosewood fretboard. • Fender '70s Precision Bass: Pearl White w/ West Ham crest and blue/red pinstriping (formerly white, then black, then blue sparkle), mirror pickguard (formerly black), maple neck. • Fender '70s Precision Bass: Blue / silver crackle finish (formerly white, then red sparkle), mirror pickguard (formerly black), maple neck. • Fender 1959 Precision Bass: Chess finish (formerly fiesta red or 'salmon pink' as described by Steve in a 1992-era Bass Player magazine), mirror pickguard (formerly gold anodized), maple fretboard (formerly rosewood). • Ibanez Roadster Bass: Black, maple neck (White pickups). • Ibanez Roadster Bass: Black, maple neck (Black pickups). • Danelectro Longhorn Bass: White, rosewood fretboard. • Fender '80s Precision Bass: Red, mirror pickguard (formerly black), maple neck. • Fender '80s Precision Bass: Red, black pickguard, maple neck. • Fender '80s Precision Bass: Red, black pickguard, rosewood fretboard.

Steve Harris • Lado Steve Harris Signature Unicorn Bass: Blue w. Unicorn graphic, rosewood fretboard. The bass has no tone control and Harris taps his head or body to cue the technician for treble or bass adjustments. • Lado Super Falcon Bass: Blue w. Falcon graphic, rosewood fretboard. (He's been using two such basses, one being a proto-type and was delivered back to Lado.) • Unknown brand: Natural, rosewood fretboard. • Unknown brand, possibly a "small luthier" bass: Golden, rosewood fretboard. • Fender '80s Precision Bass: Black, white pickguard, maple neck. • Ovation Acoustic Bass: Black, rosewood fretboard. • Fender Steve Harris Signature Precision Bass: Blue, wine-red pickguard, maple neck. • Guild Acoustic Bass: Black, rosewood fretboard. • Fender Special Precision Bass: Sunburst, white pickguard, rosewood fretboard. • Fender Special Precision Bass: Black, golden pickguard, maple neck. • Washburn Force 40: Black with red lining. Shortly after Bruce returned to the band, he appeared with this bass in some photos. According to an interview by Bass Magazine (in Japan), he uses this bass only for exercise. Steve uses his own signature RotoSound SH77 flatwound bass strings. Broken-in flatwound strings are not typically associated with Steve's bright sound; however, to retain brightness, Steve changes his strings on a daily basis while touring and recording. Amplification: • Pre-Amp: Custom-made 'Alectron'. This is a rackmountable virtual clone of a vintage Hi-Watt Solid State 200 amp (rare) and has been the center of Steve's bass rig since the early 1980s. • Compressor: Vintage DBX 160 • Power Amp: Custom-made rackmountable by C-Audio. Exact specifications are unknown. • Switching: Custom-made rackmount unit built by Pete Cornish. Provides loops and mute for tuning, etc. • Cabinets: Quantity 8 Marshall 4x12 straight cabinets loaded with Electro-Voice EVM12L drivers (32 speakers total). • Spare: Trace-Elliot GP12SMX serves as spare pre-amp.

Other musical talents In addition to bass playing and writing music/lyrics for Iron Maiden, Steve Harris has taken on numerous other roles to support the running of the band such as: • • • • • •

music production/mixing music video directing/editing live music video directing/editing keyboards backing vocals string/bass synthesisers

Steve Harris has been Iron Maiden's principal keyboardist (other than at live shows and on a few songs where the work has been done by Michael Kenney who doubles as his bass technician) since keyboards were first used by the band on the album Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Though since that album keyboards have played less of a role in Iron Maiden (usually), the complexity and speed of the playing has increased as Harris has improved. Initially he was not even credited for it in the band credits, just the album ones. For the album Somewhere in Time, Harris made his first experimentation with synthesised sounds, playing the bass synth (later on the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son album referred to as 'string synth'). He has also done so on subsequent albums, although it has not featured as much as it did on Somewhere in Time because of the band's less synthesised sounds and also the use of keyboards.

35

Steve Harris Steve Harris is also known for playing an increasing role in mixing Iron Maiden's albums as well as producing them, and has done the work himself since Fear of the Dark. Harris also directs and edits many of the band's music videos, particularly live ones. He also owns a farm with music recording facilities. Harris' land has been used to write Maiden's albums on numerous occasions; it was also used to film the music video for the song Holy Smoke. Harris has also contributed backing vocals on Iron Maiden records and concerts since the band's inception, though he is not always credited on the sleeves.

Trivia • Given that Harris had been the centre of attention in Maiden's early gigs the addition of Bruce Dickinson to the band's line-up originally caused small scuffles between the two as they both wanted to be at the centre of the stage. Bruce mentioned in The Early Days documentary that Harris occasionally elbowed him away, and he returned the favour by causing Harris to trip on his extra-long microphone stand. • His eldest daughter, Lauren Harris, is also a singer and has released her debut album, Calm Before the Storm. She supported Iron Maiden on their A Matter of Life and Death tour as well as the Somewhere Back In Time World Tour.[5] • His son, George Harris plays lead guitar in a band called Burn In Reason ([6]) who take a heavy influence from Iron Maiden, and also from bands such as Killswitch Engage, Atreyu, Funeral for a Friend and Underoath. • In 2001, Fender issued the Steve Harris Signature Precision Bass. This instrument featured a basswood body coloured in lake placid blue with a satin-finished maple neck, claret-mirror pickguard (i.e. West Ham United colors), Badass II Bridge, and Seymour Duncan Basslines SPB-3 pickups. This model was discontinued after a very limited run. • In 2009, Fender issued a new version of the Steve Harris Precision Bass. This new model more faithfully recreates the actual bass Steve has used throughout his career with Iron Maiden. This is as the bass appeared on (among others) the World Slavery Tour. It has an alder body in royal blue (darker than the lake placid blue of the 2001 signature), gloss-finished maple fretboard, a chrome mirror pickguard, Badass II Bridge, and the Seymour Duncan SPB-1 pickup Harris actually uses; whereas the 2001 signature model featured an SPB-3 (also known as the Quarter Pound). • Rotosound currently produce a set of Steve Harris signature Flatwound bass strings that are 50 - 110 gauge Rotosound 77's. • He is the father of six children. He has three daughters (Lauren, Kerry and Faye) and one son (George) with former wife Lorraine and another son (Stanley) and another daughter (Maisie) with current partner Emma. • Harris often mentions in interviews his three beloved Manx cats, Edward (named after the mascot of the band), Petal, and Moufdi (after a childhood friend).

David Michael "Dave" Murray (born 23 December 1956)[1] is an English guitarist and songwriter best known as one of the original members of the heavy metal band Iron Maiden. He joined the band just two months after their inception in 1975.

Career As a boy, Murray was a fanatical football player and fan, as well as a keen cricketer. But his family was poor – his father was disabled and his mother worked part-time as a cleaner – and the family never settled anywhere long enough for Murray to establish himself on any of the schools' teams he could have played for. By his reckoning, he had been to a dozen different schools by the time he left for good at the age of 16. Murray developed an interest in rock music when he was 15 after hearing Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix on the radio. From then on, everything changed. He got his first guitar and would practice along with records up to seven hours a day. He formed his first band, a trio called Stone Free which also included Adrian Smith (Guitar/Vocals) who later became a member of Iron Maiden. From there, Murray played with a number of different bands before meeting Steve Harris and joined Iron Maiden for the first time in 1976. He briefly left the band following an argument with then vocalist Dennis Wilcock. Murray again teamed with Adrian Smith in a band called Urchin. During this short tenure with the band, Murray recorded one single titled "She's A Roller". Following the single, Murray left Urchin and returned to Iron Maiden, replacing Terry Wapram. Wilcock left the band shortly after Murray's return.

Dave Murray Murray managed to briefly hold down a 9 - 5 job working for the then GLC (Greater London Council).He worked as a Store keeper in the Housing Dept.Based around in the Woodberry Down Estate ,Frampton Park Estate and Geldeston Rd ,Clapton area of North East London. His Boss Ronny Petit expressed his concerns about Dave giving up a good steady job to tour Japan with Iron Maiden. Murray's solo guitar style throughout his career has been mainly of the Legato variety. Examples of this can be heard in Maiden songs such as "Phantom of the Opera", "Lightning Strikes Twice", through to their 2006 studio release A Matter of Life and Death. Murray is noted for having naturally strong fingers and he frequently uses hammer-ons and pull-offs. He has also written songs for the band, though he is less prolific than other band members. Murray usually forgoes lyric writing to another bandmate and concentrates on the musical elements of songwriting. He mainly co-writes songs with another member of Iron Maiden, with the song "Charlotte the Harlot" being the only composition credited solely to him. Murray is seen by many as the most modest, humble, down-to-earth member of the band. "It's my upbringing. When you start out with nothing, you don't expect much from life. For all this to happen to me - well, it's like a dream, really". Murray and Steve Harris are the only members of Iron Maiden to have appeared on every one of the band's albums.

Equipment Throughout his career, Murray has used and endorsed Marshall amplifiers almost exclusively, other than on the 'Somewhere in Time' and 'Seventh Son...' albums and their respective tours, when he instead used Gallien Krueger amps. He has used Fender Stratocaster guitars almost exclusively as well. His black 1957/63 (the body is from a '63 and the neck is from a '57) Stratocaster, previously owned by the late Free guitarist Paul Kossoff, was used from circa 1976-1990. It was used as a model by Fender to manufacture an Artist Signature model since 2009 - http:/ / www. fender. com/ products/ / search. php?partno=0118802806. The original now resides in a glass case at his home. Murray has occasionally performed with various Dean, Gibson, Ibanez, ESP and Jackson electrics as well. As for acoustic guitar performances, Murray has used Gibson Hummingbird acoustic guitars live for the song 'Journeyman', and on the 'Somewhere Back In Time' tour for the intro to 'Moonchild'. He also used a Gibson Chet Atkins solid body acoustic on the 'Fear of the Dark' tour for the song 'Wasting Love'. Murray used his 1957/63 Strat (equipped with DiMarzio Super Distortion and PAF humbucking pickups) extensively, retiring it at the end of the 'Seventh Son...' tour in 1988, when he switched to Jackson guitars.

Guitars Since returning to Fender in 1995, following several years from 1986 - 1993 when he endorsed ESP and Jackson, Murray has had several variations of the Stratocaster made for him by Fender. The first was the prototype for what was to become the Hot Rod Re-Issue series, which were Japanese made and featured either a 50's style maple fingerboard version, or '60's style slab rosewood fingerboard. These models featured Floyd Rose Original tremolos and a custom wound DiMarzio humbucker in the bridge position, and two hot single coils in the middle and neck positions. Murray tended to use a candy apple red HRR60's Strat on the 'Fear of the Dark' tour for the songs 'The Evil That Men Do' and 'Can i Play With Madness' which can be seen on The 1992 Donington live video.

Dave Murray 1990 - 1992 Murray's main guitar during this period was a candy apple red Jackson Strat-style guitar with black scratchplate and Seymour Duncan JB Trembuckers in the bridge and neck positions, and a Classic Stack humbucker in middle position. This guitar had chrome hardware, a Kahler Steeler tremolo system, and was used as a backup from 1992 to 1999. This guitar can be seen in the 'Holy Smoke' video, on almost every song in the Donington '92 live video, on the song 'The Clairvoyant' on the 'Raising Hell' video, and first show of the 'Ed Hunter' tour (2 Minutes To Midnight, Stranger In A Strange Land). During this time he also used a similarly spec'd Jackson which was white with a white scratchplate. This guitar had white Dimarzio pickups at first, but the neck humbucker was changed during the 'Fear of the Dark' tour to a black Seymour Duncan for unknown reasons. 1993 - 1999 On the 'X Factor', 'Virtual XI' and 'Ed Hunter' tours, Murray's main instruments were: -1 White Strat with white scratchplate, ebony fingerboard, 3 Seymour Duncan Hot Rails pickups, and a Floyd Rose original tremolo. All hardware is black on this guitar. - 1 White Strat with a black scratchplate, ebony fingerboard (vintage-style thin fingerboard with the truss rod inserted through the rear of the neck, which has a walnut skunk stripe running along the back of the neck), HSH configuration with dual black Seymour Duncan JB Trembucker humbucking pickups and a white Fender Texas Special single-coil pickup in the middle position (Seymour Duncan used to make a neck calibrated JB, they stopped as the Jazz Neck humbucker is essentially exactly the same pickup), Floyd Rose Original, all hardware is black on this guitar. - 1 White Strat, black scratchplate, ebony fingerboard (again with vintage-style thin fingerboard and a walnut skunk stripe running along the back of the neck) HSH configuration with dual Seymour Duncan Custom humbucking pickups with zebra bobbins and a white Fender Fat 50s single-coil pickup in the middle, again all hardware is black. That strat. was his main guitar on Raising Hell video. This guitar can be also seen on early shows of Ed Hunter tour before being replaced with 2 fender strats with Hot rails. Since 2000 Brave New World tour 2 Fender Custom Shop Custom Classic Stratocasters, both spec'd exactly the same with Floyd Rose locking tremolo systems, 1-piece maple neck/fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets, vintage Kluson tuners and three Seymour Duncan Hot Rails humbucking pickups (HHH configuration) with 5-way switching mounted on a pearloid scratchplate - 1 Vintage White and one Black. The black one has had the white bridge position Hot Rails changed to a black one during the 'Give Me Ed Till I'm Dead' tour (the original pickup died and was replaced with the 1st Hot Rails available, which just happened to be a black pickup). There was also another black Custom Classic Stratocaster with the same specs as the first black guitar, fitted with a mirror pickguard and black plastic parts, which was used as a template for the limited edition Iron Maiden Stratocaster made by Fender Japan in 2001 (this guitar was only made in small production runs and for the 1 year only). Give Me 'Ed...Till I'm Dead tour In addition to the two two main Strat's from the previous tour, Murray used a Wayne 3-Tone Sunburst Stratocaster with maple neck, Floyd Rose locking tremolo system, three Seymour Duncan Hot Rails humbucking pickups with 5-way switching and white pickguard. Used on the songs '22 Acacia Avenue', 'The Clairvoyant', and 'Wildest Dreams'. Wayne also produced for Murray a black version of the same guitar which was used in the recording of the 'Dance of Death' album. Wayne were keen to produce a Dave Murray signature model, and went as far as advertising it on their website as 'coming soon'. However it never came to fruition.

Dave Murray Dance of Death tour Since the 'Dance of Death' tour, Murray's main guitar has been a 2-Tone Sunburst Strat with a 21-fret rosewood fingerboard. This guitar looks like it could well be an early '80's guitar with the Floyd Rose retro fitted later, or the neck has come from an early '80's guitar been retro fitted onto a new body. The headstock is distinctive in that it has the thick set early '80's gold Fender logo, but small Stratocaster logo placing it somewhere after 1982 when Fender re-introduced the smaller headstock but still used the bigger gold Fender and Stratocaster logos, they changed soon after to the thick gold logo with small Stratocaster logo, and before 1986/87 when they changed to a thick silver Fender logo and started producing US Strats with 22 frets as standard. It also has a string tree for the E and B strings, which is made redundant by the string retaining bar behind the locking nut. This guitar also has a trio of Seymour Duncan Hot Rails humbuckers and a white pearloid pickguard. Somewhere Back in Time 2008/2009 Tour Main Sunburst Strat, Black and Vintage White Strats as backups (all 3 with SD Hot Rails) for the 2008 leg. For the 2009 leg: Main Sunburst Strat, Vintage White as backup for it (the Vintage White Strat was not used on any of gigs but seen on guitar stand on photos in FC Magazine) and Fender (American) Dave Murray (Artist signature) Stratocaster, which is actually different to the regular Artist Series version available as it shares many of the features found on the Japanese-made HST-57DM "tribute series" models - such as the Floyd Rose locking system - as opposed to the more 'accurate vintage replica' of the Kossoff-owned Strat which it is based. Final Frontier 2010/2011 Tour Main Black Strat (from 1999, the one with black Hot rail in bridge position), with Sunburst Strat (which was used on first shows as main guitar), Vintage White Strat, Floyd Rose Signature Strat and Gibson Traditional 2010 Desert Burst Les Paul as backups. Various Strats have been ruined onstage over the years. Many were Squier models, however the last one destroyed on the group's 2007 Download Festival appearance was a Mexican Fender Floyd Rose Strat which was one of two (both white) which were literally wrecked every night and re-built before the next show. There was also a Mexican Fender Floyd Rose Strat used on the early days tour (also white) which was not quite destroyed and was auctioned off for the Clive Burr MS Trust Fund after the final date of the tour at Hammersmith.

Adrian Frederik Smith (born 27 February 1957) is an English guitarist and one of three guitarists/songwriters in the English band Iron Maiden. He also performs backing vocals on some songs, along with Steve Harris.

Biography While at school, Smith befriended Dave Murray and the pair formed the band Urchin with Smith taking the roles of lead singer and lead guitarist. Smith had bought his first guitar from Murray, a Woolworths' Top 20, for "five quid" (later he painted it silver and sold it again for "12 quid", as he states in the Early Days DVD). Murray left Urchin to join Iron Maiden, the new band of another local musician, Steve Harris. Smith continued to front Urchin, with limited success, until joining Maiden in early 1980 for the Killers album (released in 1981), replacing Dennis Stratton. Smith first wrote songs for Maiden on the 1982 album The Number of the Beast, and was the band's secondary songwriter from then on (often in co-operation with Bruce Dickinson). Smith and Dave Murray combined playing dual lead guitars helping to forge the trademark sound of Iron Maiden. Some notable lead duets are "The

Adrian Smith Duellists", "2 Minutes to Midnight", "The Trooper", "Alexander the Great" and "Rime of the Ancient Mariner". Notable Smith solos include "Wasted Years", "Stranger in a Strange Land" and "The Wicker Man". Smith also has a brother named Scott Hale, famed for his lead guitar skills in the 80s band GLAM. Smith released a solo LP with the band ASAP (Adrian Smith And Project) titled Silver and Gold in 1989. Following its release, Smith departed from Iron Maiden in 1990 when recordings for the No Prayer for the Dying album were about to start, and was replaced by Janick Gers. After releasing the experimental Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son albums, Steve Harris had decided to take the band back to a more traditional hard rock direction which can clearly be heard on the No Prayer for the Dying album. This album featured one last Smith song co-penned with Bruce Dickinson titled "Hooks in You". Bruce Dickinson's comment on Smith: "When he left the band in 1990, I think everybody was a bit surprised at how much we missed him and certainly, I don’t think anybody had realized how much the fans would miss him - big time. I wouldn’t have rejoined Iron Maiden if he wasn’t in the band. I just don’t think it would have been complete without Adrian, and now, it’s great having three guitarists." In 1996, Smith joined forces with former Helloween vocalist, Michael Kiske on Kiske's solo album Instant Clarity. He plays guitar on portions of the album in addition to co-writing some of the songs. Later, Smith formed his alternative rock-influenced band Psycho Motel. This band was a progression from an earlier music project of his called The Untouchables, which featured former members of ASAP as well as former The Cult bassist Jamie Stewart. The band recorded two albums, State of Mind (1996) and Welcome to the World (1997). Smith would also play on Bruce Dickinson's Accident of Birth and The Chemical Wedding albums. The influence of this more progressive direction, as well as Smith's heavier rhythm guitar playing, is apparent since his return to Iron Maiden. On 22 August 1992 Smith made a brief appearance onstage with Maiden to play "Running Free" during the Castle Donington 'Monsters Of Rock' Festival. In 1999, Smith re-joined Iron Maiden for the "Ed Hunter tour", a series of concerts in support of the video game of the same name. Since then, Iron Maiden with Smith have released 3 studio albums, Brave New World in 2000, Dance of Death in 2003 and A Matter of Life and Death in 2006. He remains with the band to this day. He also sometimes makes charity appearances for cancer awareness/patient rights activism organization The Maiden Flight, of which his wife is a member.

Personal life In his spare time, Smith loves fishing, as can be seen on the Rock In Rio DVD. Smith and his wife Nathalie have three children, son Dylan Smith (born in 1989) and twin daughters Natasha Smith and Brittany Smith (born in 1991).

Singing style Ever since joining Maiden in 1981, Smith has provided back-up vocals for the band, but took the lead vocals for his solo bands (Urchin, A.S.A.P., Psycho Motel). His actual singing voice in Maiden is rarely heard although he sang lead on the track Reach Out, the B-Side to the single "Wasted Years", with Bruce Dickinson singing back-up. Smith has a relaxed vocal style with a slight raspiness very reminiscent of young Joe Cocker and Paul Carrack. His voice type could be considered a baritone.

Adrian Smith

Equipment Guitars Smith currently prefers to use his Jackson signature 'San Dimas' Dinky, although he has used a variety of guitars over his career including several different Dean models, various Jackson models including the Randy Rhoads, Fender Stratocasters (including three Fender Floyd Rose Classic Stratocasters; one of these stratocasters had a roland MIDI pickup installed), Gibson Les Pauls, Gibson Explorers, Gibson SGs, an Ibanez Destroyer and Lado Guitars. On the A Matter of Life and Death DVD, he says the first decent guitar he bought was a Gibson Les Paul Goldtop which he paid £235 for when he was 17. He's still using it and says, "it's still probably the best guitar I've got". As of August 2007, Adrian Smith endorses Jackson Guitars, his first guitar company endorsement in over fifteen years. With Jackson he has an Adrian Smith San Dimas DK model.[1] . Prior to his endorsement, he can also be seen using other Jackson guitars, such as a King V during his time in Bruce Dickinson's solo band, before he went to Fender guitars.

Janick Robert Gers (pronounced /ˈjænɪk ˈɡɛərz/) (born 27 January 1957, Hartlepool, England) is one of three current guitarists in the English Heavy metal band Iron Maiden,[1] and a songwriter for the band. Janick lives in Yarm, Teesside. His father, Bolesław, was an officer of the Polish Navy.

Career Gers was the lead guitarist of the band White Spirit before joining Gillan, a group formed by former Deep Purple vocalist Ian Gillan.[2] After Gillan disbanded, he joined Gogmagog which included former Iron Maiden vocalist Paul Di'Anno and drummer Clive Burr. Gers also performed with other artists including former Marillion vocalist Fish. In 1990, he played guitar on the first solo album of Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson, Tattooed Millionaire. In March 1990, during the recording of the album, he was asked to join Iron Maiden in place of departing Adrian Smith.[2] He has remained with the band ever since, even after Smith rejoined the band in 1999. Gers' playing style uses heavy distortion and is noted for having a very raw tone. He prefers staccato picking instead of playing legato using hammer-ons and pull-offs. Gers is also left-handed although he plays guitar right-handed; as seen at the Rock In Rio DVD signing autographs. Gers' main influences are Ritchie Blackmore, Jeff Beck and Irish blues guitarist Rory Gallagher. He is noted for his energetic stage presence. He can often be seen bouncing up and down and occasionally does tricks with his guitar, such as spinning it around his body while playing, or throwing it into the air, catching it. He also has a daughter called Sian Gers who attends Conyers in Yarm.

According to the Flight 666 movie, Gers has a university degree in sociology, though it is unknown if this is because he ever planned on a lasting career in something other than music.

Musical equipment Gers is a long-time proponent of the Fender Stratocaster. His Stratocasters are typically black or white with rosewood fingerboards. He uses Seymour Duncan JB Jr.(currently) or Hot Rails (early 1990s) pickups. His favourite guitar over the years has been a black Fender Stratocaster, equipped with JB Jr. pickups.[3] Gers uses four different Fender Stratocasters and also a Gibson Chet Atkins semi-acoustic model for songs such as "Dance of Death". Like his bandmate Dave Murray, Gers currently uses the Marshall JMP-1 preamp through a Marshall 9200 (discontinued) poweramp. He uses Ernie Ball Regular Slinky Nickel-wound guitar strings. He does not use the B strings, however, so the strings go 10-10-17-26-36-46.

Michael Henry "Nicko" McBrain (born June 5, 1952) is an English musician, best known as the drummer for Iron Maiden, which he joined in 1982. The nickname 'Nicko' originated from when the keyboard player Billy Day introduced him as "My Italian drummer, his name’s 'Nicko'". McBrain himself states that as a child he had a stuffed animal (bear) named "Nicholas" that he always carried with him so much so that his parents began calling him Nicky also.[1] Only when he may have been in trouble was he called by his given name. McBrain is credited as being an early pioneer of the heavy metal sound[2] and passes his experience on through drum clinics. McBrain is frequently included in top drummer league tables and rankings as a result of his very influential and skillful performances in studio and on stage. Recently, he has been ranked at No. 18 in Rhythm Magazine's 50 Greatest Drummers Of All Time [3] . Known for his affable joking personality, eagerness for interviews and public appearances, McBrain is considered by his bandmates as Iron Maiden's spokeperson.

Biography McBrain joined the band Streetwalkers in 1975 and recorded with them[4] [5] before moving on to drum for Pat Travers[6] and later Trust. In the early 1980s he became the drummer for McKitty and it was with this band that he first met Iron Maiden bassist and founder Steve Harris. Trust supported Iron Maiden on the Number of the Beast world tour in 1982. On this same tour, not only did McBrain star as the Devil in "The Number Of The Beast" music video, but also stood in for Maiden drummer Clive Burr at a live show in Belgium. He officially joined Iron Maiden

Nicko McBrain in December 1982. McBrain's first album with Iron Maiden was Piece of Mind in 1983. In response to questions from Maiden fans[7] , McBrain highlighted that it was 'not a coincidence' that Piece Of Mind had many references to brains and minds, after he, with the surname McBrain, had recently joined the band. McBrain has stated on recordings for the Paiste website while promoting his signature drum sticks, that he first wanted to learn drums at a young age after watching a performance of Joe Morello, which immediately led him to play drums with kitchen utensils and pots, to the dislike of his father. After studying engineering at City & Guilds (which his father had wanted him to complete), he was able to pursue drumming at a professional level.

Drumming style McBrain's drumming is an important factor in the Iron Maiden sound and was felt immediately on Piece of Mind. As described in detail on the band's 2008 'Live After Death DVD', the notorious opening track of "Where Eagles Dare" famously displays McBrain's ability to use the single drum pedal very quickly, plus his rapid tom fills. This song has since been explained in the drummer's numerous clinics, and is considered very complex and masterful.[8] [9] On this same video documentary, McBrain's drum technician notes that, on the World Slavery Tour, drummers such as Tommy Lee called McBrain an 'octopus' after witnessing the way in which the drummer's stamina gives him the ability to use all of his signature large drum kit in shows[10] . McBrain often employs the back end of his left hand drum stick to get more aggressive sound of the snare drum. He is able to play a variety of styles, with time signatures such as the 7/8 riff which follows the second chorus of "Alexander the Great". The 7/4 riff on the song "Brighter Than a Thousand Suns" and the 14/8 riff that follows the second chorus on the song "The Longest Day" are other examples of his versatility. He is known not to use a double bass pedal (in 2008's Live After Death DVD, Bruce Dickinson says that Nicko considered double pedals as 'undrummerish'). Instead, he prefers to employ a fast, bare foot technique using a single pedal, as seen in the Flight 666 video on "Rime Of The Ancient Mariner (Part 1)" at the 5:18 mark, and emphasized in the song "The Evil That Men Do".[11] It is for these reasons that Steve Harris remarked that "...he can play all kinds of music. Drummers from other bands sit round the back of him to see what he’s doing, but he’s got his kit set so he doesn't even look at what he's hitting half the time"[12] After McBrain joined the band in 1982, Harris also noted how much easier playing with McBrain was for a songwriter.[13] His drumkit's array is notoriously high, almost completely concealing him when playing live. This display allows bigger drums and cymbals to be placed within reach; he also places the snare drum higher and closer to the rest of the drumset, facing towards him; this allows him to have the bass drum closer to the hi-hat, giving him a more relaxed sitting posture.

Equipment McBrain currently uses Premier drums and Paiste cymbals (Bruce Dickinson mentioned, in the song "Sanctuary" on the "A Real Dead One" Album, that they do not pay him enough to play Paiste cymbals). Previously he had been endorsed by Sonor drums and switched to Premier in the early 1990s when Sonor were sold. For A Matter of Life and Death he used his Ludwig metal shell LM 402 snare drum which was purchased in 1975, making it the oldest drum in his kit. Nicko has been a long-time user of the Ludwig Speed King pedal, but since the middle of the '90s he uses a 1993 DW 5000 Turbo Single Chain and a newer DW 5000 Hi-hat stand. He endorses Vic Firth signature drum sticks, also using them for his own drumming.

Nicko McBrain

Personal life McBrain converted to Christianity in 1999 after an experience in the Spanish River Church, near his Boca Raton, Florida home. His wife Rebecca had been asking him to attend with her, and upon entering the church, McBrain soon found himself crying as he experienced a "calling". Recounting the tale, he said "I just sat there thinking, 'I didn't drink last night…why can't I stand?' I had this love affair with Jesus going on in my heart."[16] [17] In an interview, McBrain was asked if he felt it was appropriate to be a member of Iron Maiden in light of his Christian views. He responded by saying, “When you become a Christian, you don’t become sinless. The idea is to sin less. We’re all sinners. We’re never going to be clean till the day the good Lord is standing in front and judgment comes. But to me, I try to live my life. I do fall off, and occasionally I fall off hard and I have to get down on my knees and beg forgiveness. So it’s not an easy ride, and it’s not professed to be either.” He was also asked if he shared his religious views with his band mates, and if so, how they felt about it. McBrain responded, “We’ve had some incredibly deep conversations amongst each of us. I can’t say to you that I’m trying to convert all these guys in my band to be Christians. I’m leading them on my route, and if they choose to follow what God’s plan is in the Bible, that’s up to them. I say to them all, you know, look, in my belief, at the moment, if you turn to your saviour Jesus Christ, I’ll have eternal life in Heaven with you! … We don’t talk about it every time we get together, but we’ve had some interesting conversations over the years.” [18] McBrain also has a pilot's license, for which he has a twin engine rating.[19] He is a close friend of the well-known Swedish singer-songwriter Lasse Berghagen. McBrain has two sons: Nicholas (born 1983) and Justin (born 1992).

Films and fan rapport He has filmed several short videos for the band's official website, also the Paiste Cymbal website and keeps a diary when the band is on tour. These diaries reveal his endearing sense of humour and affection for his fans. As heard on the introduction of the Iron Maiden line-up on "Moonchild" on Flight 666 - The Original Soundtrack, McBrain receives the perennial chant of 'Nicko! Nicko!' when announced, something that is emulated in many shows, illustrating the popularity of the drummer as a musician and a character.[20]

Trivia • His favourite Iron Maiden albums are Powerslave, Brave New World and A Matter Of Life And Death. • McBrain is a keen golfer, and in fact he was invited to speak to the European Ryder Cup team by captain Nick Faldo in July 2008. • He frequently plays the drums during Maiden downtime both in his drum clinics and his McBrain Damage band. He also formed a side project band called 7x70 with Dan Spitz from Anthrax, but it is unknown if they are still active. • On the No More Lies EP, he contributes to the lyrics. • McBrain is an oenophile, and often discusses wine varietals in interviews. • He currently manages New York metal band Voices of Extreme (or V.O.X). • McBrain has also appeared as a guest on the children's television show Sooty and Sweep, where he was asked by Soo to "play something funky, Nicko." In reference to his appearance on the show, McBrain's drum kit is decorated with a Sooty puppet, which is often dressed accordingly with the band's corresponding tours.[21] • Before being Iron Maiden's drummer, McBrain was the Devil on "The Number of the Beast" videoclip and Beast On The Road tour. He also appeared as the blue-faced Grim Reaper in the music video for "Flight of Icarus", off of the album Piece of Mind, his official debut with the band musically. • On 'Rock Radio' in 2009, McBrain stated that his Vic Firth sticks, entitled 'Nicko Boomer McBrain', were called so not because of his hard hitting drumming but because of 'passing-wind'.[22]

Nicko McBrain • Nicko says he is the sexiest member of Iron Maiden and they put him behind the drums to avoid distracting the audience.[23] • In 2009 he opened a restaurant called Rock N Roll Ribs in Coral Springs, Florida. He played at its grand opening.[24]

Blaze Bayley (born Bayley Alexander Cooke,[2] 29 May 1963, Birmingham, England) is an English singer and songwriter. He is currently the lead vocalist of his self-titled band, Blaze Bayley, who formed in 1999. The band has released 5 studio albums (3 of them under the original band name of simply "Blaze") and 2 live albums, their latest being Promise and Terror. He is also the lead singer of Wolfsbane from 1984 to 1994, and again from 2010, and Iron Maiden from 1994 to 1999.

Career Wolfsbane and Iron Maiden (1984-1999) Blaze Bayley started his musical career as the lead vocalist of Tamworth heavy metal/hard rock band Wolfsbane, upon their formation in 1984. When Bruce Dickinson departed fellow English heavy metal band Iron Maiden in 1993, Bayley was chosen as his replacement in 1994 after hundreds of auditions. His depature from Wolfsbane led to their disbandment later on that year. After a bad motorcycle accident caused by losing control and clipping his knee on a catseye in the road, which put him out of action for a year, his first album with Maiden was The X Factor, released in 1995. Bayley went on to tour with the band in support of the album. Another Iron Maiden album with Bayley on vocals, Virtual XI was released in 1998.

Blaze Bayley The two Iron Maiden albums released during Bayley's time in the band did not chart as well as that to which the band were accustomed. The X Factor peaked at #8 on the UK Albums Chart and Virtual XI hit only #16, both being the lowest charting Maiden studio albums since Killers was released in 1981, which peaked at #12. Some of this comparative commercial failure could be attributed to fans disliking Blaze's singing style and tours being cut short due to Bayley's frequent sickness. In February 1999, when Iron Maiden announced that vocalist Bruce Dickinson was returning to the band, Bayley departed by mutual consent, and he remains on good terms with his former bandmates. Iron Maiden occasionally performed songs from the two Maiden albums featuring Bayley, including "Man on the Edge" and "Futureal", which he co-wrote, though no Bayley era songs have been on the band's set list since 2003. Likewise, Bayley has performed Iron Maiden songs originally recorded by the Dickinson and Paul Di'Anno led line-ups at some concerts. In 2007, Wolfsbane reformed for a one-off performance, with Bayley again taking up vocal and frontman duties. They supported The Wildhearts on a short UK tour in December 2007.

Self Titled Band (1999-present) Following Blaze Bayley's departure from Iron Maiden in 1999, he formed his own band, Blaze, in March that year. Bayley recruited guitarist Steve Wray, guitarist John Slater, bassist Rob Naylor, and drummer Jeff Singer, and signed a deal with German label SPV, releasing the band's debut studio album in 2000, Silicon Messiah. The album was followed up by Tenth Dimension in 2002 and the band's first live album in 2003, As Live As It Gets. After recording the live album, Jeff Singer announced he was leaving the band. Three months later, Rob Naylor was also leaving. Session drummer Phil Greenhouse and bassist Wayne Banks were hired for the rest of the Tenth Dimension tour until permanent replacements could be found. Guitarist Jason Banks was drafted in for a few gigs at the end of 2003 to cover for John Slater. At the end of 2003, Blaze began writing material for their third studio album, Blood & Belief. Phil Greenhouse was replaced on drums by Jason Bowld for recording and Dave Knight for touring. The band began to tour for the album shortly after it was released in 2004, but were set back again by the news that John Slater could not perform a large section of the tour. Despite rejoining the band later in the year, Slater eventually left the band in September with Steve Wray to form the band Rise To Addiction. Bassist Wayne Banks and drummer Dave Knight left the band to join the Robin Gibb band in September 2004. Blaze performed a number of shows in 2004 and 2005 with the lineup of Bayley, guitarist Oliver Palotai, guitarist Luca Princiotta, bassist Nick Douglas, and drummer Daniel Löble. The two guitarists were eventually kept on as full members. The band's lineup shifted once again when Löble quit to join German power metal band Helloween early in 2005 and when Douglas returned to another German heavy metal band, Doro. The two were replaced by unknown German musicians Daniel Schild and Christian Ammann respectively. With the new line up, Blaze began to work on a fourth studio album for a release in 2007, but in January that year it was announced the entire line-up parted ways with Bayley. Following the lineup change, Bayley opted to rename the band under his name, Blaze Bayley. In February 2007, Blaze Bayley added guitarists Nick Bermudez and Rich Newport, bassist Dave Bermudez, and drummer Rico Banderra to the band and recorded the live DVD album Alive in Poland, released later on that year. Bayley announced that Rich Newport had left the band to pursue a career as a guitar teacher later on that year, and Jay Walsh would replace him onstage for the remainder of the tour. Bayley also announced the addition of drummer Lawrence Paterson, formerly of British metal bands Chokehold and Shadowkeep. In July 2008, Blaze Bayley released their fourth studio album, The Man Who Would Not Die. The album also contained the band's first single,

Blaze Bayley "Robot", despite only being available digitally. It is sometimes regarded as a mini-compilation as it includes many bonus tracks. Recently, the band recorded another DVD live at Z7, The Night That Will Not Die, which was released in March 2009. Blaze Bayley announced that the band started recording for their new album on September 28, 2009. It is scheduled to come out the next year. A contest was taken place at the band's forum where the two first people who guessed the title of the new album will receive a free signed copy of it. The title was revealed to be Promise and Terror a few days later. The album Promise and Terror was released on the 1st Feb 2010. Professional reviews have generally been very positive about the album. On Feb 6th 2010 Blaze Bayley started their 2010 world tour in Dudley UK. They will then spend the next months playing the UK, France, Italy, Germany before leaving for the South American leg of the tour. They will then return to Europe later in the year. There is some talk about a U.S.A. tour as well as tours in Japan and other Asian countries. It has just been reported that Larry Paterson, the drummer for the band, has just left due to personal and professional reasons, although none were specified. Their manager, Anna, announced her departure from the band as well. She claimed that the band's idea of where to go next and her's were not in the same direction.

Singing style It has been claimed that one of the reasons for Bayley's lukewarm reception from Iron Maiden fans was that he possessed a vocal range lower than either of his predecessors. This made it difficult for him to perform certain songs in the key in which they were originally written and Iron Maiden was used to playing them. "Run to the Hills," one of Iron Maiden's most popular tracks, was omitted from live shows as a result of this, as it features the E above high C (E5). On his albums with Blaze, Bayley's voice was noted for its improvement, which could be due, in part, to having musicians who more closely fit his singing style and the absence of Bayley's former respiratory allergy that caused him trouble during live performances. Blaze Bayley has a relatively low vocal range and is considered a Bass-Baritone (lower than that of Paul Di'anno). In songs such as "Stare at the Sun", "Sign of the Cross", or "Hallowed Be Thy Name" live, his voice would cover the range from F at the bottom of the bass clef (F2) to A above middle C (A4), but only infrequently descends beyond the C below middle C (C3).. His lowest recorded note on a studio album during his time with Iron Maiden was the E above low C (E2) in the song "Sign of the Cross", and his highest note featured in the studio version of an Iron Maiden song was the B above middle C (B4) in Iron Maiden's cover of The Who's "My Generation", and in the harmonies of the song "Virus". However, during live performances, Bayley would be forced to try to replicate some of the high passages originally executed by Bruce Dickinson's tenor voice, which could get as high as the E above high C (E5) on popular songs like "The Trooper". Though Bayley often would not match all these notes as they were done on their respective studio albums, he would sometimes manage to strain his voice during live performances enough to get as high as the D above high C (D5).

Clive Burr (born 8 March 1957, East Ham, east London) is a British drummer, best known as a member of Iron Maiden from 1980 to 1982.[1] [2] Previously a member of Samson, Burr joined Iron Maiden in 1979. An acquaintance of then-Iron Maiden guitarist Dennis Stratton, Burr played on their first three records: Iron Maiden, Killers and their breakthrough release The Number of the Beast. Burr left the band in 1982 due to Iron Maiden's tour schedule and personal problems. He was replaced by the band's current drummer, Nicko McBrain. Burr co-wrote one song on The Number of the Beast, "Gangland", and another song, "Total Eclipse", that was cut from the album and showed up as the b-side of the "Run to the Hills" single, and later on the Number Of The Beast remastered CD re-release. After leaving Iron Maiden, Burr briefly played in the French group Trust, thus switching places with McBrain, and briefly with the American band Alcatrazz. Burr was featured in the short-lived NWOBHM supergroup Gogmagog which also included ex-Iron Maiden vocalist Paul Di'Anno and future Maiden guitarist Janick Gers. He also had a band known as Clive Burr's Escape (later known as Stratus), featuring former Praying Mantis members, which disbanded after releasing one album. Burr then joined Dee Snider in his post-Twisted Sister outfit Desperado, which was never fully realized due to a falling out with the band's record company. Burr performed with British bands Elixir and Praying Mantis in the 1990s, but did not become a member of either. Burr has since been diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis, the treatment of which left him deeply in debt. Iron Maiden staged a series of charity concerts and were involved in the founding of the Clive Burr MS Trust Fund. Burr now uses a wheelchair because of the MS. Burr is now patron of the charity Clive Aid, a charity formed in 2004. Clive Aid has since continued to raise awareness and funds for various Cancer and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) programs around the world through the staging of rock events.[3] Clive attends many of these events. Official Site of Clive Aid [4] Burr's signature white drum kit was donated to the Hard Rock Cafe in London in 2005.

Paul Mario Day (born 19 April 1956, Whitechapel, East London) was the original lead vocalist of Iron Maiden from 1975 to 1976. He later formed a band called More that played at the Donington Monsters of Rock Festival in 1981.[1] He was lead singer of Wildfire in 1983 to 1984. He recorded a live album at the Marquee Club in London as lead singer of The Sweet in 1986. On Iron Maiden's Early Days DVD it was mentioned that Day had a good voice but was sacked because he didn't have enough stage-charisma. He was replaced by Dennis Wilcock, who compensated for his lack of vocal prowess with on-stage theatrics in the style of Kiss. Paul Day now lives in Australia (since 1986), he sings with two bands in Newcastle, Australia called Defaced. He sings and writes for Crimson Lake, an unsigned hard rock band.

Paul Andrews (born 17 May 1958, in Chingford, London),[2] [3] better known as Paul Di'Anno, is an English singer best known as the first vocalist to record with the iconic heavy metal band Iron Maiden, from 1978 to 1981. In his post-Maiden career, Di'Anno has issued numerous albums over the years, as both a solo artist and as a member of such bands as Gogmagog, Di'Anno's Battlezone, Praying Mantis, and Killers. In the mid-1990s, rumours began to surface that Di'Anno might be rejoining Iron Maiden (after the exit of Bruce Dickinson in 1993), but the speculation proved to be false, with former Wolfsbane vocalist Blaze Bayley joining Iron Maiden, before reuniting with Dickinson in 1999. In 2001, Di'Anno moved to São Paulo, Brazil. As of that time he was still playing music. He released his solo album, Living Dead, in 2006. Paul has had several businesses outside of the music industry including an internet cafe and a hotel/restaurant in England, which he has now sold. He currently lives in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England.[4] All 3 albums by Battlezone have recently been re-released as a box set under the title of The Fight Goes On. Di'Anno is currently recording a new solo album with Paulo Turin,[5] the guitarist who worked on Feel My Pain and Nomad. The album is being produced by Dieter Roth in his own studio in Germany.

Career Iron Maiden (1978–1981) Di'Anno grew up in England — spending his teenage years singing in various rock bands and working as a butcher and chef. He became the band's singer after the departure of the very unpredictable Dennis Wilcock who had pressured Iron Maiden founder and bassist Steve Harris into firing every member of Iron Maiden (including Dave Murray) before becoming fed up himself. According to Iron Maiden's The Early Days DVD he was introduced into the band by drummer Doug Sampson, an old friend of Steve's from his days in Smiler. Their first audition with Rod

Paul Di'Anno Smallwood reputedly failed when Paul was arrested for showing off his pocket-knife in public. 1980's self-titled release quickly became acknowledged as a classic of its genre, as the band merged punk's energy with metal's riffs and progressive rock complexity, serving as the blueprint for such future genres as thrash metal and speed metal. 1981 saw the release of their second album, Killers, as well as a stopgap live EP, Maiden Japan. After having cancelled gigs due to Di'Anno's inability and, at times, lack of desire to perform, which has been put down to cocaine abuse and heavy drinking, Iron Maiden decided that to progress they would have to find a singer capable of withstanding the rigours of being on tour. They found a replacement in former Samson frontman Bruce Dickinson. In 1981 he left Iron Maiden after a meeting between him and the band and its manager Rod Smallwood. In Di'Anno's words: "It's like having Mussolini and Adolf Hitler run your band. Because it is Rod Smallwood and Steve Harris and that's it. There can't be anyone else and my character is too strong for that so me an' Steve was always fighting".[4]

Di'Anno (1983–1985) Di'Anno was the first project by Paul Di'Anno after he was fired from Iron Maiden. This group was originally called Lonewolf but after certain disagreements with a group already called Lone Wolf, they changed their name and ended up recording only one album under the simple moniker of Di'Anno. On the tour Paul refused to play any Iron Maiden songs (much to the dismay of the crowd), playing only their own songs and a few other covers (most notably Van Halen's version of the Kinks' "You Really Got Me," and "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood"). After little success, the six-piece band disbanded shortly after they were done touring. The only other items available from this band are a single of "Heartuser," a single Japanese release of "Flaming Heart" and a Sweden-only VHS release called Live at the Palace (now available on DVD as Di'Anno Live From London). During this performance, the band played an unreleased song entitled "Spiritual Guidance," which Paul told the audience would be on the band's forthcoming new album. This album was never recorded, leading some fans of the Di'Anno project to speculate that there may yet be more material from 1984–1985 lying around somewhere. Last known line-up • • • • •

Gogmagog (1985) In 1985, Di'Anno was to work on a project with a number of hired musicians. The group, called "Gogmagog" (see the Biblical book Ezekiel 38:1-2), was put together by DJ and record producer Jonathan King. Gogmagog was a rock opera project. King brought in Di'Anno , drummer Clive Burr, guitarists Janick Gers and Pete Willis along with Neil Murray on bass. Russ Ballard was hired to write some songs and a 3 track EP called "I Will Be There" was recorded. However, the EP was not released until after the group had disbanded. The three songs are only demos to be part of an album in which many more songs were written but never recorded.

Battlezone (1985–1989, 1998) After the break up of his self-titled band, Di'Anno formed Strike whilst in America with drummer Bob Falck (who had used the name Sid Falck while playing drums in Overkill) and guitarist John Hurley. The project was eventually named Battlezone, after a name straight from a comic book[6] , upon the vocalist's return to Britain in 1985.[7] Paul had previously known Battlezone guitarists John Wiggins and John Hurley from bands such as "Deep Machine" and "Iron Cross".[6]

Paul Di'Anno The band's initial line-up comprised Di'Anno, guitarists Hurley and Darren Aldridge, bassist Laurence Kessler and Adam Parsons on drums. The latter had gone under the stage name A.D. Dynamite whilst in "Aunt May". However, Parsons left shortly after to form the London based Glam troupe "Belladonna" and Falck reappeared on the scene in time to record the band's first album Fighting Back. 1986 also saw the enrollment of former Lonewolf and Tokyo Blade guitarist John Wiggins. Battlezone performed a club tour of America in 1987 to promote the début Fighting Back, but musical differences, arguments and physical fights within the band led to the departure of John Hurley and Bob Falck after the first tour. According to Di'Anno's book "The Beast", Hurley had become an "egomaniac" and the drummer Falck a "liability", so they were thrown out the band. As Hurley and Flack had been responsible for the writing of "Fighting Back" in its entirety, there were concerns about this move. Their places were taken by ex-Persian Risk members Graham Bath and Steve Hopgood respectively following the tour's completion. The second album to be released was entitled Children of Madness and achieved considerable commercial success. It featured a track entitled "Metal Tears" which is about a guy who was unable to have a steady relationship and built a female robot who he subsequently fell in love with. The original idea came from a book titled "Clone".[8] However, the track received criticism from the media for being very similar to a track (entitled "London") on Queensryche's Rage for Order album. Guitarist Graham Bath, who had been recruited to play second guitar, wasn't enthusiastic about touring, so he was fired from the band. Peter West, the bassist, recommended a replacement Alf Batz, who joined just in time to go to New York for the video shoot."[8] The video for "I Don't Wanna Know" was played in rotation on MTV in the US. Drugs and infighting again put a strain on the band. Towards the end of the final tour, most members had quit leaving Di'Anno to complete the tour with a backing band in order to fulfill his contract. Subsequently, American guitarist Randy Scott, along with Dave Harman on guitar and Eddie Davidson on bass, signed up with Battlezone. However, the band were without proper management and disbanded shortly after. Following the break up of Battlezone, Di'Anno and Hopgood formed power metal band "Killers" releasing four albums. Hurley would later form glam rock band "L.O. Girls" and release the "Twelve Bore Honeymoon" single in 1990 and "Just Can't Say I Love You" in 1993. During 1990 Di'Anno fronted Praying Mantis for a tour of Japan which was recorded for the subsequent Live At Last album release with ex-Iron Maiden guitarist Dennis Stratton. Wiggins joined a reformed Tokyo Blade in 1995. By 1998 Di'Anno had resurrected the name Battlezone. Joining him were Wiggins and fellow ex-Tokyo Blade members bassist Colin Riggs and drummer Marc Angel. Second guitars were supplied by Paulo Turin. This line up cut the Feel My Pain album, released by the fledgling "Zoom Club" label. Working titles for the album included "Spoon Face" and "Smack", both containing references to heroin use. The album had a heavier edge compared to the first two Battlezone albums. The band undertook a sell out Brazilian tour in January 1998 with erstwhile Killers colleagues bassist Gavin Cooper and guitarist Nick Burr joined him on this South American tour. The band toured Brazil in the same year playing a three week tour to sold out audiences up to 6000 fans a night. Being brought back down to earth Battlezone upon their return home put on a gig at the Walthamstow Royal Standard with an audience of only a hundred or so and a gig at JB's Dudley in the West Midlands attracting fewer than a dozen fans. A live track from the Walthamstow gig later appeared on a compilation of all three Battlezone albums, entitled Cessation of Hostilities. Ex-Battlezone bassist Gavin Cooper joined Lionsheart in December 2004, then moved onto Statetrooper in May 2005. The bassist subsequently joined the ranks of Magnum singer Bob Catley's solo band for UK dates in April 2006. In mid-2008, a Battlezone compilation entitled The Fight Goes On was released as on the Phantom Sound & Vision label as a 3 CD box set featuring all 3 Battlezone studio albums.

Praying Mantis (1990) After being dropped by BMG, Praying Mantis disbanded. Then, in a Spinal Tap-ish twist of fate, Paul Di’Anno called Dennis Stratton in 1989 about the Japanese wanting to a ten-year anniversary of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. The band found themselves enjoying a renaissance in Tokyo, Japan, prompting a reformation and tour in April 1990, which yielded the Live at Last LP.[9]

Killers (1990–1997, 2001–2003) Killers was formed back in 1990 or in 1991. Cliff Evans was living in New York with the manager of Fastway. Steve Hopgood, who played in Battlezone with Paul previously, called him and outlined his plans for a new band. Paul flew over to New York from L.A. where they formed a band. Within a few days, they had hired John Gallagher (from Raven) to play bass on a short-term basis and an American, Ray De Tone, on second guitar. Shortly afterward, a live album called Assault on South America was recorded, featuring a number of Iron Maiden and Battlezone tracks and covers of "We Will Rock You" and "Smoke on the Water". This was recorded primarily for the South American market, as a South American "money guy" was involved who was interested in backing a tour in the region.[10] "Recorded in Brazil, Argentina and Venezuela in Summer of 1993" is splashed on the back cover. However, according to John Gallagher, the South American tour fell thorough so the entire album was recorded on a mobile recording truck in New York.[11] Later, a Canada-based record company called Magnetic Air Productions was to issue a pirate (bootleg) release worldwide, under a different cover, with no royalties being paid to the band. Killers then played a showcase for several major record companies including Virgin, EMI, Sony and BMG. Representatives flew into New York from all over the world to see Killers play. They played only Iron Maiden songs because the band hadn't written any material. Maiden songs played included "Phantom of the Opera" and "Wrathchild" which evidently impressed a BMG representative enough to give the band a $250,000 contract. BMG were unaware that these songs had been recorded previously. Once Killers had the record deal they started to write the first album entitled Murder One. The band moved to Binghamton, where they stayed in a motel in which the owner had a set up rehearsal studio. The album was written in about in two weeks. It took only a further month to get it recorded. Drums were subsequently recorded in Vermont in half a day. The album was given finishing touches at The Powerstation in New York. After the release of Murder One, Paul married an English girl whom he flew in to New York. Drugs and alcohol took their toll and the marriage quickly fell apart. Paul left New York and moved in with his new American girlfriend in LA. A fight between him and his new girlfriend involving a knife alerted the attention of the police, who

Paul Di'Anno came into the apartment and arrested him for spousal abuse, cocaine possession and firearms offenses. After a court appearance, he was sentenced to 4 months in the L.A. County Jail. It was here that Paul began writing songs for the next Killers album and posting them over to the UK, where the band were now living. Paul returned to the UK after being deported. It was here that the band was signed to Bleeding Hearts records located in Newcastle where they recorded their second studio album. It was entitled Menace to Society after a comment made by the L.A. Judge. However, with a Pantera-like style it was poorly received by many critics with the exception of Metal Hammer magazine in Germany who voted it as the "Best New Album" for that year. By 2003, Paul and Cliff were to tour as the only original members of Killers remaining. Paul then hired new musicians whom he remembered from touring in Germany and Austria. Marcus Thurston was to join the band as second guitarist, Darayus Kaye took over bass duties and Pete Newdeck on drums. Steve had to retire as he developed tinnitus in his ears. The guitarist Graham Bath damaged his hands from playing so much over the years and developed arthritis.[12] According to Di'Anno he had wanted Clive Burr (ex-Iron Maiden) to drum but he couldn't get to rehearsals in time. However, later on Burr was to become severely ill from Multiple Sclerosis.

Nomad /Di'Anno 1999–2001, 2003–2008) Following the demise of the new Battlezone unit put together in 1998, Di'Anno teamed up with expat Brazilian guitarist Paulo Turin and lived in São Paulo during 2000. A new band was created initially under the banner of "Nomad" and featured an all Brazilian line up. It was economically and logistically preferable for Di'Anno to live in Brazil during this period to tour South America and release a self-produced album pleasing to that particular market. The album was distributed by Perris Records. However, complete worldwide distribution was not achieved. The album was repackaged and released as The Living Dead. The package included a DVD video for the title track. This was recorded in the East London Docks and directed by Swedish director Mats Lundberg, who went to London to work on the concept with Di'Anno's manager Lea Hart. All of the special effects were added in Sweden and the story line was based on the lyrics and message of the song. Few previously released live Iron Maiden tracks were also added to the CD.[13]

RockFellas and the Future (2008 onward) Late 2008, Di'anno relocated to the southeast of Brazil and toured with a new band/project named ROCKFELLAS with 3 Brazilian musicians: Jean Dolabella (drummer) ex-Diesel/Udora/now in Sepultura, Marcão (guitarrist) ex-Charlie Brown Jr/now in TH6 and Canisso of Raimundos/ex-Rodox, playing rock & roll and metal classics. There, he was nicknamed "Paulo Baiano" ("Paulo" = Paul in portuguese, Baiano = Who was born in Bahia) During 2010 Australia and New Zealand will be treated To a 30th Anniversary Tour celebrating Iron Maidens Debut Album performed in its Entirety.

Paul Di'Anno

The Beast Di'Anno has released a autobiography titled The Beast (ISBN 1-904034-03-9) and has allegedly had interludes with various drugs. The book includes a chapter of stories and comments regarding Di'Anno from former bandmates including Dennis Stratton, John Wiggins and Steve Hopgood.

Singing style In comparison to his successor in Iron Maiden, Di'Anno is remembered for having a more "punk" sound to his singing, in part because he began his singing career in punk band the Paedophiles. Though Di'Anno was able to hit high-notes, he does not typically sing in Dickinson's trademark high tenor range. He usually sang with a raspy and rougher sound, although he was capable of singing with a purer voice as demonstrated by slower numbers like Remember Tomorrow, Strange World and Prodigal Son. Later in his career Di'Anno's style, along with his music, became darker and more aggressive.

Religion Di'Anno's religious affiliation is made uncertain by his own words; he has given interviews that contradict each other on this subject, perhaps as a practical joke. A sign that he is in fact an atheist is that he has a tattoo on the back of his head that says "666" and "GOD = SUCKER".[14] According to his autobiography, he converted to Islam in the 1990s after reading the Holy Qur'an. However he has subsequently reversed that position: I think religion kills everybody. I don’t believe in it. ... No, my father was a Muslim, I must admit. But I don’t give a fuck.[15] In later interviews Di'Anno clarifies that he never was a true Muslim, that he never stopped drinking, but tried to become a better person by applying some of the Muslim philosophies to his life. Again according to his autobiography, he has claimed to be Muslim, Catholic, Jewish and even Aborigine.

Tony Moore Tony Moore (born Antony Moore, 11 October 1958 in Bristol) is an English singer/songwriter, musician, radio presenter and music promoter. He was also one of the early members of Iron Maiden. He first became famous in 1986 as keyboard player with the band Cutting Crew, and in 1997 he founded The Kashmir Klub to showcase live music in London.

Musical career Iron Maiden Tony Moore's background in the music industry has been eclectic and diverse. The first band he joined in 1977 was (the then unknown) Iron Maiden. A fan of Progressive rock, Moore was working in the Hi-Fi department of Debenhams store in Bristol, and had just bought a small Korg synthesiser when he saw an advertisement in the Melody Maker for a keyboard player for a London band. This turned out to be Iron Maiden. He contacted Steve Harris, and even though their music was not the kind of thing Moore had played or really listened to before, he auditioned and was invited to join the band. He moved to London to begin rehearsals. At that time members of the band all had day jobs and rehearsed once or twice a week. As this was the height of the Pop rock era, their first gig with the new line-up was at a pub called The Bridgehouse in Canning Town. In Moore's own words[1] : "The whole gig was a bit of a blur (as live performances often are). The adrenaline, the nerves, the concentration all played their part to produce a misty memory of the event. However, I think it is right to say, everyone felt there was something fundamentally not right in what was happening. For my part, I felt that the whole show felt a little pub rock and amateurish, I didn't think that my contribution was actually enhancing the band. In many ways it was an important bad gig. I think that, had the gig gone well, we may have struggled on with that lineup when, in hindsight, it was so obviously wrong. The following weeks produced a sense of unrest within the band and a feeling that things were unspoken and resentments and frustrations were being surpressed [sic] just below the surface. I remember the last rehearsal I had with the group, in a railway arch midway between Elephant and Castle and Blackfriars Bridge, where things seemed strained and un-natural. I think I realised at that point, that the band didn't really need a keyboard player. No matter how much I liked and respected Steve's dream, and passion and energy, I didn't seem to fit in." Moore left soon afterwards, and joked later that he left because he believed Iron Maiden would never make it. He then began working with Brian James (from The Damned) releasing a single on RADAR records and touring in support to Black Sabbath and The Stranglers before moving on to join a progressive rock band called England. In the early 1980s he formed his own group called Radio Java and made an album at Abbey Road Studios that spawned a number one hit single in the Netherlands before disbanding after the label closed down.

Cutting Crew In 1986 Moore was invited to play keyboards with a new band called Cutting Crew who went on to have a world wide hit with "(I Just) Died In Your Arms Tonight". For two more years he toured the world and recorded with the band, at which point he signed a solo deal with a small independent label in London. He released one single to critical acclaim (including airplay from Bob Harris) before joining forces with Argentine singer/songwriter Marie Claire D'ubaldo. He co-wrote and co-produced tracks for her debut album on Polydor records that sold over 250,000 worldwide.

A Song For Europe In 2001, Moore performed his own composition, That's My Love in the A Song For Europe contest, hoping to represent the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest. He finished 2nd in the competition, behind Lindsay Dracass. He wrote other songs for the contest in earlier years.

Perfect & Beautiful In 2005, after several years concentrating on club management, Moore resumed his solo musical career and began recording his own material independently. He announced his intention to produce an album, with almost no budget, no major record company backing and only 9 days to record, mix and master the final product. This resulted in a 13 track solo album entitled Perfect and Beautiful, recorded at Sphere Studios in London, released in July 2005.

The later years In March 2006 he toured America, performing in Nashville, Austin, Los Angeles and New York and has continued to perform live on his return to the UK in April 2006. More recently Moore has been touring acoustically in pubs all over the Home Counties. He also performs regularly at The Bedford and The Regal Room in London. Early in 2008, Moore became the regular presenter of a one hour live show called "Lets Talk Music" for the Maltese television station One TV . Broadcast every Thursday night at 8.35 pm (Maltese time), it features a panel of music professionals who discuss different aspects of the music business and answer questions from the audience, together with live performances by celebrity guests. He also has a regular Thursday morning preview slot on the show "One Breakfast".[2]

Club management In 1997 he established the The Kashmir Klub in London. The formula of providing an excellent sound system, sourcing the best of emerging and established artists, hosting the show - like live TV - and getting everyone to perform in an acoustic and "back to basics" format, quickly made it into one of the most important live music venues in London. Over its seven year history Moore introduced debut London performances from Damien Rice, Tom Baxter, Lucie Silvas, and KT Tunstall as well as unannounced sets from Sheryl Crow, Dave Stewart, Fleetwood Mac, Nik Kershaw, Rick Astley and many more. The Kashmir closed in 2003 after the building was closed for re-development. In July 2003 he took over the management of music nights at The Bedford in Balham, creating a similar live music venue, with an emphasis on emerging talent as well as established acts. In 2004 it won Best Pub in the country, it has twice won the best pub and club award as well as the Evening Standard pub of the year. Moore was one of the first promoters to pioneer the use of the internet and the regular live performances at The Bedford are freely available to all four nights a week, via a dedicated webcam and chatroom. From 2003–2005 Tony Moore also co-presented an overnight show on BBC London 94.9fm where he brought live music guests into the studio and championed the cause of new talent.

Tony Moore In 2004 he was made the sole Inductee into the MMF (Music Managers Forum) Roll of Honour for outstanding contribution to the British Music Industry. In 2006 he started to collaborate with Quirky Motion on the weekly Bedford Bandstand music program, which he presents. Each show seeks to bring a new artist to a wider audience. These episodes are freely available both as a podcast and on YouTube.[3] Tony Moore opened an additional live acoustic venue, The Regal Room, in December 2006, based at The Distillers, 64, Fulham Palace Road, Hammersmith, London. Showcasing up and coming artists, this is run along the same lines as the Kashmir Klub and The Bedford, with free entry and live webcasts.[4]

Associated acts Iron Maiden

Doug Sampson (born June 30, 1957 in Hackney, East London) was the third drummer for Iron Maiden.[1] He was in the band from 1977 to 1979. Prior to joining Maiden, Sampson was a member of one of Steve Harris' previous groups, which was called Smiler 1974-75. He was one of the four members of the band to sign a record contract with EMI. However, shortly after he fell ill due to the rigours of touring. He was replaced by Clive Burr shortly before the recording of the self-titled first Iron Maiden album. Sampson appears on the legendary demo Soundhouse Tapes as well as the song "Burning Ambition" from the very first Iron Maiden single Running Free. He should not be confused with Paul Samson from the band Samson, which also had as members several people who were also in Iron Maiden, including Bruce Dickinson, Clive Burr, and Thunderstick.

Thunderstick

Thunderstick Thunderstick (aka Barry Graham or Barry Purkis) was a drummer for the English heavy metal band Iron Maiden briefly in 1977. He was later in the band Samson.[1] He wore a mask onstage much like a professional wrestler and sometimes played inside a cage. His stint in Maiden was left notoriously short due to him being incapable of playing properly while intoxicated (at one show he actually fell asleep during a song). In rare occurrence his face was seen when he performed the main-role in the B-Movie Biceps of Steel, featuring his band at the time Samson. In the film his brother-in-law performed as Thunderstick in his stead.

Iron Maiden is a British heavy metal band founded in 1975 by bassist and only original member, Steve Harris. The band has released fifteen studio albums, as well as numerous live albums, compilations, EPs, singles, video albums, music videos, and box sets. After several auditions and lineup changes, they settled on vocalist Paul Di'Anno, guitarists Dave Murray and Dennis Stratton and drummer Clive Burr. They released their self-titled debut album in 1980; quickly becoming one of the leading proponents of the NWOBHM movement.[1] Guitarist Adrian Smith replaced Stratton, and a "consistent highlight", Killers, was released in 1981.[2] Later that year, vocalist Bruce Dickinson replaced Paul Di'Anno, marking the beginning of a series of top-ten high-impact releases.[3] They issued "the 1982 masterpiece", The Number of the Beast,[4] becoming the band's first release to top the UK charts, and receive a platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America. Drummer Nicko McBrain replaced Clive Burr,[5] and the band released Piece of Mind in 1983, followed by a "true heavy metal achievement", 1984's Powerslave.[6] Iron Maiden broadened their sound with the use of guitar synthesizers in 1986's Somewhere in Time.[7] Their following concept album, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, was released in 1988, and also topped the UK charts. The lineup remained unchanged until Adrian Smith left the band during the pre-production of their last gold-certified album in the US, 1990's No Prayer for the Dying; he was replaced by Janick Gers. Their last number one album in the UK, Fear of the Dark, was released in 1992. The following year, Dickinson departed from the band.[8] His replacement, Blaze Bayley, debuted in 1995 with The X Factor, "a lackluster" album that marked a decline on the band's career.[9] The diminished fan interest in 1998 with Virtual XI prompted Bayley's departure.[10]

Dickinson and Smith returned to the band in 1999, and a new album, Brave New World, was issued in 2000. Three years later, Dance of Death was released, which marked "a triumphant return" to success.[11] In 2006 they released "a more elaborate and meandering" album, A Matter of Life and Death,[12] which received, along with their two previous albums, a gold certification by the BPI. On 25 May 2009, the band released Flight 666, a video which covers the first leg of the Somewhere Back in Time World Tour; it reached number 1 in over 20 countries.[13] As the most successful heavy metal band of all time, Iron Maiden have sold more than 80 million albums worldwide.[14]

"Sanctuary" Released: 23 May 1980

Iron Maiden, released on April 14, 1980, is the debut album by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. It was released by EMI in the UK, reaching number 4 in the UK album charts. The album was released a few months later in the U.S. originally on Harvest/Capitol Records and subsequently Sanctuary Records/Columbia Records and included the song "Sanctuary", which had been released in the UK only as a single, added to the track listing. In 1998, just like all other pre-X Factor albums, the album was re-released, and "Sanctuary" was added in all territories. Of all the songs in this album, "Phantom of the Opera," "Running Free," "Sanctuary" and "Iron Maiden" remain on the set lists of nearly all of the band's concert tours, with the latter used to introduce a giant representation of the band's mascot Eddie from the back of the stage. Four songs from the album: "Prowler", "Remember Tomorrow", "Running Free" and "Iron Maiden" were covered for the 2008 tribute album Maiden Heaven: A Tribute to Iron Maiden released by Kerrang! magazine. Every song on this album except 'Strange World' has since been recorded by the Dickinson-fronted line-up of the band, either on live albums, on studio B-Sides, or both.

History This was the only album produced by Will Malone, who lacked interest in the project and allowed the band to produce most of the album themselves. The band (especially Steve Harris) criticised the quality of the production, but many fans like the raw, almost punk-like sound to the songs. This was also the only studio album for guitarist Dennis Stratton, who left a short time after the album was released. He was replaced by Adrian Smith. "Transylvania" is a well known instrumental piece by the band which was composed by founder and bassist Steve Harris. The song was covered by Iced Earth on the album Horror Show. "Strange World" tells of a dystopian society, where people never grow old. Amongst other things the narrator (singer) laments how "smiling faces [are] ever so rare". Meanwhile, "Charlotte the Harlot" is the first of four Iron Maiden songs which make reference to the fictional prostitute 'Charlotte'. The 7-minute epic "Phantom of the Opera" remains a fan favourite, and is still performed at many Maiden concerts, while live performances of "Iron Maiden" often signal the entrance of band mascot Eddie onto the stage. "Running Free" was released as a single on February 23rd, 1980, and reached number 34 in the UK singles chart. The band also performed the song entirely live on the UK TV show Top Of The Pops. The usual tradition was for artists to lip-synch, and Maiden were the first band to perform their song without lip-synching on the show since The Who in 1972. The "Sanctuary" single was released on June 7th, and charted at number 29. Manager Rod Smallwood's management company was named after the song. The 1998 re-release has, besides the addition of the previously mentioned song "Sanctuary", a different cover than the original release. The picture is the same, except that it's redrawn. However, on recent advertising-posters and the Iron Maiden website, the original cover is once again shown. Metal For Muthas Tour and Europe 80 was the tour supporting the album Iron Maiden.

"Purgatory" Released: 15 June 1981

Killers is the second album by English heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on February 2, 1981 in the UK, and June, 1981 in the US. The album was the first of their albums to feature guitarist Adrian Smith, and the last to feature vocalist Paul Di'Anno, who was fired from the band mid-tour due to problems with alcohol and cocaine. This was also the first Iron Maiden album produced by veteran producer Martin Birch who went on to produce their next eight albums before retiring after Fear of the Dark in 1992. Being the most popular song on the album, "Wrathchild" has been on the set lists of nearly all of the band's concert tours. The song was covered in 2005 by the female tribute The Iron Maidens on their 2007 album Route 666 and again in 2008 by Gallows on the tribute CD Maiden Heaven: A Tribute to Iron Maiden released by Kerrang! magazine.[3] The song Wrathchild was also featured in the PlayStation 2 game Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s.

History The album is an unusual one in that it features two instrumentals and was written almost exclusively by Steve Harris with only minor assistance from the rest of the band. Only the title track and "Twilight Zone" received additional writing credits. All of the songs, with the exception of "Murders in the Rue Morgue" and "Prodigal Son," were written before the release of their debut album (they could not fit all of them on one album, and the songs were later re-recorded anyway to feature Adrian Smith); an early version of "Wrathchild" was featured on the Metal for Muthas compilation. The U.S. edition, which came out a few months after its UK release, was initially released on Harvest Records/Capitol Records and subsequently on Sanctuary Records/Columbia Records. "Twilight Zone" was also added to the album. The song "Murders in the Rue Morgue" is based on the story of the same name by Edgar Allan Poe. "Rue Morgue" is the name of a fictitious street in Paris, it translates in English as "Mortuary Street". However, the only reference to the story in the song is when two girls are found dead. Killers World Tour was the tour supporting the album. This tour would feature the band's first ever concert in America.

The Number of the Beast is the third studio album by British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. The album was released on March 29, 1982 through EMI and on its sister label Capitol on the Harvest imprint in the US originally before it was re-released by Sanctuary/Columbia in the US. This was the debut of vocalist Bruce Dickinson in Iron Maiden. It has been cited as one of the most influential heavy metal albums of all time, and is widely acknowledged as one of the best and most iconic albums of the genre. The Number of the Beast also cemented Iron Maiden as one of "the biggest metal bands on the planet". Of all the songs in the album, "The Number of the Beast", "Run to the Hills" and "Hallowed Be Thy Name" remain on the set lists of nearly all of the band's concert tours, with the latter two often used to close a show. All three songs have been released as singles in various forms. The album is also Iron Maiden's highest selling album worldwide with over 14 million sales estimated. The Beast on the Road was the tour supporting the album.

History The Number of the Beast marked Bruce Dickinson's debut with the band. Since this album (and its tour, Beast on the Road), "The Beast" has become something of a nickname for the band and possibly Eddie, as suggested by albums such as Best of the Beast (which featured a 'best of Eddie' mural on the cover), Beast over Hammersmith, and the DVD Visions of the Beast. This album is the only one to feature songwriting by drummer Clive Burr. This is one of several reasons why the album was so different from previous ones other than the obvious change in lead singer. It was the first album with writing by Adrian Smith (see below track listing for details), and the first to feature writing by the 'new' Steve Harris (his older style had been written for different musicians, and in a different time) - the entire writing system was different. However, it is one of the few albums not to feature a Dave Murray song, and the first album not to feature an instrumental.

Writing Credits According to several interviews with Bruce Dickinson, he was very involved in the writing of some of the tracks on the album. Because of contractual issues with his previous band Samson, Dickinson couldn't be credited for the writing. Dickinson mentions in particular the tracks "Children of the Damned", "The Prisoner" and "Run to the Hills".[1]

Rolling Stone

It was widely panned by mainstream media upon its release, including Rolling Stone, who claimed that it "blusters along aimlessly, proving again that bad music is hell." [5]

''The Number of the Beast'' It was also panned by social conservatives, especially in America. Due to its title, Iron Maiden was called a "Satanic band" in the US. Their Beast on the Road tour was marred by boycotts and protests. However, it was well received by Iron Maiden fans and is considered to be one of their best albums. All Music Guide, in its official review of the album -written by Steve Huey-, stated: "The Number of the Beast is quite simply one of the best heavy metal albums ever released". The album was ranked number 17 on Guitar World's list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Albums of All Time.[6] In 2000 Q magazine placed the album at number 100 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever, and a year later the same magazine named it as one of the 50 Heaviest Albums Of All Time.[7] In 2006, Q magazine placed the album at #40 in its list of "40 Best Albums of the '80s".[8] The BBC made a documentary of this album in their Classic Albums series. IGN named it the third greatest heavy metal album of all time.[9] Metal-Rules.com named this the second greatest heavy metal album of all time.[10] The album is also a part of EMI's "Albums That Shaped Rock History" series.

Album artwork The album was also the centre of controversy, particularly in America, due to the lyrics of the title track and the cover art depicting Satan being controlled by Eddie. This cover art was originally intended for an earlier single, "Purgatory", but the band felt the cover was too high of caliber for just a single and a less complex image was used for the single instead. The title track, "Number of the Beast", was said not be a satanic song but was actually instead inspired by bass player Steve Harris's nightmare about being trapped in Hell, triggered after watching Damien: Omen II. The album's cover art has been parodied several times - by crossover thrash band Stormtroopers of Death for the cover art of their 1999 album Bigger Than the Devil, and on a T-shirt by underground New York Hip Hop Label Uncle Howie Records.[11] Streetwear brand Diamond Supply Co. parodied the album cover for a shirt in their line. Nick Tershay, founder of Diamond is reported as having had to pay $50,000 due to the parody being too close to the original art work. The original 1982 artwork includes a light blue sky in the background; this was a mistake by the printers of the album cover, and was later rectified and became black when the album was remastered for compact disc in 1998.

Lyrical themes While the title track was thought by many to mean that Iron Maiden were Satanists, in fact the song was inspired by a nightmare bassist Steve Harris had, triggered by watching the film Damien: Omen II late at night. While he was quite scared of the Satanic images he saw in his nightmare, he also felt them amusing, and after that, he obtained the idea for the song, and also for the title of the album. "Children of the Damned" is based on the films Village of the Damned and Children of the Damned, which in turn were adapted from the novel The Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham. On a recent "Bruce Dickinson Rock Show" on BBC Radio 6, Dickinson told Ronnie James Dio that Children of the Damned was inspired by Black Sabbath's "Children of the Sea". "The Prisoner" was inspired by the British TV show of the same name, and features dialogue from its title sequence. Rod Smallwood had to telephone Patrick McGoohan to ask permission to use the dialogue for the song. According to witnesses the usually calm Smallwood was completely star struck during the conversation. McGoohan was reported to have said "What did you say the name was? Iron Maiden? Do it." Iron Maiden later made another song based on the series, "Back in the Village" from Powerslave. "22 Acacia Avenue" is the second song in the "Charlotte the Harlot" saga. The title track opens with a spoken introduction which draws heavily from the King James Version of Revelation 13:18, and is apparently inspired by Tam o' Shanter by Robert Burns. Barry Clayton is the name of the actor who

speaks those opening lines on the album.

Classic Albums The making of the album was released as a video on December 4, 2001 through Eagle Visions, as part of the documentary series, Classic Albums. The video was directed by Tim Kirkby and featured cuts from the title track, "Children of the Damned", "Run to the Hills", and "The Prisoner". In addition, extended interviews and live footage of "Hallowed Be Thy Name" —recorded during the band's performance at the Rock in Rio festival in 2001— were included. The video reached number 9 on the Norwegian DVD Charts,[12] and was certifed Gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association.[13] It was released in DVD, VHS and UMD formats, and featured subtitles in six different languages, Dutch, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and French.

On October 24, 2002, progressive metal outfit Dream Theater played the original album in its entirety at La Mutualite in Paris, France. The performance was recorded and has been released through the band's YtseJam Records label.

"Run To The Hills" was covered on the all-star tribute album Numbers From The Beast, featuring vocalist Robin McAuley, guitarists Michael Schenker and Pete Fletcher, bassist Tony Franklin, and drummer Brian Tichy. The version slightly varied from the original, in terms of guitars, when Schenker added small solos. "Children of the Damned" was covered by Sebastian Bach of Skid Row fame. "Hallowed Be Thy Name" & "The Number Of The Beast" was covered by Iced Earth on their album, Tribute To The Gods. Machine Head also covered it on the Maiden Heaven: A Tribute To Iron Maiden tribute album released by Kerrang! magazine in 2008. It was also covered by Cradle of Filth. The album has also been used in several video games - "Run To The Hills" is featured on SSX On Tour as the opening theme, and a cover version is a track in Rock Band in which it is the only song on the disk listed as an 'Impossible' song for all the instruments. In addition, the master tracks of the songs "The Number of the Beast", "Run to the Hills" and "Hallowed Be Thy Name" (the latter being a live recording found on Flight 666) were made downloadable to Rock Band as part of a 12 pack on June 8, 2009. In Guitar Hero III, the hit song "The Number of the Beast" was featured.

Reissues The album was reissued in 1995 with bonus tracks, "Total Eclipse" and a live version of "Remember Tomorrow", which had been previously released as the b-sides of the album's two singles. The album reissue incorrectly includes Paul Di'Anno in the song-writing credits for "Total Eclipse", which had actually been written by Harris, Murray, and Burr. In addition, the liner notes claim this version of "Remember Tomorrow" was recorded live in Milan, Italy, during Bruce Dickinson's first performances with the band in 1981. However, it is the same recording included on Maiden Japan except that with Dickinson's vocals overdubbed over Di'Anno's original performance.[14] It was also released as an enhanced CD version in 1998 which included photos, band history and the music videos for the songs "The Number of the Beast" and "Run to the Hills".

Chart performance The Number of the Beast was released on March 29, 1982, and quickly became a commercial success around the world.[15] It was the band's first effort to top the UK charts, and enter the Billboard 200—at number 150, peaking at #33 and it went Gold. The album reached the top 10 in Austria and Sweden, and hit number 11 and 13 in Canada and Norway respectively. It was awarded platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), and received a gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on October 4, 1983. Although the album failed to chart in Germany, it was certified gold ten years later, and received a 3× platinum award in Canada for sales exceeding 300,000 units. Two songs were released as singles, "Run to the Hills" and the title track, which debuted in the United Kingdom at number 7—their highest chart position at the time— and number 18 respectively. Both songs entered the singles chart in Ireland in the same order —at number 16 and 19.

Piece of Mind is the fourth studio album by British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. It was originally released in 1983 (see 1983 in music) on EMI, and on Capitol in the US; it was reissued later on Sanctuary/Columbia Records. It was the first album to feature drummer Nicko McBrain, who had recently left the Paris-based band Trust. The album ranked 21 on IGN's list of the top 25 metal albums.[2] In 1983, Kerrang! magazine published a poll of the greatest metal albums of all time, with Piece Of Mind ranking number 1, and with The Number of the Beast at number 2.[3] [4] Along with Iron Maiden's follow up studio album Powerslave, Piece of Mind is the band's second highest selling albums, with estimated sales in excess of 13.5 million worldwide. In 1989, Steve Harris announced that Piece Of Mind was the 'best studio album' Iron Maiden had recorded[5] . Until 2000's Brave New World[6] , this album was Bruce Dickinson's favorite album.

''Piece of Mind''

Background Lyrically, the album reflected the group's interest in books and film. For example, To Tame a Land is based on Frank Herbert's science fiction novel Dune. The Trooper is inspired by Tennyson's Charge of the Light Brigade. Still Life is inspired by fantasy/horror writer Clark Ashton Smith's pre-World War II short story Genius Loci. Other inspirations include Where Eagles Dare, a film by Brian G. Hutton, and screenplay & novel by Alistair MacLean; Quest for Fire, based on the film by Jean-Jacques Annaud; the writer G. K. Chesterton who is quoted at the beginning of Revelations, and Sun and Steel, based on Japanese writer Mishima's eponymous essay about samurai legend Miyamoto Musashi. More exotic influences include Greek mythology, albeit slightly altered for Flight of Icarus. Aleister Crowley influenced a good piece of the remaining lyrics of Revelations, which was written by Dickinson. This is the first of four Iron Maiden albums that were not named after a song featured on the album itself (though the words "peace of mind" appear prominently in the album's sixth song, Still Life). In its earliest phase the album was named Food for Thought but was changed so it would suit the artwork more. The name of the last track was meant to be titled Dune, but Frank Herbert, who disliked heavy rock bands, denied permission to use his book's name and thus a new name had to be chosen. Included in the liner notes is a slightly altered version of a passage from the Book of Revelation. As printed in the liner notes, it reads: And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more Death. Neither sorrow, nor crying. Neither shall there be any more brain; for the former things are passed away. The actual text (from Chapter 21, Verse 4) is nearly identical, except that it says "neither shall there be any more pain..." . This change could be seen as a reference to the album's name, or the removal of Eddie's brain on the cover, or to drummer Nicko McBrain's inception into the band for this album. World Piece Tour was the tour supporting the album.

Hidden message At the beginning of the sixth track, Still Life, the band included a hidden message which could only be understood by playing the album backwards. This was a joke and an intended swing back at the critics who had accused Maiden of being satanic. The backwards-message features Nicko McBrain mimicking Idi Amin (or rather mimicking John Bird mimicking Idi Amin) uttering the following phrase "What ho said the t'ing with the three "bonce", do not meddle with things you don't understand...", followed by a belch. The phrase itself is taken from the satirical album The Collected Broadcasts of Idi Amin by Bird and Alan Coren. "What ho" and "What ho said the t'ing" are phrases that also crop up regularly on McBrain's "Listen With Nicko!" tracks from the First Ten Years collection.

Powerslave is the fifth studio album by the English heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on September 2, 1984 on EMI in Europe and its sister label Capitol Records in the US (it was re-released by Sanctuary/Columbia Records in the US in 2002). It is notable for its Egyptian theme displayed in the album art, as well in the title track's musical style. It contains a musical re-telling of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner", which uses pieces of the original poem as lyrics. Furthermore, it is the longest song Iron Maiden have ever recorded, at a length of 13 minutes and 34 seconds. The album is also notable amongst the band's albums as being the first to feature the same lineup as the previous one. As of 2010, this is the last of the band's albums to contain an instrumental track: "Losfer Words (Big 'Orra)."

"2 Minutes to Midnight" and "Aces High" were released as singles, the former being a staple in nearly all of the band's concert tours. World Slavery Tour was the tour supporting the album. The lyrics to "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" are mainly influenced from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem of the same name, and directly quote two passages from the poem, the former including the famous lines of 'Water, water everywhere - nor any drop to drink'.[5] The song can be divided into three phases, the first subscribing to the quintessential 'galloping' metal, the second (around 5 minutes in) being simple and quiet yet dark, and the final stage returning to an upbeat instrumental, and lastly repeating the initial tune. Often played in set lists from its release, the "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is a very popular and highly-regarded song from the band.[6] During the 'Somewhere Back In Time World Tour', Dave Murray, Bruce Dickinson and Steve Harris cited the song as their favourite to play.[7]

Background According to Iron Maiden's DVD Live After Death, the recording of the album took place in the Bahamas in 1984, in the same way its predecessor, Piece Of Mind, was in early 1983. After weeks of drinking and partying on the island, which singer Bruce Dickinson recalls in the video of consisting of 'lethal' Banana Daiquiris[8] , the band set about recording the songs. Steve Harris recalled how, under time pressure, the song 'Rime Of the Ancient Mariner' was written in a short period of time. The video to '2 Minutes to Midnight' was apparently filmed close to where Bruce lived as a student, and illustrated the rate at which computers in the '80s were taking over the world. Once finished, the band began the infamous 'World Slavery Tour', beginning in Europe and ending in California, USA in late 1985. It was the first time a heavy metal band had taken a full set behind the Iron Curtain into Poland, a landmark achievement at the time. The tour continued into South America for the first time where they play to an estimated audience of 300,000 fans at the inaugural Rock In Rio as special guests to the band Queen. The 'Live After Death' album and video, recorded over 4 gigs at Long Beach Arena in LA, are released and respectively go to Nos. 2 and 1 in the UK charts. In total, the tour was 11 months long and touched 26 countries. Powerslave debuted at No. 2 in the UK charts, as a result of their record companies (EMI)'s very first 'Now....That's What l Call Music' pop compilation. According to both Nicko McBrain and Adrian Smith, 'Powerslave' began making Iron Maiden famous 'very fast, very quickly'[9] , as, in South America, hundreds of fans waited outside hotels and restaurants for the band.

Somewhere in Time is the sixth studio album by British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on 29 September 1986 on EMI in Europe and its sister label Capitol Records in the US (it was re-released by Sanctuary/Columbia Records in the US in 2002). The studio follow-up to the hugely successful Powerslave/Live After Death pair, it was the first Iron Maiden album to feature guitar synthesizers. Bruce Dickinson's song material was refused in favour of the songs of guitarist Adrian Smith, who wrote the bulk of the songs identified with the album (including the singles "Wasted Years" and "Stranger in a Strange Land"). While many of the songs from Somewhere in Time have all but disappeared (and some like, "The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner" being only played once) from the band's live shows over the years, "Wasted Years" and

"Heaven Can Wait" have been consistent mainstays of the band's live setlist. Performances of "Heaven Can Wait" have featured a group of local fans and celebrities invited onstage to sing along during the song's middle section. The album also marked a change for Iron Maiden, as it was their first album to introduce synth, although this style was expanded upon in their next album, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. This is also their first studio album not to be released a year after their previous one. The band has never released a studio album a year after the previous again as of 2010. The band began to put more time into writing and recording their albums as well as touring for an extensive time after the release of Powerslave. The 2008 tribute CD Maiden Heaven: A Tribute to Iron Maiden released by Kerrang! magazine features covers of two songs from this album: "Wasted Years" by Devildriver and "Caught Somewhere in Time" by Madina Lake.[3] Somewhere On Tour was the tour supporting the album.

Album cover trivia The cover for Somewhere in Time displays a cyborg-enhanced Eddie in a futuristic, Blade Runner-type environment. Much like the visual richness of the cover of Powerslave, the wrap-around album cover holds a plethora of references to earlier Iron Maiden albums and songs. The cover was originally created for use as the cover to the authorized biography of the band, Running Free by Garry Bushell and Ross Halfin and therefore made many references such as: • The street sign on the corner where Eddie is standing says Acacia (partially obscured), a reference to the song 22 Acacia Avenue from The Number of the Beast album • Below "Acacia" is a poster of Eddie from the first album. • The torn poster below "Acacia" is the one that appears on the Sanctuary and Women in Uniform singles. • Eddie appearing in a similar posture as on the Killers album cover. His victim is killed with a futuristic weapon, as opposed to the axe seen on the Killers cover. While this is undoubtly a reference with the cover of Killers, there is also a significant reference with the cover of the album "Nightflight" (1981) of the band Budgie. On it stands a birdman holding almost the same futuristic weapon and posing as Eddie. Also a futuristic aircraft in the background is not missing. This is no coincidense because that album cover was also drawn by Derek Riggs. It is known that Budgie had its influences on Iron Maiden, were Iron Maiden at least covered one of Budgie's songs "I cant see my feelings", on their "From Here To Eternity" Single. • A banner with the words, "This is a very boring painting" is displayed backwards within the lobby of the Bradbury Towers Hotels International. This can be seen to the left of Eddie's right leg. • In the very center, just above the "Department" ad and behind the cable going to the cyborg's weapon, there is a small vertical ad with red glyphs. The text of this ad is Russian, it is "Меня Рвёт", [Menya Rvyot] - "I'm vomiting", which also literally translates as "It's tearing me up", depending on the context.

''Somewhere in Time'' • An Eye of Horus neon sign at the top of a building, a reference to the song "Powerslave". • Below Eddie, there is a model in the department store window. Some fans believe this is former Maiden singer, Paul Di'Anno. • On the bridge separating the two buildings is a digital clock that says: 23:58. This refers to Iron Maiden's song "2 Minutes to Midnight" • Under Eddie's left leg there is a trash can attached to a post. This is the same trash can that can be seen attached to a lamppost in the background on the cover of the album Iron Maiden. References on the back include: • A clock reading 23:58 ("2 Minutes to Midnight"). • Below the clock there is a sign that reads "Phantom Opera House" in reference to the song "Phantom of the Opera" from the first Iron Maiden album. • Just below the "Phantom Opera House", a writing in very small characters says "Bollocks again & again". This is one of illustrator Derek Riggs' in-jokes, as the word "Bollocks" was hidden in a similar fashion on his previous album cover for Iron Maiden, Powerslave. • On the left side, the "Aces High Bar" ("Aces High" song). • Above the "Aces High Bar", flies a Spitfire-shaped plane. (Spitfires are referenced in "Aces High") • Just below the "Aces High Bar" sign, there is a neon sign representing a plane, apparently in battle, formed by two glasses of stemware. • To the left of the "Aces High Bar", there are four letters in yellow and green. These are Hebrew letters spelling out the name of God, namely ‫הוהי‬, Jehovah/Yahweh (really it is not read, as it is not known exactly how, and, usually, the word ‫יָנֹדֲא‬, Adonai - the Lord, is pronounced on its place in Jewish religious practices). • Below the "Aces High Bar", is a sign that says "Sand Dune" ("To Tame A Land" song, based on a novel "Dune"). • Pyramids in the background (Powerslave cover, also another reference to Blade Runner). • Among the pyramids, a grim reaper. (Similar to the grim reaper that appears on the cover of "The Trooper"). • The marquee for the Movie Theater reads Blade Runner, the film which is the obvious inspiration for the futuristic scene. It also reads "Live After Death", the name of the live album released in 1985. • The cinema is named "Phillip K. Dick Cinema", named after the author of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the book on which the movie Blade Runner was based. • More Blade Runner references include "Dekkers Department Stores" and a "Tyrell Corp" sign. • In the background can be seen "Bradbury Towers" (a likely reference to the Blade Runner prominent Bradbury Building) and The Million Dollar Movie Theater, both located in Los Angeles. It could also be a reference to science fiction author Ray Bradbury • To the right of the clock is a neon sign that reads "Ancient Mariner Seafood Restaurant", a reference to the song "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" from the Powerslave album. • On the bottom left hand side of the cover is "The Ruskin Arms", famous for being one of the first venues performed at by Iron Maiden. • On the second floor of the "Ruskin Arms" building is a woman sitting in a red lit room which is a reference to "Charlotte", a repeated theme in Iron Maiden songs. • Just above "The Ruskin Arms", there is a neon sign that reads "RAINBOW", another famous venue for Iron Maiden. • Above and to the left of the "Rainbow" sign is a neon sign reading "L'AMOURS Beer Gardens", a reference to the "L'Amours" rock venue Iron Maiden once played in Brooklyn, New York. • On the roof of the same building is a police telephone box; this is likely a reference to the time-traveling TARDIS of the BBC TV series Doctor Who. The TARDIS is featured on the cover of the Maiden single "Wasted Years". • Above the Bradbury Towers neon sign is Icarus in flames falling from the sky, in the same style of the cover for the band's 1983 single "Flight of Icarus". It also bears a resemblance to the logo for Swan Song Records, a label founded by Led Zeppelin.

119

''Somewhere in Time'' • On the walkway above the clock is an electronic sign that says "LATEST RESULTS.......WEST HAM 7........ARSENAL 3", a nod to bass guitarist Steve Harris who is a West Ham supporter, a team known as the "Hammers". • At the right edge below, just near the band, there is another Russian ad - Кефир, "KEFIR", which means "yoghurt". • Just above the Russian ad for "KEFIR" there is the street sign for "Upton Park" - this is where West Ham United F.C. play their home games. • In the band group, Bruce Dickinson is carrying a brain, the main symbol from the Piece of Mind album. • There is a sign that says Gypsy's Kiss which was the first band Steve Harris ever played with. • On the right side, above "Bradbury Towers" sign, there is a Japanese ad "浅田 彰." This refers to a notable Japanese philosopher, economist and critic, Akira Asada. • Right of the pyramids there is a sign where "Long Beach Arena" is written. The Live After Death album was mostly recorded at Long Beach Arena. • The neon sign above the band reads "Maggies Revenge" and refers to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and also references the cover of the Sanctuary and Women in Uniform singles. • One of the buildings is labeled "Asimov Foundation", a reference to the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov. • A character wearing a large cloak stands above the walkway's right side. He has been identified as Batman by The Iron Maiden FAQ [4], but is actually more reminiscent of Erik, the Phantom of the Opera - another reference to the Iron Maiden song inspired by the character. • The cat from Live After Death is on the sidewalk, behind Eddie. • Just below the cloaked character and just above the "Latest Results" is the bracket that held Eddie's skull together from the "Piece of Mind" album on, including this album. • The windows of the Ruskin Arms Hotel, at the far left, are similar to those on the cover of Killers. • In the top left hand corner, in the sky just behind the clouds, is a spaceship. This could be a reference to Steve Harris's favourite band UFO. • Derek Riggs' artistic signature symbol can be found on Eddie's chest. • In the bottom right hand corner all five members of the band are standing in a line. Bruce Dickinson is holding a brain, a reference to Piece of Mind, and Nicko is wearing aviator goggles (he had a pilot's license by this time, long before Bruce Dickinson) and a t-shirt that says "Iron What?". Dave Murray's t-shirt says "Irons 1". • To the right of the "Long Beach Arena" sign, there is a sign that says "Hammerjacks", a night club and concert hall in Baltimore, MD, frequented by the band. The night club closed in 1994; the concert hall is still open however. • Below the Hammerjacks sign, there is a sign that says "Tehe's Bar", which is where the choir vocals in the middle of "Heaven Can Wait" were recorded. • To the left of the clock is a sign that says "Herbert Ails" a reference to author Frank Herbert who wouldn't let the band use the title of his book "Dune" as a song title. • To the left of the Hammerjacks sign, there is a sign that says "TEXAS RECORDS AND TAPES". The band have stated several times that some of their favourite American venues to play are in Texas. • Beneath the Phantom Opera House sign, there is a sign that reads "EMI REC.". Iron Maiden's international records have all been released on the EMI label.

''Seventh Son of a Seventh Son''

123

History Seventh Son of a Seventh Son was the last Iron Maiden album to feature guitarist Adrian Smith until the album Brave New World in 2000 (he did write a song that Bruce Dickinson finished for the next album, No Prayer for the Dying, titled "Hooks in You", a loose tie-in to the Charlotte the Harlot saga). "The Clairvoyant" was the first song written for the album. According to Steve Harris, the song's lyrics were inspired by the death of psychic Doris Stokes, saying "if she were really clairvoyant, if she were really able to see the future, wouldn't she have been able to forsee her own death?" At least five of the album's songs ("Moonchild", "Infinite Dreams", "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son", "The Prophecy" and "The Clairvoyant") can be directly related to a main lyrical storyline inspired by the folklore concept. Lyrically, the album centers around some main philosophical ideas: good vs. evil, mysticism, prophetic vision, reincarnation and afterlife. Almost all the album includes direct or indirect references to questions regarding to these concepts and poetically refers the answers. Stylistically, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son develops the sounds first heard on Somewhere in Time (1986), and continues the band's lyrical exploration of topics related to mysticism, power, and the occult. The album debuted at #1 in UK charts (their only since The Number of the Beast) as well as #12 in the U.S, while the singles "Can I Play with Madness", "The Evil That Men Do", "The Clairvoyant (live)" and "Infinite Dreams (live)" reached #3, #5, #6 and #6 positions, respectively. Of all the songs in the album, "The Evil That Men Do", "The Clairvoyant" and "Can I Play with Madness" remained on the set lists of nearly all of the band's concert tours subsequently following the 7th Tour of a 7th Tour.

No Prayer for the Dying is the eighth studio album by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. It is the first album recorded following the departure of guitarist Adrian Smith who left the band during the pre-production phase of the album. Smith does have one co-writing credit on this album, for "Hooks in You". The album ushered in a change of vocal style for Bruce Dickinson from the operatic sound of the '80s to a raspier way of singing. No Prayer for the Dying also produced Maiden's only number one single to date, "Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter", originally written and recorded by Dickinson alone for the A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child movie soundtrack. The version that appears on No Prayer for the Dying was rerecorded by the band as a whole. "Holy Smoke" and "Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter" were released as singles, with the latter reaching the #1 position in the UK charts. The album was also the first to feature guitarist Janick Gers, replacing guitarist Adrian Smith. Gers had previously assisted Dickinson in the recording of his first solo-album, Tattooed Millionaire, and had also worked with Fish and Ian Gillan, among others. No Prayer for the Dying is the only Iron Maiden studio album to date without a song exceeding six minutes in length. The album was also the band's first for Epic Records in the US after the band left Capitol Records but remained with EMI for all territories outside the US. Despite promising initial U.S sales, the album did not sell as well as previous Iron Maiden albums, being the first not to turn Platinum in the U.S. Following Bruce Dickinson's departure from Iron Maiden in 1993, songs from No Prayer for the Dying have been largely ignored at live performances. Only "Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter" has survived in concerts since, but it was only included on a nightly basis in setlists from May-July 2003.

Album cover No Prayer for the Dying was the first album not to feature a wrap-around cover since 1984's Powerslave. It also does not follow the continuity of previous album covers, as Eddie no longer exhibits his lobotomy or cyborg enhancements. It can be assumed that the character required a reboot in order to return him to his original look. The events depicted on this album could also be viewed as a prequel; considering the age of the lamp that the grave-digger holds in his right hand, it could be assumed that the events took place in either the late 19th Century or early 20th Century. Two versions of the cover exist. The original 1990 version has Eddie bursting from his grave and grabbing the grave-digger by the neck. The cover was altered for the 1998 re-release. In this version the grave-digger is absent. The original cover can still be seen on the disc's label, however. Additionally an inscription was added to the plaque on the tomb, which reads "After the Daylight, The Night of Pain, That is not Dead, Which Can Rise Again." The picture disc LP shows Eddie firing a weapon made of four machine guns (a reference to the album's opening track, "Tailgunner"). It has the original cover on side 2. No Prayer On The Road was the tour supporting the album.

Fear of the Dark is the ninth studio album released by British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. It topped the UK albums chart. Released on 11 May 1992, it was the final studio album to feature Bruce Dickinson as lead vocalist who left the band following the album's support tour to pursue a solo career. He was succeeded by Blaze Bayley, formerly of Wolfsbane, for two studio albums until Dickinson returned to Iron Maiden for the 2000 release of Brave New World.

''Fear of the Dark''

History The album cover of Fear of the Dark was the first Iron Maiden album cover not to be designed by artist Derek Riggs. In an interview with MTV, Bruce Dickinson said they had asked three different artists to design a cover, and they then picked the best one. Melvyn Grant's illustration was chosen over the one Riggs submitted. Melvyn Grant has since drawn two more album covers for Iron Maiden, and the cover for their single "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg" makes him the second most-used artist for Eddie after Riggs. The album's musical style showed some experimentation with "Be Quick or Be Dead", a speed metal song released as the album's first single, and "Wasting Love", the group's sole power ballad. The Gulf War track "Afraid to Shoot Strangers" was the band's most political song since "2 Minutes to Midnight". The album featured first time songwriting credits for Janick Gers and featured more keyboard work than the previous album. Only two songs from the album, the title track, and "Afraid to Shoot Strangers", would survive on tours past 1993. "Fear of the Dark" became a popular live track and was the only song played on the Somewhere Back in Time World Tour not from the 1980s. "Afraid to Shoot Strangers" became a frequent addition on setlists during Blaze Bayley's tenure with Iron Maiden. Both critics and fans saw the album as a stale offering from an increasingly tired band. Dickinson's commitment to the band was in question and the inclusion of a ballad left veteran fans disillusioned. Much mocked was Harris' "Weekend Warrior," which was viewed as an outdated view on 80's football hooliganism. The line "what you gonna do on Monday?" came in for much abuse. Metal Hammer criticised the lyrics on such tracks as 'The Apparition' and 'The Fugitive', but said the guitar solos redeemed the otherwise mediocre songs. "Be Quick or Be Dead," "From Here to Eternity," "Wasting Love," and a live version of the title track were released as singles. Fear Of The Dark Tour was the tour supporting the album.

"Lord of the Flies" Released: April 1996

The X Factor is the tenth studio album by Iron Maiden, released in 1995. It is the band's first album to include Blaze Bayley, formerly of Wolfsbane, as vocalist, replacing Bruce Dickinson who left the band following their previous tour to pursue a solo career. The album title came about in the early part of the recording. According to producer Nigel Green: "We all felt that the way things were progressing - the songs, Blaze's new involvement, the sound, the commitment - the new album really would have that extra quality, that bit of magic, that X Factor. This

''The X Factor'' became the working title for the album and we liked it, so we kept it. It is also very apt as this is our tenth studio album and "X" can bring up many images." Supporting the album was the X Factour tour. Much like the tour for their following album, Virtual XI, it was cut short after Blaze suffered a violent allergic reaction to certain elements used on the stages where the band performed[3] . The X-Factor's cover art depicts the operation which left Eddie's head broken (first seen on the Piece of Mind album cover) and was created by Hugh Syme. In some releases, the cover was replaced with a less graphic alternative, showing Eddie from a distance, with the original artwork on the back of the booklet. The idea to bring Iron Maiden's longtime mascot Eddie into 'real form' came from band guitarist Dave Murray, up to that point having always been an animated caricature. This is the second album (Piece of Mind being the first) that did not have a title track on it, as well as the first album to not feature the album title in any of the song lyrics. This album is also unusual for the band in that it produced several band compositions that did not make it onto the album. "Justice of The Peace" and "Judgement Day" would turn up on the Best of the 'B' Sides collection and the Eddie's Archive box set, but "I Live My Way" would not. All three were released at the time of the album as B-sides. Though originally harshly criticized by many Iron Maiden fans for the difference in musical style than previous albums, the album has seen renewed interest in recent years. One possible reason is the rise in popularity of Blaze Bayley's solo project Blaze, which has gained popularity due to Blaze Bayleys curing of a throat allergy that impaired his singing live on the album.

Song details "Man on the Edge" and "Lord of the Flies" were released as singles. Both of these songs, and "Sign of the Cross," remained in Maiden set lists following Bruce Dickinson's return. Live versions of these songs can be found on the single for "The Wicker Man" and the live albums Death on the Road and Rock in Rio respectively. "The Edge of Darkness" is based on Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness (which also spawned the 1979 movie, Apocalypse Now), "Man on the Edge" is based on the 1993 movie, Falling Down and Lord of the Flies is based on the novel of the same name. Sign of the Cross is based on a man suffering through the Spanish Inquisition and is Iron Maiden's second longest song at more than 11 minutes long, the longest being Rime of the Ancient Mariner at 13 minutes {See Powerslave} Live versions of "Blood on the World's Hands" and "The Aftermath" can be found in Best of the B'Sides compilation album. Though this is constantly debated, the album is loosely woven into a depressing theme of a soldier whose life had been ruined. This can be attributed to a rough patch Steve Harris was going through at the time and can be heard in the slow intros and depressing lyrics of many of the songs. {See 2 A.M and The Aftermath}

Virtual XI (pronounced: Virtual Eleven) is the 11th studio album by British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. The album was released on March 23, 1998. It was the second and final Iron Maiden album recorded with vocalist Blaze Bayley. The album is slightly unusual in the Iron Maiden catalogue for its extensive keyboard use. For this album all the keyboard parts were performed by band founder/bassist Steve Harris whereas on previous albums the keyboard parts were handled by session musician Michael Kenney. The album also had a reduced song-writing input from Janick Gers compared to the previous Iron Maiden albums since he joined the band in 1990. The album cover and tour tied in with two extra-musical events: The band played football games alongside their tour (the album title relates in part to the eleven players on a football team), and the Iron Maiden videogame Ed Hunter provided much of the album art. This is the third album by Maiden that was not named after a song on the album (similarly to Piece of Mind and the previous album). The limited edition of the CD came with a lenticular cover. This is the first album to feature the

''Virtual XI''

modified logo. Just like the tour of The X Factor album, the tour for this album was cut short when Bayley suffered from an allergic reaction caused by certain elements used on the stage. As of April 2009 Virtual XI had sold 84,987 copies in the United States and more than 1,050,000 worldwide according to Billboard. It is the poorest selling album of the band's career.

Songs The songs on the album vary greatly thematically. "Futureal" and "When Two Worlds Collide" both appear to hold futuristic themes, while relating to lyricist Blaze Bayley's accommodating to a different lifestyle after joining a major musical group; "The Angel and the Gambler" deals someone who won't be dissuaded from taking risks; "Lightning Strikes Twice" deals with not rejecting something just because it's improbable; "The Clansman" tells of the Scots' battle for independence in medieval Britain, with a "freedom!" chorus that echoes Braveheart; "The Educated Fool" deals with having the increased responsibility of maturity without having all the answers; "Don't Look to the Eyes of a Stranger" is inspired by Steve Harris's observation of the dangers of the world now that he's a parent; "Como Estais Amigos" is a tribute to the soldiers on both sides in the Falklands War[3] and marked the first and as of 2008 only time the closing track on an Iron Maiden album was not a Steve Harris composition. Many fans felt that tracks like "The Angel and the Gambler" and "Don't Look to the Eyes of a Stranger" were over-long, which was the basis of much of the criticism aimed at the album. For example, the chorus line in "The Angel and the Gambler" ("Don't you think I'm a saviour, don't you think I could save you, don't you think I could save your life?") is repeated 22 times. "The Angel and the Gambler" and "Futureal" were released as singles. After Bruce Dickinson came back to the band, Iron Maiden continued to play both "Futureal" and "The Clansman" in concert. While "Futureal" only was performed live in 1999, "The Clansman" would become a popular live track on all tours through 2003. Live versions of both songs with Dickinson on vocals can be found on "The Wicker Man" single and the Rock in Rio album, respectively. The track "The Clansman" has been sampled by singer Brandy in her song "I Tried".

Brave New World is the twelfth studio album by Iron Maiden, released on 30 May 2000 (see 2000 in music). It marked the return of longtime lead singer Bruce Dickinson (who left in 1993) and guitarist Adrian Smith (who left in 1990) to the band. It was also the band's first studio recording with three guitar players, as Janick Gers stayed with the band after Smith's return. The album art and title song are references to the novel of the same name written by Aldous Huxley. The upper half of the album art was done by Derek Riggs, and is the last new artwork done by Riggs to be used on an Iron Maiden release. The bottom half was done by digital artist Steve Stone. Similarly, the line 'Brave new world' is repeated in

''Brave New World'' the pre-chorus in an earlier song by the band, "Stranger in a Strange Land", from Somewhere In Time. Vocalist Bruce Dickinson calls this his favorite album, replacing Piece of Mind. The songs "The Wicker Man" and "Out of the Silent Planet" were both released as singles. "The Wicker Man" was released in the U.S as a promo single with extra vocals in the chorus. Brave New World Tour was the tour supporting the album. During the tour, the show in Rock in Rio was released as a live album. Brave New World peaked at the seventh spot of the United Kingdom charts, and has since been certified Gold.[4] In the United States, it debuted at 39th of the Billboard 200,[5] and sold over 307,000 copies.[6]

Songs and composition Most of the songs were written before The Ed Hunter Tour, and after that tour was finished were recorded in Paris. It was the first time the band recorded live at the studio.[7] "The Nomad", "Dream of Mirrors", and "The Mercenary" were originally written for Virtual XI, according to Adrian Smith in an interview. He said there was a fourth song, but he didn't know which one it was and that Steve Harris did not remember either. Apparently, former singer Blaze Bayley also co-wrote "Dream of Mirrors", but wasn't credited. Brave New World was the only song from the album played for the Dance of Death World Tour, the next tour supporting a studio release. No songs from the album were played during the 'A Matter of Life and Death Tour', but for the Final Frontier World Tour, whose setlist consists mostly of songs from post-reunion albums, 'The Wicker Man', 'Ghost of the Navigator', the title track, and 'Blood Brothers' have reappeared on the setlist. [8] This album also features hints of the progressive direction Iron Maiden will pursue in the future, with less emphasis on riff-driven music. The song "Brave New World" was covered in 2008 by Ghostlines on the tribute CD Maiden Heaven: A Tribute to Iron Maiden released by Kerrang! magazine. [9] Two of the songs, "The Nomad" and "The Thin Line Between Love and Hate", were never played live . At the end of the song "The Thin Line Between Love and Hate", there's a recording of a small conversation at the studio. Nicko: "Awww, I fucking missed it" (referring to the cymbal he was supposed to hit at the end) Steve Harris (on the talkback microphone, laughing): "We'll keep that on tape." (laughter from the band) Steve: "Fucking missed it" (more laughter)

Dance of Death is Iron Maiden's thirteenth studio album, released first in Japan on September 2 and rest of the world on September 8, 2003. This album marks the first participation in songwriting by Nicko McBrain, who co-wrote the song "New Frontier" and also is the first (and so far only) time that all members of the band get a songwriting credit. It is sometimes mistakenly said that Steve Harris performed all the keyboard parts on the album because no credit is given to usual collaborator Michael Kenney, but this is actually due to an oversight in the printing of the album booklet (no instrument credits are given to any of the full band members either). The band's usual message in every album (a variation on the line "Up the Irons!") is absent too.

''Dance of Death'' The Dance of Death World Tour was the tour supporting the album. Dance of Death once again brought costumes to Maiden's stage show. During "Dance of Death," Bruce Dickinson would wear theatrical masks and a cape while moving around the stage; at the end he would dress as the Grim Reaper for the final chorus. During the song "Paschendale", Dickinson would sometimes wear a traditional British Infantryman suit as worn during World War I and act out his death onstage during the song. The title of the album refers to the late-medieval allegory on the universality of death: no matter one's station in life, the dance of death unites all. This philosophy is more commonly known as Danse Macabre.

Songs The song "Montségur" was inspired by Bruce Dickinson's holiday stay near Montségur, the last stronghold of the Cathars conquered by the Albigensian Crusade in 1244. The lyrics include verse As we kill them all so God will know his own, referring to a well-known quote of the papal legate before the massacre of thousands in Béziers in 1209. It also mentions "Templar believers," as it is frequent popular belief today that there was some link between Knights Templar, Cathars and Montségur. The song "Paschendale" is about The Battle of Passchendaele in the First World War. "Journeyman" is Iron Maiden's first fully acoustic song in over 20 years. According to Bruce Dickinson, before playing the song on the Death on the Road live album, the song is about "the whole process of song writing and being a musician," though the lyrics seem to be more focused on appreciating life while you have it. Other lyrical themes are current events in the world ("Face in the Sand" and "Age of Innocence"), religion ("No More Lies", "Montségur"), and realizing yourself ("Wildest Dreams," "Rainmaker," "Journeyman"). The title track features lyrics in a more classic storytelling vein, being about a man who experiences the Danse Macabre and has many similarities to both the poem Tam o' Shanter and "The Number of the Beast". The album is also notable for its heavy Celtic influences in the guitar melodies, especially the title track, "No More Lies," and "Montségur."

Cover art The computer-generated cover art for the album was provided by David Patchett, but he asked to be removed from the credits because he was not satisfied with the result. The version used was actually a prototype provided by Patchett, but the band decided to use it in its incomplete form. Upon close inspection, one can note several of errors: The character on the far right looking out of the picture appears to have a broken neck. The white dog is standing on the snake underneath it. The baby's foot is cutting into the dog and appears more to be suspended in mid-air than sitting on a wolf. The small child character at the front on the left is standing on the other characters foot. The character doing a back-flip on the left of Eddie has a dislocated shoulder, his left hand is also against his right arm instead of on the floor and the back-flipping character's right leg is dislocated.[5]

"Different World" Released: 14 November 2006

A Matter of Life and Death is the fourteenth studio album by English heavy metal band Iron Maiden. It was released on 25 August 2006 in Italy and in Finland, 28 August worldwide, and 5 September 2006 in the United States, Canada and Japan. It is the first heavy metal album to debut at #4 in India, and made it to #2 in the Indian charts. It is also one of the few rock/metal albums to go platinum in India. It is the first album in Iron Maiden's career to enter the U.S. Billboard charts in the top 10 and the third album where Steve Harris has had a song writing credit on every track, and has seen significant chart success in many other countries.[4] While the album is not a concept album,[5] war and religion are recurring themes in the lyrics throughout the album, as well as in the album's artwork. The title is also linked with the war theme, as it shared with a 1946 film whose primary character is a WWII Royal Air Force pilot, though singer Bruce Dickinson has stated that the title and dark

''A Matter of Life and Death'' lyrical themes came partly from the band members' childhood experiences having grown up in the Cold War era amid common fears of imminent destruction and war. A Matter of Life and Death Tour was the tour supporting the album.

Overview The band, still consisting of the same lineup as their previous two studio albums (making it the second most stable lineup; see Powerslave), started to write the songs near the end of 2005 after their hugely successful appearances in the U.S. and Europe. By the end of the year, the songs were completed and they began rehearsing at Sarm West Studios in London. At 72 minutes, A Matter of Life and Death is the band's second longest album, exceeding 1995's The X Factor by approximately one minute, and exceeded by 2010's The Final Frontier by aproximately four minutes. Continuing the progressive direction seen since the band's 2000 reunion with Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith, A Matter of Life and Death puts emphasis on creating atmospheres befitting the darker lyrical themes and long sprawling epics with changes in tempo and dynamics, in contrast to the catchy, riff-driven music of the band's early days. This darker direction of the lyrical viewpoint can even be seen in the shorter songs "Different World" and "The Pilgrim". In order to provide a more "live" sound, the album was not mastered.[6] Producer Kevin Shirley said, "Spoke to 'Arry on Friday, who has decided against mastering the Iron Maiden album... It means that you will get to hear the new album exactly as it sounded in the studio, no added EQ, compression, analog widening, etc., and I must say, I am pretty happy with the end result." This is the band's fourth studio album not to share its name with a song, following Piece of Mind, The X Factor and Virtual XI. The album cover was created by Tim Bradstreet, an American artist, best known for his work on the Hellblazer and Punisher comics. During their North American, Japanese and European tours, the band performed the entire album in full. They announced after the show at Earl's Court, London on December 23, 2006, that the album would never be played in its entirety again.

Critical response The album was met with positive reviews. Metal Hammer rated the album 10/10 and stated that "Iron Maiden have utterly surpassed themselves", Kerrang! rated it 5/5 and said "Another [Iron] Maiden classic... Keeps what longtime fans loved about the band alive." Classic Rock also awarded it Album of the Year, and the band won an award voted by Classic Rock readers, for the album. Rolling Stone gave the album 3 stars out of 5, finding the music and lyrics "relevant." However, the magazine also claims that "the songs now march where they once galloped", implying that the band is "aging gracefully".[7]

Single details The first single to be released from the album was "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg". It was released on 14 August 2006. On 10 August 2006, "Different World" was put on the official website for everyone to hear. The following day "Brighter than a Thousand Suns" was also put on the official site for public streaming. "Different World" was the second single released from the album.[8] It has already been receiving airplay on many rock radio stations. The song also features an animated video, similar to that of "Wildest Dreams".

DVD documentary In addition to the standard CD release, A Matter of Life and Death was also released in a limited edition version which contains a bonus DVD. The DVD, which has a total runtime of nearly one hour, contains a half-hour documentary, plus videos and photos all shot whilst the band were making the album. The documentary "The Making of A Matter of Life and Death", directed by Matthew Amos (director of The Early Days and Death on the Road DVD documentaries), features candid video footage shot largely by Kevin Shirley himself during the recording of the album giving a behind-the-scenes look at life in the studio. The bonus DVD also features the full video promo for "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg", and a special intimate filming of the band recording "Different World" in the studio. The album is also available as a limited edition double picture disc vinyl in gatefold sleeve, and as a digital download.

"El Dorado" Released: June 8, 2010

The Final Frontier is British heavy metal band Iron Maiden's upcoming fifteenth studio album, set for release on August 16, 2010[1] . At 76 minutes and 35 seconds, it is the band's longest studio album to date. It will be their first album since the release of A Matter of Life and Death in 2006, the longest gap to date between two consecutive Iron Maiden studio albums. The North American leg of their tour in support of the album started in Dallas, Texas on June 9[2] , with a European tour beginning in Dublin on July 30, and further dates to be announced.[3] Melvyn Grant, a long-time contributor to the band's artwork, created the cover art for the album.[4]

''The Final Frontier''

Overview On April 22, 2009, during a Rock Radio interview promoting Iron Maiden: Flight 666, Nicko McBrain revealed that Iron Maiden had booked studio time for early 2010.[5] On March 4, 2010, the album title was announced as The Final Frontier, along with North American and European tour dates for summer 2010.[6] On June 5, the band's official website opened to a countdown screen which counted down to 12:01 am (UTC) on June 8.[7] At the end of the countdown, the expected announcement revealed the album artwork, release date, and track listing, as well as providing a free download of the track El Dorado.[4]

Production On November 2, 2009, Janick Gers confirmed to BBC News that the band already had new material written and would head to Paris, France, to start composing and rehearsing the bulk for the new album. The band took time off for Christmas and New Year's Eve before recording the new album in January, with Kevin Shirley producing.[8] In another interview with heavy metal DJ Eddie Trunk, drummer Nicko McBrain confirmed that the band had finished writing eight songs for the new album which he claimed would probably be released in 2011.[9] On April 6, producer Kevin Shirley told Blabbermouth.net that he had completed mixing the new album.[10] On May 6, Shirley commented on the final stages of the album's production:[11] "Bruce Dickinson flew in for a few days and sang all his parts before flying off to the four corners of the globe and Steve Harris (musician)Steve Harris stayed behind to finish the record with me. He's pretty hands-on like that. Adrian Smith dropped in from time to time to hear stuff, and like in any band, not everyone has the same end result in mind, but we get there." Regarding the band's return to Compass Point Studios, where they had previously recorded in the 1980s, vocalist Bruce Dickinson remarked: “The studio had the same vibe and it was exactly as it had been in 1983, nothing had changed! Even down to the broken shutter in the corner... same carpet... everything... It was really quite spooky. But we felt very relaxed in such a familiar and well-trodden environment and I think this shows in the playing and the atmosphere of the album.”

Songs El Dorado, the album's first single, was released as a free digital download on June 7. In a July 1 interview with Billboard.com, guitarist Dave Murray discussed the song "When the Wild Wind Blows", the band's third longest song to date, after "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and "Sign of the Cross".[12] : "The rhythm's a little bit different from what we've done before, and there's lots of melodies... It's a big song. We learned it in sections just because it was such a complex arrangement, but it sounds quite natural."

Live After Death is a live album by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on October 14, 1985 on EMI in Europe and its sister label Capitol Records in the US (it was re-released by Sanctuary/Columbia Records in the US in 2002). It was recorded during the band's World Slavery Tour. The album was instrumental in establishing the band as an extraordinary live band and is regarded as one of the best live albums ever recorded.

''Live After Death''

Cover art The cover art was done by Derek Riggs, and pictures the band's mascot, Eddie rising from a grave. On that grave is a tombstone with a quote from the fantasy and horror fiction author H. P. Lovecraft's The Nameless City: "That is not dead which can eternal lie Yet with strange aeons even death may die." The proper quote is actually "And with strange..." instead of "Yet with strange...". A similar version of this phrase is used in Metallica's song "The Thing That Should Not Be" from the Master of Puppets album. See also: the Necronomicon. Also engraved onto the headstone is what appears to be Eddie's full name, "Edward T H--", the remainder of his supposed surname obscured by a clump of sod. The cover depicts Eddie as he is seen on covers before Number of the Beast (with long hair) though he is also bound by metal cuffs connected by an electrical surge, as seen in Powerslave merchandise, and also the metal headgear from his Piece of Mind lobotomy. The back cover also shows Death in the clouds above the destroyed city. This is the fourth cover where its figure can be seen (the first being "Twilight Zone", the second being "The Trooper" and the third being the back of Powerslave. The fifth time is the back of Somewhere in Time. Though the reaper is also portrayed by Eddie himself on Dance of Death and Death on the Road). Near Eddie's grave there's also a black cat with a circle made of light over its head. At the cat's left, there is a tombstone written "Here lies Derek Riggs". In 2007 The National Entertainment Collectibles Association released an action figure diorama of the album cover. It is the third in the series. Other available figures are based on Somewhere in Time, Phantom of the Opera and Piece of Mind.

Intro The intro before "Aces High" is a part of the We shall fight on the beaches speech made by Winston Churchill in the House of Commons on June 4, 1940. (Churchill re-recorded the speech – the original speech in the House of Commons was not recorded.): "... We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender ..." It was later used for their Ed Hunter Tour and Somewhere Back In Time World Tour.

Critical reception Live After Death was well received by the music press. Allmusic's Greg Prato described it as "one of heavy metal's best live albums". PopMatters critic Adrien Begrand mentioned that Live After Death was one of "the greatest live album in heavy metal history".[2] Alastair Ridell of Kerrang! said it's "possibly the greatest live album of all time"[3]

Track listing The first 13 tracks (12 songs and the intro) were recorded at the Long Beach Arena in Long Beach, California on March 14–17 1985. The last 5 songs were recorded earlier on the same tour, at the Hammersmith Odeon (now known as the Hammersmith Apollo) in London on October 8, 9, 10 and 12 1984. On the original double LP version, the songs from Long Beach are on the first three sides, whereas the songs recorded in London ("Wrathchild", "Children of the Damned", "22 Acacia Avenue", "Die With Your Boots On" and "Phantom of the Opera") were on side four.

''Live After Death''

156

The initial CD version (released in December, 1985) of this album includes everything that the first three sides of the LP version contain. The fourth side was not included on the original release, due to capacity problems. Also, "Running Free" is shortened from about 8:43 on vinyl to about 3:16 on the CD by eliminating the crowd interaction. There are also only 12 tracks, as the intro to track 1, "Aces High" is actually just included with the track itself. The 1998 remastered re-release has the unedited version, and includes a second CD with the tracks that were previously missing. It should be noted that the 1995 re-release also has an extra CD, but that had the b-sides from the singles on it. Also, this re-release was not remastered. CD 1 - Recorded At Long Beach Arena, Los Angeles - March 17th 1985 No. Title

Companion Video The Live After Death video was also recorded at the Long Beach Arena, but on a different night. It contains almost the entire gig, complete with intro and encore, and closes with "Sanctuary", which was not on the LP or original CD release of the album. A live version of "Sanctuary" recorded at the Long Beach shows was included on a bonus disk packaged with the 1995 reissue, this disk also includes "Losfer Words (Big 'Orra)" and "Murders in the Rue Morgue" from the Hammersmith shows. Originally it was intended to use the London shows for the album, and the Long Beach shows for the video, but the Long Beach shows were better.

The First Ten Years: The Videos (1990)

Maiden England is a live video by the band Iron Maiden during their Seventh Son of a Seventh Son world tour, which was dubbed Seventh Tour of a Seventh Tour. It was recorded at the Birmingham, England NEC on 27 and 28 November 1988, released as a video (VHS) in 1989 and as a limited edition video/CD package in 1994. The CD in this package was missing two songs that were on the video ("Can I Play with Madness" and "Hallowed Be Thy Name"), due to space limitations. It was directed and edited by Steve Harris, Iron Maiden founder and bassist. On September 5, 2007, it was announced through the official Iron Maiden website [2], that there would be a DVD-version of the concert, to be released in 2008. As of 2010 it has not been released and there has been no further official announcement concerning a DVD-version of Maiden England.

Alternate Cover

Live at Donington was the recording of the Iron Maiden's second headlining appearance at the Monsters of Rock festival at Castle Donington on August 22, 1992 during the Fear of the Dark Tour in front of a crowd of almost 80,000. It was originally only released as a limited edition triple vinyl set, but became a regular part of the band's CD catalogue with the 1998 reissues.

''Live at Donington'' Former guitarist Adrian Smith joins the band on this version of "Running Free". The 1998 reissue of this album has different artwork. Instead of the white cover with the logo, they put the original concert poster by Mark Wilkinson on the front cover. Also, the track list was spread out differently, to make room for a multimedia section on disc 2.

Rock In Rio (2002)

Edward the Great (2002)

Rock In Rio is a live album recorded in Brazil by Iron Maiden in 2001. Here they faced their second largest ever crowd - 250,000 people - the first being their 1985 Rock In Rio performance to a crowd of 400,000, and with the relatively recent return of lead singer Bruce Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith to the band, they recorded their fifth live album. It features many of their best known tracks, including the eponymous "Iron Maiden" and "Run to the Hills" coupled with some of their "comeback" tracks, such as "The Wicker Man" and "Brave New World." Less popular songs were also performed, such as Bruce Dickinson's versions of the Blaze Bayley-era songs "Sign of the Cross" and "The Clansman". A video version is also available on DVD.

Death on the Road (2005)

A Matter of Life and Death (2006)

Death on the Road is a live CD, LP, and DVD released by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden on August 30, 2005 (CD & LP version), respectively on February 6, 2006 (DVD version). It contains songs which were performed at Westfalenhalle, Dortmund, Germany, on 24 November 2003 during the band's Dance of Death Tour (2003–2005). During the first week after the album's release, it entered the national charts in several countries; Finland (no. 6), Sweden (no. 7), Norway (no. 12), France (no. 14), Italy (no. 17), Switzerland (no. 17), Spain (no. 18), United Kingdom (no. 22), Ireland (no. 27),the Netherlands (no. 39), India (no.29) [3] . The DVD was released on February 6, 2006. It is a 3 DVD set, with the first DVD being the concert in 5.1 Digital audio, the second DVD being the concert in stereo, and the third DVD being special features, including the documentary listed below, and all promo videos from the Dance of Death album. Reportedly, the first DVD of the set is faulty in many cases, as two of the three guitar tracks' volume being tuned down, specifically Dave Murray's track. The DVD set features a full 70-minute documentary directed by Matthew Amos charting the album's creation and the subsequent preparations for the following tour. The feature length program includes candid and personal footage of the band during the recording and writing of the album, which is the first time it's ever been filmed.

''Death on the Road'' The DVD set also features a 45 minute documentary called "Life On The Road" and a 30 minute documentary called "The Fans". In 2005 when Edward the Great was re-released the recording of "Fear of the Dark" from this album was included. The cover was by Melvyn Grant, and on the carriage are the words 'Edward and Son Undertakers', a reference to Eddie.

Virtual XI (1998)

Singles from Best of the Beast 1.

"Virus" Released: 2 September 1996

Best of the Beast was Iron Maiden's first "best of" album, released in 1996 in three formats: a 34 track (four disc) vinyl, a 27 track (two disc) CD, a 16 track (single disc) CD and minidiscMD. The track listings are mainly Maiden's greatest hits (singles) and most well-known songs from 1980-1995 albums, but it also includes a new single, entitled Virus. A live version of "Afraid to Shoot Strangers" was also on this album. The audio was from the Live video filmed during The X Factour (world tour to promote The X Factor album) - originally this song featured the band's previous vocalist Bruce Dickinson. The two-CD version contained two songs from the band's 1979 demo tape The Soundhouse Tapes ("Iron Maiden" and "Strange World," of which the latter one was previously unreleased). The 4-disc vinyl pressing is quite rare and

has increased in value steadily over the years in music stores and on online auction sites. The standard edition's value has not changed much although the Japanese pressings continue to rise in value. The Best Of The Beast has long since been out of print and has been "replaced" by Edward the Great in most countries as a 'best of' for the band. The cover art was by Derek Riggs, who designed most of Iron Maiden's album covers. It is an amalgamation of his most famous works with the band - it features Eddie from the Piece of Mind, Powerslave, Somewhere in Time and No Prayer for the Dying eras as well as "The Trooper", Live After Death and a redesign of the Killers album cover.

Ed Hunter (1999)

Brave New World (2000)

Ed Hunter, a rail shooter video game, was released in 1999, and is based on and accompanied by Iron Maiden's music. The game objective consists of rescuing the mascot of Iron Maiden, Eddie, from a prison while passing through game settings evocative of the albums. Music from the band completes the game's customizable soundtrack. The game passes through various levels, starting in a street, then to a mental institution, then into hell itself, and then into other various locations. The locations are from the covers of previous Iron Maiden records. The gameplay itself consists of shooting the appearing enemies with the mouse cursor. The game travels on "a track" and the player has no control over movement apart from occasionally choosing the route he will take through the levels. The player can select which tracks play in the background of which levels. The package includes 3 CDs. The first CD contains 14 songs, the second CD contains 6 songs and the installation program for the game, and the third CD contains the game data. The soundtrack allegedly consists of the top 20 songs voted for by Iron Maiden fans on Maiden's official website. The US version has a hidden bonus track of a new recording of "Wrathchild" with Bruce Dickinson on lead vocals, which subsequently received radio play. This track was not present in the initial US pressing of the game, but on runs that featured a sticker on the shrinkwrap stating that the track was included. A sticker on the compilation album Best of the Beast originally announced the upcoming release of this game as "Melt, Eddie's own state-of-the-art 3D game". The Ed Hunter Tour was the tour supporting the album.

Iron Maiden chronology Rock in Rio (2002)

Edward the Great (2002)

Eddie's Archive (2002)

Edward the Great was Iron Maiden's third "best-of album" (counting their 1999 video game Ed Hunter which came with a 20 track best of CD with songs chosen by the fans), and was released on November 5, 2002 along with the massive Eddie's Archive box set, as a way to introduce new fans to Maiden. However, many older fans complained about the lack of exclusive or rare material on it. Another complaint of many was that the album lacked material from the first two Iron Maiden albums, Iron Maiden and Killers which featured Paul Di'Anno on vocals. In 2005, a revised edition was released in Europe, Asia and South-America, with a slightly different tracklist. This "updated" version was to coincide with the release of The Essential Iron Maiden compilation that was released in North America. The revised edition features some songs from the Dance of Death album, and a different live version of "Fear of the Dark". The new version also adds the song "Brave New World" from the album of the same name. The booklet includes a new foreword by Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood, whereas the original version has a foreword by founding member Steve Harris. The album cover does not differentiate between the two other than the tracklisting - some shops still sell old stock of the original. In some cases, record distributors accidentally released the revised 2005 version CD with the old track list still on the album sleeve, although this mistake has since been corrected.

It does not include non album singles, such as "Women In Uniform", "Virus", B Sides that had appeared on the remastered albums, the B Side "I Live My Way" or a number of live tracks.

Iron Maiden chronology The Soundhouse Tapes (1979)

Iron Maiden (1980)

The Soundhouse Tapes is an EP by Iron Maiden. The Soundhouse Tapes are the very first recordings of Iron Maiden. Released on 9 November 1979, it features three songs taken from the demo tape Spaceward. The songs were recorded by the band on New Year's Eve 1978/79. The three tracks - "Prowler", "Invasion" and "Iron Maiden" appear in rougher form than they would later be heard on the first Iron Maiden album and subsequent singles. The fourth song from the demo - "Strange World" - would also be rerecorded for Iron Maiden. The song was not included in The Soundhouse Tapes because the band was not happy with the recording quality. A demo of Transylvania, presumably from the same recording sessions (or at least the same era), has been floating around on the internet for some time as well. The EP was extremely successful, selling all 5,000 copies of its initial pressing by mail order in less than a week. To impress more, the band claimed to have sold 15,000 copies. The Soundhouse Tapes has been bootlegged several times, as well as being re-released by the band in full on the 4 LP vinyl version of the Best of the Beast box set, and spread over singles and the two CD version released around the same time. The Soundhouse Tapes' title was taken from The Soundhouse club. This was a heavy metal disco run primarily out of the Prince of Wales pub in Kingsbury, North West London by NWOBHM pioneer Neal Kay. Iron Maiden would

''The Soundhouse Tapes''

205

play regular gigs at The Soundhouse and the venue was instrumental in gaining the band a wider following. It is the only Iron Maiden record to feature the band as a four piece (with Dave Murray as its only guitarist). In 2002, when the band reissued its catalogue, they held a special promotion in which a fan could collect proofs of purchase from the remasters and send them in along with shipping and handling to receive a CD of these recordings (this is, to date, the only time the Soundhouse Tapes recordings have (officially) been released on CD.) Swedish prog metal band Opeth released a live album in 2007 called The Roundhouse Tapes in homage to this title.

Alternate cover

Alternate "Venezuelan" cover

Maiden Japan, also known as Heavy Metal Army, is a live EP by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. The title is a pun of Deep Purple's live album Made in Japan. There are at least two different versions of this EP; all tracks were recorded in Kosei Nenkin Hall in Nagoya on May 23, 1981. It was lead singer Paul Di'Anno's final recording with the band, and features a maximum of 5 tracks. The original Japanese pressing features only 4 tracks and the record speed is 45RPM. It was never the band's intention to release this album, but the Japanese wanted a live album.

''Maiden Japan''

Cover Art The original cover, of which only approximately 25,000 were produced in Venezuela, depicted the band's mascot, Eddie, holding the decapitated head of singer Paul Di'Anno[2] . The replacement cover was done on very short notice after Iron Maiden's manager, Rod Smallwood, received a proof for review, and became agitated at Di'Anno's depiction because the band was looking to replace him.

Bootleg of full recording In November 2008, after 27 years, the complete audience recording of the Nagoya gig finally surfaced on a Japanese 2CD bootleg released by Tarantura. It confirmed that "Running Free" was played twice that night, and that the setlist included 18 songs for a total duration of about 93 minutes (one of the longest gigs played by Di'Anno with Iron Maiden).

Dance of Death (2003)

No More Lies - Dance of Death Souvenir EP is a studio EP by British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. It was released on March 29, 2004. This EP was released as a "thank you" to fans, and came in a special box, which also contains a special sweatband. Besides the studio version of "No More Lies" (originally on the 2003 album Dance of Death), it also contains two alternate versions of songs from the Dance of Death album: an orchestral version of "Paschendale", and an electric version of "Journeyman" (the original version of the song, unlike the acoustic album version). The EP also contains a hidden bonus track, a version of the song "Age of Innocence", with drummer Nicko McBrain's attempt at singing.

Box sets The First Ten Years The First Ten Years is a series of 10 cds and double 12" singles by British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released between February 24 and April 28, 1990, to commemorate Iron Maiden's first ten years of releasing singles. Each cd/double 12" contains two of Iron Maiden's singles, including the b-sides. In addition, each contained a bonus track, a part in the "Listen With Nicko" series, in which drummer Nicko McBrain tells about the songs on the discs, in his own humorous way. Each part in the series included a special voucher. Ten vouchers could be exchanged by mail order for a limited edition box in which to store the CDs or records. Although the individual discs are nowadays still fairly easy to come by, the boxes are a bit harder to find. Iron Maiden also released The First Ten Years: The Videos on VHS videotape and laserdisc. It contains 16 videoclips the band had made up to that point.

Eddie's Archive is a box set by British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on 16 November 2002. The box, an embossed metal casket featuring the face of mascot Eddie, contains three double CDs, the Iron Maiden family tree and a shot glass. The family tree is an updated version of the family tree that originally came with A Real Dead One in 1993. Eddie's Archive was originally released as a limited edition, and the family tree was numbered. However, due to large demand, it was later re-released. For this re-release, the color of the inlay was changed from blue to red, and the family tree was not numbered.

1985 live single cover

"Running Free" was the first single released by Iron Maiden. It was released on the 8th of February 1980 on the 7" 45 rpm vinyl record format. It was written by Steve Harris and Paul Di'Anno. The song appears as the third track on the band's debut album Iron Maiden (and the fourth track on the 1998 re-release of he album). The song is about a troubled 16-year-old boy who runs away on a pick up truck, ends up in a Los Angeles jail and picks up a woman from a bar. The song is known to be one of the band's more traditional rock numbers and is still played at Maiden gigs today with the band members individually named by the lead singer during the long bass-solo. The single's cover art is also famously known as the first official appearance of the band's mascot Eddie. However in the cover-art his face is obscured because the band didn't want to unveil their mascot until the album's release. On the cover is a young metal-head , who strikingly resembles a young Bruce Dickinson. This should not be considered deliberate, as Dickinson had nothing to do with the band until some time after this. There are also several band names spray painted on the wall behind the boy in the picture, which may be some of the band's influences. The B-side "Burning Ambition" is one of Harris' earliest compositions written around the time he was in Gypsy's Kiss. The guitar solo in this song is played by Dave Murray. It is the only commercially released recording by Maiden to feature the band's former drummer Doug Sampson (he was featured in Maiden's demo Soundhouse Tapes) who was replaced by Clive Burr for the band's first album. The song has never been released on any album but was featured on the Best of the B'Sides in the Eddie's Archive Boxset as well as being featured as one of the background tunes on the The Early Days DVD documentary. In 1985, a live version of the song was released as the first single from the album Live After Death (Maiden's twelfth single).

"Running Free" (1980)

"Sanctuary" (1980)

"Women in Uniform" (1980)

"Sanctuary" is the second single released by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. The single was released on 23 May 1980. The song was included in the US release of their debut album Iron Maiden but it was not included in the UK/European release. However, when the album was re-released in 1998 the song was added to the UK release. The cover art shows the band's mascot, Eddie having just murdered the Prime Minister of the time, Margaret Thatcher. This image, though intended as a lighthearted play on her nickname as the "Iron Lady", managed to cause a minor stir in local newspapers (though this was nothing compared with the reaction to one of their future albums). On most copies of the original single, Thatcher's eyes were covered by a black box because the image was considered offensive. Copies without this box are extremely rare, however are not to be confused with The First Ten Years 12" rerelease, which no longer features the black box. When Derek Riggs was asked about the artwork during "The First Ten Years" documentary, he said that he'd originally drawn the cover featuring Eddie murdering another woman, inspired by the line in the song "I never killed a woman before but I know how it feels", but when he took the art to the band they asked him to change it to include Margaret Thatcher. Of the incident, he said, "they wanted me to make it look like Margaret Thatcher, because she was called the Iron Maiden, but I didn't even have a photograph of the woman!" He wound up having to contact Margaret Thatcher's Public Relations people, who then

"Santuary" sent him a photo of her. "Sanctuary" was originally released in both 7" and 12" 45rpm vinyl formats. The 12" included Prowler as an extra song on the A-side. The b-side includes a live version of the song "Drifter" and a live version of Montrose's "I've Got the Fire", from their 1974 album Paper Money. "Drifter" includes the usual crowd interaction part where the audience is invited to follow the lead singer as he chants "Yo Yo Yo", parodying The Police song "Walking on the Moon" Both of the songs were recorded live at the Marquee Club in London on 3 April 1980. On "Sanctuary", the first guitar solo is played by Dennis Stratton followed by a guitar solo by Dave Murray. On both the live versions of "Drifter" and "I've Got the Fire", the first guitar solo is played by Murray while the second is played by Stratton. On live performances of the song, the band would always slip in the opening guitar riff of Queen's "Keep Yourself Alive" on the final portion of the instrumental section. During more modern performances, guitarist Janick Gers will normally create a large amount of guitar feedback and noise on his guitar before playing the riff. In live versions, singer Bruce Dickinson will sing a long "Yeah!" after the first verse. An alternate recording of the song was featured on the NWOBHM Metal for Muthas compilation.

"Twilight Zone" (1981)

Iron Maiden's cover of the Skyhooks' song "Women in Uniform" was the third single by the band, and their last recorded work to feature guitarist Dennis Stratton. It was released on October 17, 1980 and is not featured on any of the band's albums. The band, in particular Steve Harris have routinely mentioned their dislike of their version of this song, stating that it was not in their style. As a result, its only appearance on CD is as part of The First Ten Years series and a rare 1995 2CD issue of Killers, meaning that the song does not appear remastered. However its B-Side, Invasion appears remastered on the Best Of The B-Sides compilation. "Women in Uniform" would also be the basis of the band's first music-video, directed by Doug Smith and filmed at the Rainbow (London). "Women in Uniform" was included on an 11-track pressing of the Killers album as track number 8. This was available at some point in the United Kingdom and Australia. The United States 11-track pressing had the single "Twilight Zone" instead. Most copies of the album have neither song. "Women in Uniform" was the band's first-ever promotional video, which also introduced Eddie in a physical form. According to an interview found on The Early Days DVD, in the scene where Eddie gets up on the hospital bed, the man wearing the mask suffered a cut on his forehead after hitting the camera face-first. The actress Leslie Ash can be

"Women in Uniform" seen in the video - she is the blonde nurse seen @ 0:52 in the video. The single cover features an image of Margaret Thatcher with a Sterling submachine gun, preparing to attack Eddie. This was a joke done in response to the infamous Sanctuary cover, that featured Eddie killing Thatcher. The B-Side of the single, Invasion, is a re-recorded version of a song that originally appeared on The Soundhouse Tapes and also features on Best Of The B-Sides.

"Purgatory" (1981)

"Twilight Zone" was the fourth single by Iron Maiden. It was released on March 2, 1981. The song was also released in the United States as part of the album Killers, however the British release did not include the song. When the album was re-released in the UK in 1998 the song was added to the tracklist. The lyrics tell of a mournful spirit who "Can't take no shape or form" and has his spirit trapped the between this world and Purgatory, referring to it as the Twilight Zone. The spirit has been dead for 3 years. He desires to make his presence known to a woman he is presumably haunting, but is unable to. He looks forward to her death, and even implies he wishes to hasten her demise in order to have company in the afterlife. Interestingly, on the cover painting, the picture of Eddie on top of the dresser is addressed "To Charlotte", seemingly making the young lady in the painting the eponymous prostitute from the song "Charlotte the Harlot". This single has been notably released on a blood red and a clear 45 r.p.m (7") Single, that has now become a rather rare collectible.

"Purgatory" (1981)

"Run to the Hills" (1982)

"Purgatory" is Iron Maiden's fifth single and only single from the Killers album (Twilight Zone was not on the original European release of the album). This song is a remake of a very early Iron Maiden song originally called "Floating" which they used to play live during 1976 to 1977. According to current drummer Nicko McBrain, "Purgatory" is a faster re-arrangement of the original. This was the band's last single with Paul Di'Anno. "Purgatory" was one of the band's least successful singles and failed to break into the Top 50 in the UK charts. This may relate to the fact that this was their only single released with both a- and b-side already available on album in the same form. An interesting fact about this single is that the original cover art was withdrawn. The band had felt that it was of too high a caliber for just a single and requested a less complex cover be prepared in its place. The withdrawn cover later resurfaced as The Number of the Beast album. Ironically, the cover of this single has probably become more well known than any other Maiden cover as it is very often featured on merchandise despite the relative obscurity of the single. Purgatory is the first of three Maiden single-covers to feature Riggs' depiction of the devil. On the cover of the Run to the Hills single he does battle with Eddie and on the single cover of The Number of the Beast his decapitated head is displayed by Eddie.

Cover of part 2 of 2002 live single (with Bruce Dickinson as Eddie)

"Run to the Hills" is Iron Maiden's sixth single and the first single from their 1982 album The Number of the Beast. The song talks about the forced expulsion of Native Americans to the western United States, presumably during the presidency of Andrew Jackson when the moves were enforced by the U.S. Army ("soldier blue in the barren wastes"). It may also possibly be about the Sioux Wars, when Lakota land in the Dakotas was forcibly taken over by the U.S. Army ("We fought him hard, we fought him well, out on the Plains, we gave him hell.) ("Riding through dust clouds and barren wastes, galloping hard on the Plains.") It was written by Steve Harris, bassist and founder of the band. It remains as one of the band's most popular songs.

Release The song was released as a single on February 12, 1982, as a prelude to the album. This would be the first single released by the band to feature current vocalist Bruce Dickinson. On the B-side was a song called "Total Eclipse", which would not be on the initial version of the album. However, the band later regretted this decision, as they thought the song was too good to be only a B-side. "Total Eclipse" was added to the Number of the Beast album when it was re-released in 1998.

"Run to the Hills"

Cover art The single is the second of three single-covers featuring Riggs' depiction of Satan. He debuted on the single-cover of "Purgatory" and his decapitated head is featured on the single-cover for "The Number of the Beast".

Other releases In 1985, "Run to the Hills" was released again as the band's 13th single, now in a live version, taken from the live album Live After Death. However, the single cover-art displayed Iron Maiden's mascot Eddie playing an organ, a setting that is often associated with "Phantom of the Opera". Live versions of "Phantom of the Opera" and "Losfer Words (Big 'Orra)" were the B-sides. In early 2002 "Run to the Hills" was again released as a single, and once again in a live version. This time it was the original studio version again, but with live recordings as B-sides. The single was released to raise money for the Clive Burr MS Trust Fund, to help former Iron Maiden drummer Clive Burr, who is suffering from multiple sclerosis. In March 2002, Iron Maiden played three shows at the Brixton Academy in London to raise money for this trust fund, and the single was released around the same time. Two versions of this single exist, with different B-sides.

Video "Run to the Hills" was released as a video in the early 1980s, which was later remade in the late 90s/early 2000s. The first video consisted of the band performing, interspersed with comical footage featuring Indians from the 1923 James Parrott film Uncovered Wagon. The later video removed all the old film footage and replaced it with Flash animation of Cyborg Eddie (from the Stranger in a Strange Land cover) in a sci-fi Wild West setting, animated by Camp Chaos.

Accolades "Run to the Hills" ranked #27 on VH1's 40 Greatest Metal Songs [1] and in 2009 it was named the 14th greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1.[2]

Other media The song is featured in the game SSX On Tour as the title's main theme. A cover version of the song is also featured in the music video game Rock Band, and is considered as the hardest track to play in the game as a band because of the fills on the guitar, and overall endurance demanded to play the song on drums. A master recording of this track was released on June 9, 2009 for the Wii and Xbox 360, and June 11, 2009 for Playstation 3. The song is also playable in the music video game Rock Revolution. It is featured in GTA IV:The Lost and the Damned as a radio song.

Cover versions • An all-star cover version of the song is found on the tribute album Numbers from the Beast, featuring Robin McAuley on vocals, Michael Schenker and Pete Fletcher on guitars, Tony Franklin on bass and Brian Tichy (Derek Sherinian, B'z) on drums. This version follows the original scheme of the song, but varies in terms of guitar solos. Schenker has also added small solos in places where there originally are no solos. • The all-female tribute band The Iron Maidens recorded the song on their self-titled debut album. • A cover version of the song appears as a playable track in the music video game Rock Band. It is defined as the game's hardest song overall, being rated "Impossible" for every instrument and for a band as a whole. The original version eventually became DLC the following 2 years. • Former Babes in Toyland singer and guitarist Kat Bjelland's new band Katastrophy Wife covered on their Heart on EP in 2007. • The song was covered in 2008 by Sign on the tribute CD Maiden Heaven: A Tribute to Iron Maiden released by Kerrang! magazine.[3] • On their album Garage Inc, Metallica parody the opening of the song at the end of Last Caress/Green Hell, playing it extremely out of key during the fadeout. • The Swedish lounge metal genre band Hellsongs included a cover version on their 2008 album 'Hymns in the key of 666'. • The Icelandic band Baggalútur used the song as a base for their 2003 christmas song, Gleðileg Jól.[4] • In 2009, the eventual Swedish Idol 2009 series winner Erik Grönwall sang it during the live shows and released it the last week of 2009 and had a minor hit with it in the Swedish Single Chart December 2009 and January 2010 topping at #23.[5] • Progressive Metal band Dream Theater covered the song and the entire The Number Of The Beast as a bootleg album.

"The Number of the Beast" is Iron Maiden's seventh single and the second single from Iron Maiden's 1982 album of the same name. The song is inspired by both a nightmare bandleader and bassist Steve Harris had after watching the movie Damien: Omen II, and the storyline of the poem Tam o' Shanter. "The Number of The Beast" is one of Iron Maiden's greatest hits, and is almost always performed during concert. It reached 18 in the UK charts. The track is known for its very long, high-pitched and guttural wail by Bruce Dickinson at the end of the intro. In the documentary on the album of the same name, as part of the Classic Albums series by the BBC, Dickinson said this

"The Number of the Beast"

241

was due to producer Martin Birch forcing Dickinson to sing the first four lines for several hours, over and over again. The frustration of this culminated in this wail, the pitch of which Dickinson often failed to re-create live since the early days. The song may perhaps be considered their signature song. The band had asked the famous horror film actor Vincent Price to read the intro text. However, according to Dickinson, Price refused to do it for anything less than £25,000. They had heard of someone who read ghost stories at Capital Radio and got him to do it. The man was a theatre actor named Barry Clayton who had no interest in Maiden, but they asked him to put on a Vincent Price kind of voice. The opening phrase is taken directly from the Book of Revelation: "Woe to you O earth and sea for the Devil sends the beast with wrath because he knows the time is short" in Chapter 12, Verse 12; "Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast for it is a human number/its number is six hundred and sixty six," in Chapter 13, Verse 18.

Single The single's cover is the last of three singles to feature Riggs' depiction of Satan, which debuted on the cover of the Purgatory single. The cover of The Number of the Beast is the aftermath to the cover of the Run to the Hills single where Eddie and Satan are depicted in battle. The single was also released in a very rare red, pictured below, and even more rare picture disc vinyl.

The red vinyl.

Music video The original music video featured the band performing the song, interspersed with clips from various horror films including Godzilla, War of the Colossal Beast, the Crimson Ghost film serial, How to Make a Monster, and The Angry Red Planet. The Crimson Ghost - used as a logo by The Misfits - also appears early in the video, and there is another reference to The Misfits later in the video, when the monster from The Angry Red Planet appears (The Misfits used the monster on the cover of their album Walk Among Us). Also featured are Nosferatu and The Devil Rides Out (film). In the middle of the guitar solo, a dancing couple wearing cards marked "6" on their costumes appear on stage. As the male dancer spins his female partner around, the female dancer suddenly appears (via editing) wearing a wolf mask and furry gloves. They later appear, holding up their number signs to the camera, in

"The Number of the Beast" close-up shots, with the third "Six" being held up by the female dancer while wearing her wolf mask. Eddie also makes an appearance towards the end of the video, as a large scale version of him walks across the stage to join the band. An alternate version of the video exists where the film clips are omitted and the video is basically just the band's performance (although the dancing couple still appear). A later video (available on the Visions of the Beast DVD), animated by Camp Chaos, replaced the film clips and the dancing couple with Flash animation of Bruce (acting as a priest) and Eddie re-enacting scenes from The Exorcist.

Legacy The song made it in at #7 on VH1's 40 Greatest Metal Songs[1] . "The Number of the Beast" was ranked #6 in Martin Popoff's book "The Top 500 Heavy Metal Songs of All Time". Popoff put together this book by requesting thousands of metal fans, musicians, and journalists to send in their favourite heavy metal songs. Almost 18,000 individual votes were tallied and entered into a database from which the final rankings were derived.[2] In January 2005, a new and updated version was released. It features live video renditions of "Number of the Beast" and "Hallowed Be Thy Name" that have never been officially released before. It has since been covered by Iced Earth, Saints in Hell, Avulsed, Breed 77, Sinergy, Powderfinger, Zwan (whose version was used for the soundtrack of the cult film Spun), The Iron Maidens and many other bands. The song is also featured on The String Quartet Tribute to Iron Maiden. This song was featured on the video game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 and is playable in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock as a master track. It is also available in Rock Band as a downloadable song, albeit a cover version. The master, however, became available for Rock Band on June 9, 2009, as part of the Iron Maiden pack.

Controversy The song, being the title number for the 1982 album was a prominent target of critics in the USA during a time when Maiden were accused of being a Satanic group. Much of the controversy is believed to have originated due to the prominence of the number 666 in the song's repeating chorus. The controversy was so intense, that the Chilean government barred the band from performing in Chile during the tour. Maiden took a swing at their critics in the follow-up album Piece of Mind which features a backmasked message in the beginning of the song Still Life which, when played backwards translates as a very drunk Nicko McBrain doing an impression of Idi Amin Dada (stating "What ho said the t'ing with the three "bonce", do not meddle with things you don't understand"), followed by a belch. When the music video was first shown on MTV, Eddie's appearance at the end was edited out after complaints from frightened viewers.[3]

Trivia Although the liner notes claim the version of 'Remember Tomorrow' on this single was recorded live in Milan, Italy during 1981 it is actually the same recording included on 'Maiden Japan' except with Bruce Dickinson's vocals overdubbed over Paul Di'anno's original performance.[4] The song can be heard in the movie Murder by Numbers. The song is played while Ryan Gosling is driving by school and waving the devil horns at a school girl.

"Flight of Icarus" is a 1983 song by Iron Maiden. It is the band's eighth single and the first from the album, Piece of Mind. It was the first single by Iron Maiden that was released in the United States. It was also one of the few Iron Maiden singles to receive much airplay in the U.S., peaking at number 8 on the Billboard Top Album Tracks chart The highest position of any Iron Maiden single in the US[1] . In the UK, "Flight of Icarus" reached number eleven on the UK Singles Chart. This song was played frequently during the World Piece Tour and the World Slavery Tour, but has since been dropped from the band's setlists.

Overview The song is loosely based on the ancient Greek myth of Icarus who was imprisoned with his father Daedalus in the Labyrinth on Crete. In an attempt to escape the pair fabricated wings from feathers and wax so they could fly away. Unfortunately Icarus, not heeding the advice of his father, flew too close to the Sun, melting the wax that held the feathers and thus fell to his death in the sea. Vocalist Bruce Dickinson admits that he had modified the original tale to make it an allegory of teenage rebellion against adult authority, which caused the death of Icarus in this case. The single cover, in something of a parody of the original myth, portrays a winged Eddie killing Icarus with a flamethrower. Icarus resembles the figure in Evening: Fall of Day, by William Rimmer, which was used as a label logo by Led Zeppelin. The death of the figure on this single cover is a reference to Led Zeppelin's break-up a few

"Flight of Icarus" years before. [2] Bassist Steve Harris feels that the studio version should have been played faster, so they play it faster live, claiming "This little extra touch gives it a bit more fire". The first solo in "Flight of Icarus" is played by Dave Murray whilst the second solo is played by Adrian Smith. The ending solo is played by Dave Murray. The song can also be found as a cover version on the tribute album Numbers from the Beast featuring Ripper Owens on vocals, Doug Aldrich on guitars, Jimmy Bain on bass, and Simon Wright on drums. This version follows the basic configuration of the original composition but departs in terms of the form of the guitar solo.

Music video The video for this track was directed by Jim Yukich and was filmed in the Bahamas at Compass Point Studios (where the album was recorded) as the band played a staged recording session of the track. Also, drummer Nicko McBrain appeared as a blue faced grim reaper. Also, producer Martin Birch had a cameo in the clip as his face morphed with Maiden mascot Eddie. A newer edit of the video features Flash animation by Camp Chaos spliced between the original footage, replacing McBrain and Birch's acting scenes and some of the '80s-style visual effects. The animation depicts Icarus fleeing away from a winged Eddie (as seen on the album cover).

Track listing 1. "Flight of Icarus" (Adrian Smith, Bruce Dickinson) - 3:49 2. "I've Got the Fire" (Ronnie Montrose; Montrose cover) - 3:53 "I've Got the Fire" is a cover of the song "I Got the Fire" from the Montrose album Paper Money in 1974. This is, in fact, the second time the song has appeared as a B-side. It first appeared as a B-side to the "Sanctuary" single. However, instead of a live recording, this is a proper studio production.

"The Trooper" is a song written by Iron Maiden bass player Steve Harris. It is Iron Maiden's ninth single, and the second from their 1983 album Piece of Mind. The single was released on June 20, 1983. The song is about the Battle of Balaclava in 1854 during the Crimean War, and is at least partially based upon Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem "The Charge of the Light Brigade", taking the viewpoint of one of the slain troopers, who, in the cover art, is perceived as a bald Eddie. Many Iron Maiden songs are based on books or movies; this seems to be a running theme in the band's work, especially songs written by Steve Harris.

"The Trooper" To this day, it is considered one of the band's best songs, and often when performed live Bruce Dickinson wears a replica army jacket and holds an enormous Union Flag. Sometimes, before playing the song live, Bruce Dickinson will read parts of the Tennyson's poem as an introduction. The poem was later referenced by Iron Maiden again in the song "Paschendale" from their 2003 album Dance of Death. This song was also one of only a few songs to get much radio airplay and to be a commercial hit in the US, thus peaking at # 28 on the US Mainstream Rock charts. The main song rhythm is very suggestive of horses galloping, to mirror the lyrical theme of the charge of the light brigade. What is also interesting is the dual lead fill between verses, this has the two guitarists, Dave Murray and Adrian Smith, later replaced by Janick Gers, playing a diatonically harmonized lead fill, this gives the filler more depth. Since Smith's return in the band, the three guitarists play in 3-part harmony. The first solo is performed by Adrian Smith and by Janick Gers live from 1990 to 1999. Since 1999, they perform it together in harmony. The second one is played by Dave Murray and it also seems to have changed over the years.

"2 Minutes to Midnight" (1984)

"Aces High" (1984)

"2 Minutes to Midnight" is a song by British band Iron Maiden. The song was released as the band's tenth single and second track from their fifth album Powerslave. The single was released on August 6, 1984 and rose to number 11 in the UK Singles Chart and number 25 on Billboard Top Album Tracks. The song was written by Adrian Smith and Bruce Dickinson. The song has references to the Doomsday Clock, the symbolic clock used by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. In September 1953 the clock reached 23:58, the closest the clock ever got to midnight. This occurred when the United States and Soviet Union tested H-bombs within nine months of one another. The first guitar solo is played by Dave Murray followed by a guitar solo played by Adrian Smith. The first B-side is a cover of British progressive rock band Beckett's "Rainbow's Gold". Another B-side, titled "Mission from 'Arry", is a recording of an argument between bassist Steve Harris and drummer Nicko McBrain. The argument happened after a show in Allentown, Pennsylvania during the band's World Piece Tour, and occurred due to a misunderstanding on stage between the two due to technical issues with Harris' bass, which had led to McBrain's drum solo going wrong. Vocalist Bruce Dickinson was recording the argument with a concealed tape recorder. Because Harris' bass wasn't working, he asked a light rigger to tell McBrain to extend

"2 Minutes to Midnight" the solo. Rather than following proper procedure, the man started shouting to McBrain. Angry that he messed up his solo, McBrain had a confrontation with the man (it is unclear if anything physical happened) that Harris felt was unnecessary. Allegedly the argument had calmed down before Dickinson started recording it and riled the two men up again by asking Nicko what he would have wanted the man to do had he been trying to tell him that the lighting truss above his drum kit was about to fall down, to which he replied "Well, I guess someone would've had to pull me out the fucking way or I'm dead!" The video of the song is featured on the 2003 video collection Visions of the Beast. On the bonus disc of the 2008 DVD release of Live After Death, Bruce Dickinson said of the scene in the video of the soldiers in the apartment, "They came to us with the location and said, 'We've got the perfect location. It's this dingy, grotty East End tenement on the Isle of Dogs. It's all boarded up and there's cat piss everywhere and it's just really foul'. And I looked at this thing and I'm like 'That's Roffy House, on the Isle of Dogs. I used to live there!'" The song was covered 2008 by Glamour Of The Kill on the tribute CD Maiden Heaven: A Tribute to Iron Maiden released by Kerrang! magazine. [1] It was also covered in 2005 by the all-female tribute band The Iron Maidens on their self-titled debut album. The song has been included in a handful of videogames: As downloadable content in Rock Band, and in the video game Guitar Hero 5, albeit heavily censored. It was also included in the soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City in the in-game radio station V-Rock.

"Stranger in a Strange Land" (1986)

"Wasted Years" is the fourteenth single released by Iron Maiden and the first from their Somewhere in Time album. Released in 1986, it was the first single to be written by guitarist Adrian Smith alone. It reached number 18 in the UK charts. The cover depicts Eddie's point of view as he flies a spaceship chasing the Doctor's TARDIS. A similar Doctor Who reference can be seen on the back of the Somewhere in Time case, where the Doctor's TARDIS is parked on a rooftop. The music video, which is mostly in black and white, features images and footage of the band's everyday activities off-stage, as well as clips from previous music videos. The B-side "Reach Out" was sung by Adrian Smith, with Bruce Dickinson singing backing vocals. Adrian also played bass and guitar on the song. This song was performed live by Nicko McBrain and Adrian Smith's jam band who called themselves The Entire Population of Hackney. The demential song "Sheriff of Huddersfield" is about Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood's decision to move to Los Angeles and buy a house in the Hollywood hills. Apparently he had trouble adjusting to the new lifestyle in LA and often complained to the band about it. Interestingly Rod Smallwood was unaware of the song until it was released on the single (the band had kept it secret). The song opens with the spoken line "We're on a mission from Rod", a parody of the tagline for The Blues Brothers. Later, a similar comedy piece mocking Smallwood was released as an unlisted untitled B-side ("Space Station No. 5"'s epilogue) in the Be Quick or Be Dead single. It's the only song on Somewhere In Time that features no synthesizers.

"Stranger in a Strange Land" (1986)

"Can I Play with Madness" (1988)

"Stranger in a Strange Land" is the second single by Iron Maiden from their 1986 album Somewhere in Time. The song is unrelated to Robert A. Heinlein's novel by the same name. The lyrics are about an Arctic explorer who dies and is frozen in the ice. After a hundred years his body is found preserved by other people exploring there. Adrian Smith was inspired to write about this song after talking to an explorer who had had a similar experience of discovering a frozen body. The guitar solo in "Stranger in a Strange Land" is played by Adrian Smith. The song is one of only three Iron Maiden songs to fade out, the other being "The Prophecy" from Seventh Son of a Seventh Son and "Women in Uniform", a single included on some pressings of Killers. The lyrics "no brave new world" will inspire their 2000 studio release, "Brave New World". Eddie's appearance on the single cover is a homage to the Clint Eastwood character "The Man With No Name". This version of Eddie would later be used in the Camp Chaos music video for Run to the Hills. The B-sides to this single, "That Girl" and "Juanita", came from two bands that Adrian Smith's friend, Andy Barnett, played with. They were played during The Entire Population of Hackney secret gig on 19 December 1985 and this is probably where the idea came from to play them as B-sides, especially with Adrian's large presence on this single and the Somewhere in Time album. The first guitar solo in "That Girl" is played by Dave Murray while the ending guitar solo is played by Adrian Smith.

"Stranger in a Strange Land"

Cover details • In the top-right corner of the cover (slightly right of Eddie's lit match), the time on the clock appears as "11:58". This is a reference to a previous Iron Maiden single, "2 Minutes to Midnight". • Several cards can be seen falling from the table. One, (orange background, next to red colored card) contains a picture of the Grim Reaper, like that on the Trooper cover. • Just under one of the stacks of cards, on the edge of the table, Derek Riggs' signature can be seen. • In the music video for a later song, "The Angel and the Gambler" (from Virtual XI), then-singer Blaze Bayley dressed up like this Eddie.

"The Evil That Men Do" (1988)

"Can I Play with Madness" was the sixteenth single released by Iron Maiden. Released in 1988, it is the first single from the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son album and hit number 3 in the UK charts. The song is about a young man who wants to learn the future from an old prophet with a crystal ball. The young man thinks he is going mad and seeks the old prophet to help him cope with his visions/nightmares. The prophet's advice is ignored by the young man and they become angry with each other. The song was originally a ballad named "On the Wings of Eagles", written by Adrian Smith.

"Can I Play with Madness"

Music video The video of the song was set at Tintern Abbey and features Graham Chapman; this would be one of his last appearances on television before his death in October 1989 of cancer. In the video, Chapman plays an irritable art instructor who criticizes a young student for drawing Iron Maiden mascot Eddie rather than sketching the abbey ruins. The teacher discovers an underground lab and finally encounters an animated version of Eddie, who leers and reaches out to him from inside a refrigerator. The band appears on a TV screen showing live footage of a concert. Adrian Smith is shown playing left-handed, suggesting a reversed image.

B-sides "Black Bart Blues" is about the suit of armour that rode in the back lounge of Iron Maiden's tour buses (named Black Bart). Bruce Dickinson tells that he, his bandmates and their tour manager were driving in a Ford Thunderbird through Florida in 1983, when they passed a gas station with three suits of armour standing outside. So Bruce stopped the car and went to buy one of the three suits of armour that were on sale. The song's lyrics detail a rather infamous story in which a girl stumbled onto the band's tour bus and struck a deal with one of the band members that she'd give them oral sex in exchange for alcohol. "Massacre" is a cover of the Thin Lizzy song that comes from their Johnny the Fox album. The song's subject, the Charge of the Light Brigade, was also the subject of an earlier Iron Maiden song, "The Trooper".

The title of the song is taken from Marcus Antonius's speech while addressing the crowd of Romans after Caesar's murder (Act 3, scene 2, "The Forum") in William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar: "The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones." Bruce Dickinson may sometimes repeat this before playing the song, but in reverse (as he did in Rock in Rio). However, the poetic lyrics of the song are unrelated to this. The guitar solo in "The Evil That Men Do" is played by Adrian Smith while the guitar solo in "Prowler '88" is played by Dave Murray. In "Charlotte the Harlot '88", the first guitar solo is played by Dave Murray followed by Adrian Smith. The music video was filmed at The Forum in Inglewood, CA, during the Seventh Tour of a Seventh Tour in 1988.

"Infinite Dreams (live)" (1989)

"The Clairvoyant" was released in 1988 (see 1988 in music) by Iron Maiden. It is the band's nineteenth single and the third from their Seventh Son of a Seventh Son album. The single debuted at number six in the UK charts. It contains three live performances from Maiden's 1988 headlining performance at the Monsters of Rock festival in Donington Park. The promotional video for the song, although set to the studio version, features live clips from the Donington performance. The song starts in the first person, from the main character's point of view. Later, it's in the third person, after she's dead. According to Steve Harris, the song was inspired by the death of psychic Doris Stokes, and his wondering that if she were truly able to see the future, wouldn't she have been able to forsee her own death? This single was also released as a clear vinyl.

"Infinite Dreams" is a live single released in 1989 by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. It is the only single to be released from a home video, 1988's Maiden England. The performance was recorded in Birmingham, England in November 1988 towards the end of the massive world tour to support the album where the song originally appeared, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. It is the final single to feature Adrian Smith for an entire decade. The song is about how the character of the song sees disturbing visions about afterlife and other mystic things in his dreams, but is scared about if he will ever be able wake up again. It starts with a soft guitar solo, which is then joined by Bruce Dickinson's singing as well as the rest of the band. The song starts out quite peaceful, but gets progressively heavier towards the songs climax and the following final verse. All three tracks on the single can be found on the Maiden England VHS and CD collections.

"Holy Smoke" (1990)

"Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter" (1990)

"Holy Smoke" is Iron Maiden's 21st single and the first to feature guitarist Janick Gers, who joined the band in mid-1990. It was released just weeks before the album, No Prayer for the Dying, and climbed to number three on the UK Singles Chart. The song deals with the many Televangelist scandals that took place in the United States in the late 1980s, including mentions of "Jimmy the Reptile" (a reference to Jimmy Swaggart), "The TV Queen" (a possible reference to Tammy Faye Bakker), Noah, and "plenty of bad preachers for the Devil to stoke." Contrary to what some believe, however, this song is not aimed at the Christian religion itself, but rather the people that abuse it to make gains for themselves. This is one of the very few Iron Maiden songs with profanity in the lyrics (for example, "I've lived in filth/I've lived in sin/and I still smell cleaner than the shit you're in"), which is replaced by gunshot sounds in censored versions. The song is atypical for the band standards, being short and straight. It features a common pop-rock song structure with intro, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, solo, verse and ending with another chorus. The guitar solos are very fiery making use of artificial harmonics, sweep picking, tapping and wild bends. The first solo is played by Janick and second one is played by Dave Murray. The band took a humorous approach for the video of the song, as the band members are filmed on Steve Harris's farm (who directed the video), playing football and driving a tractor, while everything happens in bright daylight.

There are similarities with Deep Purple's Perfect Strangers video, from 1984. Bruce Dickinson is bouncing in a turnip field and wearing a pink T-shirt. The band's producer, Martin Birch, can also be seen on the video, wearing a kind of sadomasochist costume. The video was directed by Harris himself. Harris's daughter Lauren, who was around five years old at the time, also appeared towards the end of the video. The B-sides are covers of Stray's "All in Your Mind" and "Kill Me Ce Soir" originally performed by Golden Earring.

Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter is the second single from the album No Prayer for the Dying, Iron Maiden's first full-length album in over two years (following the 1988 release Seventh Son of a Seventh Son). The song was originally recorded and released by Bruce Dickinson on the soundtrack album to the movie A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child. The original version of the song can now be found on disc 2 of The Best of Bruce Dickinson. It is the only UK number 1 Iron Maiden have ever had. When Dickinson recorded with Iron Maiden in the autumn of 1990 following a two year hiatus, the band recorded their own version of the song, which became the first Iron Maiden single to reach #1 on the UK charts. The single

also received the dubious honour of a Golden Raspberry Award for "Worst Original Song" of 1989. It is also interesting to note that this song was recorded in the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio. The B-side features cover versions of songs by Free and Led Zeppelin, respectively. The promo video clip for the song features footage from the 1960 film "The City of the Dead" (also known as "Horror Hotel"), starring Christopher Lee. Dickinson once explained what the song meant and how it related to the Nightmare on Elm Street films: "Here I tried to sum up what I thought Nightmare On Elm Street movies are really about, and it's all about adolescent fear of period pains. That's what I think it is - deep down. When a young girl first gets her period she bleeds and it happens at night, and so she is afraid to go to sleep and it's a very terrifying time for her, sexually as well, and Nightmare On Elm Street targets that fear. The real slaughter in the Freddie movies is when she loses her virginity. That is the rather nasty thought behind it all, but that's what makes those kind of movies frightening." Despite this, the song's lyrics are still the subject of much speculation and debate among fans, some of whom say the lyrics contain multiple references to anal sex and/or groupies. The song was the only track from No Prayer for the Dying to survive on tours after Bruce Dickinson left Iron Maiden in 1993. More recently however it is rarely aired live; aside from notable appearances in the early summer of 2003.

"Be Quick or Be Dead" (1992)

"From Here to Eternity" (1992)

"Be Quick or Be Dead" is the first single from the Iron Maiden album Fear of the Dark, released in 1992. The song is about several political scandals taking place at the time of its release, including the Robert Maxwell banking scandal, European stock market crashes, and the BCCI case. It was released a month prior to the album and reached #2 on the UK singles chart. It is characterised for its heavy guitar riff, that has influences of thrash and speed metal. The B-side features two official songs and one hidden track, including an original blues number ("Nodding Donkey Blues") and Montrose cover ("Space Station No. 5"), and the unlisted "Bayswater Ain't a Bad Place to Be". The last is a spoken word comedy piece by Bruce Dickinson (along with acoustic guitar accompaniment from Janick Gers) in which he imitates and makes fun of Maiden manager Rod Smallwood. A similar mockery of Smallwood was released before, as a B-side titled "Sheriff of Huddersfield", which was available in the Wasted Years single.

"Be Quick or Be Dead"

Song structure The song begins with the drums, then the other instruments join and play the main guitar riff, which was written by Janick Gers and is in G minor scale, as most of the song. The riff is played repeatedly until Bruce Dickinson joins with the lyrics. Through the verse, the guitars and bass play mainly G. Then there is a pre-chorus that is played in C and then the chorus, which features a guitar riff similar to the one of the intro and Bruce singing "Be Quick or Be Dead" repeatedly. Then the post chorus is played in G and F by the guitars as Dickinson sings "See what's ruling all our lives. See who's pulling strings".

"Wasting Love" (1992)

"From Here to Eternity" is the second single from the Iron Maiden album Fear of the Dark, released in 1992. The song is the fourth and most recent song in the ongoing saga of "Charlotte the Harlot" (other songs include "Charlotte the Harlot," "22 Acacia Avenue," and "Hooks in You", although the status of the last song is a point of debate among fans since it doesn't actually mention "Charlotte", just "the keys to a view at number 22"). The songs tells the tale of Charlotte going on a fateful motorcycle ride with the Devil. This is the first studio single to not feature Eddie in the artwork - second overall, after the live version of "Running Free" - using a picture of the song's music video instead. The single was released in several formats: a 7" cut to shape picture disc with Budgie's "I Can't See My Feelings" on the B-side, a 7" etched disc with "From Here to Eternity" and "Roll Over Vic Vella" on one side and an image etched into the other, a 12" single with fold-out sleeve with "Roll Over Vic Vella" and a live version of "No Prayer For The Dying" as b-sides, and several cd-single versions with all previously mentioned songs and a live version of "Public Enema Number One". It charted and peaked at #21 on the UK Singles Chart. The cover of Chuck Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven" features spoken intro and outro pieces by longtime Iron Maiden roadie and friend Vic Vella.

"Wasting Love" is the third single from the Iron Maiden album Fear of the Dark, released in 1992. This song represents Iron Maiden's first and currently only power ballad released as a single to date. The single was only officially released in The Netherlands, although two different one-track promotional CDs exist, and were sent to U.S. radio stations. "Wasting Love" was the first Iron Maiden single that was not released on vinyl. The B-side features three live tracks recorded at London's Wembley Arena on December 17, 1990, on the tour to support the No Prayer for the Dying album. The single cover is the third Iron Maiden single not to feature the band's iconic mascot Eddie on the front cover (the previous examples being "Running Free (live)" and "From Here to Eternity"). The cover photo alludes to the music video, which portrays a man tattooing the names of women all over his body.

Fear of the Dark (live) (1993)

Hallowed Be Thy Name (live) (1993)

"Fear of the Dark" is a song written by Steve Harris, bass player and main songwriter for Iron Maiden, as the title track to Iron Maiden's 1992 album Fear of the Dark. This is the only song from the Fear of the Dark album to still be played in concerts today, although "Afraid to Shoot Strangers" was often played live until 1998. The single "Fear of the Dark (live)" is the 26th single released by the band. This live version of the song (as well as the live version of "Bring Your Daughter...To the Slaughter") is taken from the live album A Real Live One. The single reached number 5 in the UK charts. The live version of "Hooks in You" was recorded at the Wembley Arena, London, UK on the 17th of December 1990. When Iron Maiden plays this song live the crowd sings along and is sometimes even louder than the band itself. A good example is the performance at Rock In Rio when a crowd of 250,000 people sang during the intro, before and after the guitar solo. Another exceptional occasion occurred in Helsinki, Finland in the band's 1992 concert, which was held indoors with an enthusiastic crowd (although much less in quantity than in the aforementioned Rio concert) chanting along the song´s melody especially during the beginning of the song, creating what was described later as almost religious atmosphere. The special feeling was also noticed by the band and consequently Fear of the Dark from the Helsinki concert was included in their Real Live One album. During the song, the enthusiastic response by the audience is met with apparent satisfaction by lead singer Bruce Dickinson, who constantly lets the audience sing parts of the songs alone.

"Fear of the Dark" The song has been covered by German a cappella metal band van Canto on their album Hero, as well as the Italian metal band Graveworm on their 2001 album Scourge of Malice, by the also Italian death metal band Infernal Poetry on their 2005 album Beholding the Unpure and by the Finnish band Sturm und Drang as the bonus track on their 2008 album Rock 'n Roll Children. Fear of the Dark is well-known at live concerts, because often Iron Maiden fans will sing along during the chorus, for a powerful effect. The song was also covered by Fightstar for kerrang's Maiden Heaven. The Flight 666 version of the song was released as downloadable content for the Rock Band video game series on June 9, 2009.

"Man on the Edge" (1995)

"Hallowed Be Thy Name" is a song written by Steve Harris for the 1982 Iron Maiden album The Number of The Beast. The song describes a man's thoughts just before being sent to the gallows. He begins to feel terror and realizes he really is afraid of dying, despite claims that he's not ("tears flow, but why am I crying?/after all, I'm not afraid of dying/don't I believe that there never is an end?"). At the end of the vocal section, the man gets executed; this is followed by a long instrumental section, culminating in his ambiguous final words, "Hallowed be thy name". When the album "Number of the Beast" was profiled on VH1's Classic Albums, Steve Harris said the song was about "having faith, whether it be in religion or whatever, but could that faith fail you at the last second when you need it most?" "Hallowed Be Thy Name" begins with a slow tempo and builds up later in the song. Bruce Dickinson showcases his wide vocal range and power at both slow and fast tempo. This song is considered one of Iron Maiden's classics, and is a staple at live concerts. The first guitar solo is played by Dave Murray, and the second by Adrian Smith. Since Smith left the band and was replaced by Janick Gers, Gers has played Smith's solo, even after Smith returned to the band. All the solos vary from concert to concert. During many live performances, one of the guitarists, normally Janick Gers or Dave Murray, will make a large amount of guitar feedback or force the whammy bar on their guitar

"Hallowed Be Thy Name" high up respectivley to create a very high pitched sounds. The cover of the live version recorded in 1993 depicts Bruce Dickinson being impaled from behind by Eddie, in the form of Satan. The same idea of Eddie killing the departing vocalist had previously been used on the cover of the Venezuelan release of Maiden Japan (with him holding the severed head of Paul Di'Anno). This theme was also used during Bruce Dickinson's farewell performance, during the Raising Hell concert, where horror Illusionist Simon Drake, after seemingly killing Dickinson in an iron maiden torture device, gets impaled by Eddie. The song has also been released as a live single from the 1993 album "A Real Dead One" and on The Best of the Beast, and has become a live staple for Iron Maiden. The band recorded a newer version of this track in 2006 and it was used as a b-sides on the "Different World" single. Iron Maiden also recorded this song as part of EMI's television series 'Live from Abbey Road'. This single was also released as a red 45 rpm (7") vinyl. "Hallowed Be Thy Name" was named the greatest metal song of all time by Digital Dream Door on "100 Greatest Metal Songs".[2]

In popular culture A live version of the song was released as downloadable content in the video game Rock Band 2 on June 9, 2009.

"Man on the Edge" is a single from the Iron Maiden album The X Factor. It was released in 1995. The song is based on the film Falling Down starring Michael Douglas. It was the first single the band released with Blaze Bayley on vocals. In addition to an interview with Bayley and another track from The X Factor, the single features three originals that did not make the album's final cut. It is one of two Blaze Bayley era songs to make it onto the Edward the Great compilation, along with Futureal, as well as one of three to make it onto Best of the Beast along with Sign of the Cross and Virus. Iron Maiden frequently played this song during the Ed Hunter tour in 1999, making it one of 5 Bayley era songs to survive in concerts after his departure (The others being Lord of the Flies, Sign of the Cross, Futureal, and The Clansman). A live version of this song from 1999 is featured on the 2000 single release of The Wicker Man, with Bruce Dickinson on vocals.

"Man on the Edge" There were three videos made for this song. One is filmed on location at Masada, Israel, the second is a more cinematic video of the band performing as a man throws himself off a building, and the third is a 'sneak-peek' promo video consisting only of clips of 'pratfalls' from black and white silent movies was used for promotional purposes prior to release. This third version appears as an 'Easter Egg' on the 'Visions of the Beast' DVD. The song was featured in the video game Carmageddon 2.

"Virus" is a single from Iron Maiden, released in 1996. It is the first single since 1980's "Women in Uniform" 'that does not appear on any official Iron Maiden studio album. It was, however, featured as a brand new track on the band's first ever career retrospective — 1996's double-disc The Best of the Beast. It is the only Iron Maiden song to be credited to both of the band's guitarists. It has yet to be performed in Iron Maiden concerts featuring Bruce Dickinson on vocals. Along with "Sign of the Cross" from The X Factor, and "The Clansman" from Virtual XI, Virus is widely considered one of the best Iron Maiden songs with Blaze Bayley as the frontman. In order to celebrate the band's 21 years, the single was released in three different formats. The first format features the same B-sides as the Lord of the Flies single from 1996, which included covers from The Who and UFO. The second features songs from the 1979 compilation album Metal for Muthas, which marks the only studio recordings to feature former guitarist Tony Parsons. The third features two songs from Maiden's legendary 1978 demo recordings, The Soundhouse Tapes. On the EP Slow Riot for New Zerø Kanada by Post-rock group Godspeed You! Black Emperor, the track "Blaise Bailey Finnegan III" features the eponymous vox pop performer reciting a poem made from the lyrics from "Virus", written by Blaze Bailey (no relation). The intro riff was re-used by Bristol-based trio Kosheen for their song I Want It All from their 2001 album Resist.

"The Angel and the Gambler" is a single from the Iron Maiden album Virtual XI, released in 1998. It was released two weeks before Virtual XI hit stores. It is the first Iron Maiden single to feature a video as a B-side ("Afraid to Shoot Strangers" live footage from Israel, but the audio is actually from Kåren, Gothemburg, November 1, 1995). The single also includes two audio tracks recorded live at the Kåren, Gothemburg, on November 1, 1995, at The X

"The Angel and the Gambler" Factour, in support of The X-Factor. The CD single was released in two parts. Part 1 contains a poster, with the "Virtual XI Fixture List 1998" on one side and the band posing in Maiden football gear with some of their favourite players on the other side. Part 2 contains three double-sided cards with the musicians posing in Maiden football gear. Part 2 also has a shortened version of "The Angel and the Gambler". To support the single with more airplay, the band also released a music video, which featured the shortened version of the song. In an almost Star Wars fashion, the video features an entirely computer-generated world filled with aliens of varying quality. The concept for the video, particularly Blaze walking in to the bar with a brown hat and a long jacket were taken from concept art designed for the Somewhere in Time album, specifically the single "Stranger in a Strange Land". The song itself is controversial amongst fans and often criticized for being overlong and repetitive, with the main chorus repeated, in all, 22 times. The music-video version is considerably shorter, a little over three minutes.

"Futureal" is a single from the Iron Maiden album Virtual XI, released in 1998. Just months after this single was released, vocalist Blaze Bayley would part ways with Iron Maiden. The song was voted as one of the most popular Iron Maiden songs of all time in a fan poll taken during the making of the Ed Hunter album and video game. It is one of two Blaze Bayley era songs to make it onto the Edward the Great compilation, along with "Man on the Edge". The cover of the single is also notable for depicting band mascot Eddie, in CG form, as the cyborg form he had on Somewhere in Time.

"Futureal" Iron Maiden frequently played this song during the Ed Hunter tour in 1999, making it one of five Bayley era songs to survive in concerts after his departure. A 1999 recording of this song appears on the band's next single release, "The Wicker Man". During live performances on the Ed Hunter tour a giant robot Eddie appeared from backstage and "battled" members of the band.

"The Wicker Man"

"The Wicker Man" is a song by Iron Maiden, released as the first single from their album Brave New World in April 2000. It was co-written by Adrian Smith, Bruce Dickinson and Steve Harris. It was co-produced by Kevin Shirley and Harris. The title is inspired by the British cult film of the same name. The song should not be confused with "Wicker Man" from Dickinson's solo career, the lyrics of which are more closely themed around the film. The latter song can be found on the 2 disc edition of The Best of Bruce Dickinson. The radio version of the song differs from the album track, with the chorus' first line "Your time will come" followed by the line, "Thy will be done", and the third line followed by another "Thy will be done". The last line is followed by "Don't turn, don't run." This is the case for every chorus except for the third chorus in which the third line is followed by "I'll be the one" and the fourth line is followed by "Burn on the sun." This version is considered extremely rare. The single's cover art was by Mark Wilkinson, after a piece by the famed artist Derek Riggs was rejected. This was the last piece Riggs would create for Iron Maiden (until a piece for 2007s These Colours Don't Run), reasoning that they were too hard to work with[1] . This art work was used for the picture vinyl disc and various minor pressings.[2] 2001 the song was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category "Best Metal Performance" but lost to "Elite" by Deftones.

"Out of the Silent Planet" is a single from the Iron Maiden album Brave New World, released in 2000. The single features two live tracks from the 1999 Ed Hunter tour, which featured the band reunited with guitarist Adrian Smith and vocalist Bruce Dickinson, as well as the promotional video for "Out of the Silent Planet." Cover art was by Mark Wilkinson. According to interviews with band members, the song was primarily influenced by the science fiction movie Forbidden Planet. (In addition, the name "Out Of The Silent Planet" is an obvious reference to the 1938 C.S. Lewis science fiction novel by the same title.) It's a peculiarity in that despite being one of only 2 singles from the album, this was not played on the majority of the accompanying world tour - only in a few encores in South America and the Brixton Academy concerts.

"Rainmaker" is the 37th single released by Iron Maiden. It is the second single from their 13th studio album Dance of Death. The song was largely written by long-time guitarist Dave Murray. The rainmaker concept was started by vocalist Bruce Dickinson who one day said in the rehearsal studio that the intro riff made him think about raindrops. The song has no connection with the 1995 novel written by John Grisham of the same name. The guitar solo on "Rainmaker" is played by Dave Murray. The cover is a still taken from the music video directed by Howard Greenhalgh. This single also contains a double-sided poster. "More Tea Vicar" is a recording of a jam session (similar to "Pass the Jam") with Bruce Dickinson trying his hand at rapping.

"Different World" (2006)

"The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg" is a song by Iron Maiden from their 14th studio album A Matter of Life and Death. The song is the leading single from the album, released on 14 August 2006. The CD single comes with a B-side of "Hallowed Be Thy Name" from the BBC Radio 1 Legends Session. Due to the overall length of the two songs, the single was not eligible for chart inclusion in the UK. The single was also released on 10" clear vinyl single, which includes BBC Sessions versions of "The Trooper" and "Run to the Hills" on the B-side.[1] Although both the sleeve and the labels of the 10" vinyl state that it should be played at 33.3 RPM, this is actually incorrect. The correct playing speed is 45 RPM. A promotional version of the single was released on 14 August 2006, featuring the full version and a shorter version called "edited version" in the US promo CD and "rock club mix" in the UK promo CD (both versions are identical). The single was not allowed to have a place in the UK charts because the overall music time on the CD exceeded the time limit for it to be classed as a single.[2] On 17 July 2006, a music video for the song was uploaded on the band's official website. It had initially been released only for paying fan club members, but it was leaked within minutes and viewed by many fans who posted

"The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg" the link on various Iron Maiden discussion forums. The video displays them performing in the studio along with classic photos and clips of the band over their lengthy career.

"Different World" is the first track from English heavy metal band Iron Maiden's 2006 album A Matter of Life and Death. The song is the band's thirty-fifth single, and is also the second single from the album, released on 14 November 2006 in the United States, and 26 December 2006 in Europe. The song has been stated by the band to be a tribute to Thin Lizzy due to the low sounding melodies sung by Bruce Dickinson that are reminiscent of those Phil Lynott would sing. The song is featured in the skateboarding video game Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam. The all-female tribute band, The Iron Maidens, recorded an acoustic cover of the song on their 2008 EP The Root of All Evil.

Music video Two music videos of "Different World" were released. In the first, a computer animated version of Dickinson is watching a factory of drones reorganizing test tubes. When one appears with a purple liquid in it, he takes the tube and runs. He is chased by more drones across an extremely high-up walkway, before leaping off the platform, and later through a garbage disposal chute. He exits the chute at high speed, and tries to grab hold of it but eventually falls. He lands on a zeppelin, and is grabbed by a drone. The drone carries him through the air before crashing into the ground, after which Bruce runs through the city to a woman who shows him a different world. In this vision, a young version of Bruce (who looks more like him than the older one) takes the test tube and throws it at the screen. The vision explodes and a giant Eddie stands up and begins to destroy the city. The camera zooms out, and a larger Eddie is revealed to be holding the planet, and throws it at the screen, ending the video.[1] The second version features the band recording the song in studio 1 of Sarm Studios, West London, UK. Portions of this video appear on the first version.[2]

"El Dorado" (2010)

"El Dorado" is the second track from British band Iron Maiden's upcoming album The Final Frontier. The song is the band's thirty-sixth single, and the first from the album. It was made available as a free download on the band's official site at 00:01 on June 8, 2010 (UTC), one day before the album's supporting tour began.[2] The cover art was created by Anthony Dry and is based on the covers of the EC Comics published by William Gaines that were popular in the 1950's. Regarding the early online release of the song, vocalist Bruce Dickinson explains: ‘El Dorado is a preview of the The Final Frontierforthcoming studio album. As we will be including it in the set of our The Final Frontier World TourFinal Frontier World Tour, we thought it would be great to thank all our fans and get them into The Final Frontier mood by giving them this song up front of the tour and album release.’ In the June 9 edition of Kerrang!, Dickinson explained the meaning of the song[1] : "[El Dorado] has a cynical lyric about Late-2000s recessionthe economic crap that's been happening. It seemed a bit like a perfect storm; people were borrowing money like crazy. I thought, 'This is really going to screw people up' and sure enough, we're all in deep doo-doo! And that's what El Dorado is about, it's about selling somebody the myth that 'El Dorado#MetaphorThe streets are paved with gold' and them asking, 'Where do I sign up?'."

"Stranger in a Strange Land" Released: 22 November 1986

Somewhere in Time is the sixth studio album by British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on 29 September 1986 on EMI in Europe and its sister label Capitol Records in the US (it was re-released by Sanctuary/Columbia Records in the US in 2002). The studio follow-up to the hugely successful Powerslave/Live After Death pair, it was the first Iron Maiden album to feature guitar synthesizers. Bruce Dickinson's song material was refused in favour of the songs of guitarist Adrian Smith, who wrote the bulk of the songs identified with the album (including the singles "Wasted Years" and "Stranger in a Strange Land"). While many of the songs from Somewhere in Time have all but disappeared (and some like, "The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner" being only played once) from the band's live shows over the years, "Wasted Years" and "Heaven Can Wait" have been consistent mainstays of the band's live setlist. Performances of "Heaven Can Wait" have featured a group of local fans and celebrities invited onstage to sing along during the song's middle section.

"Alexander the Great"

322

The album also marked a change for Iron Maiden, as it was their first album to introduce synth, although this style was expanded upon in their next album, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. This is also their first studio album not to be released a year after their previous one. The band has never released a studio album a year after the previous again as of 2010. The band began to put more time into writing and recording their albums as well as touring for an extensive time after the release of Powerslave. The 2008 tribute CD Maiden Heaven: A Tribute to Iron Maiden released by Kerrang! magazine features covers of two songs from this album: "Wasted Years" by Devildriver and "Caught Somewhere in Time" by Madina Lake.[1] Somewhere On Tour was the tour supporting the album.

Album cover trivia The cover for Somewhere in Time displays a cyborg-enhanced Eddie in a futuristic, Blade Runner-type environment. Much like the visual richness of the cover of Powerslave, the wrap-around album cover holds a plethora of references to earlier Iron Maiden albums and songs. The cover was originally created for use as the cover to the authorized biography of the band, Running Free by Garry Bushell and Ross Halfin and therefore made many references such as: • The street sign on the corner where Eddie is standing says Acacia (partially obscured), a reference to the song 22 Acacia Avenue from The Number of the Beast album • Below "Acacia" is a poster of Eddie from the first album. • The torn poster below "Acacia" is the one that appears on the Sanctuary and Women in Uniform singles. • Eddie appearing in a similar posture as on the Killers album cover. His victim is killed with a futuristic weapon, as opposed to the axe seen on the Killers cover. While this is undoubtly a reference with the cover of Killers, there is also a significant reference with the cover of the album "Nightflight" (1981) of the band Budgie. On it stands a birdman holding almost the same futuristic weapon and posing as Eddie. Also a futuristic aircraft in the background is not missing. This is no coincidense because that album cover was also drawn by Derek Riggs. It is known that Budgie had its influences on Iron Maiden, were Iron Maiden at least covered one of Budgie's songs "I cant see my feelings", on their "From Here To Eternity" Single. • A banner with the words, "This is a very boring painting" is displayed backwards within the lobby of the Bradbury Towers Hotels International. This can be seen to the left of Eddie's right leg. • In the very center, just above the "Department" ad and behind the cable going to the cyborg's weapon, there is a small vertical ad with red glyphs. The text of this ad is Russian, it is "Меня Рвёт", [Menya Rvyot] - "I'm vomiting", which also literally translates as "It's tearing me up", depending on the context.

"Alexander the Great" • An Eye of Horus neon sign at the top of a building, a reference to the song "Powerslave". • Below Eddie, there is a model in the department store window. Some fans believe this is former Maiden singer, Paul Di'Anno. • On the bridge separating the two buildings is a digital clock that says: 23:58. This refers to Iron Maiden's song "2 Minutes to Midnight" • Under Eddie's left leg there is a trash can attached to a post. This is the same trash can that can be seen attached to a lamppost in the background on the cover of the album Iron Maiden. References on the back include: • A clock reading 23:58 ("2 Minutes to Midnight"). • Below the clock there is a sign that reads "Phantom Opera House" in reference to the song "Phantom of the Opera" from the first Iron Maiden album. • Just below the "Phantom Opera House", a writing in very small characters says "Bollocks again & again". This is one of illustrator Derek Riggs' in-jokes, as the word "Bollocks" was hidden in a similar fashion on his previous album cover for Iron Maiden, Powerslave. • On the left side, the "Aces High Bar" ("Aces High" song). • Above the "Aces High Bar", flies a Spitfire-shaped plane. (Spitfires are referenced in "Aces High") • Just below the "Aces High Bar" sign, there is a neon sign representing a plane, apparently in battle, formed by two glasses of stemware. • To the left of the "Aces High Bar", there are four letters in yellow and green. These are Hebrew letters spelling out the name of God, namely ‫הוהי‬, Jehovah/Yahweh (really it is not read, as it is not known exactly how, and, usually, the word ‫יָנֹדֲא‬, Adonai - the Lord, is pronounced on its place in Jewish religious practices). • Below the "Aces High Bar", is a sign that says "Sand Dune" ("To Tame A Land" song, based on a novel "Dune"). • Pyramids in the background (Powerslave cover, also another reference to Blade Runner). • Among the pyramids, a grim reaper. (Similar to the grim reaper that appears on the cover of "The Trooper"). • The marquee for the Movie Theater reads Blade Runner, the film which is the obvious inspiration for the futuristic scene. It also reads "Live After Death", the name of the live album released in 1985. • The cinema is named "Phillip K. Dick Cinema", named after the author of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the book on which the movie Blade Runner was based. • More Blade Runner references include "Dekkers Department Stores" and a "Tyrell Corp" sign. • In the background can be seen "Bradbury Towers" (a likely reference to the Blade Runner prominent Bradbury Building) and The Million Dollar Movie Theater, both located in Los Angeles. It could also be a reference to science fiction author Ray Bradbury • To the right of the clock is a neon sign that reads "Ancient Mariner Seafood Restaurant", a reference to the song "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" from the Powerslave album. • On the bottom left hand side of the cover is "The Ruskin Arms", famous for being one of the first venues performed at by Iron Maiden. • On the second floor of the "Ruskin Arms" building is a woman sitting in a red lit room which is a reference to "Charlotte", a repeated theme in Iron Maiden songs. • Just above "The Ruskin Arms", there is a neon sign that reads "RAINBOW", another famous venue for Iron Maiden. • Above and to the left of the "Rainbow" sign is a neon sign reading "L'AMOURS Beer Gardens", a reference to the "L'Amours" rock venue Iron Maiden once played in Brooklyn, New York. • On the roof of the same building is a police telephone box; this is likely a reference to the time-traveling TARDIS of the BBC TV series Doctor Who. The TARDIS is featured on the cover of the Maiden single "Wasted Years". • Above the Bradbury Towers neon sign is Icarus in flames falling from the sky, in the same style of the cover for the band's 1983 single "Flight of Icarus". It also bears a resemblance to the logo for Swan Song Records, a label founded by Led Zeppelin.

324

"Alexander the Great" • On the walkway above the clock is an electronic sign that says "LATEST RESULTS.......WEST HAM 7........ARSENAL 3", a nod to bass guitarist Steve Harris who is a West Ham supporter, a team known as the "Hammers". • At the right edge below, just near the band, there is another Russian ad - Кефир, "KEFIR", which means "yoghurt". • Just above the Russian ad for "KEFIR" there is the street sign for "Upton Park" - this is where West Ham United F.C. play their home games. • In the band group, Bruce Dickinson is carrying a brain, the main symbol from the Piece of Mind album. • There is a sign that says Gypsy's Kiss which was the first band Steve Harris ever played with. • On the right side, above "Bradbury Towers" sign, there is a Japanese ad "浅田 彰." This refers to a notable Japanese philosopher, economist and critic, Akira Asada. • Right of the pyramids there is a sign where "Long Beach Arena" is written. The Live After Death album was mostly recorded at Long Beach Arena. • The neon sign above the band reads "Maggies Revenge" and refers to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and also references the cover of the Sanctuary and Women in Uniform singles. • One of the buildings is labeled "Asimov Foundation", a reference to the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov. • A character wearing a large cloak stands above the walkway's right side. He has been identified as Batman by The Iron Maiden FAQ [4], but is actually more reminiscent of Erik, the Phantom of the Opera - another reference to the Iron Maiden song inspired by the character. • The cat from Live After Death is on the sidewalk, behind Eddie. • Just below the cloaked character and just above the "Latest Results" is the bracket that held Eddie's skull together from the "Piece of Mind" album on, including this album. • The windows of the Ruskin Arms Hotel, at the far left, are similar to those on the cover of Killers. • In the top left hand corner, in the sky just behind the clouds, is a spaceship. This could be a reference to Steve Harris's favourite band UFO. • Derek Riggs' artistic signature symbol can be found on Eddie's chest. • In the bottom right hand corner all five members of the band are standing in a line. Bruce Dickinson is holding a brain, a reference to Piece of Mind, and Nicko is wearing aviator goggles (he had a pilot's license by this time, long before Bruce Dickinson) and a t-shirt that says "Iron What?". Dave Murray's t-shirt says "Irons 1". • To the right of the "Long Beach Arena" sign, there is a sign that says "Hammerjacks", a night club and concert hall in Baltimore, MD, frequented by the band. The night club closed in 1994; the concert hall is still open however. • Below the Hammerjacks sign, there is a sign that says "Tehe's Bar", which is where the choir vocals in the middle of "Heaven Can Wait" were recorded. • To the left of the clock is a sign that says "Herbert Ails" a reference to author Frank Herbert who wouldn't let the band use the title of his book "Dune" as a song title. • To the left of the Hammerjacks sign, there is a sign that says "TEXAS RECORDS AND TAPES". The band have stated several times that some of their favourite American venues to play are in Texas. • Beneath the Phantom Opera House sign, there is a sign that reads "EMI REC.". Iron Maiden's international records have all been released on the EMI label.

"Charlotte the Harlot" is the name of a song and a character who features in four tracks by the heavy metal group Iron Maiden.

Song appearances • On the self titled Iron Maiden Charlotte made her debut appearance in the song "Charlotte the Harlot", composed by guitarist Dave Murray. • Her second song was "22 Acacia Avenue" from The Number of the Beast (this time composed by Steve Harris and Adrian Smith). The title refers to the residence of Charlotte the Harlot and is a clear sequel where Charlotte is convinced to end her prostitution. The header for the lyrics in the album booklet state 'the continuing saga of Charlotte the Harlot'. • "Hooks in You" from No Prayer for the Dying is usually considered the third Charlotte song. However Charlotte is never referenced, but instead that the narrator has "the keys to view at Number 22". It is worth noting that Adrian Smith, who co-wrote the song with Bruce Dickinson, had been having problems with the style the band was changing to after the 'Somewhere in Time' and 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son' albums and may deliberately have been going over themes from older songs to change this. • "From Here to Eternity" from Fear of the Dark concerns a Charlotte being seduced by a man and his motorcycle. The lyrics of this song could be interpreted to imply that Charlotte dies, and this may be Harris wiping the slate clean. (Composed by Steve Harris). While the latter two songs are clearly intended to reference the former two, they do not form any sort of clear narrative with them. The third one at least sticks to the concept of Charlotte being a prostitute, but the end of '22 Acacia Avenue' has the narrator demanding Charlotte end her life of prostitution and claims, "you're coming with me." It is likely Charlotte's adventures will not continue, due to the style of Maiden's music changing from this point onwards, and due to the fact Charlotte likely "died" in 'From Here to Eternity' (where she is mentioned by name). Charlotte is allegedly depicted on the cover of the single Twilight Zone, in which a picture of Eddie is addressed to her. In an interview, Steve Harris was asked "Is there a real Charlotte?" and answered "sort of", before changing the subject.[1] However, when asked, Paul Di'Anno said the following: "Yep, it's true. Her real name is High Hill Lil and she’s basically an old prostitute. Well, actually she was more of a slut, ha ha! I mean, if you turned up to her house with some booze or some speed you were more or less guaranteed a lay. She was a legend in Walthamstow, everyone knew her... She was about 45 but a real rock out bitch... She’d take any guy from 15 upwards, ha ha! The song says that she lived on Acacia Avenue but it's actually Markhouse Road, just before you go into Leyton 'cause

"Charlotte the Harlot" that's the area where I lived."[2]

"Cross-Eyed Mary" is a song by the English progressive rock band Jethro Tull from their album Aqualung (1971). The song is about "Cross-Eyed Mary", a schoolgirl prostitute[1] who prefers the company of "leching greys" over her schoolmates. It was intended as a companion piece to "Aqualung", a piece on the same album about a homeless man. Indeed, the Aqualung character is given a cameo in "Cross-Eyed Mary". The song has been covered by Elf, Iron Maiden [2] (see Piece of Mind, "The Trooper", The First Ten Years and Best of the B'Sides), and also by Clutch for the Sucking the '70s compilation.

"Die With Your Boots On" is the fourth track on the album Piece of Mind by British Heavy Metal band, Iron Maiden. It was written by guitarist Adrian Smith, vocalist Bruce Dickinson and bassist Steve Harris. The song's main theme is about prophecies and predictions and the impact they can have on people. It is one of the very few songs in which Smith and Harris's voices can be heard singing separately from Dickinson's. They can be heard during the chorus, after each time Dickinson sings the line, "if you're gonna die...", Smith and Harris repeat the line after him. Sonata Arctica covered this song for their Orientation EP. In their version of the song all vocals are done by their lead vocalist, Tony Kakko. There is however still a small vocal contribution to the song by the other members, they sing the Wooowooohooo part together. The all-female tribute band The Iron Maidens recorded a cover of the song on their 2007 EP Route 666. Sonata Arcticas version was also used in the album A Tribute To The Beast, a tribute album to Iron Maiden, where 16 different bands covered 16 different Iron Maiden songs. There is a song of the same name by Toby Keith.

"I Got the Fire"

"I Got the Fire" "I Got the Fire" is a song from the Montrose album Paper Money in 1974. While many consider the album to be an inferior follow up to their debut the previous year, this song stands out as a great song with a riff reminiscent of Led Zeppelin's Black Dog. It is said that this is the only song from that album to maintain the seething incendiary energy from the band's debut album. There is also an interesting story behind the solo: "Guitarist Ronnie Montrose also contributes a solo of singular dexterity and earth-shaking intensity thanks, ironically, to a studio screwup which resulted in the bottom-heavy reverberating noise in its intro." [1] This was one of the last collaborations between Ronnie Montrose and singer Sammy Hagar before Hagar left the band to pursue a solo career. The song was covered by US hard rock band Axe on their 1982 album Offering. The song was also covered by British band Iron Maiden. The group retitled the song "I've Got the Fire" on the b-side of their "Flight of Icarus" single in 1983. Although it had first been released as the B-side of Sanctuary as a live recording at the Marquee in 1980.(This song was covered in 2009 by Canadian rock band Cripple Creek Fairies for their "Metal Arms" Album)

"Invasion" "Invasion" is a song by the heavy metal band Iron Maiden and was released on The Soundhouse Tapes EP in 1979. It was rerecorded in 1981, and the rerecorded version was the B-Side to the Women in Uniform single. The subject of the song is probably the basis for later released "Invaders", from the 1982 album The Number Of The Beast.

"The Longest Day" is a song by British Heavy metal band Iron Maiden and was composed and written by Adrian Smith, Steve Harris, and Bruce Dickinson. The song is featured on their 2006 album, A Matter of Life and Death. James Christopher Monger of Allmusic selected the song as a top track pick, one of only two songs on the album to receive this honour and described the song as "brutal".[1] The song is about the terrifying experience being a soldier during Operation Overlord on D-Day of the 1944 World War II Battle of Normandy. The title of the song comes from the 1962 film The Longest Day which was based on the 1959 novel by Irish author Cornelius Ryan which was also titled The Longest Day. The song is considered a sequel by the band to the war epic Paschendale from the 2003 album Dance of Death written about the World War I Battle of Passchendaele in 1917.[2] The song was played live during every show on the A Matter of Life and Death Tour as the band included the entire performance of the album during every setlist on the tour.[3]

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son is a concept album by heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released in 1988 as the band's seventh studio album on EMI in Europe and its sister label Capitol Records in the US (it was re-released by Sanctuary/Columbia Records in the US in 2002). It is the first Iron Maiden album ever to have keyboards wich is played by Michael Kenney. Along with The Number of the Beast and later Fear of the Dark the album charted no.1 on the UK charts.

"Moonchild"

337

History Seventh Son of a Seventh Son was the last Iron Maiden album to feature guitarist Adrian Smith until the album Brave New World in 2000 (he did write a song that Bruce Dickinson finished for the next album, No Prayer for the Dying, titled "Hooks in You", a loose tie-in to the Charlotte the Harlot saga). "The Clairvoyant" was the first song written for the album. According to Steve Harris, the song's lyrics were inspired by the death of psychic Doris Stokes, saying "if she were really clairvoyant, if she were really able to see the future, wouldn't she have been able to forsee her own death?" At least five of the album's songs ("Moonchild", "Infinite Dreams", "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son", "The Prophecy" and "The Clairvoyant") can be directly related to a main lyrical storyline inspired by the folklore concept. Lyrically, the album centers around some main philosophical ideas: good vs. evil, mysticism, prophetic vision, reincarnation and afterlife. Almost all the album includes direct or indirect references to questions regarding to these concepts and poetically refers the answers. Stylistically, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son develops the sounds first heard on Somewhere in Time (1986), and continues the band's lyrical exploration of topics related to mysticism, power, and the occult. The album debuted at #1 in UK charts (their only since The Number of the Beast) as well as #12 in the U.S, while the singles "Can I Play with Madness", "The Evil That Men Do", "The Clairvoyant (live)" and "Infinite Dreams (live)" reached #3, #5, #6 and #6 positions, respectively. Of all the songs in the album, "The Evil That Men Do", "The Clairvoyant" and "Can I Play with Madness" remained on the set lists of nearly all of the band's concert tours subsequently following the 7th Tour of a 7th Tour.

New Frontier (7)

"Paschendale" (8)

Face in the Sand (9)

"Paschendale" is a song by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden from their 2003 album Dance of Death. It is the eighth track on the album, following "New Frontier" and preceding "Face in the Sand". The song has a length of 8 minutes, 28 seconds, and includes three guitar solos played by Dave Murray, Adrian Smith and Janick Gers respectively. The song, sharing similar lyrical ideas with both "The Trooper" and "Aces High", describes a young soldier who dies in the Battle of Passchendaele, the Third Battle of Ypres campaign, during World War I, and his experiences. Paschendale begins with drummer Nicko McBrain's rhythmic tapping on the hi-hat, simulating the Morse Code used for communication at the time. The song then alternates between sections of loud and soft dynamics, reflecting life in the trenches of World War I, which alternated between fighting and periods of boredom for the soldiers. The muddy conditions of the battle are reflected twice in the lyrics, with the lines, "In the smoke, in the mud and lead" and "Drown in mud, no more tears." The machine gun, a relatively new weapon on the battlefield, is referenced in the line "Rapid fire and the end of us all." The barbed wire that was used by both sides to impede the movements of the enemy is referenced twice, in the lines "Lifeless bodies hang on barbed wire" and "Dodging shrapnel and barbed wire." The line "Surely a war no one can win" recognizes the stalemate that was occurring on the Western Front of the war, where the battle took place. The no man's land between the trenches is referenced in the line "In No Man's Land God only knows". The battle was one of the bloodiest of the entire war, as reflected in the line "Allied troops, they mourn their loss". The war was one of the first where propaganda was heavily used by both sides, partially reflected in the line "German war propaganda machine/Such before has never been seen". After the two guitar solos, the song becomes an account from the soldier's perspective of an unsuccessful charge on the enemy's trench. After a final chorus, the song ends as it began, slow and poignant, as the soldier describes his soul joining those of his fallen comrades and enemies, in peace. The part "into jaws of death we go" is a quote from the poem "The Charge of the Light Brigade", the same poem on which The Trooper was based. The live version of the song on the album Death on the Road includes an introduction by Bruce Dickinson, wherein parts from the first and second stanzas of the poem "Anthem for Doomed Youth" by Wilfred Owen, a British war

"Paschendale" poet who was killed in the First World War a week before the signing of the Armistice are recited. Similar to live versions of The Trooper, Dickinson wears a replica of an army coat worn at the time of the Battle of Passchendaele. On the limted edition EP No More Lies there is an orchestral version of Paschendale with a symphonic orchestra.

"Transylvania" (5)

"Phantom of the Opera" is a song from Iron Maiden's debut album Iron Maiden. It was written by Steve Harris. It is the fourth track from the original US & UK album releases, and was the fifth track from the remastered 1998 release CD. It is based on the French novel The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux. The song is also a fan favorite, and is often played at the band's concerts. According to Bruce Dickinson, the song is "everything" to them. In the United Kingdom, the song is best known for its use in the Lucozade commercial in the 1980s.[1] In 2008, using the intro like the original, it was parodied for a TV teaser trailer for I'm a Celebrity... Get Me out of Here!.[2] The first of the guitar solos (played around the 5 min mark) is played by Dave Murray, and second by Dennis Stratton, although nowadays is played by both Janick Gers and Adrian Smith. In the studio, guitarist Dennis Stratton recorded a number of vocal harmonies, which band manager Rod Smallwood later removed as it made the band sound "too much like Queen".

"Prowler" "Sanctuary" (1) (2)

"Prowler" is the first track from the eponymous debut album of British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. Although it was not released as a single, it is believed to be one of the first songs written by Steve Harris. The song appeared on the original Maiden demo The Soundhouse Tapes but had been a part of the band's song list far longer. The song was played at almost every concert during the band's early years up until the World Piece Tour 83' where it was played only a few times. The song has since fallen out of regular use, though it is still considered to be one of their famous songs. During the release of The Early Days DVD the band performed "Prowler" during every performance of the Early Days Tour. On the DVD collection the song is featured on the Ruskin Arms video and is played briefly when Steve Harris mentions it on the Early Days documentary. "Prowler" was re-recorded in 1988 (along with Charlotte the Harlot) and was aptly titled 'Prowler '88' for the B-side of The Evil That Men Do single with singer Bruce Dickinson on vocals. The song was covered in 2008 by Black Tide on the tribute CD Maiden Heaven: A Tribute to Iron Maiden by Kerrang! magazine.[1] The lyrics are about a man who stalks and flashes women, and possibly also masturbates while watching these women ("Got me feeling myself and reeling around"). The song has also been covered live by American Heavy Metal band Metallica in 1992.

"Remember Tomorrow" is the second track from Iron Maiden's self titled album. It was written by Steve Harris and Paul Di'Anno. Steve Harris, in a July 1983 interview with John Stix said, "This song is an old stage favorite. The crowds used to be really into this one. Paul Di'Anno wrote the lyrics to it. I wrote the music. Actually I played the parts I had and he worked it out. There's a lot of feeling in this song. Mind you I think any song should be filled with feeling. But on the slow parts of this one I think there is that extra measure." It has also been said by Paul Di'Anno that the song was a tribute to his grandfather and that "Remember Tomorrow" was a phrase he used. Several bands have covered 'Remember Tomorrow' including Anthrax and Crowbar. Notably, the Swedish metal band Opeth covered this track for the A Call to Irons: A Tribute to Iron Maiden album and the recording later appeared on a re-release of their 1998 album My Arms, Your Hearse. The all-female tribute band The Iron Maidens recorded a live cover of the song as a hidden track on their self-titled debut album. The song was covered in 2008 by Metallica on the tribute CD Maiden Heaven: A Tribute to Iron Maiden released by Kerrang! magazine. Metallica has stated this song had always been an Iron Maiden favorite of theirs. Also, Metallica has often played parts of this song live at their own shows. Metallica have stated on their website that the song "was basically the blueprint for songs like 'Fade to Black' and 'Sanitarium' [1].

"Where Eagles Dare" (1)

"Flight of Icarus" (3)

"Revelations" is the second track from Iron Maiden's fourth studio album Piece of Mind. It is one of the few Maiden songs written solely by Bruce Dickinson. The song is a fan favorite and is frequently performed live. On earlier live performances of the song, Dickinson played rhythm guitar on one section that required a dual lead performed by Dave Murray and Adrian Smith. In more recent performances such as Eddie Rips Up The World Tour and Somewhere Back In Time World Tour, the rhythm guitar section was performed by Janick Gers, giving Dickinson more freedom around the stage. A faster version of the song is included in the Live After Death album, which contains many differences with the studio recording.

Influences The lyrics are based partly on a book by Aleister Crowley, but this is also juxtaposed with a verse taken from a hymn by G. K. Chesterton[1], which forms the first verse of the song: O God of earth and altar, Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die; The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, But take away our pride.

"Too Much Monkey Business" (1956)

"Roll Over Beethoven" is a 1956 hit single by Chuck Berry originally released on Chess Records, with "Drifting Heart" as the B-side. The lyrics of the song mention rock and roll and the desire for rhythm and blues to replace classical music. The song has been covered by many other artists and Rolling Stone ranked it #97 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

Inspiration and lyrics According to Rolling Stone[1] and Cub Koda of Allmusic,[2] Berry wrote the song in response to his sister Lucy always using the family piano to play classical music when Berry wanted to play contemporary popular music. In addition to classical composers Beethoven and Tchaikovsky, the lyrics mention or allude to several popular artists. "Early in the Mornin'" is the title of a Louis Jordan song and "Blue Suede Shoes" refers to the Carl Perkins song. Finally, "Hey Diddle Diddle" which comes from the nursery rhyme, "The Cat and the Fiddle", is an indirect reference to Berry's Chess stablemate Bo Diddley, who was an accomplished violin player. Although the lyrics mention rocking and rolling, the music that the classics are supposed to step aside for is always referred to as "rhythm and blues" (R&B). Arthur Alexander appropriated the lyric "a shot of rhythm and blues" for the title of his later song. Later in the song, a "rhythm revue" describes the old style R&B show with many featured artists appearing on one bill in front of a big band.

Release Berry's version was originally released as a single by Chess Records in May 1956 with "Drifting Heart" as the B-side.[3] "Roll Over Beethoven" and three other Berry songs appeared on the Rock, Rock, Rock album, ostensibly a soundtrack to the film of the same name, but only four of the twelve songs on the album appeared in the film. There have been many subsequent releases on compilation albums.

Critical acclaim In 2003, Berry's single was one of 50 recordings chosen that year by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry. In 2004, "Roll Over Beethoven" was ranked number 97 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time. In the accompanying review, they wrote that it "became the ultimate rock & roll call to arms, declaring a new era."[4] Koda calls it a "masterpiece" that helped to define the rock and roll genre.[2]

"Roll Over Vic Vella"

The Beatles "Roll Over Beethoven" was a favourite of John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison even before they had chosen "The Beatles" as their name, and they continued to play it live right into their American tours of 1964. Their version of "Roll Over Beethoven" was recorded on 30 July 1963 for their second British LP, With The Beatles, and features George Harrison on vocals and guitar.[5] In the United States, it was released 10 April 1964 as the opening track of The Beatles' Second Album.[6] In 1994, The Beatles released a live version of "Roll Over Beethoven" on Live at the BBC. This live version was recorded on 28 February 1964 and broadcast on 30 March 1964 as part of a BBC series starring The Beatles called From Us to You.[7] This version of "Roll Over Beethoven" was used in the film Superman III directed by Richard Lester who also directed The Beatles' first two films, Help! and A Hard Day's Night. The Rutles' song "Blue Suede Schubert" is based on The Beatles' cover of this song.

Electric Light Orchestra "Roll Over Beethoven" is the second single released by the Electric Light Orchestra. It became their second consecutive top ten hit in the UK, as well as a hit in the United States when an edited version of the track was taken from the album ELO 2 in 1973. ELO's elaborate eight-minute reworking of the track included an opening musical quote from Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and clever interpolations of material from the symphony's first movement into Berry's song; the band closed all their concerts using this number, their signature song. The B-side Queen of the Hours was the first ever ELO published song, released by Harvest Records in November 1971 in a compilation called The Harvest Bag which featured various Harvest records artists.

Meat Loaf Meat Loaf has performed many rock covers for his concerts throughout his career, including Chuck Berry songs. His covers of "Roll Over Beethoven" have been in his "Rock Medleys" of Elvis, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard favorites. Though a cover was never officially released into the medley, being edited out of the CD recording of the tour, it has been on one of Meat Loaf's Objects in the Rear View Mirror singles, recorded for VH-1 in the early 90's according to the CD jacket.

Iron Maiden Iron Maiden included a cover of the Berry song on the B-side of their single "From Here to Eternity", called "Roll Over Vic Vella". The song features different lyrics (written by Steve Harris) about the band's long-time tour manager, Vic Vella.

"Strange World" is a song from the band's debut album Iron Maiden. It was written by Steve Harris and co-written by Paul Day, although Paul Day wasn't credited [1] . It is the sixth track from the original US & UK album releases; and the seventh track from the remastered 1998 release CD. "Strange World" tells of a dystopian society, where people never grow old. Amongst other things the narrator (singer) laments how "smiling faces [are] ever so rare". The lyrics also contain what could be allusions or references to several famous dystopian fictions: the lack of aging and any emotions but empty happiness amongst the people could be references to Brave New World by Aldous Huxley; the line "ship of white light in the sky" could be an allusion to the novel We, specifically the scene in which it was discovered most of the world had been destroyed by a superweapon, as nowadays the term "superweapon" would likely be associated with nuclear warfare; and the lyric "living here just isn't the place" could be voicing on the running theme amongst dystopian fiction of seemingly perfect societies that beneath the surface really aren't perfect at all. The song that precedes it will always be Transylvania, the famous instrumental piece, because they both merge, as one song if listened to. This song was covered by spanish heavy metal band Mägo de Oz in 1999 for the special compilation: Transilvania 666.

"To Tame a Land" (9)

"To Tame a Land" is the closing track on Iron Maiden's fourth studio album, Piece of Mind. The song contains some unusual modulations (such as from B minor to Ab minor just before the main riff sets in). Around 4:09 into the track, it quotes the main theme of classical guitar showpiece Leyenda (Asturias) by the Spanish composer Isaac Albéniz. The track was only performed live on the World Piece Tour in support of Piece of Mind in 1983. When the song ended, it would segue into a guitar solo spot from co-lead guitarist Dave Murray and then a drum solo from Nicko McBrain.

Cover versions "To Tame a Land" has been covered by the Pyrenean band Stille Volk (under the title "Adoumestica Una Terro"). The song was also covered in 2008 by Dream Theater on the tribute CD Maiden Heaven: A Tribute to Iron Maiden released by Kerrang! magazine,[1] and is included in the special edition release of their 2009 album Black Clouds & Silver Linings.

"Total Eclipse" 'Total Eclipse' is a song by British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. It appears eighth on their 1982 album The Number of the Beast. This and Gangland are the only two songs to be written by drummer Clive Burr. It was originally left off the album and appeared only as a b-side; however, the band members felt the song was too good to be left off the album and included it in the setlist on the tour promoting The Number of the Beast, and was eventually added to the album on the 1998 CD remaster release.

"Transylvania" is an instrumental piece by the band Iron Maiden, which was composed by founder and bassist Steve Harris while he was with his previous band Smiler. The song appears as the fifth track on the original U.S. & U.K. releases of their debut album Iron Maiden and as the sixth track of the remastered release of the same album. Steve came up with the basic idea of the song while walking home from a local club called the Cart & Horses. He presented the song to his band at the time, Smiler, but everyone in Smiler found most of his songs too complicated, and refused to play them. When he formed Iron Maiden Transylvania became a regularly played song during The Early Days. The piece would be the guitar solo spot of guitarist Dave Murray in live performances from 1980-82 as heard on the Beast Over Hammersmith live recording from March, 1982. Another example was featured on the The BBC Archives recorded at The Reading Festival in August of 1982 which is of note when co-lead guitarist Adrian Smith had to play the second lead guitar solo before the finale as Murray had to replace his guitar which went dead. Transylvania was covered by American heavy metal band Iced Earth (on their 2001 studio album Horror Show), by the all-female Malaysian band Candy and by the all-female tribute band The Iron Maidens (on their 2008 EP The Root of All Evil). In 2008, on the Somewhere Back in Time World Tour the band used a recorded audio track of the song Transylvania and various video footage, including that of Ed Force One, as an intro at the concerts.

"Where Eagles Dare" (1)

"Revelations" (2)

"Where Eagles Dare" is the opening track on Iron Maiden's fourth studio album, Piece of Mind. It begins with a drum introduction by Nicko McBrain and features a fast paced, driving guitar riff and bass line. It is based on the 1967 novel and 1968 film of the same name. The song was also covered on Fozzy's album, Happenstance. According to statements on 12 Wasted Years, the band's crew found Nicko's performance on the recording extremely exhausting to the eye. It is often considered one of Nicko McBrain's most famous and difficult drumming performances. Towards the middle of the song, the sound of gunfire is heard during the guitar solo, which, when played live, is emulated using the effects alone to introduce the beginning of the song[1] .

"The Ides of March" (1)

"Wrathchild" (2)

"Murders in the Rue Morgue" (3)

"Wrathchild" is the second track from the heavy metal band Iron Maiden's second album, Killers. It opens with a dark, lurking bass riff by Steve Harris - also the main writer of the song - before going into a short guitar solo by Dave Murray and then proceeding straight into the first verse. The song's lyrics are based from the perspective of a young man who's birth was unplanned by his parents, and decides to seek his father and never stop until he finds him. "Wrathchild" has grown to be one of the band's most famous songs since the release on Killers in 1981, still being played in live performances in the present, often as one of the first songs in the tracklist.

Trivia • A remade version of the song was found on the Iron Maiden tribute album Numbers from the Beast, with the original vocalist Paul Di'Anno, Testament guitarist Alex Skolnick, Helmet guitarist Chris Traynor, Anthrax bassist Frank Bello and White Zombie drummer John Tempesta. • A cover version of the song was found in the music video game Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s. • A cover version of the song is planning to be launched in a downloadable, metal-based song pack for the music video game Rock Band, as well. • A cover version of the song was made by Paul Di'Anno's band Killers on their album Murder One.

Live After Death (1985)

Behind the Iron Curtain is a discontinued VHS/Beta/LaserDisc/VHD video by the English metal band Iron Maiden. The video features footage of the band on the road in Eastern Europe in 1984, performing concerts in Hungary, Poland, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia as part of the World Slavery Tour. The title refers to the fact that the band were touring inside the Iron Curtain (countries within the Eastern Bloc); unusual given the area's separation from the West due to the then-ongoing Cold War. Aside from two promotional videos from the album Powerslave, the video also contains two live tracks and interviews with band members. The video has no MPAA rating and has a running length of 30 minutes. An expanded 58 minute version of the documentary is included on disc 2 of the Live After Death DVD. This expanded version was broadcasted by MTV in 1984 and was until the release of the Live After Death DVD only available on several bootleg recordings. Analysis of the tracks revealed that the audio of the tracks on the original video differ from the audio of the expanded documentary on the DVD version[2] .

Live After Death is the video compendium to the double-live Iron Maiden album of the same name. Released in VHS/Beta/LaserDisc/VHD/Hi-8 and DVD. Prior to the official DVD release in 2008, bootleg DVDs from Brazil had been illegally sold over the past few years. These DVDs were obviously produced using the laserdisc release of the video as the master. The video captures Iron Maiden in concert, recorded over a sold-out four-night stand at Long Beach Arena on the second night, March 15th 1985, during their World Slavery Tour. The video contains footage from a completely different night from the album, and was originally aired as a special on MTV. Iron Maiden released it on DVD on 4 February 2008, which coincided with the start of the band's Somewhere Back In Time World Tour.[1] On March 11, 2008 it was certified Gold by the RIAA having sold 50,000 units.[2] The new release had two mixes of the audio: Martin Birch's version which serves as the original concert audio, and a brand new 5.1 Stereo mix by Kevin Shirley. In addition to the nearly complete concert, the DVD followed up the documentary of the band on 2004's The Early Days with a focus on the Powerslave era of the band, as well as featuring a documentary on the band's tour of Poland and Germany, highlights of their set at Rock in Rio 1985 and other assorted footage.

''Live After Death'' Live After Death is distributed in the U.S. by Universal Music Group/Sony BMG Music Entertainment and in the rest of the world by EMI. It has been labeled with the Parental Advisory sticker due to profanity in the concert and the History of Iron Maiden documentary.

Raising Hell is a concert video by the heavy metal band Iron Maiden, filmed on August 28, 1993 at the Pinewood Studios in London, England and broadcast live on pay-per-view television in North America. It was later bought by the BBC for broadcast in the UK as an edited version. The video is distributed on VHS and DVD by BMG Special Products in the U.S. and EMI in the rest of the world. The concert was the last to feature vocalist Bruce Dickinson (until he returned to the band in 1999). The band played on stage in conjunction with horror magician Simon Drake, who ended up "killing" Bruce in an Iron Maiden torture device, "amputated" Dave Murray's hands on a table saw and "killed" members of the crew and audience.

''Raising Hell''

Track listing 1. "Be Quick or Be Dead" 2. "The Trooper" • Drake introduces this song while sitting down and swallowing a large pill. Suddenly, his pants open and two women pop out. 3. "The Evil That Men Do" 4. "The Clairvoyant" 5. "Hallowed Be Thy Name" • Following this performance, Drake stabs his forearm with a long knife. Shortly after pulling the knife out, he simply wipes his forearm clean of any blood and reveals that the knife wound has disappeared. He then pulls out a cigar, but realizes he doesn't have a lighter. A fan in the front row gives him a lighter, but when Drake sees it doesn't work, he has the fan pulled out by his two henchmen and locked in a chest. Drake then "cremates" the fan by setting the inside of the chest on fire using a pair of electrical wires severed from a battery. 6. "Wrathchild" 7. "Transylvania" 8. "From Here to Eternity" • During this performance, Drake has Murray's hands amputated on two cutting boards to have them play his guitar. Murray returns before the next song. 9. "Fear of the Dark" • Following this number, Drake has a woman named Tracy chained before he rips her heart out from behind. After hammering the heart on a table, he inserts it back into her, bringing her back to life. A fan shouts something derogatory towards Drake, prompting him to have the fan pulled out of the crowd and stuffed into a black speaker box with his head and limbs sticking out. Drake and his female assistant twist the fan's arms, legs and head before he plugs the speaker box to an outlet, electrocuting the fan before the box explodes. 10. "The Number of the Beast" 11. "Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter" • During this performance, Drake slices a woman in two with a circular saw. After the performance, he drills a female assistant's head with an improvised drilling machine. He then decapitates a fan with a saw and plays football with the head before disposing it in a garbage can and dropping a grenade on it. Then, with a painted mannequin head and a cloak attached to the body, he brings the fan back to life. • Drake introduces the song by stabbing a female assistant against the top of a television set. He then rips his shirt to reveal a clock on his chest. 12. "2 Minutes to Midnight" 13. "Afraid to Shoot Strangers" 14. "Heaven Can Wait" 15. "Sanctuary" 16. "Run to the Hills" 17. "Iron Maiden" • At the end of this performance, Bruce is dragged to another stage by Drake's assistants, where he is locked inside an Iron Maiden torture chamber. The spikes inside the chamber impale and "kill" Bruce within seconds. Suddenly, Eddie appears from behind Drake and lures him back to the main stage, where he is knocked unconscious by his own female assistant. Drake's two assistants and Eddie carry the magician to the tip of a long spike pointing upwards, which impales him in seconds. Eddie then returns to the other stage to decapitate Bruce and skewer the severed head on the tip of the spike.

Notes • The Live in Dortmund concert is missing the band's performance of "Iron Maiden," which was cut from ZDF TV's original broadcast as it was deemed "too violent." At the end of the performance, the band "mutilated" Eddie first, with Bruce Dickinson ripping his brain pieces out, followed by the other members kicking him on the ground until finally, Dave Murray smashed his then-favorite Fender Stratocaster on him.[2] A low-quality version of the footage can be found on Disc 2 of the Live After Death DVD. • Videotaped by a friend of Steve Harris, Live at the Ruskin Arms is the earliest video coverage of the band performing live. [3] • The band's performance of "Running Free" on the German show Rock and Pop was one of a handful of lip-synched performances, as the band prefers to perform live. • "Remember Tomorrow" was also performed when the band made their appearance on the Rock and Pop. The reasons why it was dropped for the DVD are unknown. Also, on the VH1 special Heavy: The Story Of Metal, an excerpt of the performance of "Running Free" from the band's appearance on Rock and Pop was shown but instead has a bit of a more cleaner quality than the one found on the DVD.

"Sequel" - Somewhere Back in Time During Iron Maiden's "A Matter of Life and Death" world tour, Bruce Dickinson mentioned that Maiden would be "bringing back the 80's Egyptian thing in 2008" (apparently referring to their Powerslave album). This referred to a "sequel" to the 2005 "Early Days" Tour and this DVD, which was in line with earlier comments that there would be a tour with songs from the Powerslave to Seventh Son of A Seventh Son era albums. This tour was called The Somewhere Back In Time World Tour. Part 2 of The Early Days is now in disc 2 of the Live After Death DVD.

Iron Maiden: Flight 666 is a British/Canadian award winning concert documentary film featuring the heavy metal band Iron Maiden. The film follows the band on the first leg of their Somewhere Back in Time World Tour between February and March 2008. Flight 666 is co-produced by Toronto-based Banger Productions, known for their documentaries Metal: A Headbanger's Journey and Global Metal. The film was shot in High-definition video with accompanying 5.1 surround sound produced by Kevin Shirley (who has worked with the band since their 2000 album Brave New World). It was distributed by EMI (except in the U.S., where it was distributed by Universal Music Group) in select digital theatres on April 21, 2009.[1]

Theatrical showings The film had its UK Premiere on Monday April 20 2009 with members of the band and crew joining the special screened showings. The following night, the movie was shown simultaneously to over 450 screens in 41 countries globally. It was the largest simultaneous worldwide release of a documentary film, with digital-only prints instead of the more common 35mm prints usually shown in theaters. The film made history with this unique digital DLP cinema showing. The movie generated a word of mouth buzz, including additional radio marketing for the digital première. With this amount of publicity, Flight 666 had two nights of high profile coverage worldwide. In India it was released in 7 cities by PVR Films on 8th May 2009, playing in over 20 theaters for a minimum of 2 weeks, making it the most widespread release for a documentary film in the country.

''Iron Maiden: Flight 666''

Reception Flight 666 was welcomed by overwhelmingly positive reviews from the music press and general media. Rock and metal magazines Kerrang! and Metal Hammer each gave the movie full marks, with Kerrang! referring to it as a "unique peek behind the Iron Curtain" that was "not to be missed" and Metal Hammer calling it a "continent-jumping, fire-breathing monster of a film". Outside the music media The Sun gave it 4.5 out of 5, calling it an "outstanding Access All Areas documentary" and going onto say that "if you're not a fan, you will be after this". Empire gave it 4 stars and felt that the behind the scenes antics were interesting, despite lacking in drama when compared to Metallica's rockumentary "Some Kind of Monster". Empire went on to comment on the "magnificent" concert footage.[4] [5] Sky News also referred to it as "a music documentary that really delivers where so many others disappoint". Flight 666 also won the "24 Beats Per Second" award for best music documentary at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas.[6]

193 Iron Maiden tour chronology

World Piece Tour (1983)

World Slavery Tour (1984/85)

Somewhere On Tour (1986/87)

The World Slavery Tour was a concert tour by the heavy metal band Iron Maiden from August 9, 1984 to July 5, 1985 ending at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre in Irvine, California. The tour was in support of the band's fifth album Powerslave, which was completed before the tour. It was one of the longest tours in rock history. Though the tour itself was very successful, by its end in 1985, it had left the band exhausted and led to a break for the rest of the year before the band started work on Somewhere In Time in 1986. The tour lasted 331 days and 193 gigs. Some of the original props from the tour, like the sarcophagi, can be seen in Eddie's Bar in Portugal. Iron Maiden's live album Live After Death was recorded during this tour, during the band's four shows at London's Hammersmith Odeon in October 1984 and four shows at the Long Beach Arena in Long Beach, California in March 1985. A documentary video Behind the Iron Curtain was filmed during the first few shows in August 1984, which lead the band through Poland, Hungary, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia for the first time in their career. The band's 2008-2009 tour, Somewhere Back In Time World Tour, has a set that is very similar to that used on the World Slavery Tour. They played in 24 countries. Several dates in South Africa were cancelled due to the name of the tour.

The Brave New World Tour was a concert tour by Iron Maiden which began on 2 June 2000 and ended on 19 January 2001. The tour was in support of the release of their 2000 album Brave New World. In Europe, the tour was called Metal 2000. Three dates scheduled for Germany and Bulgaria in mid-July 2000 were canceled so that guitarist Janick Gers could recover after an infamous accident at Mannheim, Germany, on 8 July where Gers slipped and fell off the stage, sustaining a concussion and spraining his back.

Dance Of Death World Tour (2003/04)

Eddie Rips Up The World Tour (2005)

A Matter Of Life And Death Tour (2006/07)

Eddie Rips Up the World Tour was a concert tour by Iron Maiden in 2005 to support the release of the band's DVD The Early Days. Hence, the set list consisted of songs from the band's 1980 debut album to 1983's Piece of Mind. At July 9, the final concert of the European Tour at Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, Sweden, was broadcast live in full on both Swedish national television and radio. The August 20, 2005 show at the Hyundai Pavilion in San Bernardino, CA, was part of Ozzfest, and ended in a sour note. In retaliation to vocalist Bruce Dickinson's comments on Ozzy Osbourne using an Autocue on stage, Ozzy's wife Sharon and daughter Kelly had some people from the crowd and members of other bands spoil Iron Maiden's performance by pelting the band with eggs and running on stage with a flag that read, "Don't Fuck with Ozzy." In addition, Sharon had the P.A. system shut off multiple times, cutting off power to Dickinson's microphone and the band's instruments. At the end of the band's performance, Sharon entered the stage to the unanimous boos from the crowd and stated that while she loved Iron Maiden, she called Dickinson a "prick."[1] Following the show, Iron Maiden's manager Rod Smallwood issued a statement condemning the incident.[2]

Opening Bands Opening bands for this tour were: Mastodon, DragonForce, Dream Theater, Marilyn Manson, Turbonegro and more

A Matter of Life and Death Tour (2006/07)

Somewhere Back in Time World Tour (2008)

A Matter of Life and Death and A Matter of the Beast were two concert tours by Iron Maiden from 2006 to 2007. The first tour was unique, as the set list primarily consisted of the band's album A Matter of Life and Death in its entirety. Unusually, one of the setlists of the tour didn't have the songs "The Number of the Beast" and "The Trooper", songs that were played in all shows up to then.

A Matter Of Life And Death Tour (2006-2007)

Somewhere Back In Time World Tour (2008-2009)

The Final Frontier World Tour (2010)

Somewhere Back in Time World Tour was a concert tour by Iron Maiden in 2008 and 2009 to promote the DVD release of their 1985 concert video Live After Death, a second installment in a series of DVD re-releases of concerts, supported by tours, titled "The History of Iron Maiden". To tie in with the tour, a new greatest hits compilation Somewhere Back In Time - The Best Of: 1980-1989 - was also released. These combined with Iron Maiden's Bruce Airways service (where singer Bruce Dickinson flies fans to concerts) and their most expansive merchandise campaign - including an individual tour shirt for each concert among other things - mean this tour was heralded as the band's most important in many years. Many of the band's songs had not been played in a long time, as much as 21 years in one case, and two of them ("Moonchild" and "Rime of the Ancient Mariner") never played by the current line-up. A subsequent tour documentary titled Flight 666 was released in April 2009 with an accompanying DVD and soundtrack, with a limited release of the documentary into cinemas. The World Slavery Tour's stage had been the biggest and most complicated the band ever designed, but a number of modifications were made for this tour. The tour used an updated version of the band's 1984-5 World Slavery Tour stage set, which carried an Ancient Egyptian theme, and the band played a set focussing on the 1980s - specifically the years when albums Powerslave (1984), Somewhere in Time (1986) and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (1988) were released. The only song the band played that was not from the 1980s was the title track from 1992's Fear of the Dark album, because it is one of the band's best known songs. During the whole tour Iron Maiden played to more than 2 million people worldwide.

Somewhere Back in Time World Tour

Tour commentary The first leg of Iron Maiden's Somewhere Back in Time World Tour opened in Mumbai, India on February 1, and continued through Australia, Japan, Los Angeles and Mexico, followed by concerts in Costa Rica, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Puerto Rico and New Jersey, before finishing in Toronto, on March 16. Over the 45 day period the band played 23 concerts to over 500,000 fans in 11 countries, flying close to 50,000 miles in the specially refitted plane: Iron Maiden's Boeing 757 tour plane, nicknamed "Ed Force One." Boeing 757, dubbed "Ed Force One" after a competition to name the plane. On this leg of the tour, the Iron Maiden: Flight 666 movie was filmed. Concerning concerts in Scandinavia, EMA Telstar announced that the Iron Maiden tour will be the biggest rock tour that any band has ever undertaken in these Nordic regions. Comments tour promoter Thomas Johansson of EMA Telstar: "We are all very proud to be making history by giving our rock fans the biggest Nordic Rock Tour there has ever been and certainly one of the most spectacular. Maiden is so hugely popular with the Nordic peoples that we wanted to ensure that as many fans as possible got the opportunity to see this very special show next year as we expect demand for tickets to be enormous.",[1] Maiden had also announced that they would be returning to cities that they hadn't returned to for years. Western Canada is included, as their five city run through Western Canada had sold out the very day they went on sale. Calgary and Regina had sold out in just under an hour. Edmonton sold out completely in a few hours. Winnipeg and Vancouver sold out within two hours. Calgary also had the highest pre-sale ever for the band, in which they sold out half the tickets. Edmonton and Regina were not far behind. Says Dickinson about the results: "We are truly overwhelmed by this response, especially as some of these cities we haven't played in 20 years!! Being Brits we are always very comfortable with Canadians and it will be a great pleasure to get back on the prairies again. It was always a LOUD response there! We look forward to this immensely and hope to give you all a show to remember."[2] Most recently they played at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Tickets to this show were sold out. During the performance of "Powerslave" the band's instruments lost power for a brief period of time and they passed time by playing football on the stage. Once the equipment was fixed they returned and asked the audience if they should play the last verse of the song or do the next one. The band opted to play the next song which was "Heaven Can Wait". Rarely ever have Maiden been canceling gigs in the past 2 years, but due to storm damage to the PA and lights at the Metalway Festival in Zaragoza, Spain, Maiden had to cancel their July 12 date. The Metalway Festival in Zaragoza could be rescheduled, but it seems unlikely that Maiden can appear for their fans in Zaragoza.[3] The March 15th presentation, in São Paulo's Race Course, had Maiden's all-time biggest attendance for them as sole performers (not a festival). Bruce Dickinson announced to the crowd that "100.000 fans" were at the venue, and later the number was resized to 63.000.

• There are rumours of the producers that more than 95,000 tickets were sold for the São Paulo concert. Official numbers were around 65,000, due to organizator's problems with fire department and security hiring for the actual attendance. • On the Latin American Leg in 2009 Iron Maiden played 16 gigs to well over half a million people. Their show at Autodromo de Interlagos had the biggest attendance for a rock music event in history of the venue. All number figures according to local reviews sites statistics, published and multiplexed many times.

The Final Frontier World Tour (2010-2011)

The Final Frontier World Tour is a concert tour by Iron Maiden that began on June 9, 2010 in Dallas, Texas. The tour comes in support of the band's 15th album, The Final Frontier. The news was announced on the band's official website on March 5th under the following statement[1] : "Iron Maiden are pleased to announce that their forthcoming new studio album will be called 'The Final Frontier', and is expected be released late summer of this year. The announcement comes with news of a North American Tour with Very Special Guests Dream Theater to open in Dallas, Texas, on 9th June and finish in Washington D.C. on 20th July, making it Maiden's most extensive North American tour in many years. Following these shows in USA and Canada The Final Frontier World Tour will travel back to Europe for a few selected major festival and stadium shows with the band planning to continue to many other countries in 2011." Concerning the tour, Steve Harris said on June 7[2] : “We’re hugely excited about this tour. I think the fans will really like the brand new stage production and lights and we will also be debuting one of the new album tracks, "El Dorado." Our Texan fans will be the very first people anywhere to hear it live, so it will be interesting to see their reaction and how it goes down with the crowd on the night! Eddie has changed a bit for this tour but is possibly the most outrageous one to date... I can’t say too much about him as don’t want to spoil the surprise but I guarantee he will scare the hell out of you!”

Opening bands • Dream Theater on all North American dates except Winnipeg[1] • Automan in Winnipeg[3] • Heaven & Hell were scheduled to support in both Bergen, Norway[4] and Dublin, Ireland,[5] but due to Ronnie James Dio's ongoing battle with cancer, all of the band's summer concerts were canceled on 4 May 2010.[6] Dio later died on 16 May 2010.[7]

Creatures of the Night Tour (1982-1983)

The Unmasked Tour was a 1980 concert tour by the hard rock group Kiss. It was the first tour not to feature original drummer Peter Criss, and the touring debut of his replacement Eric Carr. The Unmasked tour was the first time that Kiss only played in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, with only one show played in the United States, at the Palladium Theatre in New York. "Cold Gin" returned to the set for the first time since the Rock & Roll Over Tour, as did "Strutter", which had not been performed live since the Destroyer Tour. Iron Maiden were the opening act for the European leg of the tour.[1]

Tour setlist 1. "Detroit Rock City" 2. "Cold Gin" 3. "Strutter" 4. "Calling Dr. Love" 5. "Is That You?" 6. "Firehouse" 7. "Talk to Me" 8. "Shandi" 9. "2,000 Man" 10. "I Was Made for Lovin' You 11.

Cancelled European tour The planned summer 1980 UK tour was initially announced in February 1980, though the dates had leaked in late January. The Wembley dates, at least, went on sale on April 17. The tour, including European dates, was cancelled in April. The official statement released regarding this stated "Due to the extended studio time KISS needed to complete the recording of their next album, 'KISS Unmasked...' The decision to postpone the tour was made by the management and the group when they realized they wouldn't have time to record the album and rehearse their show before the tour started" (Sounds, 4/26/80). However, it was rumored at the time that "KISS have been re-negotiating their contract with Casablanca and were unable to do their UK and European tours as planned because of this (ongoing?) label limbo situation" (Sounds, 5/10/80). However, the Wembley dates had only sold £200 worth of tickets, and only 7 Edinburgh tickets had been sold due to that show having gone on sale the day prior to cancellation and only having been advertised locally. Dates were rescheduled in May, though negotiations for concerts in Brighton and Edinburgh were not successful.

Chemical Wedding (released in the U.S. as Crowley[1] ) is a British supernatural horror/science fiction film produced by Bill&Ben Productions in conjunction with the London-based Focus Films. It is directed by Julian Doyle, who edited Terry Gilliam's Brazil and Time Bandits, Life of Brian and The Meaning of Life. The story is based on an original screenplay by Bruce Dickinson, frontman of heavy metal band Iron Maiden. Dickinson released a solo album entitled The Chemical Wedding in 1998, which despite sharing the title and title track from the film's soundtrack, is otherwise unrelated.

Chemical Wedding

Plot Upon entering a VR machine, Professor Oliver Haddo, a modern Cambridge scholar, becomes possessed by the spirit of the infamous occultist Aleister Crowley, as the machine's program has been corrupted by a former follower of Crowley. Resurrected 50 years after his death, Crowley begins his occult practices anew, with devastating results.

Production The film was originally proposed in 2000 and was to have been produced by Terry Jones' "Messiah Films"[2] , but was later adopted by Focus Films. David Pupkewitz and Malcolm Kohll produced the film, with Ben Timlett and Justin Peyton of Bill and Ben Productions and Duellist Film Production in association with MotionFX and E-Motion. Executive producers are Andy Taylor, Paul Astrom-Andrews and Peter Dale. Warner Music released the soundtrack of the film in the UK. Edward Noeltner's Cinema Management Group handled international sales.[3] [4] . The film received its world premiere at the Sci-Fi-London film festival on May 4, 2008[5] . According to Rockerparis, Iron Maiden lead singer Bruce Dickinson was in Paris, France on November 26 to promote the DVD release of this film. The screening and press conference were held in a private cinema in front of Europe 1 radio near the Champs Elysées.[6] Dickinson, who has a small cameo role in the film, has stated that "On several levels, I think it will be nice for them [Iron Maiden fans] to see somebody from Maiden doing something else that gets the band's name out there and also potentially gets a bit of respect for heavy metal and all the rest of it....But, in addition, I think they'll just enjoy it. It's a rollicking good story."[7]

Reception Chemical Wedding was almost universally panned by critics. According to Channel 4 reviewer Ali Catterall, "The look and feel of Chemical Wedding is evidently an homage to Hammer and early 1970s Brit horror-fantasy in general: that is to say, cheap. And though aiming to titillate, the execution is so naff it might as well be renamed 'Confessions Of A Cabbalist'."[8] . On the positive side, Staci Layne Wilson of Horror.com praised the film, calling it "a mixed bag of tricks to be sure, but it's worth a look for the curio factor. (At least it's not a remake, a J-horror knock-off, or torture porn.)"[9]

Dr. Disaster

Dr. Disaster Dr. Disaster was the only canine member of British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. The dog, a vicious, mangy Lhasa Apso, toured with the band for a short stint in early 1988 while the band was promoting its experimental album Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Dr. Disaster made his brief appearances on stage when Iron Maiden performed the song "Can I Play with Madness." As soon as frontman Bruce Dickinson would sing the lyrics, "Don't need no key to unlock this door," Dr. Disaster was lowered down to the stage in a flaming steel cage. When Dickinson reached the lyrics, "And the hellfires raged in his eyes," the cage opened and Dr. Disaster would run around the stage and bite at the ankles of the bandmembers. Dr. Disaster's career with Iron Maiden was short-lived, however. During an April 3, 1988 performance at City of Manchester Stadium, Dr. Disaster caught fire. Although Dr. Disaster initially survived the blaze, he developed complications due to infection. Dr. Disaster was euthanized on July 30, 1988 and is buried in Greenacres Pet Cemetery in Lincolnshire.

Eddie the Head Eddie, whose full name is Eddie the Head, Eddie the 'Edd, or Edward the Head (also known as Edward the Great) (see below), is the mascot for the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. He is a perennial fixture in the album cover art, as well as ever present in their live shows.

Background The character Eddie was created by Derek Riggs. In the artwork to the single "Running Eddie the Head, as depicted in the cover of the "The Trooper" single. Free", a silhouette of a large, skinny zombie-like creature can be seen. When the band was looking through potential artwork for their first album, they came across the artwork by Derek Riggs that would eventually become the artwork for the self-titled album. The band hated it, and felt that it was what the silhouette actually looked like. The artwork for the second album, Killers, was also an original Riggs painting before he started creating bespoke album covers from The Number of the Beast onwards. Derek Riggs claimed - in the Maiden documentary 12 Wasted Years - that the design for Eddie the cartoon was based on what was supposedly a Japanese head [1] he saw on a television documentary, hanging on the side of a burned out Japanese tank at the Matanikau River during the Battle for Henderson Field, October 24, 1942.

498

Eddie the Head The original Eddie was just a theatrical mask. It can be seen in the band photos on the first album and on the "Running Free" single picture sleeve. It was a face right next to the band's logo. It was connected to a pump that would eject various kinds of liquids, from food dye to paint, and would drool over Doug Sampson who was the drummer at the time. Fans would also try to throw things into the mouth at gigs. The very first version of the mask was made by art student David Brown - then at East Ham Technical College. He lived next door to Dave (lights) Beazley and gave him two or three masks that he'd made. It was vacuum formed plastic, made from a plaster cast of the face of another student. By over-heating the plastic before forming the mask it created holes and blisters and looked like a "plague mask".

Name Eddie's full name is Edward The Head (Edward T.H–– the remainder of his surname is hidden by a clump of soil on the Live After Death cover.) Other plays on Eddie's name can be seen in the Video Game (based on him) Ed Hunter. The name originates from the following old joke: Eddie the head was born with no body, no arms, and no legs. All he had was a head. But despite this major birth defect, his parents still loved him very much. So on his sixteenth birthday, his parents found a doctor that could surgically give Eddie a body. When the parents got home, they couldn't wait to tell him that he could finally have a body and be like other normal people. When Eddie got there, they were really excited and said, "Have we got a surprise for you. It's the best present ever!" And Eddie said, "Oh no, not another f*****' hat!"

Other artists Melvyn Grant first drew Eddie for the sleeve of Fear of the Dark, the first time anyone other than Riggs had designed a sleeve for Iron Maiden in which Eddie was pictured. Grant also worked on the Virtual XI, Death on the Road, The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg and The Final Frontier covers. Hugh Syme did the cover for The X Factor, which was a computer-enhanced photograph of an Eddie puppet. Mark Wilkinson depicted Eddie as a bat on Live at Donington and as a Wicker Man on "The Wicker Man" single. David Patchett illustrated Eddie as The Grim Reaper on the cover of Dance of Death, but had his name removed from the credits when the band preferred to use the unfinished work instead of a more refined version. Tim Bradstreet, best known for his cover artwork for The Punisher comics, did his interpretation of Eddie on the cover of A Matter of Life and Death. McFarlane Toys released two Eddie action figures, one based on his appearance in Killers[2] and another based on "The Trooper".[3] Felipe Franco from Bogota, Colombia, was elected the winner in a competition Kerrang! ran, and his artwork was featured as the cover for the tribute album Maiden Heaven. The cover for the single El Dorado was created by Anthony Dry.

Eddie the Head

Trivia • Roman Turek, a former NHL goalie with the Calgary Flames who now plays in the Czech Republic, used Eddie as the main theme in all his masks from the different NHL teams he played with (Dallas Stars, St. Louis Blues and Calgary Flames). • Jani Hurme, a former goaltender for the Ottawa Senators and Florida Panthers who now plays in Finland, also had Eddie in Trooper guise on his mask. • Maiden bassist Steve Harris has Eddie, in Trooper guise, tattoed on his right arm. • Hugh Syme made the Eddie puppet seen on the cover of The X Factor. Since the puppet actually exists in physical form it produces a more realistic and gruesome image than the previous covers which had all been oil-paintings. • The CGI Eddie, featured in the late 90s music video "The Angel and the Gambler" as well as in the Ed Hunter computer game appears to be based on the Eddie from Piece of Mind, being bald, showing signs of lobotomy and having the restraint collar with a broken piece of chain hanging from it. This Eddie also the autopsy scar from "The X-Factor" on his chest and appears slightly more muscular than other previous Eddies. • Eddie's image from the The Trooper single cover is depicted in several Ulster Loyalist murals across Northern Ireland. • Eddie as a female, "Edwina" was created by Derek Riggs for "The Iron Maidens" Worlds only female tribute To Iron Maiden for their debut and Japanese CD release. "Eddie/Edwina" is pictured on their CD in the classic "Killers" album design that Riggs titled "L.A. Maneater". • What is presumably his son, a jester figure named Eddison, is on the cover of Bruce Dickinson's album Accident of Birth. • Eddie is the mascot for a Brazilian torcida, Força Jovem Vasco.[4]

Video games • Eddie can be unlocked as a playable character in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4. • Iron Maiden made a video game called Ed Hunter in which familiar places like "22 Acacia Avenue" are visited. Accompanied with this are a few CDs holding Iron Maiden's top 20 hits. • Eddie is referenced in the game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City by Cousin Ed in a conversation with Lazlow, who replaced Cousin Ed for his job at V-Rock. As Cousin Ed talks about how he is marginally better than Lazlow for V-Rock, he states, "Do you know who the mascot of Iron Maiden is?" Lazlow replies, "It's a puppy." And Cousin Ed replies, "It's Eddie. Get it? Eddie? Cousin Ed?" • Eddie is also seen on a poster in the window of "Rock City" in the game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City as the Raising Hell and Fear of the Dark (not the tree monster). • The Guilty Gear series character formerly known as Zato-1 is named after this Eddie. Beforehand, Eddie was only the shadowy creature that surrounded Zato-1, until the latter was overtaken by the former. • In the music video game Guitar Hero II, the player visits a venue based on a Vans Warped Tour. The encore effect - A special stage occurrence that enters when the fifth and final song in a tier is played - for this venue is that of a giant, zombie-like puppet bearing a big similarity in appearance to Eddie that appears and dronishly hangs over the entire stage. This effect is also used in Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s where the Warped Tour venue makes a re-appearance. Coincidentally, the encore that is being played with the stage effect when progressing through the "Career" mode is a cover of "Wrathchild", from Iron Maiden's second album, Killers. • Eddie (along with Iron Maiden) appears as a major non-player character in the Flash adventure game The Terrific Menace of the Invaders from Audiogalaxy [5].

Eddie the Head • In the video game Brütal Legend stars Jack Black as Eddie Riggs, a band's roadie sent back to ancient times to save humanity from demons with an axe, a magic guitar, and a posse of headbangers. The name Eddie Riggs is an homage to Eddie the Head and his creator, Derek Riggs.

Appearances - Album and single covers As a Zombie • Running Free, first official appearance of Eddie. He is shown as a tall, skinny zombie, with his face obscured by shadows, because the band did not want to unveil their mascot, until the release of their debut album, later in the year. • Iron Maiden, simple frontal shot with Eddie's mouth wide open. • Killers, Eddie wielding a bloody axe (the victim still gripping his shirt). • "Sanctuary", crouching, a knife in hand, having just murdered the then-conservative Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Margaret Thatcher. • "Women in Uniform", about to be ambushed by a submachine gun-wielding caricature of Margaret Thatcher dressed in commando fatigues, waiting for him behind a corner while he's walking in company of two girls, one dressed as a nurse, one as a hostess. • Maiden Japan, Eddie is wielding a katana. On the Venezuelan release of the EP, Eddie is holding the severed head of then-lead singer Paul Di'Anno. • "Purgatory" Eddie is smiling with half his face shown as Satan also smiling • The Number of the Beast, the devil appears to have an Eddie as a puppet, but in fact the devil is shown to be Eddie's puppet. • "Run to the Hills", wielding his iconic hatchet, doing battle with Satan. "The Number of the Beast" has the conclusion of the battle, with Eddie holding Satan's head. • Piece of Mind, displays Eddie in a straight-jacket and screaming as a result of lobotomy. This is the first album cover where Eddie has no hair. This incarnation of Eddie was killed on stage by the band on the last show of the World Piece Tour in Dortmund, Germany at the end of the song "Iron Maiden". Lead singer Bruce Dickinson pulled off the top of Eddie's head and ripped the brain out then dragged him down and assaulted him. Bass player Steve Harris kicked the mascot and guitarist Dave Murray smashed and destroyed his Fender Stratocaster and killed Eddie by stabbing him with the remains of his guitar after Dickinson assaulted Eddie. • "Flight of Icarus" holding a flamethrower and flying with Icarus falling in the background. • Maiden England and "Infinite Dreams", Eddie rides a motorcycle over the crowd while carrying the Union Jack in one hand. • No Prayer for the Dying, Eddie bursts from his grave and grabs the gravedigger by the neck (removed in the 1998 re-release) - similar to Live After Death. • "Holy Smoke", Eddie stands atop a mountain of burning televisions, all of which are playing Televangelist programmes. • "Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter", Eddie stands with a Jessica Rabbit lookalike while raising an axe with one hand. • A Real Dead One, Eddie is a zombie rocker though now very stylised. On the cover of A Real Dead One, Eddie is wearing an Iron Maiden Killers T-shirt. • A Real Live One, Eddie is a zombie ripping through electrical cables. • The X Factor, Eddie in the process of being horribly mutilated through surgery. • "Man on the Edge" a sideways view of the cover of The X Factor. • "Lord of the Flies", looks like the back of The X Factor with Eddie in a red robe and 2 giant flies at each side by him. • "Be Quick or Be Dead", on the cover of that single we can see Eddie, squeezing Robert Maxwell's head.

The Entire Population of Hackney is the name used for a project featuring members of Iron Maiden, FM and Urchin that played two concerts in 1985. It is also the name used for a bootleg recording of the first show. It is most notable for being the spark that would lead to Adrian Smith forming his ASAP project later on and ultimately his split with Iron Maiden in 1990. It is also notable for leading to the first Iron Maiden recording without the current lead singer on lead vocals.

Background At the end of the 1985 World Slavery Tour, Iron Maiden took 6 months off, when Nicko McBrain's frustration of not playing after winding down from an extensive Maiden tour and looking at a six month break, drove him to rent a rehearsal studio and invite Adrian Smith along to jam. The two invited more friends including: Dave Colwell (the one who wrote "Reach Out"), Andy Barnett[1] as well as Martin Connoly, a friend of McBrain's who also played in Marshall Fury. Both Colwell and Barnett helped write "That Girl" during this project and it was later used with FM. McBrain arranged two gigs one under the name The Entire Population of Hackney and the other under the name The Sherman Tankers. The audience recording called The Entire Population of Hackney was taken from the first show; Bruce Dickinson, Dave Murray & Steve Harris joined the band on stage only for the encores.[2] Their set includes songs from all the members and some covers from Bob Seger and ZZ Top. The result of this short break from Iron Maiden was that three of the songs featured in the setlist would be later used on two Iron Maiden singles. "Reach Out" featured on Wasted Years and "Juanita" and "That Girl" featured on Stranger in a Strange Land.[3]

Gogmagog were a British supergroup that featured former Iron Maiden members Paul Di'Anno and Clive Burr, former White Spirit and Gillan guitarist Janick Gers (himself a then future member of Iron Maiden), former Def Leppard guitarist Pete Willis, and bassist Neil Murray, who has played in over 30 bands, including Whitesnake, Black Sabbath, and John Sloman's Badlands. The band was a failed experiment by Jonathan King to form a heavy metal band and make them write a rock opera. All that was ever released of this officially was the three-song I Will Be There EP in 1985.

Possible Origin The Gogmagog was also a giant cast into the sea by an ancient Britain by the name of Corineus whose exploits were featured in the Historia Regum Britanniae (The History of The Kings of Britain) by Geoffrey of Monmouth, the book from which a great deal of the Arthurian legend is believed to have come from.

Members Kirsten Rosenberg (Bruce Chickinson) Heather Baker (Dee Murray) Courtney Cox (Adriana Smith) Wanda Ortiz (Steph Harris) Linda McDonald (Nikki McBurrain)

The Iron Maidens are an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles, California in 2001 as an all-female tribute act to English heavy metal band Iron Maiden. Hailed as "The World's Only Female Tribute to Iron Maiden", the band currently consists of vocalist Kirsten Rosenberg, guitarists Heather Baker and Courtney Cox, bassist Wanda Ortiz and drummer Linda McDonald, all of whom have adopted separate aliases to mirror their Iron Maiden counterparts – Bruce Chickinson, Dee Murray, Adriana Smith, Steph Harris and Nikki McBurrain, respectively.

The Iron Maidens

History The band was originally formed in June 2001 by vocalist Jenny Warren and bassist Melanie Sisneros, both formerly of the co-ed southern California Iron Maiden tribute band, Wrathchild. Guitarist Sara Marsh (formerly of Bandit), drummer Linda McDonald and guitarist Josephine Draven (both formerly of Phantom Blue) joined Warren and Sisneros shortly afterward to form The Iron Maidens' first lineup. In late August 2002, Sisneros performed her last show with the Maidens before leaving the band to join the Finnish power metal band Sinergy and pursue other music projects (including a Megadeth tribute band called Hangar 18, an all-female AC/DC tribute band called Whole Lotta Rosies, and an original metal band called Crescent Shield). Less than a month later, Wanda Ortiz (formerly of Rotten Rod & the Warheads) made her debut as the band's new bassist.[2] In 2003, the Maidens started work on their debut album; however, the project was delayed when Warren gave notice of her departure in November 2003 to spend more time with her autistic son, but the band did not make it public until March 2004.[3] Warren reunited with Sisneros and performed a one-off reunion show with Wrathchild shortly after her departure from the Maidens for the second Metal Jam, an annual Southern California fund-raising event for autism charities, primarily Autism Speaks (formerly Cure Autism Now!).[4] On May of that year, new vocalist Aja Kim made her debut in the band and helped complete the album, which was released in 2005. Shortly after the album's release, Draven left the band in mid-2005 to continue her career in the film/production business.[5] Death metal guitarist Elizabeth Schall (formerly of Winterthrall, currently with Dreaming Dead) joined the Maidens in 2005, but was released in October 2006 due to complications with the band and management. To help finish the Maidens' 2006 tour schedule, Michelle Meldrum - Linda McDonald's former band mate in Phantom Blue filled in as a substitute guitarist for three shows, while Eileen Nieto (of the cover band Full House) helped the Maidens close the year. Heather Baker (formerly of As Night Falls) joined the Maidens in February 2007 in time to record the band's second CD Route 666. In late June 2008, the Maidens' official website announced that Baker left the band to focus on family commitments and her band The Afterlife.[6] In July of that same year, Ms. Kim announced in her fan newsletter of her departure from the Maidens.[7] Both Ms. Kim and Baker did not tour with the Maidens in Kuwait and Iraq; instead, Deb Obarski (formerly of the Ozzy Osbourne tribute bands The Little Dolls and Diary of a Madwoman) filled in as the band's lead vocalist, while a male guitarist, Guillermo Guerrero, filled Baker's spot.[8] Guitar prodigy Courtney Cox joined the band becoming the new "Adriana Smith" in December 2008. Vocalist Kirsten Rosenberg (formerly of the Maryland-based cover band HighWire) joined the band in April 2009 becoming the new "Bruce Chickinson" with her first show in Las Vegas, NV.[9] In January 2010, Marsh, who was ill, was taken off 3 of the Japanese tour shows and did not rejoin the band. Baker rejoined the band as "Dee Murray" to temporarily fill in Marsh's spot for a handful of shows while the band searches for a replacement guitarist.[10] Japanese guitarist Satoru "Ace" Suzuki (of the band SUZAKU) also performed with the Maidens as Dee Murray on their Japan tour and select U.S. shows.[11] In April, the Maidens became a six-woman band for the first time with Baker as Dee Murray and Suzuki as Janet Gers for two shows. Boston-based Israeli guitarist Nili Brosh joined the band as "Deena Murray" for select shows in May.[12] Schall also made a guest return appearance in the band as Deena Murray for one show in June. The Maidens are slated to release a DVD of their Japan tour in mid-2010.

The band is among several tribute acts featured in the concert DVD Rock 'N Roll Swap Meet, which was filmed at the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet.

Interaction with the real Iron Maiden The Maidens have met with members of the real Iron Maiden on a number of occasions. According to an article on the July 2008 issue of Metal Hammer magazine, bassist and band founder Steve Harris and his daughter Lauren were impressed with the Maidens' live rendition of "Alexander the Great" - a song that Iron Maiden themselves had never performed live. When asked about Bruce Chickinson being his female counterpart, lead vocalist Bruce Dickinson was quoted as saying, "It's really one of those odd existential self-analysis questions. Essentially, would I fuck myself? Well the ego is willing even if the body isn't." [17]

Other projects Members of The Iron Maidens comprise other bands and projects as well: • Crabby Patty (I'm So Unclear!) - Classic metal cover band featuring Kirsten Rosenberg, Courtney Cox and Linda McDonald along with Chris Brightwell (of the Metallica tribute Damage Inc.).

Iron Maiden are a British heavy metal band, formed in 1975 by bassist and only original member Steve Harris, and since 1999, also consists of vocalist Bruce Dickinson, guitarists Dave Murray, Adrian Smith and Janick Gers, and drummer Nicko McBrain. The band has released fourteen studio albums: Iron Maiden (1980), Killers (1981), The Number of the Beast (1982), Piece of Mind (1983), Powerslave (1984), Somewhere in Time (1986), Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (1988), No Prayer for the Dying (1990), Fear of the Dark (1992), The X Factor (1995), Virtual XI (1998), Brave New World (2000), Dance of Death (2003), and A Matter of Life and Death (2006). All of the albums have been released through EMI. As one of the most commercially successful heavy metal bands of all time, Iron Maiden have sold over 100 million albums worldwide.[1] [2] After several of their albums topped the UK Albums Chart, one of their singles, "Fear of the Dark", received a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance in 1994. Seven years later, the band was nominated again in that category, with the song "The Wicker Man".[3] In 2002, they won the Ivor Novello Awards for international achievement.[4] Iron Maiden received a nomination from the Kerrang! Awards in the category Best Live Act in 2003, and were inducted into the Kerrang! Hall of Fame two years later.[5] At the 2006 Metal Storm Awards, A Matter of Life and Death was awarded the best heavy metal album of the year.[6] Iron Maiden has also received three awards from eight nominations at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards. Their mascot Eddie, who in the past was used by U.S. critics to argue that Iron Maiden were Satanists,[7] received a Golden Gods nomination in 2006, losing

to singer Cristina Scabbia;[8] but was awarded in 2008.[9] Later in 2008, Iron Maiden was nominated in the Best Live Return category at the Vodafone Live Music Awards, to which the band disagreed with their nomination and asked to be withdrawn, as they are "not quite sure where we are returning from."[10] They were replaced by the band James.[10] The band was awarded as the "Best British Live Act" at the 2009 BRIT Awards, being announced as winners by Hot Fuzz actor Nick Frost. They were not able to attend the bash, ironically due to touring duties—instead delivering an acceptance message by video link-up.[11] Their film Flight 666 won, in the category "24 Beats Per Second", at the SXSW film Festival, cellebrated in Austin, Texas, on March 2009.[12] Overall, Iron Maiden has received twelve awards from twenty nominations.

Anton Maiden

520

Anton Maiden Anton Maiden, real name Anton Gustafsson (February 24, 1980 in Kinna, Västergötland – November 1, 2003 in Borås, Västergötland) achieved Internet fame around 1999 by singing over MIDI and MOD-versions of Iron Maiden songs. He became famous as a phenomenon of geek and DIY culture. He started by publishing some songs on the Internet for a small group of friends. After being encouraged by them, he made some songs available to the public in his album Anton Gustafsson tolkar Iron Maiden, which was distributed under Lunacy and Nihilism record labels. In an interview with the Swedish newspaper Expressen (dated June 2000), he told journalist Martin Carlsson that Iron Maiden fans "think that my interpretations are a disgrace to Iron Maiden. But that was never my intent." Apparently led by feelings of depression, Anton Gustafsson committed suicide in November, 2003, and was found dead in Borås after having been missing for a week.

For the second Call to Irons tribute album, Dwell used an all American line up with mainly progressive/heavy/power bands. A lot of the bands featured on this album are now defunct and had few or any original releases. Again Steel Prophet stands out as being one of the few easily recognisable names on the album. Without detracting from the music, it's a bit of a letdown after the myriad of high calibre bands featured on the first album, but then again it's always good to see lesser known bands get a foot in with the exposure of a release like this. Track Listing 1. "Invaders" (Engrave) 3:15 2. "Gangland" (Steel Prophet) 3:52 3. "Iron Maiden" (From The Depths) 3:37 4. "Total Eclipse" (Terror) 4:19 5. "Wrathchild" (Acheron) 2:51 6. "Revelations" (Possessions) 6:06 7. "Killers" (Ion Vein) 5:18 8. "Where Eagles Dare" (Mystic Force) 6:12 9. "2 Minutes to Midnight" (Deceased) 5:45 10. "Public Enema Number One" (October 31) 3:51 11. "Sea of Madness" (Prototype) 5:52 12. "Children of the Damned" (Diesel MacHine) 4:38 13. "Sanctuary" (Abattoir) 3:10

Food for thought is an Iron Maiden Tribute album with a slightly different take on the bands music. It was released in July 2005[2] after having been worked on for two years by Swedes Henrik Johansson and Mattias Reinholdsson. It features mainly Johansson and Reinholdsson doing different genre versions of Iron Maiden songs with contributions from musician friends and aqcuaintances[3] . The intention with the tribute was to make it sound like the covers were done by a bunch of very different bands which might explain the album's left field take on some of the songs.

Maiden Heaven is a tribute album to the heavy metal band Iron Maiden that was released on 16 July 2008[4] , as a free gift with Kerrang! Issue 1219. It is described as 'our tribute to Iron Maiden, which features exclusive covers by Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold, Coheed & Cambria, Trivium, Machine Head and Dream Theater' [5] on the Kerrang! website. Between May 14 and May 26, Kerrang! ran a competition to determine the cover of their tribute CD, Maiden Heaven.[6] The entrants were told to interpret the concept in any way they wanted, and using any tools they could. The winner would receive a year's subscription to Kerrang! and their art would feature on the cover. On June 18, Felipe Franco from Bogota, Colombia was announced as the winner, and his entry (Eddie as an angel who has burst into flame, in a landscape of ash) was displayed on the Kerrang! website.[5]

Psycho Motel was a British hard rock band, formed by Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith.

History The band was formed in 1995 by Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith after he left Maiden in 1990. Adrian briefly experimented with a project going under the name of ASAP (Adrian Smith and Project) before seemingly retiring from the music business altogether in 1990. However, it was a chance meeting with Jamie Stewart, formerly bass guitarist with The Cult and Carl Dufresne that finally persuaded Smith back into the spotlight. We became friends, and decided to form a little band called The Untouchables, just for fun. He didn't want to get back in the music business full time, and neither did I - to be honest I'd had enough of it. We started off playing just little clubs for fun and it snowballed from there. We played everywhere around Britain. But the one thing that I didn't want to do was to find myself committed to recording and touring, just like the old days.

“

”

Quote from Adrian Smith, as quoted from the State of Mind cover. However, Stewart soon quit the project and was replaced by bassist Gary Leideman. In 1993 The Untouchables (featuring Adrian on vocals, Carl Dufresne, Gary Leideman and Fabio DelRio). Dufresne and DelRio soon left the band and Adrian decided to extend the line-up by bringing in singer Solli, a Norwegian who'd been working with Thin Lizzy guitarist Scott Gorham in a band called 21 Guns. A demo impressed enough for the band to land a recording deal. They changed their name to Psycho Motel and debuted with the album State of Mind in 1996, followed a year later by the second release, Welcome to the World. As far as Smith was concerned, the two records were distinct from each other:

Psycho Motel

533

They're quite different, because there are different singers on them. The first album we had a Norwegian guy called Solli who used to be with a band named 21 Guns. We did tour in Europe but he couldn't continue with us, because he had some personal stuff to take care of. He got divorced plus he lived in Norway, which is kind of difficult. So we had to find another singer. Then I found Andy, a young guy, 26 years old and we did the second album with him. He brought a more modern influence to the band. I was sort of doing a retro thing with my Hendrix and Zeppelin influences. On the first album with Solli, there was a more of a Robert Plant type vocal. The second album is more modern, because Andy was into Alice in Chains and Soundgarden so it made for a great blend. I really like the second album, although I've played the first album a couple of times and realized it's just as good.

“

”

Quote from Adrian Smith, as quoted from the Welcome to the World album cover. After the release of Welcome To The World, Adrian went to help on two albums and two tours with Bruce Dickinson which were both highly successful. After this, both Adrian and Bruce re-joined Iron Maiden in 1999 and Adrian split up Psycho Motel. When asked if he would consider re-forming the band in 2001, he said that they had "no plans at the moment" but they would "possibly do some stuff next year". This has yet to happen with his continued success with Iron Maiden. In 2006, both albums were re-released, Welcome to the World was released with two bonus tracks, "Wait" and "Just Like A Woman".

Derek Riggs Derek Riggs (born February 13, 1958 in Portsmouth, England) is a contemporary British artist best known for creating the heavy metal music band Iron Maiden's mascot, "Eddie the Head". His personal website and online portfolio can be seen at http:/ / www. derekriggs. com. A book of his artwork can also be purchased from his website shop as well as from www.amazon.com. It is entitled "Run For Cover, The Art of Derek Riggs". It also contains a more detailed biography and an entertaining account of his life and career.

Career Riggs is self-taught in his art, both in his traditional painting and in his digital work. He also attended art school, but he was Iron Maiden's Killers, featuring artwork by Derek Riggs expelled, as they "didn't know much about illustration anyway". Riggs' most famous achievement is his work with Iron Maiden and his creation of Eddie, the band's mascot and subject of their album and single covers. Eddie was originally called Electric Matthew and was featured in a painting Riggs had designed in 1978, it was a symbolization of the rebellious Punk subculture/movement of the late 1970s in the United Kingdom. Iron Maiden's management came across the painting and realised it could be adapted for their own use. They asked Riggs to add hair on the figure and the resulting picture was used on their first album cover for the debut Iron Maiden album, released in 1980. Riggs went on to work with Iron Maiden throughout the 1980s and into the 90s, creating many of the band's famous album covers; Riggs designed the cover of "The Iron Maidens: World's Only Female Tribute to Iron Maiden", the self-titled debut album by the all-female tribute band "The Iron Maidens". The piece was titled "L.A. Maneater" and featured a female version of Eddie named "Edwina T. Head." The rumor that this figure was somehow inspired by the celebrity Paris Hilton is, according to Riggs, not in any way true. He is quoted as saying "Eddie just went to Hollywood and got a sex change." He has also worked with Iron Maiden lead vocalist Bruce Dickinson for his album Accident of Birth; Stratovarius for their album Infinite; with Gamma Ray for their Power Plant album; with Artension on their 2004 album Future World; and with Gillman on their 2003 album Cuauhtemoc. and with many other bands and companies most of which are featured on his website. Contrary to rumor, Riggs is not involved in any way with the 2009 video game "Brutal Legend". However, the main character Eddie Riggs was named after Eddie the Head from Iron Maiden and Derek Riggs.

Associated acts Iron Maiden, Simple Minds

Samson was a British hard rock band formed in 1977 by guitarist and vocalist Paul Samson. They are best known for their first three albums with future Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson, then known as "Bruce Bruce", and drummer Thunderstick (real name Barry Graham), who wore a leather mask and performed on stage in a metal cage. Drummer Clive Burr was also member of the band, both before and after his tenure with Iron Maiden. Drummer Mel Gaynor also had a successful music career being a member of Simple Minds for over 20 years.

Career After the release of their debut album Survivors in 1979, they spent the rest of the year touring on support of the album.[1] In early 1980, Samson appeared as the opening act for Robin Trower's concerts, including dates at Hammersmith Odeon.[1] The tour finished at Newcastle City Hall, where days later the band opened for Rainbow, on their Down to Earth tour.[1] Here, Samson started performing for bigger audiences, but after some touring differences, they were cancelled for the rest of the dates.[1] The band's second album, Head On, was released July 1980, and peaked at #34 in the UK Albums Chart[2] The supporting tour was full of controversy and legal issues, due to problems with their management.[1] They kept writing and rehearsing for a new record. Ten songs had already been composed, by October 1980, and were ready to be recorded.[1] At the same time, the band re-issued their debut album, Survivors, now with Dickinson handling vocal duties. The tour continued until the end of the year, when Samson entered the studio to record their third album, Shock Tactics. This was the last album Dickinson recorded with the band. Samson faced an innumerable amount of problems with their management.[3] They were always being booked on ill-matched support tours. After leaving their management in 1981 they discovered that their record company was going bankrupt. Dickinson said they "made every mistake in the business".[3] His last performance with Samson was at the Reading Festival in 1981. This was recorded by the BBC and released in 1990, as the live album Live at Reading 1981. The group effectively disbanded with Paul Samson's death from cancer on 9 August 2002. Bass player Chris Aylmer died on 9 January 2007 following a battle with throat cancer. He was reported to have been responsible for suggesting the band's name. He assumed the role of bass player previously having been the band's soundman. The band appeared in a short-movie Biceps of Steel in 1980, directed by Julien Temple,[1] which was intended as the B-film to a major feature produced and promoted by the record company. The film featured two music-video type sequences which form the 15 minute film. Though it has been largely forgotten, clips from it were seen in the movie The Incubus (1981). However, in 2006, Biceps of Steel re-surfaced on Bruce Dickinson's Anthology DVD.

Country of origin United Kingdom

Sanctuary Records Group Limited was a record label based in the United Kingdom and a subsidiary of Universal Music Group.[1] Until June 2007, it was the largest independent record label in the UK and the largest independent music management company in the world.[2] It was also the world's largest independent owners of music intellectual property rights, with over 150,000 songs.[3] The company was formed in 1979 by Rod Smallwood and Andy Taylor, who had first met as undergraduates at Trinity College, Cambridge, and later organized dance events for students together. In 1979, they discovered (in a London pub) and then managed Iron Maiden. They consequently named the record company after the band's song “Sanctuary", a 1980 single later included on the reissued version of their 1980 eponymous debut album. Sanctuary Records is noted for preferring to sign artists with long-term appeal, usually the artists are those considered heritage acts, being artists that have had a long career and steady fan base. Between 1989 and 1991, Sanctuary was co-owned by the Zomba Group, whose music publishing arm still held the music of Iron Maiden in 2001.[4] In 1994, the company diversified. Amongst the new media interests included a joint venture with screenwriter and producer, Raymond Thompson, which evolved into the Cloud9 Screen Entertainment Group. Iron Maiden's back catalog was re-issued by Sanctuary in conjunction with Columbia/SME Records in the US in 2002. Kenny Rogers's 1980s back catalog (originally released on RCA Records) was re-issued by Sanctuary's Castle Music label in conjunction with Kenny Rogers' Dreamcatcher Records in the UK. The albums were only available as imports in the US. Rogers' 2003 release "Back To The Well" was released by Sanctuary in the UK. Mayan Records is an imprint of Sanctuary Records, under which Lordi's UK album The Monster Show was released. After a £110m loss in 2005 pressure from the UK financial and business leaders led to Smallwood becoming merely a general manager of the company, Taylor becoming Chief Executive and former British Airways chief executive Bob Ayling being installed as the new Chairman. On May 26, 2006, Ayling dismissed Taylor from the company over severe problems and inaccuracies in previous years' accounting. Sanctuary Group PLC shares had already become drastically reduced in value after a restructuring designed to deal with the previous year's huge loss. In late 2006, Smallwood left the company, taking with him Iron Maiden's management interests. In April 2007 Billboard Magazine reported that Sanctuary Records would cease to exist as a new release label in the US that summer, though catalog, licensing, and new media operations would continue. On October 22, 2007, the record company was absorbed by Universal Music Group. By December 2007, it appeared that the Sanctuary name had begun to be airbrushed away, with both Morrissey and Robert Plant being transferred to the Universal-owned Decca Music Group for future releases.

Sanctuary Records Group

Sanctuary and Mathew Knowles Mathew Knowles, father of Beyoncé Knowles and manager of Destiny's Child, joined the label as an executive in 2003, when Sanctuary purchased his urban music company in America. However, this move proved disastrous when records by such acts as Bizarre of D12, Ray J and De La Soul were delayed, and the main company headed towards collapse. After restructuring the main company in 2006, it was decided no more records would be released by this American Urban division, while in July of that year Sanctuary came to the agreement that it would sell the MWE talent agency back to Mr. Knowles for £2.7m.

MAMA In July 2006, it was reported that MAMA, the management group behind the Kaiser Chiefs and Franz Ferdinand and headed by Mean Fiddler chief Dean James, bid for the group. This proved unsuccessful.

Buyout On June 15, 2007 Universal Music Group announced it had reached an agreement to buy Sanctuary Records for £44.5 million.[5]

Rod Smallwood Rod Smallwood, co-manager of heavy metal band, Iron Maiden[1] and co-founder in 1976 of then Smallwood-Taylor Enterprises, today Sanctuary Group which is the world's largest music management company. The company was named after the Maiden song by the same name. His business partner is Andy Taylor, who he met when students at Trinity College, Cambridge. Prior to managing Iron Maiden, Smallwood managed Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel. The Iron Maiden b-side "Sheriff of Huddersfield" was written by Iron Maiden about Rod Smallwood, and was released on the 1986 single "Wasted Years". It likens Smallwood to the Sheriff of Nottingham, due to his notorious stinginess with money, and refers to his frequent complaining about a (then recent) move to Los Angeles. Smallwood did not know about the song until the single was released. The cover of "Space Station No. 5" (B side from the single "Be Quick or Be Dead" from "Fear of the Dark") also contains Bruce Dickinson's imitation of Rodney.

Urchin (originally Stone Free) was an English heavy metal band.

Early years It was formed in 1972 by childhood friends Dave Murray and Adrian Smith. Along with bassist John Hoye and various drummers, they learnt their first songs and entered a few local talent competitions and played their first gig's in John's school. Early in 1974 Dave decided to leave and join a 'proper' band and Adrian and John met up with guitarist Maurice Coyne who was a friend of a friend. After a jam session in John's school hall, they decided to form a band and Evil Ways was born. The next step was to audition drummers and Barry Tyler joined the band. After gigging around local pubs they decided that they needed a singer/front man and recruited Dubliner Dave Hall. By this time Evil Ways were playing regularly at most of the well known London venues and in August 1976 they were signed by Nomis/Morgan (owned by Simon Napier Bell who later managed Japan and Wham) who changed the band's name to Urchin and got them a contract with DJM Records. Their first single was going to be Without Love written by Dave Hall with Rocka Rolla (the Judas Priest song) as the B side, they were recorded in a studio in Tin Pan Alley, Denmark Street, London but were never released. Soon after, John Hoye left the band and was replaced by Alan Levett (an old school friend of Barry's).

Line-up changes The seminal NWOBHM track Black Leather Fantasy, was released on Friday 13 May 1977 and is now a collectors item. Dave Hall left the band in July 1977, followed by Maurice Coyne in January 1978. Maurice was replaced, briefly, by Dave Murray who had left Iron Maiden after an argument. Dave decided not to stay and after playing on the recording of the band's second single - She's A Roller/Long Time No Woman - he returned to Iron Maiden. Urchin carried on and recruited guitarist Andy Barnett and later keyboard player Richard (Dick) Young. However, the advent of punk rock led to the loss of their recording contract and meant that live work was drying up as their brand of hard rock was no longer fashionable. Eventually the band broke up and in early 1980 Adrian and Andy formed The Broadway Brats - a 'punkier' sounding band - with ex members of Blazer Blazer. Later that year Adrian was invited to replace guitarist Dennis Stratton in Iron Maiden and the rest, as they say, is history.

Reunions On 19 December 1985 Adrian organised a reunion of his mates and performed the live recording The Entire Population of Hackney at the Marquee Club in London along with Nicko McBrain. Later in this recording, the rest of his bandmates from Iron Maiden appear on stage. In 1989, Adrian got some of his Urchin bandmates and some friends together to form his separate project with Adrian on vocals, ASAP (Adrian Smith and Project). They produced two singles, Silver and Gold and Down the Wire and one album, Silver and Gold. They did not tour and split after Adrian left Iron Maiden in 1990. In 1992, Adrian once again got together some of the ASAP bandmates to form the band The Untouchables (Adrian once again on vocal duties) which lasted until 1994 when he decided to re-name the band and hire a lead singer. This was called Psycho Motel. In 2004, High Roller Records released limited and handnumbered to 330 copies, silver vinyl incl. 4 Single Tracks, 1 x Live + 5 (!!!) unreleased songs.
