Im an old fart and i had the pleasure of having dinner with Bruce Dickinson (vocals), Steve Harris (bass player), and Adrian Smith (guitar) way back in the early 80's when i was a young teen because a friends father was a regional director for Capital/EMI Records and i just happened to be at her house when they showed up. They were still relatively new to the metal scene in the US at that time and were doing some promo work for their "Number of the Beast" album and world tour. Its a really strange feeling when you meet these "larger than life" rock stars and they turn out to be very down to earth and normal people. Bruce and Adrian even did an impromptu acoustic version of "Hallowed Be Thy Name". This is one of those memories which will stick in my brain until my dying day because it was so incredibly special for a young metal head like me at that time. \m/

I wonder if he's just naturally left handed, or ambidextrous, and never knew due to the stigma against being left-handed back then.

What really makes Iron Maiden impressive is the simple fact that they earned their success the old-fashioned way. They did not get a lot of support from radio stations, their fan base was built by fans exposing their friends to the music, and by their epic concert performances that gained them a huge following.

Absolutely. I remember a cousin introducing them to me in the mid eighties but I didn't think much of them. Then in 1987, I picked up Def Leppard's Hysteria after hearing Pour Some Sugar on Me. That was my gateway to rock music, which some 5 years later after going back to college developed into heavier music and I was reintroduced to Maiden. While they did get some airtime in the UK, it was usually only when they had a hit single in the charts. It says something, though, that their only UK number one was "Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter" and that had zero air time as the BBC banned it. Back then, if you got your single banned, it was almost a surefire way to hit No. 1.

Iron Maiden, a group of very talented musicians that have written songs that have gotten kids interested in history and literature. Many of their songs are inspired by historical events and many are inspired by pieces of literature. The Trooper, inspired by the famous Charge of the Light Brigade during the Crimean War and the poem by Lord Tennyson. Aces high is about the bravery of the RAF pilots during the Battle of Britain. The Rime of the Ancient mariner was based on the poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Two Minutes to Midnight was inspired by the doomsday clock and the pressures during the height of the cold war.

Loved Iron Maiden when I was in my teens, and it's great for workouts now. A lot of their songs take their themes from Greek and Roman mythology, Norse Eddas, and world history. Another fact about Bruce is that he worked as a commercial airline pilot, as well as flying the bands tour plane. 'Piece of Mind' probably holds the title of "favorite album" for me, which 'The Trooper' is on, as well as my favorite 'Flight of Icarus'. Eggplant/aubergine is one vegetable that I'm happy to let the raccoons, squirrels, and rabbits eat. It, and cauliflower, have virtually no taste or flavor and provide nothing to a meal except mass. Merry Christmas to the entire Jennings family and to all of Diane's fans! Sláinte! 🤘🏻🥂🥃🤘🏻

Iron Maiden was the nickname of our Deputy Head at school, long before the band. She was also Head of the Music Dept. and Choir Mistress with a lovely Mezzo Soprano voice. An LRAM and a BA amongst other letters after her name.

Amazing BBQ, live music all day, ranging from kids from the local School of Rock, right up through Nicko's IM cover band Titanium Tart. There's usually some good stuff up for charity auctions as well, for St. Jude's Children's Hospital and also for a breast cancer research group that I'm blanking on the name of.

RUN TO THE HILLS is my favorite Maiden song. I got into them during my Senior English class... We were studying the great English poets. Our teacher mentioned "The Rime of The Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. A stoner kid in the class who was doing anything except trying to pass the class... Piped up "I KNOW THAT ONE!!!" The teacher, exasperated by his interruption, asked "What do you mean you know it? He said, "The whole thing, I know it..." She said, "OK, if you know it, tell it to us right now. If you can do that, you will pass this class." He did, and he did. He graduated because of IRON MAIDEN. That isn't all though. He explained that he knew it from their song of the same name. After some back and forth the teacher had him bring all of his MAIDEN albums to school. We spent the entire following week listening to, and analyzing IM songs. The teacher, and many students, like myself, became fans. About 2 years later, I saw them live at the Monsters of Rock Tour at Donnington England. That was the best live show I have ever seen. So, there are 2 suggestions for songs for you... 😉

While hearing Iron Maiden's songs from the albums is great, watching Iron Maiden playing live takes it up to another level. Especially live shows from South America. The crowd frenzy, the crowds singing the songs, the bands interaction with the crowd, etc. First saw Maiden in 82 and became a fan. Never thought they would still be filling arenas and stadiums around the world going into 2024!

I am grateful for young people sharing their journey into rock music, thank you Diane! May I dare suggest you check out live performances? You will get a whole new perspective...maybe find live performances in Buenos Aires (usually at River Plate Stadium) for any of these bands...

I’ve seen them live there times over the past thirty years and they are a superb live band and really give you value for money. Eddie has grown over the years to become an entire on his own wandering around the stage and interacting with the band members.

Oh, you have DEFINITELY only scratched the surface of the band, excellent call! Also, excellent choice for the first song of theirs to check out, The Trooper is legendary! Songs worth listening to, without a doubt: The Clansman (the only good song with Blaze Bailey on vocals, but honestly a masterpiece) Number Of The Beast Fear Of The Dark (Rock In Rio live version) The Wicker Man Two Minutes To Midnight Aces High Bruce Dickenson is definitely the main, essentially only, lead singer. And The Iron Maiden Family is definitely not what the fan base is called LOL, the internet can be really funny sometimes. So glad you looked into these guys! And I loved how your head could not stop moving during the entire song - that's what amazing metal does to ya! 😝🤘

Bruce Dickinson is a genius and a saint. First heard them in 86 and instantly fell in love. First saw them live in 2021.

Amazing choice for the day as Iron Maiden formed on Christmas Day 1975. This discovery a few years back led to my new Christmas tradition of listening to the entire Iron Maiden catalog every Christmas since.

The band is One of a Kind in heavy metal industry. The original singer was Paul Di`anno, replaced by Dickinson for the 1982 album "The Number of the Beast", and the drummer was Clive Burr (RIP), few years ago, replaced by today`s current sticks man Nicko Mc Brain, for the 1983 album "Peace of Mind", wich this song is coming from. Aside of singing and a musical professional degree, Bruce is a trained and licended B 747 jetliner pilot, their own plane, "The Ed Force One". Stuning band, very talented and engages the audience in every live performance, as well.

@NathanHabash 5 ай бұрын

There is so much to this band, they are truly amazing. I've been listening to them for 30 years. The first singer was "Paul DiAno" the first drummer was "Clive Burr". The last album I actually like was released years ago, and was "7th son of a 7th son" everything prior to that is gold!!!! The album "powerslave" is incredible with an epic song "rhyme of the ancient mariner" an adaptation of the poem of the same name. I strongly suggest that you delve deeper into this band. "Steve Harris" is the bass player and is legendary as well, "Dave Murray" and "Adrian Smith" are probably two of the greatest guitar players of all time...anyway, hope this helps. Have a blessed day.

I like your heavy metal dance and reactions to the Iron Maiden song. 3:55 of the song is the happy joy dance. 5:36 the music conductor director finger makes the song like a symphony heavy metal song.

@thomascorbit3667 29 күн бұрын

Your reaction video was from the video that used to be on Mtv back in the '80s. If you want to experience them live, watch the "Legacy of the Beast" tour video on KZfaq. Then you can compare them from then to now and be impressed as they haven't lost a step over the decades. Thanks for reviewing a truly awesome band and one of their epic songs!👍
