FYI: Bruce Dickinson is a pilot, a writer, a fencing champion, a writer and of course the greatest rock singer of the greatest rock band ever

All the guitars are shredding but listen to that bass, Steve Harris is genius. He is so percussive on those strings!

Been listening to this song for 35 years, still gives me chills.

When you put the best metal singer, the best bass player, best dual guitar and one of the finest , most underrated drummers Mr. Clive Burr. You get Iron Maiden.

On October 9, 1980, Iron Maiden played for the first time in Sweden, in Eriksdalshallen in Stockholm. And i was there. :)

Yes, that's Bruce 'Air Raid Siren' Dickenson

3 Guitars, 1 bass (Steve Harris, one of the best in the world), Nikko on drums and Bruce at lead vocal. Maiden has been a staple of metal greatness for almost 40 years! Great choice Jamel! Oh, and the mascot character is Eddie :)

Maiden was formed by bassist Steve Harris. About, '75. This is Bruce Dickinson , first album with Maiden, after Paul DiAnno exited after, Killers. DiAnno was on the first two Maiden Albums , Iron Maiden, Killers , live ep, Maiden in Japan.

You should read up on Bruce Dickinson (the lead singer). He is amazing. Not only is he the lead singer of this monster band but he is a world class Fencer and an Commercial Airline pilot. He even piloted the band around on a world tour.

Iron Maiden was formed in the late 70's but released their first album in 1980, this particular song is from their 1983 tour of Number of the beast, the singer is Bruce Dickenson who was trained as an opera singer

"Man, how long was that note?"

This singer is a Beast, even throat cancer lost against him!

Bruce Dickinson is one of the best rock vocalist of all time, no doubt!

I remember being 14 years old, living in Seoul, South Korea (my dad was in the US Army) and buying my first two heavy metal albums: Diary of a Madman by Ozzy Osbourne and The Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden. This was in 1982 & I had heard of Ozzy before, but never bought any his music prior to that time. I had no clue at that point who or what Iron Maiden was. But the album cover instantly caught my eye & I just had buy it, my decision based on the artwork alone - LOL. Needless to say, it quickly became one of my favorite metal albums. Hallowed be thy name is probably one of my top favorite songs by Iron Maiden. Bruce Dickinson's voice is legendary.

The two guitarists are equally badass, trading leads and solos often in mid-song. The bass is pretty intense too. You could be entertained just watching the bass player, he's the main song writer.

HaHaHa I love it! He just can’t help head bangin!!! Seen Maiden 36 times in 9 countries over 40yrs.

As the immortal Butthead once said, “Say what you want, but Maiden don’t screw around!”

Iron Maiden is a masterclass in metal, enough said.

Bruce Dickinson is probably one of the best singers ever Iron Maiden is the best for that decade in that era and they still are one of the best today

One of the nicest band’s I ever met. Bruce is on a whole new level of intelligence with being able to tell a mythical precautionary story in a way people go insane without knowing what is really being told to them.
