Iron Maiden are an English heavy metal band from east London. The band were formed in 1975 by bassist Steve Harris, formerly a member of Gypsy's Kiss and Smiler. Iron Maiden are one of the most successful and influential bands in the heavy metal genre, having sold 80 million albums worldwide. The band won the Ivor Novello award for international achievement in 2002.
The band have headlined several major events in its career, notably Rock in Rio, Ozzfest alongside Black Sabbath, Donington's "Monsters of Rock" and "Download" Festivals and the "Reading and Leeds Festivals."
Although Iron Maiden are a heavy metal band, influenced by Thin Lizzy and Deep Purple, their earlier music had punk overtones mainly due to vocalist Paul Di'Anno and punk rock's influence on NWOBHM-era heavy metal as a whole.
Iron Maiden's mascot, Eddie, is a perennial fixture in the band's horror-influenced album cover art, as well as in live shows. Eddie was drawn by Derek Riggs until 1992, although there have been various incarnations 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.

I'm a huge Maiden fan.
Fav album would probably be either Powerslave or Fear of the Dark
Fav song I guess you could say it's Can I Play With Madness, that's the song that really got me interested in them

Funny/sad story. I made two cds to introduce my brother to Maiden. Well not introduce but get him to like them more and acknowledge some awesome songs. Took me several hours to narrow it down.

Saw them last October. Amazing live show. One of my favorite bands and the guys who got me into metal. Wonder why Hollow hasn't posted her thoughts? It's OK, you can say something negative!
