Revision as of 09:08, 18 December 2002 by Vera Cruz (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Iron Maiden is the name for a band from London, England and formed in 1976. This group is considered to be part of the Heavy Metal music and Death metal genres. Iron Maiden is led by Steve Harris (Born March 12, 1957 in Leytonstone, London, England; bass), formerly a member of the pub rockers Smiler. Iron Maiden is also the name for a medieval torture device.
There were several line-up changes in 1978, Iron Maiden ranks in the very early days, and come the release of their debut EP, the band featured Harris, Dave Murray (Born December 23, 1955 in London, England; guitar), Paul Di'Anno (Born May 17, 1959 in Chingford, London, England; vocals) and Doug Sampson (drums).
The live show was also scaled down in a return to much smaller venues. No Prayer For The Dying was indeed much more like mid-period Iron Maiden, and was predictably well-received, bringing enormous UK hit singles with "Holy Smoke" and "Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter". The latter, previously released in 1989 on the soundtrack to A Nightmare On Elm Street 5, had already been awarded the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Song that year. Nevertheless, it gave Iron Maiden their first ever UK number 1.
