I can see Bruce Dickinson when he completely retires from Iron Maiden either being a schoolteacher (if the classics are still taught in England at that time) or as a tourguide through old battlefields in Belgium and France. He would be doing it strictly for fun.

No, Maiden doesn’t do too many radio or TV-friendly songs.

I heard “Aces High” on a New Jersey radio station once and I was (pleasantly) surprised. Honestly, I’d rather hear them than most of the garbage that’s out there- but I’m a complete history nerd. :)

The Billboard number 1 song the day I was born is still a favorite.

The Animals - House Of The Rising Sun

I rolled with the metalheads. They worshiped the ground Maiden walked on. I personally never saw the appeal of the music.

Dickinson sounds like one hell of a cool cat, though.

I was just never an Iron Maiden fan like I was never a Kiss fan.

To be honest, the only metal album I really loved was “Master of Puppets”. Otherwise, I was total poser. I just liked having long hair.

Michael Kiske of Helloween fame still has an incredible voice.

He started up Unisonic, which also has Kai Hansen playing guitar. It’s sort of a power metal dream team back together.

IM has a lot more, they actually sing understandable lyrics and a lot of it is about significant historical events.

Me to until I got older and started appreciating more of the Musical aspects of the old metal. I just like the long blonde hair.

I think Steve Harris once said something like ‘we are the masters of the 9 minute good song.’

Anyhow, a great band that has long ago cemented their place in rock n roll.

I think there are probably a lot of guys that have picked up books or read poems because of maiden songs. Pretty cool.

There’s thousands of bands today that cite them as direct influences.
