Iron Maiden, however, has never fit the accepted mold, nor followed the rules. And with its brilliant new “road movie” “Flight 666,” the band shows no sign of doing so — now or ever.

Oh, yes, there are some universal rules that even the "original" metal bands follow...that all bands follow...

They weren’t original. Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin came first.

As for what they had to do with the invention of “thrash,” Queen is usually credited with the first song of the genre. And what is thrash but “Paranoid” played faster with louder yelling, anyway?
