By far, my favorite all time band. Withstood the test of time. Cerebral lyrics, musical arrangement and composition. Solid, musically-gifted, drama-free bandmen... and still rockin’.. Metal talent at its best. JESUS loves metalers too...
Awesome to know when rockers meet JESUS, the True Rock of Ages.
I have great respect for these men. God will save many from all spectrums before all is said and done. God is an Awesome God.
Excellent!!!
During the era of hair metal, I would sit my little brother down to listen to Iron Maiden. Listen to these lyrics I would tell him. Every song was a story from literature, or mythology, or history. I loved it. When I came home on leave from the Army I discovered that all my Maiden cassettes had found their way into my brother’s room.
Rime of the Ancient Mariner is a favorite, Where Eagles Dare, Alexander the Great. Man there are too many to choose from.
40+ replies and not 1 mention of Steve Harris, Wow. SMH
Well, when HE is interviewed about his conversion to Christianity...
That’s actually pretty awesome, I hadn’t seen that until now.
If I recall correctly, Randy Rhodes played for Maiden way, way back. He was incredible. A great loss to the music world.
Great interview! I’ve been a Maiden fan since high school. I think they even helped get me through high school. I always enjoy it when a band tells stories with their songs, and Maiden does that so well.
I saw “The Girl who was Death” in 1973 and was hooked, although I didn’t find the rest until much later. It was late-80s before I heard of Maiden.
Randy never played for Maiden.
