Produktbeschreibung

Iron Maiden are an British heavy metal band formed in 1975 by bassist and only original member Steve Harris. After several lineup changes, they settled on vocalist Paul Di'Anno, guitarist Dave Murray and drummer Doug Sampson. The band released an EP as a four piece, before hiring guitarist Dennis Stratton in 1979. Drummer Clive Burr replaced Sampson and the band released their self-titled debut album in 1980. Later that year, Stratton was replaced by guitarist Adrian Smith, due to musical and personal differences. During the tour supporting their sophomore effort, Di'Anno was fired from the band, due to excessive cocaine abuse. Vocalist Bruce Dickinson, who had just left his previous band auditioned for Iron Maiden in September 1981 and joined shortly afterwards. After the release of their "1982 masterpiece", drummer Nicko McBrain replaced Burr, who left due to personal and tour schedule problems. This is considered by many as their quintessential lineup, with which they releaseda series of high-impact works. In 1990, prior to the recordings of their eight studio album, Smith left the due to lack of enthusiasm with the musical direction it was taking.
