Iron maiden (heavy metal band)

Label: ,

Formed in London, England, in 1976, Iron Maiden from the outset was the brainchild of Steve Harris (born March 12, 1957, Leytonstone, London, England; bass), ex-member of the pub rockers Smiler. Appointed after a medieval torture device, the music was appropriately heavy and hard on the senses. the heavy metal scene of the late 70s was widely seen as stagnating, with only a handful of bands proving their ability to survive and produce music of quality. It was at this time that a new generation of young British bands began to emerge. This movement, which began to break cover in 1979 and 1980, was known as the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, or NWOB *. M.. Iron Maiden were one of the first bands of the genre, and many say their final example. Younger and meaner, the NWOB *. M. Bands traded on faster, more energetic heavy metal than any of its ancestors (punk is an obvious influence). There were many changes in the line-up of the Iron Maiden in the ranks too early, and reached the release of their debut EP, the band featured Harris, Dave Murray (born Dec. 23, 1958, London, England; guitar), Paul Di " Anno (born May 17, 1959, Chingford, London, England; vocals) and Doug Sampson (drums). The band made its live debut in the basket & Horses Pub, in Stratford, east London, in 1977, before honing their sound in the local pub circuit more consistently two years. It is not possible to request a response from record companies, the band sent a tape of three bands, with Iron Maiden, Prowler and Strange World, Neal Kay, a DJ north London's hard rock disco, the Kingsbury Bandwagon Soundhouse. Kay's sponsorship of the Iron Maiden won them a while welcome, which led to the launch of The Soundhouse Tapes on the band's own label. In November 1979 a band added second guitarist Tony Parsons to the line-up for two tracks on the compilation Metal For Muthas, but so far the band embarked on sessions for his debut album, he was replaced by Dennis Stratton (b. November 9, 1954, London, England), and Sampson by Clive Burr (born on March 8, 1957; drums, ex-Samson). One promotional, Running Free, reached number 34 in the UK charts and brought an appearance on BBC Television's Top Of The Pops. Recusando to mime, he became the first band since the Who in 1973 for playing live on the show.
