Iron maiden (heavy metal)

Label:

Formed in London, England, in 1976, Iron Maiden from the very beginning was the brainchild of Steve Harris (born March 12, 1957, Leytonstone, London, England; bass), formerly a member of pub rockers Smiler. Named after a medieval torture device, the music was sufficiently heavy and hard on the senses. The heavy metal scene of the late jaren'70 was generally regarded as a stagnant, with only a handful of bands proof of their ability to survive and produce quality music. It was at this time that a new generation of young British band began to emerge. This movement, which began to break, which in 1979 and 1980, became known as the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, or NWOB *. M.. Iron Maiden were one of the most important bands in the genre, and many would say its final example. Younger and meaner, NWOB *. M. Groups covered in a faster, more energetic heavy metals than any of their ancestors (punk is a clear influence). There were several line-up changes in the Iron Maiden ranks in the very early days, and are releasing 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 shopping cart & Horses Pub in Stratford, East London in 1977, before the honey sound on the local pub circuit for the next two years. Can solicit a response from record labels, the band has a three-track band, Iron Maiden, Prowler and Strange World, Neal Kay, DJ north of London's hardrock disco, Kingsbury Bandwagon Soundhouse. Kay's patronage of Iron Maiden won them an instant welcome, the release of The Soundhouse Tapes on the band's own label. In November 1979 the band added second guitarist Tony Parsons to the line-up for the two tracks on the Metal For Muthas compilation, but by the time the band started the sessions for their debut album, he was replaced by Dennis Stratton ( born on November 9, 1954, London, England), and Sampson by Clive Burr (born on March 8, 1957; drums, ex Samson). A promotional single Running Free, reached number 34 on the British charts and spent an appearance on BBC Television's Top Of The Pops. Refusing to mime, they are the first band since the Who in 1973 to play live on the show. Iron Maiden was a roughly produced album, but reached number 4 in the UK album listings on the back of touring stints with Judas Priest and conductor material such as Phantom Of The Opera. Killers boast production superior to that of the first album, and saw Dennis Stratton replaced by guitarist Adrian Smith (born February 27, 1957).
