Formed in London, England, in 1976, Iron Maiden was from
the start the brainchild of Steve Harris (b. 12 March 1957,
Leytonstone, London, England; bass), formerly a member of
pub rockers Smiler. Named after a medieval torture device,
the music was suitably heavy and hard on the senses.
The heavy metal scene of the late 70s was widely regarded
as stagnant, with only a handful of bands proving their
ability to survive and produce music of quality. It was at
this time that a new breed 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 N.W.O.B.*.M.. Iron Maiden were one of the foremost bands
in the genre, and many would say its definitive example.

------ About the song Infinite Dreams performed by Iron Maiden
Songwriting at its finest! Great lyrics and music.. Eddie's voice is the finest in metal. Notice how his voice sounds very like the record in their old concerts? How i wish more bands can come up with very inspired music and lyrics like this!!

You can never know what's in someone's heart. I am a Christian look, the way I look at it is, you can't prove someone is a satanist or anything and you can't prove that they're not that its whats in the heart not whats in the eyeball that counts. I agree with you, I think that the world is too intricate for evolution to happen. Check out these 2 websites timjim and you will find the awesome truth:
Here's the first one.
www.godscare.net/witness/Iron%20Maiden.htm
On your nexxt review you'll probably denounce Nicko Mcbrain for continuing to play this song:
www.canada.com/topics/entertainment/story.html?id=41753537-c41f-4f04-9c43-99def58956ef&k=3874
Or just search up "is nicko mcbrain a christian" on google they're one of the first 2 pages you'll find. As Nicko Mcbrain says in the 2nd interview "To still be able to be in such a great band, where people think we're demonic or Satanic, most people that know and have a modicum of sense and intelligence knows that not to be true. It doesn't take an Einstein to listen to the records and listen to the lyrics of the songs to know what's going on." I'm also the reviewer who reviewed before on 10/23. Alice Cooper is a born again Christian and he said he's been talking to the rockers about Jesus "I've had a couple of people that were friends of mine that I've talked to that have vocally said they have [accepted Christ]. I have talked to some big stars about this, some really horrific characters, ... and you'd be surprised. The ones that you would think are the furthest gone are the ones that are apt to listen."

Timjim Iron Maiden's drummer Nicko Mcbrain is a born again christian but he still plays this song in concert he says the biggest trick the devil ever played on him was to make him believe he didn't exist so its kind of a warning against satanism.
Amazing and intelligent song | Reviewer: Christovski
------ About the song Brighter Than a Thousand Suns performed by Iron Maiden
This has to be one of the single most intelligent songs I have heard about the stupidity of mankind, marrying both religion, war and science. The genius behind lies within the connection to one man; J. Robert Oppenheimer. He is known as the father of the atomic bomb and was a serious American political power. The title is derived from the Bhagavad Gita (a Hindu Scripture): "If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one" and after witnessing the test of a bomb, a second line from the scripture popped into his twisted mind "I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
The first nuclear weapons test (which involved an implosion design plutonium bomb)was known as "Trinity," hence the line "Unholy union, trinity reformed"
E=MC squared was the equation used in order to predict the amount of energy and explosive yield of the bombs.
The verses are very selfexplainitory, and I'm sure by reading them you will agree that this song paints a very good picture of what we have done. We are not the sons of God indeed, for how could we be if we made and used a weapon that has potential to destroy the earth and all of its denziens.
I just cant get these lyrics out of my head... like 90% of Iron Maidens songs, lol
But their war epics are among the best and this is no different

It's funny...Everything has tried to kill metal, everything has claimed to kill metal, but Metal lives on, I fail to see where Metal is dying, And as for the girl who was saying all that....I quite honestly think she was joking, she was the ninja who plants an insult and watches the others babble over it as if it was serious. Anyway, as for the song, it's my favorite Iron Maiden song, Dance of Death was a bit of a disappointment but what band doesn't have one of those slumps. Great song, great band, and long live the Metal!

------ About the song The Number of the Beast performed by Iron Maiden
I listen to classic rock. I listen to heavy metal. I listen to grindcore and black metal. I also listen to reggae, ska, and alt/punk. Who the fuck cares if the song is satanic, god-praising, or neutral in both categories? Why can't everyone see that NOONE CARES WHAT RELIGION YOU ARE, SO YOU SHOULDNT BITCH ABOUT IF IT OFFENDS YOU OR NOT. The people who complain about the lyrics of the song for being pointed at a certain group should either listen to the other components of the music like the composers intended, or stop fucking listening to it, so we dont have to hear you whine on the internet about it.
Jesus.
If God loves me unconditionally (like he does) will He stop if I like this song and other "satanic" music? That just doesn't make sense. If you don't listen to this music because of how it sounds then that is fair. If you don't listen to it because you think you are going to go to hell then you need to rethink things.
About the song now. I couldn't care less about the lyrics but all of the musicians are extremely talented and absolutely love the guitar in this song.
So if I'm not going to heaven because I listen to this song then I'll go to hell. Oh and if whether you are Christian enough or not is based on what music you like then I'm going to convert.
i am an atheist...that means i denounce both god and satan...and i believe that god and satan are simply personifications of good and evil...maiden uses this to bring forth their ideas...no one has the right to judge whether someone is a christian or not because spirituality is essentially a personal experience...so let's just enjoy the music and stop the stereotyping...
people please forgive me for writing on and on about religion but this point clearly deserves some clarification...
everyone has the right to speak his or her mind but think about it timjim...you are filled with fury towards satan...is that not a sin?Jesus must have been a wonnderful person but the bible is adulterated...it was not written by god, not by jesus but by some of his followers...how much of the original writing is preserved remains questionable...you say that Darwin's theory of Evolution is a fairy tale...then how can you conclude that the war and peril in the world today are signs of Judgment day the bible being the only evidence you have? i request you to take a better look at history and science...be open minded...set aside your emotions and think rationally...i do not denounce good and bad...just look beyond the words 'god' and 'satan'...may you find enlightenment!!
ps-'enlightenment'=iluminati...another simple word that the church has cunningly twisted...it seems to simply 'see' the truth...the word 'vision' and 'wisdom' stem from the Latin and Greek words 'video'(to see) and 'idea'...all from the Sanskrit word 'vidya', which means 'to see the truth...
so, may you see the truth!!!

------ About the song The Number of the Beast performed by Iron Maiden
I know this site is about rating this song. I havent checked back on this site for a while and was somewhat supprised to see people still pondering my incites. I will say to the atheists, it takes far more faith to believe the fairy tale that we came from monkey's then to think that there is not someone who placed us here. A lot of people say, "well if there is a God then way is there so much trouble in the world." Thats a good question that is because the prince of this world(the devil)has come and is about ready to rule as the antichrist in this new world government. But here is the thing people think that the antichrist is going to claim to be satan, No he's not, the Bible says that he is going to claim to be God and that he is going to be a man of lawlessness. The devil is very deceptive why would he claim to be Satan,if 75% of Americans claim to be Christians. So to all of you who claim to be Christians and have filthy language, and have very few morals, you are just preparing to worship the antichrist. And as far as catholics are concerned, they believe the heresey that you can pray to mary, and they still go to the priest to confess there sins, when Jesus gave his life so we could go directly to Him. It is no wonder some belive there is no God, Christianity has become so confusing because people have strayed from the Bible and followed there own lusts trying to bring Christ with it. But that will never happen because He is holy.
The original Greek word for witchcraft or sorcery is "pharmakeia," pharmakeia=pharmacy=drugs. Mind altering drugs is what these rockers use to alter their state of consciecness and be influenced by the demonic spirit world. A lot of these groups I believe are sponsored by the Illuminati a secret organization trying to bring this new world order. They have witches in these secret societies and they also use drugs to help give them spirit guides. Most of these people don't beleive in Satan either, some of them believe in Lucifer ( who is acctualy Satan) or some mother God of some sort. I believe that all these presidents are just puppets runned by the illuminati. So if you think George Bush is a Christian and that's why he messed this world up, think again, that's what they want you to believe. George Bush is a member of Skull and Bones, a branch of the Illuminati. I believe almost everything that has happend 9-ll,iraq,afganistan,etc was conspired to happen. Revelation 18:23...for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. Sound confusing, that is exactly what it is. There is only one way and that is through Jesus Christ and Satan will counterfeit himself to any other religion to keep you off that one way. Soon I belive the world will agree that they are all serving the same god and form a new world religion. Who will be the only ones standing in their way, that they will have to get rid of first, The fundamental(true) Christians. We are living in the very last days people, please turn to the true God before it's too late. Go to utube and watch the series, "They Sold Their Souls For Rock n Roll."

------ About the song Rainmaker performed by Iron Maiden
The first time I listened to this album I was driving and after the first song, this one comes on, and I go "wait a minute... WOW" and played it like 3 times. I love the lyrics and overall mood they set. Although I wish there were more of them, it kinda repeats. Hell for that mater, I would love it if this song was like 7 minutes like Blood Brothers and The Nomad (2 of my other favorites). All in all one of my top favorite Maiden songs.
As for the "emo" girl, she, if she is a she, is straight up trolling (look it up). So ignore it and worry more about the song, you're only feeding the troll and it's ambitions.
Don't hate on the Emo bands to much either, cause a lot of the Screamo bands draw their roots from Metal, and often support the bands. For example in a picture of one of the bands (which I can't remember) one of the members was wearing a "Number of the beast" Album shirt.
and let me reiterate, GOOD FUCKING SONG

I'm a Christian, and I don't believe God is making us follow strict laws/rules.
Also, this song makes a reference to the beast and everything, and that makes it evil? The Bible has references to demons and everything. That doesn't mean it's evil.

Timjim how does playing guitar make someone open minded? And the fact that you think that all rock music is satanic means that no, you aren't open minded. Condemning a genre of music doesn't make you a good Christian, it makes you close minded and judgmental. And it's not rock guitar it's electric guitar.
Off course, I'm an Atheist (Like any person with an IQ above room temperature), and I don't believe in neither God nor Satan. but the best way to piss off stupid catholics is to troll them with satanic chants. So, here goes my congratulations for one of the better classics of metal of all times.

------ About artist/band Iron Maiden
During the formative years of Iron Maiden, I completely missed them, following progressive rock bands like Yes instead. In the last 10 years I got interested in European metal bands like Stratovarius, Edguy, Nightwish and Sonata Arctica before I realized Iron Maiden and Judas Priest were the foundation of all their sounds. I am now really enjoying I.M.'s whole catalog. Long live Iron Maiden!

------ About the song Alexander The Great performed by Iron Maiden
Just so we get things straight
When the song says Macedonia it reffers to the Greek State, not the so called FYROM.
Alexander has been called Great through the ages not just because of his tactical and strategic war achievements but because he was the one who ended a long-lasting war between the Greek Kingdoms and Persians and finally took over all of Persia up to the river Tigris. He truly united the Greek Kingdoms for the first time and created Hellas (Graecia in Latin).
Trivial info: Alexander means Strong man in ancient Greek.
