Before Taylor Swift was even born, Iron Maiden had already established itself as one of the most popular heavy metal bands of all time.

They were firmly established as arena headliners by that time, and they remain capable of selling out large venues across the w...

Afterwards, when they took their d...

On Oct. 26, 1981, Bruce Dickinson played his very first show as the new frontman for Iron Maiden. The setlist featured 17 songs, including a cover, as fans in Bologna, Italy witnessed a historic night of heavy metal. A range of factors contributed to the dismissal of Paul Di’Anno, whose street-ready voice graced Iron Maiden’s classic first pair of records.
