One of the things I love most about Iron Maiden, is not only are they AMAZING musicians, but they are even better people!

[@mathewstovell5167]

Iron Maiden and Queen are the two greatest bands of all time.

[@charleysonnydickinsonvuori7833]

So true! And my 2 favourite bands ever!

[@wolfgangmarkusgstrein8522]

Yes Sir!

[@alsmuland3023]

I agree also. Met the band on World Piece Tour. Great bunch of guys! Alas, never saw Freddy live except for Live Aid. My biggest regret in life as Queen was in Vancouver many times. Metallica although great shows, failed in comparison to Maiden. AC/DC also great, but not the same level of entertainment as Maiden.

[@3642130]

Maiden has always been intelligent metal, they were never loud for the sake of being loud, or obnoxious. The MAIN band to make good historical references in their music.

[@pakanasielu]

I've been a fan since 1978. One thing that sets Maiden apart from their peers - and this is as true NOW as it was back then - Maiden has NEVER degraded or objectified WOMEN with their music, videos or otherwise. Back in the early 80's, seeing women at metal gigs was a rarity and I was one of those rarities. I remember not being able to see another woman as far as I could see around me. Maiden has NEVER had to rely on SEX and exploiting women to sell records. And they were about the ONLY band back then who could say that! Their TALENT sold them and still does!

[@maiden2314]

Great cover/report CNN! Now mainstream society knows what we've known since whenever you and I became a (Iron) Maiden fan; the band has continued playing through departures (band-mates return), family responsibilities and years of grinding out albums by being consummate professionals. Having an alcohol free plane ride is a good policy for other touring bands! God bless music legends Iron Maiden and their management team.

[@russelladams9147]

Hedinism...talk about a disconnect. This is pure showmanship...with a history lesson.....

[@1969ryson]

Its amazing that Maiden isn't as big in the states as they are pretty much everywhere else I the world. You see them headline Rock in Rio where there are 500,000 plus people and then I go and see them just outside Chicago to barely 10,000 people and they weren't sold out and Bruce said it was the biggest crowd they had played to in the area for quite a few years. This was just a few years ago and they rocked as hard as they did the first time I saw them in 1984 on the powerslave tour. They are to me HeavyMetal GODS!!!!! I know that the end is coming sooner than later, but ou still don't want to admit it.All I can say is UP THE IRONS AROUND THE WORLD!!!!!

[@Bradgilliswhammyman]

IM most popular time in the USA was in the early 90s wen they were touring with Metallica and Megadeth. Music scene in USA is very muched changed since those days.

[@JohnTC9]

Chris J Sadly metal is not as big in the US but there are plenty fans throughout the US. I also think the reason they draw more people in Latin America in a single show is because they play 1 show in each country (exceptions Brazil 3 to 5 shows & Mexico 2 to 3 shows). So Maiden fans in these country's & also surrounding countries with no Maiden shows converge on these shows that is held in a big stadium or big open area. Here in the US they perform up to 20 to 25 shows throughout the US in 1 tour. If Iron Maiden did 4 or 5 shows in the US each in a stadium or big open area you would see bigger crowds since fans would be all converging to their closest show.

[@Hallowed82]

Wrong. Their peak was 1983 to 1987 in the States. They stated to lose fans starting at the 7th Son tour in both the US and Canada. They never toured with Metallica or Megadeth then.

[@hairlokk8672]

Nah, its just that US is so damn mainstream its fucking lethal. Every country in the world they sell out with no problem. Take sweden, less ppl then NY but still sells out atleast 2 50k+ stadiums every year. Usually takes like 5min at most to for tickets to be sold out. Its just so much crap music in the US these days. Only good music last ten years is like Foo Fighters and Greta van Fleet

[@thomasedmundrichards]

They’re too subtle for Americans

[@Pantherking916]

Isn't it so refreshing to enjoy something real that has genuine substance and comes from the heart. Maiden succeed because they have ALWAYS been about the music and nothing else. There has never been any pretence or gimmicks or jumping on the bandwagon of what's hot at the moment. It's real and THAT, boys & girls, is why Maiden will always be one of the best bands in the world.

Been a huge fan of Maiden since 1980. If there was 1 person in the world of music that I could hang out with for an hour or two, it would be Nicko. Know he gave up drinking, but he seems like the kind of guy that you could hang out with at the local bar, and just laugh your ass off listening to his stories. Just seems like an average guy who happens to be in one of the biggest bands in the world.

Im 52 and I have got to say I have been able to influence the millenial generation with all that maiden has to offer and its all colors and all different musical tastes. Its simple ask them" Do you know any musical group or solo artist who's sold 150 million records without any media promotional help ( radio mtv vh1 etc)?" they wont have the answer until you give it to them IRON FUCKING MAIDEN and share you passion about the music with them. Id listen to Phantom of the Opera before any military mission I was to embark on and shared this later on in life with my eldest son when he was 7 or 8 later 2003 he joins the army goes to iraq and he listen ed to the same song for the same reasons i did but he listened to the cut from live after death album

For your information guys - "Blood brothers" isn't a song aimed at the connection between the fans and the band.
