ABOUT IRON MAIDEN:
Iron Maiden are an institution. Over the course of six decades they have come to embody a spirit of fearless creative independence, ferocious dedication to their fans, and a cheerful indifference to their critics that’s won them a following that spans every culture, generation, and time-zone. A story of gritty determination and courageous defiance of the naysayers, theirs has been an adventure like no other.
The band’s immense discography includes the studio albums ‘The Number Of The Beast’, ‘Piece Of Mind’, ‘Powerslave, ‘Somewhere In Time’, ‘Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son’, ‘Fear Of The Dark’, ‘The Final Frontier’ and ‘The Book Of Souls’ which have spawned many classic hits as ‘The Trooper’, ‘Wasted Years’, ‘Hallowed Be Thy Name’, ‘Wasting Love’, ‘Run To The Hills’, ‘Aces High’, ‘Rime Of The Ancient Mariner’ and ‘2 Minutes to Midnight’.

In just three days, a task force left the British Isles to sail south to liberate the Falklands. The first elements of a mighty armada was cheered out of Portsmouth Harbour. Union Flags, shouted, cheered, and hung out hastily-crafted banners. I'd say our British Forces are always ready, along with those we call allies and friends. The US didn't believe we could do it and Russia knew we could. The US, who are supposed to be our 'friend' had no confidence in us but a country we are not 'friends' with did have confidence we would succeed.

@@sallyphilpin4939 Maiden is a Shamanic band that you are totally incapable of understanding. Eye can put up endless Maiden and Metal tunes asking what the songs mean, and eye guarantee you would not be able to answer one of them. Let's begin with Iron Maiden's song titled "The Red and the Black". You can listen to that tune every day for the rest of your life and you'll still have absolutely no clue what it means. As it's far too deep for your blind ego-mind to understand. There are infinite good reasons why the word "Shaman" is in the intro to the first track on that 2015 album. As Terence Mckenna so wisely stated - "Only the Shaman knows that culture is a game, everyone else takes it seriously, that's how the Shaman can do his magic."

One of the most amazing things about this video? Every single one of the members you see here are still in the band. A VERY rare thing. I don't know of any band from the 70s/80's who still has their full classic/best lineup in place, not to mention, STILL putting out kick ass new music and selling out stadiums world-wide. No other band that I can think of can boast that.

True, Rush can be added to that list. Point being, it is a very select and distinguished list. The point I was making is specific putting out new music that is still resonating, with the same crew. That removes ZZ Top and given the recent retirement of Peart, leaves Maiden as one of the only groups from the 70's/80's, still in tact, and still putting out new music that charts and sells along with selling out arena's.

My history of rock & roll class teacher played this in class. He put in a DVD full of Maiden music videos and he chose this one, one of my favorite songs. I nearly jizzed myself in front of the class, and couldn't stop myself from headbanging and singing the lyrics.

[@Torturephile]

Walamonga 1313, at Citrus College. By the way, hate to break it to you all, but he isn't really an awesome teacher, he just teaches an awesome subject. He tends to be dickish and a smartass at times with students and will put them down for mistakes while other teachers are more understanding or even care for their students. I tried to make conversations with him but he comes off as weird, and once suggested to me that my absence in one of his classes wasn't anything of value lost. He even made fun of my friend for playing an ukulele with only one hand, calling him lazy, until my friend told him he suffered a stroke at seven and can't use his left hand at all.

Churchill: We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, We shall fight on the seas and oceans, We shall fight with GROWING confidence and GROWING strength in the air. We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, We shall fight in the fields and in the streets. We shall fight in the hills, We shall never surrender.

Not really. As much as I hate to admit it, metal is almost dead at this point. All that's left is shitty pop and hip-hop which unfortunately garners all attention these days.

[@adama4791]

Rishabh Vailaya I reject your fatalism. Ask yourself, why do we still listen to this song that is 35 years old? Why do we still listen to Sabbath songs that are approaching 50 years old? Why do these songs have the staying power of half a century now? Because this is substantive music. I read an article recently about Ariana Grandes shitty performance at Coachella. Yeah I wonder why she might lack care for music when music is no more than a stunt for fame for her with music written by other people. For these bands music is what they love. Music is their way of expression and we connect to that expression. I went to a Zakk Sabbath concert (Zakk Wylde’s Black Sabbath tribute band) and there were people ranging in age from teenagers to people in their late 50s early 60s. Go ahead and find that in modern pop and tell me that their music will survive.

[@V-for-Vendetta01]

@@adama4791 what exactly is your point here? I stated the truth. Iron maiden will not recieve as much of an applause as ariana grande will these days (taking into account all people, not just metalheads) and that's a fact. Whether you like it or not.

Lyrics There goes the siren that warns of the air raid Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne Got to get up for the coming attack. Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines Remove all the wheelblocks theres no time to waste Gathering speed as we head down the runway Gotta get airborne before it's too late Running, scrambling, flying Rolling, turning, diving, going in again Running, scrambling, flying Rolling, turning, diving Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die Won't you run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high. Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers Let off a sharp burst and then turn away Roll over, spin round to come in behind them Move to their blindsides and firing again Bandits at 8 o'clock move in behind us Ten ME-109's out of the sun Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them Heading straight for them I press down my guns. Rolling, turning, diving Rolling, turning, diving (doing it again) Rolling, turning, diving Rolling, turning, diving Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die Won't you run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high
