How can he not like flight of icarus? It’s a masterpiece.
Absolutely, it’s one of my favourites to play live.
I have ICARUS on my car & motorcycle plates.
It’s literally my favourite on Piece Of Mind
Best song on the album.
I have ICARUS on my car & motorcycle plates.
Should be titled, " 10 things any real Iron Maiden fan has known for years".
10 things the general public should know about IRON MAIDEN!
Exactly...knew all 10 lol!
Pretty much mate
It's always like that. 🤔
Ya exactly; the tag lines says that “even if you obsess”, while I don’t obsess, I’d say that I’m a little more than a casual fan, but even I knew 8 out of 10 of these. (Not sure I recall the drum puppet story or the actual name of the 666 quoter) If you’ve just watched any 1 of the 100s of documentaries, it’s pretty common knowledge. It really should be titled, “any real fan”, or maybe even the “general metal fan should know”.
The best band in the land. I've seen them 11 times now and they've NEVER disappointed. Rumour has it that they have a new studio album coming out soon. Up the Irons from Canada
I been seeing them since No Prayer and I swear they get better as they get older!!
I should add tho that they're doing a lot less shows per tour; they're not stretching themselves so thin anymore
seen them 19 times and im only 28 first time seeing them i was 4 year old
@@ryananthony4840 Bet you didn't see them in The Cart & Horses pub in Stratford East London back in 1976, like I did😊😎 boom💥
while recording 'Number Of The Beast,' their Producer got into a Car Wreck, and the Repair Bill was £666 😁 😁
He crashed into a bus of nuns
That was unfortunate. But also great for a pun.
I mean 666 dollars. He bargained with the beast.
Universal synchronicity research that! Where the term speak of the devil same from. Something to think about
The quote number was 666, not the repair bill, accident was with a bus that had 6 nuns in it..true story
@@henrydouberly3950 true. They were on an 'outing' they weren't meant to be on! You know this already Mark. You know every damn thing!!!
Number 11.
Steve Harris actually has stripes tattooed on his legs. It's not lycra.
My mate introduced me to maiden back in 1982 and I was a fan instantly number 1 metal band of all time
Greatest Heavy Metal Band.
agree
Eddie was with the band as a mask behind them that spat blood and was called edd the head.
Also, the first album cover was titled "Electric Matthew Says Hello" and was painted independently of the album. Derek noted that the band liked the image but asked him to add more hair so it would look less punk, which he did. Riggs' signature at the time, a stylized 'DR' appears on a brick behind the figure and had first appeared only recently on the cover of Budgie's 'Nightflight' album, which features a similar yellow and greenish color scheme. Riggs stopped painting Eddies after No Prayer For The Dying as he said he was just burnt out from it, though the spectral Eddie on the Brave New World album is his. The city below was added after Riggs walked away from the unfinished painting due to a dispute as to how to render the lower half, which was completed by Steve Stone. The cover of "Run For Cover: The Art Of Derek Riggs" by Martin Popoff (the source for my information) was painted by RIggs and has not been used by the band. Derek Riggs continues to work as an illustrator, usually in digital media.
@@catjudo1 Derek Riggs did not stop drawing Eddies because he was burnt out.
It's common knowledge he was shafted by Maiden management, all over money etc, as what always happens in life.
@@Al_Bundy_1966 Maybe so. I have the Martin Popoff book but it's been a while since I read it. I remember that he got fed up with drawing Eddies and with Maiden's management, and that he ended up taking time off at some point because the years of working with the paints had basically poisoned him. You're probably right though. Haven't liked any of the Eddies done since he stopped either.
And it came from a joke about a kid who doesnt have any limbs just a head. East end acdent 'ed goes to Eddie. So this guy growned up and on his 10th birthday the doctors can grow him limbs arms legs torso etc. The parents says "Happy birthday" to Eddie the head. "Today we giving you a special present" Eddie replies: "Oh no another goddamn hat..."
ben ingle *eddie the ‘ed
Metallica sold out years ago, Iron Maiden will always be the greatest band they are way bigger than Metallica Iron Maiden rocks
Franky Boo Arthurs they influenced metallica so yeah
True AND Iron Maiden transmorphed into a bunch of Happy Hippie Hopping Bunnies WATCH THEM LIVE NOWADAYS and You'll know just what I mean !
@@attilaevil Yeah, they have fun on stage and put on a fantastic show 4 decades into their careers.
Absolutely true.
Maiden gives a shit about the fans and us fans give a shit about them.
That's why they don't need to appeal to mainstream audience, because as long as there's air in my lungs I will support this band, and I think I speak for every fan.
Absolutely Metallica Sucks compared to Maiden Forever
The new album senjutsu is absolutely amazing . This is after Bruce's cancer treatment and recovery. I am grateful for his return and he and the rest of the band have not missed a beat. Yes, they still are the greatest of all time.
Bruce Dickinson's pants > anything you own
Buce Dickinson puts his pants on like everyone; one leg at a time....
But when he's put his pants on, he makes gold records!
Anything you own in spandex, at least in the 80's.
Most of this stuff is talked about in Bruce's book "What does this button do "!
Very good book!
I loved his book. It was great
Interesting title
I love nicko he’s one of my faves. Seems like such a fun guy
plus he is the best drummer ever
oh yeah "i know two beats" guy is the best drummer ever
@@maidenmovies You know he was Clive Burr's roadie, right?
@@swn69 Clive was one of the best drummers on the planet… But Nicko put Maiden on the higher level… More dynamic, jazzy, artistic, inspirative… You must be a fan from the old days, am I right?
Ghoul Hellbilly wow!! So now we all know you know NOTHING about drums!!
Funnily enough I also discovered Iron Maiden through video games. In my case it started on the soundtrack to GTA Vice City with 2 Minutes to Midnight on the V-Rock radio station then, like you, The Number of the Beast on THPS4. I loved that game and it was amazing how are you could skate as Eddie or Jango Fett complete with fully functioning jet pack. Good memories from those days, cheers!
Really?... You can easily know most of these info just by watching Maiden History part one... But I'll give you the Tony Hawk shit, I honestly didn't know...
Next top 10 facts: judas priest
Point of Entry exists. that’s enough of a little known fact to the general public
Stephen Docherty still more manlier than you
Stephen Docherty hahhahahahahahhh
Pretty cool you discovered Iron Maiden in that skate game. I was very lucky to see them in 1981 when they opened for Judas Priest in Las Vegas. Paul Di'Anno was the signer at the time. First time Maiden played in the States. Thanks for your video, it brings back good memories for an old metalhead.
I knew a guy that had a t-shirt autographed by that lineup but wouldn't sell it to me.... And he wasn't particularly a fan, it was actually signed "to Vicky" his ex girlfriend 😕😕
There was nothing wrong with Blaze Bailey, he has an amazing voice- it just wasn't the same
True. He's good singer. He sing songs, Bruce takes you to a journey.
Have loved Blaze for a long time. His vocal is great. His wolfsbane work is really good and his solo stuff recently has been epic.
X Factor is a top 5 Maiden album for me, up there with Powerslave and Seventh Son.
@@chaosapiant it’s a misunderstood masterpiece
I lived Blaze. That was rocky time for Maidenfor a lot of reasons. IMO, the dip had more to do with changes in pop culture around rock and metal. They had to fix their footing on the new ground. X-Factor is fantastic, and I like Virtual IX well enough.
1982-1988. Iron Maiden owned THE WORLD!!!
Noice, Iron Maiden is my favorite heavy metal band. I play bass and Steve Harris is my favorite bassist aside from other bassists such as Jaco Pastorius, Bootsy Collins, and others. Iron Maiden is awesome. Other than that, cool and UP THE IRONS🤘🏾🔥!!!!!!!!!!:).
Additional Blaze songs are: Blood Brothers and No More Lies
Man, Steve wrote Blood Brothers in honor of his dad!!!
@@garynewcomb8649 The writing credits on the album go to Blaze and Steve, so it's technically a Blaze song.
Sorry but the first one on the list was wrong eddy first was a head that spat blood
We meant on artwork. Should've specified!
Metallica a bigger band? Really? Why not compare them with Taylor Swift or whatever if you decided to compare real music with manufactured marketing products from US. Ridiculous...
I don't hate Metallica....they are legendary band....but when it's comes lron Maiden.... only I can say that all hail Iron Maiden....\m/
I love Metallica but maiden Trump's over all metal bands, Metallica had the luck to make it to Mai stream, but maiden did it in a far more difficult yet effective way by sheer hard work a quality song writing
Or Michael Jackson for that matter! Why does Metallica have to be everywhere in 2019?
If everyone remembers, Tull was bigger than Metallica!!!
I thought the same lol. I mean seriously comparing Metallica to maiden. Maiden has and always will be the best heavy metal band. Not only for their ability to produce amazing music, but continuing till this day, and still producing maiden quality music unlike most band especially Metallica who haven’t been able to produce anything good lately. And really tell me what other band has a lead singer who still sounds the same at the age that they are compare to when they were young. Bruce alone defeats Metallica as a whole.
Blaze is not a "bad" singer, he just did not fit Maiden imo
Very true
The Sooty on Nicko's drum kit was thrown on stage by a fan at Edinburgh playhouse in 88, I was at that gig.
rojolaf69 it happened at several shows around that time.
Can a Loudwire video pass withouth mentioning Metallica? The answer is NO
You have to fire shots you know, for the peoples reaction.
such a boring and unoriginal band… who cares about them?…
@SciFyerGaming Yes, ever since "...And Justice for All". Derivative, overcooked music.
Back in 1998 i was introduced to maiden by a game called carmegeddon 2 and i loved this band since then.
Purrcat Same here 😊
I have that game!
Yeah I was surprised they had Run To The Hills in Carmegeddon!!
Wow I owned the first carmageddon but never got the second, didn't realise it had maiden on it. Learn something new every day. I'd already been listening to maiden for 5 or 6 years before the first one came out.
oh yeah that is the OG release of Carmagedon 2 , it was an all maiden sound track cept in the menus. the steam re-release of carmageddon 2 they seemed to have swapped out the maiden tunes for some generic ass tunes. i was on the reverse side of buying it though , i bought the game because it had maiden on it (IM advertised the game big time on their web page back then)
I knew most of these because I just finished Bruce's autobiography: "What does this button do?" (And I've been a Maiden fan for 30+ years.)
I haven't gotten a hold of bruce's yet , but i did read Paul Di'anno's autobiography. it was pretty damn interesting
#1 isn't even historically accurate. It's not a Vietnamese tank. Not from the Vietnam War. It was from the WWII Guadalcanal Campaign. smh
MAIDEEEEEEN!…… Matellica bigger??? good joke… they are not able to play big stadiums everywhere on the planet like Maiden…
Yes they are.
Blaze was a fine singer. Sadly, he was handed an impossible task, replacing Bruce. I mean sometimes replacing a singer works, Dio replacing Ozzy, and Brian Johnson replacing Bon Scott(RIP), or Hagar replacing Lee Roth, but those guys where legendary singers in their own rights. But I think the difference is, people where not angry at AC/DC, Sabbath, Van Halen Ozzy or Dio or Lee Roth they understood why it wasn't working. But folks where pissed off hard at Dickenson for walking away and Maiden for letting him walk. It made no sense, and ultimately Bailey was just collatoral damage.
Also I dont think they where opposed to Punk, they just where not a part of it, and after D'ianno (who was pretty much a punk singer in a metal band) left, whatever that connection maiden had to punk was had gone.
Number 11 ; angry birds has dedicated a whole session to eddie in the angry birds evolution
METAL RULES !!!!!!!!
I think that's Barry Purkis as Eddie at 2:30 not Rod Smallwood. Smacked his nose on the camera, blood everywhere.
No it was Michael Kenney.
Had he broke his brow bone not his nose
UP THE IRONS!!!
1st 2 albums, Iron Maiden and Killers, with Paul DiAnno and Clive Burr were the best.
No disrespect for Nicko who is a great drummer but the late Clive Burr suited the band more. This is only my personal opinion of course.
He was one drummer who is often overlooked when they talk about all time great drummers.
RIP Clive.
I second that emotion.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT ! You go Paul Amarante ! There are lots of Maiden fans just like You ! Up the irons !
If that was the best lineup, then why did they not work thing through to keep Paul? Steve knew they needed a change & so did Paul!! I also remember seeing Paul do an interview in the 80’s where he knew Bruce WAS the best singer for Maiden!!!
The Legacy of the Beast concert was great.
The eddie inspiration tank fact is wrong. Derek only used the photo as inspiration for eddies skin texture
It's still an inspiration
when you were human?
I didn't know that Rod Smallwood once dressed as Eddie. I know that Nicko McBrain did.
Can someone solve the mystery why they dont play alexander the great
They have never been able to get it to sound right live; they tried it on both Somewhere on Tour and Somewhere Back in Time and it never made it past rehearsals on both occasions. It must be one of those songs that just can't be recreated outside of the studio (although The Iron Maidens play it live sometimes, got to see it last year and it was amazing!).
My friend and i where chatting today about this song he loves it and i hate the crap
Some folks said they never played INVADERS ,live, the first and perhaps best BEAST song on THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST ! Also, they are rumored to have never played PRODIGAL SON live. I would love to have someone come forward with a live recording(bootleg) or soundboard and prove everyone wrong ! Oh well,.....
becuz adrian can never remember the solo so i've heard
@@lylesommers1249 that sounds like a stretch, adrian can play everything
There's no exclusive in the band refusing due song writing credits to past members!
I knew almost everything xD Up the Irons!!!
Great now we have a guy that discovered Maiden through a video game
Here is yet another Iron Maiden fact. I saw Maiden in the Cart & Horses pub in 1976. My old school buddy was making his singing debut for Maiden that night. Paul Mario Day. We both went to Ruckholt Manor school in Leyton, and Tom Hood school in Wanstead. We still keep in touch. He now lives in Australia. FACT!
Metallica isn’t nearly on the same level as Maiden
hahah no at all. Maiden farrrr betterrrrr!
I actually knew a fair bit of this! No you need to change that stupid title of yours to " Iron Maiden: 10 Facts you MAY not have known" Or "Iron Maiden: 10 Facts you probably didn't know"
Same Here! Guess They THOUGHT We Didn't Watch the 'History of Iron Maiden' a Few Dozen Times ALREADY? LOL!!
Come on fess up, even if either of those were the title you "still" would have watched the video.
There is absolutely no way Metallica are bigger than iron maiden, no way!
3:13
Holy shit, Steve looks insanely like Randy Roads right there!! Anyone agree?
Holy shit yes
Do you mean Randy Rhoads of Ozzy Osbourne?
Yeah just like him...except not really at all. 😂
No it doesn’t
This is counter to the Trade Description Act and all these facts are established!
These facts are known by anyone who's into the band come on
Lorenzo Rizzardi couldn’t agree more
Yeah i thought the same
The true facts that is!!
Nicko incredible drummer!!!
Up the Irons 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Great to hear what I've always thought about Dickinson keeping at bay Harris with his mic stand. Always hated his antics on stage. My fault.
Maiden = Brirish
Metallica = American
I learned of this band when my dad accidentally bought a bootleg Dvd of a rock in Rio concert from the late 90s...... It was love at first sight for me.
Don't insult metal fans by suggesting we don't know these things. Oh and get the facts right - Eddie looks punk on the first album because of the influence of punk at that time. Witness DiAnno's vocal style (and appearance)
Well, the issue with Bailey wasn't his songwriting now was it?
666 the number of the beast
No. 11, I dated Adrian Smith's ex when he was in 'Urchin'..lol
No way!
Did you really say Iron Maiden is "underground"? Just because its metal doesn't mean its underground.
(Edit)
A lot of things in this are off and unspecific ... sorry.
NIKAKOLA GAMEZ I think he meant because they didn’t get radio play and stuff like that
@@bryang9290 Maiden did get radio play though, not much, but still
NIKAKOLA GAMEZ that’s what he was referring too. They became as big or bigger than many other bands with mostly underground word of mouth following
Metallica is everyone's band, really? They are sell outs. They used to be good. Get your fact right.
A sell-out is the very DEFINITION of "everyone's band". It's literally the term itself, SELLING OUT for MASS MARKET AND MASS APPEAL.
Always loved maiden never a metallica fan
Rob Halfmann same here. Thrash, I always preferred Megadeth!
I know one! Nicko McBrain is not an actual Brain (LOL) and he was the dude inside the eddie´s coustome beffore getting in the band
If I’m not mistaken, he was the devil on Beast On The Road!
Pls Loudwire, more of these videos.
I knew all of these but, like you said, Maiden fans can be a little obsessive. Haha!
I always thought its was Vincent price on the 666 intro
Now I'm trying to recall why I thought that was Vincent Price. Didn't it say so on the album cover?
I know right?? I found out only 2 years ago that it wasn't Vincent Price! The past 37 years have been a lie.
@@rockzilla5150 No, it wasn't. Vincent Price was wanting too much. They got someone named Barry Clayton
@@rockzilla5150 Did you not watch this video?
Frankie Teardrop but all you had to do was read the liner notes. Says it right there. On the album itself.
The Eddie in the Women in Uniform video was Michael Kenney
We all knew these things!
Refusing yo conform to punk. Ultimate Anarchist Achieved.
I hated heavy metal in 1980. Then, in 1981, the Number Of The Beast was released and my music taste was changed, completely and forever...
1982, Judas Priest Screaming for Vengeance tour with Iron Maiden on their Number of the Beast tour was the first concert I ever saw, Pittsburgh Pa.
Then I saw Iron Maiden the next year on their Piece of Mind tour in Pittsburgh which they headlined although I can't remember who opened for them, I think it was two acts that did.
Saw Judas Priest again in 1984 after I got out of basic training and was stationed in Heidelberg Germany, about 2 weeks after I got in country, Ted Nugent opened for them.
Duke Craig I saw Iron Maiden in ‘83 on the Piece Of Mind tour as well, in London. Bruce Dickinson had a cold, not that you could tell from his performance which was amazing, but he did keep dropping tissues on the stage. One young Roadie had the job of running on and collecting them every song or two....
@@JPHOT100
Ha ha ha ha, Roadies, the unsung heroes of rock n roll.
@@JPHOT100
Correction to my first post, I was stationed in Manheim, traveled down to Heidelberg to see the concert.
NOTB came out in 82!!! The tour was Beast On The Road!!!
The first time I ever heard Iron Maiden was on a really great rock station in Arizona called 98 KUPD. 4 weeks later I went and saw Powerslave. I had a 70 Z28, 15 speakers with 4 Rockford Fosgate amps, so when I would listen to Maiden going down the Freeway so would everybody else.
Eddie's face was inspired from a head on a burned out Japanese tank in WW2, not a Vietnamese tank.
That's not what Derek Riggs says in the 12 Wasted Years video, he said it was Vietnamese
Apparently, just before joining the band, Nicko was was of the guys running around on stage as Eddie, who had come along way from a prop that used to vomit blood on the Drummer of the time and was based on an old joke!
Up the Irons!
(who i have seen with Janick and Bruce and Janick and Blaze line-ups!)
🤘🏻
FUCKING IRON MAIDEN M8!!!!!!!!
🤘🤘
the intro is true. For us fans Maiden is not a band, it's a religion!
My favorite band ever!
Up the Irons Fuckers!! \m/
Fuckers? FUCKING SLAYER!
For people who have known Maiden from the beginning, all that was old news. Or as the infamous They might say in a modern TH-cam reference, Click Bait!
Shit...... I knew all those, I'll give you a REAL list of 10 things you probably didn't know...
Mighty Iron Maiden
R.I.P. Clive Burr.
I like the Maiden story, when they got bored while touring, so they hired a prostitute to ride a unicycle, wearing only a Bowler hat, while she spanked their asses with a stack of frozen, blueberry pancakes.
My favorite thing about that story is that it never actually happened, because I just made it up.
Bruce intentionally tripping Steve on stage?? Come on...
Eddie first appeared as a generic face on their stage sign, it belched smoke in the late 70s, well before Running Free.
I knew 9 of them (just not the Tony Hawk one), so yeah: 1 fact you didn't know
Me too. I don't game.
I loved that game.. and i played as Eddie.. ;)
Yes
don't want to be punk rock..1st 2 albums....Punk Rock (POV)
up the Irons
Long Live Maiden! 🤘
Long live the irons brotha!!!!!
You forgot when Bruce peformed in Sarajevo during the siege now that badass and many Bosnians respect him for that
I realize for today's generation you may not have known some of these little tidbits but I remember reading about this and all the magazines kerrang circus guitar player a bunch of other magazines to it's nothing you I grew up with all this shit
I knew almost all of this already, and did YOU know that the clip you show from the Women in Uniform video of Eddie sitting up quickly from the hospital gurney is NOT Rod Smallwood in the Eddie mask. It's Steve Harris' bass tech who has been with them since pretty much the beginning. He actually told the story of cutting his nose wide open on the camera in that scene you showed from the Women in Uniform promo video. YES, Rod Smallwood did wear the Eddie mask frequently in those early days, but that is not Smallwood in the Eddie mask in the video.
Thunderstick also did a stint behind the mask too, as did Nicko before he was taken on to replace Clive.
@@leonbateman1529 I am assuming you mean Nicko did his stint filling in for Clive during the Number of the Beast tour??
@@vbassone no, I mean Nicko was actually the walk on Eddie at a few shows where Nicko's band was on the same bill as Maiden. Nicko had been in contact with maiden for a while and actually played with them to fill in for a sick Clive Burr. I've included the link lower down. Nicko played on the same bill as Maiden a few times before he actually joined maiden. He played on the same bill as Maiden and Nazareth in a band called Mckitty. That's where Steve first saw him, so nicko did a few walk ons as Eddie because he was friendly with the band already.
Here's the link:
rockandrollgarage.com/back-time-nicko-mcbrain-debuts-disguised-eddie-iron-maiden/
@@leonbateman1529 He was also in a band called TRUST that toured with Maiden on the NOTB tour.
@@leonbateman1529 yes but nicko also had to wear the mask while drumming the various times he filled in for clive.
Not joining a small music genre ( punk) was considered Maiden's idea of not conforming?
I know the first 'fact' isn't a fact at all. Eddie didn't start out as a shadowy figure on the, Running Free single.
Eddie started out as a mask that was secured on an Iron Maiden banner they hung above the drums during shows. To make things cooler they put a blood bag behind the mask, that they'd cut open during the show and blood would leak out of the front of the mask and fall all over the drummer, who didn't much care for that at all.
'You can all now be righteously suspicious of the other nine of these, "Facts"
If you have seen the "history of iron maiden" dvds you know all this things
What Maiden fan DOESN'T know these? These 'facts' weren't even slightly obscure
Fact 11: Iron Maiden hardly ever use any cowbell
joe public it’s literally like only on “Can I Play With Madness”
@@JustinMcBrainDrums th-cam.com/video/cVsQLlk-T0s/w-d-xo.html
Wasn’t it Michael Kenney in the hospital bed? Not Smallwood
Comparing Maiden to Metallica is like comparing a Ford to a Jaguar.
...and Maiden is def the Jaguar!!!
@@patricksmith5049 cuz nicko collects them 😎
Blaze Bailey did alright, let's drop our fanboy bullshit.
Agree with the previous comment. These are no brainers for Maiden fans.
I don't wanna sound like a jackass, but I'm a die hard Iron Maiden fan, and I know all of these
You sound like a jackass
Bingo ! Very Good ! As a matter of fact, a die hard Maiden fan definitely knows more than just these ten ! Up the irons ! Horns Up !
@@towermedia5940 Hahahaha ! Had to do it, didn't you ? Lol
@@rickleblanc8900 he did it to himself
It's interesting that Harris and Dickerson vied for the frontman status, and then they got Gers who upstages them both with his douchy antics.
Any true fan knows Steve Harris is Iron Maiden.
Janick looks like he doesn't even play during the entire gig ! He just clowns around, just when I thought nobady could get more CLOWNISH then Anthrax !
@@attilaevil I saw Janick fall off a speaker stack trying to be funny once! Laughed my ass off!!
really harris antics weren't all that crazy bruce was just being a dick not wanting any of the guirtarist (or bassist) standing at the front of the stage next to him. and you'll note this was only durring the NoTB tour he was like this. back when he like most everyone else had (wrong) opinions about a bassist's place in a band and on stage. you'll note from PoM tour and onward that the whole bands stage dynamics changed after NoTB tour. and in the more modern era , they are definitely more "team" upfront style of attitude , as every one up there get's their moments. and quite often they share the spotlight so to speak.
