Iron Maiden The story begins in 1971, when Steve Harris was 15 years old, she was inspired by his favorite of Wishbone Ash, Jethro Tull and early Genesis generation, he bought a bass guitar replica Telecaster and behave like a nobleman to pay £ 40. Harris previously had a vision ports are now one day playing football and his love of West Ham United and he signed up as a young player at the football school. However, talent and The Hammers organization of young players at that time was far from a professional system. Continuing to play and practice regime also means that small Harris could not join his teammates do have a drink, watch bands and disturbing woman.
After thinking long and hard, he abandoned hope of going to a football career and build the strength to love and understand the rock music. He thinks that how he plays with his favorite recordings and play music with her friends. He led the formation of the band by the name of Influence and later changed their band name to Gypsy's Kiss. Gypsies made their debut at the talent contest in Poplar, the end of all the goals with the mention of this is the day. Harris fired by ambition harbored by a band called Smiler. Some of the other band members are older than her age. Harris took some valuable experience but still feel helpless. Smiler a band "good time boogie" and even if they never played a version of "Innocent Excile" early, they turn back the "hidden ambition" and make clear that they did not expect the bass player became manager and leader and songwriter. Harris finally realize that only by forming the band together and at the end of 1975 IRON MAIDEN born. Harris got the name from Iron Maiden to see the old movie with the title "The Man In The Iron Mask". It is an iron coffin with sports shoes inside and the victim was placed inside and stabbed (like meat) until death.
In the spring of 1976, the band ensures secure a place in the Cart and Horses pub in Stratford in East London. The first pair looks ok, but Harris still felt something was missing. Singer Paul Day to replace ex-Smiler Dennis Wilcock and he recommends a talented young guitarist named Dave Murray. This places the resident guitarists Terry Rance back and Paul Sullivan who insult their talent and departure. Bob Sawyer, who used the name Bob D'Angelo, was recruited as second guitarist and with Ron Rebel on drums the first create a formation that deserves Iron Maiden. At the time of initial formation of good bands to get a goal in the entire East London, formed the local forces. After 6 months, the formation changed again. Bob came out for trouble trying to balance the guitar Murray. Bob still trying to compete with it - definitely not a contest. Then, after a row at The Bridgehouse, Den fired Murray who want to join with Urchin, the band which was his old friend, Adrian Smith.
With all sorts of strife, the band decided freely while the concept of two guitars and Terry Wapram join the solo guitar and Tony Moore was recruited to play keyboards. Ron Rebel decided not handle the aggravation and also left the band to be replaced Barry Purkis - who then calls him Thunderstick. Latest formation play to one goal at The Bridgehouse and it was filled with pain that the keyboard is not the answer. Exit Moore followed Wapram claims that do not want to follow the game without a keyboard! Harris came to the Urchin to persuade Murray to join back with the pack Maiden. Den, then stop before the destination in South London and when Thunderstick also go, something seen as bleak. Harris recruited ex-Smiler drummer Doug Sampson, and when they saw the three of them exercise a new singer.
Eventually, a friend Steve recommended Paul Di'Anno. Paul passed the audition with flying colors and the band formed when they return. It is difficult at first in 1977 is the Punk / New Wave revolution full of rhythm and a lot of places where the event shows just ordered a new wave flow. Record companies also felt the same. The band received an offer, if they were preparing to cut hair and a punk. It's no good saying you'll guess the answer to Harry.
Late 1978, the situation enough to allow bands playing improvised and made them go back and get regular performances. They realize that they need a demo and to show their new year at Spaceward. Some studio near Cambridge recorded "Prowler", "Invasion", and "Iron Maiden". Recording session to pay £ 200 and the band can not afford to buy the master tapes. When they returned several weeks later to pay for tapes and recordings, the tapes were erased, they just get the original tapes are not edited and do not in the mix. Murray gave the tape to Neal Kay, a DJ with a love of hard rock that often hold a regular rock nights at The Soundhouse, which is adjacent to the bandwagon Pubs in Kingsbury, North London. The band has found the ease of ordering and enlarge the appearance of their residence at The Ruskin Arms in Manor Park. Neal play the tape once in a night at the Soundhouse and he was surprised at his reaction. Cassette demo also got the attention of Rod Smallwood. Rod was a friend of rugby, who also worked with Harris trying to tape and after listening to him, volunteered to be Manager. Ron set the appearance to the whole country to allow the band to form a vast power in the country and also set the appearance at or near the center of London to get record companies to be aware of Iron Maiden. One appearance was at The Marquee on October 13. John Darnley from EMI saw Iron Maiden and Ron bet with manager of The Marquee that their performances will be sold (700 fans) at 7 pm. Rod won the stakes and Iron Maiden EMI signed next month. What followed was the music that persecuted the inexhaustible strength of the band who packed to be part of heavy metal-IRON MAIDEN.
Iron Maiden was released in 1980 from critics and a commercial success. The band became the opening moment in 1980 when the concert tour of Kiss, Unmasked Tour Concert, as good as the legendary band's choice of opening song Judas Priest. After the Kiss tour, Dennis Stratton was fired from the band due to creative differences and personal results. Finally, at the right time came to Adrian Smith. Smith brings a melody, which sounds strange to Iron Maiden. Bluesnya Smith, sound experiments that complement the speed of the game against Murray, style lightning speed. One characteristic of the identity of Iron Maiden is a stylish double "twin lead", the style of guitar harmonization between Murray and Smith, a pioneer of the style of Wishbone Ash and the Allman Brothers Band, it was the result of a whole new level of style of Iron Maiden.
In 1981, Maiden released their second album titled Killers. This album contains the most popular songs of the band's first, and they introduce to the listeners in the U.S.. At this moment when the appearance kebintangan they become the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, even though the band was originally from England but flooding the U.S. market. Killers leave the rest of the album one of the fastest and heaviest band, leaving a kefavoritan between hardcore music fans.
