One of the songs towards the very end of the story mode was Number of the Beast, and truth be told I thought nothing of it. I first found Iron Maiden through Guitar Hero III, Legends of Rock when I was maybe 10 years old. If you just want to read what I have to say about the albums, then you can skip this section. I think it’s important to understand my background with the group so the reader (you) can understand where I’m coming from in a bit more detail when I talk about them. I’ll be posting a new part to this mini-series every Monday around 4:00 EST, so be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss it if it’s something you’re interested in.īefore talking about the albums, I’m going to talk about my history with the band. I’ll continue to update this section with links to each blog when they become available. If you’re looking for other albums, check out these blogs here: In this blog, we’re only going to be looking at the Paul Di’anno era of Iron Maiden. As of now, the band has 16 studio albums, 12 live albums, and 4 EPs. The band struggled a bit in the ‘90s, but with frontman Bruce Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith returning in 1999, the band went through a resurgence in the 2000’s and 2010’s.
The band released their first studio album in 1980, exploded during the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, or NWOBHM, and were untouchable during the ‘80s. Iron Maiden is a metal band from London, England, formed in 1975.
