I met Bruce Dickinson in a pub. He's really small.

I used to be in a band who tried to emulate a lot of maideny type stuff when I was a teenager. We supported Lauren Harris one gig and Steve was there. We covered fear of the dark that night as well. I was made up. Got my maiden shirt signed and still have it. And it was in the 6.6.2006.
I'm a fan club member so there's my answer.
No band on earth can do what maiden do. They can try and emulate but that's it. Harris was a revolutionary and even tho he sacked a lot of band members at the beginning we wouldn't be talking about maiden if he didn't. Dave Murray and Adrian smith don't get half the recognition they deserve and later on you can throw Janick Gers in the mix. No on can sing like Bruce and Nicko is the god of metal drumming as quoted time and time again by other metal drummers, an octopus in the words of tommy lee. The mid 90's is probably there only dodgy period with blaze bailey on vocals but still they were trying to be different and go with the slow moody metal, later incorporated by bands like cradle of filth and type o negative.
One last thing, they are the only band to have a uk number 1 without the song ever being played by radio 1, that song was "bring your daughter to the slaughter"

Anyone band which has a song called 'Bring your daughter to the slaughter' gets a yay from me.
massive nay, utter garbage summing up a dreadful genre

Obviously this depends on personal taste.
If one person likes Justin Bieber or McFly doesn't mean I have a crap music taste just because I love Malmsteen.
of course it doesn't mate, just a massive swerve from my own personal tastes
Massive YAY! Dave and Adrian are one of my favourite guitarists, Harris is one of my favourite bassists. Bruce the Pilot is a great singer as well, and as @SLAVEN BILIC said - Nicko is a fantastic drummer.
Gutted I didn't see them cuz they pulled out of Sonisphere a few years ago. Saw Judas Priest instead, as they came to the "rescheduled" gig a month later anyway.
I've sort of "outgrown" them, in the sense that I don't listen to their stuff as much as I did before, but I never could just listen to 1 band all the time anyway...

Qualified yay from me - great imagery, they're an institution and dominated their own genre - respect. The sound is just too dated for me, though - too weak. Maybe in 1982 it was the bomb-diggity, but didn't stand the test of time for even 5 years.
Stick on something like You're living all over me from Dinosaur (1987) and is still sounds amazing. Iron Maiden stuff is just nostalgia in comparison.

big time yay from me. I've seen them twice, and they were amazing both times. Almost makes me want to fly BA... almost.
