1) A british metal band, easily recognized by Bruce Dickinsons distinct voice and amazing vocal range. Best known songs include Run to the Hills, Number of the Beast and Hallowed be Thy Name. Latest album (as of 2007) was A Matter of Life & Death. Iron Maiden takes their name from the torture device (below).
2) A torture device, where the victim would be impaled from all sides by spikes. Contrary to popular belief, no iron maidens have ever actually been used. The only known non-contemporary model was built in the late 19th century as a hoax.
1) "I heard that Bruce Dickinson rejoined Iron Maiden! Rock on!"
2) "You don't like Iron Maiden? Get in the iron maiden!"

The greatest band ever!
Formed in East London in 1976 as a pub band,they are now one of the most immatated bands in Heavy Metal. The man who has held the band together through the rough times is Bass God Steve Harris. Steve had always dreamed of playing football for his team, West Ham United, but took up the Bass when they turned him down (to americans reading- West ham utd are a soccer team from England whose badge is the castle and hammers badge on Steve's bass). He was formerly a member of pub rockers Smiler. The heavy metal scene of the late 70s was widely regarded as stagnant, with only a few bands proving their ability to survive and produce music of quality. It was at this time that a new breed of young british bands began to emerge. This movement which began to break cover in 79 and 80 was called the new wave of british heavy metal and maiden were the definitive example. Since then, they've recorded 13 studio albums with dozens of classic metal anthems including hallowed be thy name, the trooper, aces high and the evil that men do.

A small organization that by duplicitous means makes unsuccessful attempts to alter its identity. They often get A for effort and imagination.
"Wat? Did these guys seriously think we were going to buy this? Maidens of Madness? lol"
