Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition
Spanning five decades, Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition charts their iconic
rise to become one of the biggest bands in music history.
Iron Maiden are an English heavy metal band formed in Leyton, East London,
in 1975 by bassist and primary songwriter Steve Harris. Although fluid in the
early years of the band, the line-up for most of the band's history has consisted
of Harris, lead vocalist Bruce Dickinson, drummer Nicko McBrain, and
guitarists Dave Murray, Adrian Smith and Janick Gers. As pioneers of the
new wave of British heavy metal movement, Iron Maiden released a series
of UK and US Platinum and Gold albums, including 1980's eponymous
debut album, 1981's Killers, and 1982's The Number of the Beast – its
first album with Dickinson, who in 1981 replaced Paul Di'Anno as lead
singer. The addition of Dickinson was a turning point in their career,
establishing them as one of heavy metal's most important bands. The
Number of the Beast is among the most popular heavy metal albums
of all time, having sold almost 20 million copies worldwide.
Iron Maiden have sold over 130 million copies of their albums
worldwide and have obtained over 600 certifications. The band
is considered to be one of the most influential and revered
heavy metal bands of all time
