The iron maiden was a torturing device used under the medieval age and forward in Germany. It is basically a coffin with alot of various spikes lining the door. It wasn't made for killing, it was made for inflicting pain, though I believe the victims quite oftenly died, after screaming a day or two.
Iron Maiden so roxx!
No what are you saying! It's awful! I cannot believe how cruel humankind is.

The greatest band ever to grace the universe. they are the only thing i listen to, literally. i worship them. they are my gods, monarchy and family all at once. Their songs fill me with happiness and joy. if i get the chance to hypnotise the world, im gonna make EVERYONE worship them. their best song, in my opinion, is all of them. there is no such thing as a bad iron maiden song, as a matter of fact there is nothing bad about iron maiden.
man: who is iron maiden?
me: my gods!

The worlds best ever band, keep linkin park, greenday and girls aloud. Iron Maiden are so good that they dwarf even Motorhead and Metallica.
If you want to listen to a really good song go to HMV now and pick up any Iron Maiden Album. take it home bung it in your CD player and then enjoy the worlds best band.

Also, the reason the zombie is called eddie is very simple. In the garage that the band originally practiced in their was a halloween mask on the wall that was named "Ed the Head" this got turned into Eddie, who was given a body for the album cover and then became the bands mascot.
Iron Maiden kick so much ass that after listening to them you want to put your foot through something, the sole reason i took up my Bass guitar was just so that I could be like Steve Harris (who I idolise so much) I don't go a single day without listening to one of their songs.
