maiden

1) A young lady, especially an unmarried one.

2) Short for iron maiden. A Mideval torture device used in Germany. Basically, it was a coffin. The head and body of a maiden were sculpted into it to give the machine more dignity and elegance. The insides of the doors were lined with spikes, which would pierce the victim, although not fatally, so that he/she would die a slow, painful death.
Women, and especially attractive maidens, were given much grief in times past. Men would look for any excuse to torment them.

maidenize

1. Verb referring to the act of adding Iron Maiden-related matierial to something else, such as playing Iron Maiden songs at a party, sowing Iron Maiden patches onto one's denim vest, putting Iron Maiden stickers onto one's guitar, or making someone like Iron Maiden's music.

2. Verb referring to the addition of time and tempo changes as well as twin guitar harmonies to an already composed piece of music to make it sound more like Iron Maiden's style. A famous example is Steve Harris' maidenization of "22 Acacia Avenue", which Adrian Smith had already written for his previous band.

You must maidenize your son as I have mine. I took him to one of the SBIT shows I attended. He soon wanted a Maiden shirt and just loves The Trooper!

The first song he ever wrote, it was a reworked from its original incarnation and "Maidenized", becoming the second part of the Charlotte saga in the process.

Iron Maiden

The greatest metal band of all time. A NWOBHM band that has defined all metal we know today (excluding Nu-Metal). Iron Maiden (along with the also immortal Judas Priest , Thin Lizzy, and Motorhead) influenced every 80s and 90s thrash band (including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, and most noticeably Iced Earth) and invented the Power Metal genre (even though technically IM is neither thrash metal nor power metal). Their best albums are the golden trio: Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, and Powerslave. Their two new albums, Brave New World and Dance of Death, also kick fucking ass. Their best song, fuck it, THE BEST METAL SONG EVER MADE is Hallowed be Thy Name.
Iron Maiden is the beginning. Iron Maiden is the reason. Bruce Dickinson is the best singer. Dave Murray and Adrian Smith (and Janick too) are the best guitarists. Steve Harris is the all-time best songwriter and a damn good bassist, and Nicko McBrain is a fucking amazing drummer. Iron Maiden can't be fought.

Iron Maiden

The best Metal band ever. Best thing to come out of England, i'd say. They are genius, and not satanic, which many people of the US Portray them as.

They have so many awesome hits. Almost every song they write is amazing!
