Ever since being raised in a polio hospital, John has had a lust for iron maidens, girls who dress in only metal polio back & leg braces

Couldn't make it as punkers and originally a pub band who have sold millions of albums and are now a metal wankfest for loudmouths. Notice how 90% of those who listen to them do so constantly and cannot go without referring to them as "THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME", "BEST IN THE METAL GENRE", etc.
Some okay songs if you don't mind wading through the MANY crappy ones and oh god... just... SHUT UP.

Very crappy metal band. Most of their songs follow a cookie-cutter power-ballad: Each song starts mid-tempo or slow, then after a few very repetive verses there is a guitar solo which starts at a slow tempo then suddenly gets fast in the middle, at which point the solo becomes totally unrelated to the song (listeners are supposed to think its good though). Iron maiden songs often repeat the same chorus four or five times in the same song. Be warned that Iron Maiden fans might actually get violent if you point out to them that iron maiden songs generally exemplify poor musicianship.
"Stranger in a strange land" is a cooky cutter power-balad with a crappy guitar solo and an over-repeated chorus. When is Iron Maiden going to learn to write decent songs?

The unwritten rule of music (mostly but not exclusively metal) that states that only Iron Maiden are allowed to wear their own band shirts on stage, by virtue of being Iron Maiden. It has been broken numerous times. The worst offenders are probably Amon Amarth, who wear their own merchandise in every photo and every video in which they aren't shirtless.
The reason for the rule is the same reason why it's generally gauche to wear a band shirt for the band you're going to see: band shirts are generally a way to broadcast your tastes and in so doing support a band that people might not have heard of.

People who grew up listening to the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden during the 1980s (also considered the golden age of metal).
My dad is part of the Iron Maiden generation. Him and his metalheads friends back in high school would always draw Iron Maiden's mascot Eddie in their notebooks.
